STIR THE SOIL.

The greater the drought, the more neces.
~ for frequently stirring the soil, among our
hoed crops aud IN our gardens. The atmos-
phere even in hottest days contains large
amount of moisture, as will readily be obsefy-
ed when there is sny cause for its condensa-
tion-such as the cold surface Of pitcher of
ice water-upon which it gathers from the
air, so as to run down its sides in drops Of
considerable size. The earth. if light and
porous from deep plowing and frequent cul.
ture, will IN the same way, absorb much
water from the atmosphere.
The difference in the amount of moisture
gathered by a suil frequently stirred and
roughened, is much larger than generally
supposed. The soil when undisiurbed soon
becomes. from rain and other causes, smooth
and hard, with much smaller surface and
power Of attraction than il would otherwise
possess. After disintrgrslion, the stmos.
phere can readily enter the soil, and on meet.
ing with the colder PARTICLES below. is robbed
Of the moisture il contains. which process
is continually repeated where a light and
open surface admits Of continual absorption.
f" II IS Tor this reason that feqaenl hoeing Is
iaund SO beneficial, aud also from similar
causes thai under drained aud subsoIled Land
suffers least from drought"
Not only is mpistnre best absorbed by
frequently stirred soil. but the manurial
acid and ammonia-are
more extensively attracted aud appropriated
IRON the atmosphere. Soils, light from
mixture Of muck, suffer less from drought
than most olhers. There is no danger uf any
deeply plnwed soil becoming still dryer by
the most thorough exposure TO the sun and
air. as SEINE suppose. Stir the sol, then
suffer no weeds 10 liye--and you may be sure

South, at 7, 81, and lOf for shoulders, sides
and clear sides, and 81 for clear rib sides,
but this demand slackened off some yester-
day, and the market was easier. The de-
mand is chiefly for sides. The demand for
bacon induced an improved demand fer bulk
meat, and ], 100000 lbs sold at 55G06 for
shoulders, 84@88 for sides, and 9409g for

demand for produce being chiefly from the
South.
The market for uncurrent money has been
much better during the week, and rates of
discount declined materially. The currency
of Illinois and Missouri is securing a better
reputation under the new laws which have
been passed in toth'these States, regulating
banking, and this improved feeling has pro-
duced somewhat of a speculative demand
for this currency. Exchange on the East
has largely declined in Chicago and st.
Louis, which is an indication of a more le-
gitimate state of monetary affairs in the
the Northwest. The number of Giscredited
banks in Illinois has been reduced, aud now

UKCURREsr.


Nothing has transpired in political affairs
of startling nature, during the week, so
that business cannot be said to have been af-
fected in this way. There has been bet
ter demand from the South for provisions,
and as the orders are generally accompanied
with the cash, they are, of course, the most
satisfactory which can be desired.
Wheat has been in fair demand all the
week at 90 for prime red and l O5G01 10
for prime white, the latter rate for Ken
lucky. Corn has not changed essentially :;
the demand is fair and the market closed
slightly buoyant Barley unchanged, and
prime talf in good demand at 68@70.-
Cheese in fair demand at 81 for good ship
ping lots. Butte, fresh and suitable for ta-
| BILE, use scarce, and 2(93c higher, but the
lower grades dull and neglected /; strictly
choice roll would sell at l8c at the close
There has been an active demand for clover
! seed, and prices largely advanced, closing
| at 80, and holders asking 90 at the close.
| Timothy advanced to 8003 90, the latter
| the asking rate at the close. The supply of
both is light, and the demand good The
receipts during the week were out 272 bbs
of both, whilst the exports were 848 bbls.
There has been good demand for flour,
and prices improved slightly, and at the close
| holders refused to sell superfine below So
The demand has been chiefly for this grade
The demand is chiefly from the South, as but
a small portion of the exports go to the East
There has been good demand for whis-
ky at full prices, and though the receipts
have been quite large the demand has been
fully up to them, and the market closes firm
at 133c. Of the exports during the week
over 5000 bbls went South
Late advices from New Orleans announce
that the New Orleans branch of the house
of Cobb, Martin & Co, which was forced to
suspend last November, resumed payment
last week. The New York house did moi
suspend. 1t gives US pleasure to make the
announcement.
In the grocery market good business
has been done, at full prices. The demand
from the interior continues good. but the
great bulk of the purchases are being made
in comparatively small parcels. Good tc
choice sugar sells at st to 7Bc: coffee at
I3I4033c, and molaSses at 3IG,32c, Thi:
article is sold sparingly at these rates, a.
the leading importers will not sell large lot:
less than 34@35c. The exports during th,
week, compared with the corresponding
weeks in 1860 and 1859, stands as follows

doing in groceries in this city is the larges
in any previous year.
