MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain markets have been dull and 
declining, but late in the week, the market 
rallied somewhat, and closed firmer. Re¬ 
ceipts have decreased, and markets abroad 
have been kept well up. There have been 
some reports of damage to wheat in the 
Northwest, and receipts in western markets 
were fairly good. Export sales haVe been 
small. Corn is steady, but is declining 
somewhat on advices of favorable weather 
and good crop. Sales have been good, 
about equally divided between the export 
and home demand. The oat market has 
followed corn very closely. Rye and barley 
are quiet, with slightly lower prices. The 
butter market is steady, although prices are 
a trifle lower than last week. There has 
been an improvement in export demand, 
and it is estimated that between 3,500 and 
4,000 packages will be sent abroad this 
week. It is likely that with slightly lower 
prices than those now ruling, this export 
trade would be largely increased. Receipts 
of cheese are moderate, and some export 
business has been doing, so that the mar¬ 
ket has been in good shape. Receipts of 
eggs are considerably lighter, but trade is 
quiet and there is little change in prices 
from one week ago. The market is glutted 
with the lower grades, while strictly fancy 
are, as usual, scarce. Receipts of potatoes 
have been only fair, but the market has 
been well supplied. Prices have ruled low. 
The larger part of the receipts from nearby 
are small and poor, the best coming from 
the more southern points. Receipts of 
poultry are moderate for live, but. heavy 
for dressed, and the market is dull. Spring 
chickens are. firm, especially those weigh¬ 
ing 3M> to 4 pounds per pair. The recent 
strike of freight handlers of the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Railroad interfered seriously with 
the delivery of fruits and vegetables, and 
there was large loss in consequence; but 
this is now practically over, and business 
is again in better condition. Of course, 
large quantities of perishable fruits and 
vegetables proved a total loss. There is a 
plentiful supply of apples, but mostly small 
and poor. Le Conte pears are very plenti¬ 
ful; few plums or peaches; cherries about 
finished for the season, as well as currants 
and raspberries. Nearly all vegetables are 
in plentiful supply with the exception of 
cabbages.

BUSINESS BITS. 
How little things do grow. In 1865, Mr. 
Root, of Ohio, captured a swarm of bees, 
and made a hive for them. He found, on 
inquiry, that there were no hives or bee 
supplies of any kind on the market. He 
set to work to supply them. Now a 400- 
horse power plant covers three acres of 
ground, all devoted to the manufacture of 
bees supplies. It is operated by the A. 
1. Root Co., Medina, O. We believe any¬ 
thing in the bee line may be secured there. 
How can any farmer know that he is get¬ 
ting the full value of any product he sells 
from the farm, unless he knows just what 
amount he ships? No matter whether it be 
a bag of grain, a tub of butter, a basket of 
potatoes, a calf or a lamb, he ought to 
know its weight. If you dicker with the 
dealer who is handling and weighing goods 
every day, he is pretty sure to guess closer 
than you without his advantages. If you 
know the market price and have the scales 
right on the farm, the transaction becomes 
a simple one. The price of scales is no 
longer high, as you may know by address¬ 
ing Osgood Scale Co., 103 Central Street,
