Theio were fqw stocks, in which the rango of prices was over s per cent., while most ot tuo list were traded in within a range of i. The only move ment of importance daring the day was a sudden rise in Heading, accompanied by a corresponding increase in its activity. The buying was entirely by brokers identified with the Philadelphia pool, but no expla nation was given for the movement, and - tho advantage obtained was cot retained. There was some buy ing of Missouri I'acific early in the day .upon rumors that tho dividend would be increased, and a script dividend, of l1 per cent, xvaa talked of, but upon the declaration of the usual 1 per cent, the dis appointed 6peculatoiH sold out again and the stock retired. Even the specialties. Which have furnished all the important movements of late, were stagnant, the only one of note being in Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, which opened at against 44 last evening, but again closed at 44 to night. Tho Flint &, Pere Marquette stocks . were weak in the forenoon, but recovered the loss late in the day, while tho Chicago fc Eastern Illinois stocks sold materially higher than their lest recorded sales. The market opened with a strong tone, and slight gains were mr.de in the early dealing?., but later the apathy of operators told on prices, and a slow sagging took the place or the linn tone displayed during the past fow days. Late in the day the intluence of tho approaching April settlements' was felt, and money worked a little eloper, rates pncall going as high as 5 per cent., which induced a little selling for theA short account by the local scalpers and .in . .the last hour, a more decided heavy tone was developed. The close, however, was dull and steady, at insignificant changes for tho. day. In no case was there a marked difierence between last night's prices and this evening's, though the declines are more numerous. Kailrcd bonds were comparatively active to-day. tho sales of all issues reaching 1,210, -CC0. The trading was marked by no features, as in stocks, and tho final changes of importance to-night are even less in number than usual of late. Ohio, Indiana & Western seconds rose 22, to 55; Kausas City & Omaba firsts 2, to 82. Government bonds were dull and steady to linn. State bonds were entirely - neg lected.

V Wheat Active and a Little Higher Retter " Prices for Corn and Oats Pork Steady. "CHICAGO, March 27. A moderate busi ness in wheat was transacted, and no spe cially new features wero presented. A prominent local trader bought fairly and talked quito bullish. Trading seems to be shifting more into July. Tho market opened at abont the closing figures of yes terday, cased off and later advanced c, closing qniet and about higher than yesterday. The July future sold at 1342 l7go ; discount below May prices. Cable advices were again of an unfavorable char acter to holders, but the dullness abroad did not have any effect upon the market here, excepting in a general way, which was governed mainly by home influences. Crop advices continue to come in bad, and operators are evidently placing more re liance upon tho various reports received. At least they were a little more timid about selling. That there has been damage dono by tho severe freezing weather some few weeks ago there is no doubt; but to what extent the plant has been damaged or wintor killcd is yet a question. There was also some report of new business at tho seaboard, which acted as a stimulant to the market and helped to carry prices to the top notch, In corn a moderate busi ness was reported within range, and the feeling prevailing was, on the whole, steady. The steady tone was due largely to the threatening weather and storm in Kansas. Operations were in the main locaL A prominent trader who bought May yesterday at 290 sold to-day at 204 2978C The speculative market opened at yesterday's closing prices, was very steady, advanced ic, ruled firm and closed 4C better than yesterday. . Oats we're traded In fairly, and a weak er feeling existed" in May at the start, sales being made at a slight decline from yesterday's close. Tho do maud from a leading operator was good and. the offerings not , being especially large, a stronger feeling developed anil prices advanced c, which was fairly maintained , until the close. Quite a good business was transacted in pork and the market ruled comparatively steady. Open ing sales wero made at25c advance, but later iu the day the feeling was easy and the improvement was lost. Only a fair business in lard was transacted and the f eeliug steadier. Toward the close the feel ing was easier and tho market closed at about medium figures. In short-rib sides there was only a fair business reported. Prices ruled comparatively steady and tho market closed quiet. The leading futures ranged as follows: Options. Ojtrni'g. Highest. Lcncttt.

Trade to-day fell short of tho standard of the previous days of tho week, but still was very fair in most departments. The rain doubtless prevented the country merchants coming in so large numbers as they did on Tuesday and Wednesday. Still the whole sale men are not disposed to complain of the volume of business the present week, so much of an improvement was it over that of last week. Iu prices there were but few fluctuations. ColTees and sugars are fluctuating in the Eastern markets, but tho declines of one day are followed by ad vances the next, consequently prices in Western markets are not aflected material ly. Foreign f rnits are very firm in tone and some lines rule higher. The distribution of canned goods is exceeding expectations and fewer canned goods are likely to be left over than last year. Some very fiuo oranges are coming into'.the market and soli reasonably low. in fact much lower than even good apples, saying nothing about choice. Lemons are steady and meeting with more sale. The produce markets aro active. Poultry, eggs, butter, all being in good request at quotations. Other markets are without special feature. GRAIN. The local market shows more activity than at any time in weeks previous. For wheat and corn thero is an activo demand, and prices, in sympathy with other mar kets, are advancing.

Their average weight on Jan. 2"was only 52 820 pounds. They wero coulincd to a com lortable shed, in which was running water, and were regularly fed with hay three times each day, while the grain ration, given at noon and night, consisting of oat&, bran and a little cracked com, weighed onlv one-third of a pound to each sheep per day. At tho end of thirty days, or on Feb. 1, the lambs were re weighed (at the same time of day as before) and showed an average gain of 5 85 pounds each in weight. This is apparently nothing extraordinary; bnt it is really an increase of over 10 per cent, on their origin al wei ght in thirty days. . The grain ration, it will be observed, was very small indeed, and designed for a healthful growth, and not for fattening purposes. Mutton sheep are fed at least lour or five times as much grain, and that of a more carbonaceous nat ure, when they are being fitted for the mar ket. But a lot of ram Iambs fed and treat ed in a similar way did even better. They made an average gain of exactly seven pounds each, or nearly 11 per cent, on their original weight. One lamb a small one weighing but 544 pounds made the phe nomenal growth of ten pounds, or an in crease of over 18 per cent, in thirty days. - The grain fed to each sheep costs less than one-third of a cent per day. It is claimed that tbe liianurial value of bran is 13 a ton: and that the larger part of this value remains in the manure. The Tee ter etatenieut would apply in the feeding of oats, bnt not so fully to corn, which, were ov, is not a good or a safe feed for sheep, as a rule, and may well be dispensed with. It was used in this experiment only to strengthen",the oats, which were light. He believes the cheapest way to purchase chemical fertilizers is to feed wheat bran largely. It would, however, be stating the truth but partially not to add that the lambs were fed the best hay possible for sheep. This consisted of rowen, Alsike . clover, a few daisies and some mixed grasses, all nicely cured and in every way palatable. Their feed, as a whole, both of grain and hay was quite nitrogenous. Not only this experiment, but repeated ob servations in caring for sheep, induce him to believe that sheep demand for their best development both in carcass and wool a close feed ration. . , Household Hints. . The mending of kid gloves shows far less if done with cotton thread than it docs if done with silk. .... To remove rust from steel rub with kero sene and soak for a day, polishing with emery dust and kerosene. Wlien one is fatigued and foot sore from much walking, it is very refreshing to bathe the feet in warm water and rub them with extract of arnica. A round piece cut from worn out cash mere hose, and cat-stitched to the wrong side of the knee of children's hose with strong cotton, will strengthen them greatly. In bottling catchup or pickles boll tbe corks, and while hot you can press them into the bottles, and when cold t bey are tightly sealed. Use tho tin-foil from com pressed yeast to cover the corks. A simple remedy for freckles: Put half a dozen rusty nails in a pint of water, let it remain a week or ten days, then pour off tho water and bathe the face in it, night and morning, until they disappear. Hot milk is good both as an instant reme dy for a couph, and as a awift "pick-me-up." Do not boil it; scald by heating till it begins to gather a wrinkled skin either in a farina boiler or in a bowl placed in a steamer. The hoop of a barrel, neatly covered with burlap, is bronzed or gilded, and a satin, crescent, tho semi-circlo of which is the ex act size of the hoop, is fastened to the in side rim. This makes the new wall pocket and is very showy. Nothing so qnickly restores tone to ex- hausted serves and strength to a weary body as a bth containing an ounce of aqua ammonia to each pailful of water. It makes tho llosh firm aud smooth as marble, and renders tbe body pure and free from all odors. To candy orange or lemon peel, . drop the skins as you accumulate them into cold water, keeping them nnder it by a plate. Boil them until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a splinter of wood. Drain and lay them in cold water imme diately. Put half a pint of water to a pound of sugar; cook the skins in it until the sirup looks very thick; lift them out on a plate to dry and sprinkle powdered sugar over them before they are quite cold. Every chair nowadaysmnst have a square, oval, rouud, saddle-bag or crescent head rest stuiled with down and covered with brocade, China silk, embroidered momie, satin, etc., and sofa pillows cannot be too quaint, or numerous, or broadly contrasted in color and material. Discard photograph albums, says the Lad'es Home Journal,- and have leather, brocade or chintz covered folding frames holding from one to twenty photographs scattered over tables, mantels, brackets, in fact, everywhere.
