Louisiana consols sold at 97. State securities inactive. The stock market opened irregular, but soon developed strength and prices rose 1-4 a 1 1-4 per cent, t-Jio latter New Jersey Central, which sold up to 80 1-4.

It was also reported, but subsequently denied, that parties had sold Northwestern in anticipa tion of the ratification of the proposed issue of Northwestern stock to take up the securities of the Blair system of roads, to be voted ou at the Northwestern stockholders’ meeting on Juno 20. After 2 o'clock Oregon & Transcontinental became active and rose 2 1-8, to 181-4, on reports that the lease of the California A: Oregan road was likely to be abrogated.

The week closing to-day lias disappointed our merchants in their volume of trade. There were four rainy days—then country roads were bad, and thyoga looked lather blue generally, hut good weather will doubtless give a better tone to trade generally. The Indianapolis Grocer covers the situation in the following manner: A purely undemonstrative, fueling pervades all Hues of business. 111 none do we hear of any enthusiasm. Questions of weather, crops, Indiana roads, oppressiveness of bitter competition, are oftener discussed than the business harvest, presumably awaiting the salesmans sickle. 111 its own good time trade will renew its youth and be what wc desire it: yet-the good time maybe a great way off. Some arc* piling upon Congress tlie burden of our disappointments, others lay it to the tariff, some to excessive competition, others to ov*t prod <•‘ion. and again there are those who amird to #* t- a its part in the work of tearing down the of trade. Sunny days, good v ...is .-J < . will soon make us iorget all this lamt give us plenty to do.

This condenses a whole sermon on trade into a nutshell: “What are the prospects for the future?” said u reporter for the 17. 8. Tobacco Journal to a cigar salesman, just returned from the West. “So far as Western trade in general is concerned, it is only a question of time when it will resume its normal conditions. Let Congress give us a rest and adjourn, and the largest trade-destroying factor will bo removed. But 1 apprehend that business will be very quiet, not to say very dull, until the politicians at Washington let up.” The flour market continues in a dull, unsatisfactory position. Eastern papers state that there has been no excitement or speculation,and dealers confine purchases to immediate wants, but the aggregate sales must foot up a fair average, as flour is and has been the cheapest article of food on the market. There has been no period in the history of the trade when flour has continued so cheap for so long a time. Many of the leading brands are sold up comparatively close, and the stock on hand is not large for the season. A turning point may be near at hand. If the recent advance in wheat is sustained, it must impart a firmer tone to the flour market, as present prices do not pay cost, and it is likely that we have touched the lowest point, with choice wheat comparatively scarce in leading Western markets. Reports are quite numerous about the large quantity of unsound wheat in the count ry, and choice brands of sound winter Hint will keep through the warm weather are likely to command good prices. The New York Produce Exchange Reporter says that ‘ high grades of winter‘straights* and patents have, as a rule, not been urged for sale, because they are in moderate stock, and at the current prices of choice wheat at the West and South, they cannot be replaced. Western millers have, since the Ist of Jauuary. had their patience sorely taxed; many lots of Hour sent hero by thorn have turned out unsound, and they have, in a few instances, called in question the accuracy of our inspection, but on visiting the city they have had a full confirmation of the integrity of our inspection, lu one instance, a miller remarked that if his flour was unsound, then the whole winter wheat crop east of the Mississippi rivor is unsound, and we think his opinion is not far from the truth, at. least so far as it regards the winter wheat raised north of the parallel.” GRAIN. Stronger piarkets all round covered the situation on Saturday. Dealers are showing more interest with the improvement in prices. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat that the local market* still continue firm and all cash offerings will readily bring full quotations. Receipts are very light. No shipping to seaboard points. Futures are all firm at quotations. New 7 York is l-8c higher; Baltimore lc lower, while Chicago shows an advance of 1 5-8 c from yesterday.

Don’t plow your ground when it is too wet; it will injure it more than two years’ cropping. It kills the life of the land, and makes it dead and heavy. A Vermont dairyman says a young calf should bo fed three times a day. Overfeeding at long intervals, and especially with cold food, kills a good many valuable calves. Mr. J. 13. Moore, of Massachusetts, says that in thinning peach trees of fruit you should take off what you consider enough, and then pick off half the remainder, as the majority of fruit growers do not thin them sufficientlyThe Fanning World says: “Wait till the ground gets warm before planting corn. Plant ing corn before the. ground gets warm is one reason the crop does not grow off vigorously at first, and is tho cause of much of the complaint about worthless seed corn. There is danger in planting in the winter. Better spend one or two days more getting the corn ground in good order; can <lo it cheaper and better before planting than after. Concerning the honey locust for hedges, the Western Rural says that “a good hedge can be raised to turn stock at a cost of 10 cents per rod under favorable circumstances, and it can be raised much cheaper 011 new ground than on old. It is necessary, however, to give the hedge good attention.” Tlie honey locust can be twisted into a rope when young, and will continue to grow in that form, just off tlie ground, sending up a network from the main rope so thick that a bird cannot fly through. As it is always full of strong, hard thorns no animal will attempt a passage through it, and being hardv and easily grown it should be more extensively cultivated. A writer in the Country Gentleman says: The easiest and best remedy for gapes in chickens is caustic lime, either air or water slaked. It should be dry and powdered. Take Uie chicken in the left hand and open tlie mouth, keeping it upright, and then drop a pinch of the dry lime into it. Hold iu this position a few seconds until it is obliged to breathe, when it will inhale some of the lime; then let it go. One application of the lime in this manner nas cured, in my experience, every case of gapes, some of them in the last stages. After trying a number of remedies I find this the best of all, as it is simple and sure, and does not injure the chicken. The lime kills the worms. Recipes. Savory Rice.—But a quarter pound of rice in a saueepan with sufficient sold water to cover it, and bring it to a boil; then drain and replace in tlie saucepan with three-quarters of a pint of milk and a little pepper and salt, and boil gently' until it is rather dry and quite soft. Place alternate layers of this boiled rice and grated cheese iu a small pudding dish which has been well greased, making cheese the top layer. Put some small pieces of dripping on the top of the cheese, brown iu tho oveu, and serve very hot Three eggs, one scant dup of sugar, two liberal teaspoonfuls of cornstarch, one lemon, juice ajid rind, two cups of milk, one heaping teaspoonful of butter. Scald the milk and stir in the cornstarch wet up in four teaspoonfuls of cold water. Cook—stirring all the time—until it thickens well; add tho butter and set aside until perfectly cold. Then beat tlie eggs light, add the sugar, the lemon juice and grated peel and whip in, a great spoonful at a time, the stiffened cornstarch milk. Bake in a buttered dish and eat cold. A Now Dish. —A strange dish, finding favor with the epicure himself (he in no case being told how it is made), is called bacon short-cake. Make a crust just as you do for the biscuit served with fricasseed chicken; roll it out in one large cake to be baked in a long tin: cut little slashes in tlie dough, and through these slip slices of bacon in. The bacon should be cut iu thin slices or strips about five inches long, and not half that width. Have these slices about three inches apart. Bake the same as anv shortcake. and serve hot As an entree, witfi game, this is considered especially appetizing. Tea Puffs. —Puffs, which are nice made fresh for tea, call for one pint of sweet milk, six ounces of sifted flour, four egges, a good pinch of salt The milk must be scalded aud then be allowed to cool a little, then stir tlie flour in. not leaving a single lump. Beat tlie eggs till they are very light, then add them to tho milk and flour. Fry these in hot lard, dropping a spoonful at a time, ns you do fritters. By taking pains you can make these puffs as round as balls. Do not let them “string” from the spoon, but, holding it down close to the lard, cut tlie batter off with a knife. .Sift powdered sugar over them just before sending them to the table.
