MARKETS. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain market in the beginning of the week 
was very irregular, with only a fair export de¬ 
mand. Corn seemed to be a little steadier than 
wheat with, if anything, a greater demand for 
foreign shipment, and at the end of the week, the 
market became very active with prices, espe¬ 
cially for wheat and corn, somewhat higher. The 
purchases for export were something enormous 
but receipts smaller. Buyers have been purchas¬ 
ing for shipment abroad, to be delivered through¬ 
out the rest of this year and the first months of 
next year. In Chicago, cash quotations were 
about as follows: No. 3 Spring wheat, 63*£ to 
66 %c.; No. 2*red, 68*4 to 70c.; No. 2 corn, 34 to 
34%c.; No. 2 oats, 27M to 2S)4c.; No. 2 white oats, 
31c.; No. 3 white oats, 28*4 to 28%c.; No. 2 rye, 
52*4c.; No. 2 barley, 36 to 50*4c. 
Receipts of butter have been ample, and the 
tendency of the market is towards somewhat 
lower prices, under considerable accumulations. 
The Mercantile Exchange made some changes in 
the butter rules, which went into effect Decem¬ 
ber 1. The score for extras was lowered to 93 
points average, except in June and July, when 
the average shall be 95 points or higher. The 
description as to flavor, body, color, salt, and 
style, remains the same as enforced heretofore - 
Under these new rules, more of the receipts pass 
in the grade of extras. These have shown little 
change. In all the markets this week, the storm 
has interfered materially with business. The 
streets are yet, at the end of the week, almost 
impassable in many places, and the handling of 
goods is greatly hindered. 
There is a liberal supply of potatoes, consider¬ 
ing the time of year and the present facilities for 
handling. Jersey sweet potatoes are higher, but 
the southern stock is all of poor quality and sells 
very low. Onions are firm and somewhat higher 
if choice. Canada turnips, firm; celery, steady 
if large, but the small moves slowly. Very light 
receipts of cauliflowers and other Long Island 
vegetables on account of the storm which has 
blocked the railroads for the greater part of the 
week. Southern vegetables are in small supply, 
and sell well if of good quality. Some of the lots 
that came by freight have been badly frosted; 
such are very irregular.

Those $2 Daily Prizes 
continue to go out every day to some one. We liad one good- 
sized club one day last week. The others were all small, 
coming from club-raisers who are making no attempt to com¬ 
pete for prizes, hut who just pick up a few names as they 
have the opportunity. This is the time to get subscrip¬ 
tions, both new and renewal. Remember, we will award 47 
cash prizes February 1, to the largest 47 clubs received 
previous to that date. 
Write for full particulars, samples and supplies.

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, hut 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.
