MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THB WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The wheat market opened strong early in the 
week, and has continued so throughout. There 
has been considerable export demand with a 
scarcity of wheat on the spot. There has, also, 
been an advance in ocean freights, which would 
have a tendency to keep prices from advancing 
so much as they otherwise might. About the 
middle of the week, prices advanced somewhat, 
but this tended to check the export demand. 
There is a good demand, also, for rye and corn, 
while oats are not at all active, and barley is 
being taken slowly. Chicago reports cash prices 
as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 83 to 6554c.; No. 
2 red, 66%c.; No. 2 corn, 30 to 3054c.; No. 2 oats, 
22 to 22J4c.; No. 2 white oats, 24 to 2454c.; No. 2 
rye, 49c.; No. 2 barley, 33 to 42c. 
The butter market has been firm during the 
week, and prices are a little higher than one 
week ago. The demand at the end of the week is 
a little quieter, but there has been no accumula¬ 
tion of stocks, and the market seems to be in a 
good, healthy condition. No speculative buying 
is reported. Cheese has advanced materially in 
price during the week, and as there is a good 
demand for export, and an active business being 
done, these prices are likely to be maintained. 
In this city, the markets for dairy products seem 
to be good. Boston reports butter steady at 2154c. 
for northern, 2054c. for western, 1554 to 16c. for 
imitation, 19c. for ladles; cheeselirm at 8 to 854c. 
In Chicago, the batter market is steady at 13 to 
20c. for creamery; 11 54 to 17c. for dairy, and 7 to 
754c. for cheese. The Philadelphia butter market 
is firm at 21c. for western creamery and prints. 
The green fruit market is in pretty good con¬ 
dition, taken as a whole. Receipts of apples are 
notiu excessive supply, and there is a scarcity of 
high-grade fruit suitable for table use. Small 
lots of such bring extreme prices. Winter varie¬ 
ties are moving slowly as yet, as the season is a 
little early for them. There are large receipts of 
pears, and the market is weak for everything but 
the choice grades. Peaches are selling better, as 
the supply was not large. Plums are the most in 
demand, probably, of any fruit, as the supply is 
not large. Delaware grapes are in moderate 
supply, but white varieties are dull, as are the 
blacks. There is an excessive quantity of bulk 
stock coming in trays, and receivers are crowd¬ 
ing it for sale. 
There is a fair supply of round potatoes, and 
the market is only moderately active; a good de¬ 
mand for sweet potatoes. Nearly all vegetables 
are in large supply, and prices are about as 
usual. 
The poultry market is in pretty good shape. In 
live poultry, the demand is active for chickens, 
with turkeys in light supply, but ducks and geese 
largely of poor quality, and selling slowly. In 
dressed poultry, there is an excess of chickens, a 
scarcity of fowls, a fair supply of turkeys, and 
an oversupply of ducks and geese. Eggs have 
advanced, and there is a good demand, especially 
for strictly fresh. In Baltimore, freBh eggs are 
selling at 16c.; Chicago, 14c.; Cincinnati, 13c.; 
Philadelphia, 16 to 17c.; St. Louis, 1254c.; loss off.

Last week we gave you the prizes in detail. We are also 
sending the $2 daily prizes every day for the largest club

GOLD WATCH FOR $ 9 . 50 . 
WALTHAM AND ELGIN. 
This is the greatest bargain in watches 
that we ever struck. We do not expect ever 
to get another lot of as good watches at the 
price. We have only a limited number of 
these now. They are in high-grade, gold- 
filled cases warranted to wear for 15 years. 
The case is made from t\vo sheets of solid 
gold rolled out with a sheet of heavier metal 
between, to make the case stilfer and more 
durable, and is an excellent protection for 
the works. The works contain all the latest 
improvements, including seven jewels, com¬ 
pensation balance, safety pinion, patent 
regulator, porcelain dials, and are stem¬ 
winding and stem-setting. The watch has 
an open face with heavy beveled glass crystal, 
and with screw back and front, and patent 
inside dust band, making a complete dust- 
proof case. We guarantee this watch in 
every way, and will return money to any one 
not satisfied. But there is no danger of any 
one not being satisfied. It’s a great bargain. We 
send it by registered mail, postpaid for 89.50. We 
include a year’s subscription for $10, or we will send 
it free for a club of 25 yearly subscriptions at $1 each. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
A Watch for the 
Women Folk. 
We have wanted to get hold of a good cheap watch 
for Rural girls and women folk, but never succeeded 
until now. Here it is, fully warranted. Nickel case 
and movement, jeweled, stem-wind and set. Price, 
with handsome chatelaine pin, as shown in cut, $3.50, 
or we will send it and one yearly subscription to The 
R. N.-Y. for $4, or we will send it free for a club of 10 
yearly subscriptions at $1 each. This is an oppor¬ 
tunity for the girls to show their enterprise. It also 
affords a way for the boys to do something nice for 
the sister. A club of 10 may he raised in a short time, 
and the watch makes a nice present for the mother 
or sister. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
$50 Sewing Machine for $19.50. 
WITH ONE YEAR’S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE R. N.-Y., $20. 
We should be sorry if any reader of The R. N.-Y. in any part of the country 
should pay $40 or $50, or even $25 or $30 for a sewing machine. We would he sorry 
because we can send him just as good a machine as is made for $19.50. The finish 
and appearance and attachments are in 
every way equal to the best machines 
made. We will send it ON TRIAL, freight 
paid, and you may return it at our ex¬ 
pense, if you are not satisfied; you shall 
be the judge yourself. We shall sell them 
at this price only to subscribers. We have 
sold thousands of these machines to sub¬ 
scribers, and we have never had one re¬ 
turned. Several families in connection 
with The R. N.-Y. have them ; that is why 
we can praise them so highly. 
For $19.50, we will send the machine to 
any subscriber, freight paid to any address 
east of the Rocky Mountains. For $20, we 
include a year’s subsex-iption. After a fair 
trial, we will return the money and pay 
freight both ways, if you are not satisfied. 
We will send it for a club of 10 subscriptions at $1 each, and $15 extra.
