w But Little Interest Taken in Speculative Wheat, and the Prices Are aShade Off. Fair Business in Corn at Slightly Higher Figures Irregular Fluctuations in OatsFork Deal Quieting DoTrn Somewhat, MONEV, STOCKS AND BONDS. Another Day of Strong Advances on the New York Exchange. NEW YORK, Sept. 5. Money on call was easy at SSo per cent., the last loan being made at 31? per cent.; closing ottered at 32 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 52)7 percent. 4 Sterling exchange quiet but steady at $4Mi for sixty-day bills, and $L8?34 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 872,100, shares, including the following: Atchison. 1,000; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 43,770; Erie, 5,000; Lake Shore, 16,100; Louisville & Nashville, 23,200; Missouri Pacific, 12,300; Northern Pacific, 11,500; Northern Pacific preferred, 22,300; Oregon Transcontinental, 9,400; Reading, 47,160; Kichmond &. West "Point, 4,050. St Paul, 20.700;' Union Pacific, 775; Western Union, 6,950. The stock market was again very active and decidedly strong to-day, the weakness seemingly having entirely disappeared from the list. The continued animation was largely the result of buying orders from outside sources, though the most influential of these were the buying of the Western stocks by the Chicago party which made the grangers to-day the leading stocks with exception of the coalers. The Villards occupied rather a secondary position in the market, though there was liberal buying of those shares by brokers supposed to act for the insiders, and the impression that the purchase for Mr. Yillard had been completed was not so much believed. The bearish feeling based upon frosts in, the West was very email, and, while there was a feeling that the reaction should have continued further, there was considerable hesitancy in making further short sales. The coal stocks were the gTeat feature of the day, and the effect of the rocent demonstration of harmony in continuing the restrictive policy finally scared the "shorts in those shares, and a liberal covering movement was chiefly responsible for the rise to-day. The smaller coal and iron companies were especially strong, and the Tennessee Coal was also helped by rumors of improvements to be made by new capitalists interested in the company. Among the specialties which exhibited marked strength were Manitoba, Wisconsin Central, Tennessee Coal, Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred, and Kingston &, Pembroke. "Wheeling & Lake Erie advanced on the continued good earnings and hints of developments in the stock from London, where a large amount of it has lately been sent. The London prices this morning were generally lower, out our market opened higher, with advances over last night's figures extending to 34 per cent. The market . was rather quiet at first, but Northern Pacific and the coal stocks became very strong, and marked activity was soon developed, the upward movement extending rapidly to the rest of the list. The advance was so rapid, bowever, that a material reaction took place before noon, and decided weakness was developed in Cotton OiL The market regained its tone after 12 o'clock and the strength began to show in the specialties, many of which scored handsome gains, while the upward movement in the active stocks was slow bnt steady. Toward the last hour realizing sales checked the progress of the advance, and fractional reactions were made all over the list, but the close was active and firm to strong at close to the best prices of the day. The list is almost invariably higher, and Manitoba and Wheeling fe Lake Erie preferred rose 2t; Tennessee Coal. 2'Jg; Lackawanna, 2; Jersey Central, 2; Wisconsin Central, l?g; Lake Shore, 14; Louisville & Nashville, lh; Reading and Northern Pacific preferred, 1 per cent,, and others fractional amounts. Railroad bonds wero dull, though .the number of issues traded in was much larger than usual. The only features of the day were the evenly distributed busi- ' ness and the generaUy firm tone. The sales were only $90C.O00. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were dull and steady.

The Up and Downs of the Market, with the Range in Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, Sent, 5. There was a continuation pf yesterday's dullness in the speculative market for wheat to-day, and in the absence of stimulating news or outside support the feeling was again quite heavy. That the pneo did not get below 787gc for December was probably due to the fact that a prominent local operator stood ready to buy. all the crowd would sell at that. It was a light, scalping deal all day, there being no outside orders either way, and no concentrated local buying. Early cables, though non-commital, were upon the whole bearish in tone. Closing quotations for futures were about so below those of yesterday, with trading conlined largely to December and May. Fluctuations were extremely narrow throughout, 4C covering all of the changes. A fair business was transacted in corn, and the feeling developed was firm, trading being at slightly higher prices. The strengthening factor was reports of frost last night in 60 me sections of the Went, and the market opened linn nt yesterday's closing prices, but soon sold otT lifro, offerings being large. Local 'longs' sold freely. A reaction followed the early declino and the market recovered, which was due to indications of frosts in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana to-night. The market fluctuated frequently within lie range, final quotations ueing 8C below yesterday. Oats were unsettled; reports of bad weather and the advance in corn bad a strengthening enect on tho market and induced liberal buying of May, which opened lie higher. For a time trading wasbrisk, but after buyers had been filled up weakness set in, and prices receded 1.4c, rallied ic, but reacted at the close. Early in the day a moderately active business was done in pork. Prices ruled somewhat irregular and averaged higher, closing at about medium fig tires. Only a small trade was reported in lard and the feeling was easy. Prices ruled .02Lj2.03c lower, and the market closed quiet at medium fignres. Trading was fairly active in ribs, and the feeling was somewhat unsettled and prices were irregular. Early the market was stronger and prices .02 V?? .05c higher, but . with moderately free offerings an easier feeling prevailed, and prices declined .07VJ.10c

and closed steady at medium figures. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Indianapolis, Sept 5. In most departments the cooler weather has favorably affected business. The dry goods men had a number of buyers in today, and mail orders were liberaL Tho boot and shoe men speak of their business as being excellent, and the leather-dealers 6ay that their trade was never bettor than for the last two weeks. Grocers are complaining a little of a quiet trade, failing to take in the fact that there are now thirteen wholesale groceries against eleven one year ago. One favorable feature with the grocers is the strong tone to prices. Coffees again have an upward tendency, and sugars stand firm. Then again better prices generally are realized than last year on goods sold, there being less of cutting. The hide men are still blue, there as yet no bright spot opening for that market, the failures in the East still unfavorably affecting it The seed men report their business brisk, CloTcr, and in fact all seeds, rulolirm. In tho produce markets there is a fair movement of goods. Peaches are in larger supply and lower; pears in better demaiid and firmer; apples plenty and cheap. The receipts of Irish and sweet potatoes are 011 the increase, and prices rule easier. Butter has got a backset on large receipts, aud Ioultryrules weak at quotations. Eggs, lowever, are firm and advancing in their tendency. Other markets are featureless. gkain. N .

Dig the potatoes as soon as practicable, provided tho soil is dry enough lor them to como up clean and without earth adhering to them. Put them in a cool place, wbero moderate air currents may pass up through them. We have for years used a cool apartment in a barn, with a slatted lloor next above the basement. T he air can pass up from below. In such an apartment they may be deposited three or fourf eet in thickness. If tho potatoes were clean when placed there they have never rot tod to any extent afterward, although nearly one-half of portions of the crop had to b rejected and left in the field when they were dug. In the absence of such an apartment different substitutes may bo adopted. They may be piled in moderate heaps in tho fields, if a stratum of rails and coarse brush can bo provided for the heaps to rest 011. 50 that the air may pass under for ventilation. The loose straw with which they are covered to exclude sunlight should bo about half a foot thick, not more, and be secured from blowing ott by loose brush. They may thus remain several weeks. i If dug when the soil is wet and adheres to them, and they are then nut in heaps without sufficient ventilation, tney will b seen to continue rotting, or if placed in cellars or any close apartments. In large boxes, with slatted bottoms, placed on tho north sido of a barn, and raised a foot or more from the CTound, they may bo kept cool and dry till November; and if somo earth has adhered to them, dashing cold water occasionally on them will tend to keep them cool and cleanse them, provided they 'havo enough ventilation to dry soon. The preceding simple treatment is much easier and more practicable than the use of sulphate of copper forspraying or otherwise, which, however efficient, has not been reduced sufficiently to a practical form for common adoption. Wear a Veil with I tee 5. Tb Agriculturist i A light veil 6hould always bo worn while at work in the apiary." This is tho rule of some of our oldest and most prominent apiarists, and no false pride should ever prompt tho youner apiarist to disregard it The eyes, for which an angry beo generally darts, aro too valuable to risk in such a careless isauner. Then, too. it gives a person a feeling of security and is often a necessity. A pair of rubber gloves, such as are kept in stock by all apiarian-supply dealers, should bo worn by all timid persons until they become' better acquaintcd with their "little pets." There is really no uso for the gloves if the operator moves quietly andslowl3 Of course, if one should hurt a bee, it would naturally resent it Gloves tend to make a person, to a certain degree, awkward, and considerably more liable to drop or jar a frame, which will arouse the "ire" of a colony of bees as promptly as anything we know of. "Worsted or wollen gloves are several times worse than none, as they irritate the bees, and a bee once "real mad" is a 'cross boo' for tho rest of its life. Where the Poverty I ft. Pittsburg Dispatch. One of the currents magazines has an article entitled "The Poetry of Poverty." The poetry of poverty may be a proper subject for magazine writing, but it is not so prominent a feature of the present day as the poverty of poetry. Farm Notes. To make a corn crib rat and monso proof line it throughout, overhead and all. with wire-cloth having meshes so small that these rodents cannot enter. This docs not impede the air circulation. A poultry keeper.states that all the bono and oyster shells in tho world will not prevent fowls from laying sotS-sbelled eggs. The remedy is to give Ices grain aud moro bulky food, and compel them to work and take exercise, A flannel caso about eight inches square, rilled with sand, holds the beat longer than a rubber hot-water bag. Inclose it in a muslin cover; heat it in tho oven, but not in contact with the iron, and havo another one ready as the lirst begins to cool. One of the simplest remedies for sleeplessness is to inhale slowly a series of deep breaths, counting them to Keep themiud on it; when other means fail to obtain sleep, try this. The severest attack of hiccoughs may bo stopped in tho same way. It is said that inflamed eves or lids will find relief in hot water.' Put a (inartof boiling soft water in a quart bowl: apply it with a folded napkin, wrung dry; hold it to the eyes with a dry napkin; repeat as long as water is hot Twice a day for a few days will be enough to relieve severe cases. To strengthen the eyes ndd two tablespoonfuls of table salt W. F. Drown, in Country Gentleman: I have learned, this spring, that strawberries can be made a week or ten davs later by mulching quite heavily, and leaving tho mulch on until late in the spring. This will enable the farmer to prolong the hcason of fruit if he will uncover a part of his bed early, and tho remainder ten days or so later. I think by following this plan it will enable you to havo berrien on tho tabid just about a month. Oxen aro serviceable on large farm. anl als6 in those sections where the roads aro nearly impassablo in winter, as tneycan travel where a horse cannot venture. They can be bred for tho purpose desired by judicious belection of the uest breeds for producing quick-draught oxen, the Devon breed being superior to any other. A Devon ox will bear tho heat well, travel at a rapid ait and endure fatigue. A cross of tho evon with large native stock also produces excellent oxen, if the male calves are retained for that purpose. Corn and pea9 are very hard to keep by ordinary methods, and where one succeeds twenty fail. Nevertheless, tho methods used by canneries is about as follows: Tho corn ia husked and then passed through tho cutting machines. Another machine removes all the corn silks, and tho corn is packed into tin cans by hand. The cans ar tilled with hot salt Avatcr, sealed. heat d and vented; the vents are closed, and the cans arehnally boiled in a steam-tight kettle for about forty minutes at a temperature of 24. degrees, more or less. The impossibilityof securing such a degree of heat is the reason why there are ko many failures in tho household. Twenty years ago a dilute acid was used to secure tho requisite degree of heat Four or five bours' boilinjj sometimes will do, but often er will not
