The volume of traffic yesterday, beyond ques.
ton. in all departments. was the largest and
most satisfactory of any day in the present year
In fact for three days past there has been a good
deal doing, as is shown by the loaded down
platforms at the city freight depots The fine,
weather ia probably the prime cause and them
the firm tone to prices creates a confidence intt
making purchases which is not shown Wheel
prices are fuctuating daily. In the dry goods
market. especially. are prices firm and teady. A;
number of buyers were in yesterday and most;
orders were largs. Grocers are very busyr
Sugars are steady at quotations. Whole coffees
unsettled. The New York Bulletin says.
.Of course there is considerable amount Of
business doing the distributive outlet-the
deliveries show that-but matters remain in d
more or less uncertain and unsatisfactory CO ndi-

from considerable portion of the trade Both
buyers and selers are disturbed by the

ses-really prime stock-is steady in price,
Syrups in slow demand Low grades of stock,
however, are scarce. Rice is firm. and in good
demand. Teas are selling readily at full rates
Starch IS coming into better request The prod

are becoming scarce. Receipts of Irish potatoes
have been more liberal of late and prices are
firm, but the tendency to an advance has been
checked. Poultry and eggs steady at QUOTA

The Only Thief in Camp.

A pretty good yarn is told, in which
General James Morgan, of Illinois,
and new recruit were the principals.
General Morgan was noted for un-
tidiness of dress; in fact, he merited
the appellation of sloven, and went
about the camp looking very much
more like one of the transfers than an
officer of rank.
One day raw recruit went through
the camp inquiring for some books he
said some one had stolen from him.
One of the old veterans told him that
the only thief in camp was Jim Nor
gan, teamster, and that his tent was
down there by the blue flag. The raw
recruit went down to the tent, and,
poking his head in, exclaimed:
"Does Jim Morgan live here?"
eyes, sir, was the response; "that
is my name"
SWELL, want them books you stole
from me-" said the raw recruit.
81 know nothing of your books" said
General Morgan.
"It's lie!" exclaimed the raw re-
cruit. "The boys say you are the only
thief in camp. Give up them books
now, or will pound you into apple
Sass.
Though General Morgan experienced
some difficulty in convincing the raw
recruit that he was in command of the
brigade, he relished the joke. by ap.
pealing to member of his staff who
came in, he established his rank, when
the astonished recruit remarked:
"Well, hang me, if I'd ever taken
you for o Brigadier!"

Che shane or Pins.

There is a difference, writes Col. +. ID.
Curtis, TO the Rural Ne,c Yorker, in the
forms of pigs, even in a fixed breed. Some
will have a long body and some q short
one; some will be higher on the legs and
some lower; some will have longer snout
than others. The last feature is the least
important, although many persons make 1t
of the greatest consideration, while in fact
it is really the last thing to worry about.
If man is going TO keep hogs to please
his eve, he can fuss about an inch or SO of
snout as much as he pleases, and make it
q subject of great deal of talk and thought;
but if he is keeping hogs to make some-
thing out of them, and to help enrich his
farm, that is another thing. For my part,
I like good, strong, and moderately long
snout. 1t gives the hog the appearance of
business, something cunning, while the
little piggy, studied off noses looks as
though that pig was finished, and SO it ia,
so far as much growth is concerned.
Growth is what we want in pig. Without
it there is no profit. A pig with long
nos. generally has a long body. This is a
good point, but it must be the only con-
sideration in our selection of male. The
hams must be carefully viewed, and it
they are not we'll rounded out. and deep
down, the pig is lacking IN most val ua-
BILE part. The shoulders. too, should be
broad, and the back should be the same,
and we'll rounded, if We want lots of spare
rib. A fiat sided hog will make more mess
pork in proportion, and will lack In thick
ness along the lire. The legs should
always be short, and this feature denotes
an easy keeper. because such hog WILL

Cut up what soap may be needed and

Nothing "fulls" flannel SO badly as to rub

into this pour enough of the dissolved soap
to make rich suds, also some ammonia
o tablespoonful and half to ten or twelve
quarts of suds is fair proportion; stir this
end the soap into the hot water until it is
all thoroughly Incorporated; then put in
the tlanrels. Two or three articles are
enough to soak at one time. Press them
we'll under the water, but turn them, over
in tho suds occasionally while soaking.
Let them remain in the water until it is
cool enough to put the hands in without
discomfort.
While washing keep good quantity of
