An Active Market and Material Advances
Made Throughout the Entire List.
NEW YORK, May 2. Money on call easy at
23221 per cent, the last loan being made at 2c,
' ai1 closing offered at 2.
Prime mercantile paper 3'4a5?i per cent.
Sterling exchange strong and active at $4.87
for sixty-day bills, and $4.89 H for demand.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 245,002
shares, including the following: Atchison, 22.
980; Delaware. Lackawanna fc Western, 16,700;
LonisTille & Nashville, 13,520; Tuiwouri Pacific,
6,195; Northwestern, 20.95C; Norfolk & Western,
2,255; Oregon Transcontinental, 0,700; heading,
15.907; Richmond fc West Tolnt, 3,210; Union
raciflc, 16,300; Western Union, 9,514.
The stock market was again moderatly active,
and showed a strong front almost throughout,
and material advances were made over the lUt
with the grangers leading. There was good buy
ing for both foreign and domestic account, and
the Ronton stocks especially were prominent
in the upward movement, and although the
"bears" made a powerful demonstration
against the list in the forenoon, the
impression made on values was frac
tional. The owning was strong after the
three days' holiday, and most stocks showed
advances over last Saturday's close figures of
from to per tent, while Atchison responded
to the rise in Boston of the past two days with a
gain of 3. The interest in the speculation was
centered in the Western stocks, and Atchison,
Northwestern, Burlington and Rock Island took
the lead. Early demand stimulated the list, and
the opening gains were supplemented by further
advances all over the list, and Pullman, which
was selling ex. dividend, almost recovered the
dividend in tbe first hour. The "bears," howev
er, resisted the advance with vigor, and, making
their attack more especially upon Union Pacific
and Reading, brought the list down fractionally
from the best figures. The statement of the Bur
lington Sz Quincy for March, showing a gain of
nearly .y 00,000, again stimulated buying, and
under the lead of Burlington and other Western
shares material gains were made before noon.
Kven the weak spots, like Union Pacific and Chi
cago Gas, recovered the losses of the first hour.
In the afternoon the market was less active,
but the upward movement met with no set-back,
though except in the coal stocks, which became
the favorites, and especially Lackawanna, the
alns were for small fractions only. Burlington,
ouisvllle & Nashville.and Missouri Pacific, how
ever, were still very prominent Western Union
also came to the front on a rumor that a syndi
cate had offered to buy in Mr. Gould's holdings,
and Manhattan, Texas Pacific, and the Wabashes
were higher in sympathy. The rise culminated
toward 2 o'clock, when some realizing caused a
reaction of slight fractions from the highest fig
ures, and beyond the renewed activity in Bur
lington there was no feature of interest In the
final dealings. The close was Ann to strong,
though at about the best prices of the day.
The unlisted department was quiet,
and Brunswick . is a shade lower,
at 207p. The great majority of the active shares
are materially higher to-night, and Burlington
lone 21-, Manitoba l7. Canadian Pacific 19,
liock Island 1, MLssouPacino 14, Oregon Trans
continental 18, Lackawanna 1 and the others
fractional amounts.
ltailroad bonds were more active and decidedly
stronger, the sales of all issues aggregating
$2,471,900, of which Texas Pa clflo second in
comes furnished $221,000, Ft Worth & Denver
firsts $106,000 and the Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic firsts $100,000. There was no cnange
in the temper of the dealings throughout the day,
and prices steadily rose, the most marked ad
vance, being Kansas fc Texas fives, 24 to 543,
the sevens 2 to 92, Manitobo fonr-and-a-halfs 2
to 104, South Carolina firsts 3 to 93, and Tennes
see Coal, Tennessee division, 2 to 97.
Government and State bonds were dull and
steady. Closing quotations were:

INDLVNATOLIS MARKETS.
Dull Trade Still Attributed to the Cold Weath
er CoUections Very Satisfactory.
Indianapolis, May 2.
In most departments trade was rather quiet to
day, the dullness being charged up to the unusu
ally cool weather for May. Wholesale men re
port, the bills of last month as being paid with
commendable promptness, and the easy tone of
the money market is noticeable. In prices to-day
there were no Important fluctuations. A belief
prevails that both sugars and coffees are to go
higher, the belief being based on the reports
from the producing markets. Dry-goods men re
port their trade a little quiet, but prices nile
strong all along the line. The provision market
carries a weaker tone; but little is doing even in -J
a jobbing way. The hide market shows more
activity but no improvement in prices. The flour
market is more' active at the range of prices of
some weeks past, aU efforts to spring prices prov
ing unavailing. Iu the produce markets there is
nothing new to note unless it be larger arrivals
of early vegetables and strawberries. To name
prices would be useless, as they fluctuate every
few hours, and are very unsettled. Straw berries
sold on Wednesday at $4 a case in the foreuoou,
and in the afternoon at from $2 to $2.50 for the
same sized cases. Green apples are still in sun
ply to meet tne demand, but much of tho fniit is
shriveled and dry. New potatoes are still in
light supply and prices firm. Old potatoes are
abundant and selling at prices whlcn the buyer
may chooso to name usually. Other markets aro
featureleus.
GBAIX.
The local market is in better shape to-day in
some respects than on Wednesday. There is a
good local and shipping demand for corn, and for
oats a local demand on light receipts, but none
are wanted for shipping, while the market was

The Russian method of stopping a runa
way horso is said to bo very etiective, and
is not particularly cruel. They place a
cord with .1 running knot arouid tho
horse's neck near the neck strap. To this
hlip uooso attach u pair of reins, which
may bo thrown over tlio dashboard, ready
to bo seized at ouce. When the horse starts
take up the extra reigus aud tighten tho
cord around the horse's throat.. The most
furious horse thus choked etops instantly,
tnd will not kick or fall.

Millet and Hungarian Grass.
St. Lords Republic.
Both these are good grasses for hay and
both aro annuals: that is, they must be
sown every year in order to secure a crop.
And if sown in a reasonably rich soil thor
oughly prepared and under favorable con
ditions, a very large yield may be obtained.
They make good hay for winter feeding.
They can bo 60wn after corn-planting and
can be used to seed land to a crop when it
may not be best to plant corn. They are
crops, however, that do not always thrive
well on thin, poor soil. They should make
quick growth; and for this reason the soil
should be rich and well prepared by plow
ing and harrowing. The seed needs only a
light covering, hence the better plan is to
get the soil into a proper tilth and then sow
the seed broadcast and cover with a light
harrow or brush. It is often a good plan to
roll the ground before sowing the seed and
then brushiug to cover.
If grown for hay, from two to three pecks
per acre will be about the right quantity to
sow, depending considerably upon the con
dition and fertility of the soil.
The plant is small and tender when it first
makes its appearance above the soil, and
for this, reason it is often best not to sow
the seed just before a rain. It is 60 often
tho case that a hard shower will run the
soil together, and this will be followed by
a hot sun, causing a hard crust to form, so.
that the plants cannot force their way
through, and as a consequence they die, and
a good stand is not made. With grass, as
well as with other crops, it is quite an item
to secure a good even stand. Hence, as a
rule, it will ue better to sow the seed just
after a rain rather than just before, or, at
least, as soon after as the condition of the
soil will admit, taking pains to scatter the
seed evenly and to cover lightly.
The grass should be cut lor hay just after
most of the blossoms have fallen off and
the seed begins to form. The cutting, cur
ing and stacking, or moving away, should
be done nearly or quite the same as with
clover. Care should be taken to keep dry,
and to euro thoroughly before stowing
away. The quality is decreased if the grass
is allowed to get too ripe before cutting. If
wauted for seed it should, of course, be al
lowed to stand until the seed begins to
harden at least, but when intended for hay
it should be cut before it is allowed to get
too ripe.
When, from any cause, there is a liability
of the hay crop being insufficient to furnish
a full supply for the stock during the
winter, it will often be found profitable to
seed at least a few acres to millet, and es
pecially so when the land is reasonably
rich and can be prepared in a good tilth.
Have trees, and grass, and flowers around
the house to eat up the slops and dish-water
thrown out and emptied here and there on
the premises, and to render harmless aU
these substances that in their decay might
endanger people's health. This plan is bet
ter than to have drains or sewers as usually
constructed in and near farm homes. There
is a safer way, however, of dealing with
house slops, washing suds and liquids of
that sort. Keep a barrel on wheels near
the kitchen door as a fitting receptacle for
all such substances, and empty its contents
from time to time upon the garden, on
meadows or upon tho compost heap.
An old teamster of fifty years' experience
says he has never had a case of tne galls
upon his animals whero the following pre
ventive was adopted, which was simply to
rub the collars inside, every few days, with
a little neat's-foot oilt and tho moment any
dirt was found sticking like wax to wash
it off with warm soapsuds and then oil. A
yoke from oxen, or collar from a horse,
should not be removed when brought into
the stable from work until tho sweat is
entirely dry, and all chafed spots should be
oiled.
Every youug weed that comes up and is
cut down is one weed less to go to seed. The
way to keep down weeds is to allow the
seeds to germinate and then destroy the
young plauts. In this manner the work is
easier and better performed.
The fruit crop is doubling every ten years,
and attendant evils have also increased.
Insects are moro destructive than ever.
