WINTER FEED FOR FowLs.-This should
depend on the object i'll view. II it lie TO
tatten them, a plenty Of good corn and
clean water will accomplish the Object
II you simply desire to keep them alive,
and care nothing for their eggs or their
flesh, let them roost in cold, bleak, out
door place, and pick up what they can
get among your cattle in the yard But
It you wish to have them lay, you must
provide warm roosts, and feed them such
food as will make both flesh and eggs
For this purpose, we have found nothing
better AS a standard food than corn
But, though the main food, it should by
no means be the only one. Give them
occasionally boiled potatoes, bits Of fresh
cooked meat scraps, and the scraPings Of
your dinner plates generally.
AS change in The way OF grain, oats
may be given, or the screenings Of wheat,
which are, perhaps, better than almost
anything besides corn. Would you have

The course Of the stock market during the week
has been a. follows

The views which we presented in this column
week ago have thus been confirmed. The approach
of The increase of traffic on the railroads, and -.
general prosperity which must flow from tho enor.
nous harvests Of the great xorthwest. are tell.
ing on the price, Of stocks, and will proba-
bly, continue TO tell until their real values
are more nearly approached. For the first
ume Cor many months, the commission
orcners report an increase of business, and some
orders to buy stocks 1t is hardly necessary to add
on the hand, that the increase Of railway traic
is yet neither large general, or on the other
that the commission business of the stock brokers
is yet small. We are only witnessing the commence
ment of the revival. Weeks must yet elapse
before the roads fully enjoy the effects of the
harvest; the commission business will probably in
crease steadily from this time out.
The control of the Stock Exchange appears thus
to be passing out of the hands of the bear obbers
who have SO long ruled there supreme. During
the past week the struggles of these parties to
tain their influence and keep prices down have been
repeated and violent. But they have not met With
much success. Prices have invariably risen the
moment the jobbers ceased their offerings of
stock and the prospect is that the resistance offer
ed to the upward movement will only increase the
losses of its authors.
There has not been for years time when so
many various circumstances co-operated to pro,
duce period of speculation in Wall street; unless
ali the usual signs fail the brokers will have bust
ness enough before the autumn is over.

SUNDAY, august 70, 1909.
The fall business with the interior has now be.
fairly active The hotels are crowded to their
utmost extent; for the first time since the crisis
every section of the Union is fairly represented
among tie arrivals. There has been pretty
large business done during the week; though ia
dry goods especially, the large importations tend
70 check free purchases for the interior There Is
settled conviction among the couatry buyers tn 1t
large quantity of the less desirable styles OF
goods vii be sold of this fall at low prices at the
auction rooms; and many are holding back in an
nclpauon OF that event. The importers, on the
other hand, are satisfied that the increase in the
population OF the country since 1857 iustifies the
small excess Of this years impcgtations over those
OF that year, and labor jealousy to maintain mar
ket prices. The question at issue will probably be
determined by the volume OF the import entries
during September II they fall of prices will pro

Much depsnds likewise on the movement Of

wheat and Aour ct Chicago, and the shipments to

The movement of specie has been against the
bank reserve, in consequence of the late arrival of
the California steamer The export from this port
including the shipment of Saturday, 2Oth, and OK
elusive of that Of yesterday, was about $50 OO0
against which the banks have received several par
GELS of coin from the South and West The Sub
Treasury held yesterday 81 1872, against 81 $780,
ago at the close of last week. so that it has lost
money to the banks. The last bank average was
81, 4O3,4 4s and yesterday s2l26 900 arrived from
Cahfornia. An increase in the loan column is antic-
pated. Every one would be glad to hear that in.
stead OF increasing the banks had diminished their
discounts But the course of money during the
week and the general tone Of conversation in fnan.
cial circles do not favor the hope. I. may be
expected, however, that the increase will not be
large.
The fall In exchange at Chicago, and the
large arrivals of breadstufs at that point, warn
the banks to be prepared to send specie to
the West. 1t is possible that the purchases by
Western men in our markets may be large enough
to keep exchange from falling to q point at which
the West could draw specie from US, but the pros.
pect of very large remittances of grain and flour
should keep the banks on their guard.
Money has worked very easily throughout the
week. On demand it is not worth over six per
cent and sums are left with brokers of established
standing below that figure. At most of the large
banks the offerings of paper have been small, aud
there has been no difficulty in accommodating
dealers who presented short paper. At the dis
count houses, good paper, endorsed, goes readily
at per cent; single names, 10. The unwilling
ness which prevailed some time since to discount
paper maturing after December has disappeared.
Exchange continues very fat. Excellent bank
bihs-such as those of the Bank of Charleston and
Bank of Montreal-have been sold at 1921 a 1921.
The correspondents Of the Rothschilds ask ITO ll6
and llO9 FOR sight bills; but tese rates are above
the market. A fall in exchange is predicted by
importers.
