THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
July 8 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain markets have not been very 
active, and prices at the close of the week 
show a downward tendency. Trading has 
been light. The foreign markets have been 
reported dull, and damage to the wheat 
crop is reported from the Northwest. Ex¬ 
port sales of wheat have been very light. 
Corn, also, was weaker, receipts large and 
demand light. Export sales were small. 
The oat market was dull, and the demand 
has been light both for domestic and export 
trade. The rye market is quiet, and very 
little doing; almost no trading in barley. 
Receipts of butter have been somewhat 
lighter late in the week, and for the whole 
week, the receipts were less than for the 
previous week. There is not an abundant 
supply of strictly fancy stock, so that the 
tone of the market is strong for this grade. 
Considerable quantities are being put into 
cold storage, which relieves the market 
somewhat. Cheese is easier on the falling 
off in demand and little export trade. 
There has been little change in the egg 
market during the week; strictly fancy 
stock is scarce. The potato market has 
been slightly weaker, although prices show 
little change from one week ago. Receipts 
have been heavy, and there is some accu¬ 
mulation. There is a moderate supply of 
dressed poultry, and the market is strong. 
There is an accumulation of broilers and of 
spring ducks. The live poultry market is 
dull. The supply of asparagus is light, re¬ 
ceipts of cucumbers heavy; there is a 
scarcity of peas and corn, and string beans 
are weak and prices lower; tomatoes are 
plentiful, and some very good stock com¬ 
ing from New Jersey. New apples are in 
market, but most of the arrivals are of 
very poor quality; southern plums are not 
plentiful. Cherries are plentiful with some 
decline in price. There is a good demand 
for currants, and strawberries from west¬ 
ern New York are in fair supply, but most¬ 
ly below prime quality. There is a plentiful 
supply of melons.

THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, NEW YUKK 
$50 Sewing Machine for $19.50. 
WITH ONE YEAR’S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE R. N.-Y., 820. 
We should be sorry if any reader of The R. N.-Y. in any part of the country 
should pay 840 or 850, or even 825 or 830 for a sewing machine. We would be sorry 
because we can send him just as good a machine as is made for 819.50. 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. 
' For 819.50, we will send the machine to 
any subscriber, freight paid to any address 
east of the Rocky Mountains. For 820, 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 81 each, and 815 extra.
