MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
BEVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MABKET8. 
The cooler weather has had a favorable effect on 
the markets all around; the demand has increased 
in nearly all lines, and business is more active. 
The wheat market has been rather dull, the price 
is low, but foreign markets are reported higher, 
and there is a scarcity of wheat for immediate 
shipment, so the market is in better shape al¬ 
though prices have not advanced materially. 
There is somewhat of an export demand for buck¬ 
wheat, and the price has gone a little higher. 
There is a fair export demand for corn, and the 
market is a little more brisk. Oats are a little 
more active in sympathy with the other grains. 
A good export demand for rye and an active 
trade. 
Potatoes have been in light receipt during the 
week, and with a good demand, the market is 
firm and prices higher. A larger proportion of 
the State and Jersey stock is of very poor quality, 
and does not bring very high figures. Sweet 
potatoes are more active, and the demand is 
good. Choice onions are doing better; still there 
is considerable poor stock on hand. There is a 
liberal supply of green corn and eggplants; other 
vegetables are not over plentiful and are selling 
well. 
The butter market is in a very firm, healthy 
situation. The local demand has been increas¬ 
ing, and sales have been good. Receipts are 
somewhat light, and it is unlikely that prices 
will be very much higher in the immediate future. 
Cheese is doing better, also, as there is an in¬ 
creased export demand, and some orders could 
not be filled because of the light receipts. In 
Boston, butter is reported steady at 20 to 21c. for 
northern, 19^4 to 20c. for western, 13V4 to 14c. for 
ladles; cheese firm at 7*4 to 8c. Chicago reports 
butter firm at 13 to 20c. for creamery, and 1154 to 
17c. for dairy. In Philadelphia butter is firm at 
20*4c. for fancy western creamery, and 21c. for 
prints. Butter is steady in St. Louis at 17 to 22c. 
for creamery, and 13 to 18c. for dairy. 
Nearly all choice fruits are doing better under 
increased demand and moderate receipts. Water¬ 
melons are about out of season. Plenty of gi’apes 
are coming in now from western New York. The 
peach market is not very active, but there is a 
moderate supply, and prices are well sustained. 
There is a light supply of plums with a good 
demand, and prices are firm. 
Receipts of live poultry have increased, but 
there is an active demand, and the market is 
steady. There is some accumulation of chickens, 
but good ones bring outside quotations. There 
is a very light supply of turkeys, and most of the 
ducks received are poor. There are lighter re¬ 
ceipts of dressed poultry, and there is a good de¬ 
mand; stiff, receivers look for increased quanti¬ 
ties which will be likely to depress prices some¬ 
what. Strictly fresh eggs are firm, although 
there are large quantities being used from the 
refrigerators. Chicago reports eggs steady at 
13 to 13*4c.; Cincinnati and St. Louis, at 13c.; 
Philadelphia, at 16*4c. for fresh nearby, and 15*4

We have received a few clubs, but they are all ridiculously 
small. Unless some one stirs himself, the prizes will be prac¬ 
tically gratuitous. Two or three days’ work would put any 
one in the lead at present writing. Remember that, besides 
the cash prizes above, we allow a big commission, and send 
a $2 daily prize every night to the sender of the largest club 
for the day. So far these daily prizes usually amount to more 
than the remittance for the club that wins them. For example: 
Wednesday, the Largest Club was 10 Trials. 
Friday, the Largest Club was 12 Trials. 
The sender of each of these clubs got his $2 prize by return 
mail. At this writing there are just three weeks left. By 
the time you read this the time will be shorter. You see the 
way this money is going. If you want some of it, now is the 
time to act. Send a small club anyway. When you once 
get started, you may do more.

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.
