MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The week opened very dull in the wheat mar¬ 
ket, ard continued in that condition until toward 
the end of the week, when it advanced somewhat. 
One cause of this was a reduction of 100,000,000 
bushels in the estimate of the coming crop. Still, 
prices continue low. In Chicago, cash quotations 
are as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, ?5c.; No. 3 
Spring wheat, 70 to 80c.; No. 2 red, 80c.; No. 2 
corn, 31 9£c; No. 2 yellow corn, 31% to 32c.; No. 2 
oats, 22*4c.; No. 2 white, 35 to 35%c.; No. 3 white, 
23*4 to 24c.; No. 2 rye, 44c.; No. 2 barley, 30 to 34c. 
The butter market here is developing a weaker 
tone at the end of the week. The weather is very 
hot and unfavorable for trade. The jobbers are 
buying no more than they need for immediate 
use, and there is very little speculation. While 
there has been no decline in prices, worth men¬ 
tioning, the tendency is in that direction. The 
cheese market, also, is weaker, and the tendency 
is downward. In other cities, the dairy markets 
are about as follows: Boston, butter firm, north¬ 
ern 17*4c ; western, 17 to 17*4c.; imitation, 13 to 
14c.; ladles, 13c.; cheese firm at 7 to 7*4c. Chi¬ 
cago, butter steady, creameries, 14 to 16c.; 
dairies, 11*4 to lS'/ic. Philadelphia, butter steady, 
fancy creamery, 16 to 17*4c. St. Louis, butter 
quiet, creamery, 16 to 16!4c.; dairy, 14 to 14*4c.

Tub movement against the use of the aniline 
dyes is growing. These coal tar substances are, 
beyond any doubt, poisonous when used in ordin¬ 
ary doses. When used in small quantities, they 
may not be injurious, but the danger comes from 
having them about where some ignorant person 
might take a large dose.

THE WEATHER IN WESTERN NEW YORK. 
I know of a few cases where Spring wheat has 
been sown, but not a half dozen in all—not 100 
acres all told in this county. One or two pieces 
are looking very well; we had the finest Spring I 
ever saw, and one field of this wheat was sown in 
March and now looks good for 25 bushels per acre. 
Many years ago a good many raised Spring 
wheat, and occasionally it gives a good crop, but 
on the whole it was so uncertain that its growth 
was abandoned. The trouble seemed to be that 
ordinarily It had to be sown so late that it rusted 
when ’most ready to harvest. 
It seems strange to us here in the garden 
county to hear what a miserable wet, cold, back¬ 
ward Spring they have had all around us anil 
in sunny New Jersey. Why we did not have a 
week of bad weather all the Spring. It opened 
warm in March and much sowing was done, and 
we greatly feared that vegetation would get so 
forward that a cold spell would ruin all; but 
April came in cold and continued cold, so that 
now vegetation is no more forward than usual 
at tliis season. Though the weather in April was 
cold it was nice fordoing Spring work, just wet 
enough to have the ground work nice, and so it 
has continued to this time. 
I never saw crops looking better; wheat is thick 
and nicely headed, and if nothing happen, we 
will have a large average yield. Orchard crops 
are not promising, except the crop of canker 
worms, and they are superabundant, and the 
worst of it is that the majority are doing noth¬ 
ing to destroy them. For miles and miles along 
the famoqs Ridge Road, more than two-thirds of 
the orchards are entirely denuded of leaves. It 
looks desolate. I am in favor of a law that shall 
compel every man to keep his orchards free from 
insects, or cut them dow-n. What more right has 
a man to keep an orchard to breed insects to 
curse his neighbor than to scatter smallpox or 
other contagious disease ? J. s. woodward.

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 
ice cream 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 Tiie Rural Nkw- 
Yorker, send his name and address and 
$2.25, 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. II., 
and we know of nothing else so good. 
We will send it free for a club of six 
yearly subscriptions at $1 each.

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 fail. 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 books. 
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.

A ZAR CAMERA FREE. 
You can get this camera without a cent, except postage. Send us one new 
subscription for a neighbor with his dollar 
and eight cents extra for postage, and we 
will send, you this camera by return mail. 
This picture was taken with the Zar camera; 
size, two inches square. It will take snap shot 
or time exposure pictures. Any child can learn 
to take a picture 
with it. With each 
camera we send six 
plates, and full in¬ 
structions. You are 
ready to take a 
picture the moment 
the camera reaches 
you. The price is $1, and it is equal to most cameras sold for $2 or more.

THE LEVIN PRUNER. 
This is the best pruner that has yet been made. It will cut one-half inch dry 
branch. It is made of the best 
steel, and cuts smooth and clean 
as a knife, but faster and, of 
course, easier. It is an article 
that every person who owns a 
tree or shrub or vine needs. We 
have secured a new lot at a bar¬ 
gain, and can furnish them to 
subscribers now at 50 cents each, 
postpaid; or with one new subscription and 25 cents extra; or we will send it free 
for a club of two yearly subscriptions.
