Mora Flourishing Crop KeportsGivetho "Bears" the Best of It at Chicago. Somewhat Less Speculative Business than UsualLittle Attention Paid to Corn S5ag in Trices of Hog Products. MOXKV, STOCKS AND BONDS. A Doll Day on the New York Exchange New Tanderbllts Strong and Radlng Weak. NEW YORK, July iS.-Money on call was easy at 2-225 per cent., the last loan being made at 2 closing otlered at 2 Prime mercantile paper, 412'2GL per cent. Sterling exchange dull and steady at $4.8534 for sixty-day hills, aud fcLSTLj, for demand. Total sales of stocks, to-day were 111,243 shares, including the following: Atchison, 6,000; Heading:, C9.900; St. Paul, 9,000. The dullness of the stock market was its principal featuro to-day, and, outside of less than half a dozen stocks,' the movements were confined to smallest fractious, and the business done was entirely insignificant. The indisposition to operate was very marked on both sides, and, as the traders.are waiting for some decided movement by the acknowledged leaders of speculation, there was almost nothing done in the general list. The Chesapeake & Ohio stocks and the C, C, C. & St. L. stocks were the strong features, and Reading the weak one, though toward the close Chicago Gas developed marked weakness. The opening prices were generally slightly higher than Saturday's closing prices, but the market was tame, and no character was shown by the dealings and no tendency in either direction could be perceived. The Chesapeake & Ohio stocks became conspicuous in the dnllness for activity and strength, but tho attack upon Beading was soon begun and the stock began to sag on a comparatively largo business. In the Chesapeake & Ohio the highest prices were generally reached before noon, after which they were maintained at the level of the best figures. The pressure upon Beading was maintained, and it continued to yield slowly until toward delivery hour, when their was a slight rally. The rest of the list was intensely dull throughout and no feature of any kind relieved the monotony, the market finally closing dull but steady to firm at about the opening figures. The tinal changes are insignificant except that Chesapeake & Ohio firsts preferred rose 2; second preferred, 12,. while Chicago Gas lost H. The Reading loss was only a4. The transactions in railroad bonds were on the same limited scale, the sales of all issues reaching only 5707,000, with nospecial feature ot any kind.

There was a soft and lower opening to. tho wheat market to-day, and inside of an hour prices sagged LjC more. Local influences and pretty much all of tho news favored tho bears." Early cables were weak, and the weather in England was reported fine. Bather free offerings of December, supposed to be for foreign account (one operator sold 100,000 bushels), helped to depress the market, and the weaker feeling was intensified by the bearish Beerbohm cables. The Chicago report of the visiblo supply showed 00,000 bushels decrease, and although a great deal more than that was figured on at the close of last week by the trado generally, the posting did not perceptibly infiuence values, as the effect had already been discounted. The movement of wheat out of first hands is rapidly increasing. Outside domestic markets were all slightly lower, in sympathy with the weakness here. News from tbe Northwest was generally favorable, and the feeling seems to be growing among traders that the crop as a whole is ali right." Weather in the Southwest was moist. Three steamboatloads were taken at Baltimore for Autworp direct. New York reported seven loads and 100.000 bushels or over were "worked" here. Tho volume of speculative business transacted was under the average, and at times trading dragged, tho close being tame at a net decline for the day in tho active futures of 34c. July closed -jo off. But very little interest was manifest in corn, there being no conspicuous trading one way or the other, transactions being confined mainly to local dealers. The trading was a tritie easier, though prices showed but little change compared with Saturdn, and were limited to lajf "4c range. Oats were steadier, but tho volume of trading was light, and mainly of a local character. Quite an active trade was reported in the market for mess pork and the feeling was unsettled and weak. Opening sales were made at5S7c decline, but the filling of a few orders caused a rally again. Later, however, prices declined 15-2 20c. Near the close prices rallied 7L'oioc. and the market closed quiet. A dull and unsettled feeling prevailed in the lard market. On the whole ran go prices receded .0ofi.07he, and the market closed quiet at medium figures. Considerable interest was manifested in the market for short-rib sides, but the fesling was easy daring the greater portion of the day.

Prices declined .ft.07c, and tho market closed quiet at inside figures. The leading

The receipts lor the past two dajs were 150 car-loads, and b9 wore snipped out.

The Week Opens with Weather Conditions Against Trade Prospect. Indianapolis, July 29. The week opens with unfavorable conditions prevailing. The rainy weather is keeping country merchants at home and at the same time interfering with the marketing of the crops. Dealers, however, are hopeful, and prices are kept steady. There was no change in the dry goods trade, though business was dat. Groceries were strong but quiet. Produce was virtually without change. There were liberal receipts of fruits and vegetables, especially of tomatoes, which are decidedly cheaper. The wool market here is quiet, a condition which seems to prevail generally. T. C. O'Brien's circular says of tho conditions in Boston that there is no lack of inquiry from manufacturers, but they do not go much beyond inquiry. They look the market well over, ask questions, buy to meet absolute wants, and withdraw to await a decline or the exhaustion of their stocks. Of coffees, the New York Commercial Bulletin says, despite tho volume of talk on the street, there is very little in the way of positive healthy action, and the position ot the trade is becoming irregular and unsatisfactory. The same paper says there is some irregularity in tho market for raw sugars. Iutiuenceslocal to New York are opposed to the assumption of a firmer tone in refined, although statistics show a shortage of 350.000 tons GRAIN. In sympathy with other markets, wheat was weaker to-day. There Is not much, if any, inquiry for any but dry wheat In good condition, and such stuff finds ready sale. Damp wheat, which forms the bulk of the receipts, is not wanted. The receipts to-day were seventy-live cars, a very heavy percentage of which graded rejected or below. The receipts of corn were fifteen cars. There la a good demand from manufacturers, especially for No. 2 mixed. Oats are without change. We quote: Wheat New.

In the Orient, where the writer of this article has lived for a number of years, the use" of lard for culinary purposes is not known. The hog, as an article of food, is forbidden by the Mohammedan's religion as well as by that of tho Jewish, and it is only hero and there, among some Christian communities, where hog meat and lard are sometimes used. The Europeans and Americans who live in Syria and Palestine import their hams, very seldom a keg of lard, from some European port. Olivo oil, the fat of tho 6heep's tail and melted butter are used indiscriminately where lard is used with us. Olive oil is worth from 10 to 15 cents a qnart, and when fresh, h is an agreeable odor and sweet to the taste, used by the natives for shortening, frying of meats, fish and doughnuts. For tbe same purposes is the rendered fat of the aheep's tail used. Hut unlike tho mutton tallow which, when at a low temperature, looks compact, and is brittle, that from the tail, has the consistency and granular appearance of lard, with the exception that the former is slightly yellowish and resembles somewhat the natural color of May butter. But the fat principally used by the better classes for kitchen uso is Semmen butter prepared for that purpose, while for table use Zibbdoh fresh butter is ordinarily in vogue. As they are. however, unable, for want of ice, to keep butter from spoiling for more than a week or two, and in order to save themselves from loss, thoy resort to a means at once philosophical, as well as practical. After supplying tho market with all the fresh butter needed, they put up tho surplus for winter use by depriving it of the elements which cause tho rancidity. The process is very simple and easily accomplished. Before the butter has timc to develop any taint, it is put into the melting pot, and over a slow tire, allowing it to come to the boiling point. For fifteen or twenty minutes the boiling is continued, during which time it is repeatedly 6tirred to prevent caseous matter, which falls to the bottom, from burning, and thus impart a bad tasto to tbe butter. When thoroughly . boiled tho lacteal subtances have all coagulated, and will gradually- fall as a sediment to the bottom, while the liquid above will become clear, and contain nothing more than the pure oleo of the butter. While yet hot it is decanted into clean vessels and allowed to cool. If the boiling process has been carefully conducted, it suonld be free from all odor, and have a granular appearance not unlike a genuine good article of leaf lard, though by no mans a? white. In this 6tate the butter will continue sweet for a year or more if kept in a temperature not exceeding seventy degrees, and shielded from the light. In order to distinguish it from other fats, they usiiallj' drop in 'a little of the tincture of sartron.which not only restores the natural bnttcr color, but also imparts to it a grateful flavor. Darvmen will do well to introduce this kind of butter into our markets; they will not only save themselves from loss, but will be able to afl'ord a pure article of butter at a reasonable cost for cooking purposes, being iniinitely superior to lard. During seasons when rains aro frequent theetfectof tile drainage is mftde very manifest by comparison with undratned lields. It requires but a short time for a tile-drained tield to rid itself of the surplus water and become warm. Tile drainage has in all cases proved of incalculable benetit to lands that aro liablo to continued dampness from an excess of moisture. . Sunflower seds havb been known for vears. by those who have used this article aright, as a most excellent thing to mix with poultry feed. The properties of this seed are peculiar, and a small quantity fed at tho proper -time will essentially aid iu imparting beauty to the plumage
