The stock market was ranch more active today than for many weeks, but, while feverish most of the time, beeame decidedly strong, and a portion of yesterday's loss was recovered. There was a flurry in the market during: the early dealings, the main cause of which was the uncertainty in regard to the dividend on Missouri Pacific. It is now supposed to be a question of whether it shall be H per cent or nothing. Western Union to-day was one of the strongest stocks on the list, especially late in the day. . The usual drive was made at the list t the opening, but it met with excellent support, and outside of Missouri Pacific, Western -Union and New England, very little impression "was made on the list. When the recovery be- , pan there was a marked demand for covering by 1 "shorts." which helped the advance materially, tund later the favorable news was received from 'Chicago that the Northwestern difficulties were ;in a fair way to be settled and more confident straying for the "long" account was noticed. The market remained feverish for moat of the day, and frequent and sudden changes from strength to weakness and back again were made, but the improvemen t met with no important set-back '. until the clone of business. Missouri Pacifia opened at an advance of 2 per cent, over last 'evening's closing price, but was driven down quickly 3J per cent, after which it recovered a hportion of the loss, bat remained feverish and I tin sett led for the remainder of the day, finally .'closing with a net gain of $ per cent. There ere no special movements, in the rest of the i2iat The first sales were made at irregular changes from yesterday's final prices, but declines were in a majority, and. the market was Nlecidedly weak in the early trading. The decline was soon checked, however, and although the extreme activity lasted for over half an hour, prices quickly recovered, and while the market remained feverish for most of the day, a teady improvement took place, which ceased only with the close of business. The advance was specially marked in the last hour, and the close was comparatively quiet but firm to strong at the best prices of the day for most of the list. The are a few marked declines, and Colorado Coal lost 1L and Lake Erie & Western preferred 1 per cent.; bnt Lackawanna gained 13; Norfolk & Western preferred, 1J; Tennessee Coal. H; Burlington & Qulncy, Delaware & Hudson, and Western Union, 1 per cent. each. Railroad bonds were quiet; sales, $947,000. The market was generally heavy through the forenoon, but stronger later in the day. Most bonds, however, are lower this evening. Government bonds were ouiet and steady. State bonds were very dull and without feature. Closing quotations were: Four yer cent, bonda.1 24 Kansas & Texas.". ...

The big 'ehort" sellers of grain : wore in the pita on 'Change this morning, eitner in person or by their agents, but it was simply to prevent a rally, and not to raid the markets, as on yesterday. The most interest centered in wheat, whera the cold wave had made the general crowd bullish, and caused some shorts" to feel nerve us, When there was a flurry of buying, the raiders filled the crowd up quickly, and the pit was dull. The market opened strong, and a fair reaction would have taken place, but the raiders stood in the way, and filled up the crowds, and kept prices from getting much above the closing points last night. May opened at . 77ie, sold at 77Je, declined to 77c, and became steady at 77 J c, closing at 77 J c Corn did not show as much strength as wheat.

because of large receipts and an increase in the amount of contract stuff coming in. May corn opened la over the close last night. During the morning it looked as if the opening were to De the best prices of the cay, as there was an early decline, which toole zatures to points shade lower than last night's closing. There was a little surprise in store, however, and before the close, when the "shorts" tried to get the corn back, therd was little for sale. This caused a scramble, and an advanee of ic during the closing hear, and made the closing prices from iUlo better than those of last night. May opened at 49c, sold don n to 49c, gradually reacted to 493a, and then bulged to 50 r, at which figure it closed. Uata were steadier to day and there was moderate trading in May and June, which improved about ic, closing at 301. xor tne former and 30i30So for the latter. Pro visions were moderately active and unsettled. The "bears" raided pork and sold it off 20c in short order. Buying by one or two houses caused an irregular rally of 15c. The feeling was nervous, and operators were disposed to call margins freely for protection. "Bears'' take advantage of any drop ii valaesto cover, and as The nnlk nf f ha aolliTiT ) hn hw hna " they keep the market fluctuating rapidly. May poric opened at fl&92j, sold at $13.95, down to (13.75, rallied and closed the same as vesterdav. at $13.87. Lard was stronger; May selling at .Oi .B3C closing at . ozje.

Thursday, March 22, ean be set down as being a dull day in trade circles. Snow on the ground and the thermometer hanging about zero Is not just the wf-ather needed to encourage merchants in laying in stocks of spring goods. In fact, at the wholesale houses the appearance of business was that of one of the bitterest winter days. In all branches trade was down to a minimum vol ume, and there were but few fluctuations in values. Eggs advanced 2 esnis ner dozen. Butter, as well assumed a firmer tone, and a really choice article is scarce. A good deal of oleomargarine is now sold on this market One retail house is selling a ton a week. Husbands take it home and say nothing to their wives, and they are so well pleased with it that they tell him to get more of such butter if he can get hold of it Poultrv in eood de mand and firm. Apples too high to sell well and becoming scarce. Potatoes in good request prices begin to advance, selling from cars at $1.05 to $1.10 a bushel. Cabbage in light supply, and selling readily at 5 cents per pound. The provision market was stronger in tone, and trade in a jobbing way quite brisk. The tame tone to tne mae market continues; the leather market is fairlv active at unchanged rncea. Grocers report sugars meeting with fair sale and very nrm in price, while airectlv the r overso in the case with coffees. The flour market has taken on much better shape of late, and miilers are feeling good over the outlook. They find it quite difficult to obtain wheat enough to keen them running, but look for larger receipts within a few days. Our mills would run out cf wheat within a week if tbey were to run to their full capacity, so light is the anantitvin their mills, store-houses and elevators here. Other markets present no new features. GRAIN. The local market to-day for all jereals was stronger in tone, and wheat decidedly firm and higher on light receipts. Corn and oats, as well, are in better position than a few days ago. Even futures are attracting some attention.

If you have any regard for the future health of bady do not fail into the habit of giving him "little tastes" of everything. It not only disarranges his stomach, but makes him eas.ly dissatisfied with his own food. A child who has never been allowed to eat of this and that just to see whether he likes it or not, when weaned will sit up to the table and eat bis piece of of bread contentedly while the paddings and pies are passed, around him. He does not associate these articles of food with himself but with the larger people and remains satisfied with his own limited bill of fare. We know this is so from experience and also that the first piece of cake or doughnut given the child will surely be remembered. The little one who visits much can never be regulated in regard to diet, sleep or m fact any of his habits. We are strongly in favor of keeping babies at home, even visits to grandparents are not always satisfactory. It is much better for grandma to take the little outing which she needs and will enjoy, and visit the baby in its own hem. A glance through a railway oar will usually f arnioh a type of a mother s enjoyment ia visit

ing aud traveling. The memory of several such undertakings is yet fresh in onr own mind and we can not refrain from advising young mothers to keep the babies quietly at home. Then if sickness comes there will be no vain regrets that the home and its comforts had been left. But visiting with excitements, unfamiliar snrroundipg and changes of diet are one thing and healthful out-door life is another. Every baby should get a breath of fresh air each day unless the weather is severe. "In that case it ehould be wrapped up and the air in the living room entirely changed. Bear this in mind that uniess your child has grave disease, the longer you can postpone giving drugs and medicines, the better it will be for the child.

The Carrot. Yick's Monthly. The carrot, like all other root crops, delights and grows to great perfection in a deep, wellenriched, light, loamy soil, and as it is said to be one of the most healthful and nutritious ot our garden roots, it deserves on this account to be more extensively used for culinary purposes. It delights in a deeply-tilled, sandy loam one that has been given a good dressing of well-decayed stable manure, and this should be thoroughly and deeply incorporated with the soil by means 01 tne plow, and afterwards thorough harrowing be given, so as to finely pulverize the ground, and level it oS nicely. The seed should be sown in shallow drills about sixteen inches apart It is best to sow early in the spring, just as soon as the ground can be properly prepared, but if the sow ing is necessarily delayed until later, it is advis able to soak the seed for twenty-four hours in tepid water, and then dry it by mixing with dry. sifted ashes, when it may be sown. If the ground is dry at the time of sowing it is advis able to firm it well over the seeds, iu order to in sure a quick germination. This firming can be readily done by treading down the drills with the feet and, if necessary, leveling it off nicely with a rake, so that it can be more easily hoed. A GOOD appetite is essential to good health. and loss of appetite indicates something wrong. Hood's Sareaparilla creates and sharpens the appetite, assists the digestive organs and regu lates the kidneys and liver. Take Hood's Sarsaparilia this season.
