THE STOCK MARKET

to-day was like the weather-slOppy. 1t opened
weak and with every indication of a rampage by
the bears. 1t encouraged free selling process,
and right and left. shares were dropped as If they
were too hot to hold. The decline was led bv Lake
Shore, which, before the middle OF the day. fell OF
IL per cent, and Western Union, which receded
IL per cent. Rock Island, New York Central,
Pacific MAIL st. Paul and c.. @. and l. G., more or
less participated in the downward movement. The
speculation, however, was attended with much &C.
tivity as well as recovery, and we note transac-
lions between 10 ana IL M. amounting to Ia, 800
shares. After noon the market became stronger,
and advanced under the influence OF rapid cover
ing by those who had been tempted into short
lines earlier In the day. The range OF the market
will best be described by figures. The opening OF
Western Union was at 75K. 1t declined to 73%,
thence commenced 10 ascend until it closed at rs.
Panama opened at lis and closed at 115H. Rock
Island ranged from 1031 to 1O4X. Pacific Mail
commenced work a. 40, but at the close called for
A. after having sold 4 higher Lake shore
opened at 79A, dropped to 1871, recovered and
wound up at SO3I. New York Central opened at
1O2 fell on to 101X and advanced to 1929, with
close at 1O2z. Delaware, Lackawanna and
western moved from 99X to 1O1. Hannibal and
St. Joseph common changed only 4 per cent. e.,
G. and L @. closed at 81 being also steady The
variation in Union Pacific was N per cent, the
lowest extreme being 33h and the highest 34&.
Erie nuctuated only u per cent. Northwestern
common opened at 59X, advanced to 81 and
closed at COZ. st. Paul sold at AN a 48A a AK
a ASK q lS, preferred at 71h u. Mariposa Land
and Mining Company sold at II a lOx. 1t is init
mated that this stock, heretofore neglected. is in
the hands OF capitalists, who propose to give it
new life. Ohio and Mississippi changed from 33's
TO "a. Harlem closed at lbs.
CONGRESSIONAL INFLUENCES.
Mr.. Wilson, Of Indiana, to-day introduced in the
House OF Represen tatives q resolution authorizing
the Banking and Currency Committee to report a
bill for the nnstion Of the currency and demanded
the previous question; but it was refused by the
house, by vote Of 1876 yeas to 90 nays Qess than
the required two thirds). An effort is being made
by interested parties to construe this vote as
strong one in favor OF naton but the fact is that
1t shows weakness, 1t being both the custom and
courtesy OF members of the House to vote to per-
init the introduction of resolution, though they
may intend to vote against 1t on the question Of
Its passage. This Is the second attempt which has
failed to receive permission to introduce resolu-
tons favoring imitation, while those Of Mr.. Ho-
mans and Mr.. Hawley were both seconded and
passed.

The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1874-10-17

ents some time since made the startling
announcement that on an average they
did not do over two months work be.
fore they were worn out,-estimating
that two weeks labor was got out Of
them each year, and that in four years
they were used up. Now this
ought not so to be, and yet it is on q
par with much of the farming in the
West. Build shelter, be it ever so
cheap, and store your machinery in it
the first thing after getting your grain
in the stack. Take out the sickle, oil
it, and 10y it away for safe keeping lin
your house. Clean thoroughly all the
metal work and rub it over with tai
low, to save rusting, for this not only
destroys your machine, but causes fric-
ton, which will rack it to pieces when
it is next needed for use. And as soon
as you can, paint it over. Paint pre-
serves your wood and keeps it from sun
cracks and rot. If it is sheltered and
painted, and kept from rusting, and the
nuts properly screwed up when in use,
good harvester will last dozen years
with occasional renewal of the sickle.

Corn In England.

The New York Tribune contains the
following: 1t would be strange indeed
if wo should be indebted to England for
a variety Of corn hardy enough to re-
sist severe frosts. A statement is, how.
ever, published in the English papers
that "Cobbett's thousand.fold acclima.
ted Indian corn" has been successfully
adapted to the cool and variable climate
of England, in which heretofore our
corn could not be grown or ripened.
William Goblet will be remembered as
the English liberal agitator who for
some time had his residence upon Long
Island. His son, William Goblet, has
Ion & been endeavoring to introduce the
growth of corn into England, and it
seems that he GLAZING to have succeeded.
We learn that upwards Of three acres
Of this acclimated corn is now growing
at Houndslow, near London, and that it
has successfully withstood some severe
frosts with great hardihood, and is now
very promising. If our neighbors in the
East have really produced a frost-prool
corn so prolific as it is made to appear
by the sounding title given to it, and
which we have quoted, it will 60 to
shake our faith in our permanent de-
pendence upon Europe as market for
our surplus crop Of this cereal, and on
the contrary, cause US to look thither
for supply Of seed Of so valuable a
plant. But we are somewhat doubtful
as to tho truth of this statement.

THE LOTUS PLANTER.

A Drahmin on lotus pod
Once wrote the holy name OF God.
Then, planting it, he asked in prayer
For some new fruit, unknown and fair.
A Slave hear by, who bore load
Fell tainting OIL the dusty road.
The Brahmin, plying, straightway ran
And lifted up tile fallen man.
The deed scarce done, he stood aghast
At touching one beneath his caste.
"Behold," lie cried, 81 am unclean;
Ny hands have clasped the vile ant
mean"
God saw the shadow on his face,
Ami wrought q miracle Of grace.
The buried seed arose from death
And bloomed and fruited at his breath.
The stalk bore up u leaf Of green,
Whereon these mystic words were seen:
"Cirst, count men all Of equal caste
Then count tllyself the least and last"
vhe Brahmin, with bewildered brain,
Beh.ld the will OF God writ plain.
TRANSPORTED then in sudden light,
The Slave stood sacred in His sight
Thereafter in the Brahmin's breast
Ahode Gods peace, and he was blest.
