A trip through the general merchandise market to-day made it evident that there waa a little more activity to trade in several departments, hut the volume, as a whole, is still disappointing, and likely will be the regaining days of 1884. The belief gains ground, however, that, with the coming in of the new year, trade will begin to revive and prices advance; for the trouble now is that at present prices there is a small margip, And this, coupled with a light trade, makes tlie situation the more discouraging, In groceries there is a fair movement. The consumption is' gpoken of as large, with the supply abundant. The coffee market is still offish. Eastern papers Teport that there has been a light trade in ttio coffee, and the market is weak on a basis of 9] cents per pound for fair cargoes. Java and other mild grades are in fair jobbing demand, and holders are very firm for desirable Jots of t Java. The warehouse stock on the Ist of De-’ eember amounted to 137,843 mats, and the deliveries for November to 22—220 mats. The ctock of Itio and Santos, and the visible supply, at latest dates, was as follows: Total stock in New York 380.760 Total Stock ru Baltimore 113.450 Total stock in New Orleans 29,979 Total stock in other ports 29,044 Total stock in United State* ; 558.233 The tendency of the tea market is to still higher rates, and if the line trade improves as expected after the Ist Os January, an advance of 2to 3 cents jcr pound is predicted. Japans arc without special movement, but held at steady prices. All kinds of poultry is plentiful, and Belling at low prices. Eggs are a little offish. Butter in good supply; only choice saleable.

An old horseman says: “If you want to buy a horse don’t believe your own brother. Take no man’s word. Your eye is your market. Don't buy a horse in harness. Unhitch him and take everything off hut his halter, lead him around. If he has a corn, or is stiff, Qr has any other failing, you can see it. Let him go by, himself, 9, ways, and if he staves right into anything you know 110 is blind. No matter how clear and bright his eyes are, ho can’t see any more than a bat. Back him, too. Some horses show their weakness at tricks in that vay when they don’t in any other. *But, be as smart as Vou can, you’ll get canglit sometimes. Even an expert gets stuck. A horse may look ever so nice, artd go a great pace, and yet have fits. There isn’t a man could tell it till something happens. Or he may iiavo a weak bfifck. Give him the whip and off he goes for a mite or two. then all of a sudden ho stops in'the road. After 1 a rest he starts again, but. he soon stbps for good, add nothing but a derrick can move

him. The "weak points of a horse ran be better discovered while standing than while moving. If he is sound he will stand firmly and squarely on his limbs without moving them, feet flatly upon the ground, with legs plump and naturally poised; or if the foot is lifted from the ground and the weight takeu from it, disease may be suspected, or at least tenderness, which is a precusor of disease. If tho horse stands with his feet spread apart, or straddles with his hind legs, there is a weakness in the loins, and tho kidneys are disordered. Heavy pulling bends the knees. B2uish, milky-east eyes in horses indicate moon-blindness or something else. A had tempered one keeps his ears thrown back; a kicking horse is apt to have scarred legs; a stumbling horse has blemished knees. When the skin is rough and harsh and does not move easily to the touch, the horse is a heavy eater, and digestion is bad. Never buy a horse whose breathing organs are at all impaired. Place your ear at the heart, and if a wheezing sound is heard it is an indication of trouble. Deep Plow ing and Moisture. K ansae Farmer. Professor Budd. in the lowa Homestead, condemns the storing of cuttings in the cellar as ordinarily practiced, “in sand or earth just moist enough to preserve them in condition suitable for grafting, as thus they will fail to absorb the requisite moisture needed for changing the starch stored in the cell structure into sugar water, and the base of the cuttings, instead of callousing, will be found k. little blackened and the bark and cambium layer at the extreme base dead or nearlv so. If these cuttings are put out the upper buds will start, when tho requisite heat is furnished by the sun, and exhaust all the stored nutriment ir. tho catting before a show of callousing is ex. H ced at the base. On the other hand, if the same cuttings were packed in sand in a corner of the cellar, or in shallow boxes with tho base of the cuttings upward and screened from tho air by not more than two inches cf sand kept all the time moderately moist by sprinkling, every cutting will callous. When planted in the open air. such cutting will emit roots before the top buds make much of a start, and with few failures, will make nice plants before fall. But the commercial grower should not bother with keeping ligneous cuttings in the cellar. It is far better to pot them in a pit in the open air. Set the bundles upside down in a shallow pit on dry grouikl, as tightly together as they cun be crowded. Cover over the top about five iche.s of earth, and as it grows cold cover the hole with fresh horse manure to mainly keep out froct. As the sun gains strength in the spring, take off the manure, and Take the earth line and even. Tho sun heat will finish the callousing of the buds of the cuttings by the time the ground is ready to receive them. Treated in this way, the farmer cun root the grape, the woigolia, tho tree honeysuckle, several of the spireas, the catalpa and a greater number of trees than ho might suppose possible.

Farm Notes. It is stated that Mr. John Dimon, of the Essex stock fa™, Walkervilie, Ontario, has a breed of fowls that are too short-legged to scratch, hut are industrious in clearing gardens of bugs. They were originated by him after fifteen years' experiments in breeding, and are considered great curiosities. A farmer who takes the trouble to find out what his soil, climate, and location is best suited to procure, aud selects from these such tilings as his taste, capacity, and facilities will enable him to cultivate to the best advantage, and keeps-on that line through thick and thin, has as sure hold on success as is vouchsafed to any calling or occupation here below. A Philadelphia grower f early lambs reports that his earliest brought $lO per head. Single choice lambs were sold in Boston at #1 per pound. To get these high prioes the Jantbs must oomeenriy, be kept warm and tiwe dams led so as t® give a liberal supply of milk until the young are able to oat.grain. This all .involves labor aud expense, but is well repaid. Many farmers, where apples are a profitable erop, ate utilising the roadside by planting some of them near or on'the road line. The -roots, of comae, extend to the road, get the wash from the droppings of horses driven thereon, and otherwise fare much better than trees planted in fields kept in grass or grain. Another ad vantage tile apple tree by the roadside lias is plenty of room to spread its branches, and amplesunlight to color and give flavor to its fruit. A hog-farm is to be established near Denver, Col,, by the Alfalfa Live-ptock Company. Six plows are already at work turning the soil preparatory to seeding in the early spring. Fourteen hundred acres will be planted to alfalfa, the remainder to grain. Hogs will be purchased next season after tho crops have advanced to sustain them. All the appliances for a model hog-farm will be had, and no expense will be spared to make the experiment a success. A correspondent who has been troubled by coughing horses, says that from observation he has become convinced that the manner of feeding clover hay has been the entire cause. His custom, like that of many others, has been to let the animal draw the hay down through a rack, thus stripping off the hue dust, which was drawn iuto the lungs in respiration and produced the cough. He believes the remedy for this trouble to be in giving the animal his feed in tho natural way, i. ~ allowing it to gather the food from the level of its feet, binee changing his racks to mangers the writer says he has had no further trouble with coughing horses.
