HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The wheat market opened much more active 
early in the week. There were demands for ex¬ 
port from both Great Britain and the Continent. 
Corn, however, was dull. On Tuesday, the mar¬ 
ket was a little off on heavy receipts in the 
Northwest, notwithstanding the large export de¬ 
mand. There were, also, good purchases of corn 
and rye. On Wednesday, the market became very 
dull because of the dropping out of the export 
buyers. This condition continued during the 
latter part of the week, although there was not 
much of a falling off in prices. Wheat absorbed 
most of the attention. In Chicago, cash quota¬ 
tions were as follows: No. 3 Spring wheat, 63 to 
67c.; No. 2 red, 69c.; No. 2 corn, 32*4 to 32%c.; No. 
2 yellow corn, 32)4 to 32*4c.; No. 2 oats, f. o. b., 
25>4 to 26c.; No. 2 white, f. o. b., 29c.; No. 3 white, 
f. o. b., 26!4 to 28c.; No. 2 rye, 5154c.; No. 2 barley 
f. o. b., 36 to 48c. 
The poultry market is in fair shape. The out¬ 
look is good for desirable qualities of turkeys 
and chickens, but fowls are dull, and ducks 
plentiful and selling for low prices. There is an 
excessive supply of live poultry, and consequent 
weakness in prices. The supply of fresh-gath¬ 
ered eggs is small, and prices are higher. In 
other cities, prices are about as follows: Balti¬ 
more, firm, at 22 to 23c.; Chicago, fresh, 20 to 
20*4c; Cincinnati, firm, at 18c.; Philadelphia, 
firm, fresh nearby, 23c.; western, 21 to 22c.; 
southwestern, 19 to 20c.; southern, 19c.; St. Louis, 
steady, at 18c. 
The condition of the butter market has shown 
little change. There is a moderate trade, and 
supplies of the best grades are not large. There 
is a surplus of inferior grades, and prices of 
these are dull. The demand for cheese was 
light, but offerings were very limited, so the 
market was firm In Boston, butter was firm; 
northern, 21 >4c.; western, 21c.; imitation, 15 to 
16c. ladles, 14c.. Cheese firm; northern, 9 to 
9*4c.; western, 9 to 9*4c. In Chicago, the but 
ter market was steady; creameries, 14 to 22c.; 
dairies 12*4 to 19c.; cheese quiet, 8 to 9%c. Phila¬ 
delphia reports butter steady; fancy western 
creamery, 23c; fancy prints, 24c. In St. Louis, 
butter steady; creamery, 19 to 23c.; dairy, 15 to 20c.

To Club-Raisers. 
This week, we simply wish to say that club-raisers are 
missing opportunities by not doing more work this month. 
Any one who had put in his whole time this month, and sent 
a report every night, would have taken the $2 daily prize every 
day with ordinary work. The clubs have all been small. No one 
has been working at it for a business. Just a few names picked 
up now and then have constituted the whole work. One day 
last week, there was no club received at all. One name sent 
by an agent would have received the prize that day. It is a 
good time to get to work. Every name will count now for the 
big prizes February 1. 
Many of our old subscribers, who do not set out to raise 
clubs, but simply send a new name now and then, continue to 
send lists that aggregate large numbers in the course of a 
month. Sometimes these seem to be paid for by old subscrib¬ 
ers in order to get the neighbor interested. Here is a sample 
from a Pennsylvania man. He says : 
Inclosed find one dime for The R. N.-Y. to January, 1899. Send it to 
-. He is always borrowing mine, and I want him to become 
one of your regular subscribers. 
That is one way of keeping your copy home. A farmer with 
sense enough to borrow The R. N. -Y. to read, is pretty sure 
to want it regularly, when he has had it for a while. An agent 
would have no trouble to get that man’s subscription every 
year. It is, probably, the trouble of writing a letter that has 
kept his name off the list in the past. Agents should look 
after the borrowers. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
$50 Sewing Machine for $19.50. 
WITH ONE YEAR’S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE R. N.-Y., 820. 
We should be sorry if any reader of The R. N.-Y. in any part of the country 
should pay $40 or $50, or even $25 or $30 for a sewing machine. We would be sorry 
because we can send him just as good a machine as is made for $19.50. The finish 
and appearance and attachments are in 
every way equal to the best machines 
made. We will send it ON TRIAL, freight 
paid, and you may return it at our ex¬ 
pense, if you are not satisfied; you shall 
be the judge yourself. We shall sell them 
at this price only to subscribers. We have 
sold thousands of these machines to sub¬ 
scribers, and we have never bad one re¬ 
turned. Several families in connection 
with The R. N.-Y. have them ; that is why 
we can praise them so highly. 
For $19.50, we will send the machine to 
any subscriber, freight paid to any address 
east of the Rocky Mountains. For $20, we 
include a year’s subscription. After a fair 
trial, we will return the money and pay 
freight both ways, if you are not satisfied. 
We will send it for a club of 10 subscriptions at $1 each, and $15 extra.
