THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
September^ 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Prices are hold¬ 
ing up to last week’s high-water mark. In 
some instances slight fractional advances 
are reported. Fowls are about the only 
dull feature. 
POTATOES.—Receipts are heavy and with 
only a moderate consumptive demand, the 
market is weak, although there Is no ma¬ 
terial drop in prices. The conditions for 
sweets are more favorable on account of 
light arrivals. 
GRAIN.—At this writing corn is attract¬ 
ing most attention. The activity is caused 
more by the brisk buying of speculators 
who had sold themselves short than by any 
bad crop reports. Wheat is also tending 
upward. Wet weather in some sections is 
hindering the harvesting. Business in oats 
is light. 
BUTTER continues to climb. Extra 
creamery on account of its scarcity now 
sells at 22 cents. Lower grades are prac¬ 
tically unchanged from last report, and 
seconds and thirds are plentiful enough to 
be dull. Quite a little speculative trade is 
reported in June creamery, dealers buying 
it for storage in anticipation of a further 
shortage of extras. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were: 8,835 cattle; 
181 cows; 6,718 calves; 30,492 sheep, and 18,- 
830 hogs. Steers brought *4.10 to $5.90; oxen 
and stags, $2 to $4.20; bulls, $2.25 to $3.35, and 
cows, $1.40 to $4. Milch cows with calves sold 
for $30 to $50. Calves were in good demand, 
veals bringing $5 to $8.25, and grassers, $2.50 
to $3.50. Common to prime sheep sold at 
$2.50 to $4.25 and lambs, $5 to $7.

tion of milk producers was held at the

ber 6 . Delegates were requested to be 
present from every milk-producing district 
where a factory is located. The object of 
the convention was to decide upon a price 
for the next six months, which shall be 
satisfactory to all milk secuons represent¬ 
ed, and reasonable and just to both pro¬ 
ducer and manufacturer. Districts were 
advised to can local meetings for Septem¬ 
ber 7 or 8 to hear and act upon the reports 
of its delegates. This convention was called 
at the request of leading mik producers.

Probably no man in America has done 
more for the hay industry than P. K. 
Dederick, of Albany, N. Y., the originator 
of the baling process. For 40 years he 
has been making presses and adding im¬ 
provements to them. The firm manufac¬ 
tures a full line of presses, in fact every 
variety for hand, horse or steam power in 
steel cases or wood frames. Its catalogue 
is a complete treatise on the subject. We 
advise our readeis to send to r. K. Ded-

The Havana Metal Wheel Co., of Ha¬ 
vana, 111 ., claims to be the first to make 
steel wheels for farm wagons. This com¬ 
pany was the first to anticipate the wants 
of the farmer in a low-down, broad-tire 
wagon at a low price, and the result is 
that it makes hundreds' of different kinds 
and sizes of metal wheels and 10 different 
kinds of low-down, broad-tire truck wag¬ 
ons. Farmers who do not use a low-down 
truck, or farm wagon with low wheels do 
not know how much hard work on the farm 
can be avoided by it. Write for catalogue 
and prices.

by it have been awarded the gold medal at 
the Baris International Exposition, where 
these separators are now on exhibition. 
This company was also awarded three 
medals and three diplomas of highest merit 
on U. S. separators at the World’s Col¬ 
umbian Exposition in 1893. These awards 
show very plainly the high class of goods 
manufactured by this company, when they

the States of New York and Delaware, is

the competition of August 22. The apples 
and pears arrived in good condition. The 
second shipment went irom New York Au¬ 
gust 29, and contains exhibits of applee and 
pears from the States of Illinois, New 
York and Pennsylvania. The third ship¬ 
ment will leave New York September 12, 
and as now scheduled will contain exhibits 
from the following States: Arkansas, Illi¬ 
nois, Iowa, Kansas, New York and Mis¬ 
souri. The last shipment of the season will

Beans in this section are looking fair 
considering the drought. I was talking the 
other day with a man who travels around 
home, buying fruit, and he thought that 
the bean acreage this year is smaller than 
last. The prices are: Choice Marrows, 
$1.75; Red Kidney, $1.55 per bushel. The 
farmers in this section seem to be going 
into fruit and cabbage. b. m. p.

Free for a Club of Four. 
Here are 44 first-class tools for repair¬ 
ing- shoes, rubber, harness and tinware. 
We are g-oing- to give no arguments why 
you should have them. The reasons and 
uses are apparent to every one. There 
is nothing like mending a hole, putting 
in a stitch, or driving a nail in time. It 
always saves time and money. It often 
saves lives. The price is $2 alone, but 
it need cost you only $1. Send us one 
new subscription with $1, and $1 extra— 
($2 in all) and we will send you the out¬ 
fit complete, or we will send it to you 
free for a club of four yearly subscrip¬ 
tions at SI each 
Gold-Shell Rings. 
Most people like a 
nice ring. We show 
three styles. These are 
made by drawing a 
shell of gold over a rod 
of composition metal. 
They are better and 
will wear longer than 
solid gold rings of a 
low carat. The retail 
price would be from 75 
cents to SI. We will 
send one of these rings 
postpaid as a reward 
for sending one new subscription at SI 
Cut a slip of paper the size of finger and 
send for size.
