THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER is on the jump, extras being 3% 
cents above last report. Fresh table 
grades continue scarce, and considerable 
June creamery is being worked out for this 
trade. There is no immediate prospect of 
an increase in supplies, but the effect of 
the high prices will doubtless soon be felt 
in a lessened consumptive demand. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for week end¬ 
ing November 15 were 15,469 cattle, 24H 
cows, 6,140 calves, 53,555 sheep, and 43,928 
lambs. Oxen sold for $3.25; bulls, $2.50 to 
$3.20, and cows, $1.50 to $2.75. Veal calves 
brought $5 to $8.50, and fed calves, $3.50. 
Sheep sold at $2.50 to $4.25 per 100, and 
lambs, $4.75 to $5.85. State hogs brought 
$5.30 to $5.40. 
POTATOES.—The price has run about 
the same for several weeks, and the prob¬ 
abilities are that there will not be any 
material increase until later in the Win¬ 
ter. The eastern crop in many sections fs 
light, but a local shortage does not cut 
much figure in the market, for a slight 
increase in price will draw heavy supplies 
from the West. 
FRUITS.—Receipts of apples are large, 
but with the cool weather trade Improves, 
and prices hold up firmly. Some wine 
grapes have come to hand in such miser¬ 
able shape that they hardly pay charges, 
and many are so moldy that they ought to 
go to the garbage heap. Trade in other 
grapes is slacking up, yet small baskets 
of choice grades are selling well.

How to convert swampy and boggy land 
into fertile and productive soil forms the 
subject matter of a little book entitled 
“Benefits of Drainage and How to Drain,” 
published by John H. Jackson, Albany, N. 
Y. For this work the round agricultural 
drain tile is recommended as the most 
effectual. The book is sent free by tne 
author to any one who lives in the New 
England, Middle, Atlantic, or adjoining 
States. 
There has been much talk lately about 
paints and painting. Many a farm build¬ 
ing needs a new coat even more than its 
owner does. Recognizing the demand for 
low-priced paints manufacturers have put 
on the market successful “cold-water 
paints.” These are as easy to mix as com¬ 
mon whitewash, and, of course, are much 
more durable and useful. One of the best 
is Asbestine, made by the Alden Spare’s 
Son’s Co., Boston, Mass. This is a dry 
powder which is simply mixed with cold 
water—making a fireproof and weather 
proof paint. Look this up. It will pay.
