FRIDAY, Oct. 25-6 p. M.
The trade movement was fair to-day despite the
adverse influences OF wet weather and the great
difficulty OF moving merchandise about the city in
consequence Of the prevalence Of the horse plague
The demand for cotton was fair and business was
quite brisk for lots on the spot The movement In
breadstufrs was slow, the wheat market being
greatly depressed by unfavorable cable advices,
under which prices went down &c. q &c. per bushe,
while there was but little manifest inclination to
purchase even at the reduced prices current Corn
was also lower and dull at that. There was freer
movement In pork, under which prices advanced
considerably. Lard was also hrmer. The move
ment In Liverpool fregh ts was but moderate, and
steamers rates were rather In favor Of the shipper
There was good inquiry for vessels for charter,
particularly those suitable for the grain trade, in
view Of which rates were the turn nrmer, but the
the scarcity OF available tonnage checked
transactions. In the grocery market sugar
attracted the most attention, and In some
instances higher prices were realized. Petro-
leum was less active to-day, still there was
apparent weakness manifested holders continuing TO
demand full pricea Naval met with more inquiry,
but closed Irregular spirits being easy and rosin hrmcr

How to Save Onion Tops.

The top onions should be gathered as
when the top falls down and becomes
wilted When you cut off the top from
the onion, if the juice starts in little drops
the onion was not ripe, and would have
grown more. If they are suffered to
begin to grow again, burst open and di-
vide. New roots will start out and on
pulling the onion will cling. These roots
are sapping the onion, which, together
with a new top, will spoil the plant. If
you should cook such an onion you would
say it is strong, dry and tough, Whereas,
if gathered at the right time, they are
juicy, sweet and tender. would rather
gather them in It dry day and carry them
into chamber, where they should lie
until cold weather, when they should be
removed to the cellar, and laid in cool
but dry place. If they lie on the ground
they Will acquire moisture and spoil.
The top onion seed should also be
spread in a dry place until freezing
weather is coming Then they should be
put in bags and hung in cool, dry part
OF the cellar. We have already com
menced gathering, and have laid up about
forty bushels, some of the ground yield
ing at the rate of seven hundred bushels
to the acre, A neighbor of mine this
year raised at the rate of eight hundred
bushels to the acre, and many one Of
them measured more than a foot in cir
conference. His rows on the bed were
oncfoot apart He might just as well
have added one row to every two without
any injury to their growth
1t should be borne in mind by those
who would raise this vegetable, that the
two reasons for raising the top onions are,
first, that they almost always escape mag
gots, and they should be set out early.
Then the onion gets a start of all the
weeds and of the maggot fly, and are
sure crop. | have raised them over TWEEN
ty years, and have never failed. Cor.

Filing Saws.

The great secret of putting any saw in
the best possible cutting order consists in
filing the teeth at a given angle to cut rap
idly and of a uniform length, so that the
points will all touch a stralght-edged rule
without showing a variation of hun
dredth part of an inch. Besides this,
there should be just enough set in the
teeth to cut kerr as narrow as it can be
made, and at the same time allow the
blade to work freely without pinchng.
On the contrary. the kerf must not be so
wide as to permit the blade to rattle when
in motion. The very points of the teeth
do the cutting. If one tooth is TWEEN
tieth of an inch longer than two or three
on each side of it, the long tooth will be
required to do SO much more cutting than
it should, that the saving be well done.
Hence the saw goes jumping along, work
ing hard and cutting slowly. If one
tooth is longer than those on either side
of it, the short ones do not cut, although
the points may be sharp When
putting a cross. cut saw in order, it will
pay well to dress the points with an old
file, and afterwards sharpen with a fine
whetstone. Much mechanical skill is
requisite to put a saw in prime order.
~ lO AalNitNS I'LL uSb W llu u lllt VIII SIlOilGn
the point of tooth so much that il will
be utterly useless, so far as cutting is con
ccrned The teeth should be set with
much care, and the filing should be done
with great accuracy. If the teeth are I'M
even at the points, large flat file should
be secured to block of wood in such
manner that the very points only may be
joined, so that the cutting edge of the
same may be in a complete line, or cir
Gle. Every tooth should be cut little as
the saw is worked. The teeth of hand
saw for all sorts of work, should be filed
tleaming, or at an angle on the front edge,
while the back edges may be filed fleam-
ing, or square across the blade. The best
way to file circular saw for cutting wood
across the grain is to dress every fifth
tooth square across, and about one TWEEN
tieth of an inch shorter than the others,
which should be filed tieaming at an angle
of about forty degrees, -Industrtai Month
