The stock market to-day was dull and tame almost from the opening to the close. There were few or dera to bay, and the operators for a decline were not tnclvned to trade to a much greater extent. The transactions, therefore, were left to the traders almost latirely. There w some little support given in the larly dealirg. bit the interfeence of the storm with the cables, and the consequent absence of foreign nying offered an opportunity to hammer prices, and the Northern Pacifies and the Orecron stocks, being 'ound without support were forced down below the ematnder of the list. I here was no pressure from any sctoroe, however, tb.9 day s operations representing tbe work of the room-traders only, Outside of the stoeks mentioned, Reading, St. Paul and Western Union displayed ions activity. bnt their movements were levoid of interest and final chances of no significance. Die opening was heavy, at declines of from 8 to 33 per cent., though Jersey Central was down . The market was quiet to dull, and further small losses iv pre established in the first few minutes, though they were soon regained, extreme dullness then over spread the list until the last hour, when the pressure was brought upon the Northern Pacifies end the Oresons, tbe Oregon & .transcontinental being forced down 13a rer cent. There was a reac tion cf sen nil fractions from the' lowest fig. ires in tbe last few minutes, and the close was quiet and steady to firm at rear the lowest prices of me nay. c-Teryiaiinij, wuuuui exception, la juwor wliieht. and Oresron Navigation is down 2Ki, Northern Pacific preferred l7s.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22. There was little of special interest in any of the markets during tbe early part of the session on 'Change toiay. Wheat was well-sustained until the last bour of the session, when there was a decline to several points below yesterday's figures. The most active feature of the market was the sales of wbeat when the December option, about noon, toneted 73 c Two prominent "near" operators sold the market from that figure down to 73c They were followed by a good number of "tailers." and the concerted action of all together made a very heavy market, though the price was only a small fraction less than the openifiir. The receipts continue large at the principal primary points, while the shipments are only moderate. December opened at 733pe, sld up to 73S8C, off to 73c and closed at the latter figure Corn was doll and quiet most of the session, with trading only moderate. The feeling was easier, due mainly to anticipated larger receipts for Monday, and an increase In stocks here of about 1,000,000 bu-the past week. The market opened a shade under yesterday's closing prices, was steady for a time, then ruled weaker, declining Mc, changed some, and closed ie&4; lower than yesterday, with May at44c Oats opened steady, but the demand was meager. Other markets became easier and oats followed with 940 decline. The market waa quiet and dull. The provision market was slow and easier. Offerings were fair, particularly of pork. Buyers did not take hold readily and prices declined 10c, but ral'ted and closed 5 lower than yesterday. January sold at $12.0219)12.1219 and closed at $12.05. Lard remained steady, with light trading. Stocks show a reduction during the week of 9,000 tierces.

Indianapolis, Oct 22. Trade in the week, closing to-day, has been highly satisfactory, and there is a strong, steady tone to prices in most lines of goods. Dry goods men have experienced one of the largest week's trade of the year, and the volume of business with them this month promises to exceed that of September, which was the best month's trade in the history of the dry goods men doing business on South Meridian street With the active trade, prices are firm on all lines of goods sought for at this season of the year. Grocers have had a good trade; the upward tendency to prices on several of the staple articles tends to stimulate the demand. Sugars closed to-day firm in tone and tending higher rather than lower. Coffees steady and really in a stronger position than early in the week. although quotable unchanged. Canned goods meeting with good sale for this season of the year. The produce men have been busy all the week. Potatoes are weaker in price, except for choice ones, wnicn - are being shipped in here from Dakota. These bring readily 90 cents per bushel. Apples are in large supply and selling at low prices for October. Eggs and butter steady, but hardly as firm as in the early part of tbe week; receipts larger than ten days ago. The provision market is quiet and will be for some weeks to come. Old stocks are well sold out. Kingan A Co. are killing three thousand hogs per day, and on Monday Coffin, Greenftreet A Fletcher will commence killing fifteen hundred per day. In provisions nothing is doing except in a jobbing way. The leather market is active; prices firm and higher in the Eastern markets. .The hide market is fairly active, but prices continue disappointing and but small margins are realized by the dealers in handling them. The iron market is steady. Hardware meu continue to have a good trade; prioas unchanged. Lumber dealers are busv. Uesides a good local business they are receiv ing numerous orders from cities and towns over the State. GRAIN. With the close of the week the local market for all cereals has taken on a better tone, but prices range about as for some days past Receipts of wheat, corn and oats, comparatively speaking, are light, and, if the present state of affairs long, continues, the ques tion will be, is Indianapolis a grain market? For some days past aside from the millers, nobody" has shown a disposition to make this - point a market for either cereal. Yesterday was an improvement, however, over any preceding day of the present month, and better things are now looked for.

A correspondent of tbe American Cultivator in writing of the care of colta in the winter time makes some excellent points as to the management of feet He says: "Tbe breeder should not forget tbe feet of young stock require attention now as much as at anv time of their lives, and mora than in summer. The reason is that young stock is generally confined at this time of the year to yards that are covered with. straw, and there is little or no wear on tbe rim of the feet. The feet go on growing larger, whilst the lower foot binds it and pinches the internal machinery of the foot Moreover, colts that are not given plenty of room for exercise are likely to kick in their stalls, and thus receive injuries that will terminate in permanent injury. Tbe toes, too, will grow to excessive lengtb, throw tag tbe strain unduly on the dscic tendons, and unduly pinching the anterior joints of the foot I speak from what I have seen when I say that neglect of the feet in colts is a fruitful source of rinebone and other kindred diseased conditions of the foot. The colt should be taken into a barn with a plank floor, held by one man whilst another takes a sharp two-inch chisel and a mallet If tbe colt is not. as be should be, broken to have bis feet bandied, the surplus boof can be easily, quickly and safely removed, the heels will have a cbance to spread and tbe feet will approach at least their natural bearing. A better way would be to have the feet pared all around the foot from below, as the angles of the bars can not be got at under the former method, but if the colt is not broiten to handling, it will be best to try tbe former metbou." , . ..

The Official Press, in re peating its denial of tha report that the Czar waa to have a meeting with Emperor Wihiam, uses language of plain and ostentatious enmity toward Russia. The interview is declared to be not a mere matter of indifference, but as ob jected to by high personages in Germany. The persocal relations between the Czar and Emperor William, once so important a factor in Luropean politics, can no longer continue on their old footing of intimacy, as the position of trermany toward her allies. Austria and Italy, forbids it The anti-German proclivities of the present Czar are contrasted with the lifelong friendship of bis father for Emperor William and 'bis people, and the conclusion is drawn that thn interview would be unpleasant to both si :e. Besides these strongly suggestive comments, there is increasing evi dence of tbe 6trained relations between Berlin and St Petersburg. The Russian press censor permitted yesterday's Novoe remya to predict such early action by Kussia in Bulgaria a would defeat tbe objects of the triple alliance, and show that Russia is neither isolated nor incapa ble of carrying out her victorious policy. The Pau-blavist papers are bavins free play in de nouncing Germany. The Czar's route forroturning to Russia is subject daily to surmise, as it is considered unadvisable that be touch German soil, and the frozen Baltic may make his way homewards a matter of limited choice. Yesterday the route fixed was Riga, or Libaa, if the ice blocked Cronstadt Anyway, it is declared, the Czar must not pass tbrongh Germany. The economic war between Russia and Ger many bas had a fresh development in the Czar's ukase giving English and French imports pref erential rates, English goods obtaining a remission of 20 per cent because England levies no duty on Russian corn, and French goods 10 per cent, rebate, because of the limited duty levied bv France on Russian corn. The obvious aim of tbe edict is to strike a blow at German trade. To these evidences of hostility are now added increased military preparations on the frontier. A notable cessation occurred in this work during the progress of negotiations between Prince Bismarck and M. De Giers for an entente on the Eastern question, but since the triplrf alliance became known there has been a feverish acceleration of the work on the fortifications at Warsaw, Ivangorod and Brest-Li to vsk. General Gourko is to organize an immense camp near Warsaw. New fortifications are also being constructed around Kovno, Grodno and Uielostock. The same activity is noticeable along the Austrian frontier. The German War-Office responds by enlarging the camp at Graudenz, constructing six new forts around Thorn and strengthening the works at Posen, Glogau. Pillau and Konigsberg. The, energies of the V ar Office are at presentconcentrated on tne Eastern frontier. - Regardine Prince Bismarck's reply to the new prohibition of Germam trade, it will be seen, immediately upon the meeting of the Reichstag J that, in the bill raising the duties on corn tbe attack is to be resumed. Russian securities have again been offered indiscriminately for sale. The present result of this tension of relations is an increased bitterness and enmitv between tbe two peoples. The Russian press prophesies that important diplomatic action will be taken by the Czar's government soon after his return to Moscow. These menaces, however, do not alarm Germany, which is confident of ner own strength and the security of the triple alliance. An ambiguous official communique coming from Moscow, to-uight, is giving rise to various surmises as to tne Czars designs. Count Lamsdorff. the director of the Czar's diplomatic. bureau, who bas just returned from Copenhagen, omueht an utterance from the Czar which, as given to the press, is that "an immediate solution of the Bulgarian crisis should be round." Not a word more is commu nicated to explain the oracle. Well-informed officials regard the utterance as a pacific one. and it is supposed to point to some new diplo matic scheme for a settlement of the Bulgarian question. ' .. . . -.-. Mgr. Perslco's Visit to Ireland. Rome. Oct. 22. The Osservatore Romana publishes a report of an interview with Mgr. Gualdi, who accompanied Mgr. Persico, the Pope's special commissioner to Ireland, in which he says that ail of the addresses that were pre sented to Mgr. Persico m Ireland express tbe utmost fidelity to tbe church and boundless confidence in the Holy See. There exists, he says, agitation based not only upon the memory of ancient wrongs which England has inflicted. but also upon the serious necessities of tbe pres ent, which demand immediate attention. Mgr. Persico's presence in Ireland has contributed largely toward keeping the country tranquil, and there is every ground for hope that means will be found to settle the differences between the landlords and the tenants, especially as the Irish are very far from desiring separation. In England, Mgr. Gualdi says, Catholics and Protestants alike have full confidence in the Pope. The Efforts to Reconile Italy and the Pope. Copyright, 1S87. by the New York Associated Press. Berlin, Oct. 22. The Bismarck-Crispi arrange ment to establish a modus Vivendi between the lloly See and Italy has not prospered. Advices from Rome to theGermania state that Prince Bismarck intimated to the Vatican that he was authorized to inform the Holy See what concessions the Italian government was disposed to offer. At the same time Prince Bis marck declined to be responsible for the conduct, officially, of the negotiations, and merely offered to be a friendly medium. The Vatican's reply was a query whether Italy would acknowledge the absolute independence of the Holy See, with the restitution of a part of Rome as the Pope's sine qua non. Signor Crispi did not entertain these terms, and Prince Bismarck's action, iu the meantime, has ceased. VTlndthorst as m Disturber. Copyright 1887, by the New York Associated Press. 1 Berlin, Oct 22. The occasion of Bishop Kopp taking the oath cf allegiance to the Emperor of Germany upon his induction into office as the Princebishop of Breslau, has been made a basis of fresh congratulations on the end of the Kulturkampf. The Prinee-bishop, in bis discourse, declared that it was his aim to administer the affairs of the diocese in the mutual interests of church and state. He protested his fidelity to the Emperor, and invited the faithful to remain devoted to the Emperor and the Pope. The Kulturkampf, however, threatens actively to reappear. Dr. Windthorst proposes to demand the full restoration cf Catholic riirhts. and has prepared a bill looking to that end for presentation to the Reichstag. Spnrgenn and the Non-Conformists.
