THE 
RURAL new-yorker: 
November lg 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
HOPS.—Trade is rather weak, and nearly 
all interior reports state that growers are 
accepting eight to 10 cents for the 1899 crop. 
GRAIN.—Wheat closed at a decline of 
% to % cent. The latest estimates place 
the Winter-wheat area for this country at 
28,000,000 acres, about 2 , 000,000 acres more 
than last year. Corn advanced % cent. 
The local market for oats is quite active. 
Rye and barley are dull. There is but 
little demand for buckwheat flour or grain. 
FRUITS.—Receipts of pears have been 
too heavy, and they are a drug on the 
market. Only the best varieties of table 
or storage fruit have any chance to sell at 
fair prices. The better grades of grapes 
are firm, but buyers are particular, and 
prices are shaded on lots that do not come 
up to requirements. Wine grapes are of 
poor quality and trade very dull. Cran¬ 
berries are firmer, prices showing an im¬ 
provement on best grades. Buyers are 
seeking holiday supplies, and prices are 
likely to be better during the remainder of 
this month. The demand for quinces is 
light and decreasing. 
DRESSED MEATS.—Calves are in liberal 
supply, and the market ruled easy. Coun¬ 
try dressed pork is selling well and prices 
show slight improvement. 
BUTTER.—Best grades have advanced 
one cent, and are now selling at 25 cents 
per pound. This is said to be the highest 
price in four years. Fresh creamery is 
scarce, and buyers have to take butter 
which they would refuse under ordinary 
circumstances. Storage stocks have been 
drawn on heavily. June butter has come 
out of the freezers in good shape, and has 
a larger place in the market than is usual 
'at this time of year. 
EGGS.—The market shows an advance of 
about one cent* on high-grade fresh-gath¬ 
ered eggs, which are very scarce. On 
secondary and lower grades there is little 
change, these goods being in competition 
with icehouse eggs, which are urgently 
offered.

BUSINESS BITS. 
The Lebanon Poultry Farm people, at 
Lebanon, Pa., speak very highly of their 
success with the Universal hatcher, made 
by the E. W. Andrews Incubator Co., El¬ 
mira, N. Y. 
The Locust Grove Stock and Poultry 
Farm, Antwerp, N. Y., has an item in the 
want column that will interest sellers of 
live stock as well as buyers. That want 
column is a good middleman. 
Customers of Hamilton & Co., the swine 
breeders, will note that their address is 
now given at Rosenvick, Pa., instead of 
West Chester, as formerly. The location 
of the farm has not been changed. 
A subscriber sends us a circular from 
a concern in the Cotton Exchange, New 
York, which invites remittances for invest¬ 
ment, promising big profits. _ The sub¬ 
scriber says that his neighbors have re¬ 
ceived dividends of ?40 on an investment of 
$200. He asks if it is a swindle. Certainly 
it is, and an old one at that. The scheme 
in these swindles is to return part of the 
money from time to time and call it divi¬ 
dends. 
Humans may find it wise to go without 
meat, but the feathered two-Ieggers are 
not built that way. A hen must have 
meat and bone-forming food, if she is to lay 
eggs. The best bone-forming food is in 
the bone itself. That is why green-bone 
cutters are so popular. They supply just 
what the hen needs at a low cost. They 
make available what would otherwise be a 
waste. Mann’s Bone cutter, made by the 
F. W. Mann Co., Box 15, Milford, Mass., 
will cut up the bones and make the hens 
lay eggs. 
How They Regulate Their Watches. 
There is an old saying in New Jersey, so often 
repeated that it lias become famous, to the effect 
that people set their watches by Lackawanna 
Railroad trains. This road has been operated 
for more than half a centux-y, and its record for 
punctuality is one of its remarkable features. 
Beginning with less than 100 miles of track lo¬ 
cated exclusively in the State of Pennsylvania, it 
has now stretched out until it connects the great 
cities of New York and Buffalo, and has linked 
to them by a double row ol steel the great cities 
of Utica, Syracuse, Ithaca and Northumberland. 
Yet its expansion has never interfered with the 
punctuality of its trains. It is the short line be¬ 
tween New York and Buffalo, and every day its 
five trains in each direction, though heavily loaded 
with people, reach their destination exactly on 
the minute. This is done, too, in spite of the fact 
that the road has to cross one of the most beau¬ 
tiful sections of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on its 
journey from the city by the lakes to the city by 
the sea.
