The New York Market Continues Strong at Advancing Prices. New York, Peb. s.—Money; easy at i ®l| per #*ot; offered at tile close at 1 per ceht Pfimfe mercantile paper, 4®5 per cent Sterling exchange quiet; 60 days, s4B3s; sight, +-mGovernments were active, but quiet State securities were quiet The stock market opened strong this morning, and a further material advance was made for •ome of the most active stocks, notably Western Union, Northwestern, Lackawanna and Manhattan Elevated. Prices continued firm nntil about 2 o'clock, when leading “bulls” called a halt and thus checked the rise, to comply with the earnest demands of prominent operators that a moderate reduction should be permitted to take place. This caused an average dnqAina during the last hour, of about 1 per cent it is confidently expected that the market will be taken hold of again to-morrow and the advance con tinued. There is a large “short” interest In Western Union, as was shown by the faet that there was a difference, to-day, of as much as J per cent, between sales for cash under the rule and transactions in the regular way. Lackawana leaned in the forenoon at 3 64, and New York Central at 1-G4. Brokers say a good feeling is spreading, amt business promises to become much more active. Union Pacific bag been quiet recently, and it is said the comCuy is not satisfied with the funding bill now fore Congress, arid that Geuld and Huntington are opposed to it in its present shape. The market was less active to day, especially daring the last hour, the total sales only amounting to 250,064 shares, of which 72.340 were Laekawana, 37.820 St. Paul, and 29.700 Western Union. Notwitlwfcasfling the break in the afternoon Laekawana closed this afternoon unchanged from the final price yesterday (92$)* after selling at 93,. New Jersey Central was g higher, at 34|; Manhattan Consolidated £ higher, at 7*3, and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Reading and Missouri Pacific each J higher, at 120, 15$ and 96. respectively. Erie down 1, to 11 J, and New York Central at 87$. Union Pacific at 49 and Rock. Island at 109$. are each f lower, while Lake Shore shows a decline of at 61$. Reports were freely circulated during the day that the Erie road would have difficulty iti meeting the interest which, matures March 1, and that some of the statements made found ready believers is indicated by the fact th<\t Erie securities were active and materially lower: Erie gold 7s are down at 111; West Shore firsts were also 1 lower, at 331. Transaction's, 252.000 shares, to-wit: 74,000 Lackawanna, 10,000 Erie; 13,fi00 Lake Shore, 28.000 Northwestern. 10,000 New York Central, 38,000 St. Paul, 30,000 Western Union. STOCK Ql'Of ATKIN'S.

Business with the railroads is assuming large proportions, and with such improvement must follow greater activity in the markets generally. AaeutpoJated freights are beginning to come fop ward briskly. Leas is heard about deficiency of traffic in either direction, and it begins to look as if the movement es merchandise approached the expectations so loug entertained. The distribution of merchandise is becoming gradually larger, and manufacturers, especially of iron and steel, are increasing their production, partly eu orders, and partly because they calculate that presept fjost of materials and wages makes it profitable to accumulate manufactured •took. It is in this way that improvement is trade begins, and we ai’e now probably witnesses this beginning, the growth from which ought to b continuous, unless checked by circumstances beyond the domains of trade and industry. The relation between our exports and imports continues to make a large trade balance in our favor, and the movement of stocks and bende to this market from Europe is far from being heavy enough to overcome this. Locally, there is a good February trade in progress, and margins show an improvement over those of the corresponding time one j f ear ago, and, taken as a whole, there is a tendency in most lines of goods to higher rather than lower prices, augurs, coffees and canned goods are moving out more freely at steady prices. Fresh eggs, choke butter, and healthy, fat noaltry, especially the two last named, readily bring the highest quotation*. There is it fair demand only for hog products, and prices are not specially strong. URAIV.

For the benefit of several subscribers who have written for further information concerning the cultivation of artichokes, which are highly recommended as food for hogs by agricultural writers, we give the following experience of a correspondent of the Country Gentleman: Os the Jerusalem or sunflower artichoke, about which some of your correspondents have been writing lately, there are several varieties, red and white skinned, in cultivation. It pre tentious gardens in Europe, especially in France, where these artichokes are included among the regular crop of vegetables, the varieties are kept distinct ana named; in America, however, where they are but little used as a garden vegetable, the varieties have lost their identv, and we know them merely as white or red. The cultivated varieties produce less “vine" and more “root” than does the wild plant—the species. There is an idea.current that the tubers, if lifted and stored, cannot be kept over winter. Now, I grow these artichokes, and I lift them in November, and store them in company with beets, carrots, parsnips, horseradish, salsify, scorzonera, potatoes and other roots and tubers in my root house, and without any trouble keep them in good condition till April. 1 store them in sand in shallow piles, and keep the house as cool as possible without admitting frost. As food for hogs and hens they are good enough, and. really, I think that is all they are good for. Os course many people use them as “a dish,” and I know some persons who profess to like them. They are very indigestible. Tfie globe artichoke, although of the same family of plants as the Jerusalem artichoke, is a

thistle rather than a sunflower, and a plant of immense proportions. My plants, six feet apart each way, were not six months old from the seed before they crowded each other so much as to completely cover the ground, and interweave their leaves. The “fat'’scales of the flower heads are the pirts used for food. These heads, on old plants, appear in June, and as soon as they are larjre and plump, and before tho bluish flower comes in sight, is the time to cut. Then boil them. The meat on the scales has a sweetish taste, but it is tedious picking. At best it is but “a dish.” If the heads are kept cut off as they are fit for use. tho plants will bear, more or less, all summer long. In Landreth’s catalogue, just to hand. I find: “Artichoke, Long Glebe. This plant succeeds only in the cotton belt. Plant the seed early in the spring, two or three inches apart in rows, the latter separated so as to admit of hoeing; in autumn, transplant to permanent beds, allowing each plant two or three feet square of room; carefully protect during winter by raising over them a mound of light, dry covering.” My way differs considerably from Landreth’s. On March 4. I sowed some seed in a box iu a warm greenhouse. They came tip in 9to 11 days. Potted them singly, and afterward repotted them, till by May they were in six and seven inch pots, and in a cold frame; here they were well hardened off. May 20. they were planted out, six feet apart each way, into good ground. By midsummer they had met each other; in August they began to crowd each other: toward the end ot August some of them showed flower heads; Sept. 5, began cutting from then; Oct. 13, cut a lot of heads (the last lot;J Nov. 15, still strong, fresh, healthy-appearing—no sign of dying down; Nov. 28. cut over, and cleared away their leaves to rot pile; then covered each crown with an armful of dry tree leaves, and spread a little sedge over them to keep them from blowing away. Prom my old plantation I began cutting on June 23. and continued to cut, more or less, till the middle of September. Undo He zeki all’s Experiments. Our Country Home. One night arter all the chores wus done, last spring, I tho’t tho’ts I cz how I wud try some experiments on potatoes, ez I’d been readin’ ’bout other farmers doin’. Sum of my agerculteral papers had been tellin’ as how they had razed I,oo®, 1,200 and even 1,300 bushels taters to the acre, or 1 should say at that rate, so why couldn’t I? So I went to work. I found one o’ Sally Ann’s old flower boxes out in the shed that had five separate boxes or apartments into it, and took it out into the garden. Sally Ann spied me. “What 3'er doin’ with my posy box out there, Ilezekiah?” sez she. “Experimentin’.” sez I. “I’m jest goin’ to see how many tatters I kin raze on an acre and prove it. What’s the everkistin’ use of idlers scratchin’ and diggin’ for twenty-five bushels to the acre and small ones to boot, when sum of our hardfisted laborers who edit agercultural paper, and who kin do no more nor I kin, raze 1,300 bushels? That’s what I want to know.” At that Sally Ann went into the house and 1 went to work.. As I sed. the box was five feet long inside measure, and exactly one foot wide. I numbered ihe plots 1, 2. 3,4, 5, got some good soil and pm in all just alike, then mixed in, or else put on afterward, several kinds of these ver later fertilizers they tell so much about (I don’t give no names, as that might advertise ’em a little, you know), only on one plot I didn’t put none. Well, then come tho question of how many eyes to the hill, so I put ’em in No. 1, one eye; No. 2, two eye; No. 3, three eye, and so on through the five. You should hev seen them tdter tope grow tlrongh during the summer. Looked like a young hedge, they was so rank! It bein’ out of the question to do much with a horse and plow, I give ’em level culture with an old trowel. But now fur the result. Plot 1 lmd ten taters measured nine quarts; plot 2, six taters measured seven quarts; ]dot 3. twelve taters, or ten quarts; plot 4, eight and eight, and plot 5, thirty and twelve quarts. “There you he,” sez I, “all easy figurin’, and figure don’t lie." Let's see, now! Altogether I raised 46 quarts in a box contaiuiu’ five square feet. Accordin’ to old Daboll, in an aero there is jest 43,560 square feet, aud in 46 quarts there’s jest 1.4375 bushel, that is. one busliel and so much over. Now if 1 divide 43,560 by 5, that’ll tell how many 5 foot boxes I'd have in an acre, which gives 8,712 boxes. But in every box thar would of course be 1.4375 bushel, so multiply -8,712 by 1.4375 and it gives 12.523-i bushels. That’s clear. “Thar you hev ft,” sez I, “I’ve beet the world. Tell everybody Uncle Hezekiah has raised 12,523$ bushels of taters to the acre, and there’s your figure. It's as plain as the nose on your face,” sez Ito myself. But speekin’ a leetle too loud Sally Ann overheerd me, and she sez: “What’s so awful plain, Hezekiah?” “Why, these yer taters aud these yer figures," sez I. “Them is whoppers,” sez she, “both taters and figure; nnd now you’ve done so well, Hezekiah, I ’spoae you’ll plant that big side-hill lot next spring, and show folks how to raiso 12,000 bushels on every acre, hut you’ll have to piv your individual nttenshun to each individual hill. Now, ’fore you write out you experiment, Hosekiah, for the papers, you’d better make it plain that you didn’t hev 8,000 and more boxes like mine all over yonr acre patch, ami that it was at the rate of 12.000 bushels, not actually that, for you’d hev all our neighbors lafiiu’ at you, Hezekiah, jest as they do at these big jdelds of corn and potators they read about in some of our agricultural papers ” Recipes. Jelly Pudding.—A delicious pudding is made of crumbs of stale cake, or even of bread crumbs. Put a layer in the bottom of a pudding dish, and then a layer of jelly; currant or raspberry jelly is the best; continue putting in these alternate layers until the dish is nearly full; then pour over it a custard and bake. Serve with a thin wine sauce or a sauce of boiled custard flavored slightly with vanilla. Lemon Pie.—Two lemons; grate off the outer peel, chop the reel very fiae; put two tablespoons of corn starch in one teacup ot hot water and boil; when cool add two teacups of white suirar and the beaten yolks of four eggs; then add the chopped peel nnd the juice; stir well together; bake till the crust is done—only one crust; beat the whites of the four eggs to a stiff froth; add five tublespoonfuls of sugar, stirring in well; pour over the pie while hot; set in the oven to brown. Cider Cake. —To make a really delicious cider cake heat three cups of sugar, ouo of butter, and yolks of four eggs to a cream, then stir in six cups of flour (not heaping cups), beat till smooth and light. Put one teaspoonfoi of soda into a large cup of sour cider and stir quickly, before it stops foaming; beat it into the cake hatter; when this is accomplished add one cup of stoned and chopped raisins, well floured, and last of all the whites of four eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Bake at once in a loaf. Put a buttered paper in the bottom of the cake pan. Poisoned Cheese Cleans out all rats, mice, raiches, water-bugs, bed bugs, ants and every species of vermin that infest buildings. 15c. Druggists. WALTER, P. DAVIS & CO., COMMISSION 14 W.
