MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market has been very quiet during 
the week, and prices have been steady except on 
wheat, and this has declined slightly in price. 
Export sales of wheat were not very heavy, ar d 
trade was dull. In all other grains, the market 
showed little activity, and sales were compara¬ 
tively light. The market on hay is firm, receipts 
are moderate and the demand fair. There has 
been considerable activity in the butter market, 
but the business done is not large. Prices on the 
best lines are a trifle higher than a week ago. 
The lower grades show little change. Much of 
the creamery butter coming forward is soft and 
not wanted. Cheese has declined considerably 
in price, and under this lower price, there is 
some export demand. A large part of the offer¬ 
ings showed the effects of the heat. Receipts of 
eggs are comparatively light, and strictly fancy 
stock is at a premium. There is little export de¬

mand, and with the quantity in cold storage re¬ 
ported considerably less than usual at this 
season, the prospect is good. Receipts of pota¬ 
toes are plentiful, largely of southern new. Old 
stock no longer cuts any figure in the market. 
Fancy Southern Rose have been selling for $4 per 
barrel. Arrivals of poultry have not been heavy, 
but demand is light, and under some previous 
accumulation, the market was dull. There is a 
fair supply of southern vegetables, but a large 
part of the receipts show the effects of excessive 
heat.

SOME CALIFORNIA NOTES. 
The item about California cherries 
caught my eye in The R. N.-Y. of May 
20, and was eagerly read only to my dis¬ 
appointment in finding that you were 
mistaken about our cherry crop. The 
cherry crop is exceedingly short, not 
more than one-fourth at most of an 
average crop. A few orchards have a 
full cron, and some have practically 
none. Last week, I had picked and 
packed the entire crop on 200 Black 
Tartarian trees, and found just 18 ten- 
pound boxes; an average crop would 
have been 1,000 boxes. 
I have another orchard with a fair 
crop on it, or rather half harvested. We 
had hoped to get something this season 
to make up for the past two years, 
which had been disastrous for cherry 
growers, the net prices per box delivered 
at the depot in San .Tose being less than 
53 cents in ’97 and 43 cents in ’98. The 
cost of picking, packing and delivering a 
box of cherries ready for shipment east 
is close to 30 cents, more or less, as the 
crop is large or small. A very short 
crop is costly to pick. 
The 18 boxes referred to above con¬ 
sumed the time of four men 13^ day, 
equal to six days’ work at $1.35 per day, 
or $8 10, or 45 cents per box Add 15 
cents, the cost of box and packing, and 
we have 00 cents before the cherry ship¬ 
ment starts on its long journey east. 
San Joi6 cherries, as all cherries 
raised in the Santa Clara Valley are 
called, bear a high reputation in the 
East, and they deserve it, but they are 
not always a profitable crop. 
Crop reports are, as we all know, very 
unreliable. The reports that come to us 
here of the damage by frost to peaches 
in the East are made light of by fruit 
growers who ship peaches, the remark 
being that the worse the reports the 
better the crop. This year, we are en¬ 
couraged to think that, perhaps, we 
shall be able to get fair returns for our 
fruit, from the many reports of damage, 
not only to fruit buds, but that many 
trees are killed, but we don't know. 
The early reports of the prune crop in 
this valley estimated an enormous crop. 
After the drop came, which always comes 
a few weeks later, the cry went up that 
no prunes were left on the trees In a 
few locations, this is practically true, 
but from observation, I should estimate 
the crop but little short of last year, say 
5,000,000 or 10,000,000 pounds less. In 
this I may be in error, for the reason 
that, with favorable weather, the in¬ 
creased size of the prunes may partially 
fill the gap between the totals of last 
year and the one before us. 
The weather, so far, has been very 
favorable, and to-day we are enjoying a 
rain that will benefit all later fruits, 
however seriously it may injure cherries 
and the hay crop. The R. N.-Y. still 
holds first place as a farmers’ paper, in 
my estimation. Long may it live 1

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 $1 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.
