THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market has been dull during 
the week, and prices have declined some¬ 
what. The tendency seems to be towards 
still further weakness. Export sales of 
wheat were very light. There is a good 
export trade in corn, but the market was 
influenced partly by estimates of a large 
crop and favorable weather throughout the 
corn belt. The market for oats is quiet, 
though the export demand seems good. 
Rye is very dull and weak, and the barley 
market shows little activity. The market 
for beans is dull excepting for Red Kid¬ 
neys and Limas. There seems to be an ab¬ 
sence of export demand. Receipts of butter 
are moderate, but the demand is light, and 
the market remains quiet at slightly lower 
prices. The quality of the butter is re¬ 
ported to be a little "off,” and this cuts 
prices, many times. State dairy butter is 
neglected unless of very fine quality, and 
the quantity of this is small. Receipts of 
cheese have been larger, although there is 
said to be a shortage of large full cream. 
The market for this is very strong. The 
market, taken together, seems to be in good 
shape and (irm. Receipts of eggs have 
been light, but for ordinary grades, the 
market is growing worse instead of better. 
For strictly fancy, fresh eggs, the demand 
is good at full prices. A great many of the 
receipts of candled and storage eggs are 
“off” in quality. Receipts of fruits have 
been good, but many have arrived in poor 
condition. Choice, large, fine apples, well 
packed, are in light supply, and there is a 
good demand for such. Choice pears also 
meet a good demand. There is quite a de¬ 
mand for good peaches, but grapes are dull 
and irregular. For the smaller fruits, there 
is a good demand for those of choice qual¬ 
ity, but these are not plentiful. In vege¬ 
tables, onions are not plentiful, except for 
potato onions from the South, which are 
dragging. Tomatoes are in liberal supply, 
mostly defective. Green peas have been in 
large supply from western New York, and 
the price has gone down. Other vegetables 
are quiet and in fair supply. For strictly 
choice potatoes, the market is steady, but 
offerings of such are light. A large part 
of those from Jersey and Long Island are 
defective. Southern stock has declined 
about to the point of demoralization, and 
prices have gone very low. Poultry has 
been in fair supply, fully equal to the de¬ 
mand. For good, large chickens, there is 
a good demand.

Those farmers who do not get the results 
from stable manure that they expect, would 
do well to write The Kemp & Burpee Mfg. 
Co., Syracuse, N. Y., for a copy of their 
little book on The Problem of Fertility. 
They send it free because it advertises the 
Kemp manure spreader, but it is none the 
less valuable on that account. The value 
of the spreader itself has long been estab¬ 
lished. 
Practically all the hay now going to 
New Y'ork and similar markets is baled. 
It pays to have the bales evenly pressed 
and neat in appearance. The untidy bales 
go begging for buyers, even when the 
quality of the hay itself may be as good 
as, or even better than, that which sells 
promptly in the better form. One of the 
essentials to good baling is a good press. 
This is furnished by P. K. Dederick’s Sons, 
Albany, N. Y r . Mr. Dederick was the origi¬ 
nal inventor of the baling press, and has 
steadily improved his press. But his cata¬ 
logue will tell all about it if you are in¬ 
terested.

A Great Watch Free. 
Now, boys, here is* your opportunity— 
men, too, for that matter. Here is a 
watch made by one of the largest watch 
makers in the country. It is full size, 
stem wind and set, nickel finish, and 
warranted to keep accurate time. It is 
just the kind of watch to carry at any 
kind of work. We will send it post paid 
and one new yearly subscription for 
$1.90 ; or we will send it free for a club 
of four yearly subscriptions at $1 each. 
Any boy can get up a club of four sub¬ 
scribers among his friends in a short 
time, and get the watch absolutely free.
