THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
THE EASTERN WAR. 
The Russian General, Mlllkofr, officially an¬ 
nounces tlie capture of the fortified town of Ar- 
dahan, between Batoun and Kars, with sixty guns 
and Immense stores of provisions and ammuni¬ 
tion. The Turks fled. Tills Is the first Important 
success of the Russians, and is ominous ol the fate 
of Kars. 
THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
New York, Saturdny, May 111. hTJ. 
During the past week war Influences have not 
blended with trade matters to a stimulating extent. 
Breadstuff's and provisions have moved In the down¬ 
ward scale of prices, and at present speculative 
strength are not sufficiently animated to resist the 
easier course of quotations. If affairs abroad be¬ 
come more complicated, specularlou may revive; 
but. ns we are approaching the season of liberal re¬ 
ceipts, especially of cereals, a repetition of the 
rocket-like movement that followed ttio early part 
of the outbreak, is not likely to take place. 
Beans and Peas— There is quite a paune attend- 
»ng the trade iu uieulutn beans, owing to the inflexi¬ 
bility of prices. Marrows, which depend tnaiulc on 
export outlet, are quiet, prices hern having outrun 
rates that can pa realized tu Lhlruna. i’ea beans dull

Butter.—T ho 4veek has been another evidence of 
lho tender markets of spring. Early In the week 
supplies began to enlarge, and buyers became less 
anxious about tilling tneir wauls, hater on m the 
Week receipts pouri.ul In quite heavily. And ut the 
close sellers have just what they do not want at. this 
sciiaon—soino considerable supplies. One thing In 
In Umlr favor Is quality, but ns the quick-made 
stock of May has hot a keeping body, quick sales arc 
preferable. With the supply here and the probable 
free receipts, quotations are rut bar unsettled. All 
grade-sot State . . ....... at our lust, The pall 
people attempted to run up prices in the lace of the 
current supplies, but hud to take a back truck. As a 
rule, consumers these days are not so particular 
ap'.ut the style of package, and muiiy of the old 
devotees of *" Grange Co.' are content with good,

Eaas.—Thu week hus been a dull one. Receipts 
ara n a oppressive, but the demand seems to fall ntr 
In advance of favorable supplies. The weather has 
turned unusually warm, and the fact creates a desire 
to sell, while buyei s do not wish to purchase heavily. 
Even with late business, the latter begin tu demand 
loss off. Though sellers have in.it yet conceded the 
term, rather than miss a sale they will promise to 
make marks good.

in this trade. Concessions have been necessary from 
any to day. to Kcl even a small business. This hus 
been occasioned by the comparatively turue advices 
from the Other side, and their eBect upon wheat 
values, together with somewhat Increasing supplies, 
i absence of speculative inquiry, an apathetic condi¬ 
tion of the knnm trade, mid also ws a reaction from

COUNTRY CHEESE MARKET. 
Little Falls, N. y.. May 19.1877. 
The market has been Arm and active Uils week, at 
an advance on best grades of cheese of about Ho. 
above last week's prices. The range for factories 
was from 13c. to 15c., with an uveruge of 14He. to 
14K. for bulk of sales. Nearly 4.()00 boxes changed 
hands out of offerings estimated to reach 5,000. and 
i f the sales. 1,;>2I boxes went at HVi'e.: 1,117 boxes (it 
D*c. to llgc,: 332 boxes at Hhic. ut ,5c.; 187 boxes at 
18e, to 144c., with alow lots on commission. 
Between 300 and 400 boxes of farm dairy cheese 
were on delivery, and sold at from lie. to 144c., ac¬ 
cording to quality. The lowijr-prieed cheese was i 
skimmed, but the quantity of such offered U growing 
less from week to week. 
Contrary to all expectation, butter took a rise, and 
sold at from 3c. to do. above rates paid last week 1 
The delivery was light, but quotations may be put at 
a range of 18e, to 24c., with a tub or Lwo going at 25c. 
The ruling price for prime may be put at 21c. to 22c. 
The country is suffering very much for want of 
rain, and pastures come forward slowly, there being 
| not yet sufficient grass for the keep of stock when 
turned out. Most of the herds are yet in the yards, 
and are fed from tins stable. 
We have advices from abroad for tho fourth week 
in April. Our London correspondent Hays till de¬ 
scription* ot English cheese are in very small com¬ 
pass. ThOTe Is a steady demand for American, the 
stock of which is very small. We give quotations -
