MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
BKVIKW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
Wheat prices broke early in the week, follow¬ 
ing a decline in export demand. The truth of the 
matter is that markets and prices have been so 
unsettled lately that it has disturbed business, 
and buyers are waiting for a more settled market 
and stable prices before doing much buying. 
The week closed with prices somewhat high, mar¬ 
ket dull. Corn is stronger, at somewhat advanced 
prices. Oats made a sharp advance, and there 
was considerable export inquiry for rye. Chicago 
gives the following cash quotations: No. 2 
Spring wheat, 96 to 97c.; No. 3 wheat, 90c. to 81; 
No. 2 red, 81.03; No. 2 corn, 33*4c.; No. 2 yellow 
corn, 33*4 to 34c.; No. 2 oats, 26c.; No. 2 white, 
29c.; No. 3 white, 28c.; No. 2 rye, 45)4c.; No. 2 
barley, 34 to 36c. 
The butter market is firmer, and the demand 
has increased sufficiently to take up most of the 
receipts, which have been liberal. Considerable 
stock has gone into cold storage. Receipts of 
cheese are moderate, but prices continue low. 
Markets of other cities are as follows: Boston, 
butter quiet; northern, 17 to 17*4c.; western, 17c.; 
imitation, 13 to 13*4c.; ladles, 13c. Cheese steady; 
northern, 7 to 7*4o.; western, 7c. Chicago, butter 
market firm; creameries, 13 to 15J4c; dairies, 11 
to 13c, Philadelphia, butter firm; fancy western 
creamery, 17c.; do prints, 17c. St. Louis, butter 
slow; creamery, 13*4 to 14c.; dairy, 9)4 to 13*4c.

A FARM LUXURY. 
No person, whether rich or poor, in 
city or country, can have a cheaper or 
more delicious luxury than a plate of 
icecream made right on the farm with 
all its smoothness and richness, and 
freshness and delicacy. We have never 
seen a sample of the city product to com¬ 
pare with that made on the farm. All 
that you need to make it is a little ice 
and a four-quart White Mountain freezer. 
We can get the freezer for you, so that 
it will cost you very little. Get one of 
your neighbors to give you a dollar for 
a year’s subscription to The Rural New- 
Yorker, send his name and address and 
552.25, and we will have the freezer sent 
you at once. Your neighbor will get 
the paper for a year, and you may throw 
in a treat of your first make of cream. 
The freezer is made by the White 
Mountain Freezer Co., Nashua, N. H., 
and we know of nothing else so good. 
We will send it free for a club of six 
yearly subscriptions at 551 each. 
The Rural New-Yorker, New York. 
QUO VADIS. 
This is, no doubt, the grandest his¬ 
torical romance of the century. It is a 
tale of the time of Nero, and gives an 
intensely graphic description of the cus¬ 
toms and daily life in Rome during his 
time. We see Rome in opulence, with 
her mercenary politicians and alien rab¬ 
ble. We follow the great apostles Peter 
and Paul in their daily ministrations 
among the early Christians, and learn 
from the purity and sanctity of their 
lives the secret of the rapid growth of 
the new religion of charity and love. 
We witness their trials and sufferings, 
and martyrdom. We see the gladiatorial 
combats, and realize the iniquities and 
rottenness of the empire, which fore¬ 
shadow its certain fall. The author is 
the Polish Henryk Sienkiewicz, and the 
translation has been done with great 
care into the clearest English. It has 
had the greatest sale of modern hooks. 
Price, in cloth, postpaid, 75 cents; paper, 
25 cents. The paper edition will be sent 
free for one subscription to The R. N.-Y., 
for $1.

bearings, and is the best made. Price, 
$2.50. Given for one new subscription 
at $1 and $1.50 extra ; or free for a club 
of six subscriptions at $1 each.
