CATERPILLAR WORM AND BUTTERFLY.
OF the numerous remedies that have
been suggested and tried for the cabbage
worm since it first began to spread over
the country and to play havoc with our
cabbage fields, few, if any, have given en-
tire satisfaction. It is, however, safe to
say that the most satisfactory remedy
thus far discovered is in the use of pyre-
thrum. The general experience with this
insecticide is most favorable, and as high
authority as Professor Riley unhesitat-
ingly recommends it for all the different
worms affecting the leaves of our cabbage
plants.
Some have found hot water very effect
i've on a large scale. Living plants will
bear without injury, for a few seconds,
water hot enough to kill soft bodied in
sects. The water should be at the tenn
p~erature of about 100 dogs. when it
reaches the plants. 1t will cool somewhat
during application, and allowance should
be made for this. The p%yrethrum is,
however, advised, and there is no reason
why every farmer should not use it, for it
or buhach, which is practically the same,
is now very generally for sale throughout
the country.

markets were as near featureless this morning
rs they ever get. Wheat opened steady at
about yesterdays closing range, and there
was good general buying. Cables were
strong and the domestic situation seemed to
justify the anticipations of Improvement
a change in sentiment occurred, however,
and prices worked down 14@$sc, July going
TO 437Sc, August 10 1880, and December 10
725sc Trade was of fair volume but without
Significance as indicating a settled drift or
tendency The market is yet narrow and
bulls timid. Receipts of corn wefe 236
cars; July sold down early to AZ Ssc, and Au-
gust to 4Sl4c less of Ssc as compared with
yesterday. Provisions were steady, the early
range being Sl3. 6212@l367l2 for August
pork, SS.l212GlS.15 for August lard, and
S7.55 for August ribs. Corn was barely
steady at the early decline, until word was
passed around that considerable stuff had
been worked for export. A rally or
$50 occurred. The close was not strong,
though it was more nervous than
weak The feeling prevails that
the market is oyersold largely, and is liable
to Il sudden and extensive reaction and ad-
vance. Estimated receipts for to morrow,

developed the fact that there was a large
short interest i'll pork, and larger long inter

trade had calculated on. There was plenty

business at the stock exchange continues to

dealing is that the market remains firm to
strong. The traders who have the making of
quotations almost entirely in their own

afraid TO put out any further lines of shorts
and the limited offerings of stocks renders
the covering of outstanding short contracts
Il difficult matter and it is stated that at
even a small block of stock To-day's
market was very tame at the opening,
though prices rs compared with last
nights figures were generally higher. The
restraining order obtained by some of the
roads against the Iowa commissioners gave
a strong tone to the grangers, Northwestern
showing gain of Sc per cent Further gains
of fractional amounts were established in the
early trading. the grangers, Readin g and

helped by the announcement that an effort
would be made Monday to get the funding
bill before the house, and that President
Adams had gone to Washington to use his in
fluence to that end. The NanderbiltS after
wards became prominent, and though there
were numerous kilograms from the West in

missioner Blanchard seemed to have neu-
tralizing effect upon them. The constantly
improving earnings of the Northern Pacific
stimulated buying in those stocks to-day, and
Oregon improvement scored gain of over
per cent New England came more into
prominence later in the day and the upward
movement and was continued without a set
back during the entire day, though the eX-
tremely limited business done prevented any
marked movement in the general list The
close was very firm, however, though in
