THE RURAL MEW-YDBHEB. 
in 1886. It is authoritatively stated that Cana¬ 
dian apples have been more sought after in 
the foreign markets than truit from the 
States, and while good prices have been real¬ 
ized for the former, shippers of the latter have 
considered themselves fortunate to lose noth¬ 
ing but the time and labor expended in culti¬ 
vation. in Canada the yield of apples has 
been fairly good, while it is generally conced¬ 
ed that in the States the crop was short and 
of the poorest quality that has been harvested 
in years. 
The receipts of domestic linseed in New 
York, according to the official figures of the 
Produce Exchange, reached 1,607,050 bushels 
for the entire year of 1887, in comparison with 
1,940,811 bushels for 1886. Exports from New 
York for last year only amounted to 15,911 
bushels, against 652,269 bushels for 1886. 
Receipts in Chicago from July 30 to Decem¬ 
ber 31 aggregated 4,077,474 bushels, 5,532,866 
bushels for the same period in 1886, while the 
shipments show a decrease of 1,282,971 bush¬ 
els for last year. The opening of this year 
recorded the highest price of the season, and 
the prices of the last three months of 1887 
make quite a contrast with the similar period 
of 1886, which accounts for the rapid advance 
in linseed oil. As a close estimate of the seed 
crop is given at 9,000,000 bushels, there is a 
belief that the high values will be maintained. 
Large quantities of potatoes are still being 
shipped irom Halifax to the United States. 
Five cargoes of 250,000 bushels are now ice¬ 
bound in the basin of Minas bay, but it is 
expected that they will get clear in a few 
days. Over $50,000 worth of potatoes was 
shipped from Halifax to the United States 
during the last quarter of 1887. 
Bradstreet’s sums up the produce market 
during the week, briefly thus: Total exports 
of wheat aud flour, both coasts, this week are 
equal to 2,230,565 bushels, against 1,857,309 
bushels last week, the gain being chiefly at 
San Francisco. Produce speculation has been 
more active, with prices sharply downward. 
Chicago operators favored the decline in 
gram (wheat % cent, corn % cent), and Chi¬ 
cago speculators in provisions were “shaking 
out the tailers.” The Kansas City hog mar¬ 
ket has received a black eye, prices going 
down 40 to 50 cents per hundredweight. Cat¬ 
tle, after reaching the highest price of the 
year, fell 15 to 20 cents. Cotton has advanced 
3-16 cent owing to reduced crop movement. 
The Western leaf tobacco market continues 
active. Prices are higher in the face of the 
good demand. Low grade goods show the 
largest advance. Lugs are % of a cent higher 
on the week. All above lugs are % cent 
higher. 
Wool continues quiet in all the Eastern 
markets, and prices are only steady. Manu¬ 
facturers are buying cautiously for nearby 
requirements. Freight rates from California 
to New York have been advanced to two 
cents per pound on scoured and 1)4 cent on 
greasy wool.
