THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
EGGS.—There have been heavy receipts 
of refrigerator stock from western mar¬ 
kets, and on account of the warm weather 
much of this is being urgently offered. An 
improved quality is reported in some of 
the fresh-gathered packings. Candled dir¬ 
ties are selling well. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Trade is not 
active. The receipts for the week have 
been light, but on account of the large 
stocks reported on the way, buyers de¬ 
clined to offer any advance. There is con¬ 
siderable speculative buying of Spring 
chickens for freezing purposes. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is dull. Good rains are 
reported in India, and favorable crop pros¬ 
pects. Corn has advanced. Offerings are 
light, and export business is hampered by 
scarcity of stock for immediate delivery 
here and in the West. Exporters are bid¬ 
ding 68 cents for buckwheat, but none is 
offered, as the mills in the interior are 
taking all they can get at $1 per 100. Specu¬ 
lative trade in oats is light. Barley is 
quiet and strong and rye dull. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first four 
days of this week were 8,212 cattle, 230 cows, 
6,690 calves, 46,537 sheep, and 24,794 hogs. 
Steers sold at $4.25 to $5.65; bulls, $2.60 to 
$4; cows, $1.45 to $3.40. Milch cows with 
calves brought $30 to $50. Calves were 
lower, poor to choice veals selling at $4.50 
to $8.50; a few tops at $8.75; grassers and 
buttermilks, $2.75 to $3.50; and yearlings at 
$2.60. Trade in sheep was sluggish, com¬ 
mon to prime selling at $3 to $4.30, and 
lambs, $4.50 to $5.75.

BUSINESS BITS. 
If you own a horse you ought to write 
the Porter Humane Bridle Company, Dept. 
C. , Sudbury Bldg., Boston, Mass., for par¬ 
ticulars of their Humane bridle. Those 
who think most of the horse are the first 
to use it. 
The Profit farm boiler, manufactured by 
D. R. Sperry & Co., Batavia, Ill., is valu¬ 
able for cooking grain and vegetables for 
live stock and poultry. It is very quickly 
emptied and easily kept in order. This 
firm also makes articles for dairymen, 
laundrymen and for butchers. 
It is not quite fair to let the children 
sleep in a cold upstairs room, while heat 
enough to warm it goes up the chimney. 
The Rochester radiator will arrest the heat 
and warm the room. We know it because 
we use them. Send to the Rochester Ra¬ 
diator Co., 27 Furnace St., Rochester, N. 
Y., for booklet on economy of househeat¬ 
ing. This is the time to do it. It will pay 
you to do it. 
The Convex dishorner, formerly manu¬ 
factured under the firm name, Webster 
& Dickinson, is now made and sold by 
Geo. Webster, Christiana, Pa. Mr. Webster 
has recently purchased his partner's inter¬ 
est, and is now sole owner of the business. 
A branch salesroom has been established 
at Chicago from which western orders will 
be filled. All correspondence, however, will 
be with Christiana as heretofore. Mr. 
Webster is advertising several special ap¬ 
pliances—one a calf dishorner and another 
his Bucker stock holder—a most effective 
aid to proper dishorning. This is one of the 
old houses in this line, and anyone in need 
of the goods will find Mr. Webster’s cata¬ 
logue of interest. It is sent free. 
When one gets hold of a catalogue of 
any make of goods he wants many ques¬ 
tions that are in his mind answered in de¬ 
tail. Many catalogues fail in this. They 
are confined to generalities. An exception 
to this rule is found, we think, in the 
vehicle catalogue of the Marvin Smith 
Company, of Chicago. If they have failed 
in any particular to give the most minute 
and detailed description of all material 
and every part entering into the manufac¬ 
ture and construction of their vehicles, it 
has escaped our attention. They go much 
beyond this in the fact that they guaran¬ 
tee in the strongest possible way every 
vehicle which they sell. If you send for 
their catalogue, we think you will notice 
this feature. 
A CURE FOR ASTHMA. 
Asthma suffers need no longer leave home and 
business in order to be cured. Nature has pro¬ 
duced a vegetable remedy that will permanently 
cure Asthma and all diseases of the lungs and 
bronchial tubes. Having tested its wonderful 
curative powers in thousands of cases {with a 
record of 90 per cent, permanently cured ), and 
desiring to relieve human suffering, I will send 
free of charge to all sufferers from Asthma, Con¬ 
sumption, Catarrh, Bronchitis and nervous dis¬ 
eases, this recipe, in German, French or English, 
with full directions for preparing and using. Sent
