SEW YORK QUOTATIONS. At New York, Satnrday, money on call was easy, with no loans; closing offered at 3 per cent. Frime mercantile paper, 44 E0 per cent hterling exchange was qnict and steady at $4.t2 fcr sixty -day bills and fcl.Si for demand. The total Mies cf stocks were 2C8.QG1 elaie. including the following: Atchi. on.12.CCr3; Erie, 12,005; Hocking Valley. 4,tGo; Louisville & Nashville, 3,100; Misouri Pacific, 6,015; Northwestern, 3,240; Northern Pacific preferred, 5,170; Reading, C$40; Richmond & West Foiut. 4,538; St. Paul, 6,750; Union Pacific, 23,Sw. The stock market opened the new year with an active and buoyant speculation, the "volume of business being something cnnsal for the season of the year, as well as for a half-holiday coming between two full ones. Among the active stocks there Tras heavy buying, in ; which London was something of a factor, while the demand from commission-houses continued tinabated, and outside centers contributed their ouota to make one ot the most active Saturdays (teen in a year. The feature of the dealings, however, was tbe large trading and very substantial advances among the low-priced shares, which are believed 1y some to have a future, the new Lead common scoring a gain of 7M per cent, though the greater part of this was 'tbe simple process of "marking op" which, however, conld not be urged against all of tho very material gain in the others. The industrials were specially conspicuous in the upward move ment. however, and as Lead took the lead amonz the enlisted shares. Chicago Gas led the listed stocks. Among the latter, however, the demand in Union Pacific, Wabasb, New England and C, C. C. & St, Louis was sufficient to raise those shares to the highest prices forsometime, and among the low-uriced shares Toledo. Ann Harbor fc North Michigan, Louisville, New Albans & Chicago. Oregon Short-line, Hocking Valley and the Cotton-oil shares scored gams of from 1 to 3 per cent. The bank statement showed an extraordinary heavy expansion in loans, but the receipts of currency were such as to cause only a comparatively small decrease in the surplns re eerve. and it had no apparent influence upon the prices. The opening was active nod generally large fractions higher than Thursday's figures, and while some sluggishness was shown among the moro prominent stocks, the concessions were insignificant, and others displayed the most pronounced strength. The upward movement in these shares made steady and rapid progress throughout the session aud no special feature other than those mentioned were developed. The market finally closed nctivo at the top prices ot the day. The important gains among the active shares were: Cotton Oil. I3; Sngar. h C, C. C A- St. W 1U ; Chicaeo Gas. SHz New Kmland. l3s; Union Pacific, 1, and Wabash preferred. 11b. : Railroad bonds displaved the same spirit as stocks, though in a less degree. While the leading issues were largelv tradod in their advances were more moderate than those in stocks. The only special feature was Union Pacific notes, which rose 1H per cent., to iG7. on the unusually heavy transactions of $'J97,000. The other aetive bonds were Atchison incomes with $150,000 and the Heading with 8137.0C0, the total sales teaching $1.0:6.000 Government bonds were dnll and steady and State bonds were neglected.

C. T. Experiments with Tomatoes. Fruit World.' Bulletin No. 32. of Cornell Agricultural Station. Hives the results of the experiments at that station during the past three years on tbe cultivation of tomatoes, and the inlluenco of the varions modes of treatment given them. From this bulletin, which ocenpies fifty pages, we condence a few interesting statements. The experiments with fertilizers show that the common notion that heavy fertilizing tends to diminish the quantity of fruit is erroneous. Uniformly larger yields came from heavy fertilizing. Thoroughly disintegrated barn manure was largely used. But there Is some difierencein varieties, and possibly some difference in soils. Tests were made to determine, the comparative eilect of early and late setting. Plants set early in May, and exposed to cold weather, gave earlier results than those set in June, and yielded sometimes nearly live times as much. They were not found to be injured by the cold, raw weather of late sprina as is commonly supposed. They had been twice transplanted previously, and were strong and vigorous plants. Two transplanting gavelargeryields than either one or three. Tests to determine tbe relative vedueof plantsfrom seeds and cuttings gave variable and unsatisfactory results. Pruning, by cutting back all the leadlug shoots Irom six to nine inches, at three different periods, cutting just above a Cower cluster, produced little or variable effect. Hilling, by drawing the soil six inches hiah around each Riant, produced no improvement, orroal, well-grown plants gave much better results than slender, "leggy" ones, even when tbe latter were set deep; and they should therefore be always grown stocky and strong. Moist and shady growth induces rot; ana any system of training which allows free access of sun and air. and holds the plants above the ground, appears to decrease rot. This disease is kept in check by the timely use of Bordeaux rulxtnre. Single-stem training ftavo twice as much yield per sqnarefootas ordinary cultnre. with somewhat earlier results, and it greatly decreased injnry from rot. Although requiring too much labor for field cultnre, it is fitted for early, market or for home use. Care of Fruit Trees. Baltimore American. Frnit trees, even those in vigorous health, will gradually gather moss upon their leading limbs, especially npon the north side. This moss is very injurious to the growth of the tree, as it ehecks the circulation of the sap, thereby robbing the tree ot nourishment, and prevents its free perspiration. It is an enemy in every way, and should be cleaned oft, and now is the time to do it. Short-handled, threecornered steel scrapers may bo had at most agricultural stores made for this especial business. A steel hoe with the handle cut off will answer every pnrpose and can.be had at a slight eost. Scrape the moss off carefuliy so as not to injurtbe bark of the tree. After this is done take a stltt scrubbing brush, have a bucket of hot soapsuds mr.do from strong lye and brush vigorously all the tree liuits having any sign of moss npon them. It requires some strength to be put into the work to make it a success. Many trees have in addition to moss small scale lice, which may be detected, if carefully examined, by being like large white fiy specs; this is the wood aphis, and they do as much damage as '.be moss. These bark lice are very troublesome, especially to pear trees. Many newly-set trees are stunted in their growth by these small insects completely covering their limbs. Give each, tree a vigorous rubbing, and those much covered had better have an annual rubbing until entirely free from their ravages. All fruit trees should be dug around every fall, and have about two good forkfuls of rich, rotted manure spread around tbe tree some little distance from tho trunk. This winter dressing will gradually sink into tho soil, the small fibrous rootlets will absorb the nourishment, and the trees so dressed will start into vigorous growth at the first approach of spring, becoming tine, healthy trees, bearing earlier and more nbnndantly than those which are neglected. ., Net Used to Such Modesty CMctpro Tribnne.

COLD DAY FOR THE "BULLS"

Chicago Whrat Operators Taken by Surprise and Many Lost a Pretty Sam. The January Article Dropped from 00 to S3 53 Cf nts and for a Time There Was a Rnsh to Unload Ccrn Closed at Bottom Figures. TRADING AT CIIICAGO. The Cold Wave Utilized as a Good Clnb by the Bcas., .CHICAGO. Jan. 2. The action of the wheat market to-day was both a surprise and n disappointment to a majority of tho operators. The crowd had apparently loaded up last week with the expectation that the advent of the new year would bring a revival of the trade and bsttcr prices, but tho reverse was true. Prices, instead of going up, went down, and there was vexy little recovery. In the early dealings there was a fair amount of activity, but at the bottom the market became as dull as it was in tho early part of tho week, and telegrams from other trading centers indicated a similar state of affairs. The outside publio has not resumed its interest in the market since tbe holidays, and commission-houses had little to do. The news from Europe was not encouraging, a holiday dullness still ruling there, and early dispatches quoted Berlin S marks lower. The cold wave, which has been expected for some time, was reported to be spreading out over the winter-wheat belt, where the mercury was dropping, with every indication of getting below the zero mark to-night But the unprotected condition of the wheat plant did not avail to turn the tide of bearish sentiment, especially as snow was reported accompanying the low temperature in places. It was reported early that fifty boat-le ads of wheat had been unexpectedly dolivored on January contracts in New York, breaking tho market. This had a bearish effect in this market. The deliveries on January contracts hero were light, but there was an unusual pressure to sail for this month with very little call for it. and the discount was incresed, dropping to ttl4C under May, against Ss'SoHc on Thursday. Tho pressure to sell January and tho weakness of that month had a depressing ottect on May. There was practically no outside trade, and the local seutimeut was bearish, hence free offerings were a dead weight and no one seemed disposed to take care of them or give any support to the market. Charles Wright, was one of the leading sellers, though the crowd was also heavily on that side. Pardridte, however, was a good buyer almost from the tart, and covered a big line of aborts. Late cables were wtak, with Berlin demoralized and 5 matks lower. January, which closed at 00 Vic Thursday, opened at VOc, sold oft to SSVic, and closed at S3sac. May. which closed at Ujo Thursday, opened at l534c. selling At once to J5?sc, sagged oil' steadily to 91c, and closed at Wc. a loss of lc. Corn was quiet and inclined to weakness early in the day, but finally steadied and held firm. Tho receipts were only moderatly 248 cars and included only thirteen cars of the contract grade. Tho weakness in wheat made corn easy at the start, but stronger cables and the free export movement finally caused a stronger tone. The exports of corn for the entire month of November were only 2.008,000 bu. but for the last week the shipments were 2,251,000 bn 785.000 bu during tbe last two days. The deliveries on Jr.nnary contracts amounted to about &00.C00 bu, and this was a weakening faotor early. The close was steady at tbe bottom figures of the day, and at losses ranging from lc to Mc for the various futures compared with Thursday. ' Oats were dull and weak and closed with a loss of to ?ic.V liog products opened higher, but when it was known that large receipts of hogs were expected Monday and next week there was a sharp decline. This was also assisted by rather free doliveries, which the recipients undertook to get rid of. There was some recovery from bottom figures, however, and the close shows moderate losses for pork and ribs, while lard is unchanged to a little higher. Estimated receipts forMonday are: Wheat, 280 cars; corn, S90 cars; oats, 2b0 cars; hogs. 43,000 head, and 210,000 for next week. The leading futures ranged as follows:

The wheat market was disappointing to-day to a great many traders who bad become possessed of a bullish spirit, and who believed wheat would jump ud the first trading day in January, and Saturday at that. Wheat did not advance, but instead went down almost lo from the onening price. May opened at Olc, and that was the highest point of the day. There was a prompt decline to 01c, and then to OOc, when it continued steady to the close on narrow liuctuations around 01c There was little trading done. The cash market was lively, and millers as usual hustled lor wheat. Sales were large and at prices for No. 1 Northern inside of So from May price. The receipts cf wheat here were 56s cars, and at Dnlutb and Superior 258. Clos: January opened at 06c, closed at 8Cc; May opened at 01 Vjo, highest Olc, lowest OOso, closed at 904 c.

Don't leave roe bitched in my stall all night with a big cob right where 1 must lie down. I am tied and can't select a smooth place. Don't forget to file my teeth when they get jagged and I cannot chew my food. When 1 get lean it la a sign my teeth want Ming. Don't make me drink ice-cold water nor ut a frosty bit in my month. Warm tho it by holding a ball minute against my body. Don't compel me to eat more salt than I want by mixing it with my oats. 1 know better than any other animal how much I need. Don't Bay whoa unless you mean it. Teach me to stop at the word. It may check me if the lines break and save a rnuaway ami smash-up. Don't trot me up hill, for 1 have to carry you and the buggy and myself, too. Try it yourself some time. Run np hill with a big load. Don't forget the old book that is a friend of all tbe oppressed, that says: "A taercitul man is mercitul to bis beast." Canada Thistles. 1 have often seen inquiries in your paper at to the best method of exterminating Canada thistles, unt have not noticed that which I have found efl'ective and inexpensive. It was impossible to kill them by plowing and hoeing, for if the ground is fnll of roots they will come up like mushrooms, ana every, day now boots appear. and tbe result is labor thrown awav. Several years since 1 hsd a ten-acre tract teeded with clover and timothy, and tbn whole of it was so fnll of thistles that I cat it early ami drew the entire crop clorer, timothy nnd thistles to a pile, and when dry set tiro to it. This was in the first days of Jnljr. when tho stalk is hollow, and since that time 1 have cut two crops of excellent crass, last year a crop of corn and this year a crop of oats, and it is hard to lind a single shoot of thistle there now. I Dav.hUo mowed them in pastures at about the same time with like result Mr idea is that lettins: the air and water fill tn stnt when hollow destroys the vitality of the plant. My experience has been such that I do not consider them a pest at alL Let anr one who is troubled by them treat them in this war. and I am convinced his experience will bo the same as mine. '
