Interest rates, 7Cd1O per cent. Government
bonds firm and steady but rather quiet
BREADsTUFFs.
The weakness shown in the leading grain
markets during the preceding week was more
fully developed during the week now under re-
view, and eliminated in general and quite
severe reduction in values. The speculative
element were the principal operators, although
there was more doing on shipping account
than for some time past. The influences,
however were mainly of a local character
and the bears seemed to have the control of
tho trade, and the way in which they used
their power is readily seen by comparison
of prices, and from the opening to the close
the markets have generally been weak with n
declining tendency. At times fervent feeling
would be noticed and the rapid decline in values
checked by the demand from shorts" who
bought freely at every reduction, but the influ-
ences were generally against the markets and
the improvements would prove but temporary.
The receipts were fair and in excess of the ship
ments except corn and oats. Spring wheat
and corn were the principal attractions,
the other markets ruling comparatively
quiet. New York and Liverpool advices
were of an unfavorable tenor, while the
weather was warm and the stock in store il
unusually large for the season. The forward
movement 80 far has been very light and the
problem of interest to spectators il, What
are we going to do with the stock on hand z"
AS consequence there are few sellers for
future delivery, and all the options are more or
less depressed, while the principal demand is
from shorts who are buying at the proht offered.
Rye and barley are comparatively firm, with
the closing quotations for the latter showing
some improvement

Postal Regulations.

The Postmaster General has issued
the following order : Amending section
103 of the regulations OF the Postoffice
Department, by striking out the words,
"And the subscription must be for not
less than three MONTHS" in the seventh
and eighth lines, SO as TO read follows:
SIC. 103. A regular subscriber is a person
who has actually paid. or undertaken to pay
subscription price for newspaper magazine,
or other periodical, or for whom such payment
has been made or undertaken to be made by
some other person: but in the latter case such
payment must have been made or undertaken
with the consent or at the previous request of
the person to whom such newspaper. magazine,
or periodical is sent. A person to whom any
such publication is sent without his consent or
request IL not regular subscriber within the
meaning of the law; and double transient rates
of postage will be charged on such publications
before delivery.
In foot-note addressed to Postmas-
tiers, the Postmaster General saws
+" Postmasters will observe that by this
amendment of the 1881 section Of the
regulations, persons who are subscribers
to a newspaper or periodicals, as defined
in the regulation, are TO be regarded as
regular subscribers within the intend
ment of the postal laws, without regard
to the length of time of their subscrip-
ton"

Chicken.Raising Extraordinary.

Two brothers named Calf have estab-
ished mammoth hennery in Colorado,
ten miles from Denver. 1t covers four
acres, which is laid out like village,
with streets and avenues, along which
are built long rows of houses of various
designs. Regular families are assigned
to these houses, and it is found that they
quickly domesticate themselves, without
troubling their neighbors. The popula-
ton of the village is about {, 900, divided
closely into social cliques of Brahmas,
Cochins, Shanghaes and Dorkings, and
the products are eggs and spring chick
ems. Sundays included, the industrious
matrons of the village turn out daily
from forty to fifty dozens of eggs, which
are sold for from 30 to 80 cents a dozen.
The brothers Calf express but single
regret, and that is that they did not
found their colony fifteen years ago,
when eggs brought s. dozen, and a
spring chicken was worth pennyweight
of gold-dust.

A REVOLUTIONARY MUsKEr. A Ho-
boken youth bought an old Revolution
airy musket, and the other day he went
out to Union Hill to try its effect on any
stray birds that he might get within gun
shot of. The first time he fired it it
jumped out of his hands, knocked him
down, chased him through q ten-acre lot,
climbed through the fence after him and
kicked him and jumped up and down on
him, and the poor fellow only saved his
life by climbing big tree. As it was,
he says the old musket waited for half
an hour at the foot of the tree for him to
come down. He tells this, and, strange
to say, not more than half the people
believe it.
