At New York Saturday money on rail was easy, with no loans, closing oflered at 14 percent Frime mercantile paper, 3425 percent. bterling exchange was qniet bat steady at ?4.b4 fcr suty-day bills and U-tO fur demand. The total tales of stocks were 1G9.018 naies. inclndins the following: Atchison. 0,MX); Chlca&oGas, 4.800; Erie. S.100; LouisTille &. Nashville, 10.5CO; Mannattan, 2.1G4; Missouri Pacibo. 2.9T5; Northwestern. 2,110; Northern Pacino preferred, 4,214; Heading. 7,XX. Richmond & West Point. 4.155; fcL Paul, 10,700; St. Paul &. Omaha, 3.775; Union Pacific. S.760; Western Union. 3,070. The stock market was nothing but the fag end of tbe week's speculation ami considerable weakness was seen in all portions of the list. A marked dearth of commissionhouse buying encouraged the bears to again attack the mo.it vital points. The banner weak stock still continued to be Distillers, and stop orders in it were uncovered witn the effect of dropping the stock in the early dealings 2Mi per cent The bears sold tne grangers freely, but only Omaha showed any material impression . and the selling of Atchison sufficed to depress it a fraction and largly increase the amount of business done in it The same may be said of Louisville, which was the next most prominent maTk for drives. Consolidated Gas made a sharp upward spurt,the action of the directors in raising the rate of dividend from S to 6 points, and making it payable quarterly instead of semi-annually, furnishing the moving power. The stock opened up 1 per cent at 105. and rose to 1111, closing at 111. a gain of C7 percent Distillers rallied handeomaly in the late dealings, bat closed with a material loss. The bank statement with its further largo gain in cash and deposits, seemed to have no eflect whatever, but covered operations caused a slight rally in the final trading which closed the market firm at better than the lowest prices. Railroad bonds were active and firm as usnnl of late, but the final changes were in all enses insignificant, and while the Union Pacino furnished $1C5.000 out of the total of $1.03.000, they failed to move more than a slight fraction. The market closed aotire and firm. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bond were active. Closing quotations were: Four per cent. regllO leur per ct.conp..lltt Pacific Us Ot 'U5..109 ILonis. & Nash 73 L. & New Albany- 237a MiMOuriPacmc... 62 N. J. Central 1153 Northern Pacltlo.. i!3? X.

If early potatoes are to be a main crop it is well to look over the results of last year and endeavor to avoid some of the risks from disease, and especially of the rot. Both the vines and the tubers were attacked in some qnarters last year, and the conditions for this season are probably more favorable, owing to a greater distribution of the spores, some of which remain in the ground from last year's crop, while the accumulated rubbish added to the manure heap and diseased tubers in the bins are also sources from which the disease may spread. It is important that the seed be carefully inspected now, before the weather becomes warmer, and every potato that is in the least degree unsound should be burnt, only the most perfect and best specimens being retained. After cutting the seed tho pieces should be immersed in a solution made by dissolving a pound of copperas and a pound of sulphate of copper in ten gallons of boiling water, allowing the pieces to remain in the solution for an hour, then draining them for another hour, and then finally to roll them in dry land plaster. When cutting the pieces the cutting knife should be dipped in the solution after cutting each potato, in order to avoid infecting any of the sound pieces should the knife cut into a diseased tuber. It is important to use these precautions oven if the seed is apparently free from disease, as it cntallsbut little labor and may prevent loss after the eed is planted. The crop should not be grown on land that was planted to potatoes last Beason, but on a new location. Get the seed in early, so as to pnsh the crop forward rapidly, in order to avoid weak plants later on. when the vines and tubers may be attacked. It has been demonstrated that fresh nnrotted manure is favorable to the diseases of potatoes, and for that reason all manure need should be thoroughly decomposed by hesting the heap. The best potatoes and largest crops have been secured by tho use of special potato fertilizers, prizes having been taken by some growers, who produced potatoes at the rate of 1.000 bushels per acre on prepared plots, but only the liberal use of fertilizers will permit of such extraordinary yields. Level cultivation has been conceded as superior to hilling, and tho trench system is also regarded by somd growers as superior to any other. After tho crop is harvested, all vines and imperfect tubers should bo burnt to ashes. The sround should be plowed early and made very fine, so as to admit of thorough tillage Flowers from Seed. YieVs Monthly. The latter part of the month will be a good time to sow verbena seed. If one wants plenty of these plants they can be. raised from seed without much expense; what they will cost will be the little care they need. Sow the 6eed in a box or pan of tine light soil, covering it very lightly. Give water through a very fine rose, being careful not to disturb tho soil. Cover with ft light of glass to retain the moisture. When the little plants appear to bo stroDg enough, or having made three or four leaves, and which will be in about a month, they can be pricked out into a pan or box giving them all needed room and then keeping them on as before for another month. Some time in March they will be strong enough to pot off singly into small pots in which to be grown until strong enough for planting out. All this may be done with only window facilities, but lu the green-houso it is comparatively easier and surer. Verbenas have now been through so long a course of hybridizing and crossing that a lartre percentage of seedling plants have fine flowers. The fragrance of seedling verbenas is always greater than in plants raised from cuttings, and the plants are far more vigorous. Pansy-seed sowed early in winter will make strong plants for blooming in the fall and the following spring. Tuberous begonias can be raised easily from seed by using the proper care, and if the seed is sown early, either in the present month or in February, they will make strong plants for blooming the succeeding year. Use light, sandy soil, and sow the seed on the surface. Moisten by means of a fine spray from an atomizer. Cover the pot or pan with a pane of glass and keep warm. As soon as the little plants are larue enough pot them oft into 6mall pots in a light, rich soil and keep them in a warm place with a good exposure to the light. When the weather becomes warm enough the plants can bo turned out into a nicely prepared bed, and with a light shade from tho hottest sun will do well and make a tine growth by autumn. In Septomber the bulbs can be lifted, dried off and stored away secure from frost and be kept until about March, when they can again be started, this time to bloom. Ttnsloesi Methods on the Farm. Philadelphia Inquirer. If you have never done so before, make npyour mind that you will know the cost this year of every crop that you produce. Upon almost all farms some crops are grown right along at a loss; yet, because no separate account is kept of the cost of producing each, we canuot determine just what to cut oil or to cbanse in order to increase our total profit. In estimating tho cost of a crop one must begin with the rental value of the land. Your farm is not all of equal quality, and some fields would have a high rental value because of their special fitness for producing certain especially valuable crops. Let each field "stand upon its own bottom" in your own account, and the crop grown on it be charged with just what that field Is worth. Then the crop must be charged with the value of the teed, tho manure aud the labor. This latter may seem rather a troublesome item to keep account of. but if you go at it systematically it will not prove diflicnlt Have a certain value a day for your own labor and for the labor of each man. boy and team, and have a book in which each field is known by a certain number. Then at night it will be very easy to mark the number of hours' labor of boy, man or team against each, and to figure it up at the certain price at the end of the season. Such an accounting would not ouly show what crops wore made at a loss and what at profit, but would show the relative profit froin each, and so indicate in what directions wo might best extend our work. It would lead to more careful methods and better cultivation in the eflort to turn losing crops into paying ones, and would lead generally to a more business-like conduct of our affairs. Weshonld not be any more willing to sell our goods without knowing what they cost to produce than the merchant is. yet we know that a merchant who pursued that policy would bo on the speedy road to bankruptcy. A pretty good indication of the stability and sound basis upon which the business of farming rests is the tact that so few fail, notwithstanding their unbuslness-like methods.

GRAIN TENDING DOWNWARD

Steady Stream of Offerings at Chicago Finally Had a Telling Effect OpenlEff at 90 3-4c, Which Was 1-Sc Lower than Friday. May Continued Falling Until It Touched 89 7-Sc, Recovering; 3-Sc Later. TRAD ESQ AT CHICAGO. Cora, Which Showed Firmness Early, Afterirards Yielded to the Decline. CHICAGO. Jan. SO.-Wheat ruled dull and lower to-day. The news was nearly all bearish. local sentiment was in accord with it. and offerings were in excess of the demand. Cables were depressed and domestic markets tending downward. The export business for tho week was nearly a million bushels less than the week previous and the trade was figuring on an increase of 500.000 bushels in the visible supply. New York and St Louis had liberal selling orders here and some of the largest local longs dropped their holdings through sheer discouragement Pardridge and other local bears sold heavily for a time, but the purchases against puts and the covering by shorts, who had a satisfactory profit, absorbed the property very readily. But finally the continuous stream of offerings began to tell, and, buyers drawing out. there was a recession from early figures. Charles Wright was tho largest individual buyer, covering a big line on which he has been short for a considerable time, while Pardridge was. by all odds, the heaviest seller. MoDoogall, Schwartz-Dupee. Logan and Milmine-Bod-man each covered considerable which they had put out at the high prices that ruled early in the week. There was some talk of good buying by some local capitalists who, it was reported, were taking wheat on all the breaks, but it did not appear that their operations were important On tha break Guilford. Hatley Bros., Mitchell and some of the private-wire-houses were good buyers, largely to cover short sales. Closing cables showed no improvement, and in the opinion of some dealers it begins to look as if Europe had become indifferent to our wheat-crop movement, as stocks everywhere abroad are said to be unusually large, and the prices for the week 8a lower. The foreign situation, as indicated by the late cables, caused renewed selling and increased weakness. May opened Ho lower, at Itic. which proved to bo the highest price of the day; worked slowly olf to WUc, firmed upja little, then weakened to 807ic, strengthened on covering by shorts near the close, but closed easy at IKHic. Corn showed considerable firmness in the early part of the session, in spite of weak cables and selling by Pardridge. But it weakened later, in sympathy with the weakness in wheat and provisions. Shorts were not doing much in the way of coverlug, while some of the late buyers were liquidating freely. May started He lower, at 40"fec, firmed up to 41180, weakened to 40 c, and closed at 407ic. Oats were quiet and easy; May shows a loss Of4C. Hog products were lower on tho larger receipts than expected, and a decline of 5 a) 10c at the yards. The weakness in grains wasalsofelt sympathetically, though there were several little rallies during the session, and the close was at a loss of only 5c in pork. .053.070 in lard and .02o in ribs.

It is a common belief among farmers of some communities that to plow the ground when it is covered with snow is beneficial, the snow serving as manure to a certain extent. This belief has probably arisen from the fact that the falling snow brings down some of the gaseous matter in the air. but the real benefit arises from loosening tbe soil and permitting the air, frost and warmth of the sun to render portions of the insoluble matter of the soil available RAILWAY TIME-TAIILESw Indianapolis Union Station. ennsmvaniaUnis!)

THE

Indianapolis Journal DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY. Tho Journal is first of all a no wapaper. Its primary object is to publish tbe news, and to secure this it spares no pains or expense. Besides tho service of two great news agcncies,which cover foreign countrios ns well as the entire United States, it has a corps of Special Correspondents, w ho give attention to those events and occurrences tnat are likely to be of particular interest to tho Indiana public. lis "Washington bureau was established for the purpose of looking after matters in which the Stato and its peoplo aro concerned, and is undci tho management of an Indiana man well acquainted with tho local business and political issues. It has a correspondent in every town of importance in the State, and is constantly increasing its facilities for obtaining information from every quarter. Its stall of city reporters is large, and its local departments are unexcelled. As a newspaper it is far bettor equipped than any other in tho State, and welcomes comparison with its contemporaries in any and all of its departments. With all it endeavors to bo accurate and trustworthy, printing the news, whatever it may be, without personal or partisan, bias. But while tho Journal is non-partisan as to news, it is a Republican paper, and sets forth Republican principles.. It is important that tho people shall read lb e truth about these principles, and it was with tho object of putting everybody in the way of doing; so that the price of tho DAILY JOURNAL Was reduced to A WEEK s:s::r:::s:s:::sss:ss:szz2sr:a No other method of securing a Republican victory at the polls is so certain as the circulation of Republican papers among voters. Since the reduction in the prico thousands of subscriptions have poured in from all parts of Stato. showing that a need was supplied. In order to have tho proper influence) and effect upon voters seeking for trustworthy information tho Journal should go into their hands at once, and not next spring or summer. Clubs are being formed and agencies established wherever daily mails reach, and as rapidly as traveling agents can visit the places, but Republicans in each and ovary locality cannot do their party grcatej service than to interest themselves in circulating tho Journal. The Sunday Journal Is a paper that gives more attention to miscellaneous literature than the other editions, and contains in its sixteen, and often twenty, pages a variety of CHOICE READING MATTER That satisfies the most exacting taste. Tho samo reasons that call for the immediate extension of tho the daily circulation apply to tho weekly. This is carefully edited, with a special view to tho wants of Indiana readers, both in its peneral and political news. lis subscription price, SI, with reduction to clubs, places it within tho reach of all, and no campaign contribution can bo so effective as when spent in furnishing this paper to readers who need Republican doctrine.
