CONDITION OF THE MARKETS Big Trading in Wheat, with a Sharp Advance Eccorded on Nearly All Futures, Cera Palrlr JLiiTe and Somewhat Easier No Sew Feature in O-ts 3Iore Doing: in Mess ' Perk, with Higher Prices at the Close. MONEY, STOCKS AE BONDS. Lively Fluctuation in Few Specialties, bat Dullness in the General List. KEW YOKJC Sept 23. Money on call -was easy at 4S0 per cent., the last loan being made at ih closing offered at 5. Prime mercantile paper, 5"72 per cent. Sterling exchange quiet but steady at $4.834 for sixty-flay tills, and KS'Sifor demand. The total sales of stocks to-day -were 109,729 shares, including the following: Atchison, 11.S25; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 11200; Louisville & Nashville, CG.418 Heading 11.500; St Paul,10,lS0; Union Pacific, ciio. The stock market to-day was but little diflerent from those of the past two weeks, and while dull and stagnant for the great majority of stocks, a few specialties showed either great strength or weakness. The London market was remarkably strong this morning, and especially for Louisville Xas-ville, which it is believed the foreign pool intend to keep up until the 13,000,000 now stock has been taken. That stock was the feature of the forenoon, and in London was up 18 per cent, from last night's price here, and though it opened at at tdvance of only 34 per cent,, at 1. it wan forced up to 794, and held in that neighborhood throughout the day. Its actirity was by far the most remarkable feature, and it furnished nearly a quarter of the entire dealings in railroad shares. The rest of the market did not respond to the strength in Louisville, and Sugar Trusts, after opening down 34, retired to 972. the lowes price of yesterday, but afterward recovered the loss when the general market began to mend. The bears" brought considerable Iiressure upon the list in the forenoon, and Turlington, Lackawanna and Northern ' Pacific preferred were specially weak under the attack. . Tennessee Coal, however, was the one strong feature of the general list, and under what looked like pool manipulation it advanced from 5124, last evening, to 55I4, and then, on sales of only 1,000 shares, declined to 5i. As on vesterday, the rates for money were held nigh in the forenoon, but relaxed later in the day, and in the afternoon the ' bears" also relaxed their pressure upon the market, and a better tone was soon marked all around. The advances outside of the specialties. Jiowever, were only fractional, though Tnatcrial gains were made in " a few stocks, among which Manitoba was most conspicuous, jumping from lllLj to 115, the rise being acccompanied by a renewal of rumors of an advantageous alliance with some other road. Union Pacific was also a feature in the last hour, on the report of an increase in the net earnings for August of &27,7CC. The other specialties which showed great strength were Canadian Pacific, Denver, Texas & Fort "Worth and Milwaukee, Lake Shore fc Western preferred. The market quited down after delivery hour, and, while there was a slight recession from the best prices, the com was linn, generally at fractional gaius for the day. The final changes are ahn st all in the direction of hipher figures, and Denver, Texas fc Fort Worth rose 134; Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific each 1 J: Tennessee Coal and Louisville &, Nashville each 1. and Manitoba 34. ICailroad bonds were a li ttle more active, the sales reaching $74,000, but the Louisville. New Albany fc Chicago fives, which were the feature of the day, contributed $135,000 to the total. Tho market was generally steady, and the fluctuations outside of the bouds mentioned were confined to Fznall fractions. The Louisville fives opened at 10-24 and rose to 10G on large, transactions, closing at tho top figure, a train of Vi per cent. Government bonds were dull and heavy. - State bonds were dull and featureless. Closing quotations were: Four per ct. reg..,120VC., L L. & P 15 Four per ct. coup. 127VC., at. L. & P. rref.

There was a big speculative trade in wheat again to-day, though the volume of business was scarcely larger than yesterday. The market was erratic and full of surprises. For some time it looked like a "bear'7 market, and as though opening figures (S2c) for December was going to be the top. So general was the realizing that prices broke nearly a cent. Bat tho "bear" element did not press their luck, and before noon there was a rally of ic from inside figures. Later tho market experienced another substantial bulge, which carried December to 82Va Kc, and May to Si'ac. Cables were mixed. During the last half of the session a decidedly strong tone was developed, and prices reached their highest range, final closing figures being at the extreme top. September, October and nil the year mado a net gain for the day of JDftC and December and May of 34a7gC. Corn was moderately active and a shade easier. Trading was largely of a local character, though some outside country business was transacted in the way of selling October. The market opened at about yesterday's closing prices, was steady for a tini then sold off ic. ruled quiet and fluctuated but little, closing a shade lower than yesterday. Oats were quiet andsteady without new features of importance. More was doing in mess pork, with trad.'ng chiefly in November and January deliveries. The market was stronger, and prices 53 1C5 higher, and closed comparatively steady. Quite a good business was reported and the feeling was decidedly stronger inUrd. lrites were advanced .071'.10ct and .Uie appreciation was fairly well supported.

A Busy Day on Meridian Street Poultry, Coffee and Sugars Easier In Tone. IxniANATOLis, Sept 25. Seldom are the wholesale men on Meridian street as busy as they were to-day, especially the dry goods men. the boot aud shoe men and the grocers. In the produce markets, as well, there was a good deal of activity. Poultry rules a shade easier on increasing receipts, while butter aud eggs are in demand at our best quotation. Fruits and vegetables are in good supply, with steady prices prevailing, as a rule. Grocers say that the future of the sugar market is such that the less that is said about it the better. As regards coiTees, the New York Bulletin of the 24th says: To a folder of supplies awaiting a demand, any suggestion of unfavorable features naturally touches a sore spot, and the absence of particularly promising features on tho market for 'drazil grades of late has developed quite a grumbling spirit This probably should be modified sufiiciently to make it apply more directly to the bulk of supply,' as those who control wnat little there may be in the way of high grade carry in confident reserve for their regular trade, aud are measurably independent of tho general market A certain amount of pluck, however, is shown over even the less desirable goods, and it proves quite beneficial in preventing the impact 01 heavy amounts seeking an outlet, tne open offering continuing moderate. The market, however, is in a very dull condition at the moment, jobbing orders coming in moderately, and, so far as could be learned, nothing doing in invoices. Indeed, on the latter the efibrt at negotiation was limited and undemonstrative, buyers holding oft on account of tho drop in Exchange rates, and holders, not feeling certain that the latter would be moro than temporary, have, under the perplexity, remained quiet. We retain about former rates, but call them nominal." The iron merchants report trade good, and a tendency to higher prices all along the line, andthe hardware men are having a good trade. The; wool market rules firm and prices show no change, cither in this or tho Eastern markets. The Hour market shows more activity, and the tendencyis to better prices in tho near future. Other markets present no new features. GRAIN. There is a good demand for wheat for milling rnrposes at about the range of prices of some days past The corn market is sluggUh, arrivals only moderate.

It takes two men to do this work. One holds the vino down while the other one covers it with earth from near by. It is necessary to cover the whole vine so it will be protected against thawing during pleasant days which always come even in severe winter. When tho frost is out of the ground the vines ought to be taken up again, because in a wet spring the fruit-buds will rot when left underground. llousehold Hints. For poison oak or ivy bathe in cream and gunpowder twice a day till cured. To cleanse white zephyr shawls rub well with dry Hour and hang in the wind. Ink-stains are entirely removed by the immediate application of dry salt before the ink has dried. When the salt becomes discolored by absorbing the ink, brush it oil and apply more; wet slightly. Continue till tho ink is all removed. There is no economy in purchasing brown sugar. The moisture it contains more than makes np for the diflerence in price; but for some things, such as dark cake and mince pies, many cooks prefer it Granulated sugar is the purest and best for ordinary uses. Rose geranium flavor is nsed for any kind of loaf cake that has no fruit in it. Wash three leaves of geranium for each loaf, lay them in the bottom of the cake-pan and cover with buttered paper. On this pour the cake aud bake, fhe heat will canso the flavor of the leaves to penetratothe loaf. A room that had no closets was furnished with shelves by the clever hands of the housekeeper. fo tho under sides were fastened nooks, and a good substitute for a wardrobe was the result, with chintz curtains hung from shelf to floor. In ono case the shelf filled np a corner to great advantage, while others were seen in tho attic, protecting extra dresses, and furnished a resting place for bandboxes and bundles. In this season of grapes it is well to advise tho preservation of the juice unfermented, which is as easily done as auy line canning. A wad of cotton in the top of the bottle or can is very valuable. The pure grape juice is found very valuable in typhoid fever, a pint of juice to the quart of milk, daily. In severe cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever, even children have taken one to two pints a day with relish and lifeiviog effect In infantile diarrhoea, hyrocephalus and dysentery, also in cancers, it has been found almost miraculous. Ground bone is a fertilizer that benefits nearly all crops, can be applied at all seasons of the year, will not injure any tree or plaut, is permanent and lasting in its ellects, and is the cheapest form of fertilizer in proportion to tho benefit it imparts that can be nsed.
