NEW-YORKER: 
February 17 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER.—Business Is fair, but the mar¬ 
ket Is less active than a week ago. The 
choicest fresh creamery is firm at the re¬ 
cent advance of 26 cents. Storage and im¬ 
itation creamery are in some request. The 
supply of State dairy Is very light. 
EGGS.—Receipts are heavy, and large lots 
are in transit. With the accumulation of 
stock above the demand for present use, 
prices have fallen two cents on some grades 
since last report. There have been some 
sales of western firsts at 14% cents, and 
southern at 14. Refrigerator eggs show 
less decline than fresh-gathered. There is 
some export trade. 
VEGETABLES.—A large proportion of 
the receipts for the past few days show the 
effect of the cold snap while in transit, and 
the loss is heavy. There Is a fair supply 
of onions, but the quality is Irregular. 
State cabbage is selling as high as $9. 
String beans are lower. Prime Florida let¬ 
tuce commands a high price, but the bulk 
is poor. 
HOPS.—It is estimated that out of a crop 
of 57,000 bales in California, all but 7,000 
have passed out of the growers’ hands. 
Oregon is said to have 40,000 bales left from 
a crop of 85,000. In New York State not 
far from 30,000 bales remain out of a crop 
of 70,000. Values remain about the same, 
the highest quotations being 12% to 13% for 
1899 choice. 
GRAIN.—The wheat market is strong, 
with better export demand. Reports from 
California indicate that there will be an in¬ 
creased acreage of wheat in that State. 
Business in corn is improving, and export¬ 
ers are active. It is reported from Argen¬ 
tina that the intense heat has seriously 
damaged the corn crop in that country. 
There is but little business in rye. Oats 
are quiet, with a fair local trade. Buck¬ 
wheat flour is selling very well, and the 
grain is coming in liberally. 
LIVE STOCK.—For the first three days 
of the current week, the receipts at this 
market were: Cattle, 7,371; cows, 137; calves, 
3,216; sheep, 21,276; hogs, 27,916. Steers sold 
at $4.45 to $5.70, and cows $2 to $3.S0. Dressed 
beef is dull at seven to nine cents. Trade 
in milch cows was brisk, cows with calves 
selling for $35 to $50. Prices of calves have 
dropped 25 cents on nearly all grades. 
Veals sold at $5 to $8.75, and barnyards $3 
to $4. Choice sheep were scarce and sold 
at $4 to $5.80. Extra lambs brought $6.50 
to $7.70. 
The total value of all exports from New 
York for the week ending February 6 was 
$10,981,978.

REASONS Why B Y u 0 y u a s n hou,d “ECLIPSE” SPRAY PUMP 
Because—You must spray if you make a success of fruit growing. 
Because—The common cast iron pumps are a delusion and a nuisance 
when put into actual hard work. 
Because—The “Eclipse" was invented by fruit growers having 300 acres 
in cultivation and have been spraying fifteen years. 
Because—The “ Eclipse ” has won first place in every public contest 
entered in the United States. 
Because—The “ Eclipse ” won first place at the Canadian Government 
Contest of 1896, defeating all the best Canadian and the U. S. makes. 
Because—The leading Government experiment stations of the U. S. and 
Canada pronounce it the best and use it for their own work. 
Because—The leading fruit growers in the country are throwing all 
other makes aside and buying the “ Eclipse. ” 
Because—It has the only reliable successful mechanical agitator ever 
invented. 
Because—We guarantee more hard service for $1.00 invested than any 
other maker furnishes for $2.00. 
Because—We guarantee the “ Eclipse ” to work 50 per cent, easier than 
any other pump doing same amount of work. 
Because—The “Eclipse” No. 3 is positively the only pump that handles all spraying mixtures 
without injury to any of its parts. 
Because— The “ Eclipse ’’ has been on the market four years in nearly every State and several 
foreign countries. Thousands in use, and the total repair list for breakage and worn parts 
does not yet exceed $20.00. We prove every claim. MORRILL & MOBLEY,
