MONET, STOCKS A'D BONDS. An Active Opening at New York, Followed by Dullness and a Decline. . JTITW YORK, March 27. Money on caU was easy at 225 per cent, tho last loan being iuado at 2 per cent, closing offered at 12. Prime mercantile paper 443 Gi per cent. Sterling exchange dull but firm at $485 for sixtynlaybillaand $4.88 3; for demand. , The total sale3 of stocks to-day wero 239,935 shares, including the following: Atchison, 41,4 10; Delaware, Lackawanna k Western, 7,930; Lake Ehore, 5,145; Louisville & Nashville, 8,275; Missouri Pacific, 4,425; Northwestern, 33,110; Reading, 40,100; St. Taul, 26,645; Union Pacific, 0,770. The stock market started out this morning with a burst of activity, which, however, soon died away, and the usual dullness ensued, with a decline from the highest price of the opening. The result of the day's operations, however, is to If avc the great majority of the list fractionally . higher, with a few marked gains. The quota-. tlous from London this morning were materially higher, and the foreigners supplemented that with liberal buying orders, especially in St. Paul, Lake Shoie, Union Paci flc and Louisville & Nashville. The other reports from the other side were uniformly favorable, and here there was less pressure upon the stocks which have been so weak of late, and this Induced some buying by the trading element and encouraged purchases for the "long account generally. The liquidation in Atchi3on seemed to have come to a pause, and purchases aggregating 2,500 shares by an influential house helped the stock up, but the "bear manipulation again became conspicuous and the early improvement wa9 not maintained. After the first sharp demand had been satisfied -the market settled back into the usual dullness. and the pressure upon Reading, Atchison and Northwestern was renewed. The narrowness of the range of fluctuations, even in the active 6hares, was in marked contrast to that of the previous days, and the list remained without special feature until the close. The opening prices were generally from 8 3 percent, higher than last evening's closing figures, while Lake Shore was up and Burlington :H. There were some further slight advances in the early trading on a Tery large business, but the activity and strength soon disappeared, and prices again were turned downward, with Missouri Pacific, Reading and ' Atchison showing most weakness. After the first hour, however, a firm tone developed right through the list, and fractional advances wero again scored. Extreme dullness marked the : trading In the afternoon, with no feature orP movement until toward delivery hour, when Northwestern was a rain attacked with little effect, and in the last hour the strong tone reap-1 peared and Atchison rose a point, and with Burlington and Rock Island reached the highest i price of the day. The close was quiet but firm, ; and generally at close to the opening figures. Almost the entire active list Is higher to-night, and Burlington rose m, Atchison, Rock Island ; and fit. Paul 1 per cent, each, and others frao- -tions. Railroad bonds were again fsuly active, the sales of all issues aggregating $l,t03,O00 out of which the Denver k Rio Grande Western assented bonds contributed $189,000. These bonds were the special feature of the day, and after opening up ,at 91 n, they advanced to 934. ; but reacted to 90S, finally closing at the opening , price. The announcement of the opening of the Oklohama Territory had a temporary effect upon theAtlantio fe Pacific bonds, but the Improvement was afterward lost The general list was oulte Irregular, and closing nkures generally show fractional changes. Among those which are higher. Iron Mountain seconds rose 4, to 109. . -The declines were not numerous nor important. Government bonds have been dull but firm. 1 State bonds have been dull and without feature.

A moderate business was transacted in wheat to-day, and the market ruled rather quiet most of the session, being only occasionally relieved from dullness by temporary spurts of trading. For May delivery, business was slow, trading centering mainly in July, In which a fair business was transacted in the aggregate. May opened ?3l40 higher, declined, with some fluctuations, 2Vc, advanced 1 2C, and closed 30 lower than yesterday. June advanced Vo, declined lc, and closed 40 lower. July opened 7$nihc higher, declined 1C, rallied Vc, and closed ao higher. Many operators closed their May trades. whlleJuly seems to be gaining more attention. The prolonged absence of rain and talk; of too dry weather in some sections of the winter-wheat States has influenced buying for the new-crop futures, and evidently was the basis on which the advance was established. Corn was moderately active at times, though most of the session the market ruled auiet. The feeling on the whole was firmer, and slightly higher prices wero established. Opeulng sales were a shade higher than tho closing prices of yesterday, influenced some by the moderate receipts, eased ou 4C on selling by a prominent local operator, reacted c, became steady, and closed a shade higher than yesterday. The activity and strength noted in oats yesterday was continued to-day on an enlarged scale, and an advance was recorded. The "bulsT was due entirely to the manoeuvres of local ojerators, whom alter allowing a recession of 84C soon after the opening, took hold and by vigorous bidding started the "shortsinto buying.- A few outside buying orders were also received, and prices were bid up Vo for Mav and 4C for June, with heavy trading.

A recession of go tatilowed, and the market closed steady at a bo it cwiterday'a closing sales. Trading was qufle Irrlsk In pork during the g;ater par-. lion of the day. Opening sales were made at 5o decline1, and a further reduction of 5&73C was eabrnittcdto with comparatively UsM trading. ' Later the demand improved, and prices ad- ' V::tl yswc, but a reduction of 23450 w&9

acceeded to toward the close, and the market ruled quiet. A fairly active speculative tradewas reported la lard, and the feeling was stronger.

Horse Stables. rtardvrare Journal. . , Toliavo bcalthr aua iicartv nccscs auo care must be taken to provido tbem ivitli suitable stables. These should be warm, dry, and well ventilated. If tho ixof is of straw let it do tnaicuea so xuai it leak. No farmer can afford to have water leaking down upon his horses, llavo nrsc roof that does not leak; next see tbtit the sides of the stable aro free from crac.TS, so ' that there will be no draft upon the horses. Have the ventilators so that they are bin der your control. After yon have a govu root and tight sides, properly ventilated ind I12hted.1t is proper to consider ing iloor of the stable, ion can cen no better one than earth. This will keep tho feet of tho horse in good condition, and needs only to be kept level by tilling in the holes made by the stamping of the feet of the horses. . If you have an earth lloor ue sure to Keep n iree from ii ridce over which the horse must hang when it lies down. The next best iloor is nuuie of short blocks of wood, snch as are used in paving city streets. If the stable) is not put on the ground level, of course a floor will need to be made of plank. Of whatever the stable floor is made, have a drain. This will facilitate keeping the horses clevin aud tho stables clean and healthv. Have the stalls wide enough to allow the horses to lie down comfortably. It is well to have tho partitions high enough to prevent tho horses reaching each other. Bo sure to have no projections in tho stable upon which horses can hurt themselves in lying down or raising their heads. This will necessitate having the ceiling high enough to clear their heads when they jerk up suddenly. . Have the feed-box and rack just high 1 enough to allow tho head to be in a natural position while eatiuft. Jiavo ootn inese so arranged that there will b no waste of grain or hay. To save June in leeaing nave grain-bin and hay handy to stable. When the stable is made couil aria Die, convenient and healthy, 6ee that the surroundings aro made the same. Don't have a great pile of manure just in front of the door. Have a small drain to carry the water irom tno stable, so that it may be approached handily, and at tho same time more healthful, because free from stagnant water. Now is the best time of tho year to put tho stable in good shape. Feeding Milch Cows. Hoard's Dairyman. . The testimony accumulates that it is Detr ter to feed milch cows but twice per day, as it is alleged that well-fed cows can put in their time resting and masticating their food more prohtablv than to spend it in any other wav. The man who thinks a cow ought to be cantering all over a halfbare pasture to get a livelihood doubtless does not believe the above. If a man owns high-priced valuable lands that will grow corn, ne neea not worry nimsen inuca whether his farm is naturally adapted to grazing, or growing grass or not. The land that will grow corn well will also grow clover, rye, barley and oats; and with them the farmer is in condition to make milk, cheeso and butter cheaper per pound that can be done on the pastures on lands worth $40 per acre or more. Two eight-hundred-pound cows can be fed all the forage needed for a whole year, and it will grow on an acre, if highly fertilized and planted with corn. Where are the pastures, 'permanent or otherwise, that ever did or ever will do thatt It is a successful way of managing the creamery business to have a branch factory a lew miles awayirom tho main one, at a good shipping point, and only have a 6m all building, a separator, and a three or lour-uorse power engine to operate it, and then take the cream to the main factory to be churned. The farmers can thus have tho benehts of the co operative system at points where it would not pay to ouua a large xactory. There aro inquiring persons who are inclined to change the timo of year for the production of the most milk in winter, and yet who are at a loss to Know tho most feasible way to get their cows into seasonable milkers, whether to quickly breed those that come in in the early spring, or fail to breed anv until about Dec. 1, and feed well and milk the farrow herd mean time. The latter course, we believe, is being adopted mostly by those who seek to change from summer to winter dairying. It is well. also, for such a fanner to keen an eye out for good cows that arc fresh and are f i -i r 11 i 'il i lor saie in inn iau, anu eiiner increase nis herd thus, or take the opportunity to weed out poor cows, if ho has them. 9 i Should a lamb in any way get badly chilled take him to a warm room and give him half a teaspoonfulof cider brandy with a little milk. 1 hen put him into a pail or quite warm warter for live minutes, rub him dry and roll him in a hot blanket. Wnen he has slept off the eflects of tho brandy he will be ready to take his rations in the natural way. President Smart, of Purduo University, has tigured it out that Indiana is growing 25,000,000 poorer each year because of neglect to husband resources of fertility. "It is," he says, "time for every farmer to turn attention to saving wnat he pos sesses. In the improved agriculture which is in late years renewing tho worn-out New England farms, potash takes an important part, and car-loads of ashes are brought over from tho timbered regions of Canada for use by New England farmers.
