THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The wheat market opened stronger at higher 
prices at the beginning of the week, because of 
small shipments and talk of war abroad which 
influences the European countries to increase 
their stocks of breadstuffs. Corn followed wheat 
in the upward tendency. The markets in the 
West during the early part of the week were re¬ 
ported unsettled, but the export trade here kept 
business lively and prices advancing slowly. The 
European countries have taken all the corn and 
most of the wheat offered them. Great Britain, 
also, is stocking up. At the close of the week 
there was a smaller export demand; still, the 
market held firmly to the higher prices. Prices 
of beans are a little lower under light demands 
and plentiful supply. Chicago cash quotations 
are as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 62*4 to 65c.; 
No. 2 red wheat, 66 to 67c.; No. 2 corn, 30% to 
30%c.; No. 2 oats, 21% to 22c.; No. 2 white oats, 
22% to 25c.; No 2 rye, 49%c.; No. 2 barley, 34% 
to 45c. 
The butter market has been brisk through the 
week, and prices on the best grades are some¬ 
what higher than one week ago. In the lower 
grades, there has been little change, and supplies 
are fully equal to demands. It is reported that 
22c. has been offered for butter that scored 95 
points or above. Cheese has shown little change, 
although the tendency is fora little higher prices. 
Potatoes are in liberal supply with a moderate 
demand, and prices continue low. Sweet potatoes, 
also, are plentiful, the market weak, and prices 
low. There seems an improvement in the qual¬ 
ity of the onions received, and prices are some¬ 
what higher. Almost all other vegetables are in 
liberal supply and show no improvement in price. 
The poultry market is in considerably better 
shape than one week ago, and prices are better. 
The weather has been more favorable for hand¬ 
ling dressed poultry, and the demand is Im¬ 
proved. Nearly everything in the poultry line 
that is choice sells quickly at good prices. There 
is a good demand, also, for live fowls, but chick¬ 
ens are plentiful. Eggs are somewhat higher, 
and there is a light supply of fresh ones. There 
seems to be considerable trouble with lower 
grades. 
Fruits this week have been in large supply 
with the exception of fancy table apples and 
choice peaches. Grapes are coming in more 
slowly, and show a little improvement. A

ONLY IO CENTS. 
Last week, we announced that we had now concluded to 
send The Rural New-Yorker every week for the remainder 
of this year to new subscribers for the small sum of 10 cents. 
We repeat it now for the benefit of those who overlooked the 
large stock of cranberries is reported on hand, 
and holders are anxious to sell, resulting in 
lower prices. Choice table pears are wanted at 
good prices, but others sell slowly. Large quan¬ 
tities of fruits have rotted down completely the 
past week, probably the result of the hot weather 
of the previous week.

And yet, when you think 
of it, what could you expect? 
Three score years of wear

the digestion weak. Yet the 
body must be fed. 
In Scott’s Emulsion, the 
work is all done; that is, 
the oil in it is digested, all 
ready to be taken into the 
blood. The body rests,

While the prizes may seem small, the time is short. No

$50 5 ewing 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 be 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 subscription. 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.
