THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.' 
May 5 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER.—Trade in creamery, both for 
local demand and out-of-town orders, is 
quite active, and, as receipts have been a 
little short, some dealers have had barely 
enough to meet their needs. On account 
of the lower prices, the consumption has 
increased considerably, and more stock 
than usual is needed to supply the trade. 
State dairy, imitation creamery and fresh 
factory are quiet. 
GRAIN.—The wheat market is in a bet¬ 
ter condition than for several weeks. The 
speculative and export demand are good. 
Sales of 500,000 bushels for the United King¬ 
dom are reported, most of it to be shipped 
from Galveston, Texas. Corn is also 
higher, the price being practically out of 
exporters’ reach. Oats are moderately 
active at an advance. The demand for rye 
is light. 
EGGS.—The market is dull and unsatis¬ 
factory. Buyers are taking only what 
they need for present demands. A recent 
sale on the Produce Exchange was 500 
cases northern Illinois at 12 cents. The 
bulk of the trade has been below this 
figure. The lower grades sell very slowly, 
with prices in buyers’ favor. 
FRUITS.—Apples are meeting a good out¬ 
let, and the market is steady. The va¬ 
rieties most seen are Ben Davis, Baldwin 
and Russet. Strawberries are in light re¬ 
ceipt. The indications are that large quan¬ 
tities from North Carolina will soon be 
here. The quality of most berries is poor, 
showing the effect of wet weather. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were C,243 cattle; 
163 cows, 11,193 calves, 9,005 sheep, and 17,307 
hogs. Most of the cattle were for city 
slaughterers. Steers sold at $4.75 to $5.45; 
oxen, $3.70 to $4.50; bulls, $2.90 to $4.35, and 
cows, $2 to $3.80. Milch cows with calves 
brought $25 to $50 per head. The calf mar¬ 
ket is dull at a decline of 25 cents. Veals 
brought $4 to $G.25, with a few extra at 
$6.50, and small and fed calves, $2.50 to $3. 
Sheep unshorn sold at $5 to $6.25, and clip¬ 
ped sheep, $3.50 to $5.50. Unshorn lambs 
brought $6.75 to $8.25; clipped, $5.25 to $6.90.

Seed Corn.— At the Arkansas Experi¬ 
ment Station seed corn was obtained from 
various parts of the country for testing. 
The samples were divided into three lots— 
northern grown came from north of the 
thirty-eighth parallel, southern grown from 
south of the thirty-fifth parallel, and mid¬ 
dle grown from between the two. It was 
concluded that seed grown in the same or 
nearly the same latitude in which planted 
gives the best yield. z

Can be expanded to 7% feet. Narrowed to 30 inches. 
Points of Superiority over a Straight Frame Weeder. 
It is adjustable both as to depth and width. Can be narrowed

it can he used between the rows, working close to the plants— 
long after straiglit-franie Weeders are set aside. Being 
A-shaped it is not only sti’onger, hut adapts itself much better 
to uneven surface than a straight frame weeder. It has no 
shafts, therefore no horse lost motion, and will not jump. Teeth 
are strong and pliable, and have blunt points, which is im¬ 
portant when working sensitive plants.
