25 per cent stacked and the rest in the 
shock and subject to great damage by 
rains. The farmers are complaining bit¬ 
terly because the jobbers and railroad men 
have sent all the men and machines they 
could get to Dakota, when Minnesota real¬ 
ly needs them just as much. 
Messrs. James Lindsay & Son, Glasgow, 
Edinburgh and Leith, cable that in their 
markets October 19, apples sold as follows: 
Baldwins, $2.90 to $3.88; Greenings, $2 67 to 
$3.39; Kings, $3.39 to $4.85; Yandervere, 
Wagner, Fameuse and Spys, $2.90 to $3.63; 
Pippins, $2.67 to $3.88 ; Golden Russets, 
$2.67 to $3.89. Prices are lower in conse 
quence of so many parcels arriving in bad 
condition. The apples ex steamer Circassia 
were almost worthless, being in a rotten 
condition. This boat came in collision with 
another vessel and was compelled to return 
to New York, where she was detained nearly 
a week repairing the damages incurred.

Butter has advanced for best creamery and dairy, 
but buyers are not buying in large quantities as they 
do not anticipate a continuance of present prices. 
The receipts of dairy are larger, but the bulk of the 
offerings are not above prime and sell below our best 
quotations. There is a good demand for fresh factory.

Fruits.— Apples are in large receipt and sell a little 
slowly. The prices from the other side also show a 
decline partly on account of heavy shipments and 
partly on account of the poor condition in which 
many of the lots arrived. Grapes are firm, but prices 
do not advance much. Choice pears are in demand 
at better prices. A few peaches still linger, but meet 
altmttel demand. Quinces are scarce and wanted. 
Florida oranges are green and sell slowly. Evaporated 
and sundried apples lower and dull. Little change in 
other dried fruits.

from $2@$8 per bushel. 
Poultry.— The market has dropped away down, 
The Jewish holidays which create such a demand are 
over, and the receipts have been so heavy during the 
past week that stock has accumulated and prices 
gone down with a rush. Squabs are scarce and 
wanted. All kinds of game in good demand if of 
choice quality.

quarts. 
GRAIN MARKETS. 
WHEAT.—Late private cables reported the con¬ 
firmation of the Russian ukase respecting the pro. 
hibitive exportation of oats from that country, and 
on this there was general buying, chiefly by “ shorts.” 
There were rumors of an enormous export business, 
which also had a strengthening influence. Free buy¬ 
ing by a prominent local operator, who sold on 
Thursday last, contributed to the late firmness, and 
closing private foreign accounts were steadier, thus 
adding to the buoyancy. Paris was 10 centimes higher 
on wheat, while flour was reduced that much In some 
cases. Arrivals at interior points were 1,151,145 
bushels spring and 242,470 bushels winter, against 
524 650 and 87,220 bushels respectively. The spot mar¬ 
ket ruled Irregular sympathizing with options. 
Sales—Northern Spring, $1 04 8-16®$l 05 afloat ; No. 1 
Northern Spring $1 0776081 OT96 afloat; Ungraded 
Winter Red, 98*4c@81 0714 ; No. 2 Red, afloat, $1 0376®

do March, $1 0994081 1094 : do Apr.l, $1 10740*111; do 
May, $11074@$11194. RYE.—Steady as a general 
rule, but trading slow. Sales—Western and Canada 
afloat, quoted at 9776@98c; c. f. and 1. stock nominal, 
9674c. BARLEY.—Rather easier and very dull. Sales - 
No. 2 Milwaukee quoted at 7007 c to arrive. CORN.— 
Strong and higher cables contributed to the rise, but* 
beside this, the receipts at the West were somewhat 
below expectations. Bradstreet’s reported a decrease 
of 1 6.0,000 bushels for the week in available stacks 
east of the Rockies, which exerted additional firm' 
ness, and the Russian ukase in regard to oats helped 
the upward tendency. The spot market advanced 
because of the scarcity of stock, which tended to 
check trade. Sales—Ungraded Mixed and White, 6474 
@66c ; No. 2 mixed, 64 74@65c elevator, 65T6@66c afloat; 
No. 2 November, 6176@ 6294C, closing at 629<c ; do De¬ 
cember, 5496056c; do January, 527405374c ; do Feb¬ 
ruary, 527405294c ; do May, 507605174c. OATS.-Ex- 
porters were in the market, and higher prices pre¬ 
vailed all around. The confirmation of the Russian 
ukase prohibiting exportation was an important 
factor in the buoyancy. The spot market advanced 
and closed firm. Sales.—No. 3 mixed, 85c elevator ;

TONS OF BUL’TER DAILY. 
Ten thousand pounds of butter a day is the output 
that entitles the Franklin County Creamery Assocla 
tion to the name of " the largest creamery In the 
world.” 
Mr. T. M. Deal, the manager, says ; “ As a uniform 
and natural color has a very large Influence upon the 
selling price of butter, we made the roost critical 
tests before adopting anyone as our standard. We 
finally setled upon Wells, Richardson & Co.-s Im. 
proved Butter Color, which we found the strongest, 
purest, and most natural of the many upon the 
market.” 
These are strong words, but this Improved Color 
is fully worthy of them. The best is none too good 
for you, especially when on account of its superior 
strength, it is really the most economical. Try it 
once, and you will never uss anything else for color¬ 
ing.— Adv.

THE “ BEST” LIGHT. 
Mighty few things are “ best ” nowadays, 
but in the Pittsburg lamp we believe we 
have found the “ best ” lamp. It certainly 
is the best lamp we know anything about. 
At first we only half believed the claims of 
the manufacturers. We did not know that 
any kerosene light could be so beautifully 
soft and strong—a powerful light without 
glare and flicker 
easy and delight¬ 
ful for tired eyes. 
Now we are con¬ 
vinced and hearti¬ 
ly indorse all the 
claims so far test¬ 
ed, The lamp it¬ 
self Is a thing of 
beauty. Here is a 
picture of perhaps 
the handsomest of 
the series. They 
are finished in sil¬ 
ver, embossed and 
highly ornament¬ 
al. We would be 
glad to send one 
to every home in the great Rural family, 
and we have arranged to furnish our sub¬ 
scribers with any of these lamps at special 
rates. The silver lamp above figured, com¬ 
plete, with a year’s subscription, for $5.50 ; 
in brass, ditto, at $4 50. Given also for two 
new subscriptions and your renewal (three 
in all) accompanied by $7 total for the sil¬ 
ver; $6 for the brass. Retail prices for 
these lamps are considerably higher. For 
other styles see special circular, which wil 1 
be sent on application.
