Government and State bonds were dull and 3teady. The stock market was moderately active only, most of the business being done in spots. There w?s little or no foreign trading, the closeness of the two markets leaving no margin for Arbitrage business. The coal stocks and the Southern stocks monopolized most of the interest, and many rumors in regard to the latter were circulated, although tho statement that General Alexander was practically sure of an election to the 3 c a., n i si .1 i - prciuguci ui iuo vjruiia vouinii mu rutin was the most important item of news, the sentiment being that closer relations with Richmond & West Point would, follow, and the latter, which had been noticeably weak, became the strongest stock in the list. There was very little doing in he grangers and Vanderbilts, although av inner wvro uuu'u tuiuowutm vy the Nirkel-piate decision. Late in the day Western Unioii was a feature, being active and strong throughout, the improvement being accompanied by the renewal of rumors of developments favorable to the company. The opening was centrally strong, firt prices showing advances of to over Friday's closing figures. There wus active trading duriug tho first hour, aud the dealings were accompanied by considerable feverishness and irregularity. The entire market finally yielded. Richmond & West Point brine especially noticeable for the decline established. Tho same state of affairs continued, with several short reactions, until after 1 P. M. , when a general upward movement took place, which gathered force toward the close, and the market closed moderately active and strong, close to the best prices reached.

The temper of the wheat market was quite strong to day. May wheat opened at 87c, or an advance of gc over the closing figures of last Friday, advanced to 871c, then fell back under rather free offerings to87fcc, and held at about that figure for an hour, then began to advance on reports of free buying for export at tne seaboard, and closed at nearly the best figures of the day. The visible supply report disclosed an increase of 468,000 bushels, which was slightly under the estimate. The receipts at the Northwest show a slight falling off. Corn opened firm and higher, with May at 43Jc, but became weak and declined 43ic, rallied a trifle and closed a shade under Friday. Oats ruled steady, with prices showing very little change. Trading in provisions was moderately active. Mess pork opened 1012ic per barrel higher, receded 1520c, and closed tame. Lard advanced 57$e per 100 pounds, and held steadily to outside figures. Short ribs opened a trifle higher, but receded and closed a shade easier. The leading futures ranged as follows: Opening.

The wheels of trade moved rather sluggishly to-day, and in all departments quietude was the chief characteristic, the effects of the holidays cot having fairly passed off. The most conspicuous feature of the present aspect of trade, and one that is likely to prove of peculiar significance with respect to the future coarse of events, is the small limits to which stocks have been re duced throughout the country and in every department of business activity. From manu facturers down to small traders and from importers down to retail distributers, supplies have been so closely used up that early replenishing will become a matter of necessity. This condition of affairs has resulted in the first place, from the conservatism with which all business operations have been carried forward during the past year, and secondly because of the steady increase m consumption. In prices, to-day, there were no changes of importance. Produce is firm at quotations. Especially is this true of eggs, so few are arriving that snippers are doing nothing, and they are selling from store at 25c per dozen. The provision market maintains it3 strong tone of some days past, and handlers of hog products talk bullish of the future of the market In groceries little was doing; sugars and coffees firm at the prices of last week. GRAIN. A strong, active market covers the local sit uation. The Board of Trade Price Current sajs: "Wheat All grades in loeal circles are higher and in active demand. Receipts fair.

Dairying as a Science. Philadelphia Record. There are two classes of dairymen tbo6e who make a specialty of selling milk, and those who set the milk, take away the cream, and send the butter to market Though the majority of dairymen endeavor to combine both branches, yet but few of them can be successful in selling both milk and butter. The profit from the milk sold depends upon the quality yielded by the herd in proportion to the amount of feed allowed and the capital invested in the shape of labor and buildings. But the larger the yield of each cow the greater the investment, for the reason that the productive animal requires no more room, shelter and care than does one yielding a smaller quantity. In the production of butter the cows will afford a profit in proportion not to the quantity of milk given, but to the amount of cream contained in the milk. Before the dairyman can be successful in either branch he must draw the line betweeu the breeds that excel in yield of milk and those that give milk rich in cream. The fir6t thing the scientific dairyman will do is to select the breed for-the purposes he may have in view. The next will be to feed in such a manner as to secure the largest yield of either milk or butter in pro portion to the cost of food, and the cost of the food depends upon its adaptability for conver sion into the ingredients entering into the composition of milk. m Science in dairying does not stop at the selec tion of the proper breeds, or the mode of feed ing, but also includes tne process ot management of the milk and the preparation of the but ter, for which the proper facilities should be proviced, while the judicious saving of the man ure, and its conversion into crops, must be taken as important factors of the enterprise. It is an old maxim that '"the dairyman gradually becomes wealthy even when his receipts and ex pauses are nearly balanced," for the reason that his farm produces larger crops each succeeding year, the manure being the profit. As long as dairymen refuse to resort to some system of breeding, and continue to purchase fresh cows to take the place of those becoming dry, they cannot estimate on any definite results, as it is almost impossible to go into the market and pur chase a dairy herd of cows that excel In both milk and butter, though, with the use of well known breeds, such as the Ilolstein, an approach to such may be made. The average dairyman should breed only to thoroughbred males, and thereby intelligently grade up his herd as near to the purposes required as may be possible. Says W. P. Brown in the Country Gentleman: When the earth was still unpeopled, or but sparsely inhabited, time was of little or no con sequence, and the processes of nature were slow, for 'tnere was not a man to till the grouud But now, with teeming millions to be fed, these slow processes are not sufficient, and man must supplement and accelerate them. I presume that when a farmer plows down a heavy crop of clover, and then during a growing season keeps the land loose and open to atmospheric influences by cultivation, he does more for its improve ment lira year than nature did iu ages, when the earth was young. A field that yields fifty or one hundred con secutive crops of grass, the last as good and as fnll as any precedine, suggests something more than fertility, and that something is very likely to be water percolating through the soil, always accessible bv the roots that go on unceasingly. converting into succulence and nutriment that which would be forever dormant but for the ready solvent that nature supplies abundantly for the uses of every farmer wise enough to gather and direct its now.
