THE RURAL 
September 15 
new-yorker: 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER.—Supplies of prime stock are 
not heavy, and there is no immediate pros¬ 
pect of a drop from the 22-cent mark. 
There is some accumulation of grades go¬ 
ing at 18 to 20 cents, on account of the 
lack of export business. 
EGGS.—The better grades are firm, but 
there is no material change in price from 
last week. The quality of a large part of 
the receipts is so Irregular that close 
candling is needed. Considerable refriger¬ 
ator stock is being worked out at present. 
DRESSED POULTRY receipts are ex¬ 
cessive, and large shipments are reported 
on the way, so prices have dropped one to 
two cents. Out-of-town orders from Sum¬ 
mer hotels have fallen off, and there is 
not yet any noticeable increase in the local 
demand. 
COTTON is active. The spot market in 
Texas is said to be the highest for 10 years, 
strict middlings having reached the mark 
of 9% cents. Reports from various sections 
of the South state that planters and deal¬ 
ers are excited and look for still higher 
prices. Picking is being greatly hindered 
by heavy rains. 
GRAIN.—The market for cash wheat is 
active. Export trade is good, although 
ocean freights continue very high. Corn 
is weak, and prices are on the decline, on 
account of favorable crop reports. Oats 
are firm, showing no sympathy with the 
drop in corn and wheat. Great damage to 
oats in shock is reported in sections of 
Illinois. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were 8,119 cattle, 
186 cows, 5,601 calves, 38,759 sheep, and 17,820 
hogs. Native steers brought $5 to $5.90; 
stags, $3.17% to $4.05; bulls, $2.65 to $3.75, 
and cows, $1.40 to $3.80. Milch cows sold 
for $30 to $60, one extra bringing $70. The 
calf market was very fair, veals selling at 
$5 to $8.25, and buttermilks, $2.50 to $3.50. 
Sheep brought $2.25 to $4, and lambs, $4.25 
to $6.25.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Farmers who keep a bottle of Gom- 
bau»t's Caustic Balsam in the stable and 
use it on horseflesh when needed always 
report good results. It is one of those 
veterinary remedies that have become 
standard for the ills of horseflesh. 
Trucks bearing several Dowden potato 
diggers frequently pass The R. N.-Y. of¬ 
fice, apparently on their way to the Long 
Island potato growers. This is made by 
the Dowden Mfg. Co., Box 22, Prairie City, 
Iowa. It does good work and saves much 
hard labor. 
The highest awards of both creamery 
and dairymade butter at the State Fair 
at Syracuse were won by butter made with 
the “Alpha-De Laval’’ separator product, 
creamery to Rosemary Creamery, with a 
score of 99, and dairy to G. W. Sisson, with 
a score of 97%. 
Mr. Seton, of the L. B. Seton Co., 13 
Grand Arcade, Cleveland, O., was at the 
Syracuse fair handing out advertising 
buttons of his O. I. C. hogs. He tells us 
he has a large stock of fine hogs. He is 
likely to make considerable trade from 
his advertising in New York State. 
The Mann bone cutters have been before 
R. N.-Y. readers for many years. They 
are made by the F. W. Mann Co., Box 15, 
Milford, Mass. This year they have added 
other poultry specialties. A study of their 
catalogue will repay everyone interested in 
poultry matters. It will be sent if you ask 
for it. 
The low-down Handy wagon is making 
favor for itself in every neighborhood 
where it has been introduced. It is cheaper 
than the high wagon, has broader tires, 
so that it does not rut the roads and 
fields, and on this account, of course, runs 
easier. But the great saving is in the 
labor of loading and unloading. The 
Electric Wheel Co., Quincy, Ill., made the 
one used at Hope Farm. They will be 
glad to send you description of it. 
The National Dairy Machine v-o., New¬ 
ark, N. J., makes a cream separator that 
it shows considerable confidence in. The 
firm ships it on 10 days’ trial, and urges 
persons to whom it is shipped to test it 
thoroughly. If at the end of 10 days it is 
not satisfactory, it is returned to the man¬ 
ufacturers at their expense. Catalogue 
and full particulars of the free trial offer 
will be sent on application. 
Picturesque and Sportsman’s 
Paradise. 
Mount Pocouo, a charming spot in the highest 
part of the Pocono Mountains, from which the 
Delaware Water Gap and the Delaware River 
may be seen, is reached by the Lackawanna 
Railroad. Firs and pines cover the mountain 
sides. The climate is said to be extremely 
healthful. People suffering from asthma or hay 
fever go there. There are several hotels, of 
which the Pocono Mountain House and the 
Wiscasset are perhaps the largest. Dingman’s 
Ferry, in the Delaware Highlands, is about 25 
miles from the Gap, and may be reached by 
stage from Stroudsburg, on the line of the 
D., L. <fc W. The region is picturesque, and much 
frequented by sportsmen. Blooming Grove Park, 
the hunting preserve, is near by.— Adv.
