THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
June 30 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW HMD OUTLOOK. 
A BIG SHIPMENT.—A steamer sailing 
from Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 20, for 
France, took GOO tons of lobsters, valued 
at $250,000. 
HIGH-GRADE EGGS are scarce, and 
there is a slight advance on stock of this 
sort. Lower qualities are going slowly. 
On June 20, 50 cases of northern Iowas sold 
on the Exchange at 15% cents, but this is 
extreme, and the bulk of the trade ranges 
between 13 and 14% cents. 
POULTRY.—Prime dressed fowls ad¬ 
vanced to 10 cents for dry-picked and 9% 
for scalded. The supply of eastern ducks 
is excessive, the best being offered at 11% 
to 12 cents. Western broilers are scarce. 
The market for live poultry is weak, ex¬ 
cept on Spring chickens, which are scarce. 
BUTTER of most grades is one-half cent 
higher than last week. Dealers do not 
seem to have any trouble to dispose of all 
that is coming in of the better quality, but 
exporters are holding off for the present. 
A general opinion among speculators is 
that the present prices will continue dur¬ 
ing the month. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first four 
days of this week were 8,294 cattle, 206 
cows, 11,909 calves, 32,G15 sheep, and 16,123 
hogs. Steers brought $4.60 to $5.75; oxen, 
$4.25 to 5.75; bulls, $3 to $4.50, and cows, $2.25 
to $4.05. Milch cows with calves sold at $30 
to $50. Veal calves were dull, bringing 
$4.50 to $7, and lower grades, $2.50 to $4. 
Prime sheep brought $3.50 to $5.10, with a 
carload of choice wethers at $5.25, and 
lambs, $5.50 to $7.70. 
GRAIN.—On account of the excitement 
in wheat, nearly all other grain has ad¬ 
vanced. The reports on the corn crop are 
favorable, and business is light at the in¬ 
creased price. There is considerable buy¬ 
ing of oats for September delivery. Trade 
in rye and barley is dull, but few export 
orders being reported. Flaxseed is up, a 
large part of the fiax-growing section in the 
Northwest now being affected by drought. 
The United States Consul at Rotterdam, 
Holland, writes that there is a scarcity of 
linseed in Europe and Asia, and that he 
has had several inquiries from Europeans 
who wish to correspond with American 
dealers.

We are in receipt of a very full catalogue

The one article particularly seasonable 
now is the milk cooler, but this house can

Good goods, too, and at prices that are

The E. W. Ross Co., of Springfield, O., is 
celebrating this year its fiftieth year in 
business, which is certainly evidence of the 
stability of the house and that the Ross 
line of silage and fodder cutters and shred¬

any of our readers are interested in this 
line of business they can obtain for the 
asking catalogue of their goods, also book 
on silage, giving full particulars regarding 
the erection of silos and preparation of this 
class of goods, ana extend to their friends 
the benefit of their experience and knowl¬ 
edge on this subject. 
SOUTH DAKOTA NOTES. 
It will be five weeks to-night (June 10) 
since rain enough fell here to do any 
perceptible good. Several showers and 
sprinkles, but I don’t think over one-half 
inch of water fell in all of that time. 
There are no indications for rain in the 
near future. There were a few places of 
small area where some of these showers 
were much heavier than with me; then 
there were others where they did not get 
so much rain. Some fields of small grain 
are entirely ruined now, while others look 
fairly well, and will be able to hold out a 
week or 10 days longer. Early-planted corn 
and potatoes are looking well; potatoes set¬ 
ting. Some people are getting the blues, 
and everybody has the blews and have had 
them for a week or more, and still coming. 
When you plant sulphured potatoes again 
just sprinkle them with a little water and 
they won’t hurt your eyes. 
We sympathize with you people who have 
to spend so much money for horseshoeing. 
I only have three horses, aged seven, nine 
and 11. They have never had a shoe on 
their feet, and they traveled on the road 
last Winter from 40 to 70 miles every week. 
One of them goes now five miles to the 
creamery every day, besides considerable 
other running around. Here wild sod 
turned over in the Fall is considered worth¬ 
less for crops for several years. Our sod 
should be broken before July 10 to be at its 
best, and not much if any before June 1. 
It probably is different with tame grass. 
Many farms are being sold this Spring; 
price ranging from $650 to $2,000 per quarter 
section (160 acres); mostly $1,200 to $l,50u 
unless near town; $650 for raw or wild land 
five or six miles out of town. Plum crop 
good; apples said to be full where there are 
trees of bearing size. Gardens looking 
well. We had a frost June 2, but it did no 
damage. w. H. H.
