MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
FRUITS.—Receipts of apples are liberal, 
but trade is very good, and the stock is 
working off well at fair prices. Cranberries 
are in good demand, and dealers are pleased 
with the outlook. 
BEANS.—The demand for marrow, pea 
and medium is fair. Red Kidney are firm, 
some holders refusing to sell at $2.25 per 
bushel. White Kidney and Turtle Soup are 
very dull. California Limas are in de¬ 
mand at $3.50. 
CHEESE.—There is a little export trade, 
and the home demand seems to be increas¬ 
ing. Orders from out-of-town dealers have 
been liberal. With stocks gradually reduc¬ 
ing, the market is in fair shape, and the 
outlook is more favorable 
DRESSED POULTRY.—There is a sur¬ 
plus of poor stock. For the past week 
many of the receipts have been sticky and 
sweaty, owing to the damp foggy weather 
in transit. Fancy poultry in fine condi¬ 
tion is scarce and at a premium. Extra 
western chickens and fowls would bring ex¬ 
treme prices if they were to be had, but the 
bulk of the western stock is urged for sale 
at five to eight cents. 
EGGS.—The market is weak, and lower 
prices are generally looked for. Dealers 
are buying only what they require for im¬ 
mediate use. On Wednesday 1,000 cases of 
limed eggs were received here in transit to 
Great Britain. It is estimated that the 
exports for the week will exceed 4,000 cases. 
There is no surplus of fresh-gathered west¬ 
ern stock. Cold storage eggs are being 
urged for sale at irregular prices. 
BUTTER.—The price is unchanged from 
last week. Receipts have been rather 
large, but there were out-of-town orders 
enough to take the surplus. The greatest 
demand is for extra western creamery. 
Most of the State creamery goods sell at 
24% cents. June creamery is neglected and 
nominal. State dairy of fine quality is 
called for and rather scarce. Imitation 
creamery is dull and going at 22 cents or 
under. Fresh factory and rolls are plenty 
and of slow sale. 
GRAIN.—The wheat market is firm. 
Cables from France state that 20 per cent 
or the crop in the northern part, and five 
per cent in the rest of the wheat belt of 
that country, has been damaged by frost. 
Corn is one-eighth to one-fourth cent 
higher. Oats are active, and there is more 
business than for some time. The export 
trade has been quite an item for the past 
few days. Rye is neglected and nominal. 
There is no export demand, and no offering 
of any importance from this State or the 
West. Clover-seed in Toledo is active at 
an advance of 2% cents.

Milk Supply.— Last week the papers re¬ 
ported a milk famine at Stamford, Conn. 
As usual these reports were badly mixed, 
as the following note from Stamford shows: 
The supply is more abundant than usual 
at this season of the year. Price has ad¬ 
vanced from 2% to three cents wholesale, 
and five cents retail, in Summer, and four 
cents wholesale and six cents retail this 
Winter. This is the first Winter for many 
years that it has been sold for less than 
seven cents retail. I am told that a com¬ 
paratively new peddler who cut the price to 
five cents retail this Winter is getting a 
little tired of that price, and so gave the 
report that has been circulated that milk 
is short and higher that he might raise his 
price. h. l. 
Winter mild; little frost in the ground, 
a great advantage in saving feed. Feeding 
cattle in yards are making splendid gains; 
cattle feeding is heavy over the corn sec¬ 
tion here. Hogs are $4 per 100 pounds at 
shipping stations, with corn under 23 cents 
per bushel at many points; this is creating 
a lively interest in production of pork. 
General public health good over most ot 
the Northwest; prospect for labor being 
high and scarce next Summer. All lines of 
business are enjoying a boom, and there is 
much brisk trading and activity. Land 
values are rising, and going to points be¬ 
yond actual worth, being taken up by 
wealthy farmers for safe investment.

CONSUMPTION CURED. 
An old physician, retired from practice, had placed 
in his hands by an East India missionary the formula 
of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and 
permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Ca¬ 
tarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung Affections; 
also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility 
and all Nervous Complaints. Having tested its 
wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, 
and desiring to relieve human suffering, I will send 
free of charge to all who wish it, this recipe, in Ger¬ 
man, French or English, with full directions for pre¬ 
paring and using. Sent by mall, by addressing, with

A Treatise on Ancient Plowing 
with the wooden plow by a man 75 years old; also 
showing that by the dead flat solid system of once 
plowing for a crop with the metal plows cause poor 
crops and abandoned farms. We have found out 
that by a different system of plowing on our farm 
we can raise four acres of as good corn as cheaply 
as we formerly raised on one acre. Try an acre 
from the book of new ideas, and hereafter don’t let 
prejudice rob any farmer of three extra acres of 
good corn without any extra cost, only fertilizer.
