CONDITION OF THE MARKETS Wheat Is Again Doll and Neglected, and Closes at a Decline of About a Cent Corn Steady and a Shade Higher Stronger Feeling in Oats Pork Moderately Actitc at Keduced Prices Lard Quiet and DulL MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. Ihm Market Stroncer and Higher for Nearly . All tho Active Shares. NEW YORK. May 15. Money on call was easy at 2 to 2 1-2 per cent., closing offered at 2. Prime mercantile paper, 3 1-2 to 5 1-2 per cent. Sterling exchange dull but steady at $4.87 for sixty-day bills, and $4.89 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day -were 206,070 shares, including the following; Atchison, 16,151; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 21.113; Missouri Tacitic. 3,625; Northwestern. 3,400; Reading, 15,200; St. Paul, 7.9C0; Union Pacific, 0,175; Wabash Pacific, 3,200. The stock market shows about the same amount of business Irom day to day, with the interest centered in a few shares only, but to-dny there was a stronger tone than usual of late, and most of the active stocks are higher this evening. Oregon Transcontinental was still the great feature of the day, and while the buying was as urgent as during the preceding few days there seemed plenty of the stock for sale, notwithstanding that the daily borrowing rate went up to 1-8 per cent, and sellers' three-da ys options were made at a discount of 1-2 per cent. Sales at seller 5 and seller 10 -were recorded at 1 1-4 per cent, below the regular price. Tho difficulty between the Union and tho Northern Pacific was felt, and made those shares the weak point in the list, while Ortgon Nayi cation declined materially on small sales. The trading in the general list was mainly of a professional nature, but the buying by the Chicago party in the Grangers was a feature, and ljuriington fc Omaha preferred were advanced sharply at one time, but the others took a secondary place in the market. Notwithstanding the last report of reductions in coal prices, the coal stock became stroug, and Lackawanna and Delaware & Hudson, especially, scored marked advances, while Reading and Jersey Central were moved within narrow limits, though the latter named displayed more strength than the general list. Chicago Gas was again a feature, and rose to above 5b, becoming one of the leading active shares. The result of the sale of the Wabash was announced late in the day, and the stocks of that road became prominent immediately for strength and animation, the preferred scoring a materaial rise for the day. Among the specialties, Pullman developed weakness toward tho close, and declined 2 percent., but in on other stock was there feature or movement of importance. The market displayed some hesitation at the opening, and first prices were only fairly steady, while Union Pacifio and Omaha were down 3-8 per cent, each. New En gland became the leader at first, and moved up nearly 1 per cent, but soon reacted, and remained dull throughout the remainder of the day. Several stocks dropped below their opening prices in the first hour, but toward noon the coal shares came to the front, and their strength was Boon imparted to the rest of the list,which. howerer.made but slow progress. Toward delivery nour the Western stocks again became prominent, and the market took on a stronger tone than at any previous time during the day. and Atchison, Lackawanna, Chicago Gas and Transcontinental were all prominent in the last hour. The close was quiet, but firm to strong, and generally at the best figures. Pullman is down 3 per cent, and lennessee Coal 1, but Wabash preferred rose 1 1-2; Omaha preferred, 1 3-8, and Lackawanna, 1 1-8. The transactions in railroad bonds were somewhat larger to-day, and the tone, and especially in the afternoon, when the greater part of the business was done, was decidedly stronger, and at the close many issues were materially higher than at the last previous sales. No special feature marked the trading, but the important advances included Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwest firsts 3 1-2 to 08 1-2, and Texas Central sevens of 1009, 2 to 47. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were dull and featureless.

NEW YORK, May 15. Bar silver. 92 Uc TRADING AT CHICAGO. The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the Itange in Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, May 15. A dull feeling was developed in wheat to-day. There was less doing than yesterday, and at times the "pit was almost wholly deserted. Large traders seem disposed to hold off for the present at least. Prices, evlden tly are considered reasonably low, and operators are reluctant about putting out large lines on the "short" side, and at the same time do not take to the buying side, and are eontent to await developments. Prices again touched a lower point, and the feelln? was easy Fluctuations were slight, being confined within aze ranpe most of the day, but at the close sold off he more suddenly, ami the desing was lc lower than yesterday. The weakness was attributed to a lack of support. Crop adviecs are :enerally favorable. A steady xeelimr prevailed n corn, trading tetng only of iuodera.e volume, and most of the business was transacted early in the- session, after which the marketbecaine rather quiet. The prices were governed chiefly by local Influences. The market opened at yesterday's dote, was firm for a time, advancing s9ho ruled easier, reacting U & 3pc, partially recovered, and closed a shade better than yesterday. Oats were traded in moderately, and a strong feeling prevailed. There was little desire to sell, and the buying by a local operator caused firmer feeling, and an advance of 140o in prices, but it was not maintained until the elose. A moderately active speculative business was reported In pork. Opening sales were ct&a at

12a315e decline, and a further reduction of 5o

was submitted to. About the middle or tne ses sion, the market showed more steadiness, and prices rallied 7hl0ct hut toward the close prices settled back again, and the market closed quiet. A quiet and dull feeling prevailed in the lard market. Price ruled from .0oa.07cc lower, the market closing easy. Trading was fairly active In the market for f hort ribs, and the feeling was ea&ler. Prices ruled from .05 a. 07 lower, and the market closed quiet at inside prices. me leading futures ranged as louows:

The receipts of wheat for the past twenty-four hours were only 52 car-loads, the lightest day's receipts for many weeks. Sellers were Inclined to ask higher prices Xor grain that could be ground into flour, but tho yerir moderate demand from millers made it difficult to sell at any advance. The display on the sample tables was very light, but there was an absence of the milling inquiry that has characterized trading during the past week, and sellers, in most instances, were forced to accept previous quotations or carry away their offerings. .A few millers were looking at samples, and an occasional order was being filled for outside parties.

The temporary reducdnctlon made yesterday in Wamsiitta, New York Mills, Utica, Nonpareil and Mohawk Acme bleached shirtings from 1020 to .1040 has not affected the tone of the market, the movement being well understood, and not at variance with the general course of business doing for fall. On the basis of last fall's prices, the market is very firm, with an upward tendency. Orders for replenishment are now running light, but there is a good inquiry from larger buyers for next season, with some good sales. No general trade has developed, but some buyers are here, and their number will probably increase, with an early expansion of business. Metals. NEW YORK, May 15.

In all departments a healthy volume of trade is in progress, with firm prices prevailing on most staple articles. Even proVisions again have an upward tendency, and several advances will be noticed today in smoked meats. The produce markets are active. The demand for early vegetables is such that increased arrivals do not materially weaken prices. The early potatoes coming in are rather small, and sell slow. Old Irish potatoes still meet with some sale, but rule weak in price. Oranges and lemons are in large demand, and, on light supply, higher prices than last week prevail on good stock. Toultry and eggs are coming in more freely, and a weakening tendency is shown. The hide

market as yet Bhows'no good points. The Eastern demand is slow and West prices are weak. The wool market is active and prices aro firm. Grocers are fairly busy. While in the last few days no advance m prices of sugars, coffees aud teas have been established, tho markets lor the three staples are in a very 6trong position, aud, as a rule, all articles in the grocery line carry a firm and steady tone, in other departments of trade there are no new features worthy of mention.

St Louis Republic If one has as much stock as the farm can keep well during the best of the growing season, there must be some crops planted to be used for forage or the stock will not be able to make the growth they should. While there is plenty of grass is generally considered the best time tor securing a good gain at a low cost. . It is important that the stock shall be supplied with plenty to eat. And there are few pastures that will furnish as much feed during the latter part of summer as during May and June. And if a number of stock is kept that will consume all the grass during the best season, other feed will be needed later to keep them growing. The better plan is to provide, in advance, a crop that can be used for this purpose. It is true that many depend upon their meadows and stubble-fields to supply food that may bo needed; but it is often the case that a failure or a short growth in the pastures implies the same condition in the meadows and stubble-fields. And if the weather is very dry. the supply of feed that can be had from either is very small. The soil for a crop of this kind should be reasonably rich, so as to give a strong, vigorous growth, aud then care should be taken to have it well prepared in a good condition before planting. If not naturally rich a good application of well-rotted manure should be given. As very little cultivation is to be given care should be taken to prepare the soil in a good tilth. The ploughing can be done at any time the other farm work will permit, and then, when ready to plant, the harrow can be used in fining the soil. Sow in drills two or two and a naif feet apart so that if necessary a shovel plough or a cultivator can be run between the rows to keep down the weeds. After the plants have madn a sufficient growth to shade the soil no other attention will be necessary. If not sown until late, it will, in many cases, bo advisable to plant a few rows of some one of the larger varieties of sugar corn, as this will come in and be ready to use earlier than the other varieties ot seed corn. Drill the seed reasonably thick. It is not expected that much grain will be made, hence it will pay to sow considerably thicker than would be done if the plants were to mature grain. When it can bo done, a place should be selected for this crop convenient to tho lot or pasture, so that the stock can be fed with as little trouble as possible. Generally, the 1st of June will he plenty early, and especially so if the soil is in a good tilth, and is rich enough to induce a rapid growth. Two or three acres sown in this way will yield a large amount of feed at a very small cost. Sorghum, Kafhr corn and rice corn, all of which are of the same family, can be used, if desired, instead of corn, and what is not needed for feeding out green can be cut and cured to feed out during tho winter. The season often has much to do with the quantity required, and the best plan is to make sure of enough, and then store the surplus for uso during the winter. Farmer. Hired Farm Help. Prairie Farmer. In a majority of cases, it seems difficult for hired help to understand that they are interested in the success of their employers as well as themselves. Yet it is certainly the fact that but few can afford to hire help unless they can mako that help profitable. Still, many that must depend upon their daily labor for their living work as though they thought all that was necessary was to put in the time, whether it is profitable or not. On account of this lack of interest, they fail to make themselves profitable, and are out of work. This applies, to a more or less extent, to hired help of all kinds, and is f uil- as important with the help on tho farm as anywnero else. A good hand will make himself so generally useful as to bo profitable to his employer, while a careless man can easily bo a steady loss to his employer from the time he commences to work. There is no question but that of ten farmers, as well as others, go without needed help, for no other reason than that of unreliability. They cannot get help that will take a sufficient amount of interest in their work to try to make themselves profitable to their emploj'ers. And it is often the case that this habit of carelessness, fallen into when at work for others, will follow the man through life, and, instead of making a place and a home for himself, he will always be. depending upon his daily labor for his support. Thero is no question but that too nianv

1 who are working for others get into the

habit of . waiting for something . to turn up. and, instead ot pushing ahead, they keep waiting nil their lives; while if. at tho start, they learned to make themselves prolitable to theiremployer3. they would also make themselves Jrofttablo to themselves. Many a nian can ay bin first start toward success simply from tho fact that he made it a point tomake his employer's interest his own inter est. In learning his employer's interest he will learn his own and advance his own. As a rule, the best farmers, as woll as tho best mechanics and tho best professional men, are those that have commenced at tho bottom and built their way up. Most of them worked lor others to get a start, and their habits of looking after what others considered small things have been their stepping-stones to success. jc. J. s.

The Ibore faces are exact reproductions of photo graphs taken from life of Sirs. Morton D. Harlan, who resides at No. &5 West 23th Street, New fork City. The first one was taken in November, 187, while in the last stages of consumption, abandoned by physicians and mourned by friends. The other was taken in December, 1888, when completely recovered, and entirely through the use of Dr. Acker's EnglUh Remedy for Consumption. The above pictures are woo l euta, but they are true to life and the original photographs, taken from life, can be seen at all the drug stores. Mrs. Harlan's consumption began as consumption usually does, with & cough in the morning, raising of phlegm, tired and depressed feelings, a lack of appetite, tho toss of flesh and pains throughout the body. She did not realize her extreme danger until it became almost too late, but she is in perfect health to-day. Dr. Acker's English Remedy ror Consumption is sold by all reputable drug lists.
