THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
EGGS.—Trade is good, the most activity 
being in the top qualities. There is a fair 
inquiry for southwestern eggs at 12 cents. 
Complaints of hot weather defects are nu¬ 
merous, and heavy losses are reported on 
some shipments. 
POULTRY.—Live ducks are scarce, but 
the supply of fowls and chickens is exces¬ 
sive at present, and prices are on the de¬ 
cline. There is also a surplus of dressed 
Spring chickens. Receipts of fowls are not 
large, but the local demand is light. Frozen 
poultry is selling slowly. 
VEGETABLES.—Trade in potatoes is not 
active, and shipments from Long Island 
and Jersey are heavy, so that the market 
is weaker. Large sweet corn is selling well. 
There is a surplus of peppers, cucumbers 
and egg plants. Receipts of cabbage and 
turnips are light. There is an active move¬ 
ment in tomatoes. 
BUTTER.—Business continues steady 
with no specially new features. Exporters 
are looking for creamery at 18 cents or a 
fraction over. But little choice State dairy 
is coming in. For firsts 19 cents is extreme. 
The dry weather is considered responsible 
for the poor quality of many recent re¬ 
ceipts. The usual shrinkage in receipts 
from the West at this season of the year 
is apparent. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were 6,663 cattle, 
267 cows, 7,407 calves, 26,057 sheep, and 17,325 
hogs. Fair to choice native steers brought 
$4.65 to $5.90; bulls, $2.75 to $4.10, and cows, 
$1.95 to $4.20. Milch cows with calves sold 
at $25 to $57 per head. Veal calves brought 
$4.50 to $7, and buttermilks, $3 to $3.50. 
Prices realized for sheep were $3 to $4.75, 
and lambs, $4.70 to $7.10, with culls at $4 
to $4.50. State hogs brought $5 to $5.80.

BUSINESS BITS. 
The Osgood Scale Co., Binghamton, N. 
Y., have just issued a pretty booklet illus¬ 
trating and describing their full line of 
scales. Every farmer needs a scale. The 
booklet will be sent free to those asking 
for it. 
The McCormick Harvesting Machine Co., 
of Chicago, has just received word from 
Paris that the gold medal and 200 francs, 
the single highest award for binders, was 
won by the McCormick machines at the 
field trial at Coulommiers on July 19, 
against all comers. This is the greatest 
and most important trial held in France 
during the Exposition year. 
When you answer advertisements you 
will confer a favor on both the advertiser 
and the paper by referring to The R. N.-Y. 
This will also result to your advantage. 
These notes are intended to call attention 
of readers to some special feature of ad¬ 
vertised goods, for the mutual benefit of 
reader and advertiser. They are never paid 
for and no paid notice has been or will be 
inserted here. 
Fence manufacturers have been having 
trouble for the past year in getting ma¬ 
terial from mills. The trusts seem to have 
had the whip hand and the fence men have 
had to pay higher prices and wait for goods 
besides. The Page Woven Wire Fence Co., 
Adrian, Mich., has now got over the 
trouble by putting up furnaces of its own. 
The company now makes its own rods, 
wires and staples, and does its own gal¬ 
vanizing, expecting now to catch up with 
back orders, and fill all new orders prompt¬ 
ly. Catalogues will be sent for the asking. 
As seed time approaches you will begin 
to feel an interest in grain drills. Taking 
one year with another, and all sections 
into consideration we doubt whether any 
other one drill has maintained the popu¬ 
larity enjoyed by the Buckeye. Here are 
some of the points that are claimed for it: 
It is made with a steel frame of square 
steel tubing, light and compact. The axle 
is of cold rolled steel and both ground 
wheels are “drivers,” so that it always re¬ 
volves, thus keeping the seeding device al¬ 
ways in operation. It has a “double run” 
positive force feed, which is easily and 
accurately regulated. The manufacturers 
are P. P. Mast & Co., 9 Canal St., Spring- 
field, O. They will give you more detailed 
information about it if you are interested.

Write your name with kindness, love 
and mercy, on the hearts of those you as¬ 
sociate with, and you will never be for¬ 
gotten.—Arkansas Cultivator. 
Arkansas Cultivator says that there 
are three kinds of people in the world—the 
wills, the won’ts and the can’ts. The first 
accomplish everything; the second oppose 
everything, and the third fail in everything. 
In future, sheep exhibited at English 
cattle shows are not to have their wool 
colored in any way. Heretofore, judges’ de¬ 
cisions have often been influenced strongly 
by the skill of "improvers.” who “make 
up” the animals with wonderful ability. 
Here is the Farmer’s Guide man’s ex¬ 
perience with tobacco: “How easy it is to 
learn to chew tobacco. We learned it in 
one afternoon when we were setting up 
corn for the hired man. When he was at 
the other end of the field we took a chew 
of his dog-leg plug we knew was in his 
coat pocket on the fence. We had the 
ague for four days and haven't taken a 
chew since. We didn’t taper off from the 
habit either. We just quit and stayed quit. 
When now we hear men say they can’t 
quit the bad habit, we don’t believe i 
We quit and quit quickly.”
