MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market, on the whole, has 
been dull, with slight variations in price. 
Wheat has been in light demand, and 
business has been extremely quiet. There 
has been an advance in lake freight, as 
well a.<; in rail and ocean rates, and this 
has had a depressing effect on business. 
Export sales were light. The corn market 
has been dull but steady. There is only a 
light demand, and export sales have been 
small. The market for rye is dull and 
steady, reported stronger in Chicago, while 
barley is very quiet. Receipts of beans 
have been good; the market is firm. Re¬ 
ceipts of butter have been somewhat lighter 
than the previous week, and prices have 
advanced somewhat. Even the slight ad¬ 
vance noted has caused a cancellation of 
export orders, and buyers are taking the 
lower grades. The market seems to be 
cleaned up nicely, and the position strong. 
Receipts of cheese have also been lighter, 
still the market has not shown any im¬ 
provement. Sales have been slow, and 
considerable quantities are going into 
storage. Receipts of eggs have been con¬ 
siderably lighter, but the market has 
shown little change. The proportion of 
fancy grades is very small. There is a 
good, supply of nearly all kinds of vege¬ 
tables, although the quality of many is 
very irregular. The market has been glut¬ 
ted with State green peas, the bulk of them 
selling for low prices. The tomato market 
is demoralized, and prices low. Green corn 
is dull and low. Egg plants weak. Re¬ 
ceipts of potatoes have been lighter, and 
for choice qualities, the market is steady; 
still a great many small and poor ones 
have been sent forward that sell for low 
prices. There is a large supply of apples, 
especially of green ones, and these sell very 
slowly. Fancy red apples sell well at good 
prices, as the supply is comparatively 
light. Pears are dull, plums move very 
slowly, while peaches are not over plenty; 
granes move very slowly, and the quality 
of a large part of the receipts is poor. 
There is a good supply of dressed poultry, 
and a good deal of it has arrived out of 
condition.. Prices generally have a down¬ 
ward tendency. Receipts of live poultry 
are not so large, and the market is quiet.

Short-horn cattle from all parts of the 
country were exhibited at the Elks’ fair, 
which opened at Lexington, Ky„ August 
8. The display of these cattle was said to 
be the finest in this country for many 
years, excepting the World’s Fair. 
Foot Rot in Cattle.—To cure it, use 
blue vitriol and vinegar; put one-half 
pound or more of blue vitriol in a quart 
bottle, then All it with good cider vinegar, 
shake and‘cork. In 24 hours, it is ready 
for use. Wet well between the claws, also 
the foot around the hoof and ankle. I have 
cured it with one application. Another 
good remedy is oil of spike and British oil, 
equal parts, mixed. I prefer the former. 
Collinsville, Conn. m. a. c. 
How to Raise Turkeys.— We have a 
very nice flock. Some say one must make 
curd for them. I don’t think so. It makes 
them weak. I bake bread for them in a 
deep basin—one-third meal, two-thirds 
wheat bran. As they get larger, more 
meal. Take some sour milk and water, a 
little soda and salt. Stir not very thick; 
bake until it is heated through nicely. I 
make enough at a time for three or four 
meals. Give them plenty of water to 
drink. s. w. h.
