WEDNESDAY, May 1872. n.


To-day has developed decided change in the
tone of the speculation at the Stock Exchange.
Whether the change is for . day or for long
pull" Is the question which ia agitating the minds
of average operators tonight. The correct solution
of that question is the road to fortune On the one
side 1t is contended with truth that there has been
large liquidation of the bull" account. and that
stocks have lodged in strong hands, which at least
will make the attempt TO find a market at higher
figures. On the other side, aud with equal force,
1t is commended that prices for many stocks and
particularly for those which pay no dividends, are
still unreasonaby high, aud that no sIncant Of
liquidation of bun accounts change the fact.
THE TRIBUNE will quarrel with no one who
places low vaiuation On the stock Of the
Pacific Man Steamship Company, yet It 10
worth while to remember that The stock which now
Is selling at 32sa was eagerly purchased at 90 only
a short time ago. We would not like to say that
Pacific Mail stock Is worth what t ID selling for.
bat IL Ii safe to say that 1t IL not now worth Is per
cent less than 1t was two months ago. We haye
cited PseiRc Mail stock as an example. But recog-
nizsnx the fact that the stock market 10
q vpeoaiative market. and that 1t b Only
occasionally that real valnss exert thsR

THE DAIRY.


The English oonsumedlast year 137,-
100000 pounds of American cheese, as
against 121, 100000 the previous year.
DENMARK exports more butter than
! the United States, although she has but
one-twentleth as many cows as we, and
it costs twice rs much to produce but
Ter there as here. t.,..
DIR. HOWARD Il. GATES. Analyses the
milk of each COW of the 100 kept at
Echo Farm and when one is found fall
ing below the proper standard she is at
once eliminated from the herd,
The Grocer thinks that if the dairy
| interest continues to increase as it has
been doing heretofore, in a few years
hence no other country need make but
ter and cheese, as this country will be
able to supply the requirements of the
world at low rate and of better
quality than they can make it them
| selves.
WATER from a swamp is not good for
cows to drink. 1t seriously affects the
milk, and of course the butter made
from it. Nor should they be allowed
to drink from pools in which they
stand, or in which their droppings are
deposited. A great deal of the success
Of dairy depends on a supply of good,
| pure water.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
Gentleman declares that the use of
borax for preserving butter is obiec-
tionable on account of its injurious
effects upon the system. 1t has been
used alone in packing butter at the rate
of six to eight per cent. Before it is
used for this purpose, some careful ex-
periments should be made, but who
will offer himself as victim to test the
injurious effect upon the digestive and
urinary organs of this saltP
DANIEL H. RICE of Barre, Mass,
owned native COW which gave the
first ten days in June 81 lbs. of milk,
which made 10 lbs. of butter about
19k lbs. of milk for pound of butter.
The first ten days in September she
gave 81 lbs. of milk, which made 16
lbs. of butter, the percentage of butter
about the same as in June. The falling
off in milk from June to September,
was only 6 lbs. per day-something re-
markable.

and viii be sure TO tell against the but
ter when it is placed upon the market.
The best temperature atwhich to churn
IN cold weather is 81 deg, and 60 deg.
in warm weather. Churn only until
the butter has come in small particles,
and never allow it to mass before draw
ing off the buttermilk. Draw off the but
teimilk into clean vessel, so that, if
any small particles of butter escape,
they can be returned to the churn. Let
the butter drain well; then wash with
pure cold water. Mind that your water
is pure, anduse itfreely until the butter
milk is expelled. Then the butter will
be found in little particles, just ready
to receive the salt, which should be
good, and one ounce to the pound.-

During the past few months says the
Petroleum, (Pa.) World, the Standard
Oil Company has had agents through the
northwest buying lands, principally in
Minnesota, for which in every instance
cash has been paid None but the best
wheat lands are being taken. I, These
purchases have already amounted to
forty thousand acres in. Minnesota
alone. Two weeks ago man Was sent
quietly from Pittsburgh to superintend
q large portion of this land. OF the
forty thousand acres, twenty thousand
will be broken up and cultivated in
wheat this year. Purchasing agents are
still in the northwest, and the work of
gobbling lands continues. This pur-
chasing committee travel in special
car, and when they encounter tract of
land that suits them, it is at once alb
sorbed. Much of this property is in
the shape of land grants to railroads. 1t
is the intention of the Standard Com
pany to purchase million acres of the
choicest wheat lands of the west before
another year. The chances are that
they will have this enormous quantity
inside of six months, as the work of buy
ing is being carried on in the most
princely manner. II is said to be
the most gigantic land speculation that
any country has ever known and yet so
secretly has it been carried on that no.
body outside of the giant oil monopoly
knew Of it until forty thousand acres
had been gobbled up. These enor-
nous purchases are being made from
the profits of the Standard oil business
large per centage of which comes in
shape of rebates from railroads. None
OF the capital stock of the company is be-
ing tied up in this land grab. Discuss
ing the big speculation, prominent
railroad man says: ." In this railroad
managers can see some of the results of
permitting corporations like the Stand
ard Oil Company TO exact drawbacks
and rebates on shipments.n Aside from
rebates on freights, large portion of
the Standards profits comes from their
manipulation of the oil markets. These
are but two of the sources whence the
monopoly can draw for the capital they
are now investing in these Western
lands. A corporation that can increase
its assets to $22, 100000 in ten years on
lures and the three great trunk lines
of the country, is probably not pressed
for funds. The opinion obtains among
those who are eognizant of this move of
the Standard that the object is to get
control of the wheat market as they
now control the oil market. They will
be large producers of wheat and if nee
essary, large buyers as well. It is
thought their power over the railroads
as shown in the transportation of oil,
will enable the Standard to say to the
world just how much it shall pay them
for its daily bread. .
