The stock market to-day was a limited one. The fluctuations were very narrow, and the vol ume of Dullness small, bat all through there was a quiet undertone of strength that showed on the surface whenever any buyer's orders were executed. A featnre of the market was the small supply of stocks, and several attempts by bearish traders to buy tack shares sold early la the week were abandoned on account of this scarcity. Most of the news made publlo durinj the day was of & bull ish character, the only exception beinj the decrease in the St Paul earnings for the second west in November. The develop ments in the trunk-lines situation were very fa vorable, and the fact that the two principal roads had agreed to refrain from makme any further cuts in west-bound ratet was really the foundation for whatever Mreojrth was shown during the day. The continued reports of a set tlement among the Southwestern roads also bad a good effect, and induced some buy ing of Gould stocks, but no effort was made to create an advance in those securities, find when the traders attempted to realize a re action occurred. The holiday in London and the absence of the arbitration business partly accounts for the light transactions. In the last Lour a sharp snurt occurred in Delaware & Hud son, Saa Francisco preferred and Cotton Oil certificates, and those securities led the list in tho advance recorded for the day. The greatest business wss in Reading 9,360 shares were dealt in. The net results of the day's trading ere advances of 1 per cent in Del aware & Hudson, San Francisco preferred, and Cotton OIL The changes in the rest of the list are for small fractions only, and are mostly ad vances. The total sales of railroad bonds amounted to $132,000. The market was strong at intervals. International coupon sixes advanced 2 per cent, and others fractional amounts. Government bonds were dull but firm. State bonds dull and without feature. Closing quotations were: Four per ct. bonds. .127VKtnsas & Texas....

Wheat on samp!e tables went begging for buyers during the greater portion of the session, and sellers were offering con cessions in the way of lower prices. Speculative mar. kets were lower, and with prospects of still further decline, buyers were holding oft to wait for tha bot tom. Any sharp advance in speculative prices would undoubtedly have stimulated trade in cash wheat, sinee millers, both local and from Wisconsin points, were looking the display over critically. The quality of offerings was good, being a still greater improve ment over the past few days.

MBMWMBSSSSSSMMMMM INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS. The Business of the Past "Week Disappoint ins In Its Volume. a Indianapolis, Not. 17. A brisk trade was anticipated at the beeinning of the week, but the expectations bare not been fulfilled. The ehief cause of the disappointing trado was largely due to bad weather and the almost Impassable condition of the country roads. Traveling salesmen who came in Friday and to-day stato that they never saw the coun try roads in as bad condition in November as they aro this year. They find stocks light and merchants disposed to purchase liberally, but there will, where mer chants are off of the railroads, be some delay in delivering the goods. The corn crop is coming to market slowly, and money is closer than it otherwise would be. In price, the psst week, fluctuations hare been few and of little impor tance. The sugar market showed a little more firmness to-day, while coffees wear an easy tone, and the distribution of both for the time being is light Other staple groceries present no new features. In the produce markets there is a good deal of activity. Apples and potatoes in the last two or three days have been meeting with better sale at unchanged prices. Eggs are scarce, and still higher prices aro looked for. Butter comes in slow, and. if good, sells readily. Poultry rules steady, and the packing-houses are preparing to place a considerable quantity in the cold-storace bouses. The wool market is more actire, with prices advancing. The flour tnarket is unsettled, prices ruling weak and on eome grades lower. Other markets are feature less. GEAIK. . There was a fair attendance on 'Change to-day and on some cereals there was free bidding. Wheat was in light demand and only wanted for shipping purposes, as millers are not free purchasers at present prices. ' No. 2 red sold as high as $1.0G, and No, 3 ranged from 90c 2 JL Corn was a shade easier than on Friday, and there is a fair demand for both old and new ar rivals, which are light.

The Reeister has said considerable in f aTor of farmers raising and feeding more sweet corn. It is trne this has not been uone from our experi enee, as it is a matter of regret tht this ad vance in farmine was comparatively unknown previous to onr leaving the farm. And yet we Know aud nave seen the great benefits of having a few acres each year of this rich and very de sirable forage. The following is from Mr. Jaqna, whose statements and experience is as good as onr own. We hope get all farmers into the good practice: We dielike to publish anything that looks like boasting on onr part or that of anyone else. Last spring we planted about three acres of sweet corn of the Stowell Evergreen variety. We bad fifty hoes that had tun on pasture dar ing tho summer, and bad been fed old corn to keep them growing. As soon as this sweet corn had formed rood roasting ear3 we commenced feeding it to them by cutting ud etnlka and all. In a few days we had the ears alone pulled and thrown out to them. We have just finished feeding out all the sweet corn, and now have sold tnirty of the hogs that have been fatted ready for the market on this corn. We have never bad such satisfactory results from feediug common field eorn to hogs. The sweet variety yields more corn to the acre by one-third than any acre we have of the dent variety. With cattle no feed is relished more. Cows that are slacking up in milk will immediately show signs of an increased How if fed a little sweet corn. The sugar in the corn seems to be just what is demanded at this season of the year. It puts on fat faster than any known feed. Farmers should plant more sweet corn, not only enough to give themselves a taste of the dainty morsel bat the beasts also. We all like a good roastinc ear. ltecoilect the beasts do, too. Hereafter all our fall feeding shall be from sweet corn, as it has paid us better than feeding from dent varieties. Storing Winter Apples. Unsbandry. There are but a very few points to the secret of success in keeping apples during the winter. The critical time is not in the winter, bnt be fore the cold weather sets in. In the first place, the apples should be picked before they are perfectly ripe about the time they beeio to ripen is the beet. Picked at that time, carefully sorted and put in barrels, they can be left in the orchard under a shed, or covered with boards and straw, until the weather becins to get quite cool. Then they are carefully sorted and re moved to a dry. cold cellar, or, as many must do, placed naderground in a dry, well-drained location. They are, however, not covered in the pits very deeply at first; considerable straw is used, and they are covered lichtly with earth until the ground begins to freeze. A large num ber placed in a heap will not freeze very easily, but ventilation is always provided through the upper part of the pit. The cellar should not eontain any vegetables. After the perfectly sound apples are removed to the eeliar in clean barrels, they shculd be so ar ranged as to allow free circulation of air all around the barrels. Now, if the cellar is kent dry and at a temperature just a little above the freezing point, it is all that can be done. To keep the cellar cool enoueh requires daily atten tion; during the cool nizhts and warm days the doors and windows should be kept open all night and closed perfectly tieht during the day; yon thus bottle up, so to speak, the cool air of cne night during the day, to be renewed the next, accomplishing, at the same time, one of the most important objects a tboroueh ventilation, which, during the winter, should not be neglected.
