The wheat market opened stronger early in the 
week, and has continued fair with some advance 
in prices at the close. There has been consider¬ 
able buying for export, and more wheat is report¬ 
ed on the way to market. Corn has also been 
steady and the export trade larger. In Chicago, 
Cash quotations are as follows: No. 3 Spring 
wheat, 70 to 72c.; No. 2 red, 74 to 75c.; No. 2 corn, 
83 to 3344c.; No. 2 yellow corn, 33*4 to 3334c.; No. 
2 oats, 2244c.; No. 2 white oats, 27 to 2814c.; No. 3 
white oats, 25*4 to 27c.; No. 2 rye, 4414c.; No. 2 
barley, 36 to 44c. 
There has been little change in the butter mar¬ 
ket during the week, prices being maintained, 
and trade in good condition. Receipts are de¬ 
creasing, and dealers seem to have confidence, 
especially in the best grades. Cheese has ad¬ 
vanced somewhat in price under lighter receipts, 
and the market is firm. Boston reports butter 
steady at 1944c. for northern and western; 14 to 
15c. for imitation; 13*4c. for ladles; cheese firm 
at 7*4 to 8c. In Philadelphia, butter is firm and 
in good demand at 20c. for fancy creamery, and 
22c. for prints. St. Louis reports butter firm at 
11 to 20c. for creamery and 14 to 17c. for dairy. 
Poultry is in only moderate receipt, but there 
is a larger proportion of fowls than of chickens, 
and the former are dull and weak, at somewhat 
lower prices; the quality is very irregular. There 
is beginning to be a good demand for prime tur¬ 
keys. Spring ducks are in as large supply as 
ever, and very dull and weak at low prices. Re¬ 
ceipts of live poultry are large, but the demand 
was active and the market brisk. Eggs show 
little change in price, although the supply of 
strictly fresh eggs is light. In Cincinnati, eggs 
are quoted at 9c.; Philadelphia, 14 to 1444c. for 
nearby, and 12 to 14c. for southern and western; 
St. Louis, 12c., loss off.

THE LEVIN PRUNER. 
This is the best pruner that has yet been made. It will cut one-half inch dry 
branch. It is made of the best 
steel, and cuts smooth and clean 
as a knife, but faster and, of 
course, easier. It is an article 
that every person who owns a 
tree or shrub or vine needs. We 
have secured a new lot at a bar¬ 
gain, and can furnish them to 
subscribers now at 50 cents each, 
postpaid; or with one new subscription and 25 cents extra; or we will send it free 
for a club of two yearly subscriptions. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
A PORTABLE HARNESS 
SHOP. 
This is simply a strong chest, and con¬ 
sists of a good knife, an adjustable sew¬ 
ing awl haft, a saddler’s straight awl, a 
saddler’s bent awl, a wrench, a paper of 
harness needles, a ball of linen harness 
thread, a ball of shoemaker’s wax, a box 
of bifurcated rivets, with a “set” for 
holding rivet while you drive it in, and 
SHOP CLOSED WITH CLAMP&TO0LS 
-35 PACKED INSIDE. =— 
a file, suitable for mending harness. The 
clasp for holding the harness fastens 
into the socket shown on one end of the 
box. Every man who has a harness to 
mend will appreciate the value of this 
set of tools. Price $2, or we will send it 
free for a club of four new subscriptions 
at Si each, or for two new subscriptions 
and SI extra. 
The Rural New-Yorker. New York. 
A DARNING MACHINE. 
This is the only successful darning 
machine we ever saw. We have tried 
others that were absolutely of no value. 
This one is little short of perfect. It 
enables you to mend underwear, stock¬ 
ings, curtains, table linens, clothing, and 
does an endless variety of art and fancy 
weaving better, easier and quicker than 
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 
SI, or for two new yearly subscriptions 
at $1 each. All money returned if not 
satisfied. 
The Rural New-Yorker, New York. 
HANDSOME PHOTOGRAPH 
HOLDER. 
You, no doubt, have a photograph of a 
dear friend which you wish to preserve 
and honor. You would like a handsome 
holder to keep it in. This is just what 
you want. It is large enough for a full- 
sized cabinet. Silver-plated, and hand¬ 
somely engraved and decorated. It will 
stand on table or shelf, or may be hung 
on the wall. We will send it postpaid 
for a club of three yearly subscriptions 
at SI each, or for one new subscription 
at SI, and Si extra for the holder, mak¬ 
ing S2 for both. This holder is very 
handsome, and will do fitting honor to 
the picture of any friend. 
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 fail. 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 be sent 
free to any one who sends one subscription 
to The R. N.-Y. for a neighbor with $1.
