Silver certificates. 5878 50c 13ar silver closed at 534 c per ounce; at London, 27?4d. Total sales of stocks amounted to 172,400 shares. A fairly active speculation marked the opening of business on the Stock Exchange, and a strong tone characterized the dealings, most of the active chares showing an advance on th3 closing figures of Saturday. Sugar, while not so largely dealt in as usual, was In good buying demand, opening at 14 per cent, higher and making an additional advance of . The higher figures induced realizations, which led to a reaction, and the ehcrt Interest, encouraged by this depression, threw out a few lines, with th2 result of causing a decline, effected very gradually, of 2 per cent. In the latter dealings a recovery of par cent was made, of which 4 was lost at the close, leaving only a gain of U per cent, on the day. St. Paul led the market in point of activity, and on buying for a pool, said to be Identical with the party which r cently ran up Sugar, and Burlington & Qulncy rose 4 per cent, to C3. London houses sold some small lots, and the room traders took profits, sending the stock down to 63Vs the last sale b:lng at a recovery of H- Burlington & Quincy, after an advance of m the opening trading, fell off 114 and rallied per cent. Chicago Gas rose 1? per cent, on buying, a large portion of which was on orders from Chicago. During the afternoon the support was withdrawn, and a reaction of 1 per cent, was effected, with a subsequent . recovery of 4. Distilling, after an early adVance of lost the Improvement, and later rallied per cent. The National Lead shares were features of the speculation, being bought heavily on the bettor prospects of the company, in view of the fact that the proposed tariff bill Is less unfarorable than was expected. Western Union, after an early advance of , broke ll4 on selling believed to be from the inside, which was all the more remarkable, as the directors meet to-morrow, and will, it is expected, declare the regular R4 per cent, dividend. The rest of the market was fairly firm during the morning, but became rather heavy after midday, but the early improvement was only partially lost. During the last half hour the buying was good and the speculation closed firm, the great majority of the list showing an advance on the closing figures of Saturday which ranged from K to 14. Missouri Pacific received a little boom on the return of George Gould from an inspection tour of the system, with good reports of its future prospects. There was quite a brisk buying on the shares during the morning, causing an advance of 18 per cent., of which was lost In the late dealings. Phoenix Mining declined 5 per cent., to 13, recovered the loss, broke to 11, and closed at 15. The bond market was strong early in the day, slightly depressed after noon, but cloned firm.

This season the farmers will have a larger number of implements with vhich to reduce the expense of cultivating the corn crop. The harvester and binder made it possible to devote more land to wheat, and for many years after the harvester appeared inventors made repeated attempts to construct an implement for harvesting corn. At last this has been accomplished, and not only by one individual, but by t-ev-eral. Corn is now planted, the rows c hecked and the seed covered at one operation, while at harvesting time the stalks are cut down and tied in bundles with twine as last as a team can walk down the rows. What Is more, the corn is now husked and cut up tine at one operation, thus rendering every portion of the plant available for tool or making it more suitable for any other purpose desired. There are now implements for planting potatoes and diggers for harvesting the crop, while the tedious operation of cutting the seed is also done rapidly by a little machine for that purpo.se. The old method of opening the furrows, dropping the seed (after handling each potato to cut to the eyes), and the covering of the seed Jn the rows will soon be something belonging to the past, and the slow harvesting of the crop with the plow and hoe will be forgotten. Improved implements will now enable the farmer to cultivate five times as much land in potatoes as he formerly did, which will no doubt reduce the receipts, but will not affect the profits, as potatoes can be more easily grown and at less cost. It may also be added that strawberry plants, tobacco plants, cabbage plants, etc., can now be set out and watered at the same time by simply driving a horse, hitched to a machine, along the rows. This is a great advantage, especially the watering of the plants, as the work can be done during moderately dry reasons instead of being always compelled to wait for a rain. If the farmer does not increase his profits bv machinery, owing to the greater production, he will be relieved from some of the hardships of farm life. Many of them have not grown crops that cause such backbreaking" labor as transplanting cabbage, strawberries, etc. It i.s rlow. tedious and tiresome work, and but little progress is made in a day by one man. The hours of labor are now reduced, and the daily tasks lightened by implements that will perform the work thoroughly and speedily. Invention has elevated the farmer to a higher plane and is rapidly making frm life the most pleasant of all occupations instead of the most disagreeable. It is almost wonderful when a comparison is made of the farms of to-day with those of a half century ago. Better stock, a knowledge of plants and their requirements, varieties superior to any before seen, and less labor are advancing the farmers constantly.

BEARS ARE IN CLOVER

With Apparently Small Effort r, 1 14c Is Knocked off of Wheat. The Weakness Spreads to Other Pits and Everything Joins in the Decline at Chicago. CHICAGO. March 12. Wh?at went up and down the scale to-day with the ease and celerity of a street piano, landing IVic lower than Saturday, after a weak opening and an early advance of lc. The government report, lower cables, large Northwestern receipts and free selling overcame the advanca caused early by brisk buying, and May closed only c from the bottom. Corn averaged firm and closed with May unchanged. May oats closed unchanged, whll2 provisions, In sympathy with wheat, closed weak and lower all around. . Wheat at the opening showed the effect of the government report of farm reserves which came to hand Saturday afternoon. The opening sales for May were at from 50Uc and 59c, with the tendency for a few minutes to settle down around the lower figure. There was a sudden recovery, brought about by some demonstrative buying by Armour & Co.'s brokers, who took several good-sized lots which were being offered at 59c and kept bidding for more for a short time as the market kept rising In xesponse to their action. Buying became so general from the cause mention 2d that Armour's men were able to sell out a good deal of the wheat they bought at from 59o up to SSioC when It advanced to 5940 and over, as it did In a very few minutes following the lead given to It As high as 60c was paid for a little May wheat before the frightened shorts recognized that they were being chased by the mere shadow of their own imaginings. The price after that began to work back Irregular to Its starting point, at which some further moderate purchases for' Armour & Co. steadied It again. The visible supply decreased about as had been expected. The amount of the decrease was 962,000 bu, compared with an increase of 15,000 bu on the corresponding weak of the previous year. A second decline In the price occurred immediately after the decrease In tha visible supply was known. The day's receipts here were only 22 carloads against 230 a year ago. Minneapolis reported 422 cars and Duluth 81, compared with 673 and 18, respectively, a year ago. After a struggle at around 59c there began to be a perceptible weakening of the bull side, and finally the price came down with a run, and did not cease tumbling until It struck 58pc. A correction in the visible supply figures, making the week's decrease 1,062.000 bu, instead of 967,000 bu as at first reported, did not help the price much, as there were sellers at 58c as the session ended. The corn market held aloof from wheat when it went so far In the way of bearlshness as it did in the latter part of the session. The government report was slightly bearish in its effect, as was seen at the start, as compared with Saturday's closing price for May. It recovered with the first jump In wheat, rising from 37c near the start for May to 38H838V4C and worked off again when Wheat was declining until It was again around the low point touched in the first few minutes of the session The closing price was but from the bottom. .. Oats opened a shade easier In sympathy with wheat and corn, and followed those markets in the firmness which they experienced later on in the day. There was also a good many oats bought up, and with' the light offerings had a strengthening effect on the market After the price had. advanced c from the opening price and th buying orders were mostly filled, the price declined again and business was rather quiet from that time up to the c'.cse. A decrease of 127,00) bushels in the visible supply had some effect in retaining the strength. During the early part of the session quite a large amount of business was transacted. Norton-Worthington, Scftwartz. Dupee & Co.. Bartlett-Frazler zjmI R. E. Pratt were all free buyers. The selling was scattered. The market continued to weaken toward the closet and rested at or within Iko of the last prices on Saturday. In provisions there was a good deal of realizing on long stuff to-day, with the shorts apparently so certain of their position that they bought quite sparingly. The decline, which was the result of the day's business and the slump in wheat, started at the opening. There was a temTorary recovery while wheat was having ts early bulge, but that did not last long, and with the subsequent weakness in wheat provisions became very limp and had a bad break. Compared with Saturday's closing prices, pork is 270 lower, lard is off ,15c. and ribs are also .13c lower.

Most sales to arrive were No. 1 Northern, and brought from Goc to OOUc; Xo. 1 hard to arrive brought from 62c to 624c. About 50 cars sold at that and 25 cars more sold at 62c to arrive. The sales of track wheat ranged from f9Hc to 60V4c for No. 1 Northern, closing at the bottom. May opened at 58c; July, 593sC There was a good deal of selling for July, and at one time the pressure to sell July was so great that it sold down to 5874c, when May was selling at the same time at 5Sc, but there was a reaction at the close, with July 1Vb81V4c above May. The market closed: March, 58c; May, 57?4j57c; July, 59c. On track: No. 1 hard, 61c; No. 1 Northem, 59Vc; No. 2 Northern, 5So.
