Prime mercantile paper -iU 6 per cent. fcterlinc exchange dull, but firm at $4.8C for sixty-day bills and $4.S934 for demand. The total Bale of stocks to-day -were 215,060 shares.

The stock market was dull, feTcrlshand generally weak in tlie forenoon to-day, but outside of Atchison the decline was Insignificant, and in the afternoon there was more activity, accompanied by derided strength in all departments, and the result of the day's trading U to leave almost everything on the list materially higher than last evening. There was no character to the market at the opening and prices were about at last night's flgurcs, but the closing of the Atchison books to-day, with the idea that there would not be a flood or stock offered which had been bought for the purpose of controlling tho election, induced a raid upon the stock by the bearish element, and while the rest of the list stood still, Atchison was driven down over 2 rercent. in the space of an hour. Borne sympathy with the decline In Atchion was shown in Burlington, New England and Missouri Pacific, but the movement in the rest of the list were insignificant, though displaying a declining tendency. Humors of business troubles in Boston were circulated to asoi.t in the downward movement,- but they seemed to have little effect outside of the shares mentioned. : ' The market was dull until the afternoon, when . there was a marked change in the temper of the speculation, and St. Paul, which had been held perfectly motionless throughout the forenoon, began to show the effects of the persistent purchases, which arc attributed to inside account, and on an increased business it moved upward, and the weak stocks of the morning followed, even Atchison again touching tho opening price before the clofce. In St. Paul there were rumors afloat that Drexel, Morgan & Co.. and possibly the Vanderbilts, would bo represented in the directory, while the increased earnings veto very favorably commented upon. Some of tho other stocks. however, displayed marked strength, and Denver, Texas fc Ft. Worth, Lake Erie fc Western preferred, Chicago Gas and Colorado Central, with all the leading active smartly. The upward movetoward delivery hour, and reaction in the last hour, in again lost about a point, close there was another market finally- closed 6hares, moved up ment culminated there w&a somo which Atchison but before the rally, and the quiet but firm to strong, generally at about the beat prices of the day. Atchison is down h and San Francisco preferred I1, but all the other active shares are higher. Colorado Coal rose 1 st, Paul preferred, 18; Denver, Texas & Ft. Worth, Chicago Gas, Lake Erie fc Western preferred, and St. Paul, 1 per cent, each, and others frnctional amounts. There was a larger business than usual of late In railroad bonds, the sales of all iue aggregating $1,845,000, out of which the Heading fours furnished $178,000, and the Fort Worth & Denver firsts, $132,000. The market was generally strong from beginning to end, and almost everything traded In shows a gain. Among the conspicuous advances, Louisville fc Nashville fives rose 34, to 1032, and Kansas & Texas sixes. 2, to 552; Ohio.

Market advices were again nnfavorable to holders, and the good buying at the early decline was credited chiefly to "shorts. On the subse quent advance the selling was quite heavy, and me ciose was strong on goo a nuying.

Trade Moderately Active, with Fluctuations of but Little Importance. Indianapolis, April 9. ; In most departments, to-day, a fair volume of trade was In progress, and prices ruled steady, fluctuations being but trilling. Provisions are a little off, but the reduction in prices of Monday covers the break. Considerable is doing in a jobbing way. Packers are killing light all over the country. As matters now stand hogs can be slaughtered at any time of the year, and when prices are too high packers wait until they drop to meet their views. The flour market is slightly improved in tone, but the room for Improvement Is so great that a shade firmer prices has but little effect Tho hide market shows a little more activity, but prices drag as for months past. The produce markets are in stronger position, poultry, eggs and butter all being firm at the advance of Monday. Oranges and lemons, with an increasing demand, are firmer in price. Green apples sell slow, being out of season, and those offered are dry and tasteless. Canned goods are selling well in a wholesale and retail way, the low prices creat ing a oetier aemana. Dry goods men are not doing as much as last month. Spring weather is what they are now waiting for. yet the volume of business Is now in excess of that of the corresiionding period last year. Grocers had a fair day' trade, with prices ruling firm all along the line. Both sugars and coffees again have an advr.rcing tendency. Other markets are featureless. GRAIN. Indianapolis Market Report.

Every person who has had occasion to be a hotel guest, no matter where, is familiar with the much-worn cake of soap that lies in wait for him on the washstano, sometimes in a not over-clean soap dish. and frequently glued to the cover of the stand, according to the whim of the chambermaid. You haven't the slightest idea in the world who used the soap last, and very few persons ever give the matter a thought, Jt would be an easygoing individual, and one singularly indifferent to considerations of cleanliness who would for a moment think of using a towel that might have been nsed bv the previous occupant of a room at a hotel, hut the instances are rare where tho same guest will hesitate to use the soap he finds in the room, although it may scarcely be dry from the ablution of the last person who used it. The traveling man does not stop to think that the hoteisoap is unexcelled as a distributor of cutaneous diseases, and frequently those that are difficult of eradication. The mau who stops habitually at hotels here, there and everywhere about the country, and does not carry and use his own soap, deliberately courts the contracting of what may be a most distressing and offensive malady." Slodes of Propagation. A horticulturist gives the following schedule of the modes of propagation adapted to different fruit-bearing trees and shrubs: Apple and pear, budding and grafting. Cherry, mostly by budding, but succeeds well by grafting if done very early. Pcacn and nectarine, by budding only at the North; succeeds by grafting at the South. t Plum, by grafting and also by budding, if the stocks are thrifty. Apricots, mostly by budding, sometimes by grafting. Chestnut, by early grafting. "Walnut, by early grafting and by annular budding. Quince, by cuttings and grafting. 1 ilbert, by suckers and layers. The finer sorts may be grafted on the more common. which reduces the size of the bush ana makes them more prolific. Grape, by layers and cuttings; and, in rare instances, grafting is advantageously employed for new and rare sorts on old or wild stocks, producing rapid growth and early bearing. Raspberry and blackberry, by suckers, cuttings of roots and layers. The Alaskan Alps. William WUliams, In April Scribner. Though by no means the highest mountain in tho world by actual measurement, yet Mount St. Elias probably appears as large as, if not larger than any other, for it is plainly visible from the sea throughout its entire height of 18,000 or 19.000 feet, though situated froin forty to fifty miles inland. The Swiss mountains, which are all under 16,000 feet, are generally seen from elevations varying from 4.000 to 8,000 feet, while in the Himalayas the plane of observation is considerably higher. It is certainly true that, with the possible exception of Mount Wrangle, about which little is known, Monnt St. Elias presents the greatest snow climb of all the mountains in the world, on account of the low point to which the line of perpetual snow descends in these northerly regions. Besides St. Elias such mountains as Cook and Vancouver sink into insignificance. Farm Notes. When setting the hens sprinkle flour of sulphur in tho nests to keep down the lice. Try pinching back a hill or so of lima beans when the plants are a foot or so high. An application of fine air-slacked lime and wood ashes with 100 pounds of plaster per acre is a special fertilizer for clover. The hills for lima beans may be prepared. Make them rich, and leave them until the time arrives for putting in the seed. Then work the hills over again and stick tho seeds in eyes downward. When the pores of the skin become clogged the milk takes a cowy odor and taste. This is because the impurities of the blood are misdirected into the milk. The farmer who would curry his .horse every day will seldom touch his cows with a brush. This is partiality of the worst kind, besides being poor economy. The custom of roughly preparing the land for corn is being discarded. Experiments show that it pays to reduce the soil for corn to as fine condition as for garden crops. The land cannot be worked over too thoroughly before putting in the 6eed. If the soil is well prepared the work of after-cultivation will be easier, and the corn will better endure drought. An Illinois breeder tells how he raises calves without milk, as follows: At three days old I take them away from the cow, tie them up in a box-stall well bedded, and give them three quarts newly-drawn milk with one tablespoonful of oil-cake meal boiled in one pint of water. At two weeks double the meal and water, add one-half pint shortsor corn-meal. At three weeks gradually double the oil-meal until you have three-fourths pint meal, one pint shorts, boiled in one gallon water, but need no milk. Be careful to have temperature lukewarm. All changes should be gradual. At one month old calves will lick some bran. Fed this way they will all be gentle and a pleasure to handle, and will come at your call. STATE OF INDIANA.
