THE RURAL NEW-YORKERJ 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER.—Choice creamery has advanced 
one cent, and is now selling at 26 cents. 
The moderate arrivals have given a firm 
tone to the market. A fair amount of busi¬ 
ness is reported in grades below fancy, but 
prices are too high for speculation, and 
buyers take only enough for present wants. 
Very little State dairy is arriving. West¬ 
ern imitation creamery is in light supply, 
and scarcely any of it is of fancy quality. 
EGGS.—Receipts are rather light, and 
prices on best grades have advanced one to 
two cents. Dealers looking for stock for 
fancy trade had difficulty in getting a sup¬ 
ply, and were often obliged to receive goods 
that they would not have used except for 
scarcity of the better qualities. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is steady. Liverpool re¬ 
ported an advance of % cent on futures. 
There is but little speculation in the local 
market. Oats are firm and the local de¬ 
mand active. Rye is firm and higher in 
sympathy with the sharp advance in Chica¬ 
go. Corn has advanced % cent, with a 
fairly active business. Buckwheat flour 
and grain are very dull. 
POTATOES.—Receipts for week ending 
November 17, 68,699 barrels. Offerings of 
prime stock are moderate. Interior mar¬ 
kets are on about the same basis as New 
York, which curtails shipments, and the 
local demand is equal to the supply that is 
coming forward. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—For several days 
there have been unusually heavy arrivals, 
and the market is in bad shape. Handlers 
have difficulty in getting storage room. 
There is an especial surplus of Western 
turkeys, chickens and fowls. Dealers say 
that it is unusual to have such a heavy 
supply so far in advance of a holiday. On 
account of the mild weather much of the 
dry-picked poultry arrives in bad condition, 
and is sold to the cheap trade at once at 
almost any price, some lots of this descrip¬ 
tion selling at four to five cents per pound. 
There is some inquiry for fancy dry-picked 
chickens at nine cents to put in freezers, 
but few of suitable quality are found.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED. 
Catarrh Is a kindred ailment of consumption, long 
considered incurable; and yet there is one remedy 
that will positively cure catarrh in any of its stages. 
For many years this remedy was used by the late 
Dr. Stevens, a widely noted authority on all diseases 
of the throat and lungs. Having tested its wonderful 
curative powers in thousands of cases, and desiring 
to relieve human suffering, I will send free of charge 
to all sufferers from Catarrh. Asthma, Consumption, 
and nervous diseases, this recipe, in German, French 
or English, with full directions for preparing and 
using. Sent by mail by addressing, with stamp,
