The Last Call. 
Saturday, January 15, is the last day of the subscription 
contest for that 
$ 1 , 000.00 
The clubs are all small, considering the inducements for large 
clubs. There are, however, a great many small clubs. 
Remember that clubs of 10 or more are sure of a share of this 
$1,000. If your club is less than 10, take a little time to visit 
some of your neighbors and see whether you cannot increase 
it to 10 names. Also remember that clubs of 20 or more share 
larger. So if you are a few names short of 20, make an effort 
to increase it to 20. Then there are the four large cash 
premiums for the largest four clubs. These are : $200, $125, 
$75 and $50. Just a few names will make a difference in your 
place for these premiums. They are going easy. The time is 
short now, but you can go to work at it at once, and work up 
to Saturday night. Mail your club that night, and wire us 
any time before midnight how many names you send, and 
they will count. The last day’s work may be worth $25 or-$50 
to you, or even $75.

MILK AND CREAM. 
Tho total daily supply has been 20,929 cans of milk, 
137 cans of condensed milk and 391 cans of cream. 
Beginning January 1, the Milk Exchange price has 
been 2 % cents a quart net to the shipper at points 
subject to a 25-cent freight rate, a reduction ol 94 
cent instead of an advance of 96 cent as had been 
previously reported. 
HINDSIGHT : 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
Almost without exception, the market opened 
dull in all products, on Monday, with slow sales. 
In many lines, a considerable surplus was carried 
over from the week before, .and as there were a 
good many arrivals on Saturday, a holiday, this 
increased the amount of stuff on hand at the 
opening of the week. The early part of the week, 
therefore, was a sort of cleaning-up time, and as 
receijjts of most products continued fairly lib¬ 
eral, the market has not been very active at any 
time during the week. The grain market opened 
very quiet, with somewhat lower prices, and was 
disappointing to many who had expected a better 
market. Not only this, but the tendency seemed 
to be toward lower prices, which did not offer 
much encouragement; but the lower prices 
brought more sales later in the week, so that at 
the close, there was considerable export demand, 
and the market was much more satisfactory. 
This increased demand seemed to affect not only 
breadstuffs and cereals, but feedstuffs as well, 
and trade was quite brisk in all these. There 
have been reports on the market that the big pur¬ 
chase of wheat at Chicago, which was alluded to 
in our columns last week, had been sold entire to 
a foreign shipper, but this report lacked confirma¬ 
tion. It will not be long before Argentina will be 
ready to send new wheat to Europe, and reports 
indicate that she will have considerable quanti¬ 
ties to export. If this be true, it may have some¬ 
thing of an effect on our export trade, and will 
tend either to lessen the demand, or to bring 
about lower prices. Meantime the price of wheat 
here is well sustained, remaining above the dol¬ 
lar mark. 
The receipts of apples continue moderate, and 
there is a good demand for choice red apples 
such as are commonly called for for table use. 
Others are moving slowly. Grapes are now a 
small feature in the market demand, as well as 
receipts being light. Fancy cranberries are 
scarce, and there is a considerable demand for 
them at outside quotations. There is a light 
supply of Florida oranges, and the price is firm 
for good stock. 
Receipts of potatoes are quite liberal, and the 
demand moderate; still the price is well main¬ 
tained. Quite a large lot of Colorado potatoes 
have been sold here at 11.55 per 115-pound sack. 
Some German potatoes have, also, arrived. In 
other lines of vegetables, almost without excep¬ 
tion, demand is good for choice stock, and prices 
are very satisfactory. There has been some dam¬ 
age by freezing, and the extent of this often 
affects the price materially. 
In btitter, there is a general complaint of 
poor quality, and the receipts of this render 
sales slow, and tend to accumulations on the 
market. Prices are barely sustained for the best 
grades. Dairy butter is very dull, and good qual¬ 
ity of this is excejitional. Receipts of cheese are 
not large, and the market is in good shape with 
a fair export demand. 
The poultry market is weak, unless it may be 
for the very best grades, and these are not plenti¬ 
ful. There is yet a large accumulation, both of 
live and dressed poultry, and outside quotations 
represent prices for best qualities only. There 
are larger receipts of eggs, also, and the tendency 
seems to be downward, although strictly fresh- 
laid are not very plentiful. The extreme low 
prices of refrigerator and limed eggs, however, 
tend to work off a good many of these, to the ex¬ 
clusion of the best fresh-laid eggs; the price of 
the latter is not high.

A Thrilling Rescue. 
A YOUNG LIFE SAVED IN A REMARKABLE MANNER. 
Florence Sturdivant, of Grindstone Island, Saved from an 
Untimely Death—Her Dangerous Predicament. 
From “ On The St. Lawrence” Clayton, N. Y. 
Among the Thousand Islands is one called Grind¬ 
stone. It is seven miles long and three wide. The 
inhabitants of this island are a well-informed 
class of people who devote their energies to farm¬ 
ing and quarrying for a livelihood. In the home 
of one of these islanders resides Florence J. Stur¬ 
divant, the four-year old daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. William II. Sturdivant. She had a remark¬ 
able experience recently. 
In an interview with a reporter, Mr. Sturdivant 
said : “ Florence was taken sick in February, 
1896, with scarlet fever, and we immediately 
called a physician. After two weeks the fever 
subsided, but Florence was left with a very weak 
back. Severe pains were constantly in the back 
and stomach. The difficulty seemed to baffle the 
efforts of the physician. 
“ Finally, at the end of four months of treat¬ 
ment, we found our patient completely prostrated. 
At this time we called an eminent physician, who 
agreed with the diagnosis of our physician. He 
prescribed a course of treatment and we followed 
it faithfully for three months, but instead of im¬ 
proving, Florence failed. 
“ A brother of my wife, who resided in Canada, 
but was visiting us, advised us to use Dr. Wil¬ 
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and I purchased 
a box of the pills and began to give them to 
Florence. This was in October, 1896. After using 
the pills a short time we could see an improve¬ 
ment. Her strength began to return and her ap¬ 
petite was restored. When she had taken one 
box the pains in her back and stomach ceased, 
and her recovery seemed certain. 
“We eagerly purchased a second box of pills, 
and watched with delight the change for the 
better that was being wrought daily. Florence 
finally became strong enough to walk a little. 
She gained in flesh and strength rapidly. By the 
time she had used three boxes of the pills she 
was evidently well. We continued the treatment 
using another box, the fourth, to prevent the 
possioility of a recurrence of the difficulty. 
“ We cannot praise too highly the value of Dr. 
Williams’ Pink Pills. I am positive that without 
their use our child would have been a confirmed 
invalid.” 
(Signed) William H. Sturdivant.
