Yesterday was practically tho first business day of the new year In Wall street, and the opening, considered either from a business point of view or from tho standpoint of its increase in values, was most auspicious. The market was broader and more active If not stronger than on any day since the present rise began, the business done being the largest since tho Baring failure precipitated the great selling movement. Brokers reported that commission orders to buy stocks were coming in lroin all quarters, and that fact, in connection with the strength of the market, led them into predictions that 1802 will witness the greatest advance in price that Wail street has ever seen before. The feeling was undoubtedly very bullish, and the sales undoubtedly resulted in increasing the "short" interest without depressing prices or even checking the upward movement to any extent. The low-priced snares were sot quite so prominent in the dealing as on Saturday, but there were many marked movements among them which were overshadowed by the more important transactions in the leading stocks. Among the most prominent stocks were Louisville, New Albany & Chicago. New England, was the most prominent stock of the day, not only "coring the largest business, but fairly taking the lead in the advance, though its marked gain is net to be accounted for ' by any new developments in regard to the property, its movements being IneXpliCa'to s usuai. vu tiiu uvuci uauu iuo Wheeling &. Lake Erie shares were strong on the announcement that the investments . held by that company -would show an increased income in 1S02 of about $125,000 over that of last year, independent of the general increase of thebusinessof theroad. The common reached 40 and the preferred crossed bO, the highe st prices they have yet attained. Keadingand Atchison followed New England in point of activity, bnt only the former displayed any marked strength, while Missouri Pacific, whose business was only moderate, rose on the strength of the favorable talk on the part of the Gould following. and KocK Island on the report that the stock will be taken care of by a new pool under the leadership of Mr. James Keene. Among the low-priced shares Louisville, NewAllany & Chicago was very prominent, and it is now being bought on the official announcement that all the new stock of the company has been sold, and that tbo new equipment of the road will increase the net earnings in 1892 by a quarter of a million dollars. The trading in the general list was ery widely and evenly distributed. Prices were in almost all cnaes advanced fractionally, notwitstandmg that there were heavy realizations throughout the day, and the pressure by the short" sellers, and especially in the late dealings, compelled some concessions in values. The new Lead stocks were also a weak point in the market, but seemed to have no apparent effect upon the other industrials. Among the specialties Citizens Gas was the only one to make any special improvement, but all wer strong and shared in the general upward movement. The market ilnally closed fairly firm and still very active after considerable concession in values dnring the last hour. Kmlroad bonds were also specially active, and while the trading in the Pacific seconds. Union Pacific, Denver fc Gnlf firsts and a few others was more than the average, the business was more evenly distributed than for many a day and the other transactions reached the high figure of S4.2CH.ooo. The improvement was general, but like that in stocks was in most cases confined to fractions and the Toledo, Kansas City &. Pacific firsts even retired 1 per cent. toi&c The government bonds were dull and firm and State bonds were dull and without feature.

Arrivals or Corn In Had Condition In Vcw York Injurious to Mny Shippers. On 'Change.yesterday.whrat ruled weak, corn quiet, and oats quiet and steady. There were inspected in 2 car-loads of wheat, 15 of corn and 2 of hay. Buyers for export don't like the beginning of the new year. Yesterday cables came in lower for both wheat and flour. In addition comes the report of large shipments to Europe, amounting to over five and a halt millon bushels of wheat, against a fraction over five millions for the week before. Following these comes the extraordinary increafo in tho visible supply. All these things tend to make a very weak market Corn sympathized materially with wheat, and the receipts proving in excess of demand a considerable decline in prices followed. The grading of corn is not improving and the large quantity of very poor stock that is arriving tends to depress prices more than anything else. Cars are more plentiful and shippers are endeavoring to burry their poor corn out. fearing to keep it on hand during unsettled weather. Some of thestntl going to New York from points in ludiaua and Illinois has been on the road live or six weeks and is now arriving at its destination. The consequence is that much of that corn, as it was in transit in wet and warm weather, is out of

IE M

condition and will sell very low. This has injured many shippers hero and elsewhere in the West. Prices on 'Change yesterday ruled as follows: Wheat-No. 2 red. fllVjc: No. 8 red, fc; rejected.

In cutting hay and fodder the length of cutis of considerable importance. If the cut ieed is to be wet and meal mixed with it the shorter it is cut the better, fodder particularly, for it will take up the water more readily and become softer and more digestible, as well as more palatable. If it is to bo fed dry. then it may be cut in lengths of an inch and a half to two inches, this leugtb being better than a shorter one for fodder, because the cows will not get their mouths sore on account of the hard pieces of stalk cutting their gums when they get the pieces upright betweeu tbeir jaws. When the fodder is cut short and wet and softened this objection doei not apply. The English farmers speak of "chatting" instead of cutting their bay, and if we can get our bay and fodder into the condition of chaff as regards fineness it will be to our advantatze. The only objection to be made to this short cutting is tbo time it takes to do it, but there is usually plenty of time to spare in winter. Finely cut hay, fodder and straw can be better mixed together than when cnt long, and by mixing them we can sometimes teed to better advantage than to feed separately. Wo have found when we have cut a large quantity of corn fodder at one time that it soon lost its sweet smell, and unless it was thoroughly dry would, if piled in large beans, heat tip and become musty. Wo finally adopted the plan of mixing the cut fodder with cut bay or straw as soon as possible after cuUiug it. and it then kept in good condition. Catting fodder pays, not only by making it more convenient to feed, but in having the manure in such fine condition to handle, thero being no lontr. tough stalks to bother. This is quite an item where larco quantities of fodder are used and the manure is drawn out in the field iu winter to be used on spring crops. , Iloracmatn's Hint. Esgilsh Farm sod Home. Judgment la necessary in making no a ration for a horse, as there is great d inference in reaulrements and rowers of assimi lation. Those with largo bones and looselooking joints generally require more food in proportion to their weisht than short, closely-knit, snug-looking horses. The ration should be increased or decreased as may be neceseary to keep tho animal in good working condition. When idle the horso requires and will be satis fied with much less food than when there is a large daily expenditure of energy in work. If it can be forseen that incroa&ed exertlou will be demanded, in crease the food as regards quality, and .work moderately, as being tho best prep aration for it. As preparation for increased work it is common to keen the ani mal in the stable several days, and stuff with as much food as it will eat, as though strength and endnrancecould be bottled np. and the stomach was a kind of tender to the engine, from which reserves of fuel, or condensed energy could be drawn during the trip. The horse bo treated it the one that does the journey in a most unsatisfactory manner or breaks down under the extra demand on strength.

HOLIDAY DULLNESS-HOLES

Chicago Grain Tits Nearly Deserted on Account of the Annual Election. Foreign Xetrs and Stagnation in Domestic Markets All Indicated a Seize of Lower Trices fork Strengthened at the Close. ' TRADING AT CHICAGO. Corn and Oats Hoth Take a Header in Sym pathy with "Wheat. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Unusual interest was manifested in the annnal election of offi cers of the Board of Trade to-day, and, as a consequence the trading pits were more or less deserted during a portion of the ses sion, and the business transacted was of the holiday character which has prevailed for the past two weeks. Wheat was slow and weak, and lower prices were made. Cables were lower, foreigners were report ed selling in New York, domestio markots all ruled heavy and depressed, and the shipments from India last week were 840.O00 bushels, against 320,000 bushels for the previous week. An iucrease in the visible supply of 500,000 bushels was estimated last week, but as the reports began to come in it became evident that this was too low and that it would bo double that amount. "Longs" were generally disposed to unload, but there was only a moderate demand, and the pressure was sufficient to cause a gradual decline. Gilford and Harry Lester were among tho best buyers of the day, while nearly everybody seemed to be selling. Schwartz-Dupeo and some other commission-houses with foreign connections had European continental selliug orders lor wheat futures held by them which had been bought in anticipation of the Kussian prohibition of exports. May opened lower at IHh c, strengthened to 04 ic. Bold oil gradually to Who, reacted to and closed easy at filc. Corn was dull and weak; the heavy feeling in wheat, the general apathy in speculation and the distracting iulluence of the pending election were all weak factors, f he receipts were 833 cars, with twentynine cars of contract. Ollerings were free with the demand limited and buyers hesitating and cautions. January was relatively weaker than the more distant futures, due, it is said, to deliverios on contracts. The tendency of the market throughout the day was downward and the close was at bottom tig ores, with January showing a loss of lc. May is only "4o lower. Heavy selling by "longs'' and some hammering by "bears" caused a bad break in oats. The depressers of the market were aided by the weakness in the other cereals, the unexfiected heavy receipts and the estimated arsce receipts for to-morrow. The tendency throughout the session was downward, its speed being accelerated as the day progressed. The close was nearly at bottom price, and at a loss of 2Uc for January and of lo for May, compared with Saturday's close. Hog products opened weaker becanse of the showing in the monthly report of the stocks of provisions on . hand in this market. This report indicated a gross increase of 88.000,000 pounds of all kinds of provisions during the month of December. The quantities of lard and ribs, especially, wero in excess of the estimates. After a small recession in the early trading, however, "shorts" took advantage of the situation to cover, and the result was a rally, the market closing at the top and generally at some improvement over Saturday's close, except as to lard, which is unchanged. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 220 cars: corn, SCO cars: oats. 2?2 cars: hogs. 38.000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows:

The visible supply of grain on Saturday. Jan 2, as compiled by the New York Produce Exchange, was as follows: Wheat, 45.6C8.724 bu, an increase of 1,018.507; corn, 7,0S1.19ft bu, an increose of 1,216,944; oats, S,SGS,5S9 bu. an increase of 147.932; rye, 2.S15.9S5 bu, a decrease of 175,540; barley, 2,271,543 bu, a decrease of 13V::6. Figures compiled by the Northwestern Miller show the stock of wheat in private elevators at Minneapolis to be 1, 081,000 bushels, 30,000 bushels less than last Monday. The total stock at Minneapolis und Duluth Is 16,793,030, against 15.5S9.670 bushels a week ago. The Market Record reports the stock of wheat in country elevators of Minnesota and the two Dakotaa at 11,677,CC0 bushels, or 62,700 bushels more than last Monday. This makes the aggregate Northwestern stock 28.470.CC6 bushels, an increase of 1.206,066 bushels. A year ago the total stocK was 22,354,000 bushels. The Foreign Grain Trade. m LONDON. Jan. 4. The Mark Lano Express, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: English wheat has been selling at a decline since Christmas, and the mean value of prices during December wero 5 pence below that of November. The average for the entire year, however, shows an advanco of 5s 4d ou the rignres of 1S90. The fact that the American wheat surplus of 1S91 is the largest on record is advanced as an argument of ultimate firmness. Foreign wheat sold slowly, but December, on the average, was firm. The imports of wheat and flour for the last four months have met the whole inquiry without having recourse to home-grown wheat. The trade in spring corn has been slightly in favor of buyers. To-day English wheats wero held firmly. Foreign wheats showed no improvement, large stock requiring to be worked off. Barleys were steady, with an improved retail demand. In the market for oats prices were firmly maintained. The market for Indian corn was in favor of buyers. Beans, peas and lentils were quiet and unchanged. , TRADE IN GENERAL.
