MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The week opened with a holiday, but the first 
day on which any business was transacted, 
Tuesday, the grain markets were dull and lower. 
This was caused by better crop reports and lower 
foreign markets. The western estimates of crop 
damage have been reduced. Grain prices be¬ 
came a little higher during the week, but at the 
end of the week, declined slightly with the market 
weak. The market has not yet recovered its nor¬ 
mal tone on wheat, still is gradually settling 
down from the demoralization caused by the 
Leiter fiasco. Flour is a little more active under 
lower prices. In Chicago, cash quotations for 
grain are as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 80c.; 
No. 3 Spring, 76 to 81c.; No. 2 red, 85c.; No. 2 
corn, 32)4c.; No. 2yellow, 'S2% to 32)£c.; No. 2 oats, 
22%c.; No. 2 white, 26c.; No. 3 white, 25c.; No. 2 
rye, 44c.; No. 2 barley, 31 to 35c. 
The market for dairy products is somewhat 
lower under heavier receipts and only moderate 
buying. The lower prices, however, have started 
speculative buyers, and this will have a tend¬ 
ency to relieve the market. At the end of the 
week, also, the receipts were somewhat lighter, 
which made the market firmer. In cheese, the 
market has become dull, and prices quite a little 
lower. The trouble, however, with a large part 
of the receipts is that they are off in quality, 
hence of uncertain value. Skim cheese are espe¬ 
cially low. Boston reports butter steady at 17c. 
for northern; 16J4 to 17c. for western; 13 to 14c.for 
imitation; 13c. for ladles; cheese firm at 7% to 8c. 
for northern, and 7*4c. for western. In Chicago, 
the butter market was reported steady at 13)4 to 
16c. for creameries and 11 to 13c. for dairies. 
Philadelphia reports butter steady at 17c. for 
fancy western creamery, and 18c. for prints. In 
St. Louis, the butter market is quiet at 14 to 16)4c. 
for creamery, and 10 to 14c. for dairy. Milk in 
this market has been advanced to 2c. per quart, 
net, to the shipper. 
The poultry market is extremely dull, especially 
for chickens, of which there has been a large 
accumulation from the West. The price of the 
latter has declined quite heavily. Only fancy 
lots will exceed our quotations, and sales are 
extremely slow. Considerable quantities of 
dressed poultry have gone into the refrigerators. 
Receipts of fancy, fresh eggs are light,and hardly 
sufficient to meet the requirements of trade; but 
this gives the cold storage eggs a chance, and 
these are beiDg used to a considerable extent. 
In Chicago, eggs are reported fair at 10)4c. for 
fresh; in Cincinnati, dull at 9c.; Philadelphia, 
firm at 13c. for nearby fresh; 12*4c. for western; 
11c. for southern; St. Louis reports eggs steady 
at 9c, loss off. 
Evaporated fruits are dull at somewhat lower 
prices for apples. It is reported that new State 
evaporated raspberries are offered to arrive at 
10c. There are some southern green apples arriv¬ 
ing, but mostly of indifferent quality. Other 
southern fruits are in fair supply. There is a 
small supply of cherries. Strawberries are nearly 
out of market. Raspberries are generally below 
prime quality. Currants are firm with a demand 
for fancy. Watermelons are in heavier receipt. 
There is a good demand for peaches, and the 
market has improved slightly; a demand for 
plums of good quality.

GOLD WATCH FOR $9.50. 
WALTHAM AND ELGIN. 
This is the greatest bargain in watches 
that we ever struck. We do not expect ever 
to get another lot of as good watches at the 
price. We have only a limited number of 
these now. They are in high-grade, gold- 
filled cases warranted to wear for 15 years. 
The case is made from two sheets of solid 
gold rolled out with a sheet of heavier metal 
between, to make the case stiffer and more 
durable, and is an excellent protection for 
the works. The works contain all the latest 
improvements, including seven jewels, com¬ 
pensation balance, safety pinion, patent 
regulator, porcelain dials, and are stem¬ 
winding and stem-setting. The watch has 
an open face with heavy beveled glass crystal, 
and with screw hack and front, and patent 
inside dust band, making a complete dust- 
proof case. We guarantee this watch in 
every way, and will return money to any one 
not satisfied. But there is no danger of any 
one not being satisfied. It’s a great bargain. We 
send it by registered mail, postpaid for $9.50. We 
include a year's subscription for $10, or we will send 
it free for a club of 25 yearly subscriptions at $1 each. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
A Watch for the 
Women Folk. 
We have wanted to get hold of a good cheap watch 
for Rural girls and women folk, hut never succeeded 
until now. Here it is, fully warranted. Nickel case 
and movement, jeweled, stem-wind and set. Price, 
with handsome chatelaine pin, as shown in cut, $3.50, 
or we will send it and one yearly subscription to The 
R. N.-Y. for $4, or we will send it free for a club of 10 
yearly subscriptions at $1 each. This is an oppor¬ 
tunity for the girls to show their enterprise. It also 
affords a way for the boys to do something nice for 
the sister. A club of 10 may be raised in a short time, 
and the watch makes a nice present for the mother 
or sister.
