THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
April 28 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW ARB OUTLOOK. 
ARRIVALS OF EGGS are ample for pres¬ 
ent wants. Fancy grades are firm, but 
others sell only fairly well. Some prime 
storage stock has been disposed of at 12% 
cents, but the bulk goes at % to % cent 
lower. 
DRESSED POULTRY. — The sticky 
weather has made trade slow and weak¬ 
ened the market. Iced fowls from the 
Southwest are plentiful. Fresh-killed 
capons and turkeys go at irregular prices. 
There is but little call for old ducks and 
geese, and very few Spring ducks arriving. 
FRUITS.—Receipts are light, but on ac¬ 
count of the rainy weather the market 
lacked snap. Refrigerator stock is quite 
well cleaned out. The supply of cran¬ 
berries is light, and there is but little call 
for them. Florida strawberries are plenti¬ 
ful, and some have arrived in such poor 
condition that they did not cover expenses. 
BUTTER.—Extras have dropped three 
cents since last report, and buyers have ob¬ 
tained some high grades for one cent less 
than this. The lower prices have increased 
consumption and improved trade. The best 
quality goods are so cheap now that buyers 
want but little of the lower grades. Imi¬ 
tation creamery is very dull, and factory 
grades drag greatly. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is weak. It was expect¬ 
ed that trade would be brisk after the four 
holidays in Europe, but export inquiries 
were disappointing. Corn has been higher, 
but on free selling in Chicago, prices broke 
one cent. The wet weather West and the 
drop in corn brought down oats. Trade 
was quite active, however, and some ex¬ 
port business was done. There is but lit¬ 
tle business in rye and barley. The 
Kansas crop report makes the acreage of 
Winter wheat 75,000 more than last year.

Fruit Prospects.— In Niagara County 
there is, so far, a good show for fruit, and 
especially peaches. c. a. r. 
Grimes Golden is a fine apple, as grown 
in Ohio, but it does not do nearly so well 
here in western New York. The weather 
keeps very cold, freezes every night, and 
there is lots of snow around, but peach 
buds are all O. K., and trees look fine. We 
hope for a good crop again this year. 
Wheat is also standing the freezing well, 
but we hope for a good rain and warm 
weather soon. J. s. h. 
The New York Commercial says that a 
Brooklyn (N. Y.) company has bought 10 
acres of land near the Dismal Swamp, Va., 
and will erect a plant employing 150 to 200 
hands in the manufacture of tubs and 
buckets from the cedar and juniper which 
abound in the Swamp. 
Change of Crops.— Here in western 
Pennsylvania, like many other sections of 
this country, farmers have had to hustle 
for a new source of revenue. At least this 
will apply to most cases. With the ad¬ 
vent of railroads came western grain and 
meat competition. This had the effect of 
turning the attention of the most progres¬ 
sive and thoughtful farmers in other di¬ 
rections. While the railroads brought com¬ 
petition in the form of western grain and 
meat, they also opened up new industries in 
the vast coal fields of this section, this 
greatly increasing the population and es¬ 
tablishing a good market for truck, such 
as butter, eggs, poultry, potatoes, cabbage, 
and in fact, all manner of vegetables and 
small fruits. Large quantities of apples 
and peaches are consumed in the coal-min¬ 
ing towns of this section, and these wants 
will soon be supplied by our own farmers, if 
one may judge by the quantity of peach 
trees that were planted the last two years. 
Thus grain farming has changed to truck¬ 
ing and fruit growing, as the demands of 
the markets have changed, and grain grow¬ 
ing proved unprofitable. Of course almost 
all our farmers and truckers grow the grain 
consumed on their farms where they have 
land enough to do so, but in many cases 
it can be bought cheaper than grown. This 
is especially true of breadstuffs and if we 
do grow wheat we cannot get flour at our 
local mills fit to make bread for human 
beings, and right here I wish to ask a 
question. Why is it that our local mills 
cannot take good clean eastern-grown 
wheat and make a good grade of flour. 
Many charge our millers with making two 
grades of flour from their wheat, giving 
them the poorer grade and reserving the 
good for their mercantile trade. We are 
not, however, prepared to verify this 
charge. w. p. k.
