THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
June 10 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market shows little change from 
one week ago. Prices have been slightly higher, 
but speculative manipulation caused a slight 
decline. There Is no question now that there 
will be a great shortage In the wheat crop ever 
a large part of the country, and it is confidently 
predicted that prices will go much higher. Sales 
of wheat for export have been only moderate. 
Trading in corn is dull, and prices have de¬ 
clined. Other grains show little change, and 
the market Is quiet. There have been larger re¬ 
ceipts of hay, and the market haB shown some 
weakness. Receipts of butter have been good, 
but not large for this time of year. Still they 
have been sufficient for all needs, and a consid¬ 
erable quantity has gone into cold storage. 
Speculators have not been active because many 
believe that lower prices will soon prevail. Prom 
the West, the reports indicate a smaller output 
than last year, and the season Is somewhat 
backward. Arrivals of eggs have been very 
heavy, and the advance noted last week cur¬ 
tailed sales, so that there has been a slight de¬ 
cline; still, large quantities are required for 
cold storage, and the market is in good shape. 
The very warm weather has had a bad effect on 
stock from a distance. The cheese market Is 
dull and exporters have done very little business. 
Prices have declined somewhat. Receipts of 
potatoes have been good, but the demand has 
been steady, and the situation shows little 
change from one week ago. Choice qualities of 
old potatoes are held steadily. Sweet potatoes 
are practically out of market. Receipts of poul¬ 
try, both live and dressed, have been very heavy. 
The market has been overstocked, so that it is 
weak, and prices are considerably lower. Choice 
broilers and Spring ducks are In good demand, 
and prices well maintained. In the fruit mar¬ 
ket, strawberries still hold the chief place. Re¬ 
ceipts have been very heavy, and prices ex¬ 
tremely low for a large part of the stock. A 
very small percentage of the receipts will grade 
as fancy, and some of the berries received will 
hardly pay transportation. Watermelons and 
muskmelons are Increasing in supply, while 
huckleberries and blackberries are decreasing 
In price. A few old apples are in market, and 
choice ones bring good prices. California cher¬ 
ries, plums, apricots and peaches are becoming 
more plentiful, while the oranges are practi¬ 
cally all max-keted.

JAPAN FRUITS ON PUGET SOUND 
Near the sea level of the Puget Sound basin, 
by last Winter’s cold, which was a few degrees 
below zero (three to five), the fruit buds of the 
Kieffer and earlier pears were mostly killed, also 
the fruit buds of the Japan plums. The European 
varieties of these fruits were unharmed. The 
fruit buds of the peach came through unscathed, 
also, here. The Burbank plum I like, but the 
cold and frosts of our Springs affect it like the 
curl leaf of the peach. However, none of the 
Japans is at all equal in quality to the fine varie¬ 
ties of the Europeans for domestic use. Mr. Van 
Deman seems to be away off In this respect. The 
finer sorts here, as elsewhere on this coast, are 
grown by the ton, principally for drylng purposes, 
and no coarse, large, or acid fruits of this family 
are desirable. An American variety, such as the 
Lombard, if grown here, would not bring 10 cents 
a ton for any purpose. 
The Garber Is a true type of an Oriental pear; 
it never gets soft or mellow here, and Is a late 
keeper. When I was secretary of our State 
Board of Horticulture (when the same was In 
existence), I was informed by a Japanese that a 
soft or mellow fruit of this family is not thought 
desirable, and that if the European varieties 
were grown in his country, they would invariably 
be used in the hard, green state. j. v c

Writ* for Quotation*. 
A JUNE PRESENT free 
For the month of June, this watch will be given 
absolutely free to any reader who will send 
us a club of 10 new subscriptions for the re¬ 
mainder of this year, at 50 cents each. One 
yearly subscription at 81 will count two. 
This watch is fully warranted to keep good] 
time. Nickel case and movement, jeweled, 
stem wind and set. This is not a clumsy thing, 
commonly called a watch. It is a watch and a 
neat one at that. We want to beat the record 
of new subscriptions for June, hence make the 
above terms for this month only. One or two 
evenings among your neighbors will secure the 
club. The day we receive it, we will send you 
the watch prepaid. 
If the watch does not suit you in every way, 
you may return it and get all your money back. 
But it will suit you. Now is the time to act if you want a nice watch—without 
money—and for little work. THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
T A LK I /V C IT UP. 
OPINIONS ABOUT THE B. N.-Y. 
Of course, you will be able to tell your neighbors your opinion of The R 
N.-Y. But they may say or think you are interested. Well, let them read what 
OTHERS SAY. 
Mr. W. H. Fry. Greenwood, Ind , writes : ‘ Remember, I am a LIFE subscriber. 
Don’t stop it until you are notified that I am under the sod." 
Here is a man from Illinois: “I was well pleased with the Horticultural 
Department during my trial subscription. I like the paper better than I antici¬ 
pated that I should, as I supposed it suited only for eastern people ; but corres¬ 
pondence and information from all parts of the country, and the ability of th& 
writers make it a paper of interest and value to the Middle West, and I shouldi 
judge, all parts of the Union. I am an amateur horticulturist and tester of new 
varieties of fruits, aid find The R. N.-Y. quite as valuable as any western paper.” 
David Emkbick, Illinois. 
“ I hope to get The R. N -Y. forever and forever, as long as the river flows, as 
long as the heart has passions, as long as life has woes ! That is a good while, 
you must admit. Some of your subscribers, I see, brag of the length of time they 
have taken it. Permit me to boast a little of what I am going to do ” 
E. G. Hunt, Beldens, Vt. 
That’s all we are going to give you this time. But if this does not bring them, 
we have more to follow. Now let’s hear from you
