Prime mercantile paper, SGI per cent Sterling exchaneo quiet bat firm at $4,651 for sixty-day hills, and $4.674 for demand. The total sales of etocks to-day .were 177,723 shares, including the' following: Atchison, 7.CC0; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 17.010; Louisville '& Nashville, 11.150; Missouri Pacific, 4,860; Reading. 3,410; . Richmond & West Point,' 13,006; St. Paul, 6,700. :' ' The stock market was only slightly less j&ctivo to-day than yesterday, and tho loss of business in the few leading etocks was about mado up by tha extension of the trading to an unusually large number of. shares, giving tho market a broadening , tendency; and while the failure of the Senate and tho House to get together on the silver question acted as a deterrent, the sentiment in general seems to be that there "will ultimately bo some joint action taken 'which :vriH) result in easier money and higher prices at the Stock Exchange. "There -were no signs of an end of the Missouri Pacific. Rock Island, Union Pacific and Alton tight, and the stocks of those companies continued to flrag,' with evidences of long stocks coming out, but the princi- - pal ell'oct of the trouble thus far has been to stifle trading In them, and they were all :duil to-day. There was more general in-. : terest in the market to-day. and while Sugar and Lackawana wro still most prominent In tho dealings, there were more ( marked movements in the general list'and special spurts in Richmond &. West Point, , Chicago Gas. New England, and Louisville Nashville took place. Among tho specialties the Chesapeake & Ohio stocks, the Hocking Coal and Rio Grande Western preferred all scored material gains. To these may be added Wheeling & Lake Erie and Manhattan, though the latter did not retain all of its advance at the close. The movements in those properties, however, are based cn the large gains in the earnings over those of last year. The most pronounced movement was - in-Hocking Coal - and was- stimulated by the understanding that a proposal for the issue of new stocks to furnish additional capital will be snbmitted at an early day and will have the support of most of the holders of the stock, who think that the earning power of "the company will be largely increased by the money to be raised in this manner. The market opened rather heavy on realizations, but the "bulls" held prices up and little pressure was put upon the list. The -rise in Sugar was not without its influence, but tho temper of the whole list 'was bullish and fractional gains were established over the entire list Dullness again became the feature in tho afternoon, but the market finally closed dull aud firm, generally at something better than tirst prices, and a majority of the list 6bow gains over last evening's figurathis evening. The gains, however, are-slight, except in Hocking Coal, which is up 2, Sugar 1, Chesapeake & Ohio firsts preferred and Rio Grande Western preferred 1 per cent, each, while Tennessee Coal shows a loss of 1.

Icss Activity All Aronnd-Wheat a Uttle lllcber nnl Corn av rthatle Lower. ' CHICAGO, April lS.-Trade in wheat was good, but tho volumo of business to-day was not as large as during the preceding days. The feeling was again unsettled, and operators were a little uneasy and undecided as to which courso to. pursue. Fluctuations were confined .within a smaller range. A batch of bull news was received from various quarters, which started an upward turn in prices early in tho day, advanclcg in all c for Slay aud

;c for July, with Jnne following the May future. Later, however, there appeared to bo renewed pressure to sU, and prices declined le for May andlc for July, recovered.ud close about JiC higher for May and c higher for July. than the'closing of yesterday. There seemed' to bo more or lens difierence of opinion as to the designs of a certain prominent trader, some believ--in? he is endeavoring to unload, while other: thiuk . he rhay be trying to creatu - a. . larger short interest, , Corn was traded in to a fair extent, tho market ruling fairly active the great-part of the session. The feeling early was firm, but later an easier tone was manifested. There was no new important outside news, and fluctuations were governed to a great extent by local influences. The market opened nt about yesterday's closing, was firm for a time, selling up c, but became weaker, declining 3gc, then ruled lirmer. closing a shade lower than yesterday. There was a fair trade in oats, but it showed a moderate decrease from the past kW r' A fismer feeling existed early in the day, and oponiug sales were Uc advance, and sold at a further light appreciation. This brought out considerable reaU ization, and a recession cf 14'3380 followed, and tlie market closed easy at about the same prices as on yesterday for Juno and July, .'but the strong buying for May produced a rally of o, ami it closed at a net gain of sc. Ou lv a fair trade was reported in pork, and the feeling was uuscttled. Prices fluctuated considerably within a moderate range. Early sales were made at 1015c decline but this reduction was quickly recovered.. Later a weak feeling was developed, and prices declined 15 20c, but rallied agaiu and closed rather. quiet at medium figures. 1 railing in lard was moderate, and prices were irregular within a small range. Prices tvero advunred .05c. Later the inquiry slackened, nnd prices gradually went back again .05 .Q7Lc. Toward tho close rather more steadiness prevailed, and prices advniicr4 .(joi.Ooc, closing steady. Rather mor. interest was manifested in short-ribs. 0 pening sales were made ut .02 2.05c decline, but this reduction was 'soon recovered. Later the market ruled active but weaker, and prices declined .OTi.lOc. At this recession there was a better inquiry., and prices rallied .OTa.lOc, the market closing ateady.

The Great Advance In Agricultural Products .. Merchandising Improved. NEW YORK, April 18,-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: A season of extraordinary speculation has set in. Grain, pork products, cotton, oil and sugar have advanced, the latter in spite of tho proposal to remove the ' entire duty, and spruce lumber also, in spite of the rapidly increasing interruption of building by eight-hour strikes. The general average of prices for commodities have advanced .8 of 1 per cent in a week, and 1.7 per cent in three weeks. Stocks have' also been stronger, and reports of trade which are influenced rather by prices at which goods aro sold than hy ' the volume of business transacted, aro uniformly more cheerful. At the same time there is con tinued evidence of an actnal increase over last year in the volume of business transacted. Wheat was started upward by reports of injury in winter-wheat States. At New York tha sales have been 124.000.000 bu, probably tho largest week's transaction on record. Corn has advanced "in sympathy" Hc, and oats 134C. Oil has advanced 4ccr without known occasion. Pork has risen 2 per bbl. 'lhere is not a corresponding improve ment in the industrial condition. Wool

has been firmer at Boston, without change in price, nnd very dull aud inactive at New York and Philadelphia. In the goods market no improvement is seen. Cotton manufacture does not thrive the better for the advance in the i material, with goods unchanged iu price, and print cloths only 3.2c for sixty-fours. The boot aud ahoe industry is clearly thriving, and leather and hides are both a shade firmer and m more active demand. But the eight-hour strikes in many cities . have .already arrested all building' operations, and are expected to extend, so that the market for glass Is already affected unfavorably, and also the demand for structural iron. Tho Iron business shows no improvement In steel rails large orders are pending, and it is thought they can be placed at $33. Bardron is dull and depressed. Substantially all the reports from other cities give an encouraging record of the

state of business. At Boston improvement continues; retail dry-goods trade is large and causes better jobbing trade, and do mestic hides aro. higher. At Phila delphia there is especial activity in drugs and chemicals, and the past week was the best for a long time in groceries. Chicago reports tho usual great increase in the movement of grain and dressed beef, lake shipments of grain being double last year's, and dry-goods sales ful ly equal to last year's, while clothing falls behind, but is fairly satisfactory. Collections there are generally good. St Louis aiso notes improvement, iairiy prompt collections, and expectations of a good spring trade. , At nearly all other Western points similar favorable reports are made, and St. Paul notes that recent rains help farmers, and seeding is going on rapidly. It is especially noteworthy that there is no serious monetary pressure anywhere. Monev is quiet and easy at Boston, easier at Philadelphia, and steady, with plentiful suplies, at Chicago, St. Lonis, Milwaukee and miaha. Cleveland and Detroit only report ing some closeness. Exports of products in March appear to have increased fully 5 per cent, over last year, and probably exceeded imports by $5,000,000. but thus far in April exports have fallen about 19 per centbelow last year's at New York, while imports show an increase of 122 per cent. The bnsinesft failures throughout the country during the past seven days number 214, as compared with 209 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 246. TRADE IN GENERAL.

A Variety or Plants From Which Dflklous riavors are Obtained. ' New Tcrk Tribune. Tarragon is the mostdelicate plant grown in the French herb garden. It is an f-xotio perennial which is best procured by the root from a green-hocse. It grows luxuriantly in line soil enriched with leafmold, and may be kept as a window plant during the. winter. It is so highly valued by tirst-elass caterers that a small bnncU sells ir. the New York markets dnring tho winter season as high as25or80 cents. Tarragon, chervil, bnrnet or pimpernelle. and chives, minced in equal quantities, form th ravigote of Gouffe which he adds to sal-' . sauces and other dishes to give exit zest, or, as the English would say, "the ia?t touch." Tarragon vinegar, which is ued by all accomplished chefs in French salad dressing, mayonnaise and tartare sauces, is made by tha addition of half a market buuch of tarragon, chervil and buruet respectively, to a qoart bottle of hot wine vinegar. The herbs are allowed to remain in the vinegar two weeks, when it is strained and is ready for use. riome cooks use tarragon alone in the vinegar, but it is better with tho other herbs. A handful of tarragon leaves may be fried and added to a Bechamel sauce and we have tarragon sauce, which . is delicious with broiled cutlets of lamb, chicken croquettes, fillets of flounder, tlmbals of chickeu. or any delicate entree, A mmce of tarragon is found in nearly all Frendi sal ads, even when the riivicote of herbs is Dot used. It forms 'the delicious little bits of grass" which a novitiate in salad making, who had traveled, explained ah found in '.all Parisian salad. Two roots, which sell for twenty-tivo cents each, will be enough to stock a family herb garden. A section of the herb-bed should be de voted to chervil, which should be sown in drills like parsley, and inay be treated in an exactly similar mauncr. This is i French herb, which has a fresh, delicious fracrance and flavor, less aromatic, bub similar to tarragon. A handful minced and thrown in a cream soup lust as it is served is a delicious addition. It is used in sauces nnd in salads. It is similar in appearance to parsley, but ol a fainter, more delicate green, and is eflectively nsedin garnishing. A tiny cluster, the site of a bunch of pars lev. mar be purchased at all times of thn year in the New York markets. Bnrnet la a perennial, and a bed once started wiii nourish as long as it is cared lor. mo leaf is excellent in minced salads. It wa used by the Greeks in the preparation of certain drinks. Like borage, it was sup posed to be a specilic against mclancholyt the "herb of joy." The French name for this plant, pimpernelle, by which it is generally known among cooks, should not confound it with the poi3onous English Pimpernel or "poor man's weather-glass." whost tlowers close at the approach oi storm and to which the poet of "Maud" alludes: 'The white lake blossom fell Into the lake As the pimpernel dozed on the lea," The plaut of kitchen fame is a member of the roan family. It should be sown hi drills in the open ground in light, rich soil. and when young the plants may be thinnea out till they are six or eight inches apart. They continue green all winter wbeu transplanted to the window garden. lhere is no prettier border to the hernbed than chives; those little wild onions which are often found growing In our country pastures, a proof of tho gastronomic taste of our Dutch ancestors, from whose gardens they are runaways, lheir pretty purple flowers are exceedingly ornamental, and as a sacrifice to beauty a few plants mav be allowed to blossom among their barren sisters, though the blossoming plants will be of no culinary value. Chives are alwavs useful to the experieoed cook. They are excellentfor alads. imparting mat iamt eujpiciou vi an uujuu flavor so esteemed by the gourmet. A. tablespoonfulof minced chives sprinkled throncrh a notato salad adds flavor and 3j dainty touch of green. Two tablespoonf uls may be added to a toreenful of cream-of-onion or potato-ana-onion soup, jut; is u is served. A tablespoonful of mincod chives and a teaspoonful of parsley spnnKied over a plain omelette before it is rolled, and we have an oineletto "with fine herbs," so much esteemed by the French housewife. Chlve9 will grow green and flourish in any corner of the window where they are placed. German iamiues Keep mem iu a w cu-iiuvciv cellar window. Parslev ia e.asilv rrown in the open air. but a few honsewives keep it green all winter in the window. It is as easily cared for in the house as in the open air. The tea-grounds of the table laid around tne roots of this and otherherbsin the windowgarden will help enrich tho soil and add to the vigor of their growth. Reserve a corner of your herb-bed for sweet marjoram, summer savory, thyme and sage. Pluck oil sprays of these plants before they blossom aua dry mem ior winter use. Purchase lOcenU' worth of bay leaves of a trustworthy druggist and a bunch of garlic and some shallots in market, and vour list of flavoring herbs for the year is complete. Garlics and shallots may be raised in the country herb-bed, but it is economy of timeavd trouble to purchase a bunch of the former, even in the country. Each bulb on a bunch contains a dozen cloves, or sections, and half a clove of garlic is the maximum quantity which gives to a soup, ragout or meat pie the desired flavor. A clove of garlic is sometimes rubbed on the s:ilad-bowl or hidden lu the salad to give flavor (it is then calM a "chapon'M, but is never served. Shallots aro invaltiablo in cookery, giving, when minced, a peculiarly line onion flavor, while thev are without odor. They are excellent in'tartare sauce, potato salad, mus tard eauco and curries. The shallot, or eschalot, was introduced from the Holy Laud into Europe bv the Christian knights of tho middle ages. "The deeds of the Crusaders aro forgotten." exclaims the en thusiastic gourmet, Mbnt the tiny onions of. Ascalon shall live forever." m i m Unprofitable. Philadelphia Record, i The waste of labor in improper manage agernent is enormous. When it is considered that thousands of farmers are annually busy at work iu the production of crops, the saving of only 1 per cent, in the cost of production amounts to a large sum. It ia safe to claim, however, that the annual loss . to the farmers from misapplied labor is much greater than can be estimated. Not only is tQotnuch labor applied in some directions, and an insignificant proportion given in another, but the times of fo doing are not Appropriate, to say nothing of the ultimate results upon the crops. Successes and failures have occurred not altogether from the abundance orinenfliciency of labor applied, but according to the skill and judgment exercised in performing the work at tho proper period and in the right man The waste of labor may occur in many ways. The cultivation of large fields that cannot be manured or fertilized, except at great expense, entails on the fanner the wear and depreciation of implements, which are put to more use than should bo necessary, as well as the los of travel to and fro in reaching distant points of a held, aud also at the expense of additional energy of working stock and loss of time, only to secure but a partial crop, and which may cause neglect of some other crop that demands the attention which could be given itJmt for the waste of time and labor fruitlessly. To ecoooiniro the work it becomes necessary to hurry and finish the field in timo for planting, the result being that such work may be improperly performed. It is the additional cost of labor that lessens the profit, and success can only be obtained by appb'iug the labor in an economical manner. . A waste of labor causes a waste of crop, but this waste sometimes occurs in the boginning, and not w hen the crop is harvested. If the labor that ts expended over a large area be applied so as to concentrate tLeellorts on a smaller tract upon which the manure cau bo advantageouhly applied and thorough cultivation be giveu, the expenses will be less aud the yield greater. Staple crops, such as corn and wheat, Uo not ulwavs receive that preparation of the soil in the first placw ss hhonld 1k given. The soil can bo more thoroughly prepared for the reception of seed, and tho cultivator and harrow be used to better advantage, when tho area is limited to the proper amount of labor to be performed. It is costly to expend the energies in a manner that entails iieedlt'SJ expense, and as the profit depends as much ou the judicious application of labor as upon the prices oltaiued, labor becomes an important factor.
