THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
August 26 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
Wheat has rallied somewhat from its 
previous weakness, and although the ad¬ 
vance is not very pronounced, still the 
market as a whole was in better condition. 
Sales were not very heavy, but the outlook 
seems to be good, and reports from abroad 
indicate a little better prices. There is a 
better export demand for corn, which was 
firmer and slightly higher. Crop reports 
continue favorable. Oats are meeting a 
good export demand, and sales have been 
fair, although the market remains quiet. 
The rye market is dull and easier, and the 
market for barley is very quiet. Arrivals 
of butter have been very light, and the 
market has made a material advance. 
This has been bad on the export trade, 
which has fallen off largely. The cheese 
market is quiet under small demands from 
buyers. Receipts of eggs are fair, but the 
quantity of strictly fancy is very small. 
Receipts of potatoes are liberal, and the 
tone of the market is growing weaker. 
The quality of recent receipts of sweet po¬ 
tatoes shows some improvement. Receipts 
of live poultry have been liberal, and 
Spring chickens are weak but fowls are 
steady. There is a light demand for tur¬ 
keys; large receipts of dressed poultry, 
poor demand and dull prices. The supply 
of Long Island ducks is light, and prices 
have advanced somewhat. The supply of 
fruits is generally heavy, but the cool 
weather has been favorable to handling, 
and there has been less loss in conse¬ 
quence. There is a good demand for choice 
quality of apples, especially for the red 
varieties, which are in light supply. A 
heavy supply of pears, and a light one ol 
peaches, a large supply of muskmelons, 
and prices are very low. Watermelons, 
also, are plentiful, and sell slowly.
