Among the Marketmen. 
WHAT / SEE AND HEAR. 
California Cherries. —Small quan¬ 
tities of California cherries have been 
sold at intervals during the past week 
or two. Prices received have been very 
satisfactory. Here are some of the quo¬ 
tations : Royal Anne, $4 to $6 50 per 
box ; Black Tartarian, $2 50 to $5 ; Cen¬ 
tennial, $3.12%. This fruit will prob¬ 
ably come in in large quantities within 
a very few days, as the crop is said to be 
being that the holders have all been try¬ 
ing to force sales, and prices have been 
knocked away down. Buyers will not 
take hold now except for just enough to 
supply their immediate needs. The situ¬ 
ation is not encouraging, and is not 
likely to improve materially Even for 
choice Maine Hebron and Rose, suitable 
for seed, the price has declined, and seed 
potatoes can be bought now much 
cheaper than at any other time this 
season. 
i t t 
Hay Contracts. —Many of the hay 
dealers in the City are doing consider¬ 
able wondering over the matter of Gov¬ 
ernment hay contracts. Within the past 
few days, contracts have been let here 
by the Government, to furnish something 
over 3,500,000 pounds of No. 1 Timothy 
hay. The contracts were let at prices 
from 2% to 16% cents per 100 pounds 
less than that quality of bay is selling 
for now in the market. Hay is higher 
here now than it has been before for 
many months, and the contractors may 
not have anticipated this rise when they 
made their bids. At any rate, it will be 
impossible for them to fill the contracts 
without loss at the prices at which their 
bids were made. 
t t t 
Bad Bean Business. — Southern 
beans can be bought now for almost any 
price, and they are almost any kind of 
beans at that. One dealer said he had 
green beans, yellow beans, wax beans 
and rubber beans, the last being go dry 
and tough that one might about as well 
try to chew rubber as to eat them. One 
firm had over 1,000 baskets that had 
been turned over to them by the express 
Wants, For Sale or Exchange. 
Subscribers who have something to sell or buy or 
exchange, new or old, are invited to make their case 
known in this column. Help and Situation Wants 
will also he inserted here. The cost will be four cents 
a word, each insertion; cash should accompany the 
order. This column will make and save money for

companies for sale, as the consignees 
had refused to accept them. They said 
that, for some of them, they could get 
enough to pay the charges, for others 
half enough, and for some they could 
not get anything. Still, this commis¬ 
sion firm said that there are no more 
beans in the market than the market 
would take at good prices if they bad 
all been in good condition ; but many of 
them were too ripe when picked and as 
a result, were worthless for string beans. 
Seed beans were so scarce and high that 
everybody seemed to think there was 
going to be a shortage in the bean crop, 
and planted everything that could be 
obtained. The result, so far as this mar¬ 
ket is concerned, is disastrous, but the 
fault seems to be largely that of the 
growers and shippers. It is useless to 
ship such products such long distances 
unless they are of the very best quality. 
These beans are from Florida, Alabama, 
Charleston and Savannah largely, f h v.

Bed Bananas. —A few weeks ago I 
mentioned in this column the receipt of 
a few bunches of this fruit, the first in 
several years. Four more bunches have 
arrived from Jamaica, and sold at auc¬ 
tion at from $3.87% to $7 per bunch. 
This is an extremely high price when 
the ordinary yellow bananas can be 
bought in the neighborhood of $1 per 
bunch at wholesale. If the supply were 
very largely increased, of course these 
prices would be very considerably cut 
down. 
t t t 
A Drop in Potatoes —The potato 
market has taken a big drop this week. 
The receipts have been heavy, and the 
market is glutted with old potatoes. 
There have been importations of Scotch 
and German potatoes, and receipts from 
Florida have been liberal. A great

there has been a demand for, the result 
We should be sorry if any reader of The R. N.-Y. in any part of the country 
should pay $40 or $50, or even $25 or $30 for a sewing machine. We would be sorry 
because we can send him just as good a machine as is made for $19.50. The finish 
and appearance and attachments are in 
every way equal to the best machines 
made. We will send it ON TRIAL, freight 
paid, and you may return it at our ex¬ 
pense, if you are not satisfied; you shall 
be the judge yourself. We shall sell them 
at this price only to subscribers. We have 
sold thousands of these machines to sub¬ 
scribers, and we have never had one re¬ 
turned. Several families in connection 
with The R. N.-Y. have them ; that is why 
we can praise them so highly. 
ITor $19.50, we will send the machine to 
any subscriber, freight paid to any address 
east of the Rocky Mountains. For $20, we 
include a year’s subscription. After a fair 
trial, we will return the money and pay 
freight both ways, if you are not satisfied. 
We will send it for a club of 10 subscriptions at $1 each, and $15 extra.
