THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
December 8 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
POTATOES.—Good table grades are 
plenty, but trade is brisk, and supplies 
move quickly. Sweets are doing a little bet¬ 
ter, southern receipts having advanced to 
$1 per barrel. 
BUTTER continues to decline, 25 cents 
being the top price for extras. Grades sell¬ 
ing at 23 to 24 cents are in demand, but 
considerable of the receipts are showing 
cold weather defects, and for these inferior 
goods there is but little call. Imitation 
creamery of good quality is scarce. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the five days 
ending November 28 were: 13,104 cattle, 111 
cows, 3,482 calves, 22,464 sheep, and 20,850 
hogs. Native steers sold at $4.10 to $5.30; 
oxen and stags, $3.25 to $3.90; bulls, $2 to 
$3.25; and cows, $1.20 to $3.60. Milch cows 
with calves brought $25 to $50 per head. 
Veal calves sold at $4.50 to $8.50, and grass- 
ers, $2.25 to $2.75. Sheep brought $2 to $3.80, 
and lambs, $4.50 to $5.75. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is dull at a decline. 
Crop reports from Australia are favorable. 
A corn squeeze in the Chicago market 
made considerable stir among the shorts, 
and November options went up to 51 cents. 
The operator who made the corner made 
private settlement with the shorts later on 
a basis of 50 cents, and when this was an¬ 
nounced the price for November corn in 
Chicago dropped at once to 41 cents. Rye, 
oats and barley are dull.

The Smalley Mfg. Co., Manitowoc, Wis., 
announce reduced prices on their full line 
of implements for 1901. There is nothing 
better than the Smalley line of machines, 
and the reduction in price is due to the 
lower cost of raw material and not in any 
cheapening of the efficiency of the ma¬ 
chines. Catalogue and new prices for the 
asking. 
The “Ice King” is a plow manufactured 
especially for dairymen, farmers, and 
butchers, and sells for an extremely low 
price. It is made by the most celebrated 
makers of fine quality icemen’s tools in 
America. We would recommend that our 
readers write Wm. T. Wood & Co., of Ar¬ 
lington, Mass., who manufacture these 
high grade goods, for their catalogue, 
which will be found to be replete with 
much useful information on this subject. 
For every purpose for which a watch is 
valued—accurate time-keeping, immunity 
from repairs, endurance, mechanical accu¬ 
racy and beauty of finish, Elgin watches 
lead. It is their known supremacy in these 
essential qualities that has won for Elgin 
watches the universal title of “the world’s 
standard.” During the third of a century 
of their manufacture over nine million per¬ 
fected watches have emanated from the 
Elgin factory and found their way into the 
pockets and hearts of the people. A book¬ 
let entitled “The Ways of a Watch” will 
be sent free to all who address the Elgin 
National Watch Co., Elgin, Ill. 
We are pleased to call attention to the 
Scientific Sweep feed mills, which as all¬ 
purpose grinders for the farm and feeder, 
certainly approach perfection. They are 
singularly free from complications of every 
sort, the burrs being easily changed or re¬ 
placed; are easy to adjust, and fast, easy 
grinders. They will crush and grind all 
kinds of single or mixed grain and make 
perfect feed of it. The mills are so con¬ 
structed that they cannot possibly choke 
on any kind of grain from any cause. Any 
of our readers who intend purchasing a 
feed grinder should write The Foos Mfg. 
Co., Springfield, O., for their catalogue R 
before buying.
