THE RURAL 
NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
RKVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
Wheat Fseeins to be on a veritable boom. The 
price has not crone extravagantly high, still there 
has been a small and steady advance. The prime 
factor in the upward movement has been the 
wonderful export demand. For nearly two weeks, 
the sales of wheat for export have averaged more 
than 1,000,000 bushels daily. One day this week 
sales of nearly 2,000,000 bushels were reported. 
The rise in price does not seem, so far, to have 
affected the demand materially, as exporters are 
taking everything that is offered, even under high 
ocean freight rates. All the other grains have 
advanced, also, in sympathy with wheat, and 
sales for export of corn and rye have been heavy. 
Buckwheat, also, has met considerable export 
demand, but oats are not selling so largely for 
this trade, as the high freight rates are unfavor¬ 
able for the shipment of so bulky a grain. Clover 
seed is higher, and there is considerable export 
demand. In Chicago, cash quotations for grain 
are as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 67 to 68e.; 
No. 3 Spring wheat, 65 to 67J4c.; No. 2 red wheat, 
68*4 to 70c.; No. 2 corn, 32*4c.; No. 2 oats, 24e.; 
No. 2 white oats, 26 to 27c.; No. 3 white oats, 25 to 
26c.; No. 2 rye, 49)4c.; No. 2 barley, 32 to 45c. 
Butter has advanced slightly in price for the 
best creamery and dairy grades. There is a fair 
demand, and the supply is rather short, which 
causes a firm feeling. 
The poultry market is somewhat higher than 
one week ago, although it has been still higher 
during the week; but during the latter part of 
the week, receipts have been heavier, and de¬ 
mand only moderate, hence the market is less 
active than at the middle of the week. Choice 
Spring turkeys are scarce and very firm; very 
fine ones would command still higher prices than 
we quote. 
Receipts of potatoes have been very moderate 
during the past week, demand larger and the 
market firmer. Sweet potatoes are somewhat 
higher, although still selling for rather low 
prices. Choice onions are firm, but a consider¬ 
able part of the receipts show poor quality. 
There is a large supply of cabbages, egg plants, 
Lima beans, tomatoes, peppers, southern green 
peas, string beans, and a moderate supply of 
cucumbers, cauliflower and lettuce.

Illuminated Teachers’ Bible. 
The new Teachers’ Edition of the Illuminated Holy Bible is the most complete 
and handsomest Teachers’Bible in the world—the one best suited to the use of 
Sunday-school scholars and teachers. 
MOST COMPLETE, because it embodies all the essential special features that 
give value to the usual Teachers’ Bible, besides others of even greater educational 
importance, that no other Bible contains.

which not only beautify the volume, but must inevitably lead to a better under¬ 
standing of the Word and a closer intimacy with the living truths of Holy Writ. 
These beautiful pictures actually interpret and make more clear the exact meaning 
of the texts they illustrate, and will prove to be a source of endless inspiration 
alike to Bible students and Bible teachers. 
This book is not merely embellished ; it is truly and accurately illustrated. 
Other Bibles there are containing pictures ; none other m which the individual 
texts are actually illuminated, as though by the touch of inspiration. Comparison 
is impossible, for the new Bible stands alone— there is no other of its kind. Hence, 
praise of this superb new book means 
editions published heretofore.

no disparagement of the many excellent 
by Famous Bible Teachers. 
The “ Helps” in the new Teachers’ Bible 
were specially prepared under the direc¬ 
tion of Rev. A. F. SCHAUFFLER, D. D , 
Editor-in-Chirf, assisted by the most 
famous theologians and Bible scholars of 
America and Europe — men who are 
known throughout Christendom as the 
most learned in their several departments 
of Biblical study. These “Helps” are 
unique in conception, absolutely original, 
and confined to the actual essentials 
of Bible teaching and research. Every 
necessary point and topic is fully covered, 
and in the smallest possible space. There 
is not a superfluous word or line, yet 
every actual need of Bible student or 
Sunday-school worker is amply met and 
by a master-mind.

is of the popular 12mo size —5% inches wide by eight inches long when closed. It is 
substantially bound in excellent leather by the most improved process, which 
guarantees the greatest degree of strength and long wearing qualities. The plates 
are absolutely new and made from a peculiarly clear, readable type. In addition to 
the superb illustrations and the wonderful “ Helps,” the new Bible presents the 
following indispensable features : 
Self-Pronouncing Text 
Every proper name accented and 
diacritically marked, so that mis¬ 
pronunciation is practically impos¬ 
sible. 
Superior Concordance 
with contents, covering 107 triple¬ 
column pages—a marvel of skillful 
condensation and practical working 
value. 
Marginal References 
and VARIANT READINGS, more 
complete than in most Teachers’ 
Bibles—twice as extensive as in 
some popular editions. 
Maps in Colors 
newly engraved for this edition, 
and infinitely superior, in quality 
and mechanical execution, to those 
ordinarily in use. 
Every Sunday-school teacher actually needs this Bible; 
it is full of incentives to higher and better ideals. Every 
child in every home will learn to love and study the Sacred 
Word through the interest aroused by the glowing pic¬ 
tures. Every pastor may draw fresh inspiration from its 
pages, and be enabled to light up a thought or a text to 
the better fulfillment of his sacred mission. 
The Rural New-Yorker Bible Club 
is now being formed. Its members will be limited to 1,000 
When the club is full, no other members can be admitted. 
The club is organized with the purpose of securing for 
its members this elegant first edition of this Bible at 
wholesale price, which is about one-third of the publish¬ 
ers’ retail price. Sunday-School Superintendents and 
Teachers who are striving to make their labors more 
effective, will instantly appreciate the truly remarkable 
power of the unique, scholarly, and practical “ Helps” to 
Bible teaching and interpretation.
