The "Bulls" Desist in Their Eflbrte and Wheat and Corn Prices Drop Slightly. The Cash Peicaiul, However, Keeps Figures Within Half a Cent of the Daj BeforeBetter Trices for Ho EroducU. 3IONEY STOCKS AND BONDS. Excessive Dullness lleigned in New York C. St O. and lUg Four tb Active Stocks. NEW YORK, Ang. 7. Money on call as easy at 2 32 per cent., the last loan being made at 3, closing offered at Sc. Prima mercantile paper. AG2 per cent. Sterling exchange qniet bat strong at &U5 for sixty-day bills, and S.S?1 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were lv& shares, including the- following: Atchison, Missouri Pacific, 5,800; Northwestern, 46uf Northern Pacific, preferred. 7.410; Keeling, 7.T&3; St. Paul, 10,030; Union Paciric, S.7J0. Th& stock market again showed a less, in the amount of business, and specultion was in that degree 18 interesting than those of previous few days. The market was irregular, and price3 at times sagged off slowly while the movement iu everything except tho few leading shares was cc a fined to tbe smallest fraction, and were generally -tvithont special significance. The belief gained ground that the bull leaders were desirous of shaking off some of their too nnmerons small followers and during most of the day did nothing and allowed prices to sag under the assaults of tho trailers, while outside centers were also seemingly Join 2 little, though London bought some of its favorites, which business, however, amounted to small proportions. . The Chicago people who were so lately prominent in tbe upward movement were conspicnona by their absence, and tho realization included were suilicient to check the upward tendency in prices. Tho opening was generally firm, but while Pela".vare &, Hudson were exceptionally strong with a rie of a4 per ceut.. in but few cases were the farther advances of any moment. Lake Erie & Western preferred w&a a featnre and rapidly rose l1 per cent. and later roso 4 more, . Tho Chesapeake & fOhio stocks, and C. C, C fc St. Louis preferred. nlto made marked advances, but outside of these the market had a drooping tendency, which lasted throughout the forenoon, and at 12 o'clock almost everything traded in was slightly lower than at the opening. After that tiraethere was some support given price 3. whilo the selling slackened off, and. while tho market became extremely dull there was a linn tone to the dealings, and before 2 p. m. most of the list had reached the highest price of the day. and were fractionally higher. Considerable animation wan developed in Missouri Pacific it JSt. Paul, but the rest of the list was quiet to dull: There was a renewal of the selling in the last hour, and prices agaiu yielded, but the tone at tho close was firm, with the dullness very marked. The only really active stocks were St. Paul, Chesapeake &. Ohio common and Atchison. Tbe tinal changes are about equally divided between gains and losses, but are usually for slight fractions only, tbe important advances including Chesapeake & Ohio, and Lake Krie & Western preferred. 18 each, and Chesapeake &. Ohio seconds preferred, lg, whilo San Francisco preferred sold off ls4. . 1 Kailroad bonds were nuiet, tho sales reaching $l.Sa"i,0U0, and kansns & Texas sixes contributed 10i000, and Richmond &. Allegheny first receipts $103,000. The market was generally linn, the only feature being the strength in the Kansas fc Texas issuer and the linal changes are small and quite irregular. Kansas k Texas lives rose 2. to soicGovemment bonds were dull and steady, btate bonds were dull and steady.

The Up and Downs of the Market, with the llnnga In Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, Ang. 7. The trend of wheat values was downward to-day. Tho local crowds havo been working the "buir' side of the market forthe past two or three days, but this morning tho feeling was weak in tho extreme, beforo as well as after the opening. Cables came in unfavorable, both spot and futures of wheat at Liverpool being quoted lower, with a limited demand. Tho increase for the week in tho quantity on ocean passage, according to the board's report, was 880,000 bushels, but Bcerbohm made tho increase 1,010,000 bushels and explained that it was almost all Knssian wheat. This was regarded as a "bear" circumstance. Coupled with the depressing cables was the uno weather on this side and free movement of wheat into the primary markets. Inlluences were, in faet. pretty generally favorable for lower 1 u-ices, uarnug 1 ne good casu demand for :10th wheat and llour. and this did not appear to havo as much weight, either y esterday or to-day,as the "hulls ' had hoped for and confidently expected. The opening was V:ihc under yesterday's closing range, and beforo noon the market weakened Vdc more, December selling down to78ic. At that figure a prominent local operator was a free buyer, taking.it is said, fully 1.500.0UO bushels of December at Wic and under. The effect of this buying was to check the decline, and the market slowly rallied to the opening price, or TSc. Later it again became weak and receded to about inside tigurea, closing at a net loss lor tho day in the leading futures of V Vc Considerable "long'' wheat was closed out by local "bull" houses, and at times business was fairly active, though the volume ,of trade, on the aggregate, was not large. Cra roJed rather quiet tho greater part of

the session, though there were periods of temporary activity. Tho feeling on tho whole was easier, and trading was at slightly lower prices than yesterday. Tho market was easy and offerings were quite free, influenced some by tho lino weather, and prices declined 4C A large local speculator was a buyer ou the decline, and tho market rallied, eased off a little, aud closed I40 lower than, yesterday. There was some selling on country account early in the day. The demand for cash corn when the market opened also had a strengthening iniluence on the market. Cables were less favorable to holders, and domestic markets were easy. There was less trading in oats, and a quiet and easier feeling prevailed, bnt price changes were confined to a small range. Considerable interest was manifested in the market for mess pork throughout the day. Prices were advanced 10 15c, and tho market closed steady at outside figures. The market for lard attracted considerable attention. Early the feeling was linn and prices were advanced .07V .10c. Later prices receded .OSV'S'-Otfc. At the close it rallied again and ruled firm. Fair attention was given short ribs. Early the feeling was stronger and prices ruled .(TZi-ya Sfc higher. Later prices receded again, toward the close rallied .052.07Vc, and closed steady. The leading futures ranged as follows:

activity. Thero were a good many buyers in, who were making liberal purchases, and reports from salesmen on tho road were very encouraging. Prices are steady. The New York Bulletin' of the Cth says of tho trade in dry goods: "The closing days of last week showed very conclusively that tho early visitors are in the right temper to insure a very energetic inauguration of the new season. They want the new things in all classes and kinds, and, iurthermore, want them right away. Our jobbers are in 6hapo to gratify their wants and stimulate them to the highest attainable point. Every large house has a thoroughly complete and elegantly assorted offering now ready for the visitors. Not only this, bnt several of our representative, jobbers are already in the field with 'special' offerings in the interest of their patrons. It is very probable that to-morrow will 6oe tho fall campaign in good initial movement. All of tho jobbers report that for tho preceding week their autumn sales, although not conspicuously large, were, at any rate, well in advance of last year's record for tho corresponding period. The new season is welcomed with every coniidencein its ultimate result. A healthy, natural fall business i9 very generally expected, devoid of that dangerous reactionary boom element which is neither desirable nor expected. Mail order receipts this morning were satisfactory, and constituted tha major ' portion of tho day's business. Nothing occurred of special interest in any quarter of tho market." Groceries were reported in good position, with all staples 6teady to strong, with coffees still showing an upward tendency. The produco market shows no now feature. Good table butter is scarce, but inferior grades are abundant, and not wanted. Egs are unchanged in price, but it is noticed that with the continued cool weather there is less loss in candling. Poultry is arriving in increased quantity, and spring chickens are really lower than hens, though shippers give the same quotation on both. GRAIN. There were receipts of fifty-nine car-loads of Wheat to-day, of which fourteen graded No. 2 and thirty-seven rejected, with only eight unmerchantable or below. This is an improvement over tho quality of recelpU for sonio days past, and is very encouraging to the flour trade, which has been languishing for some weeks. The wheat market is firm for No. 2 red. Thero were sales early at 76c, and later at 76 Vc, while 76 Vo was bid at the close, with no sellers at that figure. All offerings of wheat at the above figures were readily taken. The improvement in tho grading of new wheat has imparted a tone of greater solidity of the market, and dealers are beginning to feel tho giound under them again. Corn is in steady, good demand from manufacturers, and the better grades are a shade higher. We quote prices of grain as follows: Wheat New No. 2 red was sold at 763 70UC, later 760 was bid without sellers; No. 3 red, 71372c; rejected, 63367c; unmerchantable, 53 357c; August. 75375V0.

One of the simplest remedies for sleeplessness is to inhale slowly a number of deep breaths, counting them to keep the mind -on it; when other means fail to obtain sleep, try this. Tho 60verest attack of hiccouhgs may be stopped in the same way. A white shawl or any other article knit or crocheted from worsted may be cleaned Perfectly, it is 6aid, by putting in 6ifted our and rubbing or squeezing it about thoroughly but not wringing. Then shake out the Hour and hang tho article out in a gentlo breeze for a couple of hours. Simple lemonade is greatly improved by' rubbing the peel with sugar. When made for patients recovering from fever a far more grateful drink than strong lemonade is made by using one lemon to a Quart of water, with ono lump of sugar rubbed on the peel, sweeten very little. This, given in teaspoon fu Is when the mouth and touguo are parched, is inexpressibly refreshing. . Cold tea or Russian tea is usually made by steeping tea In boiling water in tbe usual way and setting it in ice. This gives the astringency that is pleasant when hot with cream, but to many tastes very unpleasant when cold. Tho better way to make it is easier in hot weather, and so made iced-tea is a positive luxury. Four hours beforo you require the tea for nse (or over night if you choose) put fourteaspoonluls of tea into a pitcher, pour on It a quart of cold water, cover and set in the ice-box. It does not sound as if good tea could be made with cold water, but this is the perfection of cold tea, fragrant without' the least bitterness and of a beautiful amber clearness. Sweeten as any other tea. With a little lemon juice and a 6lice of lemon lloating in each glass makes this the fashionable "Russian ta." From now until September is the tine to skeletonize leaves. Collect perfectly matured specimens, always in dry weather. Leaves of ivy. poplar, beech and ferns skeletonize most easily. Dissolve four ounces of common washing soda in a quart of boiling water, add two ounces of slacked quicklime and boil fifteen minutes. When the solution is cool, pour off tho clear liquor into a clean saucepan. Bring it to tho boiling point, place the leaves carefully in the pan and boil tho whole together for one hour, adding occasionally lust suilicient boiling waterto replace that lost by evaporation. Try the leaves after thev havo boiled gently for an hour, aDd if the cellular matter does not rub off easily between thumb and linger under cold w ater, boil again a, short time. When the fleshy matter, is sutncientlv softened rub them separately and gently beneath cold water till the skeleton is exposed. The skeletons are of a dirty white color, and to be pure white must be bleached in a solution of a large teasnoonful of lime to a quart of water. A lew drops of vinegar improves this solution. Do not leave the specimens so long in this as to become brittle. About iifteen minutes is usually suilicient. When bleached, dry in white blotting paper under gentle pressure. Utilization of Fertilizing Material. Philadelphia Record. Thero is a large amount of waste material that can be added to the manure heap with advantage, and during the warm days of summer tbe materials very quickly decompose. Weeds can bo profitably raked up and added to the manure heap, provided they are not ready to seed, and even then a well-managed heap will destroy the seeds. Tho most important requisite with manure is to havo it as lino as possible, and, with this object in view, the hay left over or trampled,, should be cut. The straw used for bedding will be more serviceable if cnt for that purpose, and will also more readily act as au absorbent in the manure heap. It must not bo overlooked that tho liquids are more valuable than the solids, and the best mode of retaining the liquids is to uso absorbent materials. Even dry dirt has been found a valnablo substance in tho manure heap, when used as an absorbent, and as the liquids serve to hasten decomposition, they largely increase tho valnoof the solid portions. If the liquids are added to the hesD it is apparent that any excess will liow away and carry oft' much of tho fertilizing qualities of the manure. Hence, when the hum is exposed to heavy rains the manure will absorb water, and also allow it to pas down. The surplus rain-water in its how dissolves out the valuable portions of the manure, and forces tho liquids to flow

awav, Jeaving the solid portions bo hind, bnt thoroughly saturated. When

the snn pours its nat on tho heap the action of moisture, beat and air causes a chemical change to occur by wLiclr a portion of thenolid is decomposed and rendered soluble, the result being that tho next rain catries oil more fertilizing material, and the heap is impoverished. Tho sun does as aiuch damage as the rain, as continued expsnre induces tho generation of heat of a highvr temperature within tho heap than is necessary. When this occurs it is known as ".th'e-langtng," or "burning up' of the manure, as the elements ere liberated as fast as clACuncal decomposition occurs. Manure should be composed of fine materials, not only to hasten decomposition, but to facilitate the handling of it. A certain degree of heat is necessary, as heat is simply the result of cbeinicaJ action; but as 6oon as the materials in he center and near the bottom of tho heap re decomposed, tho heap should be hanalcd by turning the materials over. When this is done, all tho coarse materials, or thoe recently added, should bo thrown to the center and well saturated with liquid maimre, the whole covered to protect against the sun and rains. Should the heat becoiue too high make holes in the heap with a crowbar and pour in cold water until yon can get an opportunity to turn it again. Maa.uro so managed will be in proper condition Jor any kind of crop. The Pantry, The Tan try. The evolution of the pantrv has been ad. interesting study in house decoration, becoming more and more elaborate as the modern convenience for cooking have superseded tho old-fashioned pots and pans., and as the love for the beautiful has. changed the aspect of the kitchen. In older times tho pantry was the buttery." It was a place for provisions rather than of dishes, rnd the bright tins hung around The kitchen walls being considered o. laments as well as useful articles. Then it was found necessary to make a cViset for tho tlour barrel and to provide shelves for all the other : boxes and unckoti. Tbe iuod was thought to be better kept on he- iu tho refrigerator or in a store-room m i lie cllar or near tho kitchen. Shelves besan io be reared alougthe walls of the pantry, i closet, perhaps, was a happy afterthought, and tho time came wnen tne luosi prominent purpose of tho pantry was .tJLn holding of dishes and the various cooldug contrivances, such i a . i i : l as xne egg-ocaiei s, n"j uouuio uuuer. . the steamers, and tho mullin-pans and. waflle irons. New the pantry is often n. more important apartment than the kitchcu, xjuviuk iuui ca.v'. i. jii -itv, nunc uic latter has diminished. Jts most important feature is the dresser. :u elegant as many sideboards. Its tiV over-lapping shelves are protected by floors of speckled cathedral glass set. j7 j ,!iu;ond panes. Deep drawers are place . the left and tho right of tho drss.r. uiU cre is a shallower drawer for table iiir.r:. N;!ietimes an embroidered curtain brish rods is used, 'but this is not a very Appropriate ornament, ono would thiZik, for a cooking department. To incroae the ornamen- ' tal effect the shtlvea may be supplied with, cheap ornamental ware placed among the dishes. Sometimes th3 dresser is placed ia the kitchen itself, but its most convenient position is in the pantry. Of all rooms in the house, it is impenart that the pantry should be bright, fresh and clean. One great attraction of tho largo hotels is tho neatness of their store-rooms and of the rooms where cooking is carried on. There is no reason why the kitchen and pantry of a small homo should not bo as clean and shining from caro and polish. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla, When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla, When she became Miss, sho clung to Castorla, When she had Children, she gave theia Castorla.
