MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

Response to the Sliver Agreement.
NEW YORK, July 8.-Money on call
was easy, ranging from 42 to 6 per cent.,
the last loan being made at 6, closing
offered atC. .
Prime mercantile paper 57 per cent.
SterJineexcbange more active and strong
at for sixty-day billa and 4.862 for
demand.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 107,
84 G shares, including the following: Atchi
son, 6,130: Delaware, Iackawanna fc West
era, JM.700; Northern Tacitfc preferred, 3,300;
Oregon Transcontinental, 4,200; Heading.

While the stock market of yesterday was
rather unsatisfactory especially to the
lighter "bulls," to-day's was more to their
taste in point of strength, but its narrow
ness was even greater. The agreement jn
conference upon a silver bill supplied
tho stimulating force for a short
time, but the effect was over
before the end of the first half hour of busi
ness. The foreigners were taking back
come of the stocks they parted with yester
day, but the limited demand was soon sat
isfied, and the dullness in the market be
came more intense than at any time during
the present depression in business. Even
Bilver certificates, in which the news on
the silver question created some animation,
failed to respond with any advance of mo
ment, though offers were made at 100, with
out takers. The ''bears" were inclined to
make all the capital possible out of the
failure of the market to respond to the
agreement 011 the silver question, but while
the "bulls" were not inclined to buy stocks
to any extent upon the agreement, they
were encouraged to hold on to what they
ave, and the "bears" were deterred
irom following up their tempo
rary advantage of yesterday. The
"bull" leaders speak hopefully of the
outlook, both for silver legislation
and a settlement of the railroad . dif
ficulties, which by many are regarded
as the moro important factors in the move
ment of pricts in th near future. When
these are out of the way the hope is to see
the beuetit from the recent large disburse
incuts expected by the street. The opening
of the market this morning was rather ir
regular, as compared with last evening's
closing rigures, hut the strength soon ap
peared, and the losses of yesterday were, in
many cases, recovered belore the end of the
lirst nalfhour's trading. The coalers and
rangers received tho most attention, and
ackawanna. Jersey Central and St. Paul
showed most strength, and wero followed
later by Oregon Transcontinental and
Sugar lteiineries. There was no movement
among the specialties of note, and the rest
of the list remained as stagnant as at any
time for tho past month. Tho traders
covered their shorts, taking appar
ently everything otlercd. and though
at this time there was some selling lor
foreign account, tho operations of the
foreigners amounted to little. -The up
ward movement in the coalers became more
pronounced in the last hour, and Lacka
wanna and Jersey Central reached the
highest figures of the day. The close was
dull and generally steady at about the best
prices of the day. The changes are for. in
significant fractions generally, but Jersey
Central is np 23, and Lackawanna and
Oregon Transcontinental!1 per cent. each.
Railroads bonds were very quiet, thongh
the Atchison incomes were fairly active
and a business of S35S.00O was transacted,
with but slight changes as a rule. The
market was at no time more thau firm and
the strong tone of the stock market failed
to reach it. Louisville Southern firsts rose
2io, to H).
Government bonds were dull and steady.
State bonds were entirely neglected.

TRADING AT CHICAGO.
Everything on a Lower Scale of PricesSome
Excitement in Corn.
CHICAGO, July 8. Wheat trading was
very fair and the feeling somewhat un
settled. There was a good general outside
business. The influences favored both the
long and short interests to-day, but ' there
was rather more inclination to sell, though
at the decline, or at the lower prices
reached, there was very good buying. The
opening was Qc lower than yesterday's
closing, held iirxn for a little while and ad
vanced 14nbC. and then weakened, and
nrices declined lc, fluctuated some, and
closed at about llc lower than yester
day. There was auothcr large trade in the
corn market, the volume of business being
fully as large as it was yesterday. The
opening was wild and exciting, pricea in
September varying c at the same time in
various parts of the pit. First trades wero
the same to under the closing prices
of yesterday, became weaker, declined
mc, ruled lirmer, and closed 34'2'7lc
lower thau yesterday. Oats were active,
but an unsettled feeling prevailed. Open
ing sales were at 1a'21c below yesterday's
close. A fair number of buying orders
were received, and prices advanced a3sc.
May showing the most strength. Increased
otlenngs and the decline in corn cansed a
weaker tone, and prices receded c on
the deferred futures, but rallied slightly,
and closed steady. Mess-pork trading was
comparatively light. July delivery ruled
easier, while other deliveries were steadier
A fair trade was transacted in lard. Prices
ruled about .Cti-c higher early in the day,
and the advance was fully supported. In
short-rib sides quite a good business was
reported. Early transactions were made
at .0220 advance. Later prices declined
.Gl-lOc, and the market closed steady.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Taking on Its Usual Summer Dull
ness, with Few Fluctuations In Values.
LNDIAXAPOLI3, July 8.
As usual with trade after July 1, dullness
becomes one of tbo characteristics; and one
good day's trade may be followed by two
poor days, but merchants are not disposed
to complain, so satisfactory was business
in April, May and June. In prices, to-day,
there wero no important changes. Staple
groceries carry a steady tone. Poultry, as
usual after the Fourth of July, is weak,
and the only thing which keeps the prices
on eggs up is that so large a per cent, of the
receipts after candling are found to be poor.
Old potatoes are gone and but few
oranges arc on the market, and they are in
light request. Lemons are scarce and in
brisk demand. The better tone to the hide
market is one of the surprises. The wool
merchants seem to be having prices their
own way whether it drives business from
the Indianapolis market or not
GRAIN.
The local market is much more active
than last week. Wheat and oats are in
active request at a shade stronger prices,

ate demand. Receipts of all cereals are

A Cow Per Acre.
New England Farmer.
Mr. John Gould, of Ohio, finds ho can
raise six tons of dry food in an acre cf en
silage of corn, which will furnish the car
bohydrate material required for two cows
a year. Bran and peas will furnish the
albuminoids. He was feeding in the win
ter 55 pounds com ensilage with ears. 7
pouuds of bran and 3 pounds of clover hay
per cow per day to a herd of twenty dairy
cows. The ensilage costs him 12 cent per
day, the bran 5 cents and the clover bay is
reckoned at 1 cent, though it sells at only $5
Ser ton in his town. This makes a total
aily cost for food of 72 cents per cow.
His cows give milk which sells daily at a
creamery for 33L3 cents each, the price be
ing $1.40 per 100 pounds. The yield is about
11 uuarts each.
His ensilage corn costs $15 per acre put in
the silo. This sum is made up by charging
$3 for interest on land, $1 per day for man
ual labor, and $1.50 for team work per day.
It costs just half of the $15 to cut the corn
and put it in the silo. A winter rye soil is
turned under to fertilize for the corn crop,
the rye being manured previous to mowing.
His cows are not pure bred, fancy stock,
but wer picked up in the vicinity, Mr.
Gould desiring to show farmers what can
be done with ordinary stock upon ordinary
land under intelligent management
, A neighbor of Mr. Gould's, Mr.C. R. Beach,
has bad ten acres iu Stowell's evergreen
sweet corn the past two years, which was
fed to twenty-one cows in milk. The first
crop was cut and cured, and fed dry with
ten pounds of bran daily to each cow. The
second year it was put into a silo and fed
with the same amount of brau. The dry
corn was used up March 2. The ensilage last
ed the second year till May 20. When feed
ing dry fodder, twenty-one pounds of milk
were required for a pound of butter, but on
ensilago food seventeen and three-fourths
pounds made a pound of butter the winter
through. The same head of cows waskept
both years. About 15 per cent, moro milk
was obtained on ensilage.
Three pounds of clover hay was fed to
each cow each day. The butter was sold on
coutract at tbirty-two cents per pound in
the Chicago market After paying for the
bran and clover, the net income was $120
for each acre of ensilage fed. Beside this,
Mr. Beach had his skim milk left for feed
ing calves or pigs.
Mr. Hiram Smith, on a large farm in Illi
nois, is keeping a cow to tho acre, and
finds the skim milk of his cows pays for
the grain purchased and the cost of milk
ing. His gross income per acre last year
was $63.
Mr. Smith, Mr. Gould and Mr. Beach aim
to learn the productive capacity of their
farms under nigh culture.

Budding is a method adapted to almost
all kind 8 of trees and shrubs. Although a
regular budding-knife is desirable for" the
purpose, still it may be readily and per
fectly done with an ordinary pocket-knife.
Budding is performed in tho late summer
and early fall. August is generally the best
month. The buds are taken from shoots of
the same season's growth, of the varieties
desired to he propagated. This shoot, or
clou, is prepared by cutting off the leaves
so that the stem or foot-stalk of the leaf
remains. At the base of each foot-stalk is
a bud. The bud is cut from the cion with
a sharp knife, by cutting with it a portion
of the bark about an inch in length, leav
ing the bud in the center, and deep enough
to take out a very thin portion of the wood
beneath the bud. The stock into which
the bud is to be inserted should not be
more than three-fourths of an inch in
diameter. An incision is made lengthwise
through the bark of the stock at the place
wherethe bndistobeinscrted, which should
be within an inch of the ground. A small
eut is then made at the top of the slit, and
at right angles to it, thewbole resembling
the letter T. The edges of the bark at the
cross incision in the stock are then raised
a little, and the bud pushed downward un
der the bark. A bandage of rag or yarn,
basswood bark or candle-wicking, is then
wrapped around the stock, covering all
parts of the incision, and leaving the bud
uncovered. The bandage should be tight
enough to hold the inserted bud closely to
the stock without bruising the bark. After
ten days or two weeks, remove tbe band
age The following bpriDg cut off tbestock
about two inches above the bud. All other
buds on the stock should then be removed.
The inserted hud will then bt gin n rapid
growth. After tbo young shoot from the
bud is three or four inches long, the stock
should be cut off close to the shoot and the
wound will soon be healed over by the
rapid formation of new wood.
Budding is the best means of propagat
ing the peach, nectarine and other trees
and shrubs of large pith, as grafting sel
dom succeeds with them. It may also be
performed with all other trees, and Is in
many respects preferable to grafting.
It is stated by a correspondent of the
Rural New Yorker that, if the leaves of the
common plantain are pounded, and the
juice squeezed out and rubbed on the band
or other part affected by contact with the
poison oak or poison ivy, it will produce a
cure. The person sending this to tbe paper
is said to poison very easy, and to have
tried many things at different times to ob
tain relief, but always without success un
til tbe plantain juice was found to be ef
fectual, sinco which time it has been used
frequently, and has never failed.
It should not be overlooked that the
plants are enemies to each other, and thcro
is a struggle for exisiteuce where they are
crowded together. All plants above tbe
number required are weeds, and do more
injury thau foreign weeds, as plants of tbe
same kind desire the same kind of food.
Hence, if four stalks of corn in a hill do not
thrive well pull up ono-half of them. Tho
plant food in tbe soil will bo more service
able for a limited number of plants than
for too many.
