CONDITION OF TIIE MAEKETS Wheat Prices Fluctuated Considerably Through the Day, and Closed Lower, Another Report About the Vienna Congress--Corn a Shade Higher Active Trading; ' Done in Hojj Products.MONEV, STOCKS AND BONDS. Slanj Wild Ramon on the N York Exchange Concentrated Dealing. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Money on call was easy at CLj'SJ per cent., the last loan being made at 22 per cent; closing offered at 22 per cent. Prim mercantile paper, S-T per cent. Sterling exchange quiet anl linn at fLSCfor sixty-day bills, and $4.87 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 241,COO shares, including tbo following: Atchison, 20,900; Delaware, Lackawanna fc Western, 8,100; Louisville &, Nashville, 3,500; Northern Pacific, 18,275; Northern Pacific preferred, 41,496; Missouri Pacific, 24,235; Oregon Transcontinental, Heading, 17.2J0; St. Paul, 23,200; Union Pacific; 5.C00. " The stock market to-day was qnietand stagnant outsido of a few leading shares, and, while the volume of business was , moderate, over two-thirds of th entire amount was in seven stocks. These gave "what tone the market possessed, and in them and a few specialties all the movement in tho market was made. The advance in the rate of discount by the Hank of England, though it was fully expected, caused considerable nervousness in London, and soxno stocks were sold ior foreign , account and a bearish feeling prevailed anioug the traders here, which had the effect of opening this market generally slight fractions lower than last evening's prices. The declining tendency in the general list, however, was met by a renewal of the activity and strength in the Northern Pacifies, and the early losses were generally quickly recovered. The upward movement in Northern Pacific was very pronounced, and was accompanied by several minors, none of which, however, were snsceptibleof corroboration. Among thoso which found currency was one that tho preferred stock was to bo made a four-per-ceut. stock, and that the holdings ot the Oregon Transcontinental had been contracted for, and that Mr. Villa rd had the capitalists of the Standard Oil at his back and that he would be able to nam the next board of directors. The heaviest bnyers of the stock to-day were brokers who usually act for the Standard Oil people, and this gave some appearance of truth to the latter rumor. The Northern Pacifies were supplanted in the afternoon by the Southwestern stocks, and Atchison and Missouri Pacific made marked gains on large business. This movement was also the occasion of the circulation of numerous rumors, and it was said that Mr. Gould and Mr. Huntington will between them own and operate the Atchison by the first of the coming year, but when this met with denial it was stated that Mr. Gould was to go into the Atchison directory and that closer relations were to bo established between the Atchison and the Missouri Pacific. After these movements had expended their force there was a reaction, but the heavy further acceptances of bonds by the Treasury stillened the market up again in the last hour and the close was quiet and steady to firm, generally at slightly better figures than those of the opening. The trusts, with the exception of Cotton Oil.were dull, and moved within narrow limits, Tho final changes are evenly divided between Rains and losses, though all the important ones are in the direction of higher figures. St. Paul preferred and Oregon Navigation rose 2 per cent.; Northern Pacific preferred, ljc; Missouri Pacific, lc; and Atchison and Manitoba 1 per cent, each. There was tho usual quiet business in railroad bonds, the sales aggregating $384.000, and the Rock Island fives were again the active specialty, contributing $1SO,000 to tho total. The market was steady, to firm. The important advances were: Northwestern consols, 1, to 148; Evansville &. Indianapolis consols, 2:, to 115; Ohio, Indiana & Western firsts, lh. to 801. Government bonds were dull and heavy zor tne lours. State bonds were dull and without uro.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29,-Bar silver, 92 be TK.VD1NG AT CHICAGO. Th Fps and Downs of the Market, with th Range In Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO. Aug. 29.-Tho wheat market was active but nervous to-day, and fluctuations in prices were frequent, though the extreme range was not as wide as yesterday. The opening for futures was easy as early cables were lie lower, and tho market here was weaker in sympathy. It was reported that a private cable had been received in New York saying that the Vienna seed congress was made up of wheat owners, and that their report was prejudiced and colored to suit their personal views. The most potent factor in the way of nuwn was tho estimate of tho Cincinnati Price Current, placing tho European crop shortage at 40,000.000 bushels, and making the world's wheat supply equal to that of last year. The "bulls" were encouraged by the continued excellent demand here for ronnd lots of both No. 2 and No. 3 wheat for export. Jt in safe to sav that about half a million bushels have been arranged for during the past two days. A big lot of wheat was reported to have been taken for export at lJulnth by Chicago parties. This anxiety on the part of foreigners to get hold of cash property is regarded as a btrong featuro in the market, despite the fact that public

cables continue indifferent and weak. Fluctuations here were within a little less than lc range, and final closings forfutures were lower than yesterday. Corn was active and unsettled. The market was firm early, but weak later. The early strength was due to a rumored cold wave from tne Northwest, which started local "shorts" to covering, and prices were advanced in consequence. The fine weather and large receipts, however, continue to be the chief bearish factor, but there is less disposition on the part of the local crowd to sell short. The market opened at yesterday's closing prices, was firm for a time, and sold tip c, but ruled easier and declined 14'S3&c, became firmer and closed a shade higher than yesterday. Oats were weak and 4C lower for the near lutures, owing to liberal selling by longs, continued fine weather and liberal receipts. May waa traded in freely and prices receded 1tiC, but later reacted and closed steady. Trading was active in mess pork, the market being unsettled. The market was strong early and prices were advanced 20 c. followed by a reaction of 5 10c. Later prices advanced 1520c, bnt liberal otlermgs caused a reduction of 252rS0c. At tho close prices rallied 202.c, closing steady. a fairly active trade was reported in the lard market and tbo feeling was steadier. Prices exhibited no change. Trading was active in short ribs and the feeling was strong. Prices were well supplied at 510o advance. The leading futures ranged as follows:

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS. A Fair Trade for August In lrogresi, with Prices Ruling Steady. Indianapolis, Aug. 29. In most departments trado was as active as could be expected in the last week of tho last summer mouth. The wholesale merchants, as a rule, express the opinion that the sales of this month havo been somewhat in excess of those of the corresponding period of 1888. Especialb is this truo of the dry goods houses, and with druggists, and hardware men. Tho dry goods men have been rather surprised that their business has been so good the last few days, so warm has the weather been. There has been so much building this season that the druggists have sold unusual quantities of

oil and paints, and the hardware men, in turn, have had a big trade. Grocers have had about tho usual volume of business, and as prices have fluctuated, comparatively speaking, but little, they have made some money, unless on settlement day they find that tho bad bills aro more numerous than they had anticipated. Millers are rather blue; the demand for flour is not as great as they would like to have it, and prices tcnd downward rather than upwarcL I'rnits were moro plenty to-day, and prices easier. Eggs, butter and poultry are wanted at our best quotations. Good stock is readily disposed of. GRAIN. The Indianapolis Market Rerort gives the receipts of wheat, to-day, as being 23,400 bushels. The market is easier than on Wednesday, although best samples find ready sale at quotations. Wheat We quote No. 2 red, 75375bc; No. 3 red,71b72bc; rejected, 63264c for poor, up to 09369c for choice samples, the ruling figures being 65367c; unmerchantable, 55357c; August, 75c. Corn Receipts posted to-day, 6,000 bu; yesterday, 15,000 bu. All the buyers of corn are loaded and no one seems willing to increase his load. So there is almost no trading, and prices quoted are

'Jxcal dealers are paying $8.50 a 9. Hay ahd Straw Receipts posted to-day, none; yesterday, two cars. Shipping demand small. The local demand is active, owing to the small stock. A few cars, however, would satisfy this, and then we may expect an easier market. Timothy hay, choice, $11.50 12; No. 1, $11: old, $11.50; No. 2, $10; prairie. No. 1, $738. Straw, $3.

To prevent sunburn rub a little cube of magnesia, such as all apothecaries sell, thickly over the face when about to b exposed to the sun. To relieve sunburn apply Lot water to tho facoatas high a temperature as can bo borne, and lie in the dark afterwards. Other soothing applications aro buttermilk and sour cream, and dusting the skin with rye llonr. Small red ants, according to a statement in tho New York Examiner, cannot walk over woolen goods of any kiud. We quote: "One who has tried it covered her floor with coarse baize, set her sofa on that, and has not been troubled since. She adds: Cover a shelf in your closet or pantry with flannel, set whatever you wish to keep from tho ants on it, and they will at once disappear.' This, if true, is a veiy useful bit of information." The most attractive pin-cushions at present aro those consisting of three bQken sacks, 6tuded firmly, attached to each other and tiet together round the necks by a bow of moire ribbon. The 6acks are about six inches high, wide in proportion, and of boruo pretty shade of pongee Bilk. They may be all of the same color, or each of a difterent one. The ribbon, about two and a half inches wide, must blend with them in color. A fall of light cream-colored lace falls from the ribbon tie. Darned lace is still a bit of fancy work that serves to while away a summer hour. This is a revived crazo that was at one time to bo found only in white, but is now seen in all the prettiest tinted nets, which makes it an especially attractive trimming for the beach or garden hat. Scarlet seems to bo one of the most favorite shades for this pnrpose. Some delicate pieces in white are being darned in graceful leaves aud flowers for graudma's best cap and fichu by the deft lingers of the pretty little granddaughter. . Collarettes of lace aud ribbon are easily made at home, aud at a much less expense than they can be purchased in the sliops. First cut tho foundation band straight at the back, allowing it to curve in front to lit the throat. This must, of course, be of silk, and slightly stiffened so as it will remain in shape. Over this is placed troutrou not. of any width that the fancy may prefer, and edged by a deep fall of lace. Through the meshes of the net are run baby ribbons of white, each ribbon ending in a looped end that rests upon the bread ruftio of lace. A large bow or rosette of ribbon joins the band at the back. It is a good thing to till up a stiff corner with a tall bunch of cat-tails; and the best way to arrange them is to tack across the corner, about four feet from the floor, a strip of stout pasteboard two inches wide. Bind the cat-tails lirmly together a couple of feet from the ends, in the shape you want, and fasten them to the middle of the strip with a piece of wire. They now fit in the corner without being huddled together, and a bow fastened in front of the strip conceals all of tho tying apparatus and jives them the appearance of being loosely leld by the ribbon. They can bo shaken to remove dust through the winter, and the long, thin leaves need never get broken, but stay graceful as when tirst arranged. To make glove and handkerchief cases, take a piece of cotton batting tho size your case is to be, cover it with surah, or any soft silk, tack it through the cotton loosely, and have the silk large enough to turn over the edgo of tho cotton, and catch down to form a facing about two inches deep. For the outside have the chamois skin slightly larger than the cotton, and cut it up into fringe one inch deep. Abovo the fringe imitate a pretty stitch, or draw a band of gilding. Outline on tho cover a short, crisp motto or initials. Put satchct powder in the cotton, catch it down to tho chamois cover, fold once like a book, and it is ready for use. Tho silk and cotton may be quilted together,m place of tacking through. Russian tea is usually made by steeping tea in boiling water in the 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. The better way to make it is easier in hot weather, and so made iced-tea is a positive luxury. Four hours before you require the tea for use (or over night if you choose), put four teaspoonfuls of tea into a pitcher, pour on it a quart of cold water, cover aud set in the ice-box. It does not 6onnd as if good tea could bo made with cold water, but this is the perfection of cold lea. fraErant without the least bitterness, and of a eautiful amber clearness. Sweeten as any . other tea. With a little lemon juice and a slice of lemon floating iu each glass makes this the fashionable "Russian tea." Somebody tells a great deal of truth in these six sentences: Never rent a farm if you can own one. Tho man who rents a farm must necessarily add much to the ftremises from which he cannot derive any lenetit. If he attempts to crop a rented farm without doing justice to the land, he will sutler a loss as well aa the owner. There are tuany improvements of the soil from which tho owner receives the beueiit, in the course of time, at the expense of tho renter. All farms should bo rented by mutual agreement, and all conditions plainly stipulated. An ardent admirer of the Holstein-Fries-ians contends that experiments by Rhoda and others in Europe and Amenca have shown that the Holland breed can produco milk at much less cost than other breeds kept in the same stable and on like food, and that they not only vie successfully with the puro butter breeds, both iu quality and quautity, but they aro protitably bred and grown up for becL
