THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
October 21 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
WHEAT.—On account of advance in 
ocean freight and consequent slack of ex¬ 
port demand, wheat has declined % to % 
cent. 
CORN.—This is the cheapest foodstuff on 
the market at present. The call for export 
has been heavy, but prices have dropped 
Va cent on account of the decline in wheat. 
BUCKWHEAT.—The crop is light, and 
home mills take most of it for flour. There 
is a demand for export to Holland, but 
prices are above the limit, which is $1.25 
per 100, f. o. b. steamer here. 
POTATOES.—There is a heavy supply of 
Irish potatoes, and the price for fancy has 
declined about 12 cents. Other grades 
dropped slightly. Heavy receipts of south¬ 
ern sweets caused a fall of 10 cents. Prime 
Jersey sweets are unchanged. 
BEANS.—Prices have steadily advanced 
during the past week, making an aggre¬ 
gate of about 20 cents per bushel on most 
grades. Receipts are liberal, but there is 
no prospect of an immediate decline in 
prices, as the Government and export de¬ 
mand are strong, and offerings are quickly 
taken. 
BROOM CORN.—This has advanced $30 
per ton in the last 10 days. Illinois grow¬ 
ers have sold at $190 per ton. Foreign 
orders are refused on account of the 
scarcity, and a further rise is probable. 
Three-fourths of the crop has been dis¬ 
posed of. It is said that this is the first 
time in 10 years that growers have had 
control of the market. 
DRESSED POUUTRY.—The supply has 
been very heavy. The warm weather 
made prompt handling necessary, and all 
conditions favored buyers. Many shippers 
wired requests to hold stock in cold stor¬ 
age. It is said that a Missouri packing¬ 
house has an order for 350,000 pounds of 
dressed poultry from the British govern¬ 
ment, and further orders from the same 
source are expected. 
WORLD’S GRAIN CROP.—The Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture states that according 
to the most careful estimates, the world's 
crop of wheat will be about2,540,000,000 bush ■ 
els. a reduction of about one-eighth from 
last year. Rye is said to be short about 
46,000,000 bushels, barley 95,000,000, and oats 
38,000,000, while corn shows a surplus of 
59,000,000.

BUSINESS BITS. 
We are requested to say that where hard¬ 
ware dealers do not handle the dishorning 
clipper made by the H. H. Brown Mfg. Co., 
Decatur, III., it may be had direct from the 
factory; address as above. 
The incubator and poultry supplies 
formerly made by the Von Culin Incubator 
Co., of Delaware City, Del., are now to 
be manufactured and sold by the Columbia 
Incubator Co., of the same place. This is 
in effect a reorganization of the old com¬ 
pany. The goods give satisfaction, and 
this infusion of new energy will no doubt 
attract a still larger trade in the supplies 
of this house. 
It seems that the rascals in the commis¬ 
sion business are not confined to New 
York City. An Ohio subscriber reports 
having just lost $700 in a shipment of 
cattle to E. T. Coyle of Pittsburg. In this 
case a worthless check was sent the ship¬ 
per. This gave the seller time to change 
his location, and he cannot now be found. 
We feel a little like scolding the breeder 
who ships stock to a commission man with¬ 
out financial rating. 
One of the really good things combining 
advertising with information is a little 
booklet entitled Keeping Cows for Profit, 
by the De Laval Separator Co., 74 Cort- 
landt Street, N. Y. It is nicely printed, 
and nicely illustrated in colors. We were 
rather disposed to give a synopsis of the 
booklet, but it is so full of matter inter¬ 
esting to dairymen, whether making butter 
or selling milk, that we suggest that read¬ 
ers send a postal card for it. It is sent 
free. 
The more farmers study the problem, the 
more they cook food and heat water for 
live stock. If you are not yet convinced 
of the wisdom of this course, feed one calf 
for a few weeks on cold milk, and another 
on warm milk, and watch the results, or 
feed one pig on raw roots while another 
has the same quantity cooked food. If 
you have no convenient way of doing the 
heating and cooking, write D. R. Sherry 
& Co., Batavia, Ill., for information about 
their farm boiler. 
Wants, For Sale or Exchange. 
Subscribers who have something to sell 
or buy or exchange, new or old, are in¬ 
vited to make their case known in this 
column. Help and Situation Wants will 
also be inserted here. The cost will be- 
four cents a word, each insertion; cash 
should accompany the order. This column 
will make and save money for the farmers 
who use it and watch it.

A MARVELOUS DISCOVERY 
In Medical Science, Wonderful, Astonishing, 
Yet True. 
CURES RHEUMATISM, NEURALGIA AND SCIATICA. 
By the introduction in the medical field, of our most wonderful “5 DROPS,” a legacy 
of inestimable value has been bequeathed to mankind. Suffering humanity is no longer 
at thejnerey of diseases which have always defied the skill of the medical profession, for 
now “5 DROPS” defies these diseases, and has robbed them of their terror. This is truly a 
God-given remedy, yet invented by man for the benefit of suffering mortals, and will be 
handed down to coming generations ar the most wonderful production in medical science 
during the Nineteenth Century. This remedy is positively curing more people daily 
than all other remedies combined. We challenge the worst cases of Rheumatism in 
all of its forms, Catarrh, Neuralgia, Asthma, La Grippe and kindred diseases 
as a test of what this remedy will do. It has positively cured in a short time many who 
were bed-ridd . for years; others who could only walk by the use of crutches, and still 
others who had been given up by competent physicians to die. This is no exaggeration. 
We have the evidence in our possession to prove all we say and more too. 
“5 DROPS” positively cures the following diseases: RHEUMATISM, NEURAL¬ 
GIA, SCIATICA, DYSPEPSIA, BACKACHE, HAY-FEVER, CATARRH, 
SLEEPLESSNESS, NERVOUSNESS, HEART WEAKNESS, TOOTHACHE, 
EARACHE, CREEPING NUMBNESS, BRONCHITIS, LIVER and KIDNEY 
DISEASES, and where one is cured by this remedy, they stay cured of these diseases, 
for it fortifies the system against any future attack. ”5 DROPS” is the name and five 
drops the dose. Large bottles (800 doses) prepaid by Mail or Express, $1.00, or six bottles 
for 85.00. Sample bottles, regular price, 25c., but for the next thirty days from the date 
of this paper, we will send sample bottles upon receipt of 10c. each. No one can appre¬ 
ciate this wonderful remedy until they try it. Write to-day. Agents wanted.
