Slight Decline in Price of Wheat Under Weather Kcports from theXorthwest Corn Quiet and Steady Oats More Active, but June and July LowerHog Products Stronger, with Slight Advances Throughout. MONEY, STOCKS AND HONDS. A Feverish 3Iarket That Closed Dull, with Very Small Change in Prices. NEW YORK, May 7.-Money on call was easy at 23 per cent., cloning offered at 2 "aPrune mercantile paper, 3hoh per cent. Sterling exchange dull but steady at $4.87 for ixty-4ay hill, and 4.88 for demand. - The total sales of stocks to-day -were 218,256 pbares,lncludingthe following: Atchison, 45,6 10; Delaware, Lackawanna fe Western, 3,900; Lake Hiore. 3,850; Louisville fc Nashville, 3,477; MisBonri Taolfic,, 7,000; Northern 7,431; Northern Pacific preferred, 10,456; Oregon Transcontinental, 11,600; Reading, 9,000; Richmond & West Point, 6.C25; SU rani, 20,140 Texas Pacific, 0.240; Jmon Pacific, 10.GG0; Western Union, G.972. The stock market to-day -was more active, and especially in the forenoon, when there was a strong tone displayed, but it later yielded to the tttacksof the "bears" and dried into dullness, finally closing at but slight changes for the day. The London figures came lower this morning, nnd partly in sympathy with that center and partly because of the tendency to realize araong the traders upon the reduction in the price of pigiron, which is. in a measure, regarded as the barometer of the industrial world, the opening here was feverish and irregular, with no very marked changes from last evening's prices, the widest differences being only per cent. There was a bullish sentiment upon Atchison and the Boston operators were prominent in that stock, as well as New England, which were specially active in the first hour, and both ad Tanced materially from last evening's figures. The Northern Paciiio group were also remarkably strong, and Oregon Transcontinental was bought on talk of a contest at the next election In June. Missouri Paciiio was strong, partly In sympathy with Atchison and partly on the talk of an arrangement made with Mr. Gould by a party who proiosed to make a "bull" campaign with the stock. Among the low-priced shares there were some sharp movements, and Denver, Texas fc Ft. Worth certificates rose over 1 per cent., and Kingston fc Pembroke, which has been neg. lected for a long time, sold up over 2 per cent. The higher-priced shares, such as Manitoba and Milwaukee, Lake Shorn fc Western, also showed! marked strength for a time. The demand for stocks, however, underwent a marked decrease after 12 o'clock, and although St. Paul became active and moved up fractionally, tho bears took hold of Atchison and it retired 2 per cent, below its hat price of the morning. The rest of the list followed, and the decline in a few of the specialties helped along the general weakness. Philadelphia Gas was most conspicuous, with a drop of 4 per cent., and Pullman yielded 1. There were reports of much needed rains in tho Northwest, but these had no effect upon the market, and the scarcity of Reading for delivery with the premium of l-64th for use was powerless to rally that stock or the rest of the market. The general list, however, moved over an extremely narrow range, and there seemed to be no marked tendency in either direction, the fluctuations being insignificant and slight. The heaviness was maintained until tho close, . which was quiet at close to opening figures. Among the active shares the only Important changes were losses of 1 per cent, in Atchison and Canada Paoihc. Railroad bonds Were again active, the sales of all issues aggregating $2,167,000, of which $212,000 was In West Shore fours, $150,000 in Texas Pacific ard $106,000 In Atlantic fe Pacific fours. Tfce market was stronger than on any day since tho holidays, and almost everything traded in is materially higher this evening. The principal gams were Denver & South Park certificates, 5 to 94; Flint fc Marquette sixes, 'A to 122, and Lake Lrie & Western firsts, 2 to 113. Government bonds have been dull and steady.

Only a light business was transacted in wheat to-day, and speculation, as on yesterday, was based almost wholly upon the w eather, especially In the Northwest The opening was about c lower than yesterday's closing, and steadily declined 0 more under rather free speculative offerings, some lines of long" wheat coming on the market Operators were Influenced by reports of rain from the North-arcs t, but later advices reported tho rain not heavy, and that it was clearing up, the wind hot and the ground drying up fast.

Corn ru'e I quiet and Inactive most of the session, transactions being limited to local traders and fluctuations wereconfined within 4C range. The prevailing feeling was one of steadiness and rrices showed but little change from yesterday. Oats were fairly active but weaker and lower. Ojrrators loaded up freely yesterday and wanted to s?U to-day. Outside orders were in light supply and an increase in offering caused a weak feeling and a decline of "o on June and July, whtch were tho chief deliveries traded in.

Sample sellers were holding the market very steady, and refused to make concessions ou the early break in the speculative markets. Buyers were picking up wheat allttlemore freely in the morning, and the volume of orders from outside mills shows an increased demand. There was a good request for choice No. 1 Northern, and for the samples offered sellers obtained nearly a No. 1 price. The best samples of No. 2 Northern were eagerly picked up at stiff prices. The demand was satislied at the close and the strength disappeared from the-market, though some buyers failed to secure nil the special lots desired.

There was better demand for domestic wol than last noticed, and no improvement of consequence is expected until there is a better asssortment of wool to select from.

Philadelphia Record. More protection is given to the weed crop (and also the insects) than may be supposed owing to improper seasons of preparing the land tor crops. As the wheat crop will be ready to cut in six or eight weeks, the point nex t to be considered is how to treat the land after the crop is oil. The amount of labor to be bestowed on the Held next year, and the value of tho crop to be taken off, is largely influenced by this year's treatment of the field. If the farmer could prevent weeds from springing up his item of labor would bo greatly reduced, and it is a matter that not only deserves consideration but must be considered in time to put some method in practice by which weeds can be partially prevented and less labor entailed. The regulation of the weed crop should be under the control of the farmer, but to do this some system is required, and the weeds must not be overlooked in order to give the regular crops all the labor. It is not customary to plow in tho summer, just at the busiest time of harvesting, but when the farmer is busy then is tho weeds' opportunity. They take possession and grow. They will not grow as well when the seed is uncovered as when covered, and the opportunity of the the farmer should be to induce them to grow. Instead of leaving the stubble land idle for the weeds to grow on, with the uncovered seeds remaining to be plowed under for a spring crop, the stubble land should be plowed as soon as the wheat crop is off. It should not be turned under deeper than one or two inches, if possible, and if tho soil is light the cultivator may serve to break it up. The seeds of the weeds will then germinate (as also the seeds of any grain that may bo on the ground), and when the plants are well up the land should be plowed a little deeper, thus turning under the weeds as green manure and giving any remaining seeds an opportunity to sprout and come up. The land should then be left until late in the fall unless the weeds are nearly matured, as they should never be allowed to seed. Late fall plowing turns up the insects that have buried themselves, and exposes them to the cold. Should any more weed seeds remain, from being deep in the soil, they will also be brought to tbe surface, sprout in the spring, and be caught by tho spring plowing. Farmers may complain that this method entails three or four plowing, and costs too much. Consideration will convince them that there will, however, be less work to do lighting weeds the next season, and that the succeeding year will find fewer plowings necessary and the nurcberof weeds greatly reduced. With the method practiced of leaving the stnbblo land unplowed until fall or spring, the weeds and insects are protected, more labor required, and tho following crops robbed of moisture and plant food. Hatching: Chickens. Stephen Beale, in the Farmer. - Nothing is more annoying than to have several hatches of eggs suddenly spoiled by the hens deserting their nests, or, when they are conlined in hatching-boxes, to iind them standing ou the nests and the eggs stone cold, which is iust the same thing In this way several weeks' work may ue lost, unless the matter can be dealt with at once, when probably most of the eges may be saved. When broody hens are plentiful it is always wise to have two or three in reserve, either sitting on chalk or common eggs, so that, in case of mishap, they may bo available; but early in the year, when sufficient can with difficulty be got. it is not human nature to keep any in reserve. However, this may be overcome by putting the eg3 agaiuBtuottles tilled with hot wrater, and covered with flannel, or in an incubator, if there is one at hand. Wo have known a small tin tank made for the purpose, kept ready in case of need, and eggs preserved in it for a day or two, hatchiugout all right at the proper time. The first thing to do when a nest is fonnd deserted is to get a pail of water, heated up to 103 degrees, into which put the eggs and wash them thoroughly, letting them remain in it a few minutes, and this will warm them and reiuvigorato tho embryo. If another hen is available, tho nest should bo remade, and tho eggs put under her, in which case there will be little or no harm done, the only effect being to delay tho time of hatching a few hours. We have known eggs that have been left a whole day before being discovered. and then found stone-cold, hatch all right; but, of course, much depends upon the strength of tho embryo, and thus there would be less chance of saving highly bred eggs than thoso laid by very hardy stock. The chief dillicnlty is when there is no other hen at hand to whom the ezgs can be given, and then it is that the plan wo have already suggested can bo adopted, it will be better to keep the eggs in this way for two or threo days, taking care that the heat is not too great (not more than 103 or 104 degrees), than to pnt them under a hen about which there is any uncertainty. On large farms it may bo worth while investiug in an incubator, even if hens are used regular in preference. ' Every weed that sprouts is one seed less to come up. If the weed is cut down it is destroyed, lly constantly cutting them down tho most obstinate field of weeds can be dcstro3-ed. it requires work and time to do so, but there will be less work to perform after tho field is cleaned of tho weeds another season.
