Western Wheat Begins to Move at a Lively Hate and Prices Declined, Bears" Had it All Their Own Way Yesterday and Speculative Grain Reached the Bottom Figures of the TYeek. MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. TJDasuaUy Actlre Saturday Business on the New York Exchange. NEW YORK, Sept 7. Money on call was iasy at SZ? per cent, closing oflered at S per cent Prime- mercantile paper, 5VS7 percent Sterling exchange qniet bat' firm at for sixty-day tills, and HSS for He xnand. The total sales of stocks to-day -were 113,620 shares, including the following: Atchison, 23,170; Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western, 10,100; Louisyilla fe Nashville, 15,250: Missouri Pacific, 8,830; Northwestern, S.400; Reading, 10,600; Richmond & West Point, 8,200. Th stock market was unusually actiro and strong to-day, for a Saturday, and the dealings reflected something more than the usual traders' scalping. The news of the day. as a rule, was rather bullish, and the baying was of the best kind, and extended to a large number of stocks. There was considerable bear pressure at the opening, and the first prices were generally small fractions lower than last evening's closing figures, and Delaware &. Hudson was exceptional, with a loss of 1 per cent at 155. The coal stocks seemed to be neglected by their friends to-day, and while the general list is fractionally higher in moat cases to-night the coal stocks furnished the only marked changes in quotations, and they were in the direction of lower tigures. Tennessee coal made a sharp slump, dropping from 461? to 432, and only & portion of this drop was recovered. The pressure at the opening met with a good demand for stocks, and the temper of the market was soon changed for the better, and while C, C, C. & 8 1 JL. was specially weak, dropping from 75 last evening to 735g. The losses in the others were confined to small fractions. The reaction, however, was sharp, and a full and complete recovery took place, even C., C, C. & St Louis going back to its first figure. The rise was led by Rock Island, which rose to 1041 followed by Louisville & Nashville, which was the only one of the Southern stocks to ret any attention outside of Richmond t West Point while Missouri Pacific, Atchison and Wabash preferred were closo behind. The last-namad stock was unusually active and strong. The market quieted down toward 11 o'clock, and small reactions took place, but the issue of the bank statement with its marked increase in the surplus reserve started anew the bullish feeling, and many stocks reached still higher prices than during the first hour. The closo was active and strong at the best prices reached. Railroad bonds were also fairly active to-day, the sales of all issues for the two hours' session reaching $066,000, while there was no special activity except in the Ohio Southern incomes, which furnished $85,000 to the total. The market was in close sympathy with the trading in stocks, and a decidedly strong feeling prevailed throughout the session. Sales for the week were $5,062,000. against $5,612,000 last week. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were neglected.

TRADING AT CHICAGO. The Cps and Downs of the Market with the Range in Price of Leading; Articles. CHICAGO, Sept. 7. In the speculative branch of the wheat trade there was a continuation of yesterday's weakness, prices showing further depreciation. News was in the main bearish, and so was local sentiment The most important piece of news was a dispatch from Minneapolis, saying that owing to the failure of all but four elevators in that city to comply with the new law and thus become "regular," 1,000,000 bushels of wheat will disappear' from the stocks there in the next report Next in importance as a bear factor was the report of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, estimating the crop of that State at 5.000,000 bushels, or 10,000,000 in excess of the yield of 1888. Sellin g orders from the Northwest were received. Receiving houses here are getting orders to sell Kansas No. 3 red wheat in 60.000 bushel lots to arrive. There was a pretty large trade in the pit for Saturdav. Temporary strength was developed ealy by the covering of two or three large

ines of shorts,,, but the undertone was weak, and the "bears were in control most of the session. The net decline for tho leading futures was 312C. and closing figures were within a small fraction ol the bottom for the day and week. There was general liquidation by discouraged 'longs," and some selling for account of Eastern cities. Both public and private cables noted dull and easier markets. In corn a moderate speculative trade was transacted, and the feeling developed was weaker on September, while the other futures 6howed but little change compared with yesterday's closing figures. About the only feature was the free selling of September by a prominent local trader, which reduced the premium of that future, so that now it is quoted about tho same as October. ' Oats trading -was fair in May, but for other months very little business transpired. There were liberal buying orders for Ma at the inside and fair otlerings at the outside figures, and the market held steady at a slight decline. In mess pork considerable interest was manifested, and speculative trading was quite active, and almost exclusively in October and January deliveries. The feeling was somewhat unsettled and prices irregular, the former ruling 80c higher and the latter 712210o lower. The market closed at about outside figures for the former and inside for the latter. Lard A comparatively light business was reported, and the feeling was steady. Sales were made at about yesterday's range of prices. . In short-rib sides a moderately active trade was reported, and the market wa3 steadier. Prices ruled somewhat irregular, and averaged higher. The leading futures ranged as follows:

The Trade the first Week In September Very ( Satisfactory in Most Departments. ) ' IXDiAKAroLis, Sept, 7. . The wholesale men in most departments speak of the trade, of the' week- closing today as having been very satisfactory for the first week in September. The drygoods men have had a big trade, it being considerably in excess of that of the corresponding week in 18S8, the firm tone to prices tending to stimulate business. Grocers had an average week, sugars and coffees ruling etrong and steady, without any change in quotations. In fact, all staple groceries are firm and moving out well for so early in the falL Canned goods aro beginning to attract some attention. Prices, however, have hardly struck their level, it is thought In the produce markets there has been a fair distribution. Peaches and apples, on largo receipts, are lower, unless it be very choice stock. Melons in good condition bring better prices than a week ago. Eggs firm and in light supply. Butter plenty aud selling lower than in Wio early part of the week. Poultry, as well, is weak on large receipts. There are but few oranges on the market, and the demand is meager. Lemons are in light supply and tending higher in price. The provision market, on most descriptions, is easier, with a moderate demand. The Hour market is fairly active. Prices, however, are very unsatisfactory to the millers. Tho hide market shows a little more life, but prices fail to respond to the improvement Seed men report, trade good, tho recent rains having helped their trade. In other markets there is nothing calling for special mention. GRAIN. The Indianapolis Market Report shows the receipts of wheat to-day to have been 27,000 bushels.

'.- Disease Ainong Buss' . Iowa State Register. Many farmers bave little faith in the experiments of scientific men. They even doubt the benefits to be derived by agriculture from the national experimental stations established in each State. We bave a practical case. Prof. II. J. Waters, of the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, hearing that there was a disease among tho chinch bags of Kansas, determined to solve the question whether this bug pest could bo exterminated by spreading the disease artificially among them. So he sent to the Stato Entomologist of Kansas for half a dozen chinch bugs from among tho broods which were said to be infected by a mortal dssease, which was rapidly decimating the pest. "When received he scattered them among a large number of healthy bugs on the Missouri college farm, to see if the disease could be artificially introduced. The result proved entirely satisfactory, and it is safe to expect that these bugs can be conquered and destroyed, if the diseased ones can be had any time when the bugs are prevalent. So fatal and rapid is the disease, that on the third day after the diseased bugs were put out, a few dead ones were found, covered with the white mold, characteristic of the disease: At the expiration of tho eighth day they were dying rapidly, and a few days later they, were dying by thousands, and the contagion had spread over the entire field. And a few days later tho disease had spread to adjoining fields, though no effort had been made to aid in the spread of the contagion. Professor Waters claims that in a few days more the chinch bugs will be destroyed on the whole college farm. This is cheering news. This bug has been tho worst enemy the farmer has had to combat, and the millions of property it has destroyed would bo almost incredible if it could be correctly estimated. Prof. Riley estimated the damage done to the crops of Illinois by this bug in 1874 at not less ttr n nineteen millions dollars. And Mr. Dodk of the national Agricultural Department, estimated the chinch bug damage to the crops of the United States, in 1887, at sixty millions of dollars. And we have no doubt the darn a go in Iowa last year was over ten milliou dollars. The Missouri experimental station is experimenting how to perpetuate the vims of the disease through winters and for several seasons. The bug may disappear for a few years, in which case the disease may be exterminated, and may not appear agaiu at all, or even after several years of ravages it may be too late to save valuable crops. Hence the necessity to sav by some process, the. virus of tho ch - bug disease so that it can bo started agAin as soon as the pest appears.' It is to be honsd that station, or some other, will be able to master the situation. - A Cure for "Black Knot. The Voice. For the benefit of those who are trying to raise cherries, I will give my experience in cherry culture. About thirty years ago all tho old-fashioned sour cherry trees about here were killed with black knot. I had bought a building lot on which the cherry trees were killed and sprouts were growing around the dead trees. I transplanted several, and the black knot attacked them. I cat off the knots from the bodies and cut limbs a fleeted, and when a tree' as all cut away planted another.beiog determined to raise some cherries. One tree standing near my leach tub was so nearly destroyed that I had planted another near it and was going to cut it down, as one side from limbs to the ground was dead. I had scraped out the center which was soft with rot, Now I had an occasion to use some lye and put in about seven bushels of good maple ashes to get some strong lye. Irano? a couple ot pailfals and let the rest run into the ground at the roots of the rotten cherry tree, thinking it would kill it To my surprise the tree immediately began to grow and the side closed up aud the top grew with wonderfurrapidity without any black knots. Tho tree weut into bearing and bore the best cherries I ever saw, being very dark red when ripe, and not as sour as others near it, and we Kept it for table use for twenty years. I bave put wood ashes around all my cherry trees, and could buy them for 10 cents a bushel of my neighbors, and I consider them worth 50 cents a bushel to put on frnit trees of any kind. I next tried lye on the black knots where I did not like to cut off a branch, by winding a cloth around the knot aud soaking it with lye, which caused the knot to stop spreading and settle down, and finally heal over. I found ashes did more good by washing the trees with a swab, using moderately strong lye, than by putting them on the ground around the trees, but would recommend both ways. I have about seventylive trees in various stages of growth, from old to young trees. If any ox the readers of this article have an old apple tree that is played out, but not rotten, let him, after a good rain, take a scraper and scrape oft the old dead bark, cleaning the tree and limbs well; then tako a pail of moderately strong lye. get up into toe tree and wash all the limbs having rough bark, and as much df the other limbs us he can reach, scrubbing down the body well, aud putting a load of manure under the tree as far out as the limbs extend, and he will be both surprised and delighted with growth and fruit. 1 would recommend all fruit-tree growers to apply lye once a year to all their trees. Ventilation of Milk-Booms. National Stockman. -' The ventilation of 'milk-rooms' is generally even less philosophical than that of stables. The end sought in tho two cases is entirely different, and tho provision for a strong current or draught of air is as uncalled for, and even, injurious, in tho one case as it is indispensable in the other. It seems to be forgotten that currents of air only reduce the temperature in proportion as they cause evaporation, and this is just what the dairyman docs not want It dries the curd of the milk into Hakes, which adhere to the cream, producing what are known as "flecks," those very undesirable white specks in the butter. We repeat that air in the milk-room, unlike that in a livingroom, does not require to be constantly or even frequently changed, audit exerts a far better influence if left undisturbed, especially in warm weather. Milk rooms, therefore, should be ventilated only from above, and one opening is sutlicient for all practical purposes. Were the prevalent notion true (which it is not) that the air in such a room is likely to become pernicious in some of its influences, the opening of the doors several times a day would dispel all such influences. That it is desirable so to ventilate the room as to evaporate the moisture in and around it is another fundamental error. - A quantity of water or ice upon the floor exerts a cooling idfluence just in proportion to the evaporation produced, as wo have already said, ot the current of air. but it is not aesirablo to cool one portion of air and at once drive it off, do be replaced by another drier and warmer portion. Such an operation might well be called an attempt to cool "all out doors" Instead of tho milk ing-roora alone. The moisture of air iu tho milk-room is not in any respect unfavorable to the production of cream and butter.
