THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMO OUTLOOK. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—There is a fair 
supply of iced fowls from the Southwest, 
but receipts from other sections are light. 
The demand, however, lacks strength, and 
trade is dull. Heavy weight fowls are of¬ 
fered freely at 8% cents. The best de¬ 
mand now is for broilers and fancy 
chickens. 
EGGS are in quite liberal receipt, but 
fancy qualities show an increasing firmness 
in price. There is some ungraded stock on 
the market, which sells low. Dealers are 
having difficulty in finding enough good 
stock to put out to the best trade without 
recandling. Some of the southwestern con¬ 
signments are showing defects from heat. 
Duck and goose eggs are dull. 
FRUITS.—The receipts of apples are 
light, but little first quality. Strawberries 
have taken a sudden drop. The fruit ar¬ 
rives in fair condition, but the quality is 
not regular. Some of the best brands are 
showing far too much inferior stock. The 
receipts of California cherries are 
ate, but often as much as 40 per cent of the 
fruit is decayed. The first-class hotels 
want fancy sound cherries, but they are 
hard to get from present stocks. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is firm. Duluth reports 
a fair cash demand with prices % to % 
cent up. Rumors of a strike caused some 
anxiety on the part of local dealers, espec¬ 
ially those who had sold themselves short. 
Crop reports from the Northwest are fa¬ 
vorable. The corn situation is weaker. 
Oats are steady and quiet. The buying 
in the West is mainly for export. Re¬ 
ceipts both here and at Chicago are light. 
There is a moderate inquiry for rye, but 
quotations are unchanged. 
BUTTER is two cents per pound higher 
than last reported. Arrivals are unex¬ 
pectedly light. On the Produce Exchange 
one lot of 25 tubs sold at 20% cents, but 
most of the business in extras is at 20 
cents. The rise in price has checked specula¬ 
tive buying, but the wants of the trade seem 
to be sufficient to take about all the offer¬ 
ings. There is a good supply of out-of- 
town orders, and, taking everything into 
consideration the situation is quite favor¬ 
able to the seller.

grinder. A set of knives can be ground 
sharp in 15 minutes, that would take an 
hour on a grindstone. The C. J. Luther 
Co., Port Washington, Wis., offer one at 
a reasonable price in this issue. 
There is no more economical fuel for 
power purposes on the farm than kero¬ 
sene, but few engines are made to con¬ 
sume it. The Mirtz & Weiss engine, we 
understand, is made in two styles, to con¬ 
sume either kerosene or gasoline. Full

"I wish to testify to the treatment you 
prescribed for the heifer. I used every 
means I could think to get her with calf, 
and consider I just wasted time and 
money. I got your treatment of injection, 
with the satisfaction of getting her in calf

“Superintendent for Hon. Jos. H. Choate.” 
In every line of trade there are certain, 
not numerous manufacturers who aim at 
developing their business through giving 
better value than other concerns. In the 
carriage trade the name Walker has 
been recognized by men who know as a 
guarantee of best quality for the money. 
The manufacturers of these vehicles have 
of late opened a department for dealing 
direct with the user. The Edward W. 
Walker Carriage Company, Goshen, Ind., 
are the makers. Write for their catalogue 
and tell them your conditions and needs.

Do You Want a Watch? 
7 IF NOT your 7 »- 
I llUfl BOY DOES. I OCa 
BO Y DOES. 
For several years during May we have given our 
boys a chance to get a new watch. This is the most 
tempting offer ever made them. The watch is full 
size, stem-wind and set, nickel finish, and warranted 
to keep accurate time. It is just the 
kind of watch to stand hard knocks by 
boys or workingmen. For just one 
month, May—no longer, no shorter— 
we will send them to our folks for less 
than they cost by the thousand. Any 
time during May you may send us one 
new subscription, and $1.75, and 15 cents 
extra for postage and registering the 
watch, and we will send you the watch 
and the new rose Ruby Queen to the new 
subscriber. Of course, you get the $1 
for the new subscription, including rose, 
so that the watch will cost you only 
75 cents, besides postage. If not satis¬ 
fied with watch, we will return all the 
money. Now, do not delay until June, and then ask whether we will send the 
watch. We positively will not do so after June 1. We do this to increase our new 
subscriptions for May. If you want a watch, now is the time.
