MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
There has been some fluctuation in the 
wheat market during the week, but a net 
advance all around. The corn market is 
quiet and steady. Oats were firm and 
somewhat higher. Export sales of wheat 
were not very heavy. Large quantities of 
corn were sold for foreign markets. The 
sales of oats were light. The rye market 
is quiet and firm, small sales for export 
being reported. There is a large demand 
for feeding barley; prices are firm. It is 
said that, in some cases, the malting barley 
has been taken in the place of feeding, the 
latter being very scarce. There is a very 
strong market for nearly all kinds of beans. 
Butter prices show little change, although 
receipts have been considerably higher. 
There is a good retail business, and the 
market is in good condition. Receipts of 
cheese have been lighter. Export sales 
have been considerable, and the market is 
firm. Receipts of eggs are running about 
the same as one week ago, but there is a 
better demand for the best grades, and the 
market shows little change. The potato 
market is quiet, considerable stock is ar¬ 
riving, and prices show no tendency to a 
further advance. The receipts of dressed 
poultry have been heavier, and the market 
is not very active. The live poultry mai- 
ket is quiet, and shows little change. There 
is a good demand for choice, hand-picked 
red table apples and for shipping varieties. 
All lower grades are dull; ilartleit and 
Seckel pears in good demand. Little de¬ 
mand for quinces; light supply of plums 
and peaches; grapes are quiet, supply mod¬ 
erate. The onion market is quiet and easy; 
tomatoes and corn dull; Lima beans stead.,.

The price of M. G. Kains’s book. Gin¬ 
seng Culture, has been increased by the 
publishers from 25 to 35 cents. Orders will 
now be filled by us at the latter price. 
There is, apparently, an increasing inter¬ 
est in this plant. 
Those who have been caught out of a 
dark night, in a country road, know the 
value of a driving lamp. Those who have 
had a lamp that went out with every 
fresh gust of wind or jolt of the wagon, 
will appreciate a lamp that is both wind 
and jolt-proof, and that may be fastened 
to the wagon securely and with ease. The 
Dietz driving lamp fills all these require¬ 
ments. Of course, you are in need of 
lamps for some purpose or another, and in 
that case, need their catalogue. It will be 
sent free. Address R. E. Dietz & Co., 87

Suffolk County (N. Y.) Fair.— This 
is one of the few purely agricultural fairs 
in this vicinity. The visitors are for the 
most part farmers and their families, and 
they come to learn what their neighbors 
are doing. They look at the novelties, 
and discuss the relative merits of older 
varieties of vegetables, fruits, etc., and 
have a good time. Mr. Henry A. Reeve, 
of Greenport, the president of the society, 
had charge of the poultry tent, and J. C. 
Long acted as judge. Henry A. Brown 
looked after the fruit exhibit, which was, 
as usual, very creditable. The display in¬ 
dicated that this was one of the best fruit 
years ever known in Suffolk County. Nich¬ 
olas Hallock acted as judge. N. H. Day- 
ton had charge of the fine show of cattle. 
Theodore W. Smith looked after the sheep. 
The exhibit would indicate a revival of 
sheep growing in this section of Long Isl¬ 
and. J. F. Gould had charge of a very ex¬ 
cellent show of swine. Elbert W. Taber 
arranged the grains, and Walter L. Jag- 
ger had charge of the vegetable tent. The 
exhibit of flowers, especially those from 
amateur growers, was excellent. Geo. C. 
Wells deserves a large share of credit for 
this department. David Carll and Miss 
Anna Millard looked after the dairy de¬ 
partment and domestic manufactures. The 
outside attractions were bicycle races, a 
visit and address by Governor Roosevelt, 
horse racing, etc. A number of changes 
and improvements have been made about 
the grounds. The attendance was, on the 
whole, perhaps as large as usual.
