THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
January 27 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
HOPS.—There Is but little trading at 
present between city dealers, and sales to 
brewers are light. The highest quotations 
are 12% to 13% for 1899 State choice, with 
common to medium at 5 to 9. 
EGGS.—The supply of strictly fresh- 
gathered is moderate, and for such there is 
a steady market. Lower qualities are 
plenty and of slow sale. Larger receipts 
are expected in the near future. Refriger¬ 
ator goods are urged for sale. There is 
some export to Europe, but it is doubtful 
whether it will continue large enough to 
relieve our overstocked markets here. 
VEGETABLES.—Irish potatoes are in 
moderate demand, and offerings are liberal. 
Stock from Maine is held at a higher price 
than can be obtained at present. Sweets 
are steady. The demand for onions is 
good, but with larger offerings the market 
is generally lower. Kale and spinach are 
a trifle higher. Green peas are of inferior 
quality and sell low. Eggplants are very 
firm. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Fancy chickens 
and fine fowls are scarce and at a pre¬ 
mium, but the supply of medium grades is 
heavy and sales are slow at a wide range 
of prices. Turkeys are dull. The supply 
of capons is fair, but choice are selling well 
at steady prices. Fancy ducks are in de¬ 
mand, but ordinary grades are neglected. 
Geese are plenty and dull. Choice, large 
white tame squabs are in light supply and 
Arm. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is dull and weak. Latest 
advices from Australia and Argentina, 
where wheat harvesting is now in progress, 
state that the yield promises to be good. 
Feeders are taking the bulk of the corn. 
Higher prices for hogs make feeding more 
profitable, and the market can take care 
of itself with less aid from the exporter. 
Rye is quiet with but little export inquiry. 
The mild Winter has made the demand for 
buckwheat flour light and prices are weak. 
The local demand for oats is fair, but the 
lower grades are a little off in price. Tim¬ 
othy seed is a trifle lower, being quoted at 
$2.60 to $3.25. Clover ranges from $6 to $8.65.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Gombault’s Balsam is used by horsemen 
for blistering and removing blemishes. It 
is a good thing to have in the stable for use 
in case of emergency. It is sold by drug¬ 
gists, or sent by Lawrence-Williams Co., 
Cleveland, O. 
Geo. B. Hollyer, superintendent of the 
New York Biscuit Company’s stables, 
writes a strong endorsement of Tuttle’s 
Elixir for use on horseflesh. He says that 
it has never failed him when used for pur¬ 
poses recommended by Dr. Tuttle. 
The P. N. Bowsher Co., South Bend, 
Ind., makers of the Bowsher feed mills, 
employ only the best modern machine- 
shop tools, and turn out nothing but first- 
class machines. They write us that their 
trade is among the best class of progressive 
and discriminating buyers. 
The Iron Age farm and garden imple¬ 
ments are made by the Bateman Mfg. Co., 
Grenloch, N. J. The catalogue issued by 
this firm is a beauty. The various tools 
are well pictured, most of the scenes being 
taken from photographs. The Iron Age 
tools are first class. We have several of 
them in use at Hope Farm, and can there¬ 
fore speak from personal experience. This 
catalogue is well worth a study—something 
more than a mere examination.

How to Drain Land Profitably. 
On every farm there is probably some land 
that could be made more productive by under¬

to drain is ex¬
