done much injury in some instances, leaving 
California alone in the enjoyment of a fine 
prospect for a good average yield. Values in 
the San Francisco market have succumbed 
to the general tendency and are low, 20 cents 
having been the rate of purchases by brew¬ 
ers, which represents the full limit. New 
have been contracted for within the range 
of 14 to 17 cents per pound, and by way of 
special favor to the shippers 20 cents has 
been allowed in isolated instances for the 
few bales of new. __ 
A firm of hay dealers in this city after 
having made careful Inquiries and exam¬ 
ined in person various localities as to the 
crop of hay just gathered conclude that 
for this market there will be nearly a full 
average crop, with quality very much bet¬ 
ter when compared with last year’s. The 
aftermath and coarse fodder promise a 
large growth. Present receipts are ample 
for all wants. The market demands are 
for good qualities, which sell at fair prices: 
while unsound, poorly cured stuff is not 
wanted, and if sold at all, at low prices. 
Better and more remunerative prices will 
prevail for this crop, varying from $1 to $3 
per ton. 
The onion crop will be a fair one on the 
average from present appearances. While 
some parts of the country have an excel¬ 
lent crop, onions are nearly a failure in 
others owing to varying causes. In New 
England the crop is extra both as to yield 
and acreage except in Connecticut. East¬ 
ern New York has a large increase over 
last year, while in the onion growing sec¬ 
tions of Madison County and western New 
York there is a shortage. Ohio has a short 
crop, but other Western States report 
about an average. New Jersey has a good 
crop. Under present conditions growers 
should realize remunerative prices unless 
such large quantities are hurried to mar¬ 
ket as to produce a glut early in the season. 
A good plan is for growers to distribute 
their shipments through the winter. With 
the present high rate of duty, it is simply 
out of the question for importers to reduce 
the price to an unprofitable basis.

Buttkr shows no change except for Western dairy 
and factory which did not share In las* woek’s ad¬ 
vance, but Is now doing better. The market Is well 
shocked and the demand light for everything except 
the best qnallttes. State dairy is In light receipt, but 
mostly for held goods. The market as a whole Is 
weak and holders are willing to make concessions at 
times rather than lose a customer.

Chkksk has advanced slightly on some grades, but 
trade Is dragging and sales slow. Best qualities show

have been bringing fair prices; yellow ones are most

cheeked ones are doing well. Bartlett Pears selling 
well; others slow. Plums more in demand at better 
prices. Grapes are in large supply. M Ions are ex¬

ter can be seen with it. The Telescope tubes are 
made from heavy polished brass ; the body is cov¬ 
ered with morocco, making a thoroughly substan¬ 
tial instrument. It is achromatic ; that is, does 
not blur the vision by a confusion of colors. Retail

$3.00. Given to any present subscriber for two new 
subscriptions at $2.00 each. Or, for $3.50 we will send
