CONDITION OF THE MARKETS Wheat Higher on Adverse Foreign and Favorable Home Weather Fteports. The Trading in Corn and Oats Featureless and o Chancre in Prices Pork, Lard and Short Iiibs Lower on Small Dealing. MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. A Quiet Market, rending Farther Development in the Itallroad Situation. NEW YORK, July 6. Money on call was easy, with no loans; closing offered at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4SC12 per cent. Sterling exchange active and weak, with actual business at 8-1.86 lor 6ixty-day bills, and 4.872 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 95,000 shares, including the following: Atchison, 0.C20; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 2,600; Krie, S.8.V); Lako Shore, 11,100; Louisville k Xashville, 1.400; Missouri Pacific,' 1,0I0; Northwestern, 9,000; Northern Pacific preferred, 2,500; Reading. 8,400; Kichmond &, West Point. 1,000; St.' Paul. 1G.730. Tiie's tock market was very quiet to-day, and. the .trusts retired further from the coinmaudiug position they so lately occupied in tho dealings, while in railroad stocks there -was nothing doing outside of the grangers, Lake Shore. New Kngland and Reading. The market opened very tame, but there was an improved feeling in the room and iirst prices were again generally from to 2 per cent, higher than last evening's figures, with Lake Shoro leading in the advance. There wan a great disinclination to operate, however, pending further develonments in tho railroad situation, and even the traders were doing little in the market. The brokers for the larger "bears," however, continued to sell freely and the result was a weak and declining market from the opening, though the movements lacked vim, and,-except in one or two stocks, small fractions marked the extent of the fluctuations during the session. There was pome speculation as to the position of the Chicago party npon the market, but tho general opinion was that it had been lately changed. St. Paul and Lake Shore occupied the most prominent position in the market, to-day, and in both the extreme fluctuation was 1 per cent, but both recovered slightly from the lowest price, and closed with a fractional loss. Atchison, New Kngland and Keading wero also prominent for animation, but their movements were entirely insignificant. Auioug the trusts Sugar opened up fractionally, and afterward advanced slightly, but later lost all of the im5rovement and something in addition, 'here was marked strength, however, in distillers' Trust, and it rose to 43-. The rest of the market was absolutely devoid of feature, and tho market finally closed dull and heavy to weak at about the lowest prices of the season. There were no important changes except the advanco of 12 percent, in Distillers' Trust. Railroad bonds were stagnant to-day, and the sales of all-issues aggregated only $309,000, with no animation of any sort. Tho tone of the dealings was rather steady to firm, but the changes in quotations were of the smallest fractions. Minneapolis & St. Louis firsts lost 5, at 05. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been neglected. Closing quotations were: Fournerct. re...lC8a;Laro Erie A West.

TKADINO AT CHICAGO. Tlie Up and Downs of the Market, with tho Kange In Priees of Leading Article. . , CHICAGO, July 6. Tho session of the Board of Trade to-day was dnll from tho opening to the close. The foreign news concerning wheat was rather mixed, and tho domestic news was almost uniformly bullish. One member had a cable from St. Fetersburg saying that the drought in north Knssia continued, and that reports from south Russia were also unfavorable. Another had estimates that the wheat yield of Europe, including the United Kingdom, would be 100,000.000 bushels larger than last year, and at least three weeks earlier. Faris notations were higher; Liverpool quotations firm. The weather was dry and hot. both in the winter and spring-wheat districts, and there was therefore a bearish intlnence in one direction and a bnllish influence in tho other. Minneapolis millers were reported as buying new No. 2 red winter wheat in St. Louis for milling. Northwestern traders were also buying in the speculative markets here. An operator started a bulge in price early this morning by picking lipa. few small lots of July. This future opened at 82 and sold up to 83c, and closed at 827,c. December opened at TO'c, and after selling at TOc, bulged to bOlHC. At tho advance Hutchinson was selling December freelj, and it reacted to 80c. The corn pit was almost deserted all the morning. Trading was light and featureless. September, the active future, opened at 353 3.)7e,c, aud sold at S534'S578C and closed at tho latter figure. Oats wero dull and an easy feeling prevailed. Receiving houses sold September moderately at 2l8&22l2c; closed at 2212C. Not, over 8.000 barrels of pork wsre traded on the Exchange to-uay. Nevertheless there was a 10c skip in prices. Lard and ribs were much more active, and both were weaker. The trade in these, however, was of small proportions. O tie rings, while light, were more than the trade could absorb. Tho little speculative interest developed was centered in September, which sold from Sll.071 early down to $11.55 forpoTk; from J30c down to C422C for lard, aud from 5.09jc down to 5.S5c for short ribs. Lard and short ribs for the same delivery closed at inside prices, and pork at $11.57 Hi- Other months were quiet. Tho leading futures ranged as follows: Options,

IN DLVNAPO LI S MARKETS. A Summer Quietness Brooding Over the Local Markets, with Few Fluctuations In Values. Indianapolis, July G. As Is usual in early July, trade is quiet, but it is believed that next week more life 'will appear, and that the present month will, in its volume of business, show an improvement over that of the corresponding manth of 1883. In prices to-day there wero no imnortant changes. Indications are for

weaker prices in the produce markets next week, and doubtless poultry and eggs will be lower. Old potatoes are off the markoti and new ones aro verv plentiful and selling cheaper than is usual in July. (Jreen ap- ? les are becoming quite plentiful, some of he stock being of inferior qnality and selling low. . ISmall fruits are in abundant supply and selling at low prices. Oranges are in light supply and firm, but few, however, aro wanted. Lemons are less abundant and lirmer. The bide market is dnll, and the same remark is true concerning tho seed market. Staple groceries are steady all alontr the line. Sugars seem to have reached the highest notch, but with a large distribution a break is not probable in the immediate future. Other markets are featureless. GRAIN. The Indianapolis Market Report shows the receipts of wheat to-day to have been 1,200 bushels.

It has long beon held in the highest esteem, and by Its standard as a mutton sheep are weighed tho merits in this direction of every new aspirant to public favor. A near approach to the Southdown iu the quality of mutton is considered high praise in any other breed of sheep. Some writers have suggested that this unsurpassed excellence of tho Southdown for mutton has been reached at the sacrifice of the wool-producing capacity. However, we rind tho wellbred feoutbdown of to-day not uufrequently producing fleeces from ten to thirteen pounds; and good-sized flocks are known to average fleeces of eight to nine pounds each. The wool, besides being abundant, is of medium fineness, and finds a ready sale. The fiber of the Southdown wool is the strongest wool-liber known, and in certain other desirable qualities the Southdowns have no superiors; as, for example, their hardiness, their docility, their early maturity, and in the fact of the ewes being prolific and careful mothers. Not tho least among the causes of their great popularity is the commanding beauty of their form; no other breed of sheen can approach them in this regard. I do not claim that tho Southdown is suited to every locality within the bounds of civilization; but they will adapt themselves to a wider range and greater diversity of soil and climato than any other breed of sheen. There is a growing demand for good mutton in this country. The leading American breeders use Southdown blood on their tlocks to a greater extent than ever before, and doubtless tho taste for good mutton will greatly increase as our markets becomo better supplied with mutton of the highest quality. In parts of the country where an open range can no longer be had for sheep, tho Southdowns are rapidly growing in favor, and. with proper care and skill, a well-selected llock of Southdowns cau bo made to .pay 100 per cent, of their cost. Every year they will clear your fields of weeds and rubbish, and will enrich your soil. But they will not thrive upon this alone. To relish this rough herbage, the sheep must be fed liberally upon supplementary food, such as bran-meal, or a pint a day per head of oil-cake meal and bran, or other grain food. With this alloy the sheep's loot will take on a golden tinge, and will edtfo with gold the farmer's pocket, by making his poor lands rich, giving him at the same time a lamb or two ana a fleece of wool every 3'ear. Cucumber Pickles. Good Housekeeping. Select four dozen cucumbers about three or four inches long, and of small, neat figures. Put them in a sleazy cotton bag; tie the bag closo down to tho cucumbers, and sink it in a jar or cask of brine strong enough to float an egg; and put a clean rock on tho bag to keep the cucumbers submerged in the brine. This device of imprisoning pickles in a bag before pntting them in brine is one that eaves no end of trouble, and pickles, too, since no truant can escape and come floating atop to soften and spoil, as so jcany used to do when crossed sticks and a small plate were their jailers. After tho cucumbers have been in brine six weeks, put them to soak in fresh water for twenty-four hours, then take them out, wipe each one with a coarse towel, and put them in a porcelain-lined kettle, and cover them with cold vinegar. Set the kettle on the stove and let them boil until you can pierce them easily with a straw. Take them out of the kettle and put them in a stone jar. Throw away the vinegar in which they were boiled, and put the same quantity i. e enough to cover the pickles of best cider vinegar in the kettle and put it back on tho fire - to boil. Into this vinegar stir one pound of sugar, one tablespoonful of ground black pepper, four large onions. sliced thin, half an ounce each of mace, allspice, cloves and race ginger, broken up iu a mortar. When the vinegar comes to a boil stir up two tablespoonfuls of ground mustard and one of turmeric with enough cold vinegar to make a paste that will pour; stir this into the boiling vinegar and at once remove it from the fire and pour it over the cucumbers, over which you' have already sprinkled one ounce of white mustard seed. See that the pickles are . well covered with the vinegar; if they are not, add cold vinegar enough to cover them. Tie them np closely and 6et the jar back of the stove for two days. Thepicklo is then ready to be eaten, and if you have a taste educated to good things, or a natural affinity for tbe best, why, then, you will be ready to eat them. Care of Lampt, . ; Country Gentleman. Never cut a lampwick after you once get it straight. They sometimes need to be trimmed when new. To do this, turn it down until the shortest end is even with the burner, and then with a very sharp scissors cut it straight across. Every day simply wipe oti'tbe charred wick, and the flame will keep straight and even. To do this use a bit of soft paper, or an old soft cloth. If lamps aro kept properly trimmed, the chimneys need not be washed oftener than once a week, although they may be polished inside and out every day with soft paper. When you do wash tbem. put ammonia or washing soda in the water, have the suds hot. and rinse in clean, hot water. Let them stand until dry, and then polish with tissuenaper. Never fill a lamp fuller than to within an inch of the cap, as. if there is no room for air, there is danger ol an explosion. Cucumber Catsup. Good Housekeeping. Select fresh, tender cucumbers; peel and grate them in a largo bowl until you have enough to make two quarts of pulp after tho iuice is all pressed out of it. With a wooden spoon gently press tho pulp until the juice stops running. Season this pulp with half a pint of grated white onions, half a pint of horseradish grated, half an ounce of ground black pepper, six level tablespoonfuls of white sugar; and as much salt as you like. Mix the pulp and seasoning thoroughly together. Have ready three glass jars that will bold one quart each; divide the seasoned pulp into thirds, and put one-third part into each jar, and fill the jar to the top with the best cider viuegar (cold), screw the tops tightly on the iars and set them away iu a cool place. When this catsup is opened iu the winter it will smell as if it was midsummer and you had just sliced cool, crisp cucumbers fresh from tho green-leaved vines. -
