MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The market this week opened one day late on 
account of the holiday, but prices were higher 
and the movement in grain active. There was 
considerable export buying, and on Wednesday, 
it is said that the record was broken for clearance 
of wheat for European ports, over 800,000 bushels 
being cleared for Europe. The market continued 
active during the week, with little lower prices, 
and at the end of the week, was dull, although 
corn continued active for the export trade. Still, 
clearances of grain were heavy. Chicago quotes 
No. 2 Spring wheat, 6314 to 66c.; No. 2 red wheat, 
71c.; No. 2 corn, 3794c.; No. 2 oats, 27 to 2714c.; 
No. 3 white oats, 2814 to 29c 
Dairy markets have shown little change during 
the week. Receipts of butter are light, and al¬ 
though trade is very quiet, as is usual at this 
season, the light receipts render the market firm. 
Receipts of cheese are light, but exporters are 
showing little more interest, and have taken 
some small lots. In Boston, butter is reported 
firm; Chicago, the same; Philadelphia, steady, 
and in St. Louis, quiet and steady. 
Receipts of dressed poultry are comparatively 
large, and at least 75 per cent of the arrivals 
are more or less out of condition. With the ex¬ 
ception of very fancy turkeys, chickens and 
fowls, demand is moderate, and for the bulk of 
the stock, prices are low. There is a great ac¬ 
cumulation of ducks and geese, and they are 
dull and weak. Poultry has been in heavy re¬ 
ceipt, demand is light and the market weak. 
Strictly fresh eggs are firm and scarce. Prices 
have advanced somewhat with prospect of still 
further advance. 
Receipts of apples are moderate, but trade is 
dull with a tendency toward trifle lower prices. 
Most other fruits are in large supply, and meet 
with a fair demand. In hothouse products, 
mushrooms are dull and weak; fancy tomatoes 
scarce, as are cucumbers and extra fancy let¬ 
tuce. Inferior stuff is hard to sell.

brought down to the lowest notch with the 
Iron Age Pivot Wheel Cultiva¬

quickest and easiest. The wheels, guided by 
the feet, carry the gangs of teeth to right or 
left, as desired Pivots have hardened Steel

or even two teeth. Equipped with one I'tiir 
plows, shields and fallow tooth attachment. 
Does excellent work, even on hillsides or
