MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The wheat market was very unsettled early in 
the week, hut more buying for export gave it a 
firmer tone for a little time; but it continued 
weaker than in the preceding week. Prices of 
wheat are somewhat lower than one week ago, 
and other grains showed little change. The ex¬ 
port demand at the end of the week for wheat 
was very small, but corn continued firm, and 
prices well maintained. In Chicago, cash quota¬ 
tions were as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 66*4 
to 68c.; No. 3 Spring wheat, 64 to 67c.; No. 2 red 
wheat, 67)4 to 70c.; No. 2 corn, 3214c ; No. 2 oats, 
23% to 24%c.; No. 2 white oats, 26)4 to 2714c.; No. 
3 white oats, 2514 to 2614c.; No. 2 rye, 51%c.; No. 
2 barley, 33 to 48c. 
The butter market here is firm, cooler weather 
being favorable, but the demand does not im¬ 
prove materially. Prices are slightly higher for 
the best grades than one week ago. Cheese shows 
little change,there being very little export buying. 
Boston reports butter firm at 22c. for northern ; 21 
to 2114c. for western; 15 to 16c. for imitation; 14c. 
for ladles; cheese is steady at 9 to 914c. In Chi¬ 
cago, dairy butter is 12 to 19c.: creamery, 14 to 
21c.; cheese. 7% to 9%c. In St. Louis, creamery 
butter is 19 to 24c.; dairy, 16 to 21c. 
The poultry market both for live and dressed 
is well supplied, and prices are'lower, with the 
market closing weak. Eggs are firmer, and 
strictly fresh very scarce, with higher prices 
probable. In Chicago, eggs are worth 17 to 18c.; 
in Cincinnati, 14c., and St. Louis, 15c. 
There is a moderate supply of fancy apples; a 
fair supply of pears; a light supply of quinces; 
smaller arrivals of grapes of very irregular 
quality, with Delawares scarce, and a light stock 
of cranberries.

For Club Raisers. 
During the last two months, we have received in round numbers just about 
15,000 trial subscriptions that will expire January 1. In addition to these we, 
probably, have 20,000 yearly subscriptions that expire on the same date. Probably 
not all of these 35,000 readers will renew for the succeeding year, but for the old 
ones that drop out, we expect and hope to get new names to take their place. We 
must necessarily get many of these renewals direct, but we want our old friends 
and club raisers to look after their old clubs, and we shall welcome all efforts of 
old and new friends to enlarge the clubs in their neighborhoods. Of course, we 
expect to pay for the time and trouble and expense of doing this work. 
FIRST, the usual commission will be allowed on every name sent in, whether 
for a new subscription or renewal of an old one.

This makes a total of 126 prizes—47 at the end of the contest, and 79 daily prizes 
All names received between November 1, 1898, and February 1, 1899, will count. 
As a further inducement to assist agents in increasing their clubs, we will now 
send the paper every week from the time the subscription is received up to 
January 1, 1900, for the regular yearly subscription price, $1. This contest is laid 
out for the best subscription season of the whole year. 
So far this has been the best subscription season The R. N.-Y. has ever had. 
We have every encouragement to hope that the remainder of the season will be 
equally as good. The contrast between The Rural New-Yorker and the ordinary 
farm paper was never before so apparent as now, never so. generally appreciated. 
While they have been weakening, The R. N.-Y. has grown and strengthened in 
every way. It has grown and improved and prospered during the worst years of 
business depression the country has ever known. The wonder of publishers as 
well as readers has been that it was possible to publish a weekly paper of this 
character for $1 a year. No matter what other publishers claim, they know that 
the paper and printing and illustrations and editorial matter, all of which is 
original, costs at least double the same items of any other farm paper in the 
country. 
We believe we are to-day sending out more papers to paid subscribers than any 
other weekly farm paper in the Western Continent. We say this in no spirit of boast¬ 
fulness, with no purpose to discredit other worthy farm papers. We have honestly 
tried to do our part, and by paying prompt cash for all supplies, buy to the best 
advantage, and have no debts ; but with all this, the credit for the success of the 
paper is more due to our subscribers and friends than to ourselves. Besides their 
own subscriptions, more than 7,000 friends have sent subscriptions of their 
neighbors, in clubs large and small, during the past five years. This tangible 
evidence of good will and helpfulness on their part is largely responsible for the 
paper’s success. It is this ever-increasing subscription list that makes possible the 
reduction of cost of each subscription each succeeding year, and enables us to pay 
the highest authorities in the country for the best information obtainable on farm, 
fruit and garden subjects. 
Our friends often write us encouragingly of our efforts to make a reliable farm 
paper. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation of their cooperation. 
It has not all been sunshine and approval. We have made mistakes. We have 
had complaints, some just and some, we thought, unjust. But the continued 
favor of old friends—some for fully half a century—with the ever-increasing new 
ones, encourage us to hope that our efforts have not, in the main, been unappreciated. 
We look for an increased subscription list during the next three months, and 
shall be glad to furnish terms, samples and supplies to any one who will make an 
effort to get up a club in his neighborhood.
