Less Activity in Wheat, the Only Feature Being a Spart by the Scalpers. Corn Exhibits the Same Characteristics as Wheat.and the Trading in Provisions Is Terj Dull and Without Sew Features. MONEY, BONDS AND STOCKS. "A. Dull end Heavy Opening In w York -With, an Active and Strong Closing. NEW YORK, Nov. 23? Money on call was asy at 3 to 5 per cent, closing offered at 3 per sent. Prime mercantile paper, 6 8 per cent. Sterling exchange was dull but steady and inekaoged. The total sale of stocks to-day were 311,017 bares, including the following: Canada SouthBra, 3,800; Delaware, Lackawanna &s Western, 7,800; Erie, 9.710; Lake Shore, 16.740; Louisville & Nashville. 7.850; Missouri Pacific. 5.703; Northwestern, 8.370; Northern Pacific preferred, 8,495; Oregon Transcontinental, 9.865: Pacific Mail, 6.030: Readme. 45.200; Sl Paul, 25.100; Texaa Pacific. aC00; Union Pacific, 58.237; Western Union, 20,315: Wceeling & Lake Erie. 3,000. The stock market was dull and heavy to-day until the afternoon, when it became active and strong. There was little of interest in the market during the forenoon. Though Richmond. & "West Point remained a feature, it was heavy with the remainder of the list. However, the coming holiday created an indisoosition to trade, which was taken advantage of by the "bears" and traders to help the market down, in which they had the aid of some realizing by smaller "ball."' In the afternoon a story was circulated to the effect that the report of the investigating committee would be very favorable to the Union Paeific, and that stock immediately became the leader.-of the market, and before the close had advanced 3 per cent. Central Paeific and Northern Pacific also felt the stimulus, though the latter was advanced also on negotiations with European parties for $3,000,000 of the new third mortgage loan. Other itfluenees. amomr which were the order of court restoring the Reading and Jersey Central to their stockholders on Jan. 1, and a report that the earnings of St Paul would show a large increase for the tbird week in November, brought in more buying in the general list, and everything shared in the improvement. Among tho low-priced shares, Alton & Terre Haute was conspicuous for its sharp advance. The opening was firm to strong, at an advance extending to per cent, but the advantage was not maintained, and New England and Kansas & Texas were specially weak, while the entire list was depressed below first figure. . The activity was small, and the market remained in the- neighborhood of the lowest prices until the afternoon, when Union Pacifie suddenly became active and strong, and in the r.ext two honrs the entire list moved unsteadily, and thongh there was a slight reaction in the last hour, the rise was again returned, and the close was quiet though strong at the best prices of the day. The net result of the day's business is that most of the active list is higher tonight, though the advances are in fw cases for mors than fractional amounts, butLnion Pacifle rose 33e. Central Pacific 2, Northern Pacific, preferred, 1, and Oregon & 1 I . ' Trau scontinentRailroad bonds were a little more active and were generally firm; closing prices are generally higher.

Rain in the sou tn west, and very light receipts, caused the price of whest to open e lower than the closing figures of yesterday. The January option started in at 76so, sold up to 77c. and dropped off Je at the close of the day's tradine. At one time the May option sold as high as 83c, but it was only on a spurt made by some of the bie scalpers, and the scalping was the oulr feature of the day. for outside orders were cot of a heavy nature. Corn followed in the wake of wheat, and the trade in provisions was without interest. The leading futures ranged as follows: Opening. Higheit. LoutesC &otng. Wheat Nov...

Green & Co. say: In cotton certificates there was fair animation and a general firm tone with still another addition made to values. The inspiring feature appeared to be found in the cable advices. The absence of anything to fully contradict the government estimates and comparatively light receipts, with strong touthern markets al so helped the situation. ice advance was luaiv. points from which a small set-back took place, but the close remained pretty steady all around.

The merchants and manufacturers of this city, and in fact all over the State, have abundant reason for being in a thankful mood this morning. General prosperity abounds, and in most ot tne principal lines or ousiness there is more activity and the operations moie profitable than one year ago, in fact, than in any .year of the last ten years. Dry. goods merchants have been very busy for months past, and there has been a strong tone to prices, while margins have been close. Sales have been large, and bad aeots lew. urocers, as wen. nave nad an ex cellent trade, and the manner tbey have been enlarging their stores and extending their trade indicate a most healthy prosperity. In all lines of trade there has been a tendency to extend the field of operations, which speaks well for the enterprise and drive-aheaditireness of the mer chants and manufacturers of this State. The provision men have had a good year. Sales have been large and profits satisfactory, and there is now a strong, excited tone to the market. The grain market is taking better shape; whether it is due to speculation or a healthy improvement, a few days will solve. The Toledo Market Reporter takes a cheerful view of the erain market, especially on wheat. So far as corn is concerned, we want that at home. The Reporter says: "The outward movement is light. England don't seem to be taking much from us. What if she doesn't? She has in store and afloat about 30.000,000 bushels in wheat and flour. Without importations or home deliveries three weeks would strip her, even if she could get in all the oceau stock, but some of it is not due until March. India is not cow shipping much. The aggregate is less than 4,000.000 bcshe!s for four weeks. Russia, with a natural winter, will soon close exportation, and where, oh where, will England get her supplies if not from usr If she can find large blocks of casa wheal over here that are not tied up for May, she can beat American dealers. We repeat, that America has and does control the situation, but lacks the sand to assert it" Produce men had a big trade to-day. Poultry, of course, received the most attention, and fruits met with a good call. Offerings ample and prices unchanged. GRAIN. The local market, to-day, rallied from the weakness of Tuesday, and prices were decidedly stronger. Bidding on 'Change was spirited. Track bids ruled as follows: Wheat No. 2 Mediterranean.

"Laura." exclaimed the enamored youth, hastily bringing the corner of bis frescoed silK hankerchief to view above the edge of his breastpocket and speakinc in the low, impassioned accents of a teu-dollar-a-week tragedian out of a job pleading with a stony-hearted conductor for a lift of a lew miles on his weary way across the country. "Laura, the time has at length come when 1 may freely tell yon of the deathless devotion with which you have inspired me, and can feel free to ask you to hed the voice of your own heart if it bids you to listen kindly to my plea. For three long years and some odd months, Laura, I have carried this burden in my heart without daring to hint to you in words of the passion which you must have seen by my actions was consuming me. Not until my prospects iu life were sufficiently flattering to warrant me in presuming upou the kindness with which you have ever treated me eo far as to ask a hieher and more sacred place in your esteem than that of a mere friend could I honorably disclose my sentiments. I have now concluded business arrangements, Laura, by which my future is so far assured toat the grim shadow of want shall never fall athwart the threshold of the home which I now implore you to share with me. While I shall not possess wealth, I shall have a sufficiency for the wants of a modest household. While it may not be in my power to array you in diamonds and sealskin sacks " "George," said tne fair girl, as a shadow of anxious hesitancy flitted across her eloquent face, and a look of deep and searching inquiry glowed iu the eyes which she bent uoou the agitated young man, "what is your salary?" "Fifteen dollars a week, Laura, for the next six months, with the certain prospect ot an increase at the end of" "George," and the voice of the brave, noble girl, as it vibrated through the sensitive fibres of ttie young man's whole being, seemed to come from the inmost recesses of a far-reaching, echoless cavern, "George, you make me very tired." American Pickles and Sauces. New York Mail and Express. "ThQ.use of foreign pickle3 and sauces in this country is very small now. American products have taken their place." This was the reply of a whobale grocer to a question from a reporter. The reporter then asked: "Hrs the fame of the foreign goods died out?'' "Not exactly; but the American picklos are fully equal to them, and, what is of more importance to consumers, they are much cheaper. You will remember that at one time no pickl e was thought worth eating unless it bore the stamp of a certain . . firm in London. Tho same may bo said of sauces. But this is all changed. No one thinks of asking for the London concern's pickles now in any ordinary grocery store, and if any one should it would be almost impossible to get them. The American bottled pickles are from 33 to 50 per cent, cheaper to the jobbing trade, and therefore can be sold at a lower price to the consumer." "What about tho sauces?-' 'Tho old English sauces are no longer on the price lists of large grocery stores, as a better kind can be supplied at from 40 to 50 per cent, cheaper. That the latter gives satisfaction is shown by the fact that it has . superseded the foreign among the wholesale trade and jobbers, besides which the old prejudice against anything American has died out If the article be equally good and can be had cheaper it will command the trade."
