MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain markets were stronger, though quiet, 
early in the week, and prices are somewhat 
higher than one week ago. There is a continued 
export demand, especially for wheat and corn. 
Offerings here and in the West are lighter, and 
receipts have also grown lighter, the latter due 
to the interruption of railroad traffic by snow 
blockades in the Northwest. The market iB in 
good shape, with the higher prices well sus¬ 
tained. In Chicago, cash quotations were about 
as follows: No. 2 Spring wheat, 63 to 66 c.; No. 2 
red, 67)4 to 68»4c.; No. 2 corn, 3334 to 34c.; No. 2 
oats, 27 to 2Sc.; No. 2 white oats, 29V4 to 2934c.; 
No. 3 white oats, 28 to 29)4c.; No. 2 rye, 52 to 5214c.; 
Receipts of apples are only moderate, and 
there is a good demand for fancy fruit at full 
quoted prices. There is, also, a good demand for 
the moderate-priced fruit. There is a light sup¬ 
ply of pears, but little demand. Receipts of 
cranberries are light, stocks on hand moderate, 
and a little improvement is manifest. Prices of 
Florida oranges are very much unsettled, and 
the tone of the market is weak. The tendency 
of price of evaporated apples is upward, the sup¬ 
ply light and the demand fair, with the market 
Arm. 
There is a good demand for potatoes, but the 
offerings are very liberal, and the market is 
barely steady. Just now, there is a light supply 
of sweet potatoes, and the market is steady with 
a tendency toward higher prices. Choice onions 
sell well, but a large proportion of the receipts 
are poor, and sell at irregular prices. Cabbages 
continue dull, turnips weak. There is a liberal 
supply of kale and spinach, demand weak and 
prices drag. Florida vegetables sell well if of 
good quality. 
There is very little change in the butter mar¬ 
ket, prices being about the same as one week 
ago. Cheese prices have advanced materially, 
and the market is firm with a good export 
demand. _

Those $2 Daily Prizes 
continue to go to small clubs. One last week went to an agent 
who sent only one yearly subscription. But the week as a 
whole was a little better than the previous one. We, however, 
continue to get more orders in the aggregate from subscribers 
who do not attempt to work for prizes than from the agents 
who do. As a sample of these letters and orders from sub¬ 
scribers we quote the following from a subscriber at Chesan- 
ing, Mich. 
“ The R. N. -Y. comes to me like the visit of an old friend 
that I had not seen for a long time. I am now 60 years old, 
and I began to read it before I was 15 years old. I was a 
constant reader of it until after 1870, when I moved to Mich¬ 
igan. I was then persuaded that - - was better 
adapted to this locality, so I subscribed for that. But after 
all, I like The Rural the best, and to show my appreciation 
for it and, and to help an old friend I inclose one dollar for 
ten trial subscriptions for the rest of the year. Send the 
paper to the following list of names :

We take the liberty to print this letter in full as our ac¬ 
knowledgment of our appreciation of this kind of work, and 
to show the way old friends and subscribers of the paper con¬ 
tribute to its success. After all, it should be remembered 
that a paper like The R. N. -Y. is simply an organization of 
its editors, publishers and voluntary readers for mutual bene¬ 
fit, and it is not surprising that all the members of the or¬ 
ganization contribute voluntarily to its success. Like other 
organizations carefully and honestly managed for the benefit 
of its members, the larger the numbers, the greater its power 
of usefulness. We hope that every reader—every member of 
this organization—will see to it that there is at least one more 
member in his neighborhood the coming year. This is the 
month to do it. THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York.
