THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
September 23 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The grain market has been rather quiet 
during the week, but prices generally have 
ruled steady and somewhat higher. There 
has been a slight advance in wheat in for¬ 
eign markets, and the English crop esti¬ 
mates are less favorable, with a lighter 
yield than last year. Sales of wheat here 
have been good, with a considerable pro¬ 
portion for export. The corn market 
opened strong, had a slight advance, and 
trading has continued active. While the 
corn crop of the West is reported extremely 
large this year, it is said that considerable 
areas are still in danger of damage by 
frost. Export sales of corn have been 
good. There has been very light trading 
in oats, and only small export sales. Rye 
prices are firm, but offerings small; some 
sales for export. There is a good demand 
for barley, but not much offering. Con¬ 
siderable barley for feeding has been sold 
for export. The bean market has shown 
increasing firmness, stocks being light and 
demand good. Receipts of butter have 
been rather light, trading quiet, but the 
market steady and prices well sustained. 
Receipts of cheese have been somewhat 
heavier than the preceding week, but hold¬ 
ers are not inclined to make any conces¬ 
sions in price, but rather are inclined to 
store cheese. There have been some sales 
for export, but not very extensive. Re¬ 
ceipts of eggs have been about equal to the 
previous week, but prices have advanced 
somewhat for strictly fresh. Refrigerator 
eggs are now quite a feature in the market, 
and are working out at good prices if of 
good quality. In the fruit market, choice 
red apples are not over plentiful, but for all 
other grades, there have been liberal sup¬ 
plies. There is a good demand for Bart¬ 
lett pears and choice later varieties; Kief- 
fers are moving rather slowly. Plums are 
in moderate supply and firm. Peaches are 
active at good prices. Grapes are in large 
supply and the market is weak; Delawares, 
however, are not plentiful. Western New 
York grapes are not so plentiful as those 
from the Hudson River Valley. The larger 
supply of muskmelons now are from Colo¬ 
rado. The quality is very irregular, but 
fancy stock brings high prices. Cranber¬ 
ries meet a fair demand mostly for western 
trade. This has been a heavy week in the 
market for live poultry, and prices have 
been satisfactory. Dressed poultry has 
been in lighter supply, but the market is 
fairly well sustained. The potato market 
is showing a firmer feeling, and prices have 
advanced somewhat on fair grades. Sweet 
potatoes are quieter, but little change in 
prices. Receipts of Virginia sweets are 
heavy. The vegetable market is pretty 
well supplied, and sales are good.
