CONDITION OF THE MARKETS Wheat Takes Another Drop at Chicago and Closes Below the Dollar 3Iark. All the News in Favor of the Bears; Who Were Assisted Also by Heavy Eecelpts Corn Also Lower ProTisions Actixe. BIO NET, STOCKS AND BONDS. Market Extremely Active, with Large Trans, actions at Higher rrlces. NEW YORK. An. 29. Money on call was easy, with no loans, closing offered at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper 53407 per ca-t Sterling exchange quiet and steady at $4.23 for sixty-day bills and $4.85 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 257,C63 shares, including the following: Atchison. 1,900; Chicago Gas, 4,800; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 14,315; Erie, 9,315; Louisville & Nashville, 14,555; Missouri Pacific. 5,053; Northwestern, 4.100; Northern Pacific. 2,960; Reading, 4,700; Richmond Sc. West Point. 3,813; St. Paul. 14.400; Union Pacific. 13.865. The stock to arte t to-day was extremely actlre, the transactions for two boars of business being the largest seen for that time in mwre than a year, except daring the November panio of last year. The list displayed the most pronounced strength, and notwithstanding that realizations on the advances of the week were unusually large the demand was each that prices halted only for ashorttimo and then resumed their Howard movement all along the line." The buying was of the best quality and waa very marked in volamo lor both foreign and domestio operators, the bullish feeling running very high and carrying all before it. The bank statement showed a further loss in surplus reserve, but it had no e fleet, even for the moment, and the triumphant advance met with no check after the first half-Hour's trading. The opening was strong at fractional advances over last night's figures, and the early demand sent the list further on its upward march. The realizations here caused a temporary set-back but the buying was then resumed in earnest and the prices began a forward movement. -which lasted until the close. ..The market finally closed very active and decidedly strong at the highest prices for the day and the week. The traaing reached the nnusual total of 252,118. Railroad bonds kept pace with stocks in the amount of business done, though the strength was not quito eo pronounced and the business was not so evenly distributed. The total business done reached $2,474,000. Erie second displayed marked strength, rising from 101 to 1034. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were neglected.

TRADING AT CHICAGO. Wheat and Com Go Down In Price, the Former Ilelovr tlio DolUr 3Irk. CHICAGO. Aug. 29. -Weakness was again the feature on the Hoard of Trade today, and everything closed lower, wheat going below the dollar mark. The trading iu cereals was light, but provisions were fairly active. Wheat opened weak nnd lower, but there were plenty of buying orders around $1 for December, and their execution caused a temporary upward movement. December started at Si u 1 .0034, ana soon advanced to Sl.OO. Then came a lot of sollinir orders, chietly from New York, and renewed weakness was the result, the price quickly retiring to $1 again. Here some stop-loss orders were reached, and the price was made 997c, with one or two sales at 99 "Uc. The buying orders at $1 again came into play, and the crowd, starting to take protits on earlier . sales made at over that price, soon put the market up again. The advance was again checked when Sl.Ol's was reached. Another jumo to l followed, but the buyers at that price were, upon this occasion, overwhelmed

by the vim of the sellers, who. with things going their way, expressed their advantage and crowded the price iown to 9980 about ten minutes from the close. The resting price was 993sc. The news was ali bearish. The foreign markets readily acquiesced in the concessions in prices offered from this side, and the cablegrams received this morning reflected the weakest sort of feeling, more especially at Liverpool. The Northwest continued to send in dispatches denying any serious damage to wheat from the recent frost. The chief mlluencing factor toward the end of the session was tho evidence being furnished by the estimated receipts for Monday that the movement of winter wheat was not likely to let up in volume at present, 70 cars being the probable inspection returns for the first day of next week. The rorn market was a parallel to wheat in the irregularity of the opening prices. October sold at from 5GM20 to 5Cc, principally, however, around the lower quotation. There was a heavy business done for about ten minutes near the opening, but it quieted down after that time, and was only snbjected during the remainder of the session to occasional spurts of activity. A nervous feeling prevailed, and the movements of the clique brokers were watched very closely. The receipts were much heavier than had been looked for 006 cars, as against estimates made yesterday of 850 cars, and for Monday 1.025 cars were the predicted receipts. The later weakness in wheat was reflected in the corn pit, and October, after having reached 57Mic, when wheat reached its highest figure, broke to 557c, but rallied and closed at 56Hc. The heaviest business in oats was done early in tho day. The market was fairly active, but weak. Heavy receipts, free selling and tbe slump in other cereals were influences that governed the market. There was temporary steadiness in the market for hog products at the opening, due to the receipts of hogs being only 6,500 compared with 9,000 estimated yesterday, and an active demand for them being reported from the yards. The weakness in corn and wheat caused a stop to any general desire to buy which the small receipts at the yards had started, and this gave place to the weakness which was tbe character of tbe business during the greater part of the session. The closing prices were from 7Mi012c lower for pork, and .02Mzo for lard and ribs. Tho

The Volume of Trade This Week Hardly Up to Expectations. INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 29. In most departments trade in the week closing to-day fell short of the expectations of the wholesale men, yet it compares favorably with the volume at the corresponding period last year. Prices have varied but little. Sugars are unchanged, while roasted grades of coffees are a half cent lower than a week ago, yet green coffees are selling at the same prices as for some time past. Canned goods are attracting but little attention. That it is to bean oil year for this class of goods is evident, so abundant is the fruit crop all over the country. If the reported scarcity of winter apples proves correct it may improve tbe trade in canned goods. The hide market is flat Leather dealers report trade fair. The dry-goods men are selling some good bills and look for an active trade next month. Every article in tho vegetable line except potatoes is selling low, and tbe same is trne of fruits, both homegrown aud foreign, lemons excepted. The Hour market is still disappointing in demand and in prices, and millers arc not pushing business very strongly. Other markets are without feature. GRAIN. The local grain market is not reaching expectations in many respects. Dealers are cot bidding with as much spirit as in the early part of the month. Wheat is coming forward in less quantities than expected, while there is a larger Quantity of corn oflered than had been looked for, and oats are moving very freely.

Philadelphia Record. Rye as a crop for late fall and early spring pasturage is more negloctcd than any other, considering its many advantages and low cost. It seems to be the only crop that tills in the gap between fall and spring, by providing green food at a seasou when nothing can be had but dry provender. For its grain ryo may not boas remunerative as some crops, but. outside .of the grain to be obtained from it, rye possesses advantages that should commend it to all. and, as it is nearly time to sow rye, attention may be called to it as a boiling crop that should be grown on every farm uoon which cattle are led. As rye occupies the gfoond at a time when the land is not required for use, and when it would otherwise remain idle and unproductive, without the necessity for labor other than plowing the land and broadcasting the seed, its cost is insignificant compared with its value for late and early pasturing. It can be grown on any soil, adapting itself on light, sandy locations that will not permit of any other grain crop, and when used for supplying green food, where the grain is not expected to mature, it draws but little nonrisement from the soil, and is consequently not exhaustive. Long after grass has disappeared the green rye will aflord a change to the cattle by allowing them green food with the daily rations of hay and grain; and, as it not only grows up as fast as it is grazed down, but becomes thicker, no damage is done tbe rye. When the snow is not covering the ground, tho rye may be cut and carried to the stock, if it has made sullicient ' growth, but it is better to allow the cattle to craze upon it if the land is not too wot. Early in tbe spring, before grass makes its appearance, ryo springs up to afford the first green food for tho cattle, and after the grass appears, and grazing on the rye is no longer necessary, it will start oil in growth and produce a crop of grain and tdraw. When ryo is seeded in the fall tho plowing of the land necessitates the destruction of many yonng woads, and as the ryo takes possession of tbe land it destroys any weeds that may appear later. If used as a green crop for cattle in late fall aud early spring, it will make sufficient growth after the stock has been removed to provide a green mauurial crop for corn, thus adding to the soil much plant food that it secured during the winter from the atmosphere, which was brought to it by the rains and snows. Rye makes not only late aud early pasturage, therefore, but destroys weeds, serves as a green manurial crop, assists tbe following crop, does not exhaust the soil, is not in the way of any other crop, and costs lesshan any other crop that may be grown on The farm. Green Corn and New Potatoes When there are both corn and now potatoes remaining cold a savory combination can be made as follows: The corn is cut from the cob, the potatoes cut in quarter-inch dice; a frying pan is put over the tire containing both aud inst enough butter to permit browning: they nro stirred often enough to brown them evenly, seasoned highly with salt and pepper and served hot as soon as they are golden brown.

New York Tribune, The most snccessf ul poultry-raiser I ever knew, a woman whose bales of poultry and eggs reached $3,000 a year, laid down a rule never to bo deviated from, to pnsh all stock so as to make its growth as rapid as possible, and sell jnst as soon as marketable. A man who has for years grown 150 pigs yearly aud sold them at six months old, says no farmer can aflord to feed a pig longer than this. 1 have attained a weight of 200 pounds at this ago, and found the cost per pound is much lets than when 1 feed longer and make a weight of r00 pounds or more, and tho risk from lost by disease is very much less than from older hogs. If pigs are sold at this age the spring litters need not be dropped till cold weather is over, say April 1. and will bo marketed before winter weather sets in, so that no feed will be wasted in maintaining vital heat The fall litters can bo dropped in time to get a good start before cold weather sets in, and in a good hog-house can be kept thrifty all win ter and sold In early spring. 1 find it profitable to keep the fall litters till a month or more older than tho spring litters, so as to linish them oil for tho market after the cold weather is over. I find it profitable to raiso two litters a year, for mature sowa ffivo the largest and most vigorous pigs, and the cost of keeping a full grown sow is large, and the second litter will add to tho prciit. To make pig-growing profitable they must be pushed from the start and at tho rame time good judgment must be exercised in feeding. Milk is the best and corn tho worst feed for pigs during the lirst few months, when they are forming bone and muscle. Yet I can make good thrilty pigs without milk, and can raise fairly good pigs with corn as the main food. Next to milk I prefer bran, oats and oil meal, and can make a fairly good and palatable slop from these, and push a rapid growth. Tho lirst thing to be done is to get the pigs to eating before tbey aro weaned, so that their growth will not be checked when taken from their mother. Until four months old tho growth of frame should be pushed as much as possible, but do not attempt to fatten them, and, for this reason, the less corn they cat the better. At four montha old begin to feed corn, moderately at first, but iu ten days you may give them all they will est, but you will get growth as well as fat. and more lean meat if you keep up the bran slop until they are ready for market, I believe in feeding three times a day just what tbey will eat clean, and so tbey will always come with a good appetite for tbe next meal, rather than to keep food by them all the time, as some do. I have, for many years, fattened my own meat from spring pigs fed in this way, and think I have a better quality of pork than it would be possible forme to buy. How to Train a Colt National Stockman. Teach your colt to halter, and to bridle, and to lead before ono yearold. Two men can do this best one to lead the other to drive with the whip. As soou as you get it to go a Jew rods say "whoa'' and stop, pat it and give it right Start oil again till it will lead well. Put it iu the stall and give it right. Repeat every week till it will lead well. Do cot use it roughly nor make it too tame, but let it know that you are the boss.

Do not overload him; not more than he can do easily, aud do not drive up hill too fast or till yonr team is tired. Let them rest before they are tired, then they will always start gain.
