THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
July 22 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market has shown some weak¬ 
ness during the past week, and has closed 
at somewhat lower prices for both wheat 
and corn, although oats have been some¬ 
what higher. Export sales of wheat have 
been small, and cash sales here were not 
very large. There have been larger sales 
of corn for export as well as for home use, 
and the market is steady although with a 
tendency toward lower prices. Sales of 
oats have been heavy for export and for 
home use. Receipts have not been very 
large. There is little doing in the rye and 
barley market. For corn products, the 
demand has fallen off considerably, prob¬ 
ably due to an overstocked market. There 
is considerable weakness in the butter mar¬ 
ket, although for strictly fancy fresh 
goods, the demand fully equals the supply. 
Sales have not been heavy, and there is 
considerable accumulation. There has 
been some business done by exporters, 
but not enough to clear the market. Of¬ 
ferings of cheese have been light, and as 
the export demand has improved, the feel¬ 
ing is firmer without much advance in 
price. There has been a good trade in 
eggs, although choice stock seems to be 
scarce. Inferior grades are in heavy sup¬ 
ply, and sold for lower prices. Receipts of 
potatoes have been heavy, but the propor¬ 
tion of choice stock is so small that this 
sells at good prices. Some sweet potatoes 
are coming forward from the South, and 
are meeting a good demand. There is a 
good supply of live poultry with only a 
fair demand; dressed poultry has not been 
in very large supply, but the demand has 
been light and trade not active. Large 
spring chickens have been scarce and rule 
firm, but small sizes were plentiful and 
weak. 3% to 4 pounds per pair are about 
the best weights now. Spring geese are 
Beginning to come forward and sell at good 
prices. There is a pretty good market for 
all kinds of domestic fruits, if of good qual¬ 
ity. Strawberries are practically ended, a 
few scattering ones of inferior quality only 
being received. There have been heavy 
supplies of muskmelons, but largely of 
poor quality; those of choice quality sell 
for good prices. There is a glut of water¬ 
melons, and many of them have been sold 
for the freight.

BUS/NESS BITS. 
Evert person who is around cows or 
horses in fly time knows how the animal 
suffers from these little pests. With cows, 
they reduce the flow of milk, and make 
horses fretful and even unsafe. Different 
firms are now putting up preparations of 
one kind or another to kill the flies or 
drive them away from the animals. D. B. 
Smith & Co., Utica, N. Y., have a cattle-fly 
oil and a little sprayer by which they throw 
a fine spray of the oil over the animal. It 
may, also, be thrown on those parts of the 
stable where the flies congregate. This 
treatment is said to be most effective. 
Haying is over, but corn cutting is com¬ 
ing. The hay crop is short, and there is 
more need than ever for saving the corn 
fodder in good condition. Have you enough 
corn to make a corn harvester profitable? 
Probably you and your neighbors have. 
These harvesters are now made so that 
they work as well as wheat binders. The 
McCormick harvester is a good one. It 
binds the corn in neat bundles as fast as 
the horses can walk. The McCormick Har¬ 
vester Co., Chicago, Ill., issue a very neat 
pamphlet in which they tell all about this 
harvester. This is what is known as a ver¬ 
tical binder, and the special advantages 
claimed for it are well explained in this 
pamphlet. Why not let the horses cut the 
corn?
