Wheat Trices Broken Somewhat by the ElTorts of Speculators to Realize. Unusually Heavy Easiness for the Clewing Day of the Week Corn a Little WeakerFork Values Decline Somewhat. MONET, STOCKS AND BONDS. Pre rare on Sn par and Atchison ContinuedHeat of the List Stronger. NEW YORK. Sept 28. Money on call was easy at 44 per cent, the last loan being made at 4, closing ottered at 4. Prim mercantile paper b2l'2 percent. Sterling exchange dull but steady at 4.8334 for sixty-day bills and &.SS for demand. J The total sales of stocks to-day were 100,906 shares, including the following: Atchison. S.112; Erie, S.8O0; Lake Shore. 2,465; Louisville t Nashville, 0.C2O; Missouri Pacific, 2,500; New Jersey Central, 2,420; Reading, 6,100; St Paul, S,717; Union Pacific, 4,225. s xhe stock market to-day presented little of the excitement of yesterday, and while the feeling was reactionary in the early trading and material declines from yesterday's figures took place, the recovery was full and decided at the close, and there were more advances than declines. The 'bears" renewed their pressure at the opening, and first prices were quite irregular, but generally lower, and the declines from last evening's figures extended to 34 per cent in the general list, while Manitoba, which displayed such marked strength toward the close yesterday, was down 1& per cent., at 11538. Sugar Trust and Atchison, of course, monopolized attention, and both were extremely weak under the pressure brought to bear, and Sugar, after opening Hoif, at 90, closed at 87. At that figure it met good support, however, and the decline stopped there. Atchison opened off M at33i4, and retired to S4. There was good buying on the declines, and it seemed for the most part to come from commission people, and when the decline, was checked these purchases were supplemented by liberal covering of "shorts," which soon brought the entire list Up to the neighborhood of the opening figures, including even Sugar and Atchison. The rest of the list, which, showing gome animation, especially in Louisville & Nashville, Heading, St Paul and some others, moved within narrow limits, and responded quickly to the buying. The bank statement, while it showed a fnrther loss in the surplus reserve, and brings the latter down to less than $1,000,000, seemed to have little or no effect upon the course of prices with the prevailing bullish feeling, and the final prices were generally the best of the day. the tone of tho market being strong. Manitoba recovered to 110, and is the only stock showing a decided change for the day, losing 1 per cent. The dealings in railroad bonds were quiet, as usual, ana without feature or interest The sales reached $414,000, and the tone was generally steady to tirm. the closing prices showing few changes of importance. Sales of bonds for the week, $4,803,000, against 14,221,000 last week. Government bonds were dull and barely steady. State bonds were entirely neglected.

The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the Range lu Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, Sept. 28. The volume of business transacted in wheat to-day was larger than usual for tho closing day of the week, though smaller than yesterday and on tho day before. Fluctuations were within narrower limit, and, after a S8X4C lower opening, tho market weakened a little more, and are raged most of the session fractionally Under yesterday's ruling figures. . Tart of the gossip received was that Duluth parties were buying wceat here, and that a prominent local operator was willing to help the crowd break the market if he could do so without selling any wheat. Foreign houses were said to be "on the fence" to-day. A general break of lG2o was expected by both the bulls and bears hero on the depressing outside influences. Tho selling pressure, however, was not especially heavy until late in the session, when realizing by "longs" became quite large and general, and December wheat broke to bc, May being carried down to 843ic. Final closing figures showed a net decline of 2'2S4C. ' Corn waa xnoderatively active at times, with the feeling developed somewhat easier.

A Week Closes To-Day in Thich the Volume of Trade Has Been Very Satisfactory. Indianapolis, Bept 28.. The week closes with the merchants in excellent spirits; their trade has been good the entire week, and as a rule steady prices have prevailed. In dry goods there has not been a fluctuation worthy of note. In groceries a slight weakening occurred in' sugar, which in fact was more in the way of adjustment than otherwise. Coffees have again taken on a steady tone, and staple groceries as a rule are tirm. Canned goods are still a problem as to their future. Tho New York Bulletin S3ys: "The policy of dealers this year has been so entirely different to that pursued in past years that many packers have been at a loss as to the best method for the conduct of their business. They have been accustomed to meet a rush of buyers in search of stock, and havo had matters pretty much their own way, but this year there has been a general holding back upon the part of the trade, and as a result tho packers to-day are doing tho carrying. The latter should understand, however, that the usual quantity of goods will be required this season, and as necessities dictate the will be called upon to supply them. When the goods are wanted buyers of course will endeavor to raako the best terms possible, but if packers will hold well together and maintain their ideas they will undoubtedly find a profitable sale for the goods that remain in their hands. They will gain nothing by attempting to force their supplies, bo they peaches, tomatoes, corn or. other staples, but by working in harmony and a -waiting tho requirements of consumers, they will assist in keeping tho market in & stable condition and prevent demoralization. The season's crops are nearly llnished now, and another few weeks will nd the work. In no instance has any large or excessive packing been done, and naturally no 'great surplus of any. of the various fruits or vegetables have been accumulated to disturb the situation later on. In fact, from all sections conies the report of light packs, this result going back to the opening of the canning season and tho packing of the first fruit strawberries." The produce markets havo been active for some days past and but little stock has accumulated. Poultry, which was a little off on Thursday and Friday, has taken on a firmer tone, and one commission man says that next week he will pay 820 for hens and chickens, while another says he will not pay but So and at the same time tends oat two eeU of quotations, ono being J cent Usher than the

other; but prices will range on Monday from 8 to S1. Choice butter is scarce and prices advance all alone the line Monday. Eggs, as well, are in light supply and will bring 16 cents for shipping and 18 selling from store.- Fruits and vegetables range higher than in tho early part of the week, but our quotations give about the range of prices. Other markets present no new features. CHAIN. The Indianapolis Market Report shows the receipts of wheat to-day to have ten 13,800 bashels.

Tbo rearing of ducks on a large scale is yet in its infancy, compared with that of other poultry. Tho profits are greater than can be produced from an equal number of chickens, and were the same amount of attention civen them that chickens receive, there would be more breeding them. If managed rightly we emphasize the words managed rightly because this is the fundamental point, foundation and cornerstone of every industry, more particularly poultry farming. When tho surroundings, requisites and facilities for good market are favorable, and the manager a man of experience, enterprise and foresight, there is no danger but a duck farm would pay handsomely on the investment. A person should havo experience in raising ducks on a small scale, know the best for production and market, and know how to feed and turn them to profit. The novice in duck cnltnre would hardly succeed so well, if at all. One should not be led to embark in the business by what he reads in some papers, for many statements are misleading and written oy enthusiasts who know no more of poultry culture on a large scale than a hog knows about phrenolog . The right person in tho right place would no doubt make a duck farm a success. There are not "millions in it," we wish 3ou to understand, but a fair percentage on the investment, perhaps much better than could bo realized from ordinary industries. Cheap low lands, with small streams or artificial ponds that can be cleansed - and renewed frequently in warm weather, and free from muskrats. minks or turtles, where grass and vegetation are abundant, and where it is convenient to a large city, or near good railroad transportation. This is about what should bo had for their successful cultivation. Tho capital required would depend upon the extent of tho farm and how many ducks yoa intend keeping. You should, of course, use a portion of the land to cultivate cereals, vegetables and root crops, raised for support of help and for the stock. Cattle, sheep and hogs may be added to assist in paying expenses. A part of the capital would return in six months, if everything were ready to commence operations in the spring. The expense for the incubators . and brooders would be the heaviest part of the outlay at tho beginning, and your stock of ducks, too, would be quite an item.

Nothing is ever accomplished in a short time that amounts to much; perseverance and constant work is the only true means of gaining prominence in any pursuit Exterminating Thistles. Philadelphia Record. This "king of weeds" is the most persistent and indestructible nuisance the farmer has to contend with. Bounties, penalties and strong elforts have failed to exterminate it, and it holds as firm a place as an enemy of the farmer to-day as ever. Of the hundreds of methods and remedies suggested for exterminating the thistle none nave proved reliable. The plant propagates itself, both from the root and the seed, and to destroy it not even a small piece of the root'shonld be left, as it seems to llourish and grow under the most adverse circumitanccs. It may be valuable to those who are battling with the thistle to know that in a series of experiments made under the direction of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, a plat was burned over by firing logs upon it until the upper soil was heated through to the hard-pan; another plat was burned over in a similar manner, and also thoroughly salted; a third plat was soaked down to the hard-pan three times with brine. The thistles were, as expected, completely destroyed in each. case. Such methods are, however, too expensive aud laborious. The roots of the thistles on another plat were found to extend three feet down into the ground, and the plat was plowed deeply six times from April to August, but in September thoN thistles came up vigorously, it is evident, therefore, that cutting off the roots will not destrov them. Plats that are burned over and salted, on the surface, were again covered with thistles, but in experiments made on poor land the thistles were killed by repeatedly plowing the ground. in a caso where the ground waajnfested with thistles the land was well plowed and worked lino with a harrow. Red-top grass was thickly sown, the land having been well manured with fine maunre, in order to hasten the growth of the red-top. The grass choked out the thistle, but the process failed on upper lands. On rich, sandy Jands clover extirpated the thistles, bnt clover and timothy failed on bottom lands.' It is conceded, nowever, that whatever will exclude the light and air from the thistle plant will destroy it, which may be done by plowing, if the roots do not go down deep, especially in a dry season. The grasses are the best means of destruction, and a dense sod is unfavorable to the thistle. Mowing will destroy thoseTparta of the thistle which have thrown out tlowering stalks, but does not affect the parts which have not done so, hence the proper time to mow the thistles is when they are in bloom. The sowing of a quick-growing crop, such as millet, will prove serviceable on some soils, and on stony soils sheep will be found of assistance. It is evident that in order to destroy thistles the farmer must not relax his vigilance in endeavoring to keep them down by labor. - The texture of well-ripened colden-rod honey ia not quite equal to clover, but thicker than the averago of what Is denominated the yield from fruit biocia the product of orchards and crdena,
