MEETING OF THE FARMERS CLUB.-On Monday
night, March 19th the farmers undertook to look
into the matter of agricultural education The at
tendance was not large and our experimental farm
ers and several thoughtful men who are given con-
sideraby to theory well as to practice-the very
men who it was expected would talk most on this
subject-were absent. Discussion on this most i'm
portant and practical subject was suffered to lag.
The fact that farmers boys no longer found the
farm attractive and left it to run down on their faith
ers' hands, was commented upon; and the re-
marks by Messrs. Bigelow and Hadwen seemed to
indicate partial remedy for this wholesale emigra-
ton Of the boys from the farm. That was, to make
the farm more attractive; to cultivate the ornament
al and aay these rrepressible and higher desires of
the boys nature to find their natural vent at home
on the land TO make the homestead place of IDEAS
art, and beauty, and not merely dreary shelter for
"hewers Of wood and drawers of water.r

had poor notion of modern education, and not

The feature OF the stock market all last week was
firmness combined with inactivity. There is no
great demand for stocks with the exception Of
State stocks) either for investment or for specula
ton; but, on the other hand, there are no stocks
pressing on the market for sale; hence prices are
well supported in a dull market. The leading
operators at the board are bears, but, against the
steadily maintained reports of increasing traffic on
the principal railways, they are not able to cause
any material decline in prices. 1t is evident that
the game Of last year is not going to be renewed
successfully.
We reprint with additions, our comparative
table Of the railway traffic Of January on the prin-

SUNDAY FEB. IL, 1861.
The receipts Of cotton continue to increase, and
the crop estimates now range from 4,250,O0O to
| 100000 bales. Notwithstanding this prospect,
the price steadily advances. Late steamers from
Europe report buoyant market at Liverpool, and
higher prices; hence our market has advanced
fully cent. The movement is predicated, in
part, on the increased demand for raw cotton
which will flow from the adoption of free trade in
France, and the commencement of a new era of
manufacturing industry in that country. Indepen-
IDENTIFY Of this however, there is no doubt that the
consumption Of cotton is increasing even more
rapidly than the production, and notwithstanding
the large area of new ground planted each year
we look for no material decline in the price. The
shipments both from here and from Southern ports
| continue to be liberal.
| The unsettled condition of the European grain
and flour markets has almost put stop to our ex-
port Of cereals; there has been, however, an ad-
vance in both wheat and -four since last week in
consequence of the increased home demand for
consumption. Corn continues to decline. The grain
receipts at Chicago keep up. This time last year
there was very little wheat, -four, or corn coming
into Chicago; at present the receipts especially of
corn are very large indeed. There seems no
doubt but last years crop in the West notwith.
standing partial failures here and there will, in the
average, compare favoraby with past years, and,
unless the foreign demand which we have been so
long told to expect should arise, will enable the
people Of the North to purchase bread at a mode
rate price all summer.
There is better demand for pork and beef and
both have advanced, especially the former. In
illinois the receipts Of pork are larger than last
year; elsewhere the report is that the crop Is
short.
The foreign produce market exhibits no marked
change. Sugars are very firm, without much do.
ing. Coffee is buOyant at an advance. Teas are
firm; some old green lately sold at auction was
wanted at an advance Of two cents pound. Hides
steady; considerable shipments to foreign Mar.
kets are being made.
The dry goods importers are little disappointed
with the weeks business the purchases having
been less than was anticipated. There are buyers
in town from the most northern of the slave States
but they, like the city jobbers, are buying
with great caution. It is too early for the
buyers from the far South or the West; but
the expectation is that when they come they
will purchase freely. There can be no doubt but
the Western purchasers will be able to buy more |
than usual and the South is richer than yer be-
FORE similar increase is looked for from that quar-
ter The imports from Europe are about the same
as last year. |

Since Jan, !. ~, oooooS ,uo4ooS
The movement of specie has been against the bank
ayerage-the Sub-Treasury having been a large
gamer since last week, and some small sums having
been sent abroad. At the close of last week the
banks held average specie reserve of$l9 1924 30l,
and the Sub Treasury balance of $9,0l0,569 Yes
terday the Sub Treasury balance stood at 1872
nearly the whole Of the 81 100 900 having been paid
in on account of the loan awarded 31st January;
and the bank reserve probably stood at about
<l9,25O,0OO. This is, however, exclusive of
81 476 900 received on Friday afternoon from Cali
fornia, which will restore the bank average to the
neighborhood of twentyone millions. There is no
prospect of a revival, for some weeks at all events,
of heavy specie shipments to Europe, and as soon
as the Post Office Appropriation vii passes, the
Sub Treasury bala6Se here Will be speedily trans
fered TO the banks. For the present, therefore
the banks stand in no danger of embarrassment
from any undue drain upon their bullion; though,
If they continue, as last week, to increase their
loans at the rate of million week, it Is certain
that before the year ends they will have trouble
enough. Many of the most experienced and sound
est financiers in the country are already looking
forward with great anxiety to the future.
Everything now looks well. The crops are
good, and are netting good prices to the
producers; commerce is increasing and
confidence is gaining ground; the only dark spots
on the horizon are the bank expansion and the i'm.
ports Of dry goods. If any guarantee could be
offered that the banks would this spring keep their
discount line within moderate bounds, and that the
dry goods importers would not increase their pur.
chases from abroad, it would be safe to predict a
period Of solid and unexampled prosperity for the
| country.
Money remains as easy as il was. Till yesterday
there was fair demand for money among the
brokers at ak per cent; yesterday the demand fell

The Central and Erie reports have not come to
hand. Both will probably show an Improvement
over last year. All the Western roads, except the
Galena, are doing better The Galena shows q
small falling of, in consequence of the want of
corn on that line. The Michigan roads, especially
the Southern, are doing unusually well.
On Saturday the "assented stock" Of the Erie
was called at the board for the first time, and was
quoted at the same value as the old stock We
understand that the number Of "assents' renders it
certain that the plan of reorganization will be car
ried out; the managers have therefore extended
indefinitely the period for asserting to the scheme
in order that every one who is interested may
come in and avail himself Of the advantages of the
new plan. Parties who have already assented will
now do well to call and exchange their old stock
for the new. committee Of the Stock Exchange

subject to which reference was made several
months ago in this column has again come up dur
ing the past week; we sllude to the project for an
open board, like the Paris Bourse. The scheme Is
now set forth in the shape of bill which has been
laid before the Legislature by certain parties, Who
not being members of the present board, have Ia
bored unsuccessfully to obtain the rights and priv
leges of members. Coming from such a source it
is hardly likely that any attention will be paid to it,
though the revival Of the project may lead those
members Of the board who were year ago in favor
of the open system to reconsider the matter.
Connected with this subject is the trade in
"cals, which has been much discussed in the street
of late. By this system, parties who choose to
speculate in stocks can limit their losses. A. is
willing to sell B. the right TO call on him for 900
