THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
March 24 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
GRAIN.—Offerings of wheat are small, 
and export trade light. It is reported 
from San Francisco that wheat prospects 
on the Pacific coast are favorable. Corn 
is firm and active. There has been a 
good inquiry for oats. The demand and 
receipts are about even, and thus selling 
pressure is relieved. State rye is scarce, 
and the local market is firm. Buckwheat 
is scarce. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Large arrivals 
l'rom the Southwest caused an increased 
weakness in this already overstocked mar¬ 
ket. Some of the southwestern stock was 
iced, and brought one-half to one cent less 
than dry-packed. The supply of chickens 
4s light. Good capons are selling well. 
Desirable hen turkeys are scarce, most of 
the receipts being coarse and heavy. 
Ducks and geese are dull. 
FRUITS.—Receipts of apples are light, 
and of irregular quality. Cranberries are 
still very scarce. The extreme price of 
Cape Cods has lessened the call for them, 
and increased the demand for the better 
quality of Jerseys. A few western New 
York grapes are coming from cold storage, 
and retail at 15 cents per four-pound 
basket. The quality is inferior. This 
week’s receipts of Florida strawberries 
were unusually fine. 
BUTTER has dropped one cent since last 
report. Supplies are not heavy, but are 
ample for present needs. Light receipts 
are expected for the next few days. There 
was some call for a grade just below fancy 
at 24% cents. There were a number of 
complaints of irregularity in quality of re¬ 
cent-made stock. Fancy State dairy was 
in demand at 24 ceftts. Old butter dropped 
to 23 cents for finest quality. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts at this market 
for the first three days of this week were 
8,221 cattle, 141 cows, 7,214 calves, 17,554 
sheep, 21,619 hogs. Steers sold at $4.70 to 
$5.50, and fat cows $2.15 to $3.60, with a few 
extra choice reaching $3.85. Milch cows 
with calves brought $30 to $50 per head. 
Trade in calves was a little slow. Veals 
ranged from $4 to $7.25; an occasional choice 
one reaching $7.50. Common to prime 
sheep sold for $4.50 to $6, and lambs $6.25 to 
$8.12%. Spring lambs brought $3.50 to $6.50 
per head.

How to Grow Good Fruit. 
The Superintendent of the Lenox 
Sprayer Company of Pittsfield, Massa¬ 
chusetts, has delivered an address before 
the Lenox Horticulture Society, at Len¬ 
ox, Mass. The address bore chiefly upon 
spraying and general culture of orchard 
and field crops, how to do it. do it cheaply 
and good, and how to obtain the most 
profit from your labor in the easiest 
manner. The address is quite lengthy, 
about an hour's talk. Owing to other 
matters ahead of it we cannot publish it 
in this issue. Had this address been 
placed on the market in book form it no 
doubt would have sold at a good price. 
The full address, profusely illustrated, 
in pamphlet form was intended to be 
sent to fruit growers and owners of es¬ 
tates, free for the asking, but to prevent 
imposition by the curious and disinter¬ 
ested, the hook will be sent compli¬ 
mentary to anyone enclosing ten cents 
for postage, to the Lenox Sprayer Com¬ 
pany, 420 West St., Pittsfield, Mass. 
If not more than pleased , return the 
hook to our editor and you will receive your 
ten cents hack
