THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
December 9 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BUTTER—Arrivals have been light, with 
a scarcity of the better grades. The high¬ 
est bid recorded at the Produce Exchange 
was 27 cents for western creamery, and 
subsequently this figure was taken as the 
general basis of trading from store to 
store. The late advance to 25% cents in 
June creamery was maintained. State 
dairy was scarce and of irregular quality. 
VEGETABLES.—For the last few days 
the market has been better than for sev¬ 
eral weeks. Cabbage is firm and selling 
well at present prices. Many growers lost 
money on early varieties, but later sorts 
have done better. Choice egg plant is 
scarce. There is some lettuce from Nor¬ 
folk, which sells for $1 to $2 per bushel 
basket. 
EGGS.—The market is irregular, and 
fancy fresh goods scarce and firm. Aver¬ 
age and lower grades of fresh-gathered are 
freely offered and rather weak. Sales of 
cold-storage eggs show a wide range of 
prices. Some extra marks are selling at 
17 cents, but the business at that price is 
small compared with the offerings at lower 
prices, many going at 13 cents. It is said 
ujjon good authority that there are 900,000,- 
000 eggs in cold storage in the United States 
at present. 
FRUITS.—The market for high-grade ap¬ 
ples is firm, and prices nave advanced 
slightly. Inferior qualities show little im¬ 
provement, but there are less of them on 
hand. Fancy grapes are meeting a fair 
demand, but few such are arriving, and 
trade on the lower grades is very dull. 
There are but few pears in the market, and 
good prices are obtainable for choice. 
Cranberries are lower, and continued heavy 
receipts cause holders to urge sales at al¬ 
most any price rather than sustain loss 
by spoiling. 
Reports from the Custom House show 
that the total value of all exports from 
New York, exclusive of specie, for the week 
ending November 2S, was $11,670,052. Liver¬ 
pool received the largest quantity, $1,642,134, 
London came next, and Hamburg, Ger¬ 
many, was third.

National Grange Meeting.— In his ad¬ 
dress at Springfield, Master Aaron Jones 
made the following recommendations: 
“I recommend that the National Grange 
continue to press their demands for appro¬ 
priate legislation on the following import¬ 
ant matters: 
“1. Free delivery of mail in the rural dis¬ 
tricts; and that the service be placed on 
the same permanent footing as the delivery 
of mail in the cities, and that the appro¬ 
priation therefor be commensurate with 
the benefits and demands for the service. 
“2. Providing for postal savings bank. 
“3. Submit an amendment to the consti¬ 
tution providing for the election of United 
States Senator by direct vote of the people. 
“4. Enlarging the powers and duties of 
the Interstate Commerce Commission, giv¬ 
ing them and charging them with the duty 
of fixing maximum rates of fare and 
freight on all interstate railways. 
“5. Regulating use of shoddy. 
“6. Enact pure food law. 
“7. Providing for the extension of the 
market for farm products, making it the 
duty of the United States consuls to aid in 
the extending of markets for farm products 
as for manufactured articles. 
“8. The enactment of an anti-trust law 
clearly defining what acts on the part of 
any corporation would be against public 
policy. 
“9. The speedy construction of the Nica¬ 
ragua Canal by the United States. 
“10. The speedy construction of a ship 
canal connecting the Mississippi River with 
the Great Lakes and the Great Lakes with 
the Atlantic Ocean. 
“11. Revising the fees and salaries of all 
Federal officers and placing them on a 
basis of similar service in private busi¬ 
ness.” 
CONSUMPTION CURED. 
An old physician, retired from practice, had placed 
in his hands by an East India missionary the formula 
of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and 
permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Ca¬ 
tarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung Affections; 
also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility 
and all Nervous Complaints. Having tested its 
wonderful curative powers in thousands of oases, 
and desiring to relieve human suffering, I will send 
free of charge to all who wish it, this recipe, in Ger¬ 
man, French or English, with full directions for pre¬ 
paring and using. Sent by mail, by addressing, with
