MONEY, BONDS AND STOCKS. The Market Irregular, baTcenerally Higher at the Close. NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Money on caU wa tisj at lifl32 per cent., the last loan being made at 12, closing offered at Vh Prime mercantile paper 436 per cent. Sterling exchange dull but steady at $4,86 lor sixty-day bills, and $4.8 8 a for demand. The total sales ol stocks to-day were 259,903 shares, including the following: Atchison, 4200; Canada Southern, 11,400; Delaware, Lackawanna Ss Western, 11,750; Erie, 4,120; Missouri Pacific, 4,700; Northwestern, 15,140; Northern Pacific preferred, 4,552; Peoria, Decatur fc Evansvllle, 3,330; Eeadinsr, 8,700; BichmondA "West Toint, 27,630; 6L Paul, 16,500; Union Pacific, 8,265. The stock market was a divided one to-day, and while in some cases the beat figures of the raat week were reached, tn others the lowest prices known for years were established. The general tendency of prices was upward, but the grarcers were still the disturbing factors in the situation, and the weakness displayed In those shares gare the rest of the list a rather feverish appearance, and the final changes are Irregular. The market, however, gave unmistakable" evidence of a disposition to break away from the grangers entirely, and outside of those stocks and the few specialties which have made unusually large gains of late, there were no declines to speak of, and the decided advances were quite numerous. The announcement late last evening that the Illinois Central had signed the agreement was contradicted this morning, and bearish dispatches from Chicago were again predicting the collapse of the Interstate Association, and there was renewed liquidation in the grangers, with Illinois Central, Burlington, Bock Island and Omaha preferred very conspicuous for the dedices established, all reaching the lowest prices for a long time. The other grangers St Paul, Northwestern and soma others were comparatively well held, and came out at the end of the day about even with last night's figures. The weakness In the stocks mentioned had a marked Influence for a time being upon the rest of the list, but they soon brofce away, and for the remainder of the day they were strong all the way out. The first to show any marked improvement was Richmond & West Point, which became very active and rose about a point upon the receipt of the newa that the Attorney-general of Virginia had refused to proceed against the company in the suit to forfeit its charter. The Vanderbilta were all stronr, though only in Canada Southern, C, C, a A I. ana Big Pour, the last two of which again made very marked gains, were the Advances of any note. Among the specialties the Chesapeake & Ohio, Lake Erie & Western, Chicago Ac Eastern Illinois and Chicago Gas were most prominent for strength, while Pullman had a weak spell again and retired over 2 per cent. At the opening London had some seuinjr orders, and the Chica go people were selling the grangers, while most of the buying was from the commission houses, and the market was quiet, with little doing for that time of day outside of a few leading shares. First prices were Irregular, but In most cases lower, declines extending to s per cent. The weakness in the grangers appeared immediately, and Burlington took the lead, with a drop of over a point. At noon most shares were a shade below opening figures. Comparative dullness overspread the list in the afternoon, but CL, C, C. & L and Big Four came to the front, end as the day wod along the upward movement became more pronounced, and more animation marked the trading. The market finally closed active and strong, generally at small fractions better than first figures. Pullman Is off 2s, Burlington l's and Rock Island l1, but Wheeling & , Lake Erie preferred gained 18, and C, C, C & I. also gained l1?. The railroad bond market was again comparatively quiet, but the sales of all issues, to-day. aggregated only $ 1,1)33,000. Out of this amount Atlantic A Pacific fours contributed $175,000, and the International sixes $104,000. The weakness in the latter bonds was the special feature of the day, but the general list was also inclined to droop, and the final changes show a majority of Important declines for the first time siiice the first of the year. Among those which are lower. International seconds lost 3 at 66 V The advances include C, C, usL general sixes, 2, to 116; Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western, Michigan division. 3, to 115. and Peoria, Decatur & EransvUle firsts. 4, to 100.

There was less demand for sample wheat among the millers than for the few days past, and the apparent hesitation of speculative markets was the chief cause of it. It is acknowledged that good wheat is scarce, but buyers seemed to think that all kinds of wheat were plenty enough at the price asked. Sales were slow, some few orders being filled from outside points at the start, but local millers preparing to nold off to see if prices will not de cline runner, lteceipts were iud cars ror tne day and 45 were shipped.

Whilo occasionally wholesale merchants are heard to grumble at the amount of business, as a rule they are very well satisfied with their trade thus far in February. In fact, in some bnesthe trade of any former year In February has been exceeded, the dry goods and grocery markets being specially fortunate In this respect Druggists, dealers in leather, in hardware, iron, boots and shoes and confectioneries hare also had an excellent trade in the last week. Winter-like weather and good, solid roads are doubtless the two greatest benefactors In that direction. Traveling salesmen report that country merchants eeem to be in better shape financially than usual at this season of the year, and it is daily becoming more apparent that buyers in a retail way are disposed to pay either cash or more promptly, which helps matters all around, keeps business men in a cheerful mood and trade moving along smoothly. In prices, to-day, fluctuations were few. Coffees and sugars are steady and a shade tinner, with a liberal distribution in progress. Mackerel Is meeting with more attention, and prices rule firm and higher for good stock than at the approach of lenten season last year. Canned goods are selling better. Molasses, syrups and dried fruits are meeting with poor sale. In the produce markets there is more activity, with a falling off in receipts. Eggs, butter and poultry are all higher than a week ago, and still higher prices are indicated for poultry. Really choice butter meets with ready Rale at the best quotation. Vegetables of all kinds are firmer, but quotably unchanged. The seed market Is rather quiet, and the same can be said of the wool markeL GRAIN. A cloud still broods over the local market, wheat being the only cereal which shows any firmness. Sellers of other grains are plenty, while buyers who are disposed to make liberal purchases are very few. The range of prices for the day was as follows: WheatNo. 2 red. 99c 3 $1; No. 3 red, 90295c; rejected, 7580o for poorer, and 853 00c for choice samples.

Beef tea, mutton and chicken broths au are supposed to know how to make, to extract in all its strength the juices of the meat. A bit of chicken breast or a broiled bird will of ten please a sick person when unexpected especially. Trifles often assume a good deal of consequence to those who are ill and dependent. Two fair, tart apples prepared in the following way are good: Pare and halve the apples and remove the cores. Pnt in a buttered baking-dish and sprinkle plentifully with sugar. Take a large spoonful of butter, and nib into it a small spoonful of flour, add a small cup of boiling water, and pour over the apples, and bake them till tender. A dainty dish, and inviting, is made in thiswise: Soak one spoonful of gelatin in half a cup of water an hour, add two spoonfuls of sugar, and dissolve over the tire. When nearly cold and stiff beat in tho frothed white of an egg, the juice of half a lemon and of one large orange. Beat well ?ndcool in cups. Make the day before wanted. Gruels of all 6orts require to be more salted than for people in health, and the longer they simmer the better they are they should never boiL Rice nicely boiled and served with cream is apt to be acceptable and relished by the sick. Mint julep for an invalid is made by adding a few sprigs of mint to a glass of port wine.a Sweeten it to the taste and add a few bits of cracker. Port-wine jeliy is nourishing and refreshing. Put one ounce of gelatin and one large spoonful of sugar in one gill of cold water. Allow this to heat gradually, and when dissolved take it from the fire and add one pint of port wine. Cool it in molds. A plain jelly of gelatin, made very acid with lemon juice, is sure to relish when a person is ill, and lemon juice itself is one of the best of nature's regulators. Great Britain's Decrease In Cattle. Towa Stat Register. Great) Britain has 1,000,000 less cattle than one year ago. One hundred thousand calves less were raised last year than the year before. So we learn from papers from that country. This tells the sanguine effect of the great bear movement that low prices has set operating. It is a struggle for existence. The fittest only will continue to grow cattle. Everywhere east of the Mississippi river it costs more to grow cattle than in Iowa. Everywhere west and south of Iowa poor cattle are grown cheaper than in Iowa. Our Eastern neighbors can only compete with ris by greater economy in production through better stock and better methods. We can only keep ahead of our competitors on our western side by the 6ame methods. Competition is close. Much beef is put on the market at a loss. We have no statistics telling us what tbe home reductions in our herds are, but it is very great The cattle trust is not calculating on the consequences of their work. They rob the producer by combinations, but they cannot compel production when it does not pay. Depletion in herds will eventually raise prices. Such a quantitv of beef in all shapes going on the world's markets is fatal to the continuance of production, except under theuiost favorable circumstances. The Chicago combination, by bearing prices, is hurrying every unprofitable producer out of the business. The British catch it first. They ha ve to send here for feed. Eastern States suffer next. They also buy feed. So the bear movement affects beef production westward steadily. The corn and grass belt flcan bid defiance to this movement. True, we get no profit now, other? east of us lose and quit, but when enough quit beef will go up sure to go up. The law of compensation is driving people ast of us out of business. The law of supply and demand will fix nrices in future as it does now. Demoralization now gives too great a supply, which enables the cattle trustg to put prices at their own figures. This drives out of business moro than necessary, and this in turn will create scarcity. e cannot be beaten in the production of good cattle if we observe the laws of economy that require good blood and good keeping, and good sense in management. Some Recipes. Excellent Doughnuts One cup sour cream; one cup sour milk; two cups sugar; one teaspoonful soda, or enough to sweeten milk; one teaspoonful of butter; four eggs. Flavor with nutmeg. In frying, use half, or less than half, lard, and half, or more than half, suet, and very little will be soaked up in the doughnuts. Panned Oysters Put twenty-five oyster in a colander and wash by pouring cold water over them; allow them to dram ten minutes; do not save either tho water or liquor. Put an iron frying-pan over a quick fire to heat; as soon as it is hissing lior, throw in tho oysters and 6hake and stir until they boil; then add salt, pepper and a piece of butter the size of a largo walnut. Serve in a hot dish immediately. These are very nice, retaining all the natural flavor of the oyster. Breakfast Sausage Chop very fine one pound of uncooked veal and a quarter pound of breakfast bacon; add to it a level teaspoonful of salt, a quarter teaspoonful of pepper, and a half teaspoonful of powdered sage: mix well together and form into cakes. When ready to use, fry until well done in beef drippings, or, better still, in the fat tried from a lew slices of bacon. These sausages served with cream sanco and flannel cakes, make a very attractive breakfast dish. If you have a meat chopper, the meat from a large knuckle will be best and cheapest to use. . Rice Balls Press cold' boiled rice through n colander, season it weU with salt and pepper, and add a little chopped parsley. Flour your hand and take into it about a tablcspoonf ul of the cold rice; press it out into a sort of a cake; placo iu ti.e center a piece of butter the size of a ' hickorynut, fold the rice over, forming it into a perfect ball, with the butter in the center. Stand these balls about two inches apart, in a baking-panj brush them first with milk, and then with melted butter, and brown in a quick oven. These are exceedingly nice to servo with boiled mutton. ; Wash a silk , handkerchief in water in which the best castile soap has been lathered. Then 6nap between tho fingers until nearly dry and press under a weight. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, ahe cried for Castorla, ; When she became Miss, she clung to Castorla, -When sho hail Children, she gave them Castorla.
