Sterling exchange dull but steady at $4.86U for sixty-day bills and $4,893 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day "were 223,311 rhares, including the following: Atchison, 26,265; Delaware, Lackawanna fc Western, 44200; Erie, 29,179; Kansas & Texas, 5,520; Lake fihore, 4,120; Louisville & Xashvtlle, 4.430; Missouri Pacific, 3,201; Northwestern, 10,785; Oregon Transcontinental, 3,410; Heading, 9,900; Richmond & West Point, 5,510; St. Paul, 23,470; Union Pacific, 3,570. The stock market to-day was fairly active, but while feveriih, Irregular and unsettled In the forenoon, was decidedly strong, especially for the specialties in the afternoon, and final declines are few in number. There was a generally bullish temper at the opening this morning, but London figures came lower, and that center, apparently, was a seller of its specialties in the early dealings, and the local and Chicago "bears" also were doing their utmost to depress the list. St. Paul became the special point of attack, and it yielded about a point in the forenoon, while the impression made upon the rest of the list was flight, and in most case the decline was over in the first few minutes, while in not a few instances the opening figures were the lowest of the day. The market was not long in showings marked strong undertone, and the publication of the earnings of the St. Paul and the Northern Pacific roads for the second week in February, each of which, shows gains of more than $50,000, turned the tide all over the list, and everything moved up from that time. Manhattan became a feature, and on large dealings for that stock was advanced over 3 points, and with Chattanooga, which rose 2 per cent, led the upward movement In the active list London was a purchaser of Erie, and that stock, with New England and St PauL were most active, although their fluctuations were small. The coal stocks and trunk lines were very quiet and featureless throughout the entire day. The concessions from Saturday's figures at the opening extended to a per cent, and the market was feverish and Irregular, with, a genera lly weak tone tor the first few minutes, when the general list developed the same strong tone which has been w marked a feature for some days past The fluctuations were small and irregular throughout the first hour but before noon there were fractional gains all over the list, with Tennessee Coal leading with a gain of over a point. The market auieted down materially after noon, but the upward movement became more general, and Manhattan took the lead in the advance, followed later by Chattanooga and Chicago Gas. There was no further change In the temperature of the speculation, and the market finally closed active and strong at about the best prices of the day. The active stocks are almost invariably higher this evening, the declines being few and unimportant while Manhattan ro.e 34 and Chattanooga H, other gains being fractional. The railroad bond market was again active today, the sales of all is sues reaching $2,731,000, and to that amount Chicago Gas and Coke firsts contributed $274,000; Denver & Rio Grande Western assenteds. $155,000; Burlington & Nebraska fours $145,000, and the Richmond & West Point trusts sixes, $140,000. There was more decided strength shown than on any day for a week past, and while there were a few marked declines, such as in the International seconds and the Ohio, Indiana fc Western issues, the gains were uniform, and extended throughout the list. Most marked of these were Monis A Essex firsts. 2, to 14S; Denver and South Park firsts. 28. to Denver & Rio Grande Western assented. 2, to 8124. and Erie incomes, 2, to 72.

The Ups and Downs 0 the Market, with the Range in Prices of the Leading Articles. CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Wheat was unsettled and nervous to-day. Business was not large, but the numerous fluctuations and actions of the market influenced moderate trading. Outsido business was rather light. The opening was very weak and 43c lower than the closing figures of Saturday, and very quickly sold off lc more. The decline was assisted by the selling of wheat in small quantities by rarties who were "long and the general influence, probably, was the snow-storm, which acted as a weakening factor. Later again it reached the out side range, Influenced possibly by the decrease In the visible supply, but it again eased off and closed about lc lower for May and 7ffC lower for July than the closing figures of Saturday, nowever. the changes in the market trere credited more to local speculation than to any outside Influences. Trading in corn was quite limited throughout the entire session and confined largely to the operations of local specu lators. The feeling developed was rather easier and transactions were at sliahtly reduced prices compared with Saturday. Oats were in light demand and e isier for May, but price changes were confined to 4o range. The nearfutuie were stronger and February advanced Hc Only a moderate trade was reported In hog products snd the market was easier. Early in the day the feeling In mess jork wa firmer and prices ruled 6&7sc higher. Later, however, a weaker feeling wa5 developed, and prices receded 1233 15c Toward the close more steadiness prevailed and prices advanced 5372C, and dosed ratter quiet Lard dull and .02 .050

Figures Showing the Quantity in Sight in the United States and Canada NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Following is a state ment of tne visible supply of grain, afloat and in store, on Saturday, Feb. 16, as compiled at the New Y'ork Produce Exchange: Wheat, 33,435,466 bu, adecreaseof 754.910bu; corn, 14,588,495 bu, an increase of 553,387 bu; oats, 8,155,103 bu, an increase of 75,274 bu; rye, 1,712,733 bu, a increase of 14.817 bu; barley, 2,162,159 bu, a decrease of 74,6-16 bu. The visible supply of grain, in comparison with that of one week ago, as reported by the Chicago Board of Trade, is as follows: Wheat, 33,430,000 bu, a decrease of 755.000 bu; corn, 14,589,000 bu, an increase of 452,000 bu; oats. 8,155,000 bu, an increase of 75,000 bu; rye. 1,713,000 bu, a decreaejof 17,000 bu; barley, 2,162,000 bu, a decrease of 75,000 bu. , The Foreign Grain Trade. LONDON, Feb. 18. The Mark Lane Express in its weekly review of the Britishgraln trade says: .The tone of the British wheat market since the beginning of the month has slightly improved, but it is still very low. The sales of English wheat during the past week were 50,341 quarters at 29s 6d, against 57,410 quarters at 30s Id, during the corresponding week last year. Millers have distinct difficulty in procuring really t sound English wheat of fair weigut under 34s. English and Hungarian flours were stationary. American was held at a slight advance in values. Foreign wheat is subject to two different tendencies. The growing continental demand for California wheat remove to a great extent the depression induced by the excess over the average on passage. If the continent takes the surplus it will strengthen the English markets, which are aided by the certainty of Australian abstention from wheat shipments. In red wheat depressing influences prevail. Russia last week Increased her shipments from 63,789 to 323,684 quarters, and India was proffering at a low prlc. Barley was weaker, except the finer sorts, which were in request at 32342s. Oats, beans and peaS were reasonably firm, although prices declined in the North. Corn was unsettled; new American averaged 21s; round, 23s. To-day there was a moderate attendance of millers, but little business was done. English wheat was out of condition and almost unsalable. Foreign wheat was dull at an occasional decline of 6d on the week. Barley, corn, oats, beans and peas opened dull at last Monday's currencies. Flour was almost equally inert. Toward the close the inquiry for oats improved, while the demand for corn slackened. TRADE LN GENERAL. Quotations at St. Ixmls, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Other PoinU. ST. LOUIS.

Holders of sample wheat were inclined to hold for higher prices in view of the firmness late Saturday in speculative markets, and the fact that to-dav's receipts were considerably below what had been esti mated. 1 here was a fair Inquiry from both local and outside millers, but the attempt to put up prices failed and prices were promptly put down as the demand w as cut down. At the previous range there was a moderate business, the de mand being mainly for the best samples of Iso. 2. Receipts for the day were 196 cars: shipments. 88.

Owing to Unfavorable Weather Trade Is Rather Quiet, with Few Fluctuations in Values. Imia'jltolis, Feb. 18. A snow-storm and more winterish weather unfavorably affected trade to-day. In all departments there was a straightening up of goods to ascertain what particular line needed replenishing, and tho day can bo set down as having been a bad Monday. There is no grumbling, however, as the business in the first half of the month was very satisfactory, and the outlook for the future is very promising. Fluctuations in value were hardly worth mentioning. The dry goods men are shaping up matters for an early and brisk spring trade, and the boot and shoe men are doing the same. Leather dealers report trade excellent, while tfcjB hide men say it could hardly be worse. Hog products carry an unsettled tone; as usual in February. The flour market drags, and In the wool market nqthlng is doing. In groceries steady prices rule, coft'ees and sugars are firmly held, but efforts to spring prices prove a failure. Choice syrups are meeting with some sale, while molasses moves slow. Salt flsh are in good request at firm prices with very few No. 1 mackerel on the market. Poultry and butter are both firm at our quotations. Eggs are firmer than last week, and should the weather continue colder, higher prices may bo realized, but no advance was made to-day. The seed market is quiet for the time being, while prices rule firm on most varieties. GltAIN.

In Bulletin L of the New Jcrsev station, Professor Hulst, the entomologist, gives a summary; of the history and habits of insects which are destructive to cabbages, and of the various remedies which Tvill prevent their ravages. For tho common cabbageworm, he recommends sprinkling the plant 9 with water heated to a point between 140 and 160 degrees. A thermometer must be' used in order that the temperature shall be between these points. Tho "rose" of the watering-pot must be very fine, bo that the water shall be sprayed on the worms, and not heavily , sprinkled. Pyretluum powder (Persian insect powder mixed with six to twelve times the bulk of plaster or air-slacked lime, is also effective, and is a good preventive as long as not washed on' by rains. Kerosene emulsion diluted with nine times the quantity of. water is also sure death to the worms and a preventive like pyrcthrum. Other popular remedies often faiL The 6ame remedies have also been found effective in getting rid of most of the cabbage lice which often gather in masses on the leaves. For clubroot no remedy has been found which is at all certain. Professor Ilulst is hopeful that somo preparation of chloride of lime or some other salt of lime may prove a certain remedy. Experiments with Harrows, Prof. J. W. Sanborn, of the Missouri Agricultural College, last year made experiments to show the value of different narrows, and his conclusions he summarizes as follows: 1. No one harrow is sufficient for the best tilth of a farm. 2. The harrow needed varies with soil and its conditions. 3. Harrows, as substitutes for plows, do not save force. 4.- Harrows till shallower than is supposed. 5. The bottom of the tilled area varies widely in regularity. 6. "Wedge teeth and flat teeth with a front 6lat compress soil, and are probably good for light soils. 7. Teeth lifting dirt to the rear loosen soils the best. 8. One harrow may bre the clods best, but not leave as much fitxi 6oil as another. 9. Each harrow tried had a place to which it is best adapted, but for a general-purpose harrow on a heavy soil, depth of cut, looseness of soil, ease of draft, and pnlver ization, being considered the leading demands of a harrow, tho disk, on tho whole, E roved the most satisfactory, although aving the weakness of forming a bad bottom and of ridging the land. Bulletin No. 3 of the Michigan experiment station gives the opinions of leading veterinarians on the cause of heaves ana broken wind in horses. Most of them say that dusty hay is a cause, probably, and greatly aggravates the disease. It is curious to note that, formerly, it was a fact that driving snch horses to the Western States and keeping them there relieved or cured this disease. But, as the culture of clover advanced westward, heaves followed, and now it is not uncommon as far west as Kansas. In the New England States, in localities where clover is not now grown, broken wind is comparatively scarce. One of the veterinarians, Dr. Granger, is of the opinion that the cause of the disease is inherent weakness, aggravated by dusty food. The very latest claim made for a new kind of cattle food, that is said to pay well, and most advantageonsly affects the flow of good milk, is tomatoes. In Virginia they have been tried on quite-a large scale; and it has been found that the vines bear ripo fruit from August to lato in October, and tho yield per acre is euormous. Of course, they are very watery food, but the same is true of roots, clover, corn stalks or pumpkins. nn Are the Best IN TILE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES Off Durability, Evenness of Point, and Workmanship.
