State of Trade.
JUNIUS,

New YORK. May 2. The general
t~ror of the special kilograms receiV-
ed by BTdCtStreet'S to-day corroborates
the views taken by this journal early
in the year, that, while the Spring
season would be likely to result in a
moderate degree of commercial ac-
tlvity, which, by comparison with
the Winters business, might suggest
trade revival, the volume of mer
cEandise distributed would fall he
hlnd the total during the like period
of 1884. and that the end of the sea-
son would bring no prospects of re-
vival in the near future.
This forecast holds true at the pres
ent time-the close of the spring sea
son. The past week rev called no gain
in the distribution of merchandise in
any line, with possible exception
in favor of boots and shoes from Bos-
ton. Dry goods are as slow of move
ment and as unsatisfactory as to the
margin of profit as heretofore. The
sales of groceries and provisions have
not yet increased. The damage to
the winter-sOwn wheat, reported by
the Government toamount to a short
age of $4,000. 600 bushels as compared
with the crop of 1885, points to har-
vest of 400 ,OOO,0 600 bushels, quantity
equal to the harvest of 1888. Prices
OF wheat and flour have been I'M
steady under the varying ruDors as
TO the prospects of war abroad. In
accordance with the tenor of late re-
ports, the movement has been up-
ward. Hog products have been dull
and inactive. Speculation has been
light and purchases for export as linn.
tied as for grain.
Raw wool is in little better demand
ifany, Notwithstanding the improve
ment in the request for certain lines
OF wooden goods. The prospective
pressure Of the new clip prevents a
gain in prices. The War news eyer
els I'd a depressing influence on prices
of cotton, and middling upIands clos
ed higher. The movement of groce.
ry staples is still disappointing.
Coffee and tea are lower. Sugar adj
vanced on speculative buying. CAN
ned goods are weak. Dairy products
are lower and quiet. There were 1877
failures in the Uuited States and
thirty in Canada during the past
week.

A Battle with Stone Cutters.


LEMoNT, Ill. May About one
thousand striking quarrymen assem-
bled at the depot here this morning
with the intention of capturing the
militia, if they came. They after
wards went TO Walker & Singers
quarries and routed them. AT $3.50
four companies of militia and de-
tachment of battery &C" arrived
from Joliet with Gen. Vance and Col.
Bennett in command. They stopped
at the Excelsior quarry and one COM
pany deplOyed as skirmishers. The
other three companies are now
marched to the quarries where the
mob was congregated, The troops
were mere met in the edge of the
town by mob Of three or four hum
dred. Company B, of Joliet, and
Company G, of Bloomington, under
command of Colonel Bennett, formed
the front, and charged up the main
street with fixed bayonets. Company
A, of Streator, commanded by Capt.
St. Clair, with a detachment of Bat
terry G, of Joliet, formed the right on
a side street, and Company |, of OF
tawa. commanded by Capt. Blanch-
ard. formed on the left on a side
street, and the command, "Forward,
charge bayonets!" was given.
The mob, with wild hooting and
cheering, met the main front with
clubs and rocks. AS the troops adj
vanced steadily, the mob gave way
to the side of the street and hurled a
shower of rocks at them, and one fired
a shot. Colonel Bennett ordered
them to he dispersed, and a number
that refused to leave were prObed
with bayOnets. One mana Pole
named QuinkOw sky, was seriously
stabbed. Further up the street the
mob reformed and commenced hurl-
ing stones. A detachment sent to
dispense them fired a VoIley and the
rioters scattered. Two men named
Andrew Stler and John Quagra were
killed. The troops are now clearing
the streets, of the bowling women
and children. More trouble is APP
pretended. The troops will encamp
at Singers quarries. The militia dis
played cool bravery. 1t is reported
that woman and child were killed
A number of the soldiers were badly
hurt by the flying missiles.
The following official report from
Adjutant General Vance has been
sent to Gov. OgIesby. "Col. Bennett
removed his command, except one
company, from Joliet to Lemont, ar
irving at about 8 A. NJ, and forming
a line south of Lemont. Deputy

fARME COLUMN.



In fattening good, strong, vigorous
hogs, over year old, corn and water
make a good food. We do not cay there
is nothing better; but if we. lived in the
great corn-growing sections, we should
not look for anything cheaper and more
fattening.
In fattening younger pigs, however,
greater variety of food is desirable. We
want the pigs to grow and fatten at the
same time. For this purpose we need
a good breed, or a good grade of hogs.
We need warm, dry, comfortable
quarters, and plenty of good, easily
digested food. The best and most easily
digested food is milk. The slops from
the house. or the refuse from hotel,
including scraps of meat and fat, and
bread and vegetables, are proverbially
excellent. On the farm, any food we
do not know what else to do with, goes
to the pigs. This is right. But if we
want to fatLen the pigs, we must see
that they have some kind of grain, in
addition to such food as cabbage leaves,
bccts, mangels, sweet apples, small and
partially rotted potatoes, etc. The
secret of economical feeding consists in
giving the pigs all the grain they can eat,
without weakening their appetite for
the mixed and cheaper food and vege-
tables.
When corn is the principal food for
young fattening pigs, little bran, or
rather, what we call ''fine feed" is very
desirable. II the corn is fed whole, a
good plan is to mix the fine feed with the
water-saY pint to each gallon OF
water-and let the pigs have all they
will drink of it. If the pigs have all
the vegetables they will eat, they will
not drink much water, and more fine
feed, say quart to gallon of water
may be used. If the pigs do not take
to the fine feed and water, mix in 8
little corn-meal till they get in the habit
of drinking it.-Am. AgricultwriSt.

The South is rich in everything but
money. The people have too much
land; some persons who live IN poor
cabins and eat corn-bread and bacon the
year round, and part of the time are
short of these luXuries, own thousands.
of acres of land. With so much land,
only mere strips of bottom are cultivated,
and, as the saying goes here, a man can
get living by working two months in
the year. The next plentiful thing to
land is leisure. There is more leisure
taken by one farmer in the South than
by twenty farmers in the North and
West. Consequently, there is little
grown for sale, except tobacco and cot
ton, and little for use; for Western
bacon, Northern butter and -four, North
ern or Western clothing, hardware,
plows, wagons, and most of the other
necessaries of life, are brought in, and
money sent out in exchange. Whereas
pork, butter, flour, and all sorts Of
provisions, wool, fruit, and all sorts Of
timber manufactures, might be shipped
away in large quantities, or at least
made for home use, and the money kept
in the country which now goes out so
freely as to keep every one poor, and
compel them to live on credit.
Every day the railroads are bringing
in Western and Northern farmers by
scores, and these men are apt to see the
wealth hidden under the rough and un-
attractive surface of the country. They
see the rich soil, they enjoy the fine
climate; they don't see the yenomous
snakes, the bitterness of spirit, and the
preponderance of the negroes, which
foolish and untruthful persons have
said so much about falsely ;but if it were
not for a few physical features of the
country, the absence of good farming,
the poor houses, the scarcity of stock,
and the want of barns, they would not
know they were travelling so far from
home, and would find no difference
between the people here and their
nelghbors North or West. Scores Of
farmers in North Carolina have said to
me, we want your people to come here
and show us how to work; we want to
learn; we have plenty of room; there is
nothing to hinder;all the old differences
are gone; slavery is got rid of, and We
are glad of it; it is the greatest relief in
the world to have gotten rid of the care
of it, and we are far better. off as it is,
than with the old system of labor. A;
a rule, the negroes are good laborers
and with a good employer, who will
show them how to work, and will pay
them regularly, they can be made fal
better than they are. HENRY STEWART
