THE MARK ETS.
GniCAgn Market.


The T,7banc yesterday says: The leading
produce markets were steady yesterday, and
most of them were very slow. IL was not
exactly the dullest day ever seen on Change,
but very near to it. The absence OF demand
weakened quotations in most departments,
but they ended up firm at o'clock, with lit
tie change from the prices of twenty-feur
hours previously. There was Il fer shipping
movement.
Wheat, moderately active and easier; corn,
very dull; oats, active and irregular; rye, lies
active Yesterdays closing prices were as
follows: Wheat, $50; corn, 40; oats, 25@5
pork, 5000; lard, $685..
The present soft weather is understood &c
be very bad for corn. 1t threatens to spoil
large quantities of that which was struck by
the frost before maturity. 1t is also bad FOL
much OF the corn south OF the frosted areas
which would have cured all right with cool
ary weather. Letters and kilograms received
Thursday state that the yield of corn is very
disappointing all through Central Illinois, IL
Iowa, and large part OF Nebraska. Tn,
picking of the ears reveals a much smalle
quantity than had been counted on. The
prospect now is that the cribbing OF corr
will begin month later than it did las

Hedge Fences.

It makes but little difference whether
you plant Usage orange or hawthorne
for fencing in your farm. Either one
makes . good fence when properly at
tended to, and neither one makes fence
at all when neglected. The Usage orange
will make . fence in less time than
hawthorn, but it will cost more to keep
it in order, on account of its thrifty
growth, unless you let it take its own
course, as our worthy Cor unworthy
trustees do the one growing on the
burial grounds of our county seat. Said
hedge is twenty-five or thirty feet high,
and where it is thin enough for COW to
walk through they have put in boards
and nailed them to the stems OF the
hedge. That kind OF fence would
call a nuisance. The nice thing about q
well-set hedge fence is, you always have
. surplus of material. and the brush or
trimmings will always pay to gather and
burn them; whereas. in repairing q rail
fence you must always supply new rails
in place of those that have rotted out
The hedge fence il taken care Of. is an
everlasting fence. never knew one to
die that was taken care of. I could
show you hedge fences more than
hundred years old, and good fences yet
good enough to turn hogs or horses.
/ would advise every farm that has .
nice-laying farm to plant hedge fence
for road and line fences. 1t don make
any difference whether it is hard froze,
or wet from the last big rain, you can
trim hedge fence all the same; in fact,
winter is the time to shape up the hedge
fence. With agood hedge fence around
your farm you can rest contented till
morning without being afraid the wind
will blow down the line fence and let
your neighbors stock in your fields Of
grain. / admit there are other kinds of
fence that can be made quicker and
cheaper than hedge. but they will event.
ually rot out, and then to replace makes
them the most costly of the two. Not
SO with the hedge. 1t starts up every
spring and puts out its leaves and APP
pears to enjoy life with the fresh grass
and growing grain. As for the hedge
dying out on account Of thin soil. it is
out Of the question when sod is put
under and subsoil on top; the leaves from
the hedge will keep the soil rich enough.
l would rather attribute the cause of the
hedge dying to the surplus OF stagnant
water poisoning the roots. LIQUID Home
