Fair Gains Scored by the Industrials on the New York Stock Eicbanqe. Ccnsideratlfl Trading in Low-Priced Shares The -Bears" Active and AzsressiYe The Local Grain Markets. MONEY AND STOCKS. Industrial Share Take an Upward Turn af yw York Clot) n jc Price. At New York yesterday money on call tts easy, ranging from 3 to 4 per cent., the last loan being made at 3 per cent; closing offered at 3 per cent. I'rimc mercantile paper, 4'i H 6 per cent. sterling exchange was quiet and firm at $4.t2 fcr sixty -day bills and Si.M for demand. TLo total tales of stocks were C32.2S7 rlaxr. including the following: Atchieon, 10.500; Chicago Gas, 27,450; Erie, 21,650; Louisville &, Nashville. 4,700; Missouri Pacific. O.&'joNorth em Pacific preferred, 3,820; l:eadingy5C,780; Kicbmoud &. West Point. 9,343; St. Paul, 20.305; St. Paul & Omaha, 3.500; Union Pacific, 14,000; Western Union, 11.155. The New York stock market yesterday showed rather a reactionary temper, and the -volume of business was somewhat small, but while there waa considerable rressnre to sell from all quarters, new buying continued on such a scale that prices in all the list were stubbornly held, and Dome stocks even scored handsome advances, though only in the industrials were these of special importance at the close. There was throughout tho day a determined eflort to bring about a reaction from tho strong . npward movement of Monday, and tho selling was credited to a large degree to the 'bulls." who liave sold out and wish now to buy back at lower prices. The 'bears," however, took advantage of this and were active and aggressive, and there wns in some directions a disposition to encouraca the reaction on the part of those whose interests are supposed to lie in holding the strength of tho market. The market, whilo lower at tho close a a rnle. showed throughout a very strong . undertone, the ordera to bny being large at every decline, and especially from coramisBiouhousts. The low-priced shares again attracted a great deal of attention, and among these Louisville, ftew Albany &. Chicago. Wheeling & Lake Krio. Heading and liutlalo. Rochester &. 1'ittsburg, together with Pittsburg & Western, were most conspicuous. The industrials, however, were the features for strength, and all the leaders scored handsome gains. Among the usually active liat New England was the early center of interest, the renewal of the old story of a deal with the New Haven carrying its prico in the forenoon to 49. but there M as free selling at that figure, and it finally retired below its opening price and even Wlow its Monday night's figure. The Kearting securities were strong on the report thatthe interest on the incomes will te paid, and it fairly took the place of New England as leader of the market both as to activity and strength. Tho other coal companies were not helped by the advance in heading, however, though among the lowpriced shares Tennessee Coal was very prominent as well as the Susqnehanna te Western preferred, thoush each of these stocks reacted in the final callings. Thelopcning was generally firm at insignificant advances in most shares from Monday nignt's tigures, but selling orders apparently from London induced considerable short Helling, and after the first spurt on the early demand the entire list reacted, though a loss of 1 per cent, on Erie preferred was the only important concession at tho time. The market held stubbornly, however, and before noon the lonses were regained, but only to be lost again in tho afternoon, the industrials in the meantime taking the lead in the npward movement. Chicago Uaa was pushed forward from 74V to IbU and Dutillers lrom Gl7 to C4. each retaining most all the gain at the close of business. Tho new Lead stocks, on the other hand, were still weak and both lost over 1 per cent. There was tome selling of Northern Pacitio stocks on the report that the earnings would show a decrease. The market finally eloped active and fairly steady, after a slight rally in tho final trading, but most stocks are small fractions lower than last eveuiccr. while no materially loss occurred in anything. Chicago Gas. however, is np Distillers, I3; Northern Pacitic, preferred, and Cordae, 1 per cent. Kailroad bonds were still very active, and still displayed the same firmness without material changes in quotations, and while the Heading issues and some others were very active, only International firsts rose 1 per cent. Government bonds were dull and firm. State bonds were entirely neglected. Closing quotations were: 1'our per cent, regl Louis. & Nash 833 1 cur per ct. eoup.lltJjL. fc New Albany..

'Ihe soapsuds used should be nearly cold, and tho silk should be carefully smoothed out with a soft cloth when drying, or pressed beneath heavy weights. For tired eyes take a cup brimfnl of water and add snflicient salt to be faintly perceptible to the taste.

On sandy soils the bhes from coal, after being sifted, will be found useful around treed, not so much f6r their fertilizing value as for their usefulness in tending to render the soil not so light. Coal ashes are said to be equal to clay on a sandy soil, and as clay and rand are mixed with advantage when soils are light or heavy, the nse of coal ashes, which are always in a fine condition, should not be omitted on ligbtsoii. When a farmer is once thoroughly converted to clover he will stay by it as long as it will stay by hun. Clover is for the most part a biennial, or to speak more correctly, a Q short perennial, and it dies like the rest of us. when it arrives at the proper time. Farmers who have a good stand this year, and wish to keeptbeir land in clover wtbout plowing it no every two years, should sow about half the usual Amount of seed on the same land next March, or before the frost goes out of the ground. The plants from the seeding will take the place of those that die, and this, with the plants that did not grow this year, will make a good stand, especially if L there la a little timothy with the clover.

DULL MABKETS AT CHICAGO

Very Few Orders to Bny or Sell Received bj the Commission Houses. All the Cereals and Mess Pork Gala a Few Fractions Before the Close of Trading Corn and Oats Quite Strong. TRADING AT CIIICAGO. Slightly Higher Prices at the Close Corn and Oats Stronger. CHICAGO. Jan. 5. The holiday dullness which of late has marked the course of business in and about everything dealt in on the Board of Trade, was continued today. There was not much news to create decided opionions either for or against higher prices; values have been' going downward for some time, and, as usual, on a declining market, the outside public has lost interest and has drawn out old dealings. As a consequence the trading to-day and for some time was and has been almost entirely of a local professional character. Commission houses find themselves without orders, and their buyers stand listlessly about with nothing to do. Jn wheat weakness accompanied the early dullness and lower figures were recorded. Nearly all the newa of the forenooon was disconrageing to holders. Cables wero weak and lower, domestic markets dull and tending downward and the local feeling bearish. Holders seemed discouraged and the liquidation was general. Some of the large operators who bought wheat yesterday thinking 'there would be a reaction after such a decline seemed to realize their mistake and made haste to get rid of their purchases. May opened unchanged at 94 c and slowly sagged off to tt3?gc. Then the charactor of the news and the temper of the pit began to change. A. dispatch from New York said there was good buying for export there and that the market was strong and advancing. More encouragement came later, the chief of which was the prospect held out by Eastern railroads that in a day or two they expected to be able t to handle everything o lie red to them. Aa many interior millers had orders here waiting the resumption of railroad traffic, the result was a lively cash wheat business, andmany fresh orders were received to take advantage of the Improved shipping prospects. Prices advanced sharply toward the close, and closed at about the top. About the only bull factor was the reported decrease of nearly 'OOO.OOO bushels in the amount on passage, but this was offset oy a dispatch that the English visible supply increased about 1,500.000 bushels last week. Corn was stronger. The recoipta were liberal, but the grading was very poor, indeed, only eight car-loads out of 820 going to contract. The break yesterday started a good deal of covering by "shorts," and as the "longs" bad pretty well liquidated yesterday, there was not much for sale, and prices hardened, advancing slowly all day and closing at the top, making again over yesterday of 3&a5fec Oats were also decidedly stronger, recording an advance of 3 'Sic. Hog products opened weak and lower on account of the heavy receipts of live hogs at the leading packingcenters.and the lower prices for Jive hogs here. Later part of this loss was recovered, and the close shows no marked changes from yesterday's last figures. The estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 109 cars: corn, 139 cars: oats. 145 cars; hogs. 46,000. The leading futures ranged as follows:
