Notwithstanding the general expectation
that the bank statement to-day would be
an unfavorable one. the bullish character
of the news and late developments in the
railroad world stimulated some haying,
especially for foreign account, this morn
ing, and deterred the professionals from
hammering the list. The opening, there
fore, was strong, though dull. and. excent
for a short time, the market presented a
xirm appearance throughout the session.
The manipulation of Chicago Gas,
by which it 'was dropped sud
denly 2 per cent. in the - early
dealings, was the cause of the temporary
interruption of the upward movement, but
tho loss was soou recovered, and, cm a very
moderate business, a steads' though slow
advance took place, leaving most of the
list small fractions better than last even
ing at the close. The features of the day,
besides tho movement m Chicago Gas,
comprised a sharp advance of Vo per cenL
in Pullman lalice Car stock, and a materi
al stain in Pacific MaiL for no apparent
reason. The trusts were very dull, and
moved within narrov limits Thorisein
Pullman was caused by att order to buy
a few huudred shares only.. The final
changes are generally slight, but Pullman
is up i, Pacinc Mail l1. and Canadian Pa
cihe l1!, the last named on sales of only 200
shares.
K&ilroad bonds were comparatively act
ive, with sales of $160,000. and the final
change show an unusual number of impor
tant gains, though they are usually among
inactive bunds. Haiti more & Ohio Par It
ers burg sixes rose 2U. to 120, and Chicago
Gas firsts 3 to 100.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

j'Sc lower oDcniug the market became
strong and advanced lQlc for the difler
ent futures, ruled steady and closed about
Ljc higher for July .and bigher for
the moro deferred futures than the closing
futures of yesterday. Operators were
rather bearishly inclined at the opening,
but the feeling was a little unsettled, and
on good buying a f toady advance in prices
was established. Cable advices were not
quite as favorable. Some foreign buying
orders which have been on the market for
several days at a limited figure were or
dered to-day to be immediate, and it was
thought that the foreign markets aro on
the poftit of turning up. Corn ruled quiet
and inactive most of the session. price
changes being slighL First sales were
ic under the closing prices of yesterday,
but afterwards advanced slightly, ruled
easier, and closed c lower, than yes
terday. Oats were dull and easier. Trading
was lighter and without special features.
A dull and unsatisfactory market prevailed
In perk. Hardly sutlicient business was
transacted to establish a market. Prices
ruled easier. In lard a fairly active trade
waiieported. Prices declined .05.07,
and the market closed steady at the reduc
tion. In short ribs quite a good business
was transacted. Prices receded .021a'2,.03c

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Very Satisfactory In Its Volume, wltn

ISDiAXAroLis, June 28.
The trade of the week closing to-day has
been good beyond expectations. Usually.
the last week in June there is a general
dullness comes oyer all markets, inorc bo
when the season is as warm as this year;
But trade is excellent in most departments,
and considerably above the June average.
The steady, firm tone to prices helps mat
ters, sugars being the only staple article
which shows weakness in the grocery line.
In dry goods firm prices rule, and the sales
of cotton goods continues large. The
mania for black goods is still noticeable,
and the wholesale men have found it
troublesome to supply the demand. The
flour market is quiet, aud bids fair to be
until the new wheat is on the markoL .The
provision market carries an easy tone, but
in a jobbing way there is a fair distribution
in progress. The produce markets aro act

at the recently advanced prices. Egs are
meeting with fair sale; there is no accumu

scarce and rule high in price. New armies

Work of Experiment Stations.
Philadelphia Record.
As the time has arrived for beginning the
work of preventing the loss of potatoes,
grapes, apples, plums, etc.. a few references
to work done at the several experiment
stations throughout tho United States mar
pi-ove of valuable aid to those interested.
The grape rot, black knot, woody aphis,
quince leaf spot, brown rot, cabbage worm
and other enemies must now be looked
after.
At the Delaware experiment farm grati
fying results were obtained from spraying
the vines with the Bordeaux mixture,
sprayed vines averaging over lifty-four
pounds of marketable grapes ou a row,
while the unsprayed vines yielded only a
fraction over seven pounds per row. or
about seven times as much from the sprayed
rows as from tho others. The fruit unon
the sprayed vines also ripened much earlier
because the fcliage was better. The Bor
deaux mixture adheres to the grapes, but
the coating is easily removed by placing
the grapes in wire baskets and dipping
them in vinegar water, rinsing twice after
dipping.
At Cornell University sulphide of potas
sium and carbonate of copper, applied
early in the season, in solution, are recom
mended for leaf blight in strawberries, and
in the fall burning of the leaves to be
practiced. At the Oregon Station a mix
ture of six ounces of London purple to one
hundred gallons of water proved better
than a stronger solution for the destruc
tion of the codling moth on apples and
pears. The mixture should be kept con
stantly stirred while being used. Spray
ing frequently and as late as September, is
recommended, but it is suggested that
there maybe danger from poison by late
spraying. Woody aphis was destroyed by
lye water (one pound of lye to three gal
lons of water), the kerosene emulsion not
being satisfactory. At the Ohio Experi
ment station tbe Bordeaux mixture, de
stroyed the grape rot and cheeked the
quince leaf spot, and was apparently suc
cessful with brown rot of plums and cher
ries. .
It is feared by growers that the arsenical
solutions are too weak, but in all cases the
weaker solutions have been more elective.
About half n pound of London purple, with
one hundred gallons of water is the proper
proportion. The Bordeaux mixture is pre
pared by adding sir pounds of sulphate of
copper and four pounds of lime, with fifty
gallons of water at the Ohio station, in
stead of twenty-two gallons of water, as
called for in the original formula. Tbe ex-
Senments mentioned are conclusive evi
ences that the grape crop may be saved by
beginning early in the season to spray the
vines, and repeating three or four times
during the year until the crop ripens.
Soap Sods for Plant Life.
Western Rural.
Strong soap suds are sometimes used in
stead of the kerosene emulsion, says a
writer, and I would recommend it instead
where a 'rash is to be applied to the roots
of plant to kill those forms of plaut lice
sometimes found on the roots of such plants
as do not extend very far into tbe ground,
or where the lice are confined to the larger
roots not far from the stem, as is often the
case. I have used it with success to kill
the root lice on melons, aud I do not doubt
that it would be serviceable in the case of
tho root lice ot cabbatresand turnips, which
I see do some injury in this vicinity. Not
only will the soap suds kill the lice, but it
will act as a fertilizer.
Farm Notes.
Overbearing kills a great many fruit
trees, though not always the same season.
The man who allows a healthy tree to over
bear is too greedy. The man who props up
heavy ladeu trees instead of picking off the
surplus fruit is a man who will soon com
plain "that fruit culture is a failure."
Tbe hills of beans, tomatoes and melons
will be crusted on tho surface unless there
are frequent rains, and a hard crust radi
ates heat instead of permitting it to enter
the eronnd. By working the hills over so
as not to disturb the plants the soil will be
come warmer and plants grow more rap
idly. -
Plaster has been found to be an excellent
fertilizer for nearly all kinds of crops, and
the best results have been obtained when
the plaster Is mixed with stable manure.
It not only preserves the manure while it
is in the heap, but serves to provide the
plants with limo in a soluble form, as well
as attracting moisture.
To renew an old bed of strawberries plow
between the rows as soon as the crop is
picked, and then level the ground with a
cultivator, following with the harrow. The
ruunerswill soon cover tho space. When
well set plow under the old plauts and boo
frequeutb. so aa to keep the weeds out. In
this manner a crop can be seemed on the
bed next season.
Friendly insects are of great bentiit to
fruit growers. A man who builds, lires to
destroy all insects that come along don't
kuow his business. Insect parasites those
that live rm destructive insects-aro often
of. immense nso. When science is further
advanced perhaps parasites can be bred
and traiuod for special work on potato
bugs, pear-leaf slugs, tho peach borer and
the red-headed grub which chewsoif straw
berry roots. And still, without insect
enemies, what would fruit be worth to the
grower? Massachusetts Ploughman.
The method of breaking bulls adopted by
Mr. John XI. Eddy, of .Saratoga, is worthy
of note aud imitation. It is said that hi
takes the animal at any agn and puts on the
same harness that ho would use on a torso,
turning the collar the opposite side up.
and hitches hiru to a two-wheeled, cart iu
some large held where there are no trees.
He then gets in for a rido. letting Mr. Bull
go where he pleases. When tho bull be
gins to tire, be contijauea todrivo him un
til ho is thoroughly.' conquered. After the
first trial bo has no diilkulty in working
him. lint be always keeps' a rope attached
to the ring in his noso 00 that the- animal
cannot run away.
