THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
May 26 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Receipts of Iced 
fowls were sufficient for all requirements, 
and liberal shipments are reported on the 
way. A few western broilers are coming 
in. There was a good demand for pairs 
weighing three pounds or more. 
BUTTER.—There is but little change 
since last report, extra creamery remaining 
at 20 cents. Some consignments were re¬ 
ported to be of much better quality, having 
full grass flavor, but there are still a good 
many complaints of inferior goods, which 
have to be disposed of as soon as possible. 
Fancy State dairy in half firkins readily 
brings 19 cents. Choice imitation creamery 
is scarce. 
EGGS.—Trade is somewhat dull. A new 
rule has been adopted on the Exchange 
here, making all sales "loss off,” that is 
all broken eggs are thrown out and two 
cracked eggs count as one. Formerly 
many sales were made "at mark,” which 
meant that the eggs were to be taken as 
they run, unless there were more than 
a dozen damaged in a 30-dozen case, in 
which event the buyer could refuse to take 
them at the price agreed. The receipts 
at present show very irregular quality. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts at this market 
for the first three days of this week were 
7,882 cattle; 140 cows; 12,560 calves; 19,690 
sheep, and 18,544 hogs. Steers sold at $5 
to $5.70; bulls, $3.25 to $4.50, and cows, $2.50 
to $4.25. Milch cows with calves brought 
$30 to $61. Calves are a little lower. Veals 
sold at $4.50 to $6.75, and a few extras at 
$7. Little calves and buttermilks brought 
$3 to $4.50. Nearly all the sheep offered 
were clipped, selling at $4 to $5.50. Clipped 
lambs brought $6 to $7.25; wooled, $7 to $8. 
The hog market was firm, good State stock 
selling at $5.75. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is firm on higher Euro¬ 
pean markets and reports of crop damage 
in the West. The Dakotas are badly in 
need of rain, and the Hessian fly is report¬ 
ed in some sections. Reports from Tenn¬ 
essee are that the crop in that State will 
not be more than 10 bushels per acre, owing 
to the ravages ot the fly. The corn mar¬ 
ket has rallied. The recent weakness was 
apparently caused by the unloading of 
some surplus stocks by speculators. This 
supply has now ceased. Oats are also a 
trifle higher in sympathy with corn and 
wheat. There is no business of import¬ 
ance in rye. Buyers and sellers of barley 
are considerably apart in their ideas of 
values. ____

Maryland Fruit Crop.— We expect the 
crop of small fruits in Caroline County to 
be larger than last year’s. Ridgely and 
Goldsboro are the largest shipping points; 
Ridgely shipped last year 1,237,239 quarts of 
strawberries and blackberries, mostly 
strawberries, and expects to equal if not 
exceed that number this year. Goldsboro 
shipped last year 679,476 quarts of straw¬ 
berries and blackberries, mostly strawber¬ 
ries. We expect a much larger crop at 
Goldsboro this year. I, myself, hope to 
ship 250,000 quarts of strawberries and Lu¬ 
cre tia dewuerries. J. a. d. 
Connecticut Notes.— Farming work here 
is being done about as usual. The weather 
has been good for working, but so cool that 
farmers have been in no hurry to plant. 
Potatoes are about all in. Corn will be 
put in this week. The freeze of last week 
caught but very few; some garden vege¬ 
tables were up, no serious damage done, 
as most of the vegetables were of a kind 
to stand cold weather. Peas, beets, let¬ 
tuce, etc., are looking well. Grass is rather 
backward, and unless we have more rain, 
will be light. Hay is scarce and high. 
Good brings from $15 to $20 per ton. Po¬ 
tatoes are too plentiful for the time of 
year. There is no sale for them, and no 
price, but are about 50 cents a bushel; but¬ 
ter, 25 cents per pound. Eggs are the only 
reliable cash article the year ’round that 
the farmers have. They are now 12 cents 
per dozen, with an expected advance in the 
near future. The Summer people have 
commenced coming here already this sea¬ 
son. The State road is progressing finely 
under the superintendence ot the selectmen.

Successful Fruit Growing. 
The Superintendent of the Lenox 
Sprayer Company, of Pittsfield, Massa¬ 
chusetts, has delivered an address be¬ 
fore the Lenox Horticultural Society 
at Lenox, Mass. The address is almost 
a college education to fruit growers, 
fruit dealers, and in fact to anybody 
eating fruit or even having but few fruit 
trees, or in anyway concerned. Had this 
address been placed on the market in 
hook form, it would no doubt have sold 
at a good price. The full address, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, in pamphlet form, will 
be sent to fruit growers or owners of 
estates, inclosing 50 cents, to the Lenox 
Sprayer Company, 420 West Street, Pitts¬ 
field, Mass. 
Cut this out before you forget. 
Do You Want a Watch? 
75c. 
IF NOT YOUR 
BOY DOES. 
For several years during May we have given our 
hoys 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 
hoys 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 SI.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.
