Tho stock market lad the tree holiday appearance
this morning, the attendance being small, and the
transactions, consequently, few and unimportant,
while the xnovernents in prices possessed bat little)
e:gs.icasee except in one or two stocks. Outside in
tertsti were doing nothing in the market, and coxa
mission people were idle, and while the temper of the
room was conservatively bullish, the traders who did
the bulk of the business put out a few ."short"
lines. 8513-9 covering in Heading of tho "shorts"
pat out during the past two days gave that stock the
appearac re of strength, and it advanced 3 percent.,
wita w EBglaud. following, bat the general list was
intensely dull and fluctuated withia the narrowest
imits. A drive aas afterward made at Reading and
Orr.ah preferred, and tho latter was got down 2 per
rent-, but the removal o! tho pressure was followed
by a sharp recovery. Even Cotton Oil was quiet, and
while boriincton displayed some strength toward the
close, no other feature marked tho dealing.
Opening prices were steady at but slight changes
from las I evening's figures, and the list moved up
slightly under tho lead of Heading and New England,
but these gains were afterward wiped out, when
Omaha preferred Inst 2 per cent. This, in turn, was
neutralized, and the market became again steady, and
so closed. Tho final changes are for small fractions
onlr, except an advance of 1 per cent, in Burlington &
Quiney. and are about equally divided between gains
aai lome. - .
Railroad bonds were quiet but firm throughout,
and almost all the issues traded in show small ad
vances as tho result of the dav's trading. Tho sales
of . all issues reached $000,000, out of which tho
Reading seconds preferred incomes contributed $158,
OOO, but no other special feature was shown. The
only decline was in South Carolina seconds, which
dropped G per cent, further, to 48. The a!es for the

TRADING AT CHICAGO.
The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the
Hang In Prices of Lsadlog Articles.
CHICAGO, Deo. 20. -A fair buvress was trans
acted in wheat, and no new or startling features were
developed. About the same influences which have
aifeetedthe market for the past forty-eight hours
controlled tho market, namely, good, steady buying
by some large traders and only moderate offerings.
The market has apparently shaped itself so that oper
atom are rather backward about selling, and 'ahorts'
are disposed to eover, each advance making them
more oneasr. The feeling in the Northwest was re
ported decidedl stronger. The market opened at
about yesterday's closing, declined -uc, ruled irregular,
and then advanced IV. eased off Je,
and dosed I-40 higher than yesterday.
Trading eeateied chiefly in the May future. It was
rumored that the starting up of some of the mills
rhicli had been shut down duricg the recent denrea-

devoid of any noteworthy feature the entire session.
The feeling was comparatively firm, and fluctuations
were limited to He racjre, the market closing 40
higher than yesterdsy. In oats a quiet and steady
market was noted. Oat side orders to buy or sell were
la moderate supply, and most o! the tradirg was con
fined to ereningr-up and preparing for the first
of the year. Trading centered in Slav, but
price charges were small. The near futures were sa
better. Trading was moderately active in mess pork:
and the feeling wm stronger in a ge-ersl way. Open
ing sales wero made at yesterda's closing prices, but
an advance of 17 2? 20c wn gained later in the day.
Prices settled hack asrain 7-s 'd 10c. and the market
closed steady. Only a fair trade was reported in lard,
and tho feeling was steadier, and prieea ruled .02 9

fgures. i.ather more was doin in short ribs, and
especially for May delivery, aud tho feellag was

Hor the Bolls' and noara Manipulated
AVheat,
CHICAGO, Dec 29. Tho local wheat-trading crowd
went into the "pit, this morning, bearishly disposed.
May was sold down from $1.0538 to $1.05 very toon
after the opening. At the decline a good demand was
developed, and the price went to $1.0514, dropping
back, however, to $1.05, from which point a fresh
start was taken. There was a light trade at $1.05.
Offering. were limited, and the demand urgent.
J. B. Ream led the buying up to $1.0534, and again,
when the market settled to $1.053, he took consid
erable lines. Up to $1.0534 the local bear"
party acted aggressively, but thereafter the
efforts of tho "bears1 seemed to be to cover
"shorts' and make as little' disturbance about it as
possible. After the first hour the most conspicuous
feature of the dealings was the absence of the pres
sure to sell. Brokers supposed to be operating in the
interests of Kent indulged themselves in tho pleasure
of pounding away at tho market on the pauses in the
upward eonrse of values, but the reactions that were
produced were inconsequential. The advance from
$1.05 was steady for a full eent and a half. From
$1.064 & sharp raid carried prices down to $1.06 J8,
but recovery was rapid. The price hell
steadily for a time around $1.064.
started back. and then jumped to
$1.00V Above $1.004 & large business was done,
and around $1.063a offerings were on a more gen
erous scale than at any time during tho session. Trad
ing was quite spirited late in tho session, as indeed it
was most of the time. The last half-hour of tho ses
sion was unmarked by special changes. . Tho firmness
continued to the end, and last prices were practically
at the outside. Mar sold up to $1.007iB, and closed
at $1.0034. January opened at $1.00, ranged at
9934eS$1.004, and closed f.t $1.01 2. July opened
at 957ije, up to 97c, and closed at the outside price.
News was scarce, with nothing to encourage the
bull" parties. The drying up of receipts at primary
points was ens of the things to which attention was
directed. To such an extent has this gone that indi
cations now point to a decrease in tho visible supply,
or, at the moit, only a very sraa'l increase. Minne
apolis markets were quoted as stronger than Chicago,
aud an ad ranee of fully 3 cents per bushed in some of
the lower grades is retorted. This is supposed to be in
consequence of a milling demand resulting from re
cent experiments with the poor wheat. Most of the
mills have, up to a recent period, insisted that they
could not grind inferior grades, but tests seem to
hare- ehanfred their riews to some extent. With
17.500,000 bushels in the Northwest, against
19,500,000 on tho 1st of July last, according to
Bradstreet's enumeration, that will be ground into
flour, is thankfully accepted by lie millers of that
section. '
There was some export talk to-day, but so far as
can be learned nothing has been done. The views of
the buyers and sellers are not yet in accord. Hutch
inson was one of tho largest export-wheat buyers to
day. One of the local bulls was also a good buyer,
and tho outside also took on considerable through
commission houses. Northwestern parties covered
rery freely through their known representatives.
New York and other domestic markets were firm and
higher, and a distinctively better feeling prevailed in
the trade. Angry talk about manipulation and ob
struction methods is no longer heard.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. -29. The enthusiasm of tU
ootion trading in the pit was not communicated to
the sample tables at all, and the total transactions for
the day were the highest for weeks, beliers were
asking higher prices tor the grain offered, and the few
sales that followed were at a shade better prices thaa
rerterday. Offerings were light, the total receipts
or the day being but 81 ears while 70 cars were
shipped out. As the receipts decrease the proportion
of good wheat is growing, out very little hard in being
offered on the sample tables. Closing quotations:

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Holiday Dullness Noticeable In Nearly All
Department, with Few. Changes In Value.
IsbiANAPOLis, Dec 23.
In nearly all branches of Jtra&A trade rules quiet, as
usual, daring the holidays, while pries range about
as in the early part of the week, provisions being tho
ccly market that ia badly o2T. This break in the mar
ket justifies ah statement of some of the packers that
hogs were selling at higher figures than they axe jasti
fied. under the conditions, in paving. In groceries a
firm tone to leading staple articles is
noticeable. The '"bears" on coffees are mak
ing poor headway, and higher, rather than
lower prices are indicated after the holidars.
Sugars rule steady, and the demand is well equalized
with the production. Teas and canned gtods are firm
and unchanged. In the produce markets there ts con
siderable activity with the near approach of New
Year's. Egcs are arriving very freely, and prices aro
easy. ReceiDts of noultry are falling off, rotwith
standing the fact that better prices are paid than usual
in the holidays. Veze;ables of ail kicds are in large
supply and selling slow. Apples are firmer and selling
fairly well. Oranges aro firmer but not quotably
higher. Cranberries, if sound, are selling better, but
rule low for this season of the year. There is still a
good dal of poor stock on te market. Game is in
good demand and prices steady at quotations. The
liour market is more active. Prices, however, do not
improve, but a change for the better is looked for next
month.

Farm Notes.
It is said that by forcing salt into the holes
made by borers in trees the borers trill bo de
stroyed. Hen manure, mixed with twice its weight of.
dry earth and stood in a dry place until spring,
gives one of the very best fertilizers for onions
that can be secured.
The tent caterpillar can nearly aiways be de
stroyed to good advantage during the winter, as
the nests or webs can be seen much more read
ily while the foliage is off.
Moldy or dusty hay will cause heaves in
horses. Such hay is only fit for bedding. If a
horse shows signs of the heaves it is btst to cut
aud moisten all bay fed to it
A Southern cultivator says the most salable
sweet potato is one that is snort and thick, and
it is to produce these that you plough shallow
and make flat hill ridges, eo that as the potatoes
grow they will reach the hard soil and be
checked in their downward growth and will de
velop thickness.
Trees Flowing in exposed places should by all
means be well staked. Tne wind waving them
back and forth is almost certain to loosen the
roots, and this is a condition to be always avoid
ed. A stout stake set firmly close beside and a
strap made out of an old rubber shoe cr a strip
cut from a boot-top, wrapped around the tree
and tacked to the stake, will hold firm and pre
vent injury in this respect.
Generally orchards only produce . full crops
every other year, for the reason that tho per
fecting of a full crop of fruit so exhausts the
fruit producing qualities of the plants or trees
that a full season's rest is necessary for the
plants to recuperate. By having the soil rich,
kept mellow by cultivation, and if care is taken
to thin so as to prevent the tree from overload
ing very good crops may be secured every year.
