MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
KKVIJCW OF THK WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain market has shown little change dur¬ 
ing the week. There have been slight ups and 
downs, but no great changes, although the week 
ends with the markets a little stronger and prices 
well sustained. There lias been quite heavy 
buying of wheat for shipment to the Continent. 
Spain is reported to be buying our wheat through 
Portugal. The (lour trade is dull, exporters re¬ 
porting very few orders. There has been con¬ 
siderable export demand for rye, and the market 
Infirm. Barley is dull. The first of the new crop 
of Alsike clover seed has just been received from 
Ohio, but lias not yet been offered for sale and 
no prices are mentioned. In Chicago, cash quota¬ 
tions for grain are as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 
old, 80c.; No. 3 Spring wheat, old, 75 to 82c.; No. 2 
red, new, 75c.; No. 2 corn, 32 to 82*£c.; No. 2 yellow 
corn, 32 to 32*/4c.; No. 2 oats, 23c.; No. 2 white, 
2(5*4 to 20%c.; No. 3 white, 25 to 2(5c.; No. 2 rye. 4(5 
to 4(5|4c.; No. 2 barley, 31 to 34c. 
The butter market has manifested consider¬ 
able firmness under somewhat lighter receipts 
for strictly fancy, fresh creamery. Considerable 
butter has been received that Is in bad condition, 
and this sells considerably under quotations. 
Receipts of butter from New York State are con¬ 
siderably larger. There is only a moderate de¬ 
mand for State dairy. Cheese generally shows 
up in fine condition. The reports from the other 
shle are of higher prices; exporters are doing a 
fair trade, so that the market is in good condition, 
and is fairly well cleaned up. There is an extra 
good demand for small-sized, colored cheeses, 
while small-sized white have little outlet. There 
is a fair demand for skim cheese, mostly from 
the home trade. In Boston, butter is reported 
steady at 17 to 17*4e. for western; imitation 
creamery, 13 to 14c.; ladles, 13c.; cheese steady 
at 7 to 7*4c. Chicago reports a brisk demand for 
butter at 12 to l(5c. for creamery, and 11 to l3‘/ic. 
for dairy. Philadelphia butter is firm at 17*4c. 
for fancy western creamery, and 19c. for prints. 
In St. Louis, butter is quiet at 14 to l(5*4c. for 
creamery, and 10 to 14c. for dairy. 
The poultry market has become very strong 
with the exception of chickens and turkeys. The 
live poultry market is well cleaned up and prices 
have advanced materially. Supplies of dressed 
poultry are very light, hardly sufficient for the 
regular trade, so the market is strong. There is 
practically no surplus, and many buyers have 
been obliged to pay high prices in order to get 
their supplies. Fancy large chickens are very 
scarce. Spring ducks are in excess, and the 
market is dull with a tendency toward still lower 
prices. 
There is a good demand in this market for new 
apples of good quality, and those very closely 
assorted would exceed quotations; still, there is 
a surplus of poor stock. Le Conte pears are very 
dull and sell slowly; there is a very liberal supply 
of peaches; few plums are arriving, but there is 
little demand for them; South Carolina grapes 
meet with a fair demand if of good quality. Ber¬ 
ries are in fair demand, and the supply is about 
equal to the demands upon it. Watermelons are 
selling better, and very tine ones will exceed 
quotations; almost all the muskmelons offered 
are of ordinary or poor stock. Sales of evapor¬ 
ated apples are slow, but there is a speculative 
demand for Fall deliveries in anticipation of a 
light, crop of fruit this year. The new crop of 
dried small fruits i i selling slowly at extremely 
low prleeH.

QUO VADIS. 
This is, no doubt, the grandest his¬ 
torical romance of the century. It is a 
tale of the time of Nero, and gives an 
intensely graphic description of the cus¬ 
toms and daily life in Rome during his 
time. We see Rome in opulence, with 
her mercenary politicians and alien rab¬ 
ble. We follow the great apostles Peter 
and Paul in their daily ministrations 
among the early Christians, and learn 
from the purity and sanctity of their 
lives the secret of the rapid growth of 
the new religion of charity and love. 
We witness their trials and sufferings, 
and martyrdom. We see the gladiatorial 
combats, and realize the iniquities and 
rottenness of the empire, which fore¬ 
shadow its certain fall. The author is 
the Polish Henryk Sienkiewicz, and the 
translation has been done with great 
care into the clearest English. It has 
had the greatest sale of modern books. 
Price, in cloth, postpaid, 75 cents; paper, 
25 cents. The paper edition will he sent 
free for one subscription to The R. N.-Y.,

does an endless variety of art and fancy 
weaving better, easier and quicker thaii 
by any other way. Full directions ac¬ 
company each machine. When a lady 
has once used this little machine, she 
would not do without it for any con¬ 
sideration. We will send it postpaid for 
$1, or for two new yearly subscriptions 
at Si each. All money returned if not 
satisfied.
