An Unusually Strong ilarket, with Advances on Nearly the Entire List. NEW YORK, Feb. 11. Money on caU was easy at lss per cent., the last loan being mle at 21j, dosing offered at 2. Prime mercantile paper 43 6 per cent. " Sterling exchange da 11, but steady at $L86 for ixty-day hill, and $4.88 4 for demand. TLe total bales of stocks to-day were 314,849 shares, including the following: Atchison, 6,770; Ijelaware, Lackawanna & Western, 14,100: Canada Southern, 12,960; Erie, 6,570; Lake Shore, f.262; Miaourl Pacific, 5,300; Northwestern, 11,319; Northern Pacific preferred, 9,090; Oregon Transcontinental, 5,930; Peoria, Decatur & EvaniTille, 6,010; Heading, 0,000; Richmond fc West Point, 17.S60; St. Paul, 18,210; Union Pacrfc.Gl ,$33; Western Union, 5,655. The stock market was remarkably strong today, although the advances scored were in tho specialties principally, and the three leading groups of shares, the trunk-lines, grangers and coal stocks, were aU culetand fluctuated within the narrowest limits. The late report of the pro. posed transfer of the Big Four to the Bee-line may have had something to do with the strength in the market, but these stocks are neither of them active, and neither made any advance. There was heavy selling of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy for Boston account, and this had some Influence to check the prevailing bullish feeling, but Its ylect upon prices outside of the roada closely connected with Burlington was very flight, and it was a subject of universal comment that in the face of such decided weakness in that stock the peneral list exhibited such marked buoyancy. The rumor that the Nebraska Board of Transportation Intended to demand the adoption of the Iowa taruf was the chief cause for the weakness displayed, but the report of the earnings for the past year was not without its influence, and the 6tock dropped over three points, although a material recovery was made before the close of bn&Jnesa. The fact that the Union Pacific funding bill has at last got before the Senate was the occasion of making Union Pacific and Oregon Short-line the strong features of the list, and both on very largo business made marked advances. Among the specialties showing the most important gains were Memphis fc Charleston, Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, Columbia & Greenville preferred, Pullman, Virginia Midland, Denver, Texas & Fort Worth certificates and Evansville fc Terre Haute. At the opening of business the feeling was very bullish, but first prices were quite irregular as compared with the final figures of Saturday, but advances were in a majority, and the changes extended to a per cent. Tho market soon gathered strength, although Burlington showed at once the weakness which afterwards became so marked a feature of the dealings. The specialties took thelead in the upward movement, but Oregon Sort-line came to the front, soon followed by Union Pacific. Burlington was strongly attacked after noon, and the trading in the rest was somewhat restricted by it for some time, but the list soon recovered its tone, and further gains were made all along the line, and the weak stocks made some recovery before 2 p. m. The amount of stock business done underwent a marked increase with the return of confidence, and tho last hour was very active, and the market closed etrong, generally, at close to the' best ilgures. Burlington shows a loss of 2 per cent., but the rest of the list is almost invariably higher. Union Pacific rose 2; Denver, Texas 6c Ft. Worth certificates, 1q; Pullman, Peoria, Decatur & Evansville and Canada Southern, 1 each; St. Paul, 1H, and Chicago fc Eastern Illinois, l per cent. Railroad bonds were active, but remarkably well distributed, no one issue showing any special animation, although the sales extended to $2,029,000. The tone was generaUy strong, but was quite irregular, and final changes are divided. The gains include Peoria seconds, 3 to 74. Government bonds were dull but firm. State bonds were dull and steady.

A moderate business waa transacted in wheat, and operators generally $ ascribed the market as dull during the early part of the session, but the latter half was more active all around. The early feeling was rather easy, Influenced some by the belief that the decrease in the vhible supply would not be as largo a, had ben expected, and the snow-storm was also taken as favorable for the winter wheat, as the plant was reported bare of enow. The opening was SUc lower than Saturday's closing, and, after a few slight fluctuations, prices advanced lc for May and 2c for July. The closing was 220 higher for May and 4c higher for July to Saturday's closing. No special reason was given for the advance, other than there wa pome demand and not much wheat offered. The feature of the mantel was the strength developed in the July future. In corn trading was fairly active and the feeling firmer. The market opened at Saturday's closing prices, but remained so only for a time, and it soo a became apparent that there were a good many purchasing orders to be filled, which advanced the market 3 4c, reacted He, ruled steady and closed a shade higher than Saturday. There was a moderate business in oats within a range of A fairly active speculative trade was reported in pork, and tho feeling was somewhat unsettled. Early in the day a weaker feeling was developed, and prices ruled 7aaioe lower. Later the demand improved, and prices rallied 11200, but settled back again 22'Se and closed quiet. Trading waa comparatively light in lard, and the feeling wa easier. Prices averaged lower, and the market closed comparatively steady at medium figures. Only a fair business was reported in short ribs. Early in the day the marLtt was easier and prices ruled .02 V .05c lower.

The receipts or tho two days were 203 car-loads, and 67 were shipped out. Among local millers, Samuel Morse and AlLoring were buying contideraole wheat..

The week opened fair with the Jobbing trade, though it was without special animation or incident except that Western cut-prices were promptly met while the sentiment was in favor of firmness. Agents in all cases in which prices aro cut by Jobbers are firm, so that such transactions by the latter entail a loss. The effect is to make the market at first hands quiet in the meantime, though no break is looked for, as manufacturers are very firm. Business in clothing woolens continues of good proportions, with the market full of buyers of that class of goods. Metals. ' m NEW YORK, Feb. ll.-Pig-iron steady.

Trade Good with Some Complaint of Narrow Margins, Especially In Groceries. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11. In nearly all departments trade is good, but the general complaint is that margins are so small that profits are too limited. Especially aro grocers selling very close, there being little or no profit on many articles on account of tho goods selling so near cost. Staple grooeries as a rule are firmly held, the slight weakness in coffees of last week having passed off. The New York Commercial Bulletin of Saturday last says, in speaking of coffees: "On the market for Rio and Santos grades the condition of affairs remains very much the same in all essential particulars, as repeatedly noted of late, and regarding the general situation there is really nothing new to communicate That the recent drag to business has afforded encouragement and indeed quite pronounced hope, to those who desire to break in value is evident and natural, with scarcely a doubt that had any pressure been brought to bear the line of cost would have fallen. But the pressure did not come in direct form, and we daily have the experience of finding holders whb exert a controlling influence, not only refusfng their pretensions, but expressing as much confidence as ever in the general prospects of tho situation." Tho same authority says of sugar: "Continued evidences of a tendency to assume a more determined position maybe noted among holders. They, of course, admit the up-hill work to be encountered in seeking to secure advantages, but nevertheless feel that even so far as the demand from the combine is concerned tendencies are in f aver of an increased call, - and desirable stocks are either carried on a pretty 6tiff valuation or as noted in our last withdrawn altogether for the time being." Canned goods are moving more freely, and tomatoes are really firmer in tone. Several chanpes will be noticed in the grocery quotations of to-day. In the produce markets thero is a good deal of activitvfor Feburary, and prices, as a rule, are firm. Turkeys and butter both advanced to-day, on liphter receipts and an increasing demand. Cranberries are less plenty, and choice fruit is higher. Oranges are meeting -with better sale, but prices arc unchanged. The provision market is somewhat irregular and some descriptions of hop prodnets aro lower, while others rango slightly higher. GRAIN.

A subscriber writing to the Rural New Yorker says: 'I am a farmer because I can always know whero my home is, and am never out of a job." Under ordinary circumstances twenty feet is close enough to plant trees around tho house. If tall growing varieties are selected they will aflord considerable protection against lightning.

But 1 do know, 6avs James Cheeseman, that in New England tho number of farmers producing over 250 pounds of butter per cow is largo and increasing, and that iu districts where creameries flourish the farmers find more profit than in milk selling. Tho Michigan Farmer says there is "no use trying to Kill such insects as the chinchbug, gray-black squash-bug, plant and bark or scale-lice with Paris green or London Eurple. This class of insects insert the eak or proboscis into the substance of the plant and suck out the sap, hence they never get any poison." Many breeders are engaged on the problem of creating a new sheep, says a writer iu tho New York Tribune, and it will be satisfactorily elucidated in due time Breeding for wool and mutton can be combined as well as breeding fowls for weight and quality of carcass, and quantity of eggs, which have been so much improved of late years. It is estimated, says the American Cultivator, that tho area of unreclaimed swamp and marsh land in the United States that can be drained and brought nndcr cultivation is equal to that of all the cultivated lands, or nearly 300,000,000 sicres. Much of this land could be reclaimed without much difficulty or expense, and would make farm land of great value. (ErtaMUhedlSSO.) IJDI151P0LIS OUrrll 196L) "BWSluESS UIIIlEnSIT Qj S. Pea.
