The room traders were conspicuous, sellers having dlscov ered that there were no supporting orders on the board.

New York Central fl it to 1-64, and other stocks flat to 2 per oent. for carrj ing. Commission houses report better inquiry for stocks from small investors, small lots being taken and paid for. The Evening Post says: Tta e general range of the market was higher today than yesterday, notwithstanding the closing prices to-day were lower than yesterday. The speculative element in the market, that which buys or sells to oatch immediate fluctuations made from day tb day, made from manipulation aud false reports, is still mainly on the bear side. Speculators who buy and sell from hour to hour are still exercising their ingenuity, mainly in causing depressions of first one stock and then another, but aside from this there is a gradual though moderate absorption of stocks for investors, who do not pay much attention to the daily fluctuations of prices. Os course, this class of Investments will not be large as long as the speculators keep prices depressed, hut now that crops generally are secured, except the corn crop, which seems to be reasonably certain to he larger than the average ot past years, it is probable the buying of stocks for in vestment will increase until its effect will be felt iu the daily market The transactions at the Stock Exchange today aggregated 415,000 shares, as follows: Delaware, Lackawanna A Western 106,000, Denver Sc Rio Grande 18,000, Erie sfooo, Lake Shore 81.000.

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and Provision Markets. Indianapolis, Aug. 29. While there is a better tone to trade, a tameTiPUR still broods over the general merchandise markets, and what is to be the volume of the f il trade and what it peculiarities, are now the practical questions with business men. The conditions are not radically different from those of last year at this time. The surluce changes have been mostly favorable. Those crops which give as our greatest Importance in the commerce of the world—'Wheat and cotton —promise less than last year, bin will partly compensate for the deficit by higher prices. By as much as th process of liquidation has advanced, the situa- • ion has improved, and ibe doubt whether It is •tar its cu.U m lie uncertain element. The fail-

ure statistics give us no evidence that the tide has yet turned. That there will be in general trade neither great activity nor disastrous depression, it is safe to predict. There is an uucertaiuty that will make dealers cautious, a reduction of supply and a degree of thrift among the people that will create a fair demand for merchandise The makings of a sudden collapse do not exist in any important department of legitimate traffic; in stock speculation the only safe assumption is that they always exist. Locally, our merchants are carrying large and wellselected stocks, bought at prices which will enable them to compete successfully with competing merchandise markets. The receipts of eggs continue meager, but the recent advance appears to have curtailed the consumption, which is always of small proportions at this season of the year. Butter and cheese continue quiet nnd unchanged; some dealers report a slightly improved demand for choice butter, but all agree that prices are no better. All kinds of fruits in liberal supply, but the lower prices has in creased the demand; a great many people are now “putting up” for winter use. Grocers report coffees firmer; also, salt fish, while sugars go off *8 of a cent. The provision market is still iu an unsatisfactory position. GRAIN. Tameness still broods over the wheat market. More Interest is taken in corn, and bidding on ’Change was quite spirited. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: “Local dealers report markets ruling easy aud inclining to dullness; $1.05 track was bid for No. 2 rod, but only wanted io small quantities. Beaboard is %® 7 8C off at New York, and *4®%eat Baltimore, and Chicago is likewise lower, about *40.” We quote: No. 1 Mediterranean, traok $1.12 No. 2 Mediterranean, track 1.08 No. 3 Mediterranean, track 1.06 No. 2 red, track 1.05 No. 3 red, track 97*2 Unmerehantcble, track 80 No grade (nominal), track 20 August, track 1.05 September, track 1.05 Corn continues very firm, with a snore active den>und than usual for all grades.

Agreeably to announcement, Wilderming, Hucte & Cos. sold at auction to-day for account of Knower Sc Thomas and others, 7,734 pieces of dry goods. The attendance of buyers was very light and bidding lacked spirit. Qualities and styles of various qualities were very undesirable in every respect. Prices realized very low, but full value f-r goods; in fact, it was the most unsightly offering seen In an auction-room for a long time, for which reason its results will be without any effect on the marker, as good qualities in desirable styles are beginning to be scarce and are sought after at full values by chief purchasers.

Intending “silk-culturists” will be interested in the statement of Mr. J. Fry, of Blacktown, New South Wales, who has been working with silkworms during a long period. He is convinced that mulberry trees must be at least ten years old before they can give silk of high quality. The Ohio Farmer says; “The longestlived tree is to be obtained by planting seeds where the tree is to crow, and grafting it there without ever removing it. but it will be too long coming into bearing; this with apples and pears, but with the peach it is the way to insure the greatest possible hardiness with any given variety.” The water that flows over a plowed field washes off the most soluble portions of the soil, and deposits them iu the bottom of the ditches. When it percolates through the soil to an under-dtam the loss is reduced to the smallest possible amount. There is some loss in under-draining water; but even this i9 in great part prevented by having a growing crop on the ground all the time. The evidence recently supplied by the Scottish Chamber of Agriculture asserts that the effect of lime is most durable upon pastures that are grazed. It lasts longer upon good than upon bad land, and longer upon clays and heavy loams than upon light land. A full dressing of lime lasts for a number of years. Except on old mossy land, lime is best applied to grass land in the form of compost. Cleveland Herald: It is announced that at the present day not a cow can be found upon the Island of Jersey that has a better butter record than fourteen pounds of butter per week. Tliis shows that the idea of importing Jerseys from the islands had best be abandoned, for the American breeders have not only improved the size and other characteristics of the Jerseys by judicious selection, but have already several twenty-pound cows and any number with records of over sixteen. Tiie fact is that we are overdoing this importing business in some respects, and the better way would be to go on with what present stoqk we have, and breed into the class of dairy stock we need, as the above proves. Does Farming; Fay? Neliraeka State Journal. The proceeds of the Stratton farm, containing 320 acres, situated two miles northeast of Lincoln, will sum up about as follows for the year 1882: Grains.—Five thousand bushels of corn, 1.000 bushels of oats, some sugar cane, vegetables, 250 bushels of potatoes, ten tons of turnips, three tons of beets, thirteen wagon lyads of field pumpkins and squashes, and an abundance of garden vegetables of the finest varieties. Hay and Pasture.—Two hundred tons of hay; on the farm are two fenced pastures, one of wire, that kept eight head of cows, some young cattle, and would have supplied as many more; the other of board fence, in which run twenty head of horses. Fruits.—There was an abundance of grapes, also good variety of small fruits; a lot of peaches, the first bearing of 300 trees; a few apples gathered from an orchard planted four years ago, consisting of 2,000 trees. Hogs. —There were fed hogs, of which about SI,OOO were sold early in the fall at $7 per 100 pounds, live weight. Weeds. —None were allowed to grow on the farm. All the drives and avenues, as well as highways bordering on the farm, of which tin?re are two miles and a half, planted with maples, were kept mowed and free from weeds; also a well-kept lawn with a good variety of evergreens and shrubbery. Besides all this* the rise in value of the farm would be about equal to 40 per cent, on all investments. Does farming pay? Grorgr Faikman, conductor P:, C.

PLAIN TRUTHS The blood is the foundation 01 life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious. Brown’s Iron Bitters will thor oughly and quickly assimilate wit! the blood, purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause headache or constipation, and is positively not injurious. Saved his Child. 17 N. Eutaw St, Baltimore, Md. Feb. 12, 1880. Gents Upon the recommendation of a friend 1 tried Brown's Ikon Bitters as a tonic and restorative for my daughter, whom 1 was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, I was loth to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daughter had taken one bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show sigus of Consumption, and when tiie physician was consulted he quickly said “Tonics were required and when informed that the eider sister was taking Brown's Iron Bittbks, responded “that is • good tonic, take it.'' Apcram Phelps. Brown’s Iron Bitters effectual ly cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Weakness, and renders the greatest relief and benefit to persons suffering from such wasting diseases as Con sumption, Kidney Complaints, otc
