Spring Wheat Against Winter Wheat the Basis of Speculation andChanges. Com Steady and Closing a Shade Better Oats Active Within a Narrow Range Hog Products Unsettled, Weak and Lower. . MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. An Iixactlre Market Influenced by Anticipations of a liad Dank Statement. NEW YORK, June 29. Money on call was easy, with no loans, closing offered at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 453 per cent. Sterling exchange dull but steady at $l.&6a for sixty-day bills and $1.884 for demand. The total tales of stocks to-day were 07,031 shares, including the following: Atchison, 10.G40; Lake Shore, 3,375; Louisville & Nashville, 1,700; Missouri Pacific, lf.375; Northwestern. 1.710; Union Pacinc, 2,1)00; St. Paul, 11,000; Pleading, 5,20. The stock market to-day was fairly active, but the animation was almost entirely confined to the trusts, which again furnished more business than the regular list. They were also decidedly itrung throughout, and especially Lead and jugar, ana to a certain extent checked the defining tendency in the general list, causedprindpally by the hammering of the traders. Thcro M as a general expectation of a bad bank statement, and thin &erved to restrict buying and encouraged the bearish trailers to bring considerable pressure upon the list, so that first prices were from s to 3 per cent, below ljit evenine's closing figure, and further declines of a like amount were scored in the early trading under the lead of HL Paul fc Atchison. The unusual strength shown in Sugar and Lead trusts, however, acted as a wet blanket upon tho 'hears' andon very large transactions Lead rose from 3'.! to 31, and Sugar from USs to 117u In the first hour. The. regular list responded with a rally of small fractions, which, however, was sufficient to bring most of the list up above first prices. Lead gave way again after 1 1 o'clock, but Sugar steadily rose, until at tho close it had reached 1187s, a net gain of 3 per cent. Tho general list fell away again, but tbu bank statement proving letter than expected,and prices rallied again toward the close, which was fairly active and firm, at but slight changes from last evening's figures. There was little or no news from tho West, and the market was uninfluenced by anything outside of the board room. The final changes are Insignificant, and about equally divided between gains and losses. Lead shows a gain of lht per cent. Kailroad bonds were dull, the total sales beine only $380,000, and tho number of Issues traded In was unusually small. Tho market was weaker than at any time within the last few weeks, and most of the iniortant changes in quotations are declines. Morris & Essex first consols lost 33 at 144 Ciovernment bonds were dull and steady to firm. State bonds were neglected.

TRADING AT CHICAGO. The l'p and Down of the Market, with the Range lu Prices ot Leading Articles. CHICAGO, June 20. Trading was quite active In wheat, and tho feeling developed nervous and unsettled. At times Indications pointed strongly to the market going higher, and again it showed signs of weakness. Fluctuations were not lare. July advanced Nc, receded lc, and closed co lower than yesterday. August advauced ie and closed lower. December was the strongest on the list early, and advanced c, then became weak, declining l3, and closed vc lower than yesterday. Tho influences governing the market were of about the same tenor as those received the past few days, except that the advices from the Northwest represent the crop in a worse condition than heretofore. Speculative buxlnj Is based principally upon these reports.

Hot winds were again reported, and some see tlous favored with slight rains. The short interest turned back to the winter wheat, which they claim Is turning out well, with the exception, perhaps, of some localities. It is spring wheat against winter wheat, which causes the changing conditions of the market. News was received of damage to crops In southern Germany by recent heavy rains. Foreljrn market advices were more encouraging. Corn ruled moderately active, though at times the market was quite dull, fluctuations being within a narrow rantre, and trading chiefly of a local character. The feeling was rather easy early in the day, but aa the session advanced a better tone was apparent. The market openeda shade under the closing prices of yesterday, was easy for a time, due mainly to the line weather and to the receipts . being over the estimates. At the decline a good demand existed for the near futures, shippers purchasing fair quantities and the market advanced 3c, ruled steady and closed a shade better than yesterday. On oats a liberal business was transac ted within an exceedingly narrow rantre. Mess jork was moderately active early, but dullness Prevailed later. An unsettled feeling existed, and opening sales were at ftc decline. After a further recession of 2 io a etter tone deveioied. Buyers took hold quite liberally, and prices advanced 12 sc. but -mulde figure were not maintained at the close. In lard a dull, weak feeling existed. Prices declined ,053.07i2C and the market closed easy at about Inside figures. Short-rib sides were weaker and prices ranged lower, but a good deal of business was transacted within a narrow range. Ojening sales were aiout the same as yesterday's close, receded .Oo.O?1, and closed steady. Leading futures ranged as follows:

In prices there were no changes of Importance. Dry goods of all descriptions, with the strong tone to the wool market, rule firm, and indications favor higher prices on fall and winter goods. Grocers report a free distribution of sugars In progress, and prices rule very strong, while oofiees are easy at the break of Friday last. In other staple groceries there la nothing new to note. Provisions carry a firmer tone with an increase In sales in . a jobbiug way. The hide market still drags, so far as prices are concerned, yet there is more activity to the market than thirty da ys ago. In produce there is ft good deal of activity. Hens and chickens are firm ind in good demand. Receipts of eggs are more liberal, and prices are wavering somewhat, Receipts of butter are hardly as heavy as a week ago, and prices are somewhat firmer. Old potatoes are In light demand. New potatoes are plentiful and "prices are off. Cabbage is plentiful, and much of the stock is poor and is selling low. In small fruits receipts are liberal aud price are weak. Tomatoes are more plentiful and the market is breaking. Some very good ones sold to-day nt 40c for one-third bushel boxes. Watermelon are in good supply and selling slow. Iinous are in good demand, with prices firm. The supply of oranges is small and so is tho demand. Good Mcssiuas will bring but $1.50 per box. The floor market is firmer and more active.

In order to avoid at least partially the effect of thia a good mulch is applied. If tho work is -done Droperl yr and in good season; a considerable benelit. can be derived. One important item is to have the soil in good tilth: hoe or rake until it is in the proper condition, and then apply the mulch. Stirring the surface thoroughly is in itself a; good help in retaining moisture . After the mulch is applied it should not be disturbed until the plants have matured their crops or the fall rains have set in. Nearly all viues, such as melons, citrons, sqnash, pumpkin, tomato and cucumber, will be benetited by a good mulch applied after giving thorough cultivation, when the vines have secured a good growth. - Newly-set trees and plants of all kinds should be mulched well before hot. dry weather sets in, and it is ofteu possible by this means to maintain a good, healthy growth when otherwise the trees would bo considerably injured. This applies equallv . well to fruit as to ornamental trees. It will be best, however, with tho majority of trees not to allow the mulch to remain on too long. It is important that all kinds of trees should have plenty of time to mature the growth of new wood, and if the mulch is left on too long it will often keep up the growth of the trees so long that the wood will not mature before cold, freezing water sets in, and in consequence the tree is injured. So that in a majority of cases it will be best to re-; move the mulch from the trees as soou as the fall rains come, and this will usually give Huilicient time for the trees to mature all the new growth of wood. A variety of materials can be used for mulching. One of the best, when it can be had without too much inconvenience, is bagasse from the sorghum mill. When this can be had there are fow, if any, materials that excel it for this purpose. Old wheat straw is another good material. Wheat or rye 6traw is better than oat straw or old hay, although either can be used to good advantage. If old corn stalks are run through a cutting box they make a good mulch. Coal ashes aro good. Whatever the material used, it should be applied in good BCAson and in sufficient quantity to fully protect the soil from drying out. Clean Grain. N. J. 8., in Prairie Farmer. It is not always possible to clean grain as well as it should be with tho thresher. Many times it may be done, provided everything is all right the grain drvr the wind in the right direction, the machine in good repair, and properly managed. Hut it is often the case that some of these conditions will not be fullilled. 'and the consequence is that more or less of the grain will not be cleaned as it should be before sending to market. Good, clean, sound, plump gram always sells at tho highest prices, and in a majority of cases tho difference in the price that it is possible to secure will pay well for tho work of cleaning. As a rule, in marketing almost any kind of product, it will be found a good plan to tako pains to have it in such condition that it will not only sell readily, but at the best possible price. Of course, it will cost less to have it cleaned in threshing, yet as this is not always possible, the next best plan is to be prepared to clean whenever necesnary, rather than to send any grain to market not properly cleaned. lt is true the miller or warehouseman can clean, but it will usually cost him fully as much as the f armer.and in buying he intends, if possible, to pav a price that will enable him to realize a fair profit for the work; and in a majority of cases this profit the farmer can make in the better price he can secure for his products. It is when the price of products is low that all reasonable care should be taken to receive the best price, aud with small grain especially. One important item in doing this is tosend to market clean. If the thresher cleans it properly, it will be best; but if not, the fanmng-mill 6hould be used, and care taken to remove all the trash and other seeds. Much that is taken out can bo used for feed. At least it is better to leave upon the farm than to send to market with the grain, lowering the price of all in order to dispose of a small quantity of trash. m m Sense of Smell In the Dorse. Horse and Stable. The horse will leave musty hay untouched in his bin. no matter however hungry. He will not drink of water objectionable to his questioning sniffs or from a bucket which some other odor makes offensive, however thirsty. His intelligent nostril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fairest of hands. A mare is never satisfied by either sight or whinny that her colt is really her own until she has certified the fact by means of her nose. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about apasture without striking the surrounding fesee. The sense of smell informs them of its proximity. Others will, when loosened from the stable, ' go directly to the gate or. bars opening to thoir accustomed feedings grounds; and when desiring to return, alter hours of careless wandering, will distinguish the one. outlet' and patiently await its opening. The odor of that particular part of . the fence is their guide to it. The horse in browsing, or while gathering herbage with its lip, is guided in its choice of proper food entirely, by its nostrils. Blind horses do not make mistakes iu their diet. In tho temple of Olympus a bronze horse was exhibited, at the sight of which six real horses experienced the most violent -emotions. .Llian judiciously observes that the most perfect art could not imitate nature sufficiently well to produce so perfect. an illusion. Like Pliny and Pausahias, he consequently affirms that 'in casting the statue a magician had thrown hippomanes. upon it," which, by tho odor of the plant, deceived the horses, and therein we have the secret of the miracle. . The scent alone of a buffalo robe will cause many horses to evince lively terror, and the iloatiug scent of a railroad train will frighten some long after tiio locomotive is out of sight and hearing. . " . Training Colts. StockmftQ. Tho most renumcratiye branch of the horse-dealer's business is that comprised within tho buying and training of young, green horses of good breeding and high promise. He buys this sort of the farmer at. say, $125, or $140, and after two to three months' feeding, grooming and training, rinds a ready buyer at two or three times the price named. This is an instance of the farmer growing the material out of which an outside professional makes a round sum, while it is safe to say that the farmer, after having taken all the risks during a period of four or five years, sells property of high value and great promise lor barely enough to pay for hay, grain aud pasturage consumed. Suppose the buyer is shown that a youug horse of high qualities of physique has had such fitting and education as to make him tit to bo at once otlered iu a city market, and that, too, under guarantee, it requires 110 argument to show that the breeder and trainer is in a most excellent position to dictate terms of 6alc No farmer 6hould permit a raw colt to leave his premises. This is as unwise us to send a half-fatted steer to market, knowing that this would necessitate the feeding and fitting in other hands, and that the liist buyer would discount accordingly. An Exception to the? Rule. . Philadelphia Press. . Colonel Moucy. of Tennessee, who has been appointed minister to. Paraguay, refuses to discuss the matter. Hero is one case, nt least, whero Money doesn't talk.
