The general market at this time showed tome disposition to rally, and the early losses were recovered In most instances. The improved feeling did cot last long, however, for General Electric soon displayed marked weakness and broke Jrom?ll4 to ( 5. This sharp decline effected the whole list adversely, which even the favorable bank statement, with its increase .in surplus, failed to cneck. Heaviness of General Electric is attracting; attention, ' and no satisfactory reason, as yet. has been given for the steady shrinkage in the prico. Assurances are given that the rate of dividends will be continued, and the street Is in daily receipt of what purports to be statements of the favorable condition of the company.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS, The Past Week Was a Good Qn 1Q All Dapurtmrnti nt Trade. Despite the bad weather which marked the closing oays of the week there was a very large volume of business in the wholesale trade in all, departments, and 'dealers senerally express great satisfaction with the situation and with the outlook for the future. A gratifying feature is the strecth and steadiness of prices in all lines of trude. Staple groceries all show great f.mineas. and the indications at present point to higher rather than lower quotations. , In the produce trade there has been a ' good deal of activity, Receipts have been liberal, and the demand from consumers has been large. Frnits and vegetables are ruling very steady, and changes in prires have been very few and slight. In cereals there has been but little interest shown. The marxet has lluctuated in sympathy with those in the governing markets, but dealings huve been small. The receipts Saturday were only eight cars of wheat, thirty-three of corn and one of oats.

This fact, coupled with the increasing receipts and the better weather, gave a bearish cast to the grain markets to-day. Compared with last night, wheat Is 4o off. corn 343"eC. and oats Ho. The clique perraittcdork to drop back 55c. Other bog products are about unchanged. . Wheat opened about a half cent lower, then followed a 34o advance, but again became weaker, and prices declined 34c, and tho closing was easy. The weak and lower opening was somewhat due to the break in railroad stocks, together with dull and easier cables. There was good buying at the decline, Duluth eeidiug in some buying orders, and St Louis also bought, the latter buying on the strength of export demand for winter wheat on French account. As soon as the buying ceased the market eased otf under free ottering. Russian crop news was more favorable through some sources, and bad through others. Corn at the start was weaker, and the opening trades wero at Uc decline. Then a steadier tone was manifested, but the market again ruled weaker and at the close had lost 48C The receipts to-day were considerably 111 exoesa of the crediotions b'27 cars coming in, 426 of the tame grading. For Monday 775 cars are estimated. The feature of the oats market was soli ing of May and June by shippers who bought cash lots. The close was easy at inside prices, with a net loss of 4c. There was but one feature to the provision trade. The hogs were short ut 4,50, and gave the market ft little bulge at the opening. On this inlse Wright began selling pork and kept on while there was any demand, disposing ot about 3,000 barrels. Lard and ribs were stasnant. The close was about at inside prices. Freights were quiet at 141380 for wheat and lno for corn to Buffalo, and lso for corn and lVc for oats to Port Huron. Estimated receipts for Monday are: Wheat, 255 cars; corn. 775 cars; oars. 445 cars; hogs. 15.000. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Knowing how our teachers are paid, and remembering, too, that teaching ban Jiardly reached tbe dignity of an established profession in this country, bnt is usually taken up by young persons for a few years as a temporary occupation until they can find something better to do, the prospect of securing a corps ot instructors who are able to teach the arts of cultivation as thoroughly ns they should be taught, seems very remote, but we are convinced that this would be a most valuable part of the education of tbe rising generation. There is no greater mystery to the ordinary man aud woman than theprocessos of vegetation which go on all about them. Even intelligent men do not know the names of the trees which they pass every, day, much less of the grasses and plants they tread upon. No story is too wonderful for their belief. Reputable newspapers will puldish accounts of an extraordinary elm tree somewhere which bears aoorns. or of a plant which can accurately foretell the weather, and sharpers will go through a tillage street and sell in almost every house at one dollar each the seeds of some novel plant which be assures the buyers will bear a flower with ell the colors of tho rainbow and with a fragrance which can easily be enjoyed a mile away. All this is simply because men do not observe tho ordinary outgoings of life about them, and elementary instruction in these matters to tbe young will give tl.em habits of observation and a knowledge of principles which would make life more interesting to any one. even it he never otveed a garden or was the proprietor of a r h1 of land. If a competent and sy tnpathetio tescher should do no more than devote a portion of a day each week to tho work of familiarizing children with plant life and its eential conditions, with the help of living illustrations, the young people would laid this the most deliuhtiul pnrt yf iheir course of study, and they would nctjuire knowledge and habits of thought that would be invaluable- all through their lives, A VTeil-K.pt Linn. Germantown Telegraph. One of the handsomest features of our modern homes is a well. kept lawn. Compression of the soil by rolling adds greatly to the velvuty appearance so much admired, ami this with frequent mowings are the main essentials of uood lawn. It is a mooted point whether the lawn clippings shall le cleared away after each mowing.

or left so as not lo uueiinii me uii. As a rnle. my advice is. t cle ir it awttf .n all small lawns and apply manure in proper season to recuperate tho soil. In Lincoln 1'ark, Chicago, tbe superintendent believes and acts to the contrary. His theory is, cot often and set the machine high. Certainly, lor an expanse such as he con trols, the lawns, looked at as a whole, are in line shape, and there is no doubt that 'burning out" by hot, dry weather taket plaoe more readily on a close-shaven lawn than on one left an inch or two higher at each mowing. In spring a lawn requires mowing as often as once a week, or, at the. rery outside, ton days. ItCAL-ETATB TItVK47lt.

Kscsas City Journal. One of tbe largest feeders of swine gives his experience and judgment as follows: "I tind that if 1 take ten bnsnels of meal and ' wet it in sold water and feed twenty. live hogs with it, they eat it well; but if 1 take the same quantity and cooKit.it doublet tho bulk, and will take the same number of bogs twice as long to eat It, snd 1 think they fatten twice as fast in the same length, of time." Professor fetewurt, in commenting on this, says ho taok two lota of three pics each from the same litter, weighing 2i5 pounds each lot. Lot one had corn tueal eonked twelve hours in cold water. Lot two had coromeal cooked; each had all they would eat. and each had acock of early-cut clover every day. Lot one consumed '.',111 pounds ot meal and gained 4 JO pounds, or 140 pounds each. Lot two gained COO pouuds. or -0o pounds each. Or, liguring it another wuy, he got eleven pounds of pork for a bushel of meal soaked in cold water aud Hi. 47 pounds for a bushel when cooked, a gain of nearly five and one-half pounds to the bushel, getting half ns much again tor nis c m by cooking it. l'rofeasor Stewart further iya that "by good maiiageioeut tho general I ted or may reach with raw corn cuht pounds, with raw meal teu pounds, with boiled earn twelve pounds and with boiled meal liftcsa pounds of live pork per bushel
