UNFAVORABLE SIGNS

Stock Market Yesterday Labored Under a Heavy Tone, Gold Movement and Bad Keortranizinj: Stories llnrt the Sale Shares Local Grain Fairly Active. At New York money on call was easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3fi5 per cent. Sterling exchange was strong, with actual business In bankers' bills at J4.8S 4.8D for demand ami at IISTU'S 187V or eixty days; posted rates, SLSS-SQ; commercial bills, u.&cw&i-S&i. Silver certificates, 64fi65c. Bar silver closed at C4;c per ounce: at London. 20Ud. Total sales of stocks amounted to 244,100 shares. The speculation on the Stock Ex-, change, yesterday, was quite active, but the prevailing tone was weak, the depression being largely due to the gold movement, but the difficulties which beset the reorganization committees of the leading railroads In the hands of receivers also had an unfavorable effect on the speculation. St. Paul and, sympathetically, the . other .Tranger shares, were heavy on the large decrease in the April earnings of the St.Paul road. Atchison was exceptionally heavy on the pressing for sale of 15,000 chares, said to be for an estate which is being portioned among the heirs. Reading was again weak on the threatened foreclosure proceedings. It U pretty well settled that the step taken by the general bondholders' committee, of which General Fitzgerald Is chairman, was forced upon them by the action of the Olcott committee. The Fitzgerald committee has been in full accord to arrange the affairs of the company without resorting to a compulsory foreClosure, and was especially anxious to do nothing in this connection while Mr. Mor-. gan was- in Europe trying to arrive at an understanding with the foreign security holders. The Olcott committee, however, having announced Its Intention to proceed summarily, the original bondholders' committee concluded to take immedlate action. It is reported that deposits of bonds have already been made with the Mercantile Trust Companj. at the call of the committee. The strength of Sugar was due to the expectations that the Senate finance committee would report the tariff , bill with the sugar amendment. General Klectric was sold by Boston In liquidation of a big block of stock held there for some time. Boston houses also sold New England on the belief that no change In the proposed plan of reorganization can be effected. London was not very largely In the market, but sold amall lots of St. Paul and Louisville in the early trading, and later bought Heading and Atchison on the decline. -S)me orders at a figure below the current quotation were cabled from Lon- . don before the opening to buy St. Paul, but the stock did not touch the price named. The -market opened generally a fraction lower, and prices declined In the early trading, except for Sugar and Chicago Gas. The weak, tn wan of brief duration, and. under the lead of Tobacco, the general list moved up.Hfil Per cent., only, however, to give way quickly under a pressure to sell, whic'a waa not checked until after 11 o'clock. The market waa steadied somewhat by pur- , chases to cover short contracts, and after midday the tone of speculation became better temporarily. Renewed sales of Atchison and a pressure of Northern Pacific preferred ajraln broke the market, and the trend of prices for the rest of the day was mostly downward. Sugar was a notable exception, being strong in the final dealings, and closing at an advance of V2 per cent on the day, the preferred gaining xew OTk. Lackawanna & Western gained 1V: Illinois Central. , and Iowa, Central preferred, f. The rest of the list traded In Pacific preferred and Union Pacific. 1 per cen t. The bond market was firm during the morning, but weak in the afternoon. The principal changes In price are: AdvancedCentral Pacific sixes of 1S3S, 1H: Union Pacific firsts of is:s, l; Consumers' Gas firsts, Knoxville & Ohio firsts and Northwest debenture fives of 1S33. each 1 per cent Declines Ohio Southern fours, 2; Reading fours, 1; Reading firsts preferences. 2. l.rie sexnds consols trusts sold at 771 against &5 on March 28; Wheeling & Lake Erie Improvement lives sold at S.", against 92 on Feb. 20; Peoria.

Ex-Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, emphasizes a truth frequently urged In these columns, yet which ought to be constanth' reiterated by every farming Journal, every speaker at the Institutes and every father who would have his sons follow in his chosen profession. That fact Is the necessity of education in the business of farming. The actual failure of many of our richly endowed agricultural colleges is be. cause the antinuated notion that "anybody can farm" still so largely prevails. The farmer boy has well trained hands, but his mind not having been schooled in the right direction, he long remains a mere hand laborer, discontented with his surroundings and most apt to turn his back upon the farm for a life elsewhere, with its elusive bubbles of fame and fortune. The hope of this Nation rests with the agricultural classes, and the future of farming depends upon our sons and daughters. Odds and Ends. In packing bottles or canned fruit for moving slip a rubber band over the body of them. A simple way to remove grease spots from wall paper is to bold a piece of clean blotting paper over the spot and press a warm fiat iron oyer it. Repeat the opera, tion until the grease Is out. Cheesecloth makes the most satisfactory of glass toweling. Get the coarse sort that costs only 5 and 6 cents a yard, cut it In yard lengths, hem all around, and, once tried, they Will never be missing from your pantry outfit. If painting Is In projn-ess It Is an excellent plan to plac two or three buckets of water with a handful of hay in each In the vicinity. The water absorbs the unpleasant odor and saves one from suffering from the ill effects of paint. One tcaspoonful of liquid ammonia in one jrallon of water will often restore color to carpets even when injured by an acid or alkali. Where the ceiiing has been whitewashed with carpet down the few dro;s that have ben scattered may be removed with this mixture. In the choice of table cloths the finer the pattern the prettier the effect. Like wall papers and carpets, they are intended to make a pleasing background for the furniture; any conspicuous or assertive design is not artistic. The shot patterns, which vary in size from a rlnhead to a pea, sell all the time to lovers and Judges of fine table furniture. Select a windy but rather overcast day for airing mattresses, feather beds and pillows. While thi sun may not hurt the mattress it will draw from the feathers an unpleasant odor that is anything but agreeable. I'lenty of fresh air a"vl a good whipping will send these household articles back into place in a very nice condition. Sometimes, however, our best efforts amount to but little, ani then they should be givea into tha hands-of tha orofasslonal.

BULLS ENCOURAGED

Heavy Exports and Cut Worms Start an Advance in Wheat. Corn and Oats Likewise Made Gains, While Provisions Fell Off Slightly. CHICAGO, May 3. Wheat ruled firmer to-day on a small business, and closed with an advance of The movement of the stock is at last apparently coming the way of the bulls. The visible supply gives evidence of a speedy reduction by export. Although every foreign market In the world informs the trade of this country that they have already more than enough from other sources, they continue to receive about onehalf of what they need from the United Sbates and Canada. These heavy shipments are now being felt in reductions in the stocks here, and, without an overwhelming visible supply, It was asked to-day: "What are the bears to do?" Corn was firm and gained Uc. May oats were likewise 4c higher. Provisions are slightly lower. Wheat was firm, but extremely . dull all the forenoon. Apart from the bearish Influence left by the State bulletins regarding the progress of the winter wheat and the usual weakness of the cables, the situation was rather improved for the bulls. The receipts were light and the shipments liberal. There were reports that the army worms were Invading the wheat fields of Texas and that chinch bugs were paying their respects to the plant in Kansas. The local bear contingent was disappointed that more long wheat did not come out to help them to another break on which they might cover their short sales. They began buying In a quiet way, and the trade was so small that a moderate amount of buying was sufficient to create a diversion in favor of the bulls. There was also a good inquiry for new spring wheat for shipment at lc per bu over May price, and some was sold for that early In the day. July opened He below Wednesday's close, rose to KVfcc, and lost only He at the close. Corn was firm on a remarkably small amount of business. There was no other particular feature In the trade. July was weak for a moment at the start, and very little changed hands at the first quotation. It gradually strengthened until It touched COHc about the middle of the morning. The closing prices were at the highest point of the day's range. The oats market was dull. Just before the close prices were pushed up a trifle, and closed at the high point of the day, or at an advance of lie on May and from He to c on other futures. Trading in provisions was no exception to the general speculative stagnation which prevailed In the other pits.' Prices ruled a trifle easier, and a decline was made as soon as the market opened. Pork lost 10c but lard and ribs were unchanged. Estimated receipts for Friday are: Wheat, 72 cars; corn, 170 cars; oats, 170 cars; hogs, 20,000.

Hartford Courant. Looking over the lift of many hundreds of thousands of strawberry plants ordered, it Is astonishing to see how little call thers is for varieties that were In great demand four or five years ago. At that time a list of one hundred thousand plants would ba made up more than 83 per cent, of Crescents, Miners, Sharpless and, perhaps, Downlngs. while to-day not 5 per cent, are of these varieties, and 85 ier cent, will le , of Greenville, Princess, Lovett, Swindle and Bubach, which are the leading market varieties at the present time. Very or very late berries are what there is the most call for, market growers finding less profit In those that ripen in midseason. The thlnpr to be regretted In all this strawberry business is that the mo$t vigorous and productive varieties are thosi that axe pistillate or imperfect bloomers, and have to have some perfect flowering varieties put out with them. For many years past planters have been forced to put out perfect flowering varieties that were not very productive, Just for the sak of polinlzing the Imperfect varieties, and to-day they are in the same fix with late, varieties. Gandy is the only large and fine perfect flowering very late sort, but is too Fhy a bearer to be very profitable. But in the early list we now have of perfect bloomers the Dayton. Lovett, Leader and Beder Wood, any one of which Is prolltable In itself, and therefore a combination can be made without loss, as In former years. Hens to Lny. H. B. Greer, In Western Rural. Of the pure bred varieties the best layers are to be found among the class of fowls that comes to us from the region of the Mediterranean sea, the Leghorns from Italy, the white-faced Ulack Spanish and the Black Mlnorcas from Spain, orig inally. Of the above the Black Spanish are the oldest and formerly th best known and most extensively bred In the country. Lattr came the Leghorns, of which there are four distinct varieties the brown, the white, the black and the domlnique Leghorn, to which we miRht add the Blue Andaluslan. which Is a typical Leghorn In shapa and style. The Black Mlnorcas are of comparatively late introduction and, unlike the Leghorn, they came to us from England instead of their native country'. It is said that they were Introduced Into the lower part of England, down about Devonshire and Cornwall, In the copper mining region, several hundred years ago by Spanish Bailors, and that they have been bred in that part ever sine?. The Black Minorca3 have made but little impress, however, on the common poultry of this country up to the present time. The Work of n Far in. Philadelphia Inquirer. A farmer may work and yet not) work. Thousands of men engaged In the occupation of agriculture are narrow as to deny this; Indeed, they deny that anything Is work which is not done with the hands. An intelligent farmer with a large farm and plenty of capital may employ hlmelf In planning work for hi men, in marketing crops, in purchasing fertilizers and directing their distribution, in buying irees and giving oversight to their planting in erecting new buildings or repairing old ones, in keeping accounts with his laborers and of all the operations of the farm, Iri the purchase and sale of breeding stock, in ai ling to sustain organizations In behalf of ayrlcultura and do little or no work witli his hands, and yet be a first-rate farmer and a useful man and find profit in what he does. The value of his work may easily exceed that of a dozen laborers, and still some men will sav that he does not really work at all. but that is a mistake.
