THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
EGGS.—The market is generally dull. 
Very fancy fresh are steady, but for all 
under-grades there is a pressure to sell 
and no adequate outlet. Refrigerators are 
of slow sale and freely offered. 
BUTTER.—The warm weather has inter¬ 
fered with the trade, but sufficient stock 
has been moved the past week to relieve 
the situation somewhat, and fresh table 
butter and best June stock are firm. 
APPLES.—The market is overburdened 
with a large quantity of poor stock, which 
is urged for sale at buyers’ figures. For 
the better grades there is a fair demand at 
about full prices, but the inside quotations 
are all down. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is firm at a slight ad¬ 
vance. Receipts of corn are moderate, and 
prices are %-cent higher. Oats are active, 
and prices a trifle better, in sympathy with 
other grain. Rye is firm. The price is too 
high for much export trade, and the mills 
are taking most of the crop. Rye flour is 
in good demand. The mills are not making 
large contracts on account of the difficulty 
in procuring the grain. 
VEGETABLES.—There is a heavy offer¬ 
ing of Irish potatoes, for which trade is 
dull. Strictly choice onions are steady, but 
there is a large offering of inferior stock at 
low prices. Receipts of cauliflowers are 
heavy and of slow sale. Long Island are 
quoted at 50 cents to $1.25 per barrel.

The Exchange price for October is 2% cents

BUSI/I/ESS BITS. 
The R. N.-Y. representative recently 
went through the factory of the Edw. W. 
Walker Carriage Co. at Goshen, Ind., and 
writes that he thinks it a good place to buy 
wagons. They are selling direct from the 
factory to the consumer, and are making 
a fine and full line of vehicles. By avoid¬ 
ing much of the expense of retail selling, 
they are able to quote practically whole¬ 
sale prices. Their catalogue may be had 
for the asking. 
The farm kitchen that is without an 
Enterprise meat and food chopper is not 
completely equipped. Any woman who has 
spent a day making tomato catsup or chili 
sauce with all its tedious chopping and 
cutting by hand, and then has seen the 
same work done rapidly and easily with 
the Enterprise machine is a convert to the 
new method at once. In preparing sau¬ 
sage, mincemeat, head cheese, hash, etc., 
the choppers are still more serviceable and 
econofnical. They are made by the Enter¬ 
prise Mfg. Co., Philadelphia, Pa. For 
four cents in stamps they send a useful 
household book, containing 200 recipes. 
To show the strength of the American 
field and hog fencing, this story is told by 
an enthusiastic farmer who, in sending in 
a duplicate order not long ago, related how 
his team, drawing a heavy farm wagon, 
ran away and finally landed pell mell in a 
section of the American fencing. The 
wagon tongue was broken, the entire 
wagon badly damaged and the horses 
stunned by the shock, but the fence was 
not even bent when the wreck was re¬ 
moved. The American fences are sold by 
agents in nearly all towns throughout the 
United States and Canada, but should 
there be no agency in your town, further 
information can be secured by addressing 
the manufacturers, American Steel and 
Wire Co., Chicago or New York. 
The total number of cattle in Texas, ac¬ 
cording to the tax rolls of the present 
year, is about 6,400,000, an increase of nearly 
1,000,000 over last year. Texas stockmen 
are breeding up their cattle, and the old 
long-horns are passing away. Horses 
show a decrease in number of about 200,0u0, 
but the existing horse crop in Texas is im¬ 
proving greatly in quality. 
The Supreme Court of California decides 
that the increase of a herd of domestic 
animals means the young of such animals, 
and does not apply to the wool. It claims 
that the wool is no more the increase of a 
flock than the butter and cheese can be 
called the increase from a herd of cows. 
In thje case involved, a man gave a chattel 
mortgage on a herd of sheep, which was to 
cover the increase thereof. The mort- 
gageor sheared the sheep, and the mort¬ 
gagee claimed the wool, but lost it.
