The stock market to-day was the daHett and most
ttninteresting so far daring the present depression and
wa s almost entirely deroid of feat-are. . The alarming
reports of the illness of Mr! Gould reeeired from the
West gars a wsek tone to the opening this morning
and first prices were generally from e to a below
those of last evening. A general disbelief in the ru
mors circulated soon beeame prevalent, however, and
the market, while extremely doll, regained its tone.
In the early trading, the business done was entirely
in th e bands of the professionals, and fluctuations
were confined to the smallest limits, all ezeept Unioa
Facie being traded in within a radius of per eeni.
The last mentioned stock, however, was
trong on the farorable showing of its report,
iust issued, which induced considerable covering, and
It advanced m in the first half hour. At the same
time Missouri Pacifio displayed some weakness, but
later recovered a portion of its loss. Toward 11
o'clock the market again exhibited a declining ten.
dener, and prices shaded off slowly until the close,
the dealing from that time being utterly featureless.
Th close was very doll and rather heavy, at about
first prices. The amount of business done during the
two hours was only 5,2,247 shares. Union Pacifio
furnished 12,270 of that. The final changes are, al
most without exception, in the direction of lower
gures, but they are confined to small frsetions.
The railroad bond market was a little more ani
mated than the share list, but the sales were only
060.000. The same lade of feature marked the
dealings, and beyond the rapid recovery in South
Carolina seconds there was no movement in the list
worthy of mention. Final chances are almost invaria
bly for slight fractions, and Quite irregular. Among
the advances, St. Paul, LL & D. fives, rose 2. to
103 Michigan Central fires of 1002, 1. to 1084,

CHICAGO, Jcne 2-ThT action of the local wheat
market to-day did not leave it Tery dear to the trade
or the public just what the clique now at work in the
pit is trying to accomplish. The market here opened
firm, and, after 4e advance, went all to pieces. New
York was apparently bullish early, because of cover
ing by "shorts" in the old-crop options, while other
futures were about 90 lower when that exchange
dosed at noon. The conservative element
kept aloof largely, and th transactions were
not as heavy as the fluctuations would indicate.
The "balls' see the situation and are encouraged by
the light primary receipts, while the "bears" are
watching the accumulation of wheat at the seaboard
and the light clearances. July sold at 8630 to open,
up to 86e, and then down, with hardly a rally, to
844C Later the prices returned to H5c, snd atrain
went off to 818c August sold early at 853C and down
to 83346, reacting to 8458C; December at 8630. up
to 863te. down to 859, and returned to e-Oe. Clos
ing priees ia wheat for all futures for the
day and week were: June. 8434e: July, 84sc;
August, 848C; September, N32c; December, 855qc.
Corn was not exelted at any time, although there was
a fair volume of trading in the pit. Prices were ad
vanced early, but closed below last night's prices, with
realizing sales by the crowd, and the slump in wheat
caused prices to go off about 3ie from the top priees
of the morning. June sold at 554a5578c; July,
558g35614c; August. 55i9563go, closing at
bottom prices for the day. . Oats were rather quiet
and dull. June delivery was weak and lower; July
steady early and finally declining, but other f utares
were not materially changed. The publication
of the stocks of hog products In this city
made a larger showing than wa exnected.
bat are 43,000,000 poands less than June 1, last
J ear. Receipts of hoga were light and prices 5o
iher. There was little disposition on the part of
operators to trade, and the small business that passed
was chiefly of a scalping nature. At the close pork
was 2o lower and short ribs .02s3.05c,but lard was
.05o higher. July pork sold at $14.05314.123. and
closed at $14.073, July lard sold sparingly at 8.47a
08.52)e, and dosed at 8.52a; Julv short ribs sold
at 7.6037.6230. and closed at 7.623C The pack
ing since March 1 is 765,000 hogs against 775,000
hogs the same time last year. The leading futures

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Business Situation Disappointing: Trade
In All Departments Slow.
Indianapolis. June 2.
In all depsrtmenss of trade complaint is heard of
the dullness in business, aod no one seems competent
to assign a reason for the disappointing volume of
traffic, unless it be that we are just feeling the crop
shortage of 1837 in this section. Farm A rs hare but
little to sell, and consequently hare but little money.
Many farmers are said . to be borrowing from the
eountry banks who usually hare deposits in them
at this season of the year. . What is worse,
there is little encouraging in the sit
uation. The wheat crop is a partial
failure and the oats crop will fall below expectations,
doubtless, and unless we soon hare more summer
like weather, the corn crop will hardly come up to ex
pectations, although most fields have 'come up, well
and the color of the corn is good. ' In prices, the past
week, changes in values have been few and unimpor
tant. Coffees are not in as strong a position as early
in the week, while sugars are in a decidedly stronger
position on a large and increasing demand. Whole
sale houses are well cleared of their stocks of
canned good?, and dried fruits are well
sold out. Rice, starch - and spices are all firm
acd meeting with fair distribution. Prorisions are
steady, and lard and hams meeting with large sales,
in a jobbing way mostly. The hide market is slug
gish, prices ruling considerably lower than at the eor
responding period last year. Millers report a good
demand for flour, but prices are relatively so much
lower than the price of wheat that there is no money
in the business, and they continue to run to only
about one-half their capacity. Receipt" of the new
clip of wool are not coming up to expectations,
the backwardness of the season doubtless
being in part the cause It has been
rather a quiet week with the .dry ' goods
men. . Little doing except in the way of replenishing
broken stocks. The produce markets are fairly actire.
Old potatoes firmer, while new potatoes are weak at
the reduced quotations of the early part of the week.
In fact, all early vegetables are selling at much lower
figures than a week ago. Poultry and butter in large
supply, and tending downward. Eggs firm; shippers,
some of them, paying 122 cents. Cherries and straw
berries were higher to-day than on any day of the
wctek, the commission men taking ad ran tags of the
large demand for Saturday, and holding prices at the
highest figures. Other markets present no new
features.
GRAIN.
It was an off day in the local gram market. The at
tendance on 'Change was slim and the bidding tame.
Priees on most grades of all cereals ruling a shade
lower. Track bids to-day ruled as follows:

( Wheat liaising; In lows.
Iowa State Register.
It Is evident Iowa will, or should, cease raising
wheat to sell. It never hat or will pay for rant
of land, labor and deterioration of soiL Twelre
bushels per acre is an Iowa arerage, and oo the
farm it is not worth more) than 50 cen'3 per
bushel. It may average 10 cents better at rail
road stations, but it costs that to delirer it
there. If farmers will continue to raise wheat
let them do it with oats, half and half mixed,
then a remunerative crop of stock feed can be
raised, and can always be converted in a way to
be worth donble as much per acre as in wheat ex
clusively. Wheat and oats ground and mixed
is grand food for all classes of animals horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep. But if it costs too rrtueh
to grind, it can be soaked cheaply, and in tha
condition is nearly as good. Bat in soaking do
not 1st it sour. Souring slop for bogs belongs
to the follies of the past. When vegetable food
of any kind progresses so far in the work of
decay as to sour, it is seriously injured as a
fi.t and flesh Droduciner food. Sugar or svruD
are rich in fattening qualities, but dilate themO
with water so that as it progresses in decay, it
ours, it loses all its fattening qualities, and no
ingenuity of man or chemistry can ever brine
back! the saccharine elements or fattening quali
ties. And so it is with all grains, vegetables or
fruits. Vinegar or aeid fruit are recommended
by physicians for reducing the redundancy of
fat Hence, in soaking meal or grain for stock
do not let it sour.
Bat we are satisfied mixed crops cf wheat and
oats, or peas and oats, can be made doubly
profitable, to that of a crop of wheat. And by
this process the cream of the soil will not be
shipped to the eities to be dumped into the
sewers and rivers and floated off to the ocean
never to return. When cattle, hogs aod horse
can be raised with the best of pasture a well as
grain finishing off stock for market, wheat
should no more cumber the ground, or rob tha
soil.
Peara ia the West.
Orchard and Garden.
Some large orchards were planted in southern
Illinois in recent years, bnt they have returned
no money to their ownere as yet. The chief
trouble has been the pear-biirht. which usually
starts in as the trees begin to bear, and in a few
years completes its work of destruction. Dr.
Hall, of Alton, many years ago made the ob
servation that trees which made their growth
early in the season, and went to rest by mid
summer, were exempt. For thte reason be
practiced and advocated root prunier, which, in
his hands, worked well, but was cot so successful
wiiU others, probably because not properly don.
Extensive observation b&s shown that the) same
nnlinsrr Java 269328sc: Imitation
resnlt can be obtained more cheaply by eeediog
to grass; hence the practice of the best growers
now is to giro good cultivation until the trees
get nearly of bearing age, and then sow to grass
and never culti?tf after that. Much can also
be done by the proper selection of varieties.
The Bartiett, which is so largely planted every
where, is one of the worst to blight. as also
Louise Boone of Jersey. The Howell has shown
itself much more free from blight and superior
to the Bartiett. in so far as it is a little later, has
a very thick skin, consequently is little troubled
by insect marks, and. therefore, more uniformly
smooth and fair. Wherever grown it has been
one of the most profitable late pears grown.
Progress tn Agriculture. .
Indianapolis Millstone.
Nowhere in the world has so much improved
machinery for use in agriculture been patentod
as in this country. Tnis comes from the condl
ditions of our farming. In European countries
the farm laborers are mosty hired, the estates
being owned by men whose only interest is the
amount of mousy the estate yields, and who
give little, if any, thought to the details of the
work. Here erery farm is tilled by its owner,
who takes a vital interest in everything about
it He brings his best thought to bear on the
subject of its cultivation. The result is the
best farming machinery in the world. Perhaps
few realize the amount of money saved by
the improred machinery. We are so used to it
now that we do not give it a thought Yet at
the very beginning of this century, it is reported
that it was considered a day's work for a man to
thrash with a flail four bushels of wheat or rye,
six of barley and five of oats, beans or peas. Ac-,
cording to the wages then paid, it cost one-fifth
the value of the crop to harvest and get it to
market sayine nothing of prerious expensed.
As a contrast a glance at the harvesting of Cali
fornia may be of interest Governor Bidwell
stated, some years ago, tbat he bad harvested,
thrashed, cleaned for market and stored 40,318
bushels of grain in thirty-six days, including all
delays, with twenty-two bands. This
is an average of fifty bushels
per day per man. . Another report shows that
the average was 57 bushels per day per man.
The cost was 31 cents per bushel, not including
the board of the men. On another ranch, with
a combined thresher and harvester, the average
was 141 bushels per roan per day. This de
crease in the cost of harvesting grain is but one
item. We have machinery for tilling the ground,
sowing the grain and cultivating it all of which
go to cheapen the product Again, the central
ization of products, the growing of ooe kind of
grain in one locality and at other in
a different locality, has been , another
factor in this cheapening. The result is the
enormous increase in the production of grain
fier head of population. This production was,
n 1849, 4.3 bushels; 1839, 5.5 bushels; 1869. 7.8
bushels; 1879. a 1 bushels. All of this hae-had
two prominent effects. First the proportion of
our rural population is decreasing. There is no
need for so large a proportion of farmers when
the product of each man is so greatly increased.
Second, relative cost of different products has
changed. Formerly potatoes, buckwheat beans
and other coarser products were the cheapest
food obtainable. Now these eoarsertroduets
are dear food, and the white bread, which was
once a luxury, s cheap. The once cheap food
requires more hand labor to get it to market
than -does wheat corn and other cereals; hence
the changes in relative cost
About Corn,
Stephen Towers, in Ohio Farmer.
Time was when I gave myself more concern
to secure a small cob than I do now-a-daya. My
present aim is principally to make certain of
fairly deep, broad, hard kernels and plenty of
them, and let the cob take care of itself. Still,
you must have a smaller cob in the North than
is permissible in the South; else the short season
will not ripen and dry it out, and the corn will
have a tendency to mold. The eob is the
bone; you must have bone or yon will have no
carcass, no constitution. There is a firm bone
and there is a shelly bone. For an ear of seed
corn one should select a cob which is hard and
stiff, which baa the grains wedged so thick
on it that one pushed out will push out another,
an ear which is heavy in tne hand. Before
blizzards were invented the dent varieties would
answer, but in . these evil modern winters on
which we are fallen we want a kind of corn in
which every kernel ie well buttoned up, snug
and tight Half a century ago, in the Musk
ingum valley, yellow corn was cultivated al
most exclusively. Directly after the war the
drift of corn was southward, the Southern bur
ers preferred white corn. It commanded 5 cents
more per bushel than yellow, and the Musk
ingum farmers began to grow it But it was
fonnd less adapted to the latitude, and yellow
varieties have gradually resumed their former
supremacy.
