Government Crop Report Proves an Immense Bull factor at Chicago, YTheat and Corn Hate an Excited Advance of -; 4 Cents Oats Decidedly Higher Hog . - Trodncts Somewhat Stronger. ' ' MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. Successful Bear Ra'.J Camel lleary Declines Throughout the List NEW YORK, Sept. 11. Money on call was tight, ranging from "U and interest to 6 per cent, the last loan being made at C, closing oflered at 6 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, per cent. Sterling exchange active and steady at $4.812 for sixty -day bills and $1.&134 t0T demand. The total Bales of stock s to-day wero S40,G70 shares, including the following: Atchison. 1G.G&5; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 11,750; Louisville & Nashville, 7,200. The stock market to-day was nnusually active, but the increased business was obtained at the expense of values in all portions of the list, and material losses wero Buffered in all the active shares. There was to-day an undoubted full liquidation of small marginal accounts, for which the only inducement was the scarcity and high rates exacted for money, and the sbif tine of loans occasioned by the callins in of money loaned at lower rates brought considerable long stock on the market. At the same time, the "bears" were again very prominent in getting prices down, and mado a special point of the poor showing of the government crop report, and the granger stocks suffered to a marked extent, but not more than other stocks which are not to be atlected to such an extent by the scarcity of corn and wheat to haul. The money market was undoubtedly a great disappointment to smaller bulls at least, and the rate on call having gotten up to 4 per cent, per diem interest, notwithstanding all the efforts of the Treasury Department for its relief, the liquidation became general. The presentation of bonds at the sub-treasury for prepayment of interest was very large, the interest being paid npon $25,000,000 registered bonds, while SCJ.000 was paid on coupon and 5241,000 four-and-a-half per cent were redeemed. This, late in the day, again restored something like confidence, bat it failed to cause a rally of anything like the proportions of the previous decline. The early London quotations were all lower, and our market responded with declines of from to per cent, at the opening. After 12 o'clock special attention was given Chicago Gas and Sugar Keiineries. and each of them was quickly let oil' 6 per cent, on extremely large transactions. The recent supposed arrangement between the city authorities and the company was denied, and the opposition company, which would furnish gas at 50 cents per 1,000 feet, was said to be ready for business. At the same time the manipulation of both these properties was most apparent, but the rapid declines had their etlect npon the rest of the market and everything fell away rapidly, reaching the lowest points toward 2 r. M. The extreme activity then died away and prices recovered slowly. Tho leaders rosB about 1 percent., whilo the improvement in the others was confintd to fractional amounts only. North American was one of the features, and with the other two stocks mentioned was rattled off 3 per cent., rallying only a fraction. The declines, however, extended right through the list, the "bears" being most impartial in their favors. The market finally closed quiet and fairly steady, but at only slight improvement over the. low. est prices of the day. The most -.pronounced losses were as follows: Sugar Refineries 53, Chicago Gas 43$. North American 23a, New England 2, Sliver Certificates l3-. Big Four, Northern Pacitio preferred and Pacific Wail 15$ each, St. Paul l1!, Louisville & Nashville, Lake Shore and Lead Trust each 1$. and Missouri Pacitio and Canada Southern each 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were rather weak. The dealings, while they extended to $743,000, showed no feature of interest. Among the most important changes Chesapeake & Ohio. Richmond & Allegheny firsts lost 2, at 09: Kentucky Central fours, 2, at 81; Mobile & Ohio fours, 12. at C3L; Ontario &, Western lives. 24. at 9434: Western Pacific sixes, 1, at 111; Texas Pacific seconds, 1, atSS: Keading fours, 1, at SO; Mutual Union sixes, 1, at 104; Tennessee Coal.

The opening wan very unsettled and greatly excited, with ialesTaryingV21c in different parts of the crowd and ranged from 22 So higher than yesterday's closing, followed by a further advance of llc, or SLOC3 for December and LIO for May, orsoraeCCc above the inside figures reached Tuesday. Later the market eased off some, declining 1aG 30, held firm, and closed about 4o higher. The advance was attributed to the government report The report, while expected to show a further decrease, proved rather a surprise to the most sanguine "bull." It -was generally supposed that spring wheat would show a lower average, but this was hardly looked for in winter wheat, and the decline in both makes an estimated reduction in the total crop of about 19.000.000 bu as compared with the August report. Trading was very heavy, both on outside and local account. Kverybody wanted to buy at the start.- The "shorts'1 covered freely, with heavy realizing on the top. On the way up the offerings were not heavy, aud the short interest experienced some difficulty in exe cuting their orders without bidding tbe , market up. tome large lines were covered. Corn was active and excited the most of the session, price changes being sharp and frequent within an irregular range. The feeling doveloped was much stronger, and higher prices were tbw rule on all futures, duo almost exclusively to the government crop report, which showed a still further decline in condition, and indicating a yield of 1,540,000,000 bushels. First trades were at 12 2c advance, without much being ottered, and, nuder active buying from "shorts" and for investment, another bulgo of lc immediately followed. There 'was free realizing by local 'longs'' around 51c, and prices receded 7c, rallied, selling up 17hc. ruled steady, and closed with a gain of Zc. The business was almost entirely in May. and several larg short lines were covcreu. The reported cold weather in the Canadian northwest helped tho advance. An active business in oats was transacted at a decidedly higher range of prices. The firmness and advance in prices was due to the government crop report showing a decline in condition, during August, of 5.7 points, making a reduction

in the estimated yield from a month ago of 45.000,000 bu. and lroui last year of 220,000.000 ba. First sales were at 340 advance, a fnither appreciation of l'Slc was recorded, and, after several small fluctuation), the market closed firm at about outside figure 3. Mess-pork trading was quite active, and opening sales were made at 10-3 12 2C advance. A temporary decline of 22 -25c was submitted to, but later prices rallied So 40c. aud the improvement was moderately well maintained to the close. Lard attracted very little attention. Prices ruled .07LV2J.10C higher, and closed comparatively steady at outside figures. In short-rib sides thero was a fair business. Opening sales were at .052.10c advance, followed by a further improvement of .022C Later a reduction of .02V2?.03c was submitted to. Near the close prices rallied .Oo.OTjc, closing at ontside figures. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Trade Bather Slow, with No -Changes in , Values of Importance. Indianapolis, Sept. 11. In all departments, on account of the heavy rains, trade has dragged a little the last three days, but this is not a discouraging symptom, as the business situation could hardly be more favorable. Farmers can now sell a larger per cent of the corn they raise for feed, as the pastures will furnish what the corn would have had to make up but for the heavy rains which have so improved the pastures. Then the old crops are bringing a dood deal of good money, aud with most people there is an easy feeling. Itetail merchants are doing a good business and speak favorably of the outlook, and the wholesale men say that they would not ask for a better trado than that of the ten days preceding the present heavy rains. In prices, to-day, there were no important fluctuations. To say that on all lines of staple goods firm prices prevail, and ludications aro toward advances rather ; than declines, is no exaggeration.

Chamois-skin boots for babies are simply made. Take an old shoe to get the shape. Bind with narrow dark-brown ribbon and embroider the toe iu shades of brown. Use white buttons. The soles are also of the chamois skin. These will wash finely. An odd aud pretty hair-pin holder is made in the shape of a tiny boat. Cut two pieces of cardboard of tho desired shape aud cover both sides with plush or -silk; then sew them together at tbe ends and shorter sides. Fasten tiny silken cords and tassels at tho two ends, and upon one side outline a design of two crossed oars. Six inches for tho lower line and three inches for the height of the boat makes a good proportion. A shoe bag is what everyone needs, and they can bo gotten up very cheaply. Use linen or figured cretonne, nsiug for the back a piece as wide as you wish and long enough for two rows of pockets. . Take two straight strips of the material used, and fasten one above the other to the back, dividing each piece into two pockets. Bind all the edges with braid, and fasten brass rings at the corner by which to hang it. A pretty parlor dust-bag is made thus: Take a piece of china or pongee silk ten inches wide and thirty long, double tho ends together, turninc one to a point Leave an opening in the seam, which should bo at the back, largo enough to admit the hand to slip in the duster. Ornament the ends with small silk tassels, and suspend -by a ring through which the bag is drawn. A handsome photograph casois also made of chamois leather lined with yellow 6atin.' It is folded over about two inches at each end, thus forming two shallow pockets. On one is written in gilt letters the word "Photos;" on tho other is painted a cluster of wistaria leaves and flowers. Ties of yellow moire ribbon aro fastened at: the ends far closing tho case. A handsome ornament for ahanging lamp is made from a tiny glass tumbler two and a half or three inches across the top. half, a spool of knitting silk and four yards of ribbon half an inch wide. Crochet a chain that will tit arouud the top ot the tumbler, and fasten with slip-stitch. Crochet' a shell, fasten and chain four, make a shell in the sixth stitch from tho last shell, chain four, shell in the sixth stitch, and so on until tho chain is full. Then fasten the last four chains in the side of the first shell. Repeat until tho case is long enough; thon run the ribbon through each row of open work, leaving a small piece at the top to turn tinder.

Some young women will endure the agonies of a buttermilk mask for the sake of whitening their skins. Buttermilk is also excellent when mixed with horseradish. Eruptions upon tb face are as annoying as they are disfiguring. Sometimes these red blotches are caused by an insect working under the. cuticule. An excellent remedy is found in sulphur, which should be rnbbed dry npon the skin each morning after it has been washed. Rub in well with the fingers and then dost olf with a dry toweL A wash which is considered very beneficial is made by dissolving in one quart of water an ounce of borax and applying every night before going to bed with a fine spouge.

If a flesh tint is desired add a grain of carmine. The following is one of the best known recipe for glycerine" lotion: Take one ounce of sweet almonds or pistachio nuts, half a pictof elder or rose water and one ounce of glycerine. Grate the nuts, put the powder in a littlo liuen bag and squeeze it for five minutes in the elder flower water, then add tho glycerine. This lotion may be used by wetting tbe skin several times a day. It should be allowed to thoroughly dry into the skin, when, if it feels sticky or pasty, it may be washed ot! with tepid water. It is also well to be applied at night after bathing the face in water as hot as it can be borne and spraying it with cold in order to produce a reaction and tighten the relaxed tissues.

Harrison, in the Prairie Farmer. gives the following good advice about not disturbing the nests of the bumble-bees: Farmers, do not burn up all tho nests of the bumble-bees, for they are worth $20 to you in fsrtilizing red-clover blossoms, thereby insuring a heavy crop of seeds. In Australia there were no bumble-bees of our kind, and they could not raiso clover-eeed there until they imported some. Russian apples have not futilled the expectations of those who claimed they were better adapted to our northern sectioua than American varieties. The trees produced fro;u American varieties have demonstrated that they were hardier and xacra jjrodt ctive than the Knsiian trees.
