THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
November 3 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
THE EGG MARKET is depressed. The 
local demand has dropped materially, and 
the result has been an accumulation ot 
even the better grades, with a decided 
weakness in the lower qualities. 
BUTTER.—The local and jobbing de¬ 
mands have improved, though price re¬ 
mains the same as at last report. The 
movement of June creamery is very light. 
The quality of the State dairy arriving is 
so irregular that a wide range of quota¬ 
tions is given. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Fancy chickens 
are firm, but the price remains unchanged. 
There is a surplus of medium fowls, and 
they are weak at the prices quoted. The 
outlook for eastern ducks is more favor¬ 
able, and they have advanced one or two 
cents. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for week ending 
October 25 were 13,671 cattle, 249 cows, 5,261 
calves, 58,966 sheep, and 36,971 hogs. Steers 
sold at $4.80 to $5.60 per 100 pounds; stags, 
$4.75; bulls, $2.40 to $3.75, and cows, $1.50 to 
$3.75. Veal calves brought $6 to $8.50; com¬ 
mon grassers, $2.40, and fed calves, $4. 
Sheep and lambs were dulL Common to 
good sheep sold at $2 to $4, and lambs, $4.50 
to $5.50. State hogs averaging 150 to 200 
pounds brought $5.30.

SINCE THE STORM and change of 
weather, say Archdeacon & Co., trade has 
been practically dead, in consequence of 
farmers (making haste to remove their 
crops from the expected cold. Of course, 
the light supply has caused the market to 
be somewhat stronger. There is plenty of 
poor fruit, but good stock of any kind is 
scarce and wanted. Trade on Saturday is 
early and soon over. Many shippers think 
that, as they go to their home markets on 
Saturday, people in large cities do the 
same, but this it not so. Buyers are with 
us all the week, and do very little on Sat¬ 
urday, because they wish to clean up the 
odds and ends and begin fresh Monday. 
Hence we advise shippers not to make 
consignments that would reach this mar¬ 
ket on Saturday. 
CATARRH CAN BE CURED. 
Catnrrh is a kindred ailment of Consumption, 
long considered incurable ; and yet there is one 
remedy that will positively cure catarrh in any 
of its stages. For many years this remedy was used 
by the late Dr. Stevens, a widely noted authority 
on all diseases of the throat and lungs. Having 
tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands 
of cases, and desiring to relieve human suffering, 
I will send free of charge to all sufferers from Ca¬ 
tarrh, Asthma,Consumption and nervous diseases, 
this recipe,in German, French or English, with full 
directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail 
by addressing, with stamp, naming this paper, 
W. A. Noyes, 835 Powers Block, Rochester, N. Y. 
BUSINESS BITS. 
One of the very best grinders made for 
general farm purposes is the New Holland 
cob and feed mill, made and sold direct 
to farmers, by the New Holland (Fa.) Ma¬ 
chine Works. Write them for catalogue. 
They guarantee the mill and offer it at a 
very attractive price. 
Many of our readers know and have 
used the Manila incubator which hah had 
a most successful record extending over 
more than 12 seasons. During the last year 
the company has removed to Rose Hill, 
N. Y., has built a large and completely 
equipped factory and is out for business 
in earnest. Mr. Blackman, the inventor, 
is associated with the present company, of 
which Mr. W. E. Mills is secretary. Write 
the Manila Incubator Company, at Rose 
Hill, N. Y., for catalogue before buying 
an incubator. 
Many of our readers are using the fold¬ 
ing sawing machine, which is manufac¬ 
tured and sold exclusively by the Folding 
Sawing Machine Co., 55-59 Jefferson St., 
Chicago, 111. If it were not entirely satis¬ 
factory we should have heard something 
to that effect long ago. It is designed to 
take the place of the old back-breaking 
cross-cut saw, and saves the time of the 
extra man. Nine cords of wood have been 
cut in 10 hours with it. Write to the ad¬ 
dress above for illustrated catalogue and 
testimonials. 
The strike of the coal miners of Penn¬ 
sylvania has materially advanced the price 
of coal, and it is doubtful whether the old 
prices will prevail for the coming Winter. 
This is ail the more reason why no fuel 
should be wasted this Winter. The 
Rochester Radiator attached to your stove 
pipe saves the heat that otherwise goes to 
waste up the chimney and can be utilized 
to heat an extra room. This radiator 
received the award at the Paris Ex¬ 
position. Write to Rochester Radiator Co., 
27 Furnace St., Rochester, N. Y., and they 
may show you how to save half your coal 
bill. 
The Staver Carriage Company, of Chi¬ 
cago, Ill., as many of our readers know, 
does not devote all of its time or factory 
to the making of buggies and carriages. 
It manufactures also the Buckeye feed 
mills and power combined. Like all the 
Staver product, these mills are of excellent 
quality, combining in a high degree the 
desirable features of capacity, fastness, de¬ 
sirability, adaptability, etc. Then too, 
there is the added advantage of having a 
power to be utilized for other purposes at 
the same time the mill is grinding. If in¬ 
terested in feed mills, write this firm for 
catalogue. 
Wherever we go we find gas and gaso¬ 
line engines furnishing power on farms. 
These compact, powerful engines are safe, 
strong and practically automatic, so that 
any man of fair sense can operate them. 
They occupy but little space, and what is 
better, do not require a big shed for bulky 
fuel. Last week A. I. Loop told us how 
his portable engine is operated and how 
useful it is. In many ways this is the 
ideal farm power. The Charter Gas En¬ 
gine Co., Sterling, Ill., issue a catalogue 
that tells all about the principle on which 
these engines operate. Send for this cata¬ 
logue—it is very interesting. 
Notice to Apple Shippers. 
Our storage capacity having been so 
much enlarged has greatly increased 
our business, and necessitates our carry¬ 
ing larger supplies. We ask for ship¬ 
ments or PRICES on APPLES. Send 
sample barrel of each variety, so we may 
know the quality and manner of pack¬ 
ing. These will be sold and accounted 
to jrnu, and we will then endeavor to 
buy or handle your entire crop.
