' Notwithstanding the fact that all settlements for loared stock and money go over until Monday, the transactions at the Stock Exchange to-day foot up a fairly respectable totaL The trading was almost entirely free from excitement, and prices, except for a short time in the first hour, disolayed no special moreover t. The rumor was circulated that the Secretary of t.e Treasury would prepay the July interest, and thers .as considerable bnyine up oa this. There was some little purchasing from outside the city, and .London had bnying erders in . a few of He specialties. After the eorlr demand was supfilied. the market became da 1. but after he bank statement was published and was found to be less unfavorable than had been expected, better buying was noticeable. There was considerable noney loaned which had been borrowed in anticipation of a squeeze, and the maximum rate to-day was anly 9 per cent. There were attempts to work the market lower in the first hour, and a few stocks scored material declines, but in most cases thee were folly recovered before the close. Manhattan was remarVa- , ry quiet, and after opening up 4 per cent, at 139, flecl-'ned to 134 upon sales of only 500 shares, finally closing at 137. Te opening for the active list was Irregular, the changes from last evening's final figures ranging up to per eent. either way. Weakness was soon developed, and declines of from 1 to 3 percent, were established in the first half honr. The marke quickly rallied, however, and although the amoant of business done underwent a marked decrease, there was a slow but steady appreciation of values nntil the close, which was quiet but firm at close to opening finrures. The active list is irreeularly chanred. with a majority ' f advances.' but. with the exception of Manhattan, which is up 2 per cent., and Fort Wo th & Denvnr, which lost 14 per cent., the differences are for fractions only.

It would be hard to imagine a duller market than that in wheat on - tho board today. At times the pit was almost deserted. The sound of messenger boys' voices was scarcely heard, so light was the business transacted. The shipping demand was fair, and the offerings were moderate. The out inspection d urine: the past week has been somewhat over 3.000.000 bu, and the stock in store has been reduced about 2.O00.O00. July opened about 8 lower, at 70e. and fluctuated througnont the day between 69 a706c. closing at 69c A petition was circulated on 'Change during the day. asking the directors of the board to order an official inspection of the grain in store, with a view of disposing of "hot" wheat' scares in the future. The trading in corn was also very light, tbe market ruling quiet and the fluctuations being within a small raore. The crop news is more favorable, and has a tendency to create an easier feeling. Considerable 'long ' corn was offered- July opened at 368c and sold down to 35 c, the closing figure Oats were weaker, and lower prices prevailed. The speculative offerings were larger than the demand, and the cash demand was lighter than it has been of late. Jnly opened at 2540. and sold down to 25c. the closing fiirurc A comparatively light business was transacted in provisions. Offer in es were light and the demand was only fair. Prices averaged lower, which was largely due to lower prices for hogs. Trading was mainly in August and September. July ribs opened at '7.20c and sold to 7.25c. at which figure they closed. July lard opened at 6.30c and sold up to the closing figure, 6.35c Tbe leading futures ranged as follows: - Opening. High'nt. JjOtefM. Clonirui.

Indianapolis, June 25. In nearly all departments the volume of trade in t he week closing to-day has been highly satisfactory and considerably ahead of expectations, insuring that the trade of the present month will be the largest of any June in the business history of Indianapolis. One of the largest dry-goods merchants says that their house is unable to understand how it "Is that their sales have been so large this month, running thus far some $30,000 ahead of June. 1886. The hardware men tell the same story. Their business has obliged them to employ more men and work ove-rtime to fill orders. Druggists are enjoying a big trade, selling more paints and oils than ever before in one season. The leather dealers report their trade good for June. The hide market is rather fiat, but no more so than for some months past. Grocers are doing a good bussiness, but in character a hand-to-mouth trade. The high tone to the coffee market, and at the same time its unsettled condition has made country merchants cautious in buying all descriptions of groceries, they expecting a general break in the market, but there is little probability of this, as, except for coff res, the tone of prices is firm and steady and the range low. There is a large distribution of sugars in progress and the prices are strong. In the provision market there is little doing, but this is the time when quiet times are looked for by the provision men. The produce markets are active. Receipts of hens and chickens light; prices firm. Butter is coming in quite freely, but so much of it is of inferior quality that it sells slow; good stock moves readily. Eggs are coming in freely and prices are shaky. Small fruits, gooseberries excepted, are scarce and high for so late in June. New potatoes are coming in liberally; really ripe large potatoes will bring $3.50 per barrel, but a large per cent of the arrivals are small and half ripe and sell slow. Cabbage, green beans and other vegetables are abundant and prices nominal. In other markets there is nothing new to note. Little can be said as regards the dour market so at variance are the opinions of the millers and the grain-dealers. GEAIN. The local market was in better shape to-day than either preceding day of the week. There was a firm tone to prices, and a steady feeling. Wheat was firm at an advance of cent, and in good request on the part of millers. Corn stronger, and in good demand for home consumption and immediate shipment. Oats unchanged. Bran higher.

A WILD MONTANA STQKY. A Scout's Perilous Adventure la the Wolf Country. San Francisco Examiner. "I read with considerable interest the report in the Examiner of tbe pigeon-shootioc match between Dr. Carver and Graham, the English champion," said a gentleman front the North to a reporter yesterday. "But as interesting as I imagine the match was, I do not believe it was -so absorbingly so as one I witnessed between Dr. Carver and Vic Smith, or Yellowstone Vic, as he was called. It took place last July at Livingston. M. T. Dr. Carver was out with Cole's circus eiving exhibitions ot glassball shooting, and that was a more drawing card than the menagerie or tumbling, or even the horseback riding. Bright and early the cowboys came in from the ranges from a hundred miles around, many having been on the saddle all night The quick work of the Doctor commanded general admiration, and he was lauded freely, for while the cattle-herders were all crack shots with the rifle and Colt's revolver, they knew at once they had not the ghost of a chance against the roan whom ilr. Cole bad introduced into the Territory. "Just after the doctor had finished his exhibition Marquis De Mores, the cattle baron of Dakota, approached him and said that he had a man he would like to match for a thousand or so at glass-ball shooting. Carver was not making matcnes just then, but be courteously agreed to accommodate the Marquis and his man. Whispers were then going around that Yellowstone Vic was the unknown, and a few bets were made at par. In half an hour both men were ready, and rode out of the canvas covering three hippodromes put to a level piece of ground. "The way those two men handled their respective horses caused the liveliest cheering, and tbe boys from the ranges were wild with delight Then as the contest began mirth was suppressed by keen excitement "Cowboys always want the best man to win, "and though they felt the honor that would be tonferred upon them by a victory for their own man, they never once intimated their desire to see Vic triumphant It was the closest contest Dr. Carver had, for it was a tie, and when the match had ended the two men shook bands, and the Doctor said, 'You're the best man I ever met, Mr. Smith, and though it is a tie, I'm satisfied to let it remain so.' " "This little speech was hailed by loud demonstrations of approval, and then Carver asked Vic if he could not travel with him, but as Vic was chartered to Marquis De Mores for a bear hunt be could not join the circus. "Vio Smith is a famous character in the Northern Territories, and though he is less than thirty-five years of age, his experience as a government scout has given him a wider knowledge of the country along the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, the Big and Little Horn, and Powder, Musselshell and Tongue rivers than any man in Montana or Dakota. I 6pent a day in Vic's company last summer, and be told me an event in his life that was as remarkable as it was interesting. He was born in Milwaukee, and ran away from home at the age of thirteen. When seventeen he was carrying mail between Fort Abercrombie, en

Devil's lake, and Grana Forks. The" city of Grand Forks was then only a wolf station. That is, there was only a shed for travelers to put up at, and and for men who poisoned wolves for a living during the winter. They received bounty money for each tail and sold the pelts, and they did quite well during the fall and winter. It was in the fall when the frosts were heavy and biting cold, that a rich prospector named Brown arrived at the wolf station, and told the men that he was looking for land. He intimated that he had $5,000 upon bim. and was anxionB to have it laid away in some secure place for the several days he would remain in camp. The men were all supposed to be honest, and tbe traveler had no fear. "In the camp was a dissolute man named Robinson, who bad been lounging about for a month and making himself generally obnoxious to the other men. Brown had been in camp three days wheu Robinson took leave of the. men with the remark that he was going up to the fort, which was 120 miles distant and a three days' ride. "Vio was out a day and a half from Fort Ab9rcrombie with his mail, and was riding along at an easy canter when Robinson rode up. 'Hal.'o. Vic.'hesays, 'that's a nice horse you're riding.' Vic answered that it was, but thought Robinsou's was a much better one. Then the latter proposed a trade, and to htirry up a bargain offered Vic a premium of $50. It was accepted at once, and as they were parting Robinson banded him a pistol, which he told him to put in his 6addle-pouch. Vic was very happy when he pulled up at the next 'dog station,' about sundown, and set to work preparing hia supper of bacon and bread. He had juet finished his repast when half a dozen wolf men came up to tbe door. They did not speak, and after waiting some time for them to make some remark, Vic told them, if they wanted any supper, they could come in and cook it for themselves. 'There's lots of bacon and flour, so helD yourselves,' be said. They looked at each other and then roared with laughter. 'You've got considerable gall, youngster,' they said, and then one stepped in and took him out of the shanty. They bound him hand and foot, and then driving a stake into the ground tied him to it This done, they went in and prepared their supper. Vic was young, though spirited, and he begged that they would not leave bim in that position all night, for be would freeze. They would hold no conversation with him, but turned in and slept until morning. When day broke they arose and found Vic numb and apparently lifeless. His limbs were swollen to twice their size from the hemp which had been tied so tightly around them.. He was in a frightful condition, and his loni?, black, glossy hair was turned to white; not a black hair could be seen. One old man in tbe party took compassion on him and loosened his hands. A consultation was held and it was decided to hang him at once. " 'Where did you get your horsef they asked. He told them, but they did not believe his story. Then it just dawned upon him that tbe horse he got from Robinsou was not his property. He was correct in his surmises. Brown left camp the day after Rooinson did, and the latter, knowing that Brown intended passing along the trail next day, lay in wait and murdered him. A traveler, passing soon after, noticed tbe body and informed tbe wolf men at the station. They started out immediately to find the murderer, and seeing Vic with Brown's horse, supposed they had the right man. "Vic pleaded with tears in his eyes and asked them to go up to the fort and ask the officers there whether he had not left there only two days since. "They did not wish to go to the trouble, but the old mafi said they should give him that little show for his life, and the others acquiesced. They decided to take him within six miles of the fort, and wait there while one man went up and inquired what time Vie had left This was done, and Vic's life was saved. But what really saved him was tho absence of trees where he had been taken, for, had there been one about, his execution would have taken place that night.. Since that time Vic Smith has been the terror of vigilance committees in the Territory. Ho has no respect for any of them, and would go miles to see a member lassoed. For the past two years he has been employed by the Marquis De Mores and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, who give him $20 for every bear he steers them against" Salt in the Garden. Wortli. in London Horticultural Times. Thirty years' successful use of salt upon all kinds of crops has proved its value to me. It 6hould not be used upon cold, heavy or moist soils, and, if any one does, he will be disappointed in the result, as its tendency is to keep the ground cool and moist It will do such soil more harm than good. It should not be cast upon very young and tender plants of any kind, as it will be very sure to kill them. Judgment should be employed in using so strong an agent I had a friend who heard me recommend salt on onion beds, when I strictly urged that it should be dragged or worked in before the seed was sown; but, forgetting what I said, he did not salt until the onions were about two inches high, and it killed them all: but sowing another crop properly it turned out splendidly. Had be waited until the tops were as big as a large pipe stem, be might have covered the grouud an inch deep, and his onions would have done finely. Onions should be sown on the same ground year after year, as they continue to improve. There are yards a hundred years old. and their yield would astonish the common grower. The tops, when cut off, should be scattered over the ground (do not leave them in lumps), as they make the best food for. the growing onions; then sow salt, and then put on a coat of manure. Salt is not much of a fertilizer in itself, though plants take it up. as you can tell by tasting and by the stiffening and glaziog of straw of a plant grown in salted ground. I think it acts upon and assimilates -tbe gross matter in the soil, so as to make it available food. It should be in every garden. Call the "Witness. Sioux Citv Journal. President Cleveland would be a good witness to call now upon the question as to whether tbe soul of old John Brown is marching on. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla, When she wae a Child, she cried for Castorla, When she became Miss, she clung to Castorla, When ah had Children, she gave them Castoria,
