A Dull and Uninteresting Day in Speculative Grain at Chicago. Wheat Fails to Recover from Friday's Biff Break and Closea with the Same InactionCorn and Oats Featureless. MOEr, STOCKS AM) BONDS. 'Be arn Take a Day Off and Everything In the List Score an Adrance. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Money on call was easy with no loans, closing offered at 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper 512S7 per cent. Sterling exchange quiet but steady at 1.83 for sixty-day bills and f4.87 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 103,S31 shares. Including the following: Atchison. 25,840; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 10,100; Erie, 2,325; Louisville & Nashville, 6,500; Manhattan 3,510: Missouri Pacific, 9,170; Northe'rn Pacific preferred, 2,100; Oregon Transcontinental. 2,400; Reading. 6,100; Richmond & West Point, 1,624; St. Paul, 7,250. For the first timo in weeks the stock market was comparatively free from bear pressure to-day, and on its natural bent the market improved in all its details. The closing prices in London wero higher than our figures of last evening, and while London seemed to be doing little in this market, all the London favorites were strong. Careful observers thought they detected buying of Atchison, Cotton Oil and New England by the bear party which naa been so active in the market for the past two weeks, though- New England was, if anything, rather neglected. Some baying of Manhattan sent that stock up rapidly and with the Chesapeake & Ohio stocks it was the feature of the market toward the close, by a trip the line, prices over the latter being aided of the Vanderbilts over The advances on first last evening's figures were from a to Sg per cent, and further fraction al gams were scored all over tne list in the early dealings, though the only real activity was in Atchison, which was taken largely from 2S1 to 298. Sugar Kefiueries were specially weak at first, and declined to 82 from S3, and, recovering its loss, again declined to 82. A portion of this v:as recovered toward the close, however. There was considerable selling of Missouri Pacifio after 11 o'clock, when thero was some demonstration faade against prices by the traders on the expectation of a farther decrease in the reserves of the banks, but the statement, when issued, showed an increase jn that respect, and the buying assumed larger proportions than at any Srcvious time of the dav. Manhattan and anttoba wero especially strong at this timeTxnd everything advanced with them, the market finally closing fairly active and strong at the best prices of the session. The list is almost invariably higher this evening, and while most of the changes are for insignificant fractions, Manhattan is up 24; Atchison, liig Four, Louisville & Nashville and Union Pacific, each 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were more animated, and showed a firmer tone than usual of late, though the changes during the session wero in but few cases for more than slight fractions. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were dull and fcMureless. Closiug quotations were: Four per ct.reg... 127 C.,St.L. fc P.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Bar silver, 9340. TRADING AT CHICAGO. The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the Range In Prices of Leading Articles; CHICAGO, Oct. 12. There was a fairly good trade in the wheat market to-day, largely in the way of evening up. More or less long wheat came out. The opening wasweak, and prices 8 2 4C lower, selling oft' J4C more later, then rallied 34C, but ruled easier, closing about the same as yesterday for both December and May. Corn ruled quiet and inactive, thoui;u thero were moments of temporary activity. The feeling was easier on the near futures, while May rules comparatively steady. Trading was largely local, and fluctuations limited to J4C range. Oats wero dull but steady, and without special features of importance. Pricesonly fluctuated c. The provision trade closed the week in a quiet manner. The October pork deal was scarcely mentioned, and in the general market thero was no particular life at any time. Price changes wero unimportant. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Indiana poll?, Oct. 12. The volume of trado in the week closing to-day was disappointing, and no reason can be assigned, except that the weather has been too mild. Dry goods men and boot and shoe-dealers both spbak of trade as having been quiet. A. cold snap would doubtless give more life to trade in at least these departments.. In produce circles trado has been off. Apples and potatoes are in largo supply, and apples aro rotting badly, and for that reason grocers buy only to meet immediate requirements. Cranberries are about the only article iu this line which is higher. Eggs, poultry and butter all rule easy at quotations. Tho flour market is more active and prices improving somewhat. Hides are active, but prices remain unchangod, with no indications as yet of an improvement. Iron and articles manufactured therefrom rule lirm, and advancing still in tendencv. The dry weather has chocked trade with the seed men. A good ram would help their business. Druggists report trade good, and firm prices prevailing on most articles tlrey handle. Provisions are selling some better at the revised quotations of Wednesday last. Dealers in tinners' supplies aro having a good trade, and have not as yet advanced prices, although a lirm feeling prevailes on most lines of goods they handle.

Xew York Independent, Many a ruralist can profitably employ his leisure this month in making permanent and other improvements upon liis premises. If tho season be dry, draining may be dono advantageonsly. Under-draining is needed ou many farms, and it is an investment that would pay large dividends for a succession of years. It increases the fertility and productive capacity of the soil and the man who augments the productive power of his acres by increasing their yield annually, adds materially to the cash value of his whole farmstead. Well-laid tile drains aro the cheapest in tho end, aud the most effectual in fitting the land for cultivation, hut stone draius, brush drains or open ditches. if put at sufficient depthand provided with proper outlets, will do good service while they last. Some farms have shackly buildings and fences that greatly need repairing, or new ones to replace them. Substitute gates for crooked, wurpiug, time-consuming bars, and you will make a great improvement. If you have plenty of material build good

stone walls, or repair those out of order. On many farms tne conveyance of water through' pipes or logs to the dwelling, harn, etc, wiN prove a most valuable improvement, while tho arrangement of convenient watering-places for stock should not be overlooked. Other 4,hetterments" may be made about the farm and dwelling at this season, but our wide-awake readers need no further reminders on the subject, Storing Root Crops. Philadelphia Record. The difucnlty of conveniently; storing large crops of roots has assisted in deterring farmers from growing roots extensively for winter use. The methods of storing roots at present differ but little from those in use for many years in the past. As tho fanner cannot anticipate the mildness or severity of the winter he is liable to make a mistake in storing, for both heat and cold must be guarded against, as the temperature cannot well be regulated. One advantage of silage is the case with which it can be stored and kept during winter, as compared with roots, but the use of silage should be no obstacle to the feediug of roots to stock in winter, as both silage and roots have their appropriate places in tne list of foods. They iu no manner conflict, bnt on the contrary add to the variety of food, aud better promote the thrift of 6tock at a season of the year when green food cannot bo easily obtained. When beets, carrots, parsnips, potatoes or turnips are stored in bins the farmer can use them with convenience, but the cellar or barn that permits of the keeping of beots or carrots may not bo well adapted for potatoes, as the former can endure more or less freezing, but any sudden change of temperature, which permits of a higher degree, is sometimes injurious. To avoid this it has been found of advantage, in some portions of the West, to pack the roots in layers, in bins, using sand, or clean drv dirt for filling the spaces between tho roots. This prevents sudden changes in the bin, and permits of the use of the crop as required by removing the earth as tho roots are taken out, but even this method depends on tho dryness of tho cellar or bam. To store roots in the ground for winter use by covering with earth is to seal them up by the frost at a time when they may be required, yet farmers store roots in that manner, and successfully. This should be no rcasou, however, for refraining from the nse of 6ome plan by which roots can be taken from the general store for nse without danger of los9 from frost of those that remain. Tho use of earth as a covering is partially due to the lack of proper facilities for storage, and the failure to provide some kind of a store-house for roots has been at a loss of roots by attempting to economize by mounds. One or two winters' experience with cellars, barn-bins, or properly constructed pits will give the farmer an opportune ty of testing the modesmost advantageous f ir the purpose, as the climate must do considered.and when the proper facilities for storing large crops ot bulkv roots have been provided it will be found profitable to grow them as necessary adjuncts to the winter supply of food for stock. m Common Sense In Farming. . Iowa State register All of the education it is possible to obtain at the schools and colleges will not make a successful experimental farmer, unless accompanied always with good common sense. Yes, horse sense, if you please. Such f euse as those horses had as detailed in the Register a few da3s ago which were stolen near Iowa City and taken by tho thieves to Van liuren county. When the thieves were arrested the constable could not ascertain were the horses belonged. He turned them out and followed them. They took the most direct route northeast for home, and pursued that direction day and night until they arrived at their own home. That was not education, but common sense. And after all of the drilling and cramming of the schools, no man can or will be a successful farmer without an abundance of common sense. Without it all the schools in the world would not teach . him to cut. care for and .harvest his hay in an uncertain hay harvest without getting damaged by rain. Education cannot direct him in the spring, in view of all the circumstances of rain, drought, cut-worms, etc., when to plant. It will not teach him when to change, modify, increase or diminish food, and treatment of his hogs and cattle, when circumstances demand some other course, should be resorted to for their prosperity and preparation for the market. And there aro hundreds of emergencies on a farm; if common sense does come to the farmer's relief at the time, he is a failure. This endowment the farmer needs to have always on hand to direct him. If crops fail, after fair cultivation, followed by suitable rain and sunshine, his common sense must teach him what the matter was and, the remedy he must apply to his soil for success. Iho mere fact that the schools might teach him to apply fertilizers is not sufficient! He can-see and know all of the circumstances surrounding the failure, and common-sense, and not the nooks of tho schools, should direct him. And j;et we would not ignore tho great help of an airricultural and scientilic education in aiding and directing most of the 'operations on the farm. lint it can never supply the place of common-sense. Household Hints. Lemon-juice is a good thing for removing tan. It is also excellent for taking stains from the hands, and, applied to the hands at night, will keep them soft and white. Flowers can be kept fresh for some time if a pinch of soda or saltpeter is added to the water. Wilted roses will regain their fresanoss if dipped a minute or two in hot water. There are about as many theories on the subject of baths as in any department of hygiene. Rut the following has been proved to be a very refreshing, though comparatively little known method of taking a bath: Mako a pad by ewing together three or four thicknesses of an old blanket. Place this in a shallow tin pan and heat thoroughlyhalf a pint of hot water is suflicient for this. Stand on this while sponging the body with cold water, and the deadly "spinal column shivers," that deter so many people from taking the invigorating cold sponging will trouble you no longer. You will enjoy every moment of being warm during a cold bath. A dainty little stand for the corner of the dining-room, or to place near the hammock, is mado of three broom-sticks, and a round brass tray, such as you cau get at any hardware store. Cut the sticks the desired length, slanting tho lower ends so they will stand firmly; crow, and fasten them with round headed screws, stain with cherry-staining, and varnish; gild the heads of the screws, or tie a ribbon where the sticks cross. Fasten the tray to the top of the sticks with small brass-headed picture-nails three small gilt chains fastened to the sticks under the tray will bo an addition and you have a fruit, book or llower stand that will delight your heart and be tho admiration of your friends. Convenient little arrangements called "book weights." to be used for keeping a book open while studying, are particularly welcome little gifts for students, as reference,, books multiply on their desks. tfTake one-quarter of a yard of ribbon, two and ono-half inches wide, fold it and neatly overhand it together along the selvages, within an inch and a quarter of each end; half of this space loft is to be fringed out. Fold the ribbon so that the seam conies in the middle on the top. Stitch through this scam to form two equal compartments, tie one end stoutly together with a stout thread: fill with shot the two spaces, which aro like tinv double bags, and tie tip tho other end. Very narrow ribbon is then tied around the ends, with little bows on top. Tho name of tho owner or some appropriate quotation can be lettered on in gilt or silver. A pretty lambrequin may be made thus: A piece of ticking the length of mantel and about six inches wide, four or tivo balls of tinsel, several skeins of rope linen, according to length of lambrequin. It is much fuettier if several colors of tinsel and rope inen are used. 1 used two blue and ping. The stripes in tho ticking must be very narrow, extending up and down the lambrequin. Cut the tinsel into pieces the width of ticking, sew them over the stripes; variegate the color. Then take the ropo linen, cut it into nieces twelve inches long. Tako ten of these and place them together evenly. Next, make a hole in the bottom of the lambrequin with scissors, and placing a large bono hook through'the hole from the wrong side, put tho linen over the hook, and draw it through. This makes a loop. Take the rest of the rope linen, place it on tho hook aud draw it through the loop. Continue this all along tho bottom for fringe. This makes a pretty and inexpensive.; lambrequin for & bedroom. -

It circulates largely in every county in Indiana, and has correspondents in every town and village of importance Its market reports are prepared with tho greatest care possible, and no pains or cxpenso are 6pared to mako them accurate aud absolutely reliable. It is tho only newspaper in tho State owning and publishing all tho news furnished by tho two great press associations (tho Western Associated Press and tho United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of special service from all the principal cities of tho country. It has been, and will in future be, tho aim of the publishers to mako the Indianapolis Journal a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. Tho paper challenges comparison with any of its contemporaries. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Republican, should be without the Journal. While it is thoroughly and soundly Republican in politics, devoted to the interests of the Republican party, the Journal will not allow its news to be colored by partisan bias, but will" give the news of the day without fear or favor. Owing to tho prominence of Indiana in the national administration, the Journal gives particular attention to Washington news, which will be given far more completely than ever before. For this reason, if for no other, no Indiana reader can afford to bo without it for the next four years. In addition to its new features, the Journal regales its readers with the productions of some of tho bo&t known literary men and women of tho day. Many of the most celebrated magazine writers and authors are contributors to its literary columns, making it apaper fur the household and homo circle. Special arrangements have been made for features of this character, which will appear in the Journal during tho coming year. These appear most largely in tho Sunday Journal, which is a special edition, and can bo subscribed for and received exclusivo of tho Dailt Journal.
