THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
August 12 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market, as a whole, is dull, 
wheat, especially so. Trading, however, 
was mostly by the speculators, and they 
appear to have forced prices down. Ex¬ 
port trade is light, largely because of high 
ocean freights. Corn was firm, though the 
market was not particularly active, and 
sales were only moderate. Oats have ruled 
steady, sales moderate. Rye is dull and 
prices easier. Barley is weaker. The hay 
market is stronger under moderate receipts 
and a heavy demand. The market for feed¬ 
ing stuffs is very dull, and the demand 
light. Prices, however, seem to be well 
maintained. Receipts of butter have been 
somewhat lighter, but trade is dull, and 
prices show little change. The recent 
heavy buying for export has helped the 
market situation greatly. Export buying 
is now done with caution because of the 
outlook for lower prices. Arrivals of 
cheese are about with the previous week, 
but the market seems easier. Small sizes 
are most active. Receipts of eggs are lib¬ 
eral, but trade is at a low ebb. Injury 
from hot weather is shown by most ar¬ 
rivals. Fancy fresh stock is not plentiful. 
Dressed poultry is in large supply. Fancy 
large chickens are in good demand. There 
is a good demand for live poultry, with 
the exception of small, poor chickens and 
ducks. Receipts of apples heavy, market 
weak. Good demand for choice pears and 
peaches; plums dull. Grapes mostly poor. 
Potatoes in liberal supply, many small and 
poor. Onions are quiet; Orange county 
and Eastern reds are more plentiful and 
lower. Tomatoes show little change; there 
was a moderate demand for choice stock, 
but inferior qualities are dull and irreg¬ 
ular. State peas easier. Lima beans about 
steady for choice Potato, but flat are still 
neglected. Green corn plentiful, urgently 
offered and weak. Other vegetables with¬ 
out much change.

Fred Grundy said in The Rural New 
Yorker: “One of the handiest and most use¬ 
ful little tools 1 ever got hold of is the 
little copper atomizer, about 15 or 20 inches 
long. By working the piston the liquid is 
blown out of the can in a line mist. 1 use 
it with vaporized kerosene to keep flies off 
the cattle, and a very little oil used in 
this way will permit you to milk in peace. ’

as the Vapor Gem. Special price delivered 
by express $1.50. This season only. 
The common ground moles have been an 
annoyance at the Rural Grounds for many 
years. The damage these hardy little pests 
are able to do to a bed or lawn in a single 
night, is simply astonishing. The mole is 
a quick, shrewd, and suspicious little fel¬ 
low, which makes him a difficult enemy to 
manage successfully. The only successful 
means yet tried at the Rural Grounds is 
trapping; some of the traps are very crude, 
wary pests elude them successfully. 
Ihe Out-of-Sight” mole trap made by the 
Animal Trap Co., Abington, Ill., is the re- 
sult of an intimate knowledge of the mole 
and his habits. It is, accordingly, free from 
the faults of most of the old traps. It is 
apparently the best yet produced.
