MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. Dull and Sluggish 3Iarket Iteliered by a Lively It rush In IMicenlz Mining: Stock. NEW YORK. Sept H.-Moncy on call was easy at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 50 per cent Sterling exchange -was quiet bat steady at for sixty-day bills and 4.834 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 73,506 shares, including the following: AtchiBon,2,75; Delaware Lackawanna & "Western, 1,000; Erie, 2,000; Louisville &, Nashville, 9.SC0; Missouri Pacific. 2.2G0; Northwestern, 2,115; Northern racific, 2,105; Northern Tacitic preferred. 5,200; Reading, ,100; St. Paul, 9,100; Union Pacific. 3,100. The stock market to-day was dnll, and the general list entirely uninteresting, the fluctuations in none of the list extending over a range of 1 per cent, while the heavy tone which prevailed from the opening almost to the close was more the result of professional selling than anything else. The sadden announcement of the new cut on rates by the Chicago, Burlington & Northern, together with the general expectation of an unfavorable bank statement to-day, led to a marked indisposition to trade, especially upon the long side, and while there was no pressure of stocks for 6ale outside of the short offerings of the traders, there was no demand, and the market naturally became limited and heavy, as usual under such circumstances. The opening prices generally showed declines of from to 3g per cent from last night's figures, and the subsequent dealings in the regular list developed no feature whatever beyond the moderate degree of animation in Louisville & Nashville, Heading and St. PauL Heading, however, reached its lowest price for the week. In the unlisted department the manipulation in Phoenix mining was continued, and the price was run up by rapid stages from 45 to 75, whence it reacted to CO and closed at 65. The close showed a little better tone, the decreaso in the surplus reserve being no larger than expected, and while dullness was the principal feature, the market was steady to linn. Eaflroad bonds were quiet and without special feature, and while a general firm tone existed there was considerable irregularity in the final changes. The sales reached $421,000. Sales of bonds for the week, $7,272,000, against $.5002,000 last week. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were neglected.

TRADING AT CHICAGO. 3 be Ups and Downs of the Market, with the IUntt Jn Prices of .Leading Articles CHICAGO, Sept. 11. Tho wheat market was strong and weak by turns to-day. Fluctuations in prices were not violent, and excitement did not run as high as on' some of the earlier days. The ouly cause for complaint was the lack of outside orders. Barring a little buying again to-day for account of New York, the business passing was almost entiiely local. Three or foar Chicago houses? took between them fully a million bushels of December, when tho price was around TUc. Most of tho news was again favorable for holders. A Minneapolis dispatch said an unusual number of cable orders for flour had been received, and tho foreign flour situation had improved. The h reuch government is said to have figured out an increase of 39.000.000 bushels of wheat in the crop this year as compared with that reported in ISJxJ. The strongest local feature settled down on a yield for this country of 4b0,000,000 bushels, which is the stock showing. Bradstreet's London correspondent says tho weather was bad for tho greater part of a month during harvest, and that probably 08,000.000 bushels, will be all that will be marketed, while 110,000,000 bushels will be reqnired. The close here for December and May was c above yesterday's latcet bids, with September. October and year whe lower. Corn ruled active and weak. Trading was heavy and fluctuations within V c range. The weakness was due almost entirely to the line weaiher for the growing crop. The market opened at yesterday's closing Ericea, was easy for a time, rallied Jo on

purchaso by shorts and a large local trade, but again became weak, selling oil' Jc, ruled irregular and closed feac lower than yesterday. Oats are quiet and easy, due to receipts exceeding estimates, and also to the weakness and decline in corn. The mess pork market attracted very little attention, trading almost exclusively in contracts for January. The feeling was steadier and prices rather favored sellers. Very little business transacted in the lard market. Market steady. Trading in short ribs was comparatively light and the feeling was steadier. Trices averaged a trifle higher early, but receded again and the market closed rather quiet. The leadiug futures ranged as follows:

Trade in the week closing to-day did not reach as largo proportions as in the first week in the month. This is due, doubtless, to the unusually warm weather which has been experienced the past week, yet tho dry goods men and boot and shoe dealers, in making comparisons with the corresponding week, 1S88, rind but little room for complaint. On most lines of dry goods firm prices prevail. Grocers had a fair week's business. The only fluctuation in values of importance was the advance of 2cent iu collet's. Both coii'et'sand sugars continue strong in tone, and are moving out fairly well. In the products markets the sale's weie numerous, but small orders, everybody seemingly buying to meet only immediate requirements. Fruits and vegetables decay so fast that the grocers are not anxious to carry any large quantity over from one day to another.no matter how cheap it may be oil'ered. The supply of peaches and pears through tho week was very limited and prices have ruled decidedly firmer, and on choice fruit considerably higher prices were realized. Kggs are still scarce and candled- stock readily briugs our quotations. Butter, if choice, is meeting with some better sale. Shippers are paving 7'372C per pound for hens and chickens, paying the highest figure only when they are obliged to, to secure the poultry one house, running two sets of quotations, one quoting at 7c per pound and the other 7tc Tho hide market is more active, but nothing en couragingcau be said as to an advance in prices. They are quoted so low now that whenever there is a change it will be for the better. Provisions drag a little, as usual iu September, prices ranging as for several days past. In a jobbing way less is doing than at anytime for some months. The dry weather Las checked trade somewhat with tho seed men. still they report business as being fairly active. Lemons are very scarce and higher than for many years in this market. In oranges but little Is doing. The market is overstocked with celerv, the demand being light this warm weather. Other markets aro featureless. GRAIN. The Ind&napolis Market Report shows the receipts of wheat to-day to have been 7.200 bush

Standing with a friend the other day, looking at a splendid growth of cabbages, : lie remarked: "I'm through with that cabbage for this year, and I am in hones of better luck than I usually have." On inquiry I lound he had never been successful with his cabbages, as they would not head well, though in the early part of the season they grow all right. I believe, however, that Ins remark f urnished the key to the difficulty. . He does not work his cabbage ; late enough in tho season. J have always had excellent success with cabbages since I learned that it is impossible to cultivato them too much. I never grow more than from 300 to 500 heads, and these I cultivate as often as I find spare time. If I have a little time I can take my "Daisy" wheel plow and go through tho patch, and if this is done three times a weeli until the middle of September, a good crop is almost suro to result. 1 do not care if it breaks otf a few of the outside leaves; it does not hurt the plants any, and in some parts of the country these loaves are removed as a part of the cultivation. One is not apt to put eabbago on too highly fertilized land, for there is no frosser feeder. A market gardener on ong island told me he frequently put seventy-live cart-loads of stable manure on an aero of cabbages. If the land lacks in fertility it is not too late yet in some sections to remedy the defect, and a coat of woll-rottcd manure spread over the ground and worked in will be of immense value to the crop. For this purpose 1 know of nothing better than hog manure; in fact, tho cleanings from the hog pen will show on any crop. Too often this part of the farm fertilizers is allowed to lie and rot in tho sun. Farm Horses. Western Agriculturist. Farmers can uso draft horses with greater economy in their business when they adapt their farm implements to the capacity of heavier teams. They seem to forget or 'fail to consider that the value of tho team is in exact proportion to its weight, if the largo team is equally well proportioned with the lighter, for plowing, harrowing, reaping, mowing and all heavy hauling, if they only adapt their implements to tho greater weight of their teams. If tho team weighs 1.000 pounds per horse, tho plow may cut eighteen inches and the harrow twenty feet, the mower and reaper in proportion; as well as for the 1,000-pound horses to use the twelve-inch plow and other tools in proportion, a heavy team may as well plow lour acres as a light one two and one-naif. A good draft horse can be raised to 1500 pounds as quickly and as cheaply as a grade steer of tho 6am e weight, aud will sell on the market for two aud one-half times the price, aud as promptly; will pay his own way from two years old on the farm. It is now too lato in our experience to say that such horses are not salable at any time, for cash. There is none left in any community where they have been offered for sale. No market in America has ever been supplied with them; 1,500 pounds sound horses, of any breed, will bring $200 in any State in this country at this time. Tbe demand for them will increase in proportion to the increase of railroads and general commerce forever. Cut straw as bedding for tho sheep keeps the dirt out of the wool, and nllbrds a dry place for the sheep at night. Tho shed iu which the sheep remain at night should be frequently cleaned in order to avoid accumulations of droppings. As tho fall rains approach, and tho weather remains damp, sheep easily tako cola, which is accompanied with discharges at the nostrils. Dry shelter and bedding will greatly assist in warding off this dihiculty.
