The Northern Pacitic deal was subject of conversation still the great this morning. hut tho buying seemed to tho the tho have been preferred to transferred from tho common stock and former failed to score any advance- a. r suit of the duy'a operations. The grangers took a more prominent placo in the market, and were helped by a number of circumstances. St. Paul being strong on rumors of a meeting called to act upon tho question of a dividend upon the preferred stotk, and Northwestern advanced materially with the holp of largo buying orders from Chicago, said to ho induced by information of new steps taken looking to the removal of Chicago, JJurliugtou fc Northern as a disturbing factor iu the Northwest. The report that tho per centage of operating expenses on tho linrlington fc (Juincy had been reduced to 55 per cent, was the principal favorable inlluence iu that stock, and Rock Island moved up on large gains in the earnings for August. Reading became very prominent attain in the afternoon, and rumors that insiders had stated that tho earnings would show up more favorably from this timo and the buying in tho stock was largely by parties'who have for a long time held aloof lrom the stock. The trusts also showed more life later in tho day. both Lead and Cotton Oil advancing fractionally. There was some foreign buying, bnt it was not of special importance at any time of tho day, aud tho demand for stocks was met by freo realizations throughout the day. The 'bulls', were very aggressive, however, and no weakness was shown at any period except just at the close. The opening was somewhat irregular, but generally higher, with Northern Pacific and Atchison in the lead. , Material improvement was made in the first hour. The advance, however, continued until nearl p. m., the grangers, Louisville, Head iug and trusts being especially prominent. The market then Decamo less active, and prices lluctuated back and over a narrow range until tho last hour, when tho realizations began to tell upon quotations, and small fractional losses were sustained. The closo was dull and rather heavy, but at material advances over last night. Almost the entire active list is higher tonight, and Louisville & Nashville is up l3 St. Paul, Ha: Atchison, Northwestern and Oregon Navigation 1 per cent, each, and the others fractional amounts. The railroad bond market was also more active to-day, the sales of all issues aggregating $1.4W,000, while tho Rock Island lives still kept the lead and contributed $335,000 to tho total, and St. P., II. &, D. lives $1S6,000. Outside of those two issues, however, there was tho same quiet business, with little or no featuro of interest, the tone of the dealings being generally steady and the important final changes few in number.

A smaller volume of business was transacted iu the wheat market, aud prices averaged a littlo lower for all futures. The cxciteracct in provisions detracted largely from the interest in wheat and most of the professional traders in the latter hold very pronounced bearish views, "Rear' influences dominated tho vit, in fact, from first to last, and so largely iu excess of the demand wero the otieriugs Ahat it looked at times as though the market was going all to pieces. It was chieily une-man power that held it, the purchases of December, at 7Ss4QTlc, by a prominent operator aggregating a million bushels, according to his own statement. The weather and public cables again worked together in favor of lower prices. Liverpool noted a decline of Id in XMt wheat and 34d in futures, with the market dull. Flour was also reported fd lower, and London cables were of a similar import. Paris alono showed improvement iu values for breadbtutf. Outside domestic markets were tendintr down. New York leading in the weakness. Tho cash market here was less active and averaged Vaio lower for all grades.

Snecnlation was of a light scalping order all day aud closing prices for futures were squarel- on the bottom. Uascd on yesterday's closings there was a net loss of pa'da 011 deliveries beyond August. A good speculative and a fair shipping business was transacted in corn. The feeling developed was but a continuation of that which has existed the past few days and transactions were at still lower prices. Tho exceptionally line weather and tho continued liberal receipts are tho chief bearish influences which arfect the market. The market opened H'&Hv lower than yesterday's closing prices, eased off 34C, ruled steadier and closed 1'23hC lower than j'esterday. Oats were moderately active and weaker. There was good unloading by "longs." especially for August and September delivery, which declined sc. The more deferred futures, while weak, were only -c lower, in sympathy with the others. Unusually heavy trading was reported in mess pork. Prices ruled very irregular, fluctuated widely, and advanced fully 1.05 on tho whole raEge, Outside figures were not fully supported, however, and prices settled back 40345c, and closed rather tame. More was doing in tbo lard market, and the feeling was stronger. Trices were advanced .lOtT.lSc, but the apnreciatiou was not fully supported. Trading was quite brisk in the market for short ribs. Prices were advanced .15'3!.17J2C, but the appreciation was not fully supported. Tho leading futures ranged as follows.

Money Tightness Somewhat Relieved A Marked Improvement In Iron. NEW YORK, Aug. S0.-R. G. Dun fc Co.'s weekly reviow of trade says: "Last week's suggestions iu regard to tho monetary situation have been entirely sustained by tho events of the past week. Those who held largo amounts of government bonds wero induced to sell freely at prices formerly paid by the Treasury, which has thus been enabled to pay out about $20,000,000 for bonds. But these heavy disbursements have scarcely changed at all the market for commercial paper here, at Bostou, or at Philadelphia, though speculation has been rendered more active, aud bharp advances in stocks and wheat have resulted. Tho Secretary's belief that bonds, toa large amount, could bo obtained at tho prices offered has beeu justified, and ho has done what ho could under the law to prevent monetary pressure. But the money disbursed seems likely to relieve speculative rather than commercial needs, at least nntil other operations besides the one in government bonds have been liquidated. Stocks have advanced just $2.50 per share in a week, and 1.200,000 shares have been sold already at the rising prices. As yet the money for ho ml s has not actually gone out of tho treasury, and its cash holdings are a little larger than a week ago, but its deposits in bank are half a million less. Business in all parts of tho country continues to improve with the stimulus of large crops. Chicago report immense increase in receipts of grain and provisions, with considerable, gain in sales of dry goods and clothing. Milwaukee And trade improving; at Detroit and St Paul previous improvement is maintained: at Omaha business is very good, and though trade at Kansas City is rather quiet, the demand for money is enlarging. At Cleveland and Pittsburg the iron li:sints is expaudiug, and at Philadelphia improvement is noted in wool, groceries, iron and steel, and their products, aud in coal, with good trade in drugs and chemicals, and tobacco. At Boston sales of wool are larger, reaching 2,100,000 pounds for the week, and the goods trade is larger, with prices well maintained. A heavy demand for export is observed in leather, and large buildiug operations make the lumber trade more active. The situation iu the iron industry is surprisingly encouraging, for a weekly production'hardly ever surpassed appears to be met by a wonderful demand, although deliveries of rails continue below last year's. The Tennessee Coal and Iron Company gives notice of an advance of 24 cents in its

prices for pig-iron, and the rise in the- price of coke at Pittsburg insnres some advance in pig-iron there, while bar, plate and structural iron are in strong demand, and the works better employed than they have been for several years. Wool is not yet freely taken by manufacturers at current prices. The high price and inferior quality of cotton embarrasses manufacturers, but a large new supply is now at hand. The interior money markets are so well supplied that the lack of supply for commercial purposes at the chief Eastern cities is the more noticeable. AtjMilwaukee there is more activity and a stroustvlemaEdt and at Chicago the demand is good, but in general thesnpplyia ample at the usual rates. Collections aro improving at Omaha. nd rather better at Philadelphia, but at most points tho absence of complaint is noteworthy. The movement, of money through the Treasury to the interior continues, and would doubtless havo caused some pressure here, but for tho liberal sales of bonds. While the Bank of England has raised its rate of m discount thus evincing a disposition I J to prevent any outflow ' of -.gold to. this country, the sales of'-commereitil bills against cotton and othtr crops havWbecn large and the exports irom New York for lour weeks exceed laM. year's by nearly 22 per cent, the increase on imports being a little larger. In the speculative markets tho general tendency, has been toward lower prices, though wheat advanced on extravagant reports of shortness in European crops. But tho average of prices for all comodities is about 1 per cent, lower than a week ago, and even In wheat tho later sales indicate a declining tendency, as in other grain and provisions. The business failures number 211. as compared with 200 last week, and 213 tho week previous. For the corresponding week last year tho figures were 220. XI A UK IX GEXERAL.

A Quiet Day's Trade with No FInctuations of Values Calling for Mention Except Coffees. Indianapolis, Aug. 30. As usual when a month nears its close trade to-day was rather quiet Taken as a whole the business of tho month has been very satisfactory to tho wholesale men, and September eVues in full of good promise for trade. The crops of Indiana are far ahead of what it was expected they would yield sixty days ago. Money is plenty and there is a healthy touo to traflic. In prices to-day there wero no important fluctuations; as a whole prices aro of a firm tendency. Dry goods mon have had a good trade the last few days; while woolen tfoods have seemingly been easier in price, the prices havo not varied to such an extent as to call for a revision in quotations. Grocers havo had an average month's trade. Sugars and coffees, the two principal staples, havo been in strong position the last thirty days. Coffees, roasted grades advance Lc to-day. Tho provision market carries an easy tone, with only a lair trade in progress. Tho produce markets aro active. Eggs still scarce and advancing in price. Poultry is lirm at quotations; the same is true of butter. Apples are in good supply and weak in price unless very choice fruit Pears and peaches aro a shade higher on lighter receipts Some choice peaches to-day sold at $1.25 per ouo-third bushel box. Irish and sweet potatoes aro in ample supply, demand 6low, so warm is the weather. Other markets aro featureless. GRAIN. The local wheat market retains the firm tone of Thursday, and the better grades aro in active demand. In corn there is but little doing, prices practically nominal, and oats rule dull, except No. 2 mixed, which aro in fair demand. Wo quote: . Wheat No. 2 red.

After awhile sho pot a divorce and presently along came a check with Uncle Sam's name to it for tho pension which she did not draw whilo experimenting with post-bellum connubial bliss. Now the courts have taken the money away from her on tho ground that she got married tbe necond time at hor own risk. UucloSain isn't conducting a matrimonial insurance business if lio knows himself. . "What we lack, perhaps, more than all," says the great horticulturist, A. J. Downing, "is not the capacity to perceive and enjor the bcatitv of ornamental trees aud KhrubM. tho rural embellishment aliko of the cottage and the villa, but wo aro doiicient'iu the knowledge and the opportunity of knowing how beautiful human habitatiooa arc made by a little taste, time and means expended iu this wajr."

Itemove one head from a cider barrel and cut a sqnaro hole in it largo enough to admit one end of a pipe made of four boards Ciuned together. One of these boards must o short enough at the lowor end to aflbrd a side opening. tand tho barrel in the cellar, or where it is to remain, put in tho pipe (letting its lower end rest on the bottom of the barrel) and then lit it to the head in such a way that it will hold the Eipe in place. Now fill the arrel witb ntrong brine, completely covering the top head. A follower must bo cut out and battled to the end of a broom-handle, and when it is desired to put the cucumbers in the briuo they aro pushed down tho pipe with the follower until the orifice at the bottom ia reached, when they will ll oat oil' into tho brine and rise to tho top, under the cover. Tho advantage- of this arrangement is that tho pickles aro never allowed to corao iu contact with the air, and the scum can be removed from the barrel on any occasion. In tho fall, when the weather become cold, draw oil the brine through a spilo at the bottom and fill tho barrel with fresh, water to soak out the excess of salt. When the pickles aro snfticicntly freshened, draw the water and put iu vinegar. TThat to Expect Now. Philadelphia Inquirer.
