THE RURAL NEW-YORKER; 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
The market business this week has been 
crowded into four days, as Friday and Sat¬ 
urday were legal holidays. The grain mar¬ 
ket has been fairly active, with a tendency 
toward higher prices all around. The for¬ 
eign market for wheat developed consider¬ 
able strength, and there was considerable 
export buying here. Corn has been very 
active, and the market lirm. There is a 
large foreign demand for oats. Export 
trade has been mostly through other ports. 
New York not getting any of any account. 
There has been little change in rye and 
barley, and the market is quiet. Butter 
receipts have been moderate, and the tone 
of the market lirm. There has been con¬ 
siderable export demand for the grade of 
creamery that sells at 19 to 20 cents a 
pound. Receipts of cheese have been mod¬ 
erate and the market lirm. Exporters are 
looking for large, colored stock and this 
grade has sold quickly. Receipts of eggs 
are fair and the market lirm; strictly 
choice stock is scarce. Refrigerator stock 
is coming forward rapidly. The market is 
tolerably well supplied with fruits, apples 
being plentiful except for fancy red table 
sorts. There are large supplies of grapes, 
and best pears are in moderate supply. 
The market for potatoes has shown little 
change, but is steady for strictly choice 
stock. Receipts of live poultry have been 
large, and there have been considerable 
accumulations and a consequent weakness. 
Receipts of dressed poultry have been large 
and the market dull. There is a good sup¬ 
ply of almost all kinds of vegetables.

BUSINESS BITS. 
On another page of this issue, appears 
the advertisement of the Dicks Agricultural 
Works, Canton, O. In the ad., they are 
directing attention to an entirely new en¬ 
silage and food machine, called the Bliz¬ 
zard. The Blizzard differs from all other 
machines of its class in the following 
points: It is built exclusively for power; 
the cutting knives are attached directly 
to the fly-wheel, which entirely obviates 
the ordinary cutter head; it is equipped 
with two sets of knives, one which first 
splits the feed or fodder and then outs it 
off; the knives work on the gradually in¬ 
creasing or shear-plate principle; the fly¬ 
wheel is a solid disk, perfect and easy in 
all its adjustments; cuts a variety of satis¬ 
factory lengths, and is unusually strong 
and well made. The most remarkable fea¬ 
ture, however, is the pneumatic attachment 
or feed carrier. This is a pipe through 
which is passed a strong current of air suf¬ 
ficient to deliver green or dry feed to any 
height likely to be required; it carries the 
feed straight up and delivers it at any 
angle, by a system of elbows. Easily ad¬ 
justed and easy to handle. These ma¬ 
chines are made in several convenient sizes 
to fit any requirement. Write the manu¬ 
facturer for catalogue and further infor¬ 
mation. 
The Ohio Valley Grain Co., St. Mary’s, 
W. Va., has ordered produce from New 
York State farmers, directing that draft 
be sent with bill of lading. The draft, 
however, remains unpaid. They have 
now failed. The information is of value 
only as a warning not to ship to dealers 
whose responsibility is not known. 
G et more eggs, how? 
teed the hens on green cut bone. They^ 
will lay double the eggs 
right in the middle of the winter, / 
when eggs are worth most money. | 
DANDY ^ Cutters 
with or without gear are the best 
machines for preparing bone for 
fowls. Cut last, turn ea*y.
