NEW YORK, Oct 1. High rates for money on call continued Tery stringent in the Stock Exchange to-day, and large amounts were loaned at the rate of 10 to IS percent per annum. Late inthn afternoon small loans were made at 6 per cent, and just before the close it was oilered at 7. The engagement of $300,000 in gold caused much apprehension, but no further shipments are expected, as exchange is far below the gold shipping point. Prime mercantile paper 5l'3li per cent. Sterling exchange quiet and weak at $4.634 for sixty-day bills andL8734 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 193,746 shares, including the following: Atchison. 25,220; Lake Shore, 5,375; LonisYille t Nashville, 6,1(35; Manhattan, 11,205; Heading, 0,420; St Paul, 2,465; Union Pacific, 7,373. The stock market maintained about the same rolume of business to-day in the regular list but the unlisted department was ranch less active, while the weak stocks of the past few days were more quiet, and moved within comparatively narrow limits, and the range of prices in most stocks' was extremely smalL There were few features of interest in the transactions, but considering the high rates exacted for money the market was remarkably well held, and shows conclusively that 6trong hands are in possession of tie stocks in this market Money on call to-day loaned as low as Cand as high as IS, but there was a decidedly easier feeling at the close of business. The dealings to-day were small outside of those of the professional element, and while London houses were sellers to a limited extent, Chicago people wero doing almost nothing, and the traders were bearish for a turn. There was no pressuro to sell in any portion of the list, and while the traders did some hammering, they brought out very little stock, though there was again some liquidation, induced by the scarcity of money, and the engagement of $o00,000 gold for export had, for a time, , a depressing effect upon prices. Atchison was still tho central figure in the market, and although the covering of "shorts" in the stock has been very heavy during the past few days, the "short" interest is still of respectable proportions, and to-day the stock was sold on the advances and showed evidences of support on the declines. It is said that a large speculative interest has begun to buy it for a turn, but the principal reason for a steadier tone to-day was the payment of the October interest The Coal stocks were not so strong, and Jersey, after selling up to 131, settled back to 1272 on the marketing ot a block of stock. The grangers were attacked upon the report of the Burlington for August which was not so favorable as had been expected. Manhattan was the one positively strong feature of the day, and it rose to 105 and closed at 105, on what appeared as manipulation. Pullman was also specially strong on Western buying, and the remarkably good statement of the Louisville & NashviUe did much to support that stock. The export of gold was inexplicable upon any grounds known to the street, and no explanation was to be had at tho banking house which ordered it, and tho eflect upon tho market was depressing in the extreme. The opening prices were generally lower, tho declines from last evening's prices extending to 8 per cent, and while the first few min utes saw a declining tendency in prices, led by Atchison, a lull and decided recovery took place, with Manhattan leading the upward movement. The reactionary tendency appeared as money crept up, and in the afternoon all the early gains were lest, the grangers being the special point of attack, and Manhattan dropped 2 per cent Toward the close a better feeling existed, as money gave signs of easing up, and the close was dull but linn, though still at small fractions below tho opening prices. The list is generally lower to-night but there are no important declines, while Manhattan rose 23 and Pullman 2 per cent The trading in railroad bonds was still smaller than the limited business of the p.st few days, reaching only $000,000. Tho market was steady to firm, as usual, and tho changes in quotations coufiued to the same narrow limits. Iron Mountain Arkansas sevens rose 2 to 106k. Government bonds were dull and steady to nrm. State bonds were dull and 'steady. Closing quotations were: Four per ct. reg.,127 JC, St. L A P, 15 Four rer ct. coup. 127 C.

THAD1NG AT CHICAGO. Til Ups and Downs of the Market, with the Range In IT Ices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO. Oct. 1. Wheat after a barely teady opening, again advanced" about lc before noon, where it hung for some time. The smaller class of traders were all pretty well loaded at the start, and as tho bear element was quito conservative iu their movements, holders. showed no disposition to weaken. There was at no time, in fact, any pressure to sell, and the market rallied well from all weak spots notwithstanding the increased interior movements and fine weather everywhere. Half an hour or so before the close there was a substantial reaction and some of tho early improvement was lost Tho weakness at tho finish was due to depressed late private cables and the free selling here by New York parties. The last bids were c under yesterday's closing and l l4c oil from the best prices of the day. A good business was done in corn, which was easy early and later somewhat firmer, but reacted some with wheat The market opened rather weak at about yesterday's closing price, was easy and sold off 4c. Ofierings of October were quite liberal, about 2,000,000 bu being delivered on contracts. It closed a shade lower than yesterday. Oats were quiet and steady and without features of interest. Trading waa only moderate in mess nork and tho feeling was steadier, except for October delivery. Outside of October prices were advanced 5-310C, but not supported to the close. There was not much doing in lard and the feeling ws steadier. Prices ruled ,02co better and ;he market closed quiet Jn ehcrt ribs the inquiry was moderate and crcrinci rather light Fcclizj ct:-dy.

The Month's Business Opens Under Favorable Conditions, with Steady Prices. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1. The feeling generally is that business seldom on the first day of October is as promising as this year, the abundant crops, the easy money market and tho steady tone to prices all contributing to such a belief. In prices to-day there were no fluctuations. A number of buyers came iu on the forenoon trains, and mail orders for the first day of the month were fairly liberal. Both coffees and sugars rulo steady, and indications of a further break in the sugar market have lessened the last day or two. Canned goods are attracting more attention, bnt as yet prices are in an unsettled state. The packers all talk high prices. There is a good holding yet of last year's stock of canned goods, and until these are disposed of tho attempts oi tho packers to spring prices are likely to prove futile. Hog products are firmer, and there is inoro doing in a jobbing way the last few days. 1 he ircn and hardware markets are active, with prices advancing on num erous articles. The Hour market is much better in tone; however, no marked advanco in prices nave been established. Other markets to-day present no new features.

Smut of "Wheat and Oats. Purdue Experiment Station Bolletin. There are two well-defined kinds of smut in cereals: ono iu which the head is mostly changed to a black dnst and another which shows only upon the kernel being broken open, when the usual contents are found to be replaced by a black, unctnous powder. Although these two kinds are quite as distinct in relationship as in habit, and are readily distinguishable by every one. tho Eame common name is usually xuado to do service for both. A strong and disagreeable odor, not un like that of rotten eggs, is exhaled from the crushed berry when fresh, nnd may be detected at the time the grain is ripening many rods from an infested neid, especially in tho evening or when the air is moist. Amount of Loss. As a rule this is not an abundant fungus, but it occasionally be comes prominent in more or less restricted localities, as if epidemic, and in such cases the loss ranges from a email per cent, to nearly the total crop. A caso in point is the one which attracted tho attention of the ttation stall' a few weeks ago and the investigation of which has resulted in the publication of the present bulletin. The Haw Patch is a region with rich loamy eoil and gravelly tub-eoil, in Li-

the reciou. taken trom a neid at randomshowed over half the heads tilled with stinking smut, and, in view of this fact, a I urtner personal examination 01 xuoiieic. and of others in tho vicinity, was deemed advisable. Tho lirat field visited was ono of about twenty acres, and the oijo probably ruoat affected of any in tho immediate vicinity. It was harvsted and m the shoes, an-i to all annearances was a ccod crop. The first handful of heads taken at random gave nineteen sound ones and twenty-five tilled with smut; that is a loss of fitlKJ per cent., a proportion that enrsory examination m other Parts of the held appeared to sustain. rri .. . 1- e i 11. a ; a t iue neaus 01 a ounuie lanen wiixiuui eu.fition were separated as they came to hand and gave 210 sound and 245 affected ones, a loss of 53.84 per cent. One may therefore conclude that over half of the crop was actually lost on account of tho smut in it This is not tho first appearance of tho disease in the State or in the country, alea wiue attention. Description of the Fungus. The iniurv is done by a funcus. that is. by a vegetable farasito belongiug to a low order of plant if 0. It begins to grow at the time tho wheat starts from the grain, and in order . to maintain its life must shortly find its . A-l-iA . At A l A. way mio uio interior 01 tne wneat piant. Once inside the young plant it grows as thewheat grows, passing up through the stem to the very top. When the wheat forms its reproductive bodies (seeds) the fungus does the same, and curiously enough the reproductive bodies of the funtuis (spores) ara produced inside the reproductive bodies of the wheat, so that instead of the usual hard crams of wheat we lind a soft mass of greasy, blackish spores. lho nourishment for the funtrus comes from the juices of the wheat plant in which -it crows. External Characters. Stinkinc smut 13 sharply distinguished from Mack smut, the only two smuts of wheat and oats, by its strong odor and inconsnicuousness. It is not easily detected until harvest time. The affected wheat plant thriven about as usual, the head tills, and the chafi is distended as if with a-normally plump grain. A close observer will Dotice, however, that already beforo wheat heads out tho diseased plants have a darker green color and somewhat more luxuriant appearance. , When the grain is only six inches high or so, this difference 111 appearance is quite striking, the affected plants being darker green and taller, as if droppings of manuro had forced them to extra growth. The growth does not continue so loug, however, as in the healthy plants, so that they do not usually become so tall, and are prema-. ture in heading and in ripening up the leaves. Upon breaking the kernel open a black ish, or, when compared with a really black object, dark brown, unctuous powder, of disagreeable odor when fresh, appears to have entirely replaced tho germ and flour of tho healthy kernel. The New York Tribuno says that lard softened with keroseno until it will just flow in summer heat makes as good oil for mowers, etc., as that 6old by dealers at 100 per cent, profit much better than some of IT.
