MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
BKVIEW OF THK WEEK’S MABKETS. 
The wheat market went all to pieces on Mon¬ 
day. All other grains were lower in price in sym¬ 
pathy with wheat, but still there was not so much 
of a decline in price as with wheat. Exporters 
bought quite freely at the lower prices. The col¬ 
lapse of Leiter’s wheat deal seemed to unsettle 
the market completely, and the demoralization 
following the collapse has probably injured 
trade as much as his wheat deals have benefited 
it. The market has been unsettled all the week 
because no one seemed to know exactly where 
he was standing. Toward the end of the week, 
things began to settle somewhat, and the market 
became steadier. At the close, prices were some¬ 
what higher, and exporters were buying quite 
freely. In Chicago, cash quotations were as fol¬ 
lows: No. 2Spring wheat, 80 to 82c.; No. 3 Spring, 
77 to 79c.; No. 2 red, 88*4 to 90c.; No. 2 corn, 33 Vt 
to 3394c.; No. 2 yellow, 33*4 to 34c.; No. 2 oats, 
25‘/ 2 c; No. 2 white, 28*4 to 29c.; No. 3 white, 43 
to 43*4c.; No. 2 barley, 31 to 34c. Throughout the 
West, wheat in 30 days has declined all the way 
from 60 cents to $1 per bushel, and it is said that 
many millers who sold their wheat to Letter, 
and closed their mills, are now buying it back 
freely. 
The market for dairy products does not show 
very much change. The receipts of butter have 
been moderate, but fully equal to demands, so 
that the market is not at all brisk. The market 
is especially dull on State dairy and imitation 
creamery. Under existing conditions, prices are 
not likely to go any higher. Receipts of cheese 
continue moderate, but prices show no improve¬ 
ment, although the market is a little firmer. The 
quality of most of the cheese received is very de¬ 
fective in flavor, and sales of such are slow. 
Other leading markets report prices about as 
follows: Boston, butter steady ; northern, 17*4c.; 
western, 17 to 17)4c.; imitation, 13 to 13*4.; ladles, 
13c. Cheese, firm; northern, 7 to 7*4c.; western, 
7c. Chicago, butter market steady; creameries, 
13 to 15*4c.; dairies, 11*4 to 13*4c. Philadelphia, 
butter firm ; fancy western creamery, 17*4c.; do 
prints, 18c. St. Louis, butter quiet; creamery, 14 
to 16*4c.; dairy, 10 to 14c. 
The fruit market is liberally supplied with cher¬ 
ries, strawberries, huckleberries and blackber¬ 
ries. Raspberries are beginning to come in in 
considerable quantities, and gooseberries are 
almost a drug on the market. Watermelons and 
muskmelons from the South are plentiful, 
and there is a good demand for the choicest 
qualities, but many of the receipts are far below 
even medium quality. Peaches are more plenti¬ 
ful. California fruits, both cherries and apri¬ 
cots, are in liberal supply. A few old apples are 
yet in market, and some new ones arc coming in. 
The poultry market is dull with a liberal 
8upply> and prices tending downward. Receipts 
of live poultry have been heavy, and besides, 
there is a large accumulation with a light de¬ 
mand, so that large quantities are being carried 
over unsold. The egg market is firmer, receipts 
of fancy fresh eggs being comparatively light. 
Eggs are quoted as follows in other cities: Chi¬ 
cago, firm; fresh, 9)4c. Cincinnati, firm at 9c. 
Philadelphia, steady; fresh nearby, 12*4c., west¬ 
ern, 12*4c.; southern, 11c. St. Louis, steady at89ic.

A DARNING MACHINE. 
This is the only successful darning 
machine we ever saw. We have tried 
others that were absolutely of no value. 
This one is little short of perfect. It 
enables you to mend underwear, stock¬ 
ings, curtains, table linens, clothing, and 
does an endless variety of art and fancy 
weaving better, easier and quicker than 
by any other way. Full directions ac¬ 
company each machine. When a lady 
has once used this little machine, she 
would not do without it for any con¬ 
sideration. We will send it postpaid for 
SI, or for two new yearly subscriptions 
at SI each. All money returned if not 
satisfied. 
If you want to make sure of getting 
up at the right time in the morning, you 
will appreciate this alarm clock. It will 
go off at just the right time, and ring 
until you get up, and turn a lever and 
stop it. It is, besides, a nice appearing 
clock, nine inches high, cast-metal case 
finished in oxidized copper. Price, S3.30.

The 
T ruthful 
Differences 
between 
Cream 
Separators 
Fig. 2 
The cut on the left (Fig. 1) is that of the Improved United States Separator 
bowl. It illustrates the three compartments. The arrows show the triple 
course of the milk through the bowl. The long journey of the milk is the 
cause of its wonderfully clean separation. Its protecting patents prevent 
this method being used by other machines. It has but three compartments to 
clean. It is mounted in the most perfectly constructed and easiest running 
machinery known. It excels all others in every point. It has a capacity of 700 
lbs. per hour at 8,200 revolutions per minute. It is 5)4 inches at its greatest 
diameter. The Improved United States Separator holds the record for -the 
best average separation. 
The cut on the right (Fig. 2) is that of the cumbersome “disc” pattern. It 
has forty (40) discs or tin plates within the bowl. Its claimed capacity is 
700 lbs. per hour, but it falls short of this. It is 7 inches at its greatest diameter, 
which is at the top, which makes it top-heavy, and therefore gets out of bal¬ 
ance quickly. It claims to have a speed of 6,000 revolutions, but never will 
consent to make tests at that speed, but insists upon running from 7,700 to 9,000 
revolutions, which is an admission that it cannot do good work at its advertised 
low speed. 
The above cuts are drawn on same scale. Fig. 2 is over one-fifth larger in 
diameter, 
farther 
as fast as Fig. _ . 
speed of circumference when truthfully stated is faster than that of Fig. 1. 
It follows, then, that Fig. 1 runs easier than Fig. 2 ; it is smaller in diameter; it Is 
not as heavy, and does not have forty discs to shuck and get out of balance. 
The Improved United States Separator is so much superior that its com¬ 
petitor’s stock in trade seems to be to exaggerate and misrepresent—giving 
their speed much less than it is, and illustrating bowls that are smaller than 
theirs as nearly twice as large. 
The Improved United States Separator states things truthfully and stands 
by its printed instructions.
