The Week Opoi Trlh More Animated Starket, Without Material Change In Trices. NEW YOKK. March SO. Money on call was easy, ranging from 2 to 3 per cent, last loans being in ado at 2, closing offered at 22 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 57 per cent. SUrling exchange dull and easy at So for aixty-day bills and $4.88 for demand. The total sales of stooka to-day were 175,000 shares, including the following: Atchison, 6,943; Lackawanna. 6,930; Manhattan, 8jGO; Missouri Pacific. 5.1JX); Northern Pacilic, 8,658; Northern Paciho preferred. 10,400; St. Paul, 22,010. The stock market opened the new week this morning with considerable more animation than usual of late, although the dealings were still restricted to small amounts, and bad still a professional character. There was. however, more interest in the leading shares, and the inactive stocks were not so largely traded in, which is regarded as a good sign. There was a notable amount of stocks seeking a market this morning, and this, of itstdf. militated against an active market, but the buying was undoubtedly good, and the spells of animation to which the market was subjected during the day were rarely accompanied by an upward movement in prices, showing conclusively that the bears had not the courage of their convictions. The granger were still the most prominent group of stocks, and, notwithstanding the decrease in the gross earnings of Burlington reported, that stock and itock Island were conspicuously strong, as were also Northern Pacific preferred and the leading industrials. There were few movements of importance among the specialties, but Manhattan made some wide fluctuations and closed higher. The general list, after a tirni opening. was doll, but followed the lead of the active . shares and advanced steadily, though slowly, from opening to close. The upward movement met with no real Bet-back throughont the day, and the last prices were generally the highest. Among the industrials. Sugar was most active and scored a marked advance, but in the general list all the important movements were in the letting active stocks. The close was fairly active and strong at the highest prices or thereabouts.

The market was strong, in close sympathy with the trading in shares, but the tinal changes are generally slight fractions, except in the inactive issues.

Prices of Cereals Higher, with an Unsettled Feeling, and a Fair Demand. CHICAGO, March SO. The speculative trading was strongly in favor of higher prices, and opened with immediate advances for all tho leading commodities. The tone thus early imparted was'maintained throughout the session, but a considerable advance over the prices paid immediately at the start, which subsequently occurred, was afterward dropped so that the gain in the end did not exceed that secured on the tirat brush. So far as wheat was concerned the prospects for the coming crop in this country were arrayed against the damage already done to the. crop in Europe, and the day's reports were strongest in the latter particular. May opened higher than it closed on Saturday, and at once advanced ho more. The cauje of the opening bulge was not at once ascertainable. Easter Monday is a holiday abroad, so there were no cable market reports; the weather here was rainy, which luruished arguments on both sides, and Northwestern receipts were liberal. Later it was learned that a private dispatch from Antwerp quoted the market there stronger, and tho lirst bulge was attributed to that. An advance of about lc on such slight foundation was considered too much by the bears, aud they at once began selling, with the result that Ljc was knocked oti the prices. It was remarked, however, that the market appeared to have wonderful elasticity and rebonnd to it after every slight drop, and it soon became known that the Antwerp dispatch referred to was not the only piece of ioreign news at the bottom of the excellent buying. C. A. Pillsbury, the Minneapolis miller, had a private cablegram quoting the stocks at Odessa down to a low ebb, Kussian farmers unwilling sellers and a considerable damage to the Kussian crop; and . a prominent house received a London dispatch describing the English crop as being backward, and the weatner there frostj. In addition to the foregoing news free loading of wheat at San traiicisco. for export, was reported, and another jump to the highest point of the day followed. The opening price for the May delivery was 1.041, and it advanced to $1.042, then declined to 1.01, gradually reacted to Si. 01,jh before making its greatest break to i-l.Oo It then advanced to $1.05 in an irregular way, and broke to SLOJ1. The free realizing of profits on early purchases was chiefly responsible for the fistback to prices toward the close. The corn market was strong and nervous. It started at anywhere from CSc to (Vyic for May, but weakened and eold oil to 07:Vc. There was a very irregular range in th subsequent fluctuations, but the leoliug of strength developed at the opening was for t.ie greater part of the day fairly maintained. There was a spurt in the latter half of the session which took May up to Mi lie. This was oaused by the scarcity of the cash offerings, compelling one of the heaviest local nsers of corn to buy from the elevator stocks at lc over the price current for the May delivery. The July future did not respond to the extreme bulge in May. but also ruled firm aud occasionally strong. The transactions of pats were very light; the demand was urgent and there was nothing of consequence for sale, hence an advance of Itc was recorded before the trade became general. Values were fulh' lc higher early, when there was considerable realizing, which caused a corresponding decline. The anxietv of the shorts to cover turned the tide the other way for a time, but the close was weak, with prices VVjo higher than on Saturday, The provision market waa

excited by the advancein the price of hozs reported from the stockyards. The prices paid were very irregular, but higher. Commission houses found it very difficult to exeeuteorders satisfactorily uudcr the rapid running up and down of values. May pork opened anywhere from$l2.8. to $13. It sold off to SIS.T?1. and again advanced to $13.80, and closed at $12.b5. Lard and ribs were equally irregular and excited, but closed with the greater part l the early bulge lost. The leading futures ranged as follows:

The Foreign Grain Trade. LONDON. March SO. The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: English wheats have been strongly held at an advance of Is. Foreign wheats shared in the strength, and prices showed an average advance of 3d. Trade was firmer all along the line. Corn, beans and peas are up Gd. Barley and oats are 3d dearer. The prospects of the wheat crops in Russia, Austria and Hungary give hope of an increased export surplus amounting to 4.000.0X) quarters. Against this must be set the certainty of a heavy import demiiud from F'rance, Italy, Belgium. Hol land and Germany. The r.ehciency in thoe countries, combined with the wants in England, is expected to absorb the surplus wheat of America. Austria and Russia, thus c-tusiug a decidedly higher mean value during the cereal year of 18Q1-92. TItADK IN GENERAL. Quotations at Philadelphia, llaltlmore, Cincinnati and Other Points. ST. LOUIS.

Sellers started out by holding about lc over the May price, but bad hard work to get it. There would apparently have been a good demand at 20 above May. Local millers were the principal buyers. Sales of No. 1 Northern were mainly from $1.01 to S?.02, the latter obtained only for fancy wheat when futures were the strongest. No. 2 Northern sold np well, some very fancy cars being $1.01, but the bulk went at 002C early, up to $1.00o, when the bulge was on in May. Receipts for two days, 221 cars: shipments. 81 ears.

Trade Slow, with, but Few Changes In Values. INDIANAPOLIS, March SO. Trade usually is slow the last three days of the month, and when heavy rains and bad roads are added to this naturally light trade it makes business decidedly dull. Seldom is trade more quiet in all departments than it was to-day. On the wholesale streets a number of merchants left their business in the afternoon to. attend the funeral of .George C. Webster, who was one of the oldest and most popular wholesale merchants on the street. In prices no changes calling for note were made. In the hide market there is a better feeling, but it has not as yet affected prices. Eggs are weak at 13 cents; demand light, and it likely will be until eggs are still lower. Poultry and butter are steady and in good demand. Everything in the fruit and vegetable line carries tho stroug tone as to prices of weeks past. Even the new crop of green stuff being shipped in here starts at figures away above those of the corresponding period last year. The Hour market continues in the better position of several days past, and prices are really improving. Millers, however, fear

that the improvement is but temporary. In the grocery and dry-goods markets there is nothing new to note. CHAIN". The local market opeued strong, and continued so through the day.

Pear trees do not come into bearing until from five to seven years old, while peach trees begin to bear when from two to three years old. Much of the future usefulness of the trees depends on their early treatment, and with good management the bearing periods may be prolonged to a longer time. It is really of no advantage to bare young trees begin to bear too early, nor should they be allowed to make too much growth without cutting back. Much depends on the variety, and before planting an orchard the proper varieties suitable for the climate and soil should bo selected. To nse a choice variety, that will net adapt itself to the conditions, will result unsatisfactorily. It is now the praotice with some to set out peach trees between the pear trees, so as to have the peach trees bear crops and die before the pear trees are ready. This will utilize the land to the best advantage, but only for a short time, as it is doubtful if anything will be gained in the end. Pear trees and peach trees do not require tho rame cult iuution, and no one should put out peach trees unless with a view of endeavoring to have a permanent orchard. Some varieties of pears, such as the Bartlett, are very slow in growing, while others, like the Keifer, are strong and vigorous, but the fruit of the former is much superior to the latter. Peach trees should be well cut back the first tw o years after they are set out, and may also be well cut back the third year, but pear trees do not require very severe cutting. To grow them togi thM will retard the progress of both, especially as the peach dblights in a clear field and no obstacles. The blight in pearsaud yellows in peaches are the chief obstacles, not forgetting the borers, but science now enables the growers to combat the blight. The so-called yellows in peach trees may be the result of the work of lice on the roots, and it this proves true in many cases, as is believed, the life of the peach tree may be extended

Neither does be think it psys to soil to country stores. He nss realize this winter, on the btttter of a small dairy -i eeveu cows, from 23 to S4 cents per ponnd in the Chicago market, less a rents for freight and commissions, and advises all farmers who make ten pounds or over per k to adopt this method. This point is worth thiukintt over by farmers who make butter that has the quality, in ll&vor, texture and color, to command good prices. There is no doubt that the farmer who has entire) control of the milk can, if he will, make butter equal to the creamery, and if he hac a market for it, can make winter dairying protitable. A very little supplies the demand at the country store, and the eurplur must fo, good and bad together, and at the price of tha bad. When tarmrrs can make a package a week, large or siuall.it will pay them to ship to a distant market, provided they can make nxst-class goods
