THE RURAL NEW-YORKER; 
August 4 
MARKETS. 
HE VIE W AND OUTLOOK. 
FLOUR business is at a standstill. The 
decline in wheat has frightened buyers, and 
they are waiting until bottom is touched 
before laying in any stocks. Sales of sev¬ 
eral hundred barrels of rye flour were re¬ 
ported July 26, at a range of $3 to $3.75 per 
barrel. 
BUTTER trade is rather dull. Extra 
creamery is held at 20 cents, but most buy¬ 
ers are not willing to go above 19%. There 
is some export business in grades running 
from 18 cents up. Much of the butter sup¬ 
posed to be extra is showing not-weather 
defects sufficient to maKe it grade as flrscs 
or seconds. 
THE EGG MARKED is in a healthy con¬ 
dition. Top qualities are Arm on account 
of small receipts. Dealers, however, are 
using cold-storage stock, so that prices 
show no advance. Some handlers report 
a surplus of medium qualities. There are 
complaints of the heated state of western 
packings, and some heavy losses are re¬ 
ported. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first four 
days of this week were 7,667 cattle, 219 cows, 
5,517 calves, 31,843 sheep, and 15,656 hogs. 
Steers brought $4.60 to $5.55 per 100 pounds; 
bulls, $2.65 to $3.75, and cows, $2 to $3.75. 
Milch cows with calves sold at $30 to $50. 
Trade in veal calves was active, common to 
prime selling at $5 to $7.25, and buttermilks, 
$3 to $3.50. Sheep sold slowly at $2.50 to 
$4.62Vi, and lambs, $4.62% to $6.65. State hogs 
brought $5.75 to $5.90. 
GRAIN of all kinds is lower. Reports 
from Kentucky state that the yield of 
wheat already thrashed there is above the 
average, and that the mills in Indiana and 
Ohio, where the crops are short, are all 
after Kentucky wheat. Foreign crop ad¬ 
vices from Russia and the Danube region 
are favorable. On account of the rains in 
Kansas, much of the wheat which would 
have been thrashed from the shock, had to 
be stacked. It will be a month or two be¬ 
fore this can be thrashed, as it has to sweat 
out, and thus the market is relieved of one 
depressing feature. Trade in corn is active, 
and speculation in oats nas increased in 
late. But little movement is reported in 
rye and barley.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Don’t forget that resolution to put out a 
strawberry bed this Summer. Elizabeth 
Nursery Co., Elizabeth, N. J., is offering 
the pot-grown plants this week. 
W. R. Boob, Centre Hall, Pa., will fur¬ 
nish new wheels for the old buggy at a sur¬ 
prisingly low figure. It is often cheaper to 
get a new set of these wheels than to have 
old ones repaired by the local wheelwright. 
Nothing quite so good as nature’s drink, 
pure water. If your home is not blessed 
with a flowing spring the next thing to it 
is a good well. A good pump is an essential 
for a well. It is claimed that the Challenge 
pump will purify even bad water, so it is 
unnecessary to say it will keep good water 
good. Soper Bros., Port Jefferson, N. Y., 
are the manufacturers. 
Fruit growers will, we think, welcome 
the convenient picking baskets offered by 
Coles & Company, 109-11 Warren St., New 
York City. Those who have used them 
say they are the best thing of the kind 
they ever saw, and would not be without 
them. For picking peaches, pears and 
apples they are just the thing. Write for 
\Tices and full catalogue. 
Hay for market must be baled, the only 
question is which is the best hay press to 
do the baling . The Eli press, made by Col¬ 
lins Plow Co., 1111 Hampshire St., Quincy, 
Ill., overcomes the objections to some 
others. Anyone interested should write for 
the free catalogue issued by this house. It 
tells all about the Eli press for steam and 
horse power, which range in capacity from 
100 tons to 15 tons per day.

Wheat crop almost a total failure here; 
early potatoes good crop, Bovee the leading 
variety. Oats and corn prospects good; hay 
crop short; apple outlook good at present 
time. j. c. g. 
Wolcottville, Ind. 
Michigan Notes. —Except a short time in 
the Spring, the weather has been wet here. 
Orchards are recovering from severe freeze 
of two years ago, but many trees were 
killed outright. I have 75 acres of orchard 
yet, but some of it young. Have cow peas 
in one orchard, and intend to sow more the 
last of this month for fertilizer and Winter 
covering. We have considerable of the 
root rot in apple trees, but it seems to be 
confined to light land and exposed places 
where there was not sufficient Winter cov¬ 
ering, such, in my opinion, is the result of 
severe freezing. l. j. p. 
Lowell, Mich. 
I took a trip through Virginia, North 
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ar¬ 
kansas and Tennessee last March. The 
cities are building up with cotton mills, 
etc., but to a northern man from one of the 
best counties in the United States, (Stark 
County, Ohio, their farming and tilling of 
the soil look crude and imperfect. My 
impression is that, if the colored people 
were all by themselves in some good south¬ 
ern State, and the balance of that country 
filled up with northern farmers or good 
settlers from Europe, It would be a good 
country. It would be a benefit if the large 
plantations were cut up into small farms. 
p. B. 
New Hampshire Blueberries.—No at¬ 
tempt has ever been made to cultivate the 
blueberry, to my knowledge, in this part 
of the country. The berries grow so 
abundantly that there is no need to cult! 
vate them. The best berries grow on the 
mountains; there are large tracts of dry 
sandy land from which the pine timber has 
been removed, called here pine plains, upon 
which blueberries produce abundantly near 
ly every year, but they do not grow as 
large as on the mountains. There is one 
quite large mountain in an adjoining town 
from which thousands of bushels have 
been picked in the past 40 years, and 1 
think they still grow abundantly there 
The wholesale man establishes his head¬ 
quarters in a camp at the foot of the 
mountain, and the nearby inhabitants, 
many of them, spend their whole time 
picking for several weeks, one person pick¬ 
ing as many as 40 quarts or more per day 
at the height of the season. We are not 
quite sure about the price of late years, 
but think about six or seven cents.
