THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
June 16 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
CHEESE.—There is a good supply of 
small sizes, and a few strictly fancy lots 
have sold at 8% cents. Most holders have 
no inclination to urge sales, believing that 
better prices are at hand. The export 
trade was light the first of this week on 
account of the lack of steamer room. 
DRESSED POULTRY is steady and not 
much changed from last report. Large 
broilers are scarce and at a slight premium, 
many dealers being obliged to use frozen 
stock. Iced fowls and eastern ducks are 
plentiful. The supply of live Spring chick¬ 
ens is light, and prices firm. The local de¬ 
mand for live fowls and roosters is good. 
COTTON-SEED OIL is very dull at pres¬ 
ent, and there are no indications of any 
increasing demand in the near future, 
either for foreign or domestic use. Most 
of the product is in the hands of the large 
holders, who are waiting for better market 
conditions, which are expected before the 
new crop comes in. Crude in barrels is now 
quoted at 32 cents; Summer yellow prime, 
35; white, 38, and salad oil, 42 to 43 cents. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first four 
days of this week were 8,952 cattle, 189 
cows, 12,302 calves, 27,042 sheep, and 21,516 
hogs. Steers sold at $4.40 to $5.55 per 100 
pounds; oxen and stags, $3.10 to $5.20; bulls, 
$3 to $4.60, and cows, $2.40 to $4. Milch cows 
with calves brought $25 to $50 per head. 
The demand for calves was active. Veals 
sold at $4.50 to $7, with a few tops at $7.25; 
culls, $3.50 to $4. Trade in sheep was fair, 
common to prime selling at $3.50 to $5; 
lambs, $7.50 to $8.50. 
BUTTER has dropped 1% cent on most 
grades since last week, 19 cents being the 
top price now for extras. The continued 
heavy arrivals have caused a large accu¬ 
mulation in first hands, and dealers be¬ 
came tired of holding so much stock in 
store at a high cost. After the drop, local 
and out-of-town speculators were active, 
and have taken several large lots. Fancy 
imitation creamery is scarce, and not in 
much demand. The supply of fresh factory 
is increasing, and buyers are cautious.

POULTRY—LIVE. 
GRAIN.—June 6 and 7 were busy days in 
the wheat market on account of a rise of 
2% cents per bushel, the greatest change 
in any two days for some time. The cause 
was unfavorable crop reports from Europe 
and this country. The drought in the 
northwest wheat belt continues, and the 
indications are that Ohio will have less 
than one-third of an average crop. Some 
wheat ground has been plowed up and 
planted to corn anu potatoes. Export trade 
in corn is improving. Oats are steady with 
the spot market a trifle higher. Rye and 
barley are dull. A sharp advance in the 
price of flour is expected. A rise of five to 
10 cents on Spring patents has already been 
announced, and a number of mills are hold¬ 
ing their product off the market at present.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Compressed air is the latest improvement 
applied to spray pumps. The pumping is 
done before you start the work. D. B. 
Smith & Co., Utica, N. Y., will be glad to 
give fuller information and price. 
The International Food Co., of Minneapo¬ 
lis, Minn., issues a finely illustrated stock 
book. It gives pictures of some of the 
most famous horses and cattle, and also 
of swine, sheep and poultry. There are 
also essays on feeding stock and histories 
of the breeds. 
Wm. S. Miller, Meyersdale, Pa., offers a 
desirable attachment for thrashing ma¬ 
chines in his Cyclone dust collector. Ho 
also offers women a chance to avoid the 
hot-weather hard work of rubbing on a 
washboard. The Snowflake washer is the 
substitute. Address as above. 
It’s hard work to keep milk sweet this 
hot weather unless properly handled from 
the start. The first step after milking 
should be to run it through a good milk 
cooler. Champion Milk Cooler Co., 39 Rail¬ 
road St., Cortland, N. Y., make an ex¬ 
cellent one. A book, “Milk,” free for the 
asking. 
We assume that the Samson windmill 
was named for the Strong Man, and 
inasmuch as it is manufactured by the 
Storrs Mfg. Co., 502 River St., Freeport, 
111., we feel sure it is worthy of the name. 
This mill has several features found in no 
other windmill, but its great strength and 
durability are the most prominent features. 
Full information by addressing the manu¬ 
facturers as above. 
The day is happily past when the man 
who lives in the country thinks that a jolt- 
wagon is good enough for his riding and 
driving. He now requires when he goes 
out on business or pleasure as good a rig 
as you will find in the cities. But in buy¬ 
ing a carriage or buggy, it is not necessary 
to go in debt or to pay the fancy prices 
that have too often been asked in the past. 
This change has been very largely brought 
about by the Elkhart Carriage & Harness 
Manufacturing Co., of Elkhart, Ind., which 
for 27 yekrs has been manufacturing high- 
grade vehicles and harness and selling di¬ 
rect to users. They save all of the ex¬ 
penses and profits of the dealer, agent and 
middleman. Another extremely popular 
feature of the company’s methods of doing 
business is the fact that purchasers run 
no risk in ordering the goods from a dis¬ 
tance, as they ship with the privilege of 
examining before you pay the bill. If the 
shipment is not satisfactory in every way 
the company orders the goods back and 
pays the freight charges both ways.
