The Bank Statement Continues to Grow More Favorable. llovcver, There Is a Depression to . Business on 'Change ami Shares Are Tending Downward. At New York Saturday money on call was easy at 2t2U per cent, the last loan being at 2. closing offered at 2. Trlme mercantile paper, 7 2312 per cent. Sterling exchange was dull and weak, with actual business in bankers bills at JLS5 G4.8SU for demand and I4.8imi4.81ii for sixty-day bills. Posted rates, $l&3i.S7; commercial bills, $4.S2;'54.83. The loan committee of the clearing house Saturday canceled J240.CO) of loan certificates and called for redemption on Monday of $000,000 more, making the total called for Monday $720,000. The total outstanding is now $23,075,000. 1 The stock of silver bullion in the open market is not very large, and the shipments have of late decreased materially. This state of affairs i3 due to the closing of the leading Western silver mines, and no large addition to the supply i3 to be expected until the price of silver advances sufficiently to allow of a profit on the operation of the mineg; Bar silver last week advanced from 73c to 74c per ounce, the latter figures being the closing price on Saturday. Mexican Collars are worth CSc. At London bar silver 13 quoted at 34d. Silver certificates quoted at 72,.i 73 c.

The week closed on the Stock Exchange as it opened heavy, and with a downward tendency. The quotations made Saturday morning were generally at an advance of a fraction, and during the first hour the figures moved upward. The buying, however, was not of a very strong character. Whisky was most active in the dealings, and moved Independently of the general list. The depression in the stock was due to denials of the reported action of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives relative to the spirits tax. The purchases were based on a belief that the tax was certain to be raised, even though the committee had not as yet actually voted upon the question. There tvas a good volume of business in Sugar, which fluctuated between 90 and 8S;, closing-at S9, a decline of per cent. The rest of the active list moved within narrow limits. The general market was depressed In the late dealings, and was weak at the close. The bond market was. in the main, strong and advances were recorded In a number of issues. Government bonds were steady. State bonds were dull.

The week closing Saturday has been a very satisfactory one to wholesale dealers generally. The steady downpour of rain with which the week closed interfered with business on Commercial row, but dry goods dealers and grocers both reported a very satisfactory trade throughout the week, while on Saturday all the grocery houses were shipping out large orders. With this general activity there is great steadiness In prices, and the general tone and character of business are pleasing- to merchants and dealers. . The trade in country produce is restricted by rather light receipts, and prices for everything hold strong. On Cnange, on Saturday, the usual dullness prevailed. Receipts of all cereals continue very light The inspections on Saturday were but twelve car3 of wheat, eight of corn and two of oats.

Have you ever observed that some farmers can g:t a better price for exactly the same grade of cattle than can be obtained by other men? There H nothing mysterious about it. It is simply because they have a reputation for that kind. This is a principle of pioflt in rattle growing too much overlooked. Get a reputation for havinsr superior stock all the time, and you will always get the top price, or a little more, because there will bo some one on the watch to buy your cattle wh n they come on the market. Use the be.-?t d.iss of sires even if you have only grade cows, and It will help not only the actual quality of your product, but your refutation as well. A p-ire bred bull of u high record dairy family you well know will stamp its quality on your dairy herd, and the merits of your -owr. will become so well known that you will be able to procure fancy prices.

DROPPED A FRACTION

Rain and Increased Visible Supply Caused Wheat to Decline. Chicago Brokers Thought Wet Weather Would Kelp Seeding Corn Firm and Provisions Dull. CHICAGO, Sept. CO. Rain and a big Increase expected In the visible supply caused weakness In the wheat market to-day. That cereal closed lie under its value at the termination of Friday's market. Corn was firm, but the May futures weakened, and closed a small fraction lower. Oats were heavy and provisions dull but firm. Wheat, at the opening, was about c lower than yesterday's closing, advanced 4c, fluctuated slightly and then declined HUc, rulec". quiet and closed about Ho lower than yesterday. The export clearances from both coasts, although fair, were disappointing, because they fell below the previous week, being 1,237,000 bushels less than last week. Another weakeningfactor was the continued liberal receipts in the Northwest. The New York bank statement, though very favorable, did not seem to help the market. The rain had a weakening Influence, as it was beneficial for the seeding. The receipts at primary markets for the week were about 100,000 bushels larger than a week ago, and the exports smaller, and on this basis it is estimated that the visible supply will show an increase of about 1,250,000 to 1,500,000 bushels on Monday. Corn started at yesterday's closing prices and, under a fair demand, and especially for the near futures, advanced ?it?c, reacted USftc, ruled firmer and closed with full c gain. It was raining in most places in the commit, and for a whll?, it is thought, the receipts at interior points will be small. The elevator people, led by Armour & Co. and Harvey & Co., were sellers of May. Oats held steady until nearly the close, when the weakness in other grains and the estimate of 410 cars for Monday caused fair selling. Values receded USisC. and the market closed easy at the inside figures. The packers had the provision market to themselves. There were but CO.000 hogs at the yards' and thl3 gave a firmer feeling at the start. Then Hately and the AngloAmerican Company began buying, evidently to establish a higher level of prices. The stocks of products are expected to show very low on Monday, with a further decrease in all but ribs probable. It was claimed that the fact of the new regulation with reference to 'plggy sows" going Into eff?ct on Monday had a strengthening effect, on the ground that it will cause a decrease of at least 10 per cent, in the arrivals of hogs at all Western markets. Freights were steady, with a fair demand at 2U32,.ic for wheat and 2'32;c for corn to Buffalo. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 200 ears; corn, 940 cars; oats, 440 cars; hogs, 23,000. The leading futures ranged as follows :

As usual on Saturday, dealings in the dry-goods market were of a very moderate quantity in all llne3. The close of the week shows that a little better result has been seen in domestic goods than last week. Print cloths have shown a small downward tendency, and, taking it right through, thera has been a decided disposition to await tha action of Congress before entering into fresh engagements. Cotton g'oods . have been in fair demand during the week, and prloes are fairly steady. Print cloths are fiat, and somewhat weaker, with sellers, at the close of the week, at 27aC Printed fabrics are in moderate demand, while ginghams and woven fabrics are more active. The auction sale of woolen fabrics yesterday, as expected, proved a disappointment to sellers, and very little interest was shown to-day. In foreign dry goods there has been only a small trade during the week, with larce sales tha exception rather than the rule. 011. NEW YORK.

Whoever wishes to obtain a clear idea of Parisian student life, or at least that phase of it which is just now brought to the world's attention in consequence of the riots in the Latin quarter, would do well to read Victor Hugo's "Les MIserables." Thoso who have read that remarkable and justly famous book will find it worth while to reperuse those chapters which describe the "surprise" given by Thalymes and his three fellow-students to Fantine and her three feminine associates, together with the account of the barricade erected by students during the attempted revolution of 1S30. Victor Hugo's fascinating story is a picture drawn from life, as abundant testimony proves. Hut in studying it care must be taken to avoid mistaking a part for the whole. That mistake Is what has led to such false and mischievous interpretations of "The Fast Set at Harvard," and other printed descriptions of certain phases of American undergraduate life. Grantaire, who drinks two bottles of wine at a single sitting and the hiccough out a long harangue in which he argues, with a considerable display of learning and eloquence, that God is a feebie and shortsighted being, that things aro ths only realities, and that to get drunk is the summum bonum, no doubt represents an actual and not Inconsiderable variety of young men who are always to be found in the farfamed Latin quarter of Paris. Hut at Grantalre's elbow sits Eujolras, who is sober, chaste, studious, brave unto martyrdom for the principles of human liberty as he understands them, brilliant nnd eloquent with an Inspiration that is as much loftier in its source than the fumes of alchohol, as the eagle's flight is higher than that of the dunghill fowl. Every enlightened country has peculiarities of university life that deserve separate analysis and comparison one with another. One peculiarity in France i3 that university life there centers in the capital. It is not so to anything like the same extent in any other tfreat nation. In Germany there are half a dozen or more universities scattered widely in situation, each of which is a rival of the University of Herlin, and some, as Tublngton and Hallo, enjoy a far greater reputation. In England, Oxford and Cambridge, both comparatively remote from the capital, are still, as they have been for many centuries, the chief seats of learning; while London University Is of very recent origin, and though not without features of striking excellence, is as yet neither famous, influential nor largely attended. Indeed, It is not a unlversity at all in the sense of the word usually accepted on either side of the Atlantic. In America, as is well known, neither our political nor our commercial capital is a chief center of academic activity. For these reasons, if for no other, there could not possibly be such a state of things In any other city on tho globo as haa lately been witnessed in Paris, whero an outbreak of students successfully defied the whole police force of the city, made headway for a time ogainst battalions of soldiers, menaced the legislative assembly and came near to causing an overturn of the existing government. Another peculiarity is that in Paris students are at once more homogeneous In their mode of life than elsewhere. They are more homogeneous because they are massed In a single section of the city to a degree not known out of Paris, an aggregation that includes many thousands and Is not confined to the representatives of any one institution of learning. And they are less homogeneous in .that they do not dwell In dormitories and are not responsible to any recognized central authority. This last is true in a measure of university life In Germany and the United States, but to a far smaller extent. Smut In Corn. Philadelphia Itecord. In some sections the corn crop 13 not harvested, and as this is an exc-iU-mt time to use preventive measures against the recurrence of smut In corn, by removing the Infected stalks from the fields and burning them, it is well to call attention to soma of the efforts that have been made in the corn-growing States to eradicate smut, Nebraska having made some valuable experiments at her agricultural station, the results of which are important to all farmers who grow corn. The smut of corn has long been known, being distributed over the whole United States, and in Europe and Asia, the injury to the corn often being C3 much as 40 per cent. It is also affirmed by leading scientists, that the rust of wheat and the smut of corn are identical in many respects, and that where the wheat crop is affected the corn crop will also be liable, but opinions are not unanimous on the claim. Disseminated by spores, the black powder of smut, which is so familiar to every farmer who has grown corn, consists of spores, the ball of smut being really a ball of seeds, as the spores reproduce smut as the seeds reproduce ordinary plants, and these spores may grow in the manure and liquids of the barnyard lor an indefinite period. The smut enters the corn when It is very young, penetrating the soft tissues of the lowest joint and the root of the small plant, and does not pass from plant to plant in the cornfiedd. as has long been supposed. It Is plain, then, that In order to prevent smut the spores must be destroyed the year previous to growing a crop of corn. Smut is not considered an active poison when eaten by cattle, but opinions differ as to Its harmfulness, some claiming that it is liable to Induce abortion among cows. Jf animals eat the smut, however, they will distribute the spores in their droppings, which will remain In tho fields if the cattle are loose, or be added to the manure in the heap at the barnyard. The ground must be protected agralnst receiving spores. Outward arplicatlons to the corn plants will not avail, as the fungus Is Inside of the plants, where no substances can reach It, hence smut can only be prevented by destroying all affected stalks upon the first indication of the fungus. Rotation of crops, instead of growing grain on the same plot every season, will prevent the smut from Increasing, but the eurest method is to consign to the Jlames every stalk that U not entirely free from smut, and the smut balls must never allowed to ojen in the fields. The seed corn must be perfectly frcs from contamination with the siores, and even a late in the season ns thla month it will pay to cull out the affected stalks and burn thm. and by following up the work next spring, carefully observing for the first apfearance of smut, It may be stamped out a two or three seasons.

INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL DAILY, SUNDAY AND T TP XT' ir T 7" If .1 J A.J .l.J The JoarnaVa price for daily is only 15 cents a week, and it ha a very wide circulation, reaching1 a larts number Of pcoylo hitherto unablo to afford the luxury of a iirst-clasa daily paper. Reports from nsents and subscribers indicate a continued increase, and that what used to bo reprardod as a luxury has become a necessity. Tho new read ers not only remain, but they aro coustantly increasing.' It is tho purpose of the Journal to make itself even nioro indispensable t j its patrons, new and old, and to still further widen its field. To this eudifc will not only endeavor to maintain' tha characi eristics which have established its reputation as by far tho best newspaper in Indiana, but will add such novr features and improvements from tiino to time as are in accord with journalistic! progress and that may tend to tha advantage of its readers. It will, for example, frivo increased attention to Stata nnd local interests. What Indtanian want is a paper in which Indiana affairs given aro especial prominence and importance. This want the Journal ha always supplied as no other paper published outside or inside tho Stato is able to do; but tho rapidly developing industries and business aud social enterprises of tho community call for additional consideration and space. With this in view its corps of correspondents has been increased until ithas a representative in nearly every town in the Statd special traveling correspondents will visit the news conters of tho State at frequent intervals, thus insuring tho "write up" of every important ovcat or matter of general intorest.
