2 per cent. x

The total sales of stocks to-day. were
2C0.040 shares, including the following: At

Pacific, 5.250; Western Union, 3,870.
The stock market to-day continued to
feel the effects of the stringency in money.
The tone of the dealings remained heavy to
Weak almost thronghont the day, and while
movements of importance were confined to
a few stocks, and the remainder
moved only within narrow lim
its, the extreme decline ranged
up to 3 per cent, and the weak stocks did
seven-eighths of the business. The weak
ness in the trasts was again the most con
spicuous feature of the market, but while
clique support was noticeable in some por
tions of the regular list, Burlington, which
has been the strong feature for the past
few days, weakened, and a drive at Mis
souri Pacific met with good success on
some rumors of a new complication in
Atchison, and the latter followed with a
material decline. Louisville & Nashville
and Manhattan were specially strong ia
the forenoon, and both did much to stem
the decline among the stocks of the regular
list, but weakness on other specialties,
such aa Jersey Central. Delaware & Hud
son, and some others, neutralized
their effect. Manitoba dropped pre
cipitately in the last hour upon
an attempt to market a block of the
stock. There were rumors of a decision in
the case of the North Kiver Sugar Refinery,
and they helped to drive that stock down
against the bottom, but stories ot a dis
sension among the directors were used with
considerable effect. There was no now of
importance beyond the encouraging re
ports of the condition of general business.
&nd the 'bears" were both active and ag
gressive, being assisted by a leading opera
tor from Boston and a delegation from
Chicago. The bank statement of Satnr
day was an influential factor in opening
the market weak, and Sugar was off I1? per
cent. . Money was tight, and renewals were
made at from 6 to 8 per cent., while
money was afterward bid up by
some manipulation to' 15 per cent.
The trnsts were conspicuous from the
opening for weakness, and in the regular
list Burlington and Atchison, with Jersey
Central ana Delaware & Hudsont led tho
declines. The strength in Louisville and
Manhattan served to check the downward
movement, and caused a rally of moderate
proportions before noon, but a drive at
Missouri Pacific and Atchison once more
started the list upon the down grade, while
the trusts again took the lead. Tho easing
up of money gave a better tone to the deal
ings toward delivery hour, but Manitoba
drooped 6 per cent, and the others again
followed, the market closing weak at close
to the lowest prices. The list is gen
erally materially lower, Louisville &
Nashville being the only marked exception,
with a gain of ls percent. Cotton Oil is
down 2' Manitoba, 6; Sugar, 2; Atchison
and Missouri Pacific, l5 each: Tennessee
Coal. 1?; Big Four, 18; Rock Island, North
western and Pullman. 1 per cent. each.
Railroad bonds were very dull, and
shared in the depression in stocks to a lim
ited extent, and the final changes this even
ing show a large majority of declines. The
sales were only $075,000, and the dealings
were devoid of special feature.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
State bonds were dull and without feature.

TRADING AT CHICAGO.
TheUps and Downs of th Market, with the
Bang La Prices of Leading Articles.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7. Thero was more do
ing in wheat to-day within rapidly
fluctuating and moderate range of prices.
Trading was spasmodic, favoring at oue
tirae the buying and then the selling side.
The market opened strong but fell off
quickly under largo offerings, the impres
sion being that the visible supply would
show a very large increase, and 2'hQ de
cline was established. When the returns of
stock in sight on the blackboard com
menced to show that tho early anticipations
might not be realized by half, there was
some buying to get back wheat sold, and
also some long buying. This carried prices
steadily to the top notch of tho day or Sao
a bove early inside prices for December and
He for May. As usual, however, when the
figures were posted there was dis
position to realize which carried
prices back again to inside figures,
of the day. Arouud 83c for December tho
buying by a prominent local trader became
quite conspicuous, and this proved to bo
the lowest point of the day. 1 or some time
the market ruled steady, and tho closing
finally was the srme as Saturday for De
cember and Hhc higher for May. Corn
ruled quiet and inactive the greater part
of the session, trading being almost ex
clusively local, and fluctuations within
narrow limits. A prominent local op
erator was a moderate purchaser of year
and seller of November. Oats were active,
weaker and lower, prices receding c, re
acted slightly but closed easy. The de
pression was due to heavy arrivals. Trad
lug was only moderate in mess pork. Price3
ruled 5 a-7 W lusher and the advance was
fairly well maintained. Only a fair busi
ness was transacted in lard. Prices .TS
.ICc higher, closing comparatively steady.
A fair trade was reported in short ribs and
the feeling was firmer. Prices ruled .7V2
,10c hither for October and iVi-Sc for the
other deliveries, and the market closed
rather steady. Leading futures ranged as
loiiows:

ters at SOs 7d for the corresponding week

stiffened prices. Foreign wheats were
weaker. The large offerings of English
wheat undersell the imported. Com is de-

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Opened Fairly Actve To-Day with Sev
eral Fluctuations In Values.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 7.
There was a fair volume of trade in prog
ress to-day, and a weaker tone character
ized some markets. In the produce mar
kets, on largo receipts, hens, chickens and
eggs went off a little, while butter, if
choice, wiU bring our , best quotations. In
the grocery market, sugars went off, higher
grades be, lower grades The New
York Commercial Bulletin says of refined
sugars: -
'Refined have finally realized calcula
tions made by buyers and gone oil" o per lb
all around. At this shading the demand
has been much better than at the other
drops, partly because buyers were really in
need of stock and partly because tho
smaller decline indicates that should an
other follow thev are not likely to be stuck
more than c on any supply in hajid."
Tho cottee market rules steady. The same
authority say 8 of coffee: 'Vo do not believe
there has been any actual change of opin
ion upon either side of the market since tho
first of the month, as there really has been
nothing substantial to turn upon. On tho
whole, thero seemed a tip of tho scale
slightly favorable to buyers, and it would
probably have become moro so under pres-
i a. a. i .
sure, out tne pressure um noi come, anil
the daily canvass among houses holding
desirable goods has excited repeated as
sertions of confidence and an expressed de
termination to carry stocks with a showiug
of firmness until better convinced that the
plan should bo abandoned. They have re
ceived considerable encouragement, too, to
day, not only in an increased demand, but
in actual business with jobbers that would
seem to jnstitiy the opinion that not only
is actual coil'eo wanted, but that it has
merit enough to stand independent of and
even go contrary to tho speculative turn."
Dry goods men and boot and shoe-dealers
had a busy day and trade with the manu
facturers of confectioneries begins to im
prove. The hide market presents no new
features and the same is true of the leather
market. The iron market is higher, with
prices advancing in their tendency.

Farm Notes. .
The Maine Farmer criticises agricultural
societies that make three-year-olds com
pete with mature auimals.
A thrifty fanner makes tho statement
that by investing 50 cents in awls, punches,
ehoe-maker'8 thread, wax and. sowing nee-,
dies, $10 worth of repairs can be earned in
a year.
The cost of producing fifty hughcls of
oats on one acre is more than 50 per cent,
less than if the fifty bushels were produced
on two acres. The cost of a pound of but
ter from a cow that produces only 1 100
pounds a year is twice as great as it would
be if produced from a cow that yields 200
pounds a year.
Stockmen who have made observations
in feediug swine are claiming that some of.
the breeds have lost vigor by long-contin.
ned feeding of corn as an exclusive food.
Corn is deficient in mineral matter, espe
cially of lime, aDd the use of corn leads to
degeneracy. Ouly by a varied diet can the
vigor be maintained. Injudicious feeding
leads to disease and loss.
In case persons, especially children, be
come poisoned by eating wild parsnip, po
tatoes which have been in the sun nntil
they are green, eating too much celery
without other food, eating peach or pium
seeds which are full of Prussicacid, or even
eating peach or wild cherry leaves, until a
doctor can be had. they should be given
immediately, to neutralize the poison, soda,
salt, chalk, oil or milk, etc.
It is well to remind turkey-raisers that it
is not the large turkeys that bring the high
est prices, but those of medium size and
in good condition. The large turkeys will
excel in weight, bnt tho smaller, plump, fat
turkeys sell at higher rates per pound.
The quality and condition are the prime
factors. Begin feeding the turkeys in the
barn-yard, and give them all the grain they
will eat.
Bulls are dangerous animals, and a ma
jority of the injuries received occur from
placing too much confidence in gentle
bulls, which suddenly and unexpectedly
attack the attendant. A bull will usually
prove obedient when young, but it is sel
dom that a fully matured 'bull is safe. No
bull should be kept on a fann that has not
been riuged', in the nose, and it should bo
made to work if training it is possible.
As soon as the male chicken is caponized
it loses its masculine nature and associates
with the hens. They are excellent nurses,
and will accept broods of chicks, scratching
and "clucking" for them exactly like hens.
They do even better service than hens, as
they never wean the chicks, the capons
nursing, tbm until the chicks become so
large that they voluntarily leave their,
protectors. Any brood of chicks may bo
given to a capon and he will accept them
at once.
For a test we once kept several cans of
milk submerged in ice-water for seventy
two hours, and then made a good sweet
cheese of it, the milk and cream having
seemingly become emulsified in the cheese
vat as completely as when set. Hard cream
raised through open setting, unless melted
or strained, will not be incorporated in the
cheese. But submerged cream, not having
had access to air, docs not go in clots.
Hoard's Dairyman.
Hon. John D. Lyman, of New Hampshire,
one of the best authorities on forestry, says
thatthe best time to cut timber for dura
bility is at the period when it is in full foli
age in midsummer. When felled at this
time and left with limbs and foliage on it
will season quickly, will not rot, and the
worms will not touch it. An observing old
countryman of our acquaintance always
felled his year's stock of wood at this season
of the year for the reason that it seasoned
so quickly and completely.
Butter takes less from the soil than any
thing else produced on tho farm. Milk car
ries from the farm, when sold, the nitrogen
and mineral elements of its compos' lion,
but butter, boingcarbonaceous principally,
does not contain tho fertilizing elements of
the soil. Following the growth of plants,
and their conversion into milk and butter,
it may truly be said that butter, through
the many agencies, is derived from tho air,
as the leaves of plants appropriate the car
bonio acid of the air as food, retaining tho
carbon.
