Wheat-Sellers Too Numerous, Causing Trices to Take a Turn Downward?. May and 'Jane Both Lose About Five CentsCorn Easier and Lower Oats Active and Irregular Hog Products Unsettled. MONET, STOCKS AND BONDS. The Market Active, but Very Weak and Lower for Nearly Everything. Npw YORK, April 8. Money on caU was easy at 324 per cent, the last loan being made at 3, closing offered at 3. Prim mercantile paper 43 per cent. Eterlins exchange dnll, bit firm at $4.86 for sixty-day bills and $1.83 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 290,370 shares, including the following: Atchison, 54,430; Delaware, Lackawana & Western, 12,200; Lake Shore, 10,835; ' Louisville fc Nashville, 7,870; Missouri Pacific, 16,420; Northwestern. 30,700; Heading, 29,600; Richmond & West Point. 7.40O; St. Paul, 33,721; Union Pacific, 13.751; Western Union. 3,192. Therewas another marked and sudden change in the temper of the stock market to-day, and it was active and decidedly weak throughout, there be ingonly one strong spot in the list, and everything to-night materially lower than at tie close on Saturday. The influence of the bank statement was felt in full this -morning, for the low state of the resources of the banks 'not only called a halt in the foreign buying which was becoming somewhat o a factor last week, but it encouraged further attacks by the bearish element and induced realizing by the sbort-walsted "imlls" upon the rise of last week. There was a notable absence of support, especially in the stocks which so lately have been the leaders of the upward movements. Atchison was again the great feature of the day, and while commanding a premium for use which reached 1-4 per cent, per diem, was sold recklessly by the'Lear." but the general belief I that after Tuesday there will be heavy sales of stock bought for purposes of control. The report of the earning for February also went some way laeneouragiug the pleasure, as there was a deficiency in meeting fixed charges. Similar reports about Missouri Pacific were circulated, aud that stock was a good second, with New England and Northwestern following. The other grangers were not forgotten, and onlr St. Paul out of the entire list showed any support whatever, audit is exceptional in showing a small advance at the close this evening. The opening figure were a great disappointment to those who had regarded the flurry at the clos on baturday as a temporary set-back, as first prices were from J3 per cent, lower than the final figures of Saturday. Missouri Pacitio took the lead in the early decline, while the amount of business done was only moderate, and although there was some recovery toward 11 o'clock it was entirely lnslgnlffcaut, as were all te rest of the rallies during the day. Atchison then became the leader, and waa joined by New England, and before noon the movement had become very marked. Cotton Oil became prominent after noon, but the decline was fcteadtly maintained throughout, though the fctrength in Ht, Paul became very noticeable at this time. Toward delivery hour the pressure was removed, and the market subsided into dullness, but there waa another attack upon Atchinson in the last hour, when the greater portion . of its Joss for the day was sustained. The maiket closed fairly active and weak, although a alight rally occurred". Most of the list, however, were at or near the lowest figures for the day. Atchison is down 3 per cent.. New England, l7n; Missouri Pacific and Colorado Coal, l3 Rock Island, Jersey Central, Big Four and Union Pacific, each, and Burlington, 19. Railroad bouds were quiet, although the deallngs extended to an unusually large number of issues. Hud the sales of all issues aggregated $1,164,000, out of which Short-line sixes furnished $116,000 and Cheasaneake A Ohio $104,000. The list did not sympathize with the decline in shares, but remained firm without special feature. San Francisco (Class A) rose 2, to 120. Government bonds were dull and heavy. State bonds were dull and featureless. Closing quotations were: Four per ct. bondsl28 Kansas A Texas... 129 Four per ct. bondsl-3? Lake ETie A West. 17 3 L., E.

A larger business was' done in wheat, and interest centered principally in the July future. Sellers were the most numerous, and a Lower range of prices was established, in which all futures shared. Operators now being of the opinion that the May deal is over, are getting more confident, 'and selling. Parties who would not sell for fear of manipulation, heretofore, are now selling freely, and it is rumored that two prominent floor traxTers had entered on a "bear" campaign for July delivery; at least, they were reported as being heavy sellers , to-day. . The weakness and declining prices had the effect of bringing out considerable "long" wheat. Outside Influences were all favorable to "short sellers. May opened $43140 lower, and declined 33o more, closing about 5c lower than Saturday. June closed 43j6 lower. July opened weak and c3 4f lower, ruled 6teady for a while, .then declined lc more and clo:ed about 240 lower than Saturday. Crop reports continue favorable and uro having moro effect upon the market. A fair business was transacted eaily in corn, within a narrow range, after which the market ruled quiet.

Oats were active but unsettle and Irregular, a large business being 1 rantacted. The opening was easy, and a slight decline ou May was witnessed. Buying by a large operator reversed the downward current, and an advance of 320 was recorded. ThU brought in a large Lumber of fellers for all deliveries, and, although the trade was good, priors gradually receded a 3!c. Around inside prices "short" bought heavily, but the market cloned quiet and easy at about the lowest of the day, and s 4C lower than Saturday. Pork was active. Irregular and somewhat unetthrd.

Pare two medium-sized potatoes and boil them until tender. Put one cud of Hour in the bread-pan, pour over it a cup of the boiling potato water, beat quickly,'then mash tho potatoes through a colander in this batter, and beat again until smooth. When luke-warm add a half cup of yeast anu a leaspooniiu 01 gau; niix cover ana siana asiao over mgnt. in tne morning scald a quart of milk, when luke-warm add 6uflicient Hour to make a batter, and a teaspoonful of salt; beat until smooth, and then turn in the potato sponge, cover and stand in a warm place for about two hours. or until very light, then add gradually sufiicieuii uour 10 niuKe uougn; iuko 11 out on the board, knead it quickly, gently adding as little Hour as possible to prevent sticking. Knead and knead until tho dough is soft, smooth and elastic. Now cut the dough into quarters, mold each quarter into a loaf, place in greased pans, cover, stand in a warm place to rise until doublo its bulk, then bake in a moderately quick oven for three-quarters 01 an hour. In a family 01 two it would be well to add shortening to one-quarter and make a pan of biscuits. The remaining three loaves will be quite enough to last until next baking day. Vanilla Flavoring:. Table Talk. Vinilla snear is very' much the easier made, and for my own use I like it better. Procure iresh, 6o!t. oily beans, about three good-sized ones to four ounces of granulated sugar. Put your sugar in a mortar, split the beans, scrape out the seeds rareiuiiy, ana put mem wun xne sugar. Pound until the whole is reduced to a line powder. Keep in corked bottles. One teaepoouf ul of this will take the place of two 01 me exiraci. Or the beans may be split, cut into small pieces put into a iar.with six ounces of alcohol. Snake ifverv day for a week, tnen niter. Keep closely corked. The regular vanilla extract is rather more touulesome and f w housekeepers would make it well or economically, Dut either of the above recipes will bo found valuable. Michigan Farmer; Twf uty years ago the hog which filled the barrel quickest was the best hog to raise, rind ave the best returns to the breeder, tho feeder and the S acker. "We had the '"biff Log" on the rain. Every neighborhood had one, which the local press glorifiod a digger hogthan any other big ho. Th'U part of the bog bnsiness has, to r.o .111 Americanism, "played out." The iiet ck;re was to a hog of lighter weight light ctlal.artd a perfect tub of lard. Tbat hop has got to go with his illustrious predeot stwrs, and in his place most come tho "commercial hog;n good lor the feeder, becr.uso he c:ia be put ou the market early, and good ior the cureror butcher, because Le will furnish the grade of meat which is demanded by the public. Cotton has long since ceased to be the exclusive product of the negro. When the war ceased nine-tenths of it was raised bv tho colored race; to-day three-hfths come's from white farms. iHlalfoird Table FOR MEATS, FISH, SOUPS, GRAVIES. &o. auc.
