MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market has been quiet during 
the week, but prices have been somewnat 
irregular. Export trade in wheat has been 
very light. The liuctuations, however, 
have been caused largely by speculators, 
and the real condition of the market has 
shown no material change. The corn 
market is strong, with a good export de¬ 
mand. The prices were somewhat higher. 
Receipts of oats have been large, and the 
demand moderate still prices have held up 
well in sympathy with other grains. The 
offerings of rye have been very small, 
prices fair. There have been some sales 
for export. Prices of barley are firm, with 
very little offering. Receipts of beans have 
been fair, and the market is firm. Receipts 
of butter have been moderate, fully equal 
to the demand, and there has been little 
change in prices. Exporters have been do¬ 
ing very little business, because of the 
high prices. From reports received in the 
market, the butter production in the coun¬ 
try has reached the lowest point of the 
season, and there is likely to be some in¬ 
crease. There have been moderate receipts 
of cheese, much of which is affected by the 
heat, and prices are slightly higher for 
really fancy grades. There has been very 
little export demand. Receipts of eggs 
have been larger, and the market quiet; 
still fresh gathered are very scarce. The 
potato market continues dull with prices 
tending downward. Sweet potatoes have 
been received in larger quantities, and the 
market is dull. Receipts of dressed poul¬ 
try are liberal, and trade is dull. Fancy, 
selected fowls and chickens are in demand, 
but the quantity of these is light. The 
market for live poultry is steady for fowls, 
ducks and geese, and weak for chickens. 
Receipts of apples have been liberal. Bart¬ 
lett pears heavy, and plums have arrived 
very freely. Peaches are in light receipt, 
and" fancy fruit commands high prices. 
Grapes are in heavy supply; prices lower. 
There is a heavy supply of muskmelons 
and watermelons.

BUS/NESS BITS. 
A new claimant for consideration in the 
potato digger line is the Excelsior digger. 
It is made by J. A. Buck & Co., Cohoes, 
N. Y. It is claimed for it that it works 
well in wet or dry soil, and the manufac¬ 
turers guarantee satisfaction. Their circu¬ 
lars and full information will be sent on 
application. 
The manufacturers of the Osgood scale 
make some most positive claims for it, and 
back them up with a five years’ guarantee, 
besides sending them on trial, freight paid. 
Farmers ought to have scales; there is no 
question about that, and this house affords 
the opportunity for them to get one that 
will give satisfaction. Their catalogue is 
sent on application, to Osgood Scale Co.. 
Binghamton, N. Y. 
Those who have used the Gearhart knit¬ 
ting machine say that it is entirely practi¬ 
cal for all kinds of family knitting. It has 
a heel and ribbing attachment. Sometimes 
a machine is used to knit for several fami¬ 
lies, and the owners are in that way able 
to make some money out of work done at 
spare times. J. E. Gearhart, Clearfield, 
Pa., is the manufacturer. 
The Sharpies Company, of which P. M. 
Sharpies, the well-known manufacturer of 
cream separators, is president, has opened 
a new office at Nos. 28-32 South Canal 
Street, Chicago. In the salesroom is a dis¬ 
play of everything needed in dairy, cream¬ 
ery or factory. Facilities for quickly sup¬ 
plying any kind of dairy apparatus, or any 
extras needed are at hand, as well as for 
repairing and refitting. 
If you are a farmer or want to be one, 
send for the “Western Trail.” Published 
quarterly. Full of pointers as to settling 
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri¬ 
tory. Handsomely embellished and con¬ 
cisely written. Mailed free. 
Address by postal card or letter. 
John Sebastian, G.P.A., Chicago. — Adv. 
IMPORTANT TO SHIPPERS. 
We have moved to the large building, 319 Wash¬ 
ington St. corner of Jay, New York. We have made 
this move because the advantages are important: 
First, a corner property draws buyers from four 
different directions. Second, the location Is much 
better and shows up goods much more attractively. 
We • ave supplied a large portion of the trade here 
for 34 years, and are known by the principal buyers 
far and near. We have made this business a success 
by clO".e attent'on and decent princioles. With us 
you have responsibility, experience and fair dealing. 
The oid stencil and posta cards can be used.
