An Upward Tendency in Grain Values and Yheat Gains Over a Cent Corn and Oats Show Strength Not Founded on Svrjjpathy Alone Fair TraJinjf and Little Excitement on the Advance. MONET, STOCKS AND BONDS. Hardening of the Eastern Money 3Iarket Begins to Affect Speculation. NEW YORK. Sept. 18. Money on call was easy at SS6 per cent., the last loan being made at 3, closing offered at 2L. Prime mercantilo paper, 517 per cent. Sterling exchange was quiet bat fairly steady at $1.844 for sixty-day bills and $4.88 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 156,410 shares, including tho following: Atchison, 5,550; Delaware, Lackawanna &z Westem, 5,581; Louisville fc Nashville, 4.910; Missouri Pacific, 6,185; Northern Pacific preferred. 2S,C00; Reading, 15,000; St. Paul, 18,210; Union Pacific. 3.700. The stock market was again quite dull, while its temper underwent & change from strong to weak, and while fluctuations were still confined to the smallest fractions in most of the list, tho final changes are generally in the direction of lower figures. All the speculative interest seemed to be concentrated in Northern Pacific preferred and St. Paul, and the advertisement inviting the stockholders to join in patting through the funding scheme did much to make the first named a leader. St. Paul was adversely afiected by tho uncertainty of the rate situation in tho West, as were all the granger stocks, and its tine showing of earnings for the second week in September fell llat from that cause. About the only other prominent movements in the market were advances in Tennessee Coal and the weakness in Cotton Oil. The strength of yesterday lasted over until this morning, and the opening was made at advances extending to 2 per cent, in the general list and 1 per cent, in 'Northern Pacific preferred. This was for tho most part dno to heavy buying for foreign account at the start, and, except the riso of 1 per cent, in Tennessee Coal, the further advances were confined to fractional amounts, even in Northern Pacific preferred. The last named stock soon reacted, and before noon the rest of the list followed, realizations being invited by the high prices of the forcnoon and tho hardening rates for money inducing further bear attacks. When well into the afternoon the downward movement became more pronounced, and moro animation was shown in the weak stocks, with Northern Pacific preferred, St. Paul and Cotton Oil leading the decline. The weakness in the last named is said to be due to an effort to market a block of the stock. The market again dropped into intense dullness, and finally closed dull and weak at about the lowest prices of the day. Tne unlisted department contributed 20,513 shares. The final changes of the day are for fractions only, and declines are in the majority. Railroad bonds -were dnll and, while rather firm in the forenoon, became weak with the share list later in the day, and most of the important tinal changes are in the direction of lower prices. The sales were only 825.000. of which the Milwaukee, Lake Shore A Western extension lives contributed 150,000, being tho only active issue on the list. Evausville & Terre Haute consols lost 4, at 119; Louisville, New Albany te Chicago firsts 2, at 117; San Francisco fives 2. at 104, and South Carolina first, 22, at 04.

Tho wheat market was more active and stronger with tho undertone decidedly bullish and the feeling nervous. Fluctuations were again narrow and trading to a large extent local, though there was more buying for foreign account reported both here and at New York. Opening figures here for the leading futures were above yesterday's closing, and by noon the market had gradually climbed up another 12C, or to 79Ljc for December and S3V283140 for May. No excitement attended the advance, for tho news that came over the wires was so favorable to holders that a higher range of prices was inevitable and the local scalping crowd were not long in shifting to tho bull side. Speculative offerings wero at no time large. Outside markets were all stronger. New York and St. Louis averaging nearly lc higher, with cash wheat in St. Louis doing better. This was one of the strongest features of tho market here to-day. At no time during the day did Trices get oelow outsido quotations of yesterday, and the final closing range was at the top, being $cvHq higher for the day. A fair trade was reported in corn and the feeling prevailing was somewhat firmer. The market opened a shade better than tho closing yesterday, was steady for a time, then advanced yc, eased oil' c, ruled firm, and closed laSsc higher than yesterday. There was a littlo more bullish sentiment on the near futures; still there was considerable selling of October around 3340, and also May at oi1sc The better tone was influenced some by the advanco in wheat, and also the moderate estimated receipts and cold weather. Transactions were mainly local and lluctuatious narrow. The feature of thooats market was the strength and advance of 4C iu the near futures, due to an increased demand from "shorts" and light otlerings. Tho more deferred futures were quiet and a shade firmer. The trading was only moderate in mess pork, and the feeliug was easy. Prices exhibited very little change. Trading was chieily in November and January. A light trade was reported in lard. Prices without material chtfnge. There was only a moderate trade in short ribs. Prices exhibited very littlo charge. Leading futures ranged as follows:

'.' .Trade Steadily lmjrovhijr I'oder the Favorable Weather Conditions.. iNDIANAroi.IS Sept. .8. ilerchants report a decided improveiv'-ut in business the last few days, tho v: weather doubtless having much to do tho iinj)roveniciit. while on all lines uf goods lirm prices prevail. Dry-.oods men report a number of huycrs in to-day, and that they purchased .bills which showed that they looked for a brisk fall trade. Root and shoe men, as well, were quite husy. Grocers are having only Vfuir trade. A belief prevails among tho retail men that coii'ees and sugnrs, inthe not distant future, are to he lower, and they purchase onry to meet immediate requirements. Then the scarcity of sugars is such that tho wholesale men do not press sales. The lightness in supply, it is believed, is only temporary, and has not as yet attected an advance in prices. Druggists are having a goodrado, and prices on most articles rule, strong. The hide moil are quite husy, but doing work for small pay, bo low are prices. Iu the produce markets there is a good deal of activity. Fruits of all kiuds aro in lighter supply and iirmer. unless it be grapes. Vegetables as well, are firmer in tone. Eggs and poultry aro both in stronger position than last week, on a lighter supply and increasintr demand. Seldom are eggs as scarce as at this season of the year, and there is no indication of an early break in the market. Butter is still plenty and cheap. The millers report the demand for Hour as having improved, but prices continue disappointing. In other markets there is little new to note. ' GRAIN. The local wheat market took on a little better shape to-day. and on 'Change tho bidding showed that a stronger feeling prevailed. The report of a stronger market elsewhere helped matters as well.

St. Ixrals Republic After tho corn-cutting is finished np and tho fall wheat, rye and grass seeding is done, there is nearly always more or less time before com fathering that can be nsed to good purpose iu fall plowing. While it is important that the com should be cribbed as early in the fall as the work can be done, it is not a good plan to commence cribbing until the corn is sufficiently dried to be cribbed without danger of boating. Spring work is always pressing. On most farms, in the spring, there is much to be done and it is very important that all tho work 6bould be done in good season. For this reason it is quit an item to get as much done ahead as possible. In .order to obtain the best results it is necesary that grass seed and oats should be sown in the spring as soon as tho soil is in lit condition to receive the seed. In most cases the earlier-planted corn makes tho best growth and will give the largest yield, so that it is an item to get tho work done as soon as possible. One of the principal advantages in fall plowing is the time saved in the spring, in tho preparation of tho soil for the reception of the 6eed. In many cases a few days saved will enable the work to be done in cood season, and this saving mav be doubled in case of bad weather coming on. So that the advantage in time saved is sufficient to mako it protitablo to plow all tho land possiblo in the fall. Another advantage is that if the land is plowed in the fall and care is properly taken to do tlie work of running out furrows so that thorough drainage is supplied, the soil will dry out and warm up early, and be in a better condition to prepare in a good tilth for seeding than if left undisturbed. With grass and oats this is a very important item, as usually, with the frost coming out of the ground and the spring raius, the soil is full of moisture, and good drainage is an important item. During the winter, on the maioritv of farms alter the corn is all cribbed and tho fall plowing done, there is but little to do outside of getting up the 'necessary supply of wood aud feeding and caring for tho stock. And. while this may require considerable work, there is always more or less time that can bo used to good advantage in hauling out and scattering manure. Other things Deing equal, the largest benefit can be derived by scattering broadcast, direct from the wagon on plowed land. The more soluble portions will be taken up by the soil and bo retained much morelully than iu unplowed laud, and the crops, will derive greater benefit from the application. A still further advantage is in placing the soil in much better condition to be benefited by the action of the air, sun, rain and riiow. And, w hile it is not a good plan to have a naked fallow for anv length of time in summer, a considerable benefit may bo derived by thorough plowing in the fall and allowing it to be exposed. This is especially the case when tho soil has been plowed deeper than before, or new soil is turned up for the tirst time. There is always more or less plant food inle soil that is in an unavailable condition, aud fall plowing aids materially in bringing this into a condition to be used. Sjo that, considering all the advantages, it should be made an Item to plow all the land intended for .faring crops in tho fall, and as early as the work can well bo done. Clematis. Vick's Magazine. " Too much cannot be said in favor of this most popular climber. Indeed, next to tho rose, it bids fair to become the popular flowering plant of the day. Not onlvare its llowers unique iu appearanco, embracing a great variety of color, but they afford constant pleasure, the more so since, if different varieties aro cultivated, one need not be without their bloom the entire season. It has also the merit of being entirely hardy, a rapid climber and most profuse bloomer. I have seen them, in the larger varieties, covered entirely by their mass of bloom, presenting a sight captivating in tho extreme. The colors embrace the most beautiful tints of bine, purple, lavender, scarlet and white: some of the flowers iu the larger blooming varieties being quite six inches or more in diameter, and very showy. "With careful training a strong plant will attain to a considerable height the first season, often covering an entire frame or trellis, and whether trained over lattice work or pillars, or left trailing upon the ground, their large, star-shaped flowers are produced in the greatest numbers from the last of May to October. Old rock-beds are a capital place for this rapid climber, and several varieties planted together and clambering over the rough surface of tho rocky heap will soon turn it into a gorgeous mass of rich bloom. If barbed wire in used to confine hogs it need not be very high. The bottom wire should be about four inches from the ground ; and tho next wire ten inches above it. If sheep are ii closed the strands should be six , inches apart for three feet from the ground, as It requires a close wire fence to confine .Rheen.. .,. . .
