The nock market today was very active, feverish and irregalar; but most of the time llrm to strong. Tfce 'bears" expected to have things all their own way, but good buying early appeared in the market. Readine became especially tirm stock and was very hard to borrow, whicn bad a stimulating effect upon the general list. The "bears" resisted the Improvement with vigor, the result being a feverish and irregular market, with an upward tendency. The efforts to depress prices were concentrated, especially upon the grangers, and St. Paul in particular, which was forced down' two points. Stories of a reduction in the Chicago, Burlington & Qumey dividend and bin cuts in freight ratfs, supplemented by free selling of those stocks, were made the utmost use of. The strength in foreign exchange was also a factor on the "bear" side, indicating a fr-e selling of stock in this toarket by the foreigners. There was undoubtedly snm coverins during the day. which anied materially in bringing about the ireQuent rallies, and towards delivery hour the purchasing of Heading assumed large proportions, and the upward movement became still more decided. The clique's support was very apparent, and the feeling of depression entirely disappeared, though the temper of the room was not specially bullish. The opening was active and penerally weak, hut Union Pacific was up 1 per cent. The list was quite weak in the earlr dealings, after a few small advances, with Union Pacific and Louisville &. Nashville tpHcially weak. An improvement was noticeable towards 11 o'clock, but the grangers then became the leaders in weakness. A stronger tone was developed after noon, while the amount of business done showed a marked decrease. In the last hour, however, a more decidedly strong tone was shown, and everything advanced to the best prices reached. The close was strong at or near the highest figures of the day. Almost everything is higher to-night, though San Francisco preferred lost 2), Norfolk & Western preferred 1J, and Consolidated Gas 1 per cnt Colorado Coal is up 2; Heading. 1J: Northern Pacific preferred. 1J; Union Pacific, 1: Jersey Central.

Wheat trading to-day was light In fact the market was quite dull most of the session, but at the same time tbo feeling was steady, Liverpool was quoted quiet and prices a shade lower all around, and this caused an easy feeiing early here, and a slight decline in prices oniyJic Later the market became stronger under further buying, influenced by a rumor that freight engagements bad been made at Dulutb to move out a large quantity of wheat, reported at 1.000.000 ba. The receipts, too, in tee Northwest, were smaller, while the exporta from three sea-board ports were larger, aggregating 167,000 bu. These features, together with the freight engagements for 270.000 bushels here yesterday attracted some attention. The quality of the wheat arriying shows no improvement; out of 56 cars inspected in store, only seven cars grading No. 2, and of these fie were old wheat. The closing was about the same as yesterday; December sola at 72$a72ic. and closed at 72Jc: opened at72ie, sold at 72ic rallied to 72Jc, receded to 72Jc. sold at 723c and closed at 721c; May scld at 7Z4e77e. and closed at 77!c In corn a duh'.

steady feeling prevailed, with trading limited and confined to local operators. No new outside features were brought to bear on the market, which was governed entirely by local influences. The market opened at about yesterday's closing prices, fluctuated within range, and closed a shade firmer than yesterday. Receipts were somewhat larger. It was reported that one of the Western roads bad reduced freights 5c per 100 on corn from Iowa. The demand for the better grades was fair, while the lower grades were in good demand and prices without special chance; 373,500 bu were inspected out cf store yesterday, and lake engagements made to-day for 50.000 bu. November sold at 41Jc and at 41S41Jo together, and closed at 41 c: opened at 414e. sold at 41s to 41 to4141f-o together, to 41c, and closed at 412c bid. Oats were in good shipping demand. The arrivals were not large, and the sample market exhibited a good deal of strength. On the regular market trade, which is speculative, mainly, was quite small. Prices, notwithstanding this fact, ruled without material change from yesterday's quotations. Provisions were slow and prices without cnange of importance. Receipts of bogs were larger and prices lower. This had a weakening effect on holders of produce and induced them to sell more freely, and slight declines were recorded on lard and short-ribs. Mess port received more attention and advanced a shade, selling at $12. 1712 25, January closing at $12 25 bid. Lard for October sold at 6.27i 3 6 321c, and closed at 6 30c . January sold at 6.30 6 32Jc. Light sales of October short ribs were at 7.00 2 7.05c, and January at 6.1536.22c. Late in the day October ribs went to 7.10c, which was tfce closing price.

Fine Weather and a Confident Feeling as to Future Business Makes Trade Active. Indianapolis, Oct 13. Said one cf the oldest merchants on Meridian street yesterday: Aside from the tame tone to the grain markets he bad never seen a better prospect for a good fall trade than that of this year; and with the fine weather merchants were now doing a big business, and it was improving daily. The lull of the early part of the month had passed off. There was a confident feeling among business men, which be thought argued well for the future of trade. In dry goods there was the largest trade onr merchants had ever experienced, and this had been the case for some months past The grocers, as well, were full of business, handling more goods than ever before at the corresponding period. And, in fact, in all departments of trade there was an activity seldom excelled, and with this prices in the main were strong and steady. Especially was this true of dry goods and staple groceries. Coffees have again become firm, and hieher pnees are predicted, which means that mixed grades will. come into more general nse, as at the high prices prevailing the consumption of pure stock will become less. Sugars are steady, and tend higher rather than lower. Canned goods are in brisk request, prices steady and firm. The produce markets continue active, with a tendency to lower prices. Even eggs are weak at quotations; but there is ample room for a reduction in value?, $1 per bushel for Irish potatoes, and $2 per barrel for cabbage, were exorbitant figures, and that shipments to tnis market became large, was not a surprise. Apples are still coming in in largo quantities, and unless really choice fruit sell low. some very fair apples selling from car at 50 cents per bushel. GRAIN. The local market was in much the same position as on Wednesday. Wheat is in good request for milling purposes, but large receipts would doubtless weaken prices. Corn is dull, offerings free, but buvers cautious Oats Spot delivery in good demand.

An Apology for Loyalty. Bespectfully Addressed to Maurice Thompson. " I was a soldier, if you please, A loyal man unto the last; But must, sha ne now upon me seize. Hush all reference to the past. A Yankee! I a Yankee! Yes, That name in stigma given we bear: Because we love our section less Than common country and her care You scowl at me, and say 'tis wrong The blue to honor more than gray; Those colors stand for causes long Divided as the night from day. My father gave me to a State Whose altar was her country's too. My brother sought no home till late. That, dying, mine no wane should know. Thus given to my native land The Providence which rules the earth. Which led our armies by His hand Protect ;d me. mv home and hearth. Undaunted by the rebel yell, 1 chaiged into the jaws of death, I was so near wheu heroes fell. My cheeks have felt their latest breath. My skirts bespattered with their blood. Their dead forms lying 'cross my path; Without a comrade have I stood And calmly faced expected death. A scar upon my forehead borne. Attests the perils of that war. The bullet-holes in garments worn Axe pledges of an honor far More true and glorious than a life Of mute, ignoble selfish ease: When duty calls and dangers rife Stalk o'er the land and kill our peace. 'Tvvas not in vain. With grateful heart I saw the triumph of the right. The flag that would asunder part Was torn to shreds by Northern might. It was a victory of God, In this our Israel 'gainst His foes. The slave could nevermore be trod Beneath the feet of countless woes. Against no foreman did he fight: Nor do we bate the men who fought So bravely, whether wrong or right; But God has judged the work they wrought. It did not stand the fires of war; It never could the light of truth. 'Twas cursed and for evtrmore Too aged to renew its youth. Nor were the victor's sacrifices small. The losses wholly on one side; We did not leave our homes and all We counted dear for pomp or pride. My father with his weight of years Too old to muster in the fray. Bade me go forth and thro' his tears Saw duty only, clear as day. My mother full as generous born Gave not so well the only son Who dwelt at home. And thus forlorn She lingered till my task was done. My wife so worn and wan with cares Too heavy for her slender breath. An auxious burden ever bears. Suspense and sickness worse than death. My children, grown to years since then, I left at that sweet solemn time. When gentle ministries could benfl Them to a stalwart manhood's prime. My home was like a broken nest To Southern skies the blue-birds fly. On careless wing, and find theic rest In leaving home; but not could L My home I loved, my country more; 'Twas this that move 1 my arm to fight I bad a country when the war was o'er; 'Twas none without great freedom's light. The day has come and come to stay; Yet will the victory not be won, ' Till all men everywhere can say Their thought with ballot as with tongue. Old Dixon's line must be wiped ont. The "Solid South" made ail anew, Till modern rebels face about, And march with loyal hearts and true. I do despise the copperhead Who barked at loyal soldier's heels Who never patriot impulse led Who blocked the Nation's chariot wheels; Who stayed at home and watched afar To hear the last confederate news; Who cheered the Southron's rising star: t O'er Union victories had "the blues." - I honor tbose whom destiny Drove to suppott a failing cause; More honored yet in harmony. Who work with all who love oar laws. To say our side alonewas right. Is but to take a manly stand. Twere manlier to confess outright Your past sins; then extend your hand. Wheu years ago I left the field Where many a brother fell in gore, I made a vow that I would shield A rebel from his sins no more. Before my lips should cloe in death, -Those lips should freely speak ' The truth of freedom. Whoso hath That truth is stroug, all others weak.

Farm Notes. The Guernsey Breeder urges keeping soft-wood charcoal in the cow stable as an excellent -regulator of the stomach aud bowels, to feed once a week or so. An excellent mixture of hay for all classes of stock is one-third clover-hay with timothy and red top, which is much better than either one alone, as the mixtnre is more complete in food elements. It should be fed with an allowance of ground grain also. To protect trees from the girdling of mice, clear away the earth at the base, wrap a piece of two-ply tarred paper around the tree and replace the earth. For peach trees ordinary thick pasteboard is better, as coal tar or any of the products of petroleum is sometimes injurious. The proper way to give salt is to season the food. When thrown In the trough and licked up by the animals salt sometime canses them to drink frequently, which is not beneficial in very cold weather unless the water be somewhat warm. Salt is necessary for all classes of stock, but it is more beneficial when given in the food. Raw meat chopped fine and fed once a day will produce more eggs than any other food that can be given the hen. One pound of rough meat to fifteen hens is sufficient The meat should be lean, and, if preferred, mar be cooked, but it gives better results when given raw. It is not expensive when the increased number of eggs is considered. In storing away garden seeds, place them in woolen bags, with a piece of gum-camphor in each bag, and also dust the seeds with insect powder. These methods will protect the seeds against insects, which destroy many kinds, such as peas, beans, etc. All seeds should be kept in a dry piace, and an examination of them should be made several times during the winter. A correspondent of an exchange urges planting nut trees along the highways instead of the other kinds which yield nothing of value and do not afford any better shade than trees bearing delicious fruits and nuts. In cultivating nut trees we are not neglecting the aesthetics of our surroundings or that of the highways, for the hickories, walnuts and chestnuts are as coble and beautiful trees as the maples, lindens and other common and familiar roadside trees. The Homestead: A good many farmers have the idea that milk is not just right for pigs until it is soured. This is a very serious mistake. No possible good can come from souring it, but very serious harm. After you takeout the cream and the water the most that remains is caseine and sugar of milk. Both are valuable. Bat when you sour it you change the sugar of milk into lactic acid, and lose nearly half the entire value of your milk. Feed milk sweet to calves and pigs and colts. Never let it sour if you can help it Why will you throw away half its valuel Home and Farm: There are some peculiar things about the measurements of a good dairy cow. The lengtn of the cow from the top of the head to the rump bone, when the top of the bead is in line with the spine, should be equal to four times the length of the bead. The cir cumference of the cow in the center of the trun k. and when in full milk and not affected by the calf, should uever be less than four times the length of the head. The length of the udder, measuring between the quar ters, should be equal to the lengtn and width of the head combined. Ths head of a 1,250-pound cow should not be less than twenty-one inches in length. Fattening; Qogs. American A gricut turist. There are advantages and disadvantages in beginning the fattening of swine or other ani mals early in the fall. If the process is not Degun until" late, it must be carried into the ex treme cold weather, when a considerable percentage of tbe food required for bodily heat is reduced. During severe weather the appetite of an animal is lees vigorous, and its digestion lees nearly complete, due to the effect of the rigor of the weather upon the oody in general. As the profit is increased by rapid fattening and good digestion. we increase tbe , profit by fattening while the weather is mild. Also, the work of attending to the, animals can be more economically done in mild than in severe weather. But on tbe other band, we incur greater risk of disease, especially among swine, by fattening in warm weather. This, however, is not great when the animals are given a variety uf wholesome food, pure drink;

and clean quarters, and these produce the cheapest flesh as welL In the early part of the season tbe animals will get some food from the pastures; but as this food is dry and often scant, the animals will frequently expend as much energy 1a roaming a bo at the pastures as could be produced from tbe good they get, making the only advantage the greater variety in their food. Nevertheless, there is a net gain in fattening early; and animals put upon the market earlier than is the bulk of the product, usually command a better price than those prevailing later, wben tbe market is well-nigh glutted.

Tomato figs, tbose old-fashioned sweets so pleasantly associated with grandma's preserva closet, can be made after tbe following recipe: Take tbe small, yellow pear-shaped tomatoes and pour boiling water over them to remove the skins. Weigh and place in a stone jar with as much sugar as there are tomatoes. Lettheut stand two days; then pour off the syrup and boil until perfectly dear. Pour over the tomatoes and let them stand two days, when tha boiling and skimming of the syruo is repeated. After doing this three times spread them on large earthern plates or platters in the sun to dry. Pack in small wooden boxes with powdered sugar between each layer and they will keep for years. The regularly rural three-legged milking stool, hand painted, is a favorite support forj brass or porcelain jars holding growing greenery. Tbe jars hide most of the painting, which, as a rule, is rather an advantage. Cashmere Bouquet Perfume -Is unexcelled in exquisite combination of deli j cate odors.
