THE RURAL NEW-YORKERi 
October 28 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
EGGS.—The demand has been light. 
Choice are quoted at 20 cents. Refriger¬ 
ator stock is urgently offered at 17 cents. 
Western held eggs are coming forward 
liberally, and quality is so irregular that 
prices are largely a matter of negotiation. 
CHEESE.—The market is firm and prac¬ 
tically unchanged. Extra fancy small sizes 
are quoted at 12% cents. There is but little 
export from here, as Montreal stock can 
be obtained cheaper. Skims are fairly 
active, small sizes maintaining the recent 
advance to 10 % cents. 
APPLES.—There have been liberal re¬ 
ceipts, and only the best sorts are selling 
readily. Red varieties are in greatest de¬ 
mand, and command full figures. With 
cooler weather shipping will slacken, and 
better prices are expected. 
CRANBERRIES.—Best keeping qualities 
are firm, but fully ripe fruit is urgently of¬ 
fered, and conditions favor buyers. The 
yield is heavy, though the crop has been 
somewhat damaged by bad weather and 
frost. Higher prices will doubtless rule 
after the surplus of soft stock is off the 
market. 
BUTTER.—Although the receipts were 
not large, trade has been dull, owing to the 
unfavorable weather. The strong feature 
of the market is the moderate supply of 
creamery good enough to grade extra. This 
is firm at 24 cents. Other grades show a 
slight decline. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is weak at a decline of 
% cent. Corn is fairly strong. The indi¬ 
cations are that the crop is smaller than at 
first estimated. It is reported that frosts 
in Illinois have cut the crop 20 per cent. 
Oats are dull. The visible supply shows an 
increase of 2,500,000 bushels as compared 
with last year. Rye is dull. Offerings are 
free with only moderate demand. Barley 
shows a decrease in visible supply of 677,000 
bushels as compared with last year.

The Bureau of Animal Industry, con¬ 
nected with the Department of Agriculture 
at Washington, has issued a pamphlet on 
Blackleg in the United States. This dis¬ 
cusses the disease known as blackleg, and 
gives an account of the experiments with 
vaccination as a cure for the disease. 
Several years ago Pasteur introduced this 
method of treating the disease, and the 
Government has made quite extensive 
experiments with it, which are here re¬ 
corded.

A CURE FOR ASTHMA. 
THE LIGHT 
THAT SAVES. 
One dark night 
during the siege of 
Santiago Harbor a 
Spanish Torpedo 
boat darted out under cover of darkness to 
launch its deadly missile against an Amer¬ 
ican war vessel. If she had been struck 
she would have gone to the bottom. What 
saved her? Was it her big 13 -inch guns? 
No, it was her search-light: the dazzling 
white beam of light that shot straight out 
like a sword-thrust through the darkness, 
revealed the approaching danger. 
What is it that saves thousands of men 
from death every day in the year when the 
deadly foe of disease is creeping unsus¬ 
pected upon them? It is the white light 
of science; the educated understanding 
that reveals the source of danger and 
indicates the exact point of attack. 
While the ordinary doctor gropes around, 
with the feeble tallow-candle light of ste¬ 
reotyped, conventional, routine treatment, 
a physician like Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buf¬ 
falo, N. Y., instantly illuminates the sub¬ 
ject with the clear day-light ray of practical 
knowledge; the irresistible search-light of 
advanced and life-sustaining science. 
“ I was afflicted for four years,” says John F. 
Zingsheim, Esq., of No. 9 Lark St., Amsterdam, 
N. Y., in an earnest letter to Dr. Pierce. *“ My 
suffering was extreme and the trouble gradually 
increased notwithstanding the fact that I tried 
many different kinds of treatment. After be¬ 
coming physically incapacitated and unable to 
work at all, and after much hesitation, I wrote 
you. I am very happy to state that your advice 
has done me great good. You advised Dr. 
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and also his 
‘ Pleasant Pellets.’ I must here state that they 
have cured me. I wish to thank you most heart¬ 
ily for what you did for me. All suffering has 
vanished and I have gained about twenty-five 
pounds in weight. I used only one bottle of 
‘ Golden Medical Discovery’ and one vial of the 
‘ Pellets.’ ” 
Do not hesitate to write to Dr. Pierce. He 
will send confidential advice absolutely 
free. Send 21 one-cent stamps to cover cost 
of mailing only, for paper-covered copy of 
Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad¬ 
viser. Cloth-binding ten stamps extra.

Asthma sufferers need no longer leave home and 
business in order to be cured. Nature has produced

Having tested its wonderful curative powers in thou¬

nently cured), and desiring to relieve human suffer¬ 
ing. I will send free of charge to all sufferers from 
Asthma, Consumption, Catarrh, Bronchitis and ner¬
