The stock market continues slightly depressed.
There were large sales at the first board to-day, but
lower prices ruled, and at the close the tendency
was downward. Illinois Central bonds fell of per

ment. TIE sales Of Cumberland were larger than
usual at the decline. Illinois Central bonds were
freely offered TO- day, and sold from 81 down to 500
per cent. About $4,000 changed hands. Virginia
6's and Indiana 5's were active, and closed firm.
The market Is evidently getting weaker, and we
should not be surprised to see prices gradually set
tie down. New buyers are much wanted, and we
cannot look for an advance ION current rates until
they make their appearance. AL the large specu-
lators for rise are full of Stocks and until they
are relieved of portion OF their supplies, must
remain inactive. When they realize to any ex-
tent, prices must recede Productive stocks are not
affected so much by these movements of spectators,
for 60 large portion is held for permanent invest
ment that the market is in danger Of inundaton.
It is the fancy order those which are 30 much dead
weight In the hands Of holders that are subject to
such sudden and severe fluctuations. Money con-
tnues abundant, and there no indications Of any
unfavorable change. The banks are, however, ex.
psnding upon . speculative basis, and soon their
line viii be up to the highest point Of last year.
This In the face Of the limited commercial movement,
does not look WE'LL and IN the event Of revival Of
business Of any importance, the banks must either
extend their loans to an unprecedented amount, or
contract in certain classes Of loans, that would
hjuriously affect the market value Of stocks. The
war in Europe win act as wholesome check upon
mercantile matters. So long a. that war continues
there will be activity in trade, and this must lead
to an accumulation Of money in the hands Of CAPT
tssts who win look about for the best class Of stock
securities for Investment. 1t is therefore for the
interest Of Wall street that the war shoud continue
and that the political condition Of Europe should
become even moro complicated than it Is at present.

Time to grow Grass Seed.

Various opinions prevail as to the most suita-
Bile time to grow grass seed.
There are records as to its success at all
times, from the last of February to the middle
of June Some tell us the best time is the
new of the moon.
Ibelieve the whole matter lays in the seed
being sown at such time, and with such care,
that the young rootlets can bewell formed and
imbedded in the soil before hot, dry weather.
In seeding clover upon fields of wheat, the
last Of february to the middle of March, ex-
perience has shown is the most certain period
of success, simply because the action of frost
upon the soil tends to cover the seed, and
thus and its termination. Seed sown with
spring crops. ofrye. barley, wheat, or oats,
should always be lightly narrowed in. often a
simple brushing over the land will do; and this
is perhaps the most advisable on clayey lands
and fields sown very early in the season. The
true, and most profitable mode of obtaining a
good meadow, is to SOW only the grass seed
and not with other crops as is the general GUS
tom this did last season, and notwithstand-
ing the dry season I cut more Cater in the
season to be sure) to the acre, than upon a
meadow seeded the year previous in the ordi-
nary way.

souine Cloyaraeed.

Sowing cloverseed In the spring upon grain,
or upon land that had been previously seeded
with timothy, is 50 well understood il this re-
gion, that information upon this subject is
scarcely information at all Still we may not
be doing any harm, in giving the method of
an Indiana farmer, which viii be found de-
tailed below. The obj ction to sowing in the
chaff, is the uncertainty of the quantity sown
otherwise the views of our Indiana friend
may possess some weight -
Ny time for sowing is in the Sd month
(March) about the last freeze, or cold spell,
when the ground is frozen if rain or wet
weather precedes it, there will be icicles, as it
: were, oozed out of the ground, the seed falls
between these, and when melted covers the
seed nicely; it saves the trouble of narrowing.
which is recommended by many, and is con-
sidered indispensable to late sowing | also
find, by experience, that sowing in the ehaf
is much the surest plan, as the hull or chaf,
that encloscs the seed, iD dry weather holds
moisture, and in late frosts or freezes, after
the germ has made its appearance, it protects
and serves as o manure to strengthen the
germ Two years ago this spring, neigh
Dor sowed the same way | did, the fields adj
joining-he put in clean seed, [ sowed in the
chaf; the result was, that mine was pretty
well set, while his was an entire failure.
SOW 40 bushels in chaff on ten acres having
the previous fall sown it with timothy seed
that is equal to one clean. Sow plenty of
seed and you are almost sure of having a
good set.

Cheap Compost For Manure.

Having received the credit for two years of
having as good pieces of corn as any in our
nsighborhood. and attributing our success main
j. to the use of "a single handful of cheap com
post. dropped in each hill before planting the
corn, we give you statement as to bow we
form it.
Supposing load to contain about twenty
five bushels, we take two loads of muck manure
from our hog-yard, one load of wood ashes,
and three bushels plaster paris Work the
parts thoroughly together with hoe or shovel.
Our corn ground having received coating
of manure before plowed, the harrow follows
the plough length wise of the furrows until
the soil is well pulverised. We mark one
way for the hills with shallow furrow of the
plow, and then draw chain the other way
which shows the place for each hill The
compost gives the corn good start, and the
manure helps it out. We have also, for the
two years past, soaked our seed corn in strong
solution of tobacco water, and have not been
troubled much with worms. Let it remain
In the solution from twelve to twenty -four
hours. VIM. E. Cowles, Canton Connecticut.

Old Anple Trees,

Ifyou have healthy trees, they will yield you
a return for working them over and cultiva-
ting them much quicker than you can possibly
get it from young trees. A large, sound old
apple tree, thouh producing only crab apples.
If it stands near home and convenient for cul-
tivation, is worth more than City dollars. We
have seen tree which, we have repeatedly
been informed more than &c. barrels ofmarketa-
Bile apples have been taken in single year.
1t is a Baldwin, and bears. more or less, every
year-but has every advantage which high
cultivation affords. The modes of grating
are well understood We will only and-what
seems not to be fully approximately yet that an
apple tree needs cultivation just as much as a
hill of corn, and will not flourish well without
it.-N e. Fagmer.
