THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
TRADE IN EGGS is dull on account of 
the hot weather. Buyers are critical and 
have difficulty in getting a supply of stock 
good enough to suit them. Some lots are 
going into storage simply because there is 
no outlet at any reasonable price. 
MILK PRICES.—At the monthly meet¬ 
ing of the Consolidated Milk Exchange, 
June 26, it was decided that no change 
should be made in the price for the coming 
month. At present it is 2% cents for 
points within the 26-cent freight zone. 
POULTRY.—Receipts of iced fowls are 
quite large and demand only moderately 
active. There is a good call for well- 
grown Spring chickens. The duck maiket 
is slightly improved. Turkeys and squabs 
are very dull. Owing to the hot w r eather 
the retail trade in live poultry is slow, and 
at present buyers have the best of the 
market. 
DRIED FRUITS.—Evaporated apples are 
dull and weak. Also there is but little 
business in sun-dried apples, chops and 
wastes. Sales of evaporated apples for 
October and November delivery are report¬ 
ed at 5% to 5% cents for prime. The 
largest packers, however, are not accepting 
this. Dried small fruits are firm, black¬ 
berries and cherries bringing 14 to 15 cents. 
THE BUTTER MARKET has developed 
a firmer tone, and extras are again at 20 
cents. In spite of the prevailing high 
prices, large quantities have been placed 
in storage. As usual at this time of year 
the retail trade is reporting a falling off in 
the consumptive demand on account of the 
large number of people leaving town for 
the Summer. The steamer Minneapolis, 
which sailed for London June 30, took 8,000 
packages of butter, which had been bought 
on a range of from 18% io 19% cents. 
LIVE STOCK.—Arrivals for the first three 
days of this week were 7,829 cattle, 161 
cows, 10,736 calves, 33,409 sheep, and 17,522 
hogs. The supply of steers was light, sell¬ 
ing at $5 to $5.80 per 100 pounds; oxen, $3.20 
to $5.15; bulls, $2.90 to $4.30, and cows, $2.25 
to $4. Milch cows with calves sold at $35 
to $50. Trade in calves was slow. Veals 
brought $4.50 to $6.50, and buttermilks, 
$3.12% to $3.62%. Sheep and lambs were 
dull. Common to good sheep sold at $3 to 
$4.25, and lambs, $4.50 to $6.25. Prices on 
hogs were $5.65 to $5.80. 
GRAIN.—The drought situation in the 
Northwest is not at all improved. Dis¬ 
patches from North Dakota point to a 
great falling off in the wheat yield. The 
market, however, is not much changed 
from last week. It has wabbled around 
the 90-cent mark, and the indications are 
that this is about as high as it will go, at 
least until there is definite knowledge in 
regard to the shortage. Corn is up about 
one cent, partly on account of the rise in 
wheat, and partly because conditions in 
some parts of the corn section are un¬ 
favorable. _

BUSINESS BIJS. 
Our readers are familiar with the manner 
Ihe Hon. Geo. M. Clark, of Connecticut, 
reclaimed many acres of swamp land, which 
is now the most valuable land on his farm. 
This reclaimed land now cuts from five to 
eight tons of hay per acre. This change 
can only be brougnt about by thorough 
drainage. For drain tile we would refer 
our readers to John H. Jackson, Third 
Ave., Albany, N. Y. He will send you a 
book leiling how to drain, free. 
The writer knows of a case where a lit¬ 
tle lump on a horse’s foot caused by a cut, 
has stopped the sale of a road team at a 
fancy price. Had this cut been properly 
attended to from the start the bunch would 
not have appeared. We have no doubt 
that such a remedy as Kendall’s Spavin 
Cure applied at once would have healed the 
wound without as much as a scar. If you 
write to the manufacturers of this remedy, 
B. J. Kendall & Co., Enosburgh Falls, Vt., 
they will send you A Treatise on the Horse 
Wants, For Sale or Exchange 
Subscribers who have something to sell 
or buy or exchange, new or old, are in¬ 
vited to make their case known in this 
column. Help and Situation Wants will 
also be inserted here. The cost will be 
four cents a word, each insertion; cash 
should accompany the order. This column 
will make and save money for the farmers 
who use it and watch it.

ATTENTION, LAND SEEKERS! 
Why spend valuable time and money looking up 
the West, the land of tornadoes aud grasshoppers, 
that carry death and destruction in their tread, when 
you can buy better land cheaper and nearer home

proved lands or with valuable woods in tracts to suit 
purchaser; vou now buy while it is cheap.

The Electric Wheel Co., of Quincy, Ill., 
make a claim in their new catalogue that 
the farmer who uses the old-style high- 
wheel narrow-tired farm wagon in work 
about the farm is as far behind the times 
as the Filipino who knows nothing better in 
the plow line than the crude implement with 
which they lightly stir the soil. As com¬ 
pared with a high wagon a low wagon will 
make an actual saving to the farmer of 
fully four times its cost in a short time, or 
about $120. It will pay any of our readers 
who want to effect this saving to write to 
the above Company for their new cata¬ 
logue. It contains a great deal of interest¬ 
ing matter and fully illustrates their handy 
wagon engaged in various branches of farm 
work. One man with a Handy wagon will 
do about as much work as two men with a 
high wagon. Whether you intend buying 
or not it will pay you to write to the 
Electric Wheel Co., P. O. Box 88, Quincy, 
111., for their catalogues, and booklet en¬ 
titled Farm Savings.
