Money on call was easy, ranging from 4 to 8 per cent., the last loan being made at 4 per cent; closing offered at 4 per cent Prime mercantile paper, per cent. Sterling exchange active and firm at 4.82 for sixty-day bills and for de mand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 210,170 shares, including the following: Atchison, 2,602; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. 24,450; Louisville & Nashville. 14.635; Missouri Pacific 7,065; North American, 4,402; Northern Pacific. 6.S50; Northern Pacific preferred, 10,600; Reading, 9,700; Richmond & West Point, 12,614; St. Paul, 42,783; Union Pacific. 29,570. The stock market to-day was irregular in its movement, and, while showing great strength in spots in the forenoon, displayed a reactionary tendency later in the day, and the early improvement was nearly neutralized, leaving prices but little better, as a rule, than those of Wednesday afternoon. At the opening the "bears" were inclined to become aggressive, the traders following suit, invited by the comparative quietness of the speculation. In several stocks the lifting power was so great that the operations of the bearish contingent were arrested immediately, and one of tne sharpest advances seen since prices reached their lowest points took place. Sugar had opened off 22 per cent, on the rnnior that a large refiner had refused to deposit his certificates, but on the denial of the story it shot up 6 per cent. Kock Island, in conjnnction with several others, was lending at a premium in the stock-loan crowd. It shot up from 7034 to 751, followed closely by Hurlinton and other grangers and some specialties. The buying, however, reached its limit quickly, and prices began to sag away af ttr noon, when money stitlened up. the rate on call rising to 8 per cent., while many realizations occurred on the advance of the forenoon. The "bears" again came to the front, and E rices continued to fall all t be afternoon, ackawanna being the special favorite in the selling for some time. It yielded over 4 per cent., and rallied a little over 1. The downward movement came to an end in the last hour, and while there were some advances in the last few minutes, the market closed quiet and only steady with most of the list at but slight changes from the opening prices. The final changes are generally in the direction of higher prices, and Sugar is np 23i. Rock Island 21, Burlington la4, and Jersey Central 1 per cent, while the only important decline is lj in Lackawanna. Railroad bonds were still fairly active, the ales of all issues reaching $1,077,000. though a few issues were specially prominent. The market was steady almost throughout, and final changes are generally insignificant, with a majority of advances. Richmond & West Point Trust fives rose 2, to G8, and others generally fractional amounts. Government bonds were dull and steAdy. State bonds were entirely neglected.

The opening prices in all the speculative commodities were without change from those prevailing prior to the Thanksgiving interruptiou of business. An advance in the first few minutes gave the "bulla'7 some reason to think that their side was likely to maintain its recent ascendency, bat early appearances were deceitful, and in the end there was universal weakness and lower prices. Wheat closed mo lower and corn and oats 7eo lower, and the several articles on the provision list also made a slight loss compared with Wednesday's closing. With nothing in the wheat situation to cause any change in speculative sentiment since Wednesday afternoon the price immediately, on the opening, indicated that none had taken place. May wheat, which closed on the afternoon preceding the holiday at $1,021$. opened at about the same price this morning. TAere were some sales at $1.02, but. the offerings being light, a hardening tendency was developed, which had its acknowledgement in an immediate advance to $1.02'. Trading was not very animated, and, while no cause was apparent wLr there should be a decline, there were new developments tending forcibly in the other direction. The local receipts were rather heavier than had been looked for, but the increase was not sutlicient to call for more than passing remarks. After the price of May wheat had wavered for a time around $1.02 1.023 there was an advance to SIh on reported sales of 25,000 bushels of wheat to Buffalo millers and the chartering of vessels for the shipment of 125,000 bushels. The improvement was of a very short duration, however. Uneasiness was created by the freedom with which December was being otlered and the wide berth givon to that delivery by the speculators, as evidenced by its increasing discount. Such sales as were effected early in tho session wero at7sc under the prices for which there at same time appeared to be plenty of buyers for May delivery. This lack of demand for what twill be cash wheat on text Monday morning bad its eflect later, and a sudden decline to $L01:k. which took place about 12 o'clock, was due to this cause. .The advance in railroad freights has necessarily lessened the selling value of Hour at Western milling centers, and consequently proportionately reduced the price which millers can pay for wheat. The price of wheat broke to Sl.ul1 or lc below the resting figures on Wednesday. The difference between the December and May deliveries widened as the session advanced, and toward the end 7340 was the carrying charge. The market weakened still further in the last few minctes. and prices were at their lowest at the- close. May wheat rested at 81.01, and December was nominally worth ICc. Corn was firm when wheat was firmer, and continued its sympathy when tho reverse condition was applicable to the latter cereaL The opening price for May. was 54c, and it advanced during the first half hour to 54?Hc Owing to the cause already referred to there was a gradual weakening, which was most pronouueed close to the eud. and during which a decline to 53-14 too k place, the closing quotation being 53 34 Q537tc. Hutchinson was credited with selling freely, and there appeared to be no support to prices except what came from "shorts." There was much more putting out of further short lines, however, than covering of those previously existing. The local receipts amounted to 155 car-loads. Oats were fairly active for May. but the near deliveries were neglected. The weakness in other grains and increased offerings by "longs" produced a decline of ?c. and tue market closed quiet at almost inside

prices and about the same as on Wednesday. Pork trading was moderately active, and the feeling was somewhat unsettled. Prices fluctuated considerably. Opening prices were made at 2l2'25e decline, bnt prices rallied V-lKic. Later prices gradually receded LVSlTc. closing about in-: side figures. A fairly active trade in lard was reported and the feeling was somewhat nervous and unsettled. Prices ruled .0212'6.05c higher early in the day, but gradually settled back .O.VS.OT1 and closed quiet. Short-ribs trading was moderately active. Prices ruled .Oo higher early in the day, but later the advance was lost. The market closed steady at about inside figures. The leading futures ranged as follows:

It is to be kept in mind that if the threads are there in considerable numbers, there is little hope of saving that particular tuber; but much spreading in the heap may be prevented by keeping it in a warm, dry place, so that all moisture may quickly dry from the surface. All rotten tubers must be removed as they appear, and it is well to sprinkle air-slaked lime over the surface of all. The point in all this is to remove the conditions for the passage of the germs from one tuber to another. The preventive measures to be employed another season are to grow the crop upon a soil that is not liable to be wet. Much will depend upon the season, but some places on the farm are usually too wet for potatoes, and they only serve to propagate the rot and keep it in the neighborhood from year to year. Potatoes should be grown, therefore, upon as dry a soil as possible to insure a crop. Of course, no one would attempt a second crop npou an area already charged with the germs of the last season. Have"the best seed possible; that is, use that from a place that was free from the rot, if possible. Spraying the vines vith the Bordeaux mixture, so efficacious for rot in grapes, has been successful in reduc ing the adtouut of decay, and is worthy of consideration. It is of much importance that the arly sort be planted early, so that the potatoes may be mature and out of the ground before the rot comes, which is. as aTule, not nntil midsummer or later. lhi$' last point cannot be too strongly insisted upon. My 'visit to the fated counties of southern Jersev empha sized this fact most strongly. There the planting often Was not done until July. In a dry season this may do. but this year the result was that the potatoes were in the midst of their growth when the late Septeniber and eariy uctouer rains came, and the fungus flourished under the conditions

that then auxxounded it. There may be

many advantages in some years in having the potato crop mature so late, but in a wet season it is fatal and ruinous. By planting on dry soil, planting early, using healthy seed and spraying for the rot fungus, which can be done at the same time and with the insecticide application for the beetles. tLere is great hope for saving the crop. Follow this with quick digging if any decay appears in the vines; store like sweet potatoes and profits are all the more certain. Last of all do not neglect cleaning up the rubbish should thero be an attack of the rot. ' THE PUZZLE DEPARTMENT. All matter relating to this department mutt te addressed to W. JI. Uraffam.

' THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEIdTI The Most Complete Newspaper in all Departments in tho State of Indiana. No newspaper In tho West Is raora widely or more favorably known than tho Indianapolis Journal. By tho display of enterprise and 6trict attention to the wants of the reading public, it has taken a leading position among the most prominent journals of the country, and is certainly among the best. Among tho newspapers of tho State it 13 pre-eminently tho best, and Indiana readers caa nowhere else find what they want in th way of State and local news. It circulates largely in every county in Indiana, and has correspondents in every town and village of importance. Its market reports are prepared with the greatesS care possible, and no pains or expensa are 6pared to make them accurate and absolutely reliable. It is tho only news paper in the State owning and publish ing all the news furnished by the two great press associations (the 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. Ifc has been, and will in futuro be, the aim of the publishers to make tho Indianaf olis Journal a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in n department or particular. Tho paper challenges comparison with any of its contempt raries. No Indiana reader, certainly no In. diana Republican, should be without the Journal. While it is thoroughly and' 6oundly 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 the prominence of Indiana in tho national administration, the Jour nal gives particular attention to Washington news, which will be given far more completely than ever before. Fop this reason, if for no other, no Indiana ' reader can afford to be without it. In addition to its now features, tho Journal regales its readers with the productions of some of the best known literary men and women of the day. Many of the most celebrated magazino writers and authors are contributors to its literary columns,making it a paper for the household and homo circle. Special arrangements have been made for features of this character, which will appear in the Journal during the coming year. These appear most largely in tho Sunday Journal, which i3 a special edition, and can be subscribed for and received exclusive of the DailT Journal. , THE INDIANA STATS JOURNAL (THE WEEKLY EDITION) One Dollar per year, has a circulation extending to every county in Indiana and adjacent territory. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, accompanied by the latent market reports, and special departments devoted to agricultural, horticultural and household topics. It is complete in overy department. V TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. DAILY. One year, rltbont Panday .
