THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
THE EGG MARKET is easier, and the 
price for western average best dropped to 
24 cents. Buyers seem to have but little dif^ 
ficulty in getting all they need at that 
ligure. The dullness in fresh goods ma¬ 
terially affected the offerings of cold- 
storage stock, which showed a wide range 
of prices. 
HOTHOUSE PRODUCTS.—At present 
there is an excessive supply of mushrooms 
on hand, and there are many reports of 
cut prices. The receipts of cucumbers are 
light and quality inferior. Prime lettuce 
would sell well, but it is scarce, and the 
lower grades are hard to dispose of. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the week 
ending December 27 were 11,398 cattle, 307 
cows, 2,448 calves, 31,408 sheep, and 33,8G0 
hogs. Native steers brought $4 to $5.30; 
bulls, $2.75 to $3.50, and cows, $1.75 to $3.70. 
Prices for milch cows with calves ranged 
from $30 to $50. Veal calves sold at $4 to 
$8.50, and grassers, $3 to $3.50. Receipts of 
sheep and lambs included several carloads 
for export alive. The market was dull, 
common to prime sheep selling at $2.25 to 
$3.80 per 100 pounds, and lambs, $4.50 to $5.90. 
A lot of choice State pigs sold at $5.40. 
BUTTER.—On account of light receipts 
and cool weather the market is firm, 
though prices show no advance from last 
report, 25 cents being the top for extras. 
Now and then a lot grading exceptionally 
high sells at one-fourth to one-half cent 
advance, but there are not enough deals 
of this sort to warrant a quotation. The 
conditions on the lower grades were not 
so favorable, some showing a decided 
weakness. An occasional lot of storage 
creamery reaches 23 cents, but for offerings 
that show age the demand is light, prices 
in some instances dropping to 17 cents.

That seems to be a convenient and use¬ 
ful tool advertised by N. B. Foote Co., 
Frederickstown, O. It almost oils a wagon 
itself, and there is certainly no need of the 
operator soiling his hands. 
Right now would be a good time to make 
plans for sugar-making in the Spring. If 
you need a new evaporator we Invite your 
attention to the I X L, made by Warren 
Evaporator Works, Warren, O. 
Farmers contemplating building new 
fences will do well to write for the cata¬ 
logue published by the Frost Wire Fence 
Co., of Cleveland, O., makers of fence con¬ 
sisting of all large size hard steel coiled 
spring wires for laterals, and heavy spring 
wire stays for uprights, thus insuring 
many years of satisfactory service. 
Hapgood Mfg. Co., Box 177, Alton, Ill., 
are offering “Anti-Trust” steel ranges di¬ 
rect to farmers, thereby saving to the 
buyer the expense and profit of an army 
of middlemen or agents. If you are not In 
need of a range at this time, it would be 
well to ask for the free catalogue of this 
house and compare their prices on other 
goods with those of your local dealer. 
If you are interested in bone cutters, we 
would say that you can probably secure 
considerable information regarding the 
poultry business, and at the same time 
learn something about bone cutters, by 
sending to W. J. Adam, Joliet, Ill., for his 
new catalogue, wnicn is aue every sub¬ 
scriber of this paper, and which will be 
sent upon application. 
We call attention to the advertisement 
of the Michigan wheelbarrow seeder, which 
appears in another column of this issue. 
This machine is one of the handiest things 
the farmer can own, and costs very little. 
Write the makers, the Seeder & Hammock 
Chair Company, at Homer, Mich , for free 
catalogue and special Introductory prices. 
They ship it on trial and guarantee satis¬ 
faction. 
The potato crop, as a rule, was very light 
in this section, and I think that there is 
not a large quantity stored in this part of 
the county. The corn crop this year was 
one of the best ever known, and I think, 
aside from the potato crop, there has been 
a fairly good average of production, with 
a little better price than usual. The turnip 
is more in evidence here locally than the 
potato, and brings from 15 to 20 cents per 
bushel. p. E. t.

A Cabbage Report.— I judge there is 
fully one-third more cabbage packed away 
this year than last, in this State. How- 
e\er, I think fully one-third of the stock 
was badly damaged before being cut from 
the field by the hard freeze the early part 
of November, and a good portion of this 
will never be shipped. The frozen stock is 
mostly In the hands of the growers, and 
dealers will be very shy of it. Prices at 
present at loading points in this station 
are just half what they were last year at 
this time. Speculators and growers are 
not offering this holding very freely at 
present prices. It seems to be the general 
opinion here that prices will take a sharp 
advance soon after January 1. a. m. m.
