Dull and Comparatively Characterless Buslnesi at the New York Exchange. NEW YORK, -Sept. 21. Money on call was easy at 4 per cent. . Prime mercantile paper, SGI? per cent. Sterling exchange quiet and weak at $4.84 for sUty-day bills, and $4.872 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day -were 73,010 shares, including the following: Atchison. 2,340; Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern, 3,200; Lake Shore, 1,050; Louisville fc U Nashville. 3,120; Missouri Pacific. 2,510; Northwestern, 1,500; New Jersey Central, 2,410; Northern Pacific. 1,900; Northern Pacific preferred, 8.R39; Reading, 2,400; St. Paul. 7.00O: Union Pacific, 2,ftj0. - The limited character of tho stock market was again demonstrated to-day, and outside of the coal stocks and Sugar Trust there Nvas no movement of interest, although Northern Pacific preferred, Louisville & Nashville and St. Paul supplied most of the business. The opening was weak, with the "bears" and traders still celling, though there was a full demand for the onerings. Jb irst prices were generally from S to a per ccni. lower tbau last cvenine's figures. and Suirur Trust was otf 34. An official denial of the intention of the company to issue . any bonds or to increase the stock of the company, in any way was telegraphed to the secretary of the8tock Exchange, and the announcement of this fact led to covering by the shorts." while there was lively bidding up of the price upon them, aud the stock rose 2 per cent, from its opening figure, retiring all but 34 at the close. The coal Stocks became the special feature of the daj and Jersey Central scored another advance, to 122, which was 1 per cent, higher than it attained yesterday, but it could not hold all of the improvement. The New York,. Susquehanna & Western stocks came into J prominence, anu xne prexerreii inaue a material gain toward the close. Northern Pa cific preferred, together with Louisville fc Nashville and St. Paul, became quite active, and the first named rose to 74 a gain of 12 per cent, over its lowest price, and Louisville advanced to 7778. The unfavorable bank statement, however, caused some reaction, and tho best prices were not maintained at the close, which, however, was firm at the figures. Susquehanna &. Westernpreferred shows a final advance of 1 per cent., but all the others were for small fractions only. Kail road bonds were fairly active dnring the session, and, like stocks, showed a firm, tone throughout the hour. The changes in quotations were small aud generally insignificant. The Kansas & Texas issues were again the feature, but their net gams were not important. The sixes, however, were specially active, and contributed $109,000 to the day's total of $487,000 The sales - of bonds for tho week were only $4, 221,(410, against $7,672,000 for the last week.Government bonds were dull "and weak.

To-day's trading in "wheat ruled rather dull, but tho undertone was decidedly linn. News was scarce, and as the market got pretty well evened up in the shufile, ycsterda3 the crowd was disposed to await developments. Outside business was next to nothing. Opening figures were about on a level with yesterday's close, and, in a short time, the market stirTeued up 3c, December going to SOb aud May 83ic. The most important ball news received here was a Minneapolis dispatch saying that Canadian millers had advanced their buying prices for wheat 68o per bushel in Manitoba, and that some of them bad recently been getting supplies at Toledo. Under the influence of this news and the reported working of 100.000 bushels more hero for export, the market took on decided strength late in the session, and during the lasttwenty minutt-a a lively trade was witnessed, and the best prices of the day were attained. Final closing prices showed a net gain ofs Corn was moderately active and. easier arly, but tinner as the session advanced. TliMre movement created . considerable market opened a shade under yesterday's

closing prices, was easy and declined li c, ruled activo aud firm, closing at Jc lower than yesterday on near futures aud c higher on deferre'd futures. Oats were fluiet and easier with the bulk of the trading in May. A fair number of buying orders for that mouth were on the market at 22c. and all otlerings at that figure were readily taken. Alight business was done in pork and the feeling was rather easy. Prices ranged about the same as reported yesterday. A quiet and dull feeling prevailed in lard and prices ruled easier. Trading was light in ribs and the feeling was easy without much change in prices. The leading futures rauged as follows:

The trade in the third week of September has been decidedly better than in either of tho preceding weeks of the month, and considerably in excess of the corresponding week last year. The cooler temperature of the last four days helped business noticeably, and if fall-like weather will continue the volume of business in all departments will doubtless reach very satisfactory pro- . portions. The dry goods men seldom experi- : enco a larger business in Setember than in the week closing to-day, and prices carry, as a rule, a very linn tone. Grocers have had amoderately active week; the volume of traffic with them this month has averaged well with former years. The strong tone to prices has tended to stimulate their trade. The provision men speak of business as being very quiet, but this is not unusual as their financial year nears its close. The , Outlook now is that fanners will have to sell their hogs low, but they have plenty of corn, say the packers, and must make up the deficit in price by increasing the weight of their hogs. The produce men have had a fairlv busy week. Apples, pears and peaches, with the cooler weather and light er arrivals, have taken on a very iirm tono and are considerably higher than a week ago. Cranberries aro selling better with , the cooler weather, and prices are higher. Irish potatoes are in light supply and higher. Sweet potatoes aro in fair supply and steady in price. Watermelons and nutmeg inolons are in light demand and selling low. Lemous are ntill high on light receints. Oranges are selling slow, but there are onlv a few on the market Hides are active, and indications aro for an improvement in prices. Poultry, eggs and butter are all iirm at quotations. Other markets featureless. GRAIN. The Indianapolis Market Report shows the receipts of wheat to-day to have been 9,000 bu.

American Analyst A physician, writing on the food necessa-. ry to give strength and sustenance, says tnatif a person uses up his brain faster than he makes it be soon becomes nervous and irritable. If he does not assimilate enough food to 6upply its demand his mind is sure to become weak. Tho healthiest and strongest individuals even should eat a far greater proportion of meat than of vegetable food. Beef should be taken as tho standard meat. It answers every purpose of the system. . Veal and pork are not as easily digested. Pork, so far as its composition goes, is an excellent food, for nervous persons, but it is not readily digested. Yet. in the armyJ we used to think nothing better for the wounded men than bacon. As a rule, salt meat is not adapted to the requirements of the nervous individual, as nutritions juices to a great extent go into the brine. The flesh of the wild birds is more tender and moro readily digested than that of domestic ones. This is accounted for by tho greater amount of exercise they take, thereby renewing their llesh more rapidly and making it younger than that of birds which lead a moro quiet life. This is a suggestion that might be of benefit to women of sedentary habits, who are desirous of prolonging an appearance of youth. Fish of all kinds is a good food for the nervously inclined. Raw eggs, contrary to the general opinion, are not as digestible as those that have been cooked. A notion lias been Srevalent that many persons injure 'their igestion by eating too much. The fact is that most people don't eat enough. There are more people killed every year from insutUciency ot nourishment than by overloading their stomachs. Many of those who do eatja sufficient quantity are prevented from disease by digesting enough for tho economy of their systems. The very first thing for any one to do who has exhausted himself by mental work, or who has been born weak and irritable, is to furnish his brain with sufficient nourishment either to repair tho damage it has sustained or to bnild it into a strong, healthy condition. People in this condition usually sufler from nervous dyspepsia. Their stomachs are unable to perform the labor of assimilation. Owing to the deficient nerve power of the individual the food lies in the stomach unacted npon by tho gastric juice, because there is none or the quantity is insufficient to have any power. Food, instead of helping to renew the body, and tho nervous system with the rest, undergoes fermentation, and the body and brain it should nourish may starve. The person is in a worse state than if the food has not been taken, for the fermentation generates acids and gas. Nervous individuals may derive all the fat they need from sugar and starch. It is better, however, lor those with weak digestive organs, or whose nerves are in a highly sensitive state, to get it from tho animal kingdom than compel their enfeebled stomachs, intestines and pancreas, to create it out of these articles. Good bread, sweet butter and meat are the best foods for the nerves. People troubled with insomania, nervous starting from sleep and sensations of falling, can often be cured by limiting themselves to a diet of milk alone for a time. An adult should take a pint for a meal, and take four meals daily. People with weakened nerves require, usually, a larger quantity of water than those whose brains and nerves are strong. It aids in the digestion of food by making ft soluble, and seems to have a direct tonic effect. With proper eating and drinking, we should have fewer broken-down, nervous wrecks, and far more vigorous intellects. The present human species cannot eliminate nosh from its food and amount to a row of pins. The fancy that nothing but vegetables should be eaten is apt to overtake everyone somewhere in life. It is due to some disorganization, and usually passes away with the disturbance that created it. mlm. I lo w to Best. Interview with a Physician. In the progressive tendencies of the American people, the subject of proper rest plays a very small part. The idea seems to prevail among them that rest may be takeu at any time, and in almost any manner, provided there is nothing more important to do. Only this morning a lady consulted me in regard to her health, complaining of a tired feeling, being scarcely able to attend to her duties; and all that. I diagnosed the case, bnt could discover no symptom of disease. She was simply suffering from want of proper rest. I told her what troubled her, and no doubt she went away convinced that 1 did not understand her case. A man or woman, particularly the latter, will become tired, and being firmly convinced that everything will go wrong if she stops work, busies herself with some other occupation, or, if exhausted, will throw herself in a chair or upon a lonnge with a book or paper, and try to restore strength in that way. This is not rest. It only creates a longing for it. .The true way is to lie at full length upon a mattress, or any equally hard surface.no pillow, with armscxteuded and eyes closed. Dismiss for the time all 'care, and seek only rest. This will bring to an exhausted body the refreshment and contentment which no amount of medical advice or skill can produce." Keeping Sweet Potatoes. Western RaraL We would say to a correspondent who inquires about keeping sweet potatoes that they can be kept for several months in an ordinarv cellar if he is careful in handling them. They should be thoroughly dried before being put away, and so carefully handled as not to bruise them. The drying may be done in the sunshine, spreading them out carefully so that the sun can get at them and carefully covering them at night so that the dews will not get ou them. Or they may be dried in a kiln. For family use drying in tho sunshine would of ceurso be the cheapest and would answer all purposes. The cellar ia which they are kept should be dry. and it is better when possible to so put them away as that the air can have free access through them. Professor Sheldon, oue of the great agricultural college authorities, now comes forward to disturb our old faith in tho value of hauling manure to the field as fast as it is made, lie says it should be only handled in the spring otherwise the loss of manure is sure to be very great, the waste in the course of six months amount iug to fully one-half the gross manme, aud nearly 40 percent, of the nitrogen which it contains.
