CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Trials and convictions of oleomargarine dealers 
go merrily on. 
American cattle are reported to be flooding the 
London market. 
Competition in the London wool sales is re¬ 
ported to be spirited. 
New cheese is arriving, and old cheese is work¬ 
ing out freely under a strong export demand. 
There seems likely to be a large accumulation 
of storage eggs in different parts of the country. 
The lilac trade is now at its height, and the 
street peddlers are fairly loaded down with the 
fragrant blooms. 
Strawberries are not only very plentiful in this 
market just now, but many of them are of good 
size and fine appearance. They are retailing 
now for as low as 15 cents per basket, the baskets 
being supposed to hold a quart each. 
Egg prices are extremely low, receipts unusu¬ 
ally large, and the outlook for much higher prices 
in the immediate future, decidedly uncertain. 
The quality of the bulk of the receipts is not high, 
many of them being ungraded, and many more 
decidedly poor. Eggs were sold “loss off” after 
May 11. 
The butter market has been steadily advancing, 
and is in excellent shape. The lower prices have 
increased consumption, and as retailers had be¬ 
fore been buying in small quantities, there was 
little surplus. But little butter has been put into 
storage, as the keeping qualities so far do not 
warrant it; but as grass butter is now in sight, 
this will furnish an added outlet. 
Shipments of butter and cheese to Great Britain 
and the continent of Europe, for the week ending 
May 2, 1896, were as follows :

Hay Fever 
and Rose Colds 
are more easily prevented than cured —both g 
yield to Booth’s “ Hyomei,” the Australian

"CURES BY INHALATION.”

Inclosed please find $1.00 for two extra bottles 
of Hyomei. I am entirely cured of Hay Fever, 
but I do not like to be without your remedy. 
MRS. R. A. LINENDOLL, 
Mayflower Cottage. 
Hyomei is a purely vegetable antiseptic, and 
destroys the germs which cause disease in the 
respiratory organs. The air, charged with 
Hyomei, is inhaled at the mouth, and after per¬ 
meating the minutest air-cells, is exhaled 
through the nose. It is aromatic, delightful to 
inhale, and gives immediate relief. 
• Pocket Inhaler Outfit, Complete in Sealed 
Case (see cut), Ly Mail, Sl.OO, to any part of 
the United States ; consisting of pocket inhaler, 
made of deodorized hard rubber (beautifully 
polished), a botttle of Hyomei, a dropper, and 
full directions for using. If you are still skep¬ 
tical, send your address; my pamphlet shall 
prove that Hyomei does cure. 
Are you open to conviction ?
