Experience with Barbed Wire Fence

Ten years ago, when l first began
building baroed wire fence" says J. NJ
Stahl, Il was almost afraid to use the
barbed wire. lgot the experience of more
than - score of farmers who had used
barbed wire quite extensively, and almost
without exception they contrsdicted the
narrowing stories published in the papers
of animals meeting a lingering death on
the cruel wires. At first, was careful
to drive the cattle and lead the horses
along each piece Of new wire fence, allow
ing them to nose ii. Now the animals
have become accustomed to wire fence.
| never had an animal injured on the
fence, l know Of but one animal in nv
neighborhood that has been injured
severely on barbed wire fence; and the
same night another colt belonging to the
same man jumped on the broken off stake
of a Virginia rail fence and disemboweled
itself

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
PROMISES OF BETTER TIMES.

MONDAY, Jan. j--P Ne
The new week opens at the Stock Exchange with
promises Of better times. The general bond mar
llet continues to develop growing and expansive
demand, while in the stock market there is a de-
cidedly better temper and tone exhibited than has
been witnessed for a long time. The growth Of
confidence in the situation and in values develops
slowly but it is marked and only less conspicuous
than the dare not of tie bear interest to add
further to its large outstanding contracts. That
all the time during the last sixty days there has
been no lack of confidence in certain quarters Is
established by the fact that all the efforts, aided
by exaggerated reports of the difficulties of the
Western railway situation, by the threats of a
monetary stringcncy before the new year, and H.
nally by the real importance of the Reading miners
strike and at times by free sales Of short stock
have failed to make any permanent depression in
values.
T0-days market did not reach the magnitude OF
a large market, but it was broader and developed
q more general interest than lately has been seen.
True the buying for the covering of shorts was
not an unimportant factor in the days dealings,
but it was only collateral of the situation. Last
Wednesdays sellers of ST. Paul mt II l2 - were
today's buyers of it ut 20 76 ga simply because
the logic of events had satisfied them that they
were wrong in their speculative ideas they ac-
cepted the loss accrued in this rather than run the
risk of u larger that may accrue by delay Prob
ably Mother the sales OF last Wednesday nor the
purchases Of to-day have materially changed the
actual holdings of the real stock; part OF the
phantom stock has been retired, AZ l.ss to It's
sellers and q profit to its buyers The whole mar
llet, however, ruled strong all day and finally
closed with more or less important advances, al
though not at the highest figures. Conspicuous
for advances were Louisville and Nashville, Norfolt
and Western preferred, Central of New-Jersey and
Western Union. The days tran 'aetIons amounted
10 254lS5 shares and at the close the tone was
strong.
AN EASY DAY IN THE BOND MARKET.
Government bonds were quiet and easy at quota
