THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
February S 
The Glub-Raisers 
who sent clubs of more than 10 and less 
than 20 names in the last contest, were 
very agreeably surprised with the size of 
the checks they received as their division 
of the $250. The checks were larger than 
they expected—very much larger. Our 
only answer is that there is more money 
to go out March 1, and every one who 
sends five or more names will share in it. 
We like the small clubs. That is why 
we make premiums for them. Can’t you 
work up a club of five right at your 
place? We think that you can. Will 
you try ?

MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
EE VIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The week opened with a brisk grain market for 
everything excepting buckwheat and oats. The 
market weakened somewhat, though, the follow¬ 
ing day, but still the export demand has con¬ 
tinued fair, and at the close of the week was con¬ 
siderably stronger. All grains seem to be affected 
about the same, going down and up together. 
Considerable wheat lias been sold for export via 
the Gulf ports, and some via Newport News. 
There was a big boom in the wheat market in 
Chicago on Thursday, but this was mostly by 
speculators, and had very little effect on cash 
sales, unless it be that the movement tended to 
strengthen the position and to give an upward 
tendency to prices. At the close of the week, the 
demand is strong all along the line. 
In the line of dairy products, the tendency 
seems to be towards lower prices. Supplies of 
milk and cream for this city have increased some¬ 
what, but the price remains stationary. The bet¬ 
ter grades of butter show no change, but there is 
a general tendency for slightly lower prices on 
inferior grades. There has been a slight falling 
off in the prices of the better grades of cheese. 
Receipts both of butter and cheese, are ample, 
and the demand only fair. There is little en¬ 
couragement for cheese exporters, so these are 
practically out of the market. 
Poultry prices generally are looking up, there 
having been an advance on almost everything 
excepting capons, which are a little lower. In 
capons, the demand is good for the large, fancy 
ones only, the supply being excessive of the me¬ 
dium and smaller sizes. The demand for live 
poultry is light. The receipts of eggs are quite 
large from the West and South, and prices show 
a further decline. 
Potatoes show little change, as there is a plen¬ 
tiful supply on hand, and demand is good. Most 
vegetables are doing well. Strictly choice south¬ 
ern vegetables are in good demand, often at ex¬ 
treme prices, but the larger part of the receipts 
are of poor quality, and drag in the market. 
There are not very large receipts of apples, 
and the demand is good for the fancy qualities. 
Other fruits show little change; grapes continue 
dull; stocks of cranberries are reported light; 
choice oranges are in good demand; a few straw¬ 
berries are arriving and bring good prices; hot¬ 
house products are doing well when choice.
