January 13 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
PURS AND SKINS—The market In 
juiet and offerings light. But little change 
is expected until after the London sale, 
the middle of this month. 
GAME.—There is a fair call for heavy 
wild ducks, but lightweights are dull. 
Rabbits are in good request for prime. 
English snipe sell slowly. Choice plover 
are in good demand. 
EGGS.—Reports of light supplies in the 
West strengthened the market; 26 cents 
was freely bid on the Exchange, and prime 
stock could not be had for any less. Some 
of the recent arrivals were damaged by 
frost In transit. The better grades of 
southern show no improvement. Refrig¬ 
erators are firm, and limed eggs dull. 
BUTTER.—Western creamery advanced 
to 29 cents, and, on account of scarcity, 
this price has been easily maintained. 
Cold weather in producing sections has 
made a much firmer feeling. Recent re¬ 
ports show a scanty milk supply. Many 
factories have been unable to produce their 
usual quantities, and some are reported 
closed for the season. Firsts have ready 
sale at 25028 cents, and enough extra June 
creamery was sold at 27 cents to warrant 
the quotation. State dairy is in light re¬ 
ceipt and selling quickly at 27 cents. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is wean at a net decline 
of >4 to % cent. Ohio reports some injury 
to wheat on account of severe cold and 
lack of snow to protect the ground. Ad¬ 
vices from Argentina state that the 
drought, which has caused much anxiety, 
is over, and it is thought that the wheat 
crop is out of danger with the promise of 
being fully equal to last year. Corn is 
firm at a gain of % cent. There has been 
a little export trade in oats, which 
strengthened prices. Local cash prices 
advanced % cent on all grades. Rye is 
quiet, but prices fairly steady on light 
stocks. Buckwheat is firm with prices 
above export limit. Barley is dull. 
During the past year the United States 
Mint at Philadelphia made 122,790,528 coins, 
representing a value of a little over $65,- 
000,000. The total number of gold coins was 
4,669,768; silver, 38,076,384, and 53,600,031 cop¬ 
per cents. T

BUSINESS BITS. 
Jessrs. Loomis & Nyman, Tiffin, Ohio, 
inufacturers of well and shaft digging 
ichines, report a big rush at their fac- 
-y. They think it is due to great im- 
avements during the past few years in 
5 se machines, and their advertising 
rough the newspapers to keep this fact 
sminently before the public, 
is an evidence of the universal interest 
ten in artificial incubation, and the con- 
ence which the whole world places In 
American-made incubators, we refer to an 
order recently received by the Des Moines 
Incubator Co., of Des Moines, Iowa, 
through their New York agents, for a ship¬ 
ment of 14 machines to go to parties in 
Sydney, Australia. 
Readers of The R. N.-Y. have noticed 
the growing interest in weeders of recent 
years. This paper was the first to call 
public attention to them more than a dozen 
years ago. Since that time they have 
steadily grown in popular favor. Of re¬ 
cent years the general interest in them 
has been increased through the popularity 
of the Success weeder, and the liberal ad¬ 
vertising of it by the manufacturers, D. 
Y. Hallock & Sons, York, Pa. 
It has always seemed to us that the 
Wilmington Wheel Company, Wilmington, 
Del., had become real benefactors to the 
farming community. This is because they 
furnish new wheels of any size to fit any 
kind of a wagon. Of course, they do it 
for business. But the greatest strain of 
wagons comes on the wheels, and for this 
reason they will give out first. Repairs 
of wheels are expensive, and for the most 
part unsatisfactory. We refer to the mat¬ 
ter here, because we think it an opportu¬ 
nity for anyone with poor wheels in a 
wagon to be able to get new ones at rea¬ 
sonable cost. 
A prominent business man in New York 
City recently made a public offer of $1,- 
000,000 for the right to use seven letters in 
such order as to spell one particular word. 
This word is the name of a certain brand 
of soap. This simply shows the import¬ 
ance of making a uniform quality of high- 
grade goods and establishing a name and 
a reputation for them. It is what we have 
repeatedly urged farmers to do in the 
manufacture and branding of their prod¬ 
uct. To be successful, tne quality must 
always be maintained. The Stockbridge 
manures is another instance. For nearly 
30 years Mr. W. H. Bowker has main¬ 
tained the high-grade quality of these 
goods. As a result, the trade mark itself 
has a definite commercial value. It is no 
doubt that the value of this trade mark, 
and Mr. Bowker’s personal pride in it is 
responsible for the independence of his 
company from all combination alliances. 
Asthma Gan Be Cured. 
Statement of a Noted Physician. 
The astonishing statement that Asthma 
can be cured, coming from so well-known 
an authority as Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, 
will be of interest to sufferers from 
Asthma, Phthisic and Hay Fever. The 
Doctor’s offer, coming as it does from a 
recognized authority, who during a prac¬ 
tice of over 30 years lias treated and cured 
more cases of Asthma and its kindred 
than any living doctor, is certainly a 
generous one and an innovation in this 
age of countless fraudulent nostrums. 
Believing that the honest way to sell a 
remedy is to let those who would buy 
convince themselves of its merits before 
purchasing, Dr. Schiffmann has author¬ 
ized this paper to say that he will send a 
free trial package of his remedy, “Schiff- 
mann’s Asthma Cure,” to any sufferer 
who sends his name on a postal card be¬ 
fore February 1. This remedy has cured 
thousands of cases that were considered 
incurable. Being used by inhalation, it 
reaches the seat of the disease direct, 
stops the spasm instantly and insures 
sweet and refreshing sleep. A free trial 
package will convince the most skeptical. 
Those desiring to try a free sample 
should address Dr. R. Schiffmann, 273 
Jackson Street, St. Paul, Minn.
