MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
THE RURAL’S FALL CAMPAIGN. 
A TRIAL TRIF ! 
How to Save Postage Next Year. 
The Rural New-Yorker recently entered 
upon the Fall Term of Its Twenty-Fifth Year, 
and, in order to close Its first quarter of a cen¬ 
tury properly and tret a good send-off for its 
next annual voyage, proposes to make it an 
object for at least ten thousand persons to take 
a Trial Trip on board the stanch old craft. 
Please listen to our propositions : 
1. The Thirteen Numbers of the Rural's 
closing Quarter for 1874—Oct. 1 to Doc. 31—will 
be sent, on Trial, for Only Fifty Cents, to the 
address of any person in the United States 
whoso remittance is received before Nov. 1. 
3. To all whose subscriptions for 1875 (whether 
singly at $2.50 per copy, or in clubs at f2,) arc 
remitted previous to Doc. 1,1874, we will send 
the Rural for the ensuing year free of p istage, 
or prepay the postage under the new law. All 
subscribing after Dec. 1 will be charged 15 cents 
ext ra for postage so that those remitting early 
will save that amount. 
Agents, Subscribers and other friends of 
Moore’b Rural are earnestly Invited to make 
known the above offers, and to lend their Influ¬ 
ence to render the Trial Trip a success.

THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
Tloopaton, III., Oct. 26.—[The following is 
from a correspondent, who Is constantly travel¬ 
ing and sends us the result of his observations. 
Eds. Rural.]— The State of New' York has 
had a fair rainfall In 1874 and magnificent crops 
In every line is the result. Her dairy products, 
cereals, potatoes and tobacco have been great, 
and as the prices are good the farmers are pros¬ 
perous. Not so with her sister States. New 
England has boon dry: the South and West 
more so. Ohio was so dry that. In August the 
past ures had failed and most of the cheese fac¬ 
tories were closed because the cows gave no 
milk and all crops, except wheat, nearly a fail¬ 
ure. Kentucky and most of the West have 
shared the same fate and In many places with 
the aid of grasshoppers, the failure has been 
complete. Nor lias Canada escaped. From 
present Indications, the protracted drouth must 
seriously affect the wheat, crop of 1875. In New 
York tho wheat probably never looked better 
at this season of the year. It has been so dry 
in the West that but, few fields are promising 
and the chinch bugs In many localities, are ap¬ 
propriating these. In the corn producing dis¬ 
tricts, corn is in demand at high prices. I say 
to the farmers, “You are making money.” The 
reply Is, “No, our crop is light." In Central 
Indiana, in the vicinity of the Wabash River, 
the fall wheat looks fine, and on inquiry I learn 
that they have had rain the past season and fine 
crops, corn, In many cases, yielding 70 and 100 
bushels per acre. This is a heavy timber coun¬ 
try. Is the timber entitled to credit for the In¬ 
creased rain ? At this time (Oct. 26) no rain has 
yet fallen in Northern Illinois and the North¬ 
west, and many farmers haul water several 
miles for household use and also for their stock. 
— j. e. w. 
Attica, Wyoming Co., N. Y., Oct. 26.— This 
evening clouds seem to gather that indicate 
rain ere long; but as “all signs fall In a dry 
time," we let these indications run their 
chances. Tender grape tips are to be seen un¬ 
scathed in favored spots hereabout, and some 
apple still “ dressed In living green" In Attica 
thus late In October. Severer drouth in soil or 
wells and streams, the oldest resident never 
saw In this region. Fruit matured (or failed to 
mature) this season very unevenly ; grapes are 
small and not as good as usual. Apples are 
also small and badly stung by the codling moth 
and gnawed by the hungry ants? To-day was 
summer like, and the parched earth keeps off 
frosts yot. Farmers have had a fine time to se¬ 
cure their potatoes aud do their fall work.—8. r. 
Lyndonvllie, Vi., Oct. 2«>.— What delightful 
autumn weather! Sunny and fair as .Tune, and 
the thermometer at midday about 70 Q . Farm¬ 
ers never had a more favorable season to do 
their harvest work and prepare for winter. 
Very little rain has fallen for two months, and 
the springs and streams are very low for the 
season. The crops are all gathered and the 
yield generally' good. Corn and wheat never 
bettor; oats good and potatoes medium. Very 
few apples in this section, but the abundance 
of other sections bas supplied the demand at 
reasonable rates. Fall fruit, $2.50@3 per bbi.; 
winter, $3@4. One firm in the county received 
last week 2,000 bbls. from the West. No frost 
to speak of before the middle of October, and 
I have yet to see the first flake of suow on the 
ground. Warm south wind to-day.—i. w. s.

since our last. Shippers have shown n desire to pur¬ 
chase on urgent orders only, which they have closed 
out generally at about He- decline, or at 16o. for the 
best arriving, taking about 19,000 boxes for the week. 
There are some parties holding fancy lots who 
claim full, unchanged figures, this class of stock be¬ 
ing especially scarce and anticipating a more active 
inquire later on. The home trade, which is moder¬ 
ate, obtain Supplies nearer the market for shipping 
lots than usual. We quote:

moving so bruskly, but old prices are adhered to, 
notwithstanding the free receipts. Tne arrivals or 
Virginia peanuts are of poor quality and prices are
