MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain markets are dull, in spite of the 
European rumors of war. The export demand is 
fairly good, but not sensational. Western weather 
is reported as bad for corn, and it is said that a 
drought continues in Texas, which retards wheat 
sowing, and will be likely to reduce the acreage. 
Foreign reports state that wheat seeding has 
made satisfactory progress in France. Rain is 
badly needed for the Indian wheat crop. Russia 
is in a satisfactory condition, while in the east¬ 
ern European countries, the weather has not been 
favorable to Fall seeding. Wheat opened at73)4c. 
and closed at 73)4c. Corn is quoted: No. 2 mixed, 
3794c.; No. 2 yellow, 38c.; No. 2 white, 39c. Oats are 
quiet; No. 2 white clipped, 31c. Rye is easy, but 
the export demand is limited; No. 2, 54c. Barley 
is held strongly; malting, 47 to 60c., delivered at 
New York; western feeding, 41)4 to 42c. An ad¬ 
vance of 254 c. per 100 pounds in freight rates on 
grain and grain products, has gone into effect 
from Chicago, Milwaukee and other lake ports to 
the eastern seaboard. 
□ The cheaper grades of butter are selling very 
slowly. Extra fresh, western creamery is firm 
at 23c. Occasional sales of special quality are 
reported a fraction higher, but these are few. 
The demand is fair for stock worth 22 to 22*4c., 
but grades from 21 c. downward are extremely 
dull. Bower grades of storage poods are very 
dull. The supply of large, full cream cheese is 
quite moderate, and though the demand gen¬ 
erally is limited, there is a firm feeling among 
holders. Fancy, large colored cheese is held at 
5% to 9c., some sales being made to home-trade 
buyers at 8%c. Small-sized, full cream is in fair 
demand for home trade, and is held firm at 9)4c. 
for fancy. The market in eggs is a little irregular 
as to the quality of stock. Receipts of fresh 
gathered are still comparatively light. Buyers 
at the top quotations are particular as to quality, 
and any stock that does not show a liberal supply 
of fresh collections, is objected to. Values for 
such are showing quite a wide range, from 22 c. 
for good quality downward. Southern eggs are 
reported as unsatisfactory in quality, and are 
moving slowly. Limed are in light supply and 
steady. 
Apples are received in moderate supply, and 
although trade is quiet, the market is firm for 
fancy grades, and steady on medium qualities; 
cheap apples, which may be sold for 81.50 to |2, 
sell very readily. Pears are moving slowly; 
strictly fancy meet with some demand, but the 
common kinds have a dull sale. Quinces are 
very quiet, although in light supply. Receipts 
of grapes are light, and fancy table fruit is 
scarce and wanted. Concords are inquired for, 
and appear to be scarce. Catawbas in trays 
move slowly. Cranberries continue to be firm, 
and extra fancy quality is held at a stiff price. 
The poultry market shows a fair demand for 
choice, heavy fowls and chickens, but the pro¬ 
portion of these is small, and there is a burden of 
ordinary and poor stock, which is urged for sale 
at poor figures. Turkeys show a decided weak¬ 
ness. Ducks and geese are more plentiful and 
weaker, in price. In dressed poultry, the re¬ 
ceipts are excessive. The stores are loaded down 
with stock, and the demand does not show any 
improvement. Bad weather during the latter 
part of the week aided this depression. Chickens 
are generally held at eight cents for dry-picked, 
and 7)4 to 8 c. for scalded, but fowls are greatly 
neglected, and seven cents is all that can be de¬ 
pended upon for average best grades. Spring 
turkeys are more plentiful, and sell slowly for 
weaker prices; only exceptionally fancy selec¬ 
tions exceed 10c. Old turkeys sell better than 
young, and are scarce. Eastern geese are firm, 
but western geese are not of desirable quality. 
Ducks are in liberal supply and sell slowly.

Our agents, apparently, have not yet waked up to the 
advantages of our new terms for subscription work. On 
Monday the $2 daily prize went to S. P. Kimball, New York, 
who sent only one new subscription. You see he got back 
more than double the money he sent, because he had a com¬ 
mission besides. Then every name he sends will count for 
the big prizes February 1 next. On Friday, no one sent a 
club, so we were not able to send the daily prize to any one. 
A half day’s work probably would have won the prize any 
day last week. This is suggestive of the opportunities for

You cannot afford to let your stock suffer during the cold winter months. Perhaps you 
cannot afford to shingle and clapboard your barns and outbuildings, although you know they need 
it. But you can afford to cover and sheath them with NEPONSET. It costs only one-third the 
price of shingles, and will wear for years and years. NEPONSET is absolutely waterproof, frost¬ 
proof, air-tight, and vermin proof. You really cannot afford to be without it. You can protect 
your hen-houses, green-houses, hot-beds, and stables with NEPONSET for very little money, and 
in doing so you make money. Write us about it anyway. A postal card will do.
