THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
July 15 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain markets have been fairly active 
and the decline of the previous week has 
been recovered. Prices generally are firmer 
and higher, especially on wheat and corn, 
for which there has been a good export de¬ 
mand. The market for oats was quiet, 
trading not heavy, and prices well main¬ 
tained; the sales were good, largely for ex¬ 
port. Rye is dull, and the offerings light. 
The barley market is dull, and prices large¬ 
ly nominal. The South African trading for 
corn products has been excellent, and South 
American countries are taking liberal quan¬ 
tities. There is a scarcity of old white 
corn. The hop market has been strength¬ 
ened by reports of unfavorable conditions 
in some parts of the hop belt. The hay 
market is steady in spite of large receipts; 
prices here have been so high recently that 
large shipments have been attracted, and 
but for the Government being such a large 
buyer, the prices would, probably, have 
been considerably lower. The butter mar¬ 
ket maintains a steady tone under slight 
falling off in receipts. The feeling is firm on 
the best grades. The cheese trade is dull, 
and prices have declined somewhat. Re¬ 
ceipts of eggs are heavy, but strictly 
fancy stock is only a small part of these; 
trade is not active, and but few are report¬ 
ed as going into cold storage. Receipts of 
potatoes have been heavy, and the market 
showed weakness. Arrivals of poultry, 
both alive and dressed, are excessive, and 
the market weak. Chicago reports butter 
at ISc., eggs, 12%c.; Philadelphia quotes 
butter at 18% to 19c. and eggs 14%c.; in 
Boston, butter is reported as steady at 19c., 
cheese steady at 8% to 8%c., and eggs 
steady at 1414c. for western and 15c. for 
Michigan. There is a pretty good supply 
of fruit of various kinds, although some 
kinds run rather light; included in the 
latter are apples, plums, peaches and pears. 
A few grapes have arrived, and sell slowly. 
Strawberries are becoming scarce; currants 
are a little firmer and higher. There is a 
plentiful supply of raspberries, huckleber¬ 
ries and blackberries, and a heavy supply 
of muskmelons and watermelons. In some 
vegetables, there is a heavy supply, while 
others are scarce. Squashes, tomatoes, 
cucumbers and corn are plentiful. There 
is a good demand for peas and string beans.

Corn or Sorghum. — I regard cotton-seed 
meal as a dangerous food for breeding 
stock. Oats and peas. Alfalfa and cow peas, 
I would grow if I could, but cannot to ad¬ 
vantage on my soil. Corn is the most 
profitable crop that I can grow, for we can 
use it at almost any stage of growth, and 
if there is a surplus after the silos are filled, 
it can be matured for grain, and the dry 
stalks shredded for feeding or bedding. 
One of my friends, who has charge of a 
large Jersey dairy, claims that sorghum is 
a more satisfactory and profitable crop to 
grow than is corn, that it gives him twice 
as much feeding, contains more nutriment, 
and makes more milk. My experience with 
gluten is that it is a great food to produce 
milk, but that it taints butter; I would not 
advise the use of it where the object is a 
high-class milk for the use of infants or 
invalids. r. f. shannon.
