6 UNCERTAIN BUT NOT SLOW The Wheat Market Far From Sluggish, a Good Range oj Prices Pre vailing. Last Quotations a Shade Better Than the Close on Satnr day. Financial Operations in the Moneytary Centers— General Quotations. Chicago. July 15.-The wheat market was far from sluggish to-day. There was a good range of prices, and business at times was very heavy.The market was that of an uncer tain kind, which often results when the news is one way and the feelings of the trade the other way. On the whole to-day, the news was bullish, while the trade was bear ish. The market opened higher for all fut ures, and made some advances all around on Hie receipts at principal points, which were lighter than anticipated. At St Louis, where the talk was for 300.000 bu. the receipts were 143,000 bu, and July wheat opened %c higher. At Minneapolis, -where 400 cars were expected, the receipts were 200 cars. Another bullish feature was the large de crease in the visible supply. The decrease had been estimated at from 500,000 bn to 800,000 bu, and it was soon apparent that the decrease for the week would reach 1 000 000 bu or more, and the official figures gkve the decrease as 1,245,000 bu. The de crease here was 244,000 bu, leaving a stock of all kinds of 1.95^.000 bu. Before noon there was a sharp decline from the best prices early, on heavy selliug by Hutchinson, selling for place, and the slight encourage ment given by the cables. Prices, however, remained at the bottom but a short time. Eight loads of wheat were engaged in this mar ket for export. New York reported some ex port business. There were rumors of better closing. Hutch refused to settle July. Prices went uu in quick time to the best figures of the morning and again reacted in part before 1 o'clock. July sold at 77c to 78c, to 77% c; December, 78% cto 78% Cto 78% c, to 78% c, to 77ffec The second bulge in wheat was no better sustained than the first, and prices de clined to the close. Last prices were very nearly the same as the opening figures, and from %®%c better than Saturday. Corn was dull from first to last. The range of prices for September, the most active future, was only %3. The.-c was no trading of importance at any time dur ing the day. Oats were a shade firmer. Receipts were 100 cars winter wheat 6 cars spring, 574 cars corn and 150 cars oats. Withdrawals from store were 17,4<6 bu winter wheat, 28,773 bu spring, 279,255 bu corn, and 24,232 bu oats. The Visible supply of corn decreased 150,0)0 bu. and of oats 618.000 bu. The pwvlsiou market was fairly active most of the session. The market ruled generally firmer, and clos ing prices all around were about 5c higher. Receipts of hogs were about 16,000 bu, and prices were from 5c to 15c higher, helping tlrst prices on the floor. THE QUOTATIONS.

The stock market to-day was quiet all the way out, but there was until the last hour a decidedly strong tone, which raised quotations to a materially higher level than those of Saturday. The improvement, how ever, brought in realizing sales and a large portion of the grains were lost. The foreigners seem to have most con fidence in the future of values for American stocks, and this morning the London figures showed material advances over prices of Saturday, and this market re sponded to the improvement, which was helped along by liberal buying orders from abroad. There was no pressure to sell stocks, and while there was little demand, the cov ering of shorts kept the upward movement going, but the loaning rates for stocks shows that there must have been a material reduc tion of the outstanding short interest in the past few days. Opening prices here were generally from % to Vi per cent better than Saturday's closing figures, but Missouri Pa cific was exceptional with a gain of lis per cent induced by the reports that there were efforts made to improve the rates in the Southwest and at the same time give them greater stability. The market remained quiet though lead was active. The trusts all opened materially higher. Sugar being up 1% per cent, but there was no movement of im portance in the list until toward noon, when Chicago Gas, which had dropped rrom 57% to 50, suddenly shot up to 58%. Renewed inquiry for 'he grangers, In which Loudon was very prominent, resulted in an advance of 1% in Rock Island, while Burlington and the others gained fractional amounts After noon the general market was completely bar ren of feature, but the Big Four stock rose 2 per cent and the new c, C, C. & St L. pre ferred gained a like amount The list, how ever, displayed little strength and the highest prices were reached toward ! 2 p. m. The realization then began and Atchison led off with a drop of 1 per cent followed by St Paul, Missouri Pacific and the trusts, sugar dropping 1%0. The market finally closed quiet but weak, with most stocks at close tothe opening price. The final changes are irregular, but advances are more numerous, and declines are for fractional amounts only, while Big Four is up 1%; C, 0., C. & St L. preferred 1%, sugar 1% and lead 1%. Railroad bonds were again dull, and the majority of the list showed no motion or feature. In a few in stances, however, there were material de clines established from last previous sales among the inactive bonds. The sales of ail issues were only 8955,000. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady.

Chamber of Commerce. « Cables were quoted dull at the staff ail closed lower. There were complaints of rain from the winter wheat belt delaying harvest operations, and in the spring wheat sections there were light showers. In the latter the weather was called favorable for small grain, with no fresh damage for a few days.' St Louis reported 143,000 bu received and 40, --000 bu shipped. During the last week St Louis received some 600,000 bu, but stocks increased only about 150,000 bu. One pri vate cable reported English markets sick, and New York wired that export business was slim. After the first half hour outside mar kets weakened and fluctuated later. Sample tables were pretty well loaded with wheat the start and sellers were hold- f ing in vain for Saturday's, prices. A. lew .--■- in--;-' :•■ ■ ..,-" lots of No. 1 hard were being offered, but there no bids within 2c of last week's sales. Local stocks show a liberal decrease for the week, and receipts were considerably less than had been anticipated. There were a few millers on the floor irom outside towns, but the combined demand for cash wheat was not great, and up to noon but a few sales had been made. Buyers of all grades were insisting on a couple of cents' reduc tion. Receipts were 290 cars and loi were shipped. Duluth received 3 cars. Following are the closing quotations: No. 1 hard, July, 81.01, on track, 8103; No. 1* northern, July, 96c, August Soc, Septem ber, 79c, on track, 97c; No. 2 northern, July, 82c, on track, 83@85c. The opening wheat market was slow with July quoted at 97c and by 11 o'clock had dropped to 96c, rallying %c in the next* thirty minutes. September was OSVac early,, but the desire to sell later brought it down to 78c with December at about 79c and Au gust at 80c. There was less No. 2 offering for July than Saturday. The visible supply decrease was 1,215,000 bu against about 615,000 bu a year ago. The decrease was a' little more than was expected, and hardened prices slightly, but the big receipts filled the sample tables, and at the high prices asked moved slowly, demoralizing the demand for ■ July. 3 Car lot sales by sample: 2 cars No. 1 north ern, 98c; 2 cars No. 1 northern, f.0.b., choice, 81.00% ; 7 cars No. 1 northern, 94c ; J 2 cars No. 1 northern, 95% c; 36 cars No. 1 northern, 97c; 8 cars No. 1 northern, 96% c;-. 2 cars No. 2 northern, 88c ; 2 cars No. 2 northern, 82c ; 12 cars No. 2 northern, 83c r 9 cars No. 2 northern, 84c; 21 cars No. 2 northern, 85c; 2 cars No. 2 northern, 81c; 5 cars No. 2 northern, 86c; 4 cars No. 2 northern, 84c; 6 cars No. 2 northern, 85c; 2 cars No. 2 northern. 94c; 2 cars No. 3, 78c; 2 cars No. 3, 75c ; 3 cars N0.3, 75c ; 2 cars No. 3, 73c: 2 cars No. 3, 77c: 4 cars No. 3 choice, 80c; 2 cars rejected. 74c : 2 cars re jected, 65c; 2 cars rejected, 75c; 2 cars re jected, delivered, 70c; 2 cars rejected, 73c ; 5 cars rejected, 75c; 15 cars sample, 99c: 5 cars sample, 90c: 2 cars sample, 85c: 3 cars sample, 90c; 12 cars sample, 70c; 2 cars sample, 03c; 4 cars sample, 4<»c; 0 cars sam ple, 50c; 2 cars sample, SOc ; 3 cars corn,34c ; I car oats, 20c; 1 car oats, 2*Sd; 1 old hay, 80: 1 cat shorts, 87.50; FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS. Flour— The following mills were running yesterday: Pillsbury A, Phoenix, Humboldt, Pettit, Minneapolis, Palisade, Holly, St. An thony, Galaxy, Excelsior and Crown Roller. The added daily output of the eleven mills grinding yesterday will probably aggregate 15,872 blils. There was a light request for flour Tuesday morning. Wheat fell during the latter days of the week, and that encouraged flour buyers to expect lower flour prices, and consequently to hold back and wait for a drop. There are a great many orders daily that are too urgent to be put off, due to the low state of supplies in the hands of both re tailers and jobbers. That condition of the market makes it imperative for flour manu facturers, that would meet the demand, to keep the goods on hand, as nearly all de mands are for immediate shipment Pat ents, sacks to local dealers, 85.45@5.05; patents to ship, sacks, car lots, 85.25@5.40; in barrels, 85.45Q5.05; delivered at New England points, 80.25(3.0.40; New York points, $6.15@6.30; delivered at Philadel phia and Baltimore. $6.10©6.25; bakers here, $3.5(@4.15; superfine, $1.90@2.65; red dog, sacks, 5i.30©1.50; red. dog. bar rels. 51.50@1.G5.

Quoted at 34@35c. Oats— There was little demand, and con ditions' were generally ot a depressing char acter, giving a dull and uninteresting market Prices ranged from 21c to 29c.

Value to Tillers ofthe Soil. : Dr. Franklin is credited with intro ducing broom corn into the United States, he finding a single seed in a lady's brush— said to have been im ported from India— which he planted. There are now 30,000 acres of this plant cultivated here, with an annual crop valued at $1,500,000. "Doctor," said the patient, "I believe there is something wrong with my stomach." "Not a bit of it," replied the doctor, promptly. "God made your stomach and He knows how to make them. There's something wrong with the stuff you put into it, maybe, and something wrong with the way you stuff it in and tramp it down, but your stom ach is all right." _- syr Flies and other. Insects often cause the stock to lose flesh, even when the best care is given. The small insects may give more trouble than the larger, being more numerous.- Horses should be protected with nets, whenever possi ble, and the pens and stalls should be kept clean. The hog-pen is a fruitful source of insects^and should be well littered with dry dirt to absorb all liquids. -yr-. .**" 5-7. irdJis " J" A Boise City correspondent ofthe New York Tribune remarks: "Irrigated lands are "lands that always produce large crops, and it is a mistake to sup pose that irrigation is only suitable or profitable in regions devoid of rain." The same mistake even yet extensively prevails in regard to under drainage. "No use in draining lands for cultiva tion unless they are wet or swampy," says the old-school farmer, when it has been shown for years (by expiriment and practice) that rolling lands are very much benefited by underdrainage. A double surface is substantially cre ated, so to speak, and growing crops on such drained lands are * often increased from 50 to 100 per cent. So with irrigation on the "desert" and alkali lands of Idaho and other far West regions. A prominent farmer writes: "In the neighborhood of Boise City, on ten acres of our poorest land, and with imperfect irrigation, 1 raised forty tons of red clover hay, sold 1,200 bushels of onions from two acres; pota toes gave 500 bushels to the acre; have raised 1.000 bushels on two acres; have also raised 113 bushels of bailey on an acre; wlieat from forty to sixty bushels; carrots and turnips equally good with potatoes." One of the strongest points of compe tition which foreign wool has over home growth, says a writer, is in this matter of care in tying and sorting the wool, the foreign article suffering a loss of only from 20 to 30 per cent, while American grown goes from 35 to 75 per cent, the average being for fine about 50 per cent. Can the manufacturer be blamed for wanting a good, straight article? Pumpkins should not be planted in the corn rows until the corn has been thoroughly cultivated and the grass kept out. A pumpkin vine among the corn rows sometimes interferes with thor ough cultivation and harbors weeds. It does not pay to grow pumpkins if done at the expense of injury to the corn crop. Pumpkins may be planted among the corn, however, and with profit, if the ground is kept clean and no weeds allowed to seed. The cheapest pork is made by the wise use of clover pasture. The com position of tlie plants meets the wants of the animal system to make a rapid growth. The season favoring the growth of the plant is most favorable to animal growth, particularly swine, when they have good shade and water. The ani mal digestive organs do not convert themselves into a furnace as in the winter to keep the body warm. Has anybody found out how cheap a pound of butter can be produced? It is said J. N. Muncey, a well known lowa Holstein breeder," has teen experiment ing with a view to finding out the ap proximate cost of a pound ot milk and a pound of butter. The results with two cows (Holsteins) were an average food cost of 38 2-10 cents per 100 pounds of milk, and a trifle over 8 3-10 cents per pound for butter. _ __ The tendency of the~times is toward the cheapening of everything consumed by mankind, says Dr. Hoskins in the Vermont Watchman. The farmers can not escape this tendency. They de mand cheapness in what they buy, and those who buy of them naturally make the same demand. It is inevitable, lt behooves every man to understand this truth. Only by understanding it can we prosper. The windmill is an implement that costs very little compared with the ad vantages derived. Water pumped into a tank can be conducted to the barn yard or to the pasture through pipes, thus saving the expense of pumps and the labor of pumping. Where there is no running water troughs can be ar ranged for stock and may be kept full without difficulty. - The wav to prevent soft shell eggs is to feed food rich in lime. The grains are deficient in that mineral, If you feed too much grain you give too much starch, and soon the hens will be over-fat. They cannot lay un less provided with material for eggs. Fat is useless on a laying hen. Her business is to convert the proper mate rials—meat, milk, and clover— into eggs. The facts brought out by experiments in the Wisconsin university show that of the first pint of milk drawn from a cow it would take seventy-five pounds of milk to make a pound of butter, while that of the last and thirteenth pint drawn 100 pounds would make 9,501 pounds of butter— all from the same cow and from the same milking. Andrew Burnett, ot Wellesley, Mass., as recorded by the New England Farm er, is a believer in hornless cattle. The head of his herd is a bull, half Holstein and half Jamestown (polled) and all of the calves are hornless. The bull has horns which were loose and movable up to six months ago, when they hard ened and became fixed. Before farrowing sows are the better for an abundance of exercise, and should have all they will take; and as soon after this event as they want to let them return to their accustomed ex ercise. But do not make a sow take ex ercise by compelling her to forage lor a living. Prof. 1;. B. Arnold says that a cow going into a stable filled with the odor of solid and liquid excrements will carry it into her milk in fifteen minutes. For this reason he insists that stables should be ventilated in such a way that pure air will come to the cattle from the front. Gates may be properly classed with labor-saving implements and machinery. Some of the fields and inclosures are entered many times a day. A gate is opened and shut in a few seconds. The removal of bars or other barriers re quires much greater time and labor. The question as to the best time to prune fruit trees was discussed at length at the meeting of the lowa State Horti cultural society two years ago, and a resolution was passed by unaninfous vote favoring the idea that the best time to prune fruits is when the leaves are about two-thirds grown in spring. The London Live Stock Journal an nounces on the authority of "Cosmo politan" that ISS9 is to witness the in troduction of an invention patented by C. A. Johansson, inventor of the hand cream separator, that will extract the butter direct from the milk. -A. L. Crosby, in the Orange-Judd Farmer, says that the majority of fail ures occur from overlooking and slight ing some apparently trifling thing, which, in reality, may be no more tri fling than leaving the nut off the wheel after greasing the wagon. Denmark expends 855.000 yearly for maintenance for dairy schools. The re sult is an immense improvement in the quality of the dairy product, and an in crease within twenty years in Den mark's butter export from 82,100,000 to 113,000,000 annually. Filthy quarters cause lice on all classes of stock, and at this season the vermin multiply very rapidly. An ani mal that is infested with vermin cannot be kept in goed condition, even with the best of feeding. When a peddler or solicitor of any kind comes along and wants to give something for nothing, you ought to know that he is a fraud. None of these sharpers sells you a dollar's worth of goods for 10 cents. There are so many learned female graduates nowadays thrown upon so ciety, there will be no need of a fellow buying endyclopedias or dictionaries. He can marry one, all bound in silk. If all of the Indians in the United States were all congregated in one vil lage, it would not be as large as St. Louis. Total Indian population in United States, 247,761. . - r Horses should have at least two hours' rest at noon. On very warm days horses suffer severely. They should be watered often, and at night shovld be swabbed and wiped dry. Bulls are very treacherous. It Is usually the gentle bull that injures his keeper. The older they become the more dangerous they are. Wagons and carts that are used daily should have the axles well greased at least three times a week. It lessens the work of the horses. . When young chicks come out this month examine them for lice, which come fiom the -tens to the chicks. . » _-, " ....■•■--■ ■ ■■■ " m " ==«■» J(L CHICAGO, ST. PAUL, 4<fiP|j|^ MINNEAPOLIS & OMAHA RY.
