The stock market to-day, considering the utter collapse ol the telegraphic aystem, was quite active, but the opportunity to break the market was too good to be wasted by the advocates ot lower figures, and a series of raids upon the Gould stocks and the coal stocks brought the prices of all of them down materially, though there was 6ome company for them among the rest of the list. 8tbp orders were uncovered in some of the stocks, and considerable long stock was sold. The first break was in Missouri Pacific, but it was sold down by two of the leading room traders. Union Pacific followed with "a break of over 2 per cent., and all the leading Western stocks sympathized to a limited extent. Later in the day Jersey Central had a severe drop on light transactions, falling away to 100 against 1132 at the last previous sale last week. Lackawanna and Heading joined in the downward movement, thoagh the last named was kept rather quiet. The professional element . was everywhere conspicuous in . helping the market down, bat long stock came oat on the break. In the last hour Manhattan joined the weak stocks, falling 3 per cent., bat the rest of the list made a material recovery in the late dealings, when there was something of a rush to cover short stocks put ont earlier in the day at higher prices. Chicago Gas was the strong spot in the market to-day, and. altnough it liuctuated within comparatively narrow limits and its final gain was an insigniheent fraction, its late weakness and the weakness of the restof the list made it conspicuons today. There was specially heavy covering in Lackawanna. Union Pacific and JerseyCentral in the last few minutes' trading, and the market closed firm at something better than the lowest prices. The final changes are almost all losses, and Jersey Central is down Manhattan 21. Union Pacific l3. Pacific Mail 14, Lackawanna 13g, Reading 14. C, C. C. & St. Louis 14 and Wheeling & Lake Erie 18. Railroad bonds were dull, and although displaying a steadiness in the general list were weak in spots, and of the final changes of importance there are many declines. The trading was accompanied by no feature whatever, and the day's business reached only $1)03,000. International seconds cer- . tificates lost 8, at 72; Minneapolis & St. Lonis hrste 2, at 103, and Iowa sevens 22, to 92. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were entirely neglected.

There was an enor xnous quantity of long wheat dumped upon the crowd during the first fifteen minutes' operations, bnt a genuine wide-spread scare among the "shorts'1 absorbed, the heavy offerings and in spite of them carried the price upward from a round 97c and 970 to&734. There was a lively tussle for the roaster; at 0730, but that being overcome the additional 3o was put on without xnnch trouble. The principal fluctuations between the time referred to and 12 o'clock weraa downward reaction to 97c, an advance to Whc. another slight decline to CTc, a gradual advance to 97c, a quick bulge to &77t,c. followed by a rapid decline to iffife. All the commission-houses and the scalpers goaded the already excited 'bears" by wildly bidding sixteenths over them when they ghowed any more than the ' usual

eagerness in covering their shorts. There was a decline about 12:15 p. M. to 9058C, and the prices and trading halted for a few minutes at 9034C but the attempted execution of a few buying orders caused the price to jump to 972C in a few minutes. The corn trade was atleoted considerably by the strong feeling among the operators in wheat and opened for May at an advance of 3,c over Saturday's resting prices. The first transactions were at 5234C, and a bulge immediately followed, which carried it to 53c. whtch latter was the top future for the day. There was a reaction to 520 and another slight upturn to 52?i'&527fcC. but during the latter half of the session heaviness was the rule and a decline to 52c took dace. The strength in wheat and corn had ut little eflect on the oats market, which was barely stead. There ws only a small amount of business, owins to the absence of country orders. The firmness in erain circles gave an unsubstantial appearance of strength to the provision market at the opening. The packers were not slow to take the measure of hew much product such a market would absorb, and piled their offerings on top of it until it had sagged back from an advance of 15c in the matter of pork to a decline in the end of 5o below the level of Saturday's closingquotation. Lard made scarcely any change, and ribs, after a.05o advance, are .02 lower than at the close of the preceding week. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Vick's Monthly. When one has discovered which kinds of crops he can best produce it is important to hold steadily to raising them, aiid not, on account of fluctuations in the market, to shift from one thing to another from year to year. This is the regular movement, ebb and flow, of the great mass of cultivators, and the result is that some crops are always overproduced or underproduced. The onion U a notable example of this sort Among fruits the strawberry is constantly subject to this shifting movement. Only the steady cultivator gets any benefit- by a short crop, while the mass of growers are nearly always met with a full and low-priced market. UnUHual success in any particular crop, by reason of superior local advantages, will often induce many others to nudertake similar production, and often with the effect of finding sale with little or no profit at most, or perhaps worse, with an actual loss. Celery-growing the past year has been widely extended, and in many cases far beyound the needs of local consumption, leaving heavy stocks to be thrown into the great markets where but little is realized from them. A notable instance among fruits iu the Northern States at the firesent time is grape-growing. Certain ocalities favorable to the production of grapes of tine quality having established a profitable industry after many years of trial and difficulty, now find that their saccess has encouraged many persons to plant vineyards on grounds with no particular adaptation to them and with the resultsfof producing a large mass of fruit of interior grade. The result is not that the good fruit brings the best price, but the price of the frmt of poor quality determines that of the whole without distinc tion. Such is the fact. Some newspaper writers maintain that an overproduction of fruit is impossible. We know that it is not impossible, and especially with perishable fruits like the strawberry and the grape. Though the latter under certain conditions can be kept several inontns, yet these conditions are such that but few vine-growers can command them, and the result is the frnit mnst be sent forward for sale as it matures, without reference to the state of the market. Thus to-day a large proportion of grape-growers in this State are living meagerly aud discounting their returns before their crops are matured. Some parties having vines for sale have led many to plant vines in unsuitable localities, claiming that a crop of grapes can be raised wherever corn can be grown. A gross misstatement, as we all know. Shall we continue to plant apple orchr.idsf Yes, but not largely and only in the most suitable locations and ot a few of the most profitable varieties. Compara tively little planting ot apple trees has beon done the past ten years, population has increased, many, of the old orchards are ruined and many others are becoming so. in the future more care will betaken

of orchards than formerly.
