Deliveries were light, as there had been
very little business in February wheat. On
the curb there was some strength, which gave
way on the opening to lower prices. The
feeling was very generally bearsh on the
theory of legitimate value, but dealers were
so generally distrustful of what may be done
by the longs for May, and operations were
small There was good demand at the
market, but sellers were generally about Ac
above it. The opening on the curb was
S1.03Mc bid with very. little wheat offered,
but declined later to Sl.03 at the regular
opening. and later to 81 0e34. These were
bidding prices, but the offerings were small,
while the demand WAS good, and it
market To fill buying orders some
thing above had to be paid, owing
to the scarcity of sellers, Chicago market was
mostly ''pegged'' at about 97c, and seemed
about as void of feature as this. Estimates of
the visible decrease were made at about
1000, 900 blu for the week. The market
closed firm and higher. Receipts here lacked
1 car of being an even 100, and the usual
spread was put on the sample tables. Buy
ers were very shy, however, and up to II
O'Clock scarcely car of milling wheat had
been sold. Sellers were endeayoring to get
yesterdays prices for the best samples. but
those who were anxious to dispose Of their
grain were finally forced to accept lower
range of prices. Speculative markets were
so dull that they eXerted little influence.
Shipments were 40 cars for the day. Duluth

FARM NOTES.
Hints and Facts That May Be of
Value to TilIers of the Soil.

Dairy farming furnishes a constant
source of income, says Ralph Allen. 1t
enriches the land more rapidly than
any other branch OF animal huSbandry
1t may be carried on with small CAPT
tai without danger of being smothered
by larger establishments. 1t is profita-
BILE on high-priced lands, where other
cattle would not more than make good
reut. In short, dairy farming. like
every other branch of agriculture, has
advantages peculiar to itself, which
make it in many places and under
many circumstances desirable and re-
muneratiye employment.
There is bill for herd law before
the Colorado legislature. The North
western Live Stock journal, represent
ing the free ranchmen, furiously OPP
poses the herd law as follows: mo

of settlement has ever yet grown we'll
TODD on herd law. and the adoption of
such measure damns country to pov-
erty, unthrift, starvation and misery,
while it holds, and its effects reach GEAR
back to wife'S people in the older states.
The measure is an unmitigated vii
lainy."
An important convention was called
to meet in the court in Kingston, Ont,
on the 4th inst. ito devise some means
whereby the life and home of the far
mer may be made more attractive and
cheerful, and by such means to keep
their sons at home and prevent them
from rushing to the city, where starva-
ton wages are only to be obtained"
The best known farmers and economists
were named to address the meeting.
We have been unable to find any report
of what was said.
In Germany the dairyman's daughter
takes part in almost everything that a

Must Be Good Eater.

A dairy cow that is not hearty eater
is poor piece of property, and she
won't pay for what she does eat. And
yet there are some false economists who
believe that the, ''easy kept cow is the
most profitable, because the feed bills
are less. In this the COW may be com
pared with the steam engine, to produce
the required pressure of steam, GER
tain amount of fuel is necessary, and
without this the whole is wasted. The
COW is a machine for converting food
into milk, and the profits from her work
are in proportion to her digestive and
assimilaling poWels. Something cannot
come out of nothing.

General Dissatisfaction With the
State of Business, Collections
Being Slow.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1-R. e. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade: Dissatisfaction
with the state of trade is increasing. and
there is general complaint as to collections.
But increasing confidence in the new agree
ment of railroad presidents tends to support
better prices for securities Swelled by
speculation in stocks and in products, the
clearings through the banks show much
larger volume of business in January than
for the same month last year. and for the
last week gain of III per cent at all cities,
and 1877 per cent outside of New York.
During the past week, the public has
bought, and stocks have advanced on
the average Sill per share. The causes
of improvement are. first, the general as
sent of railroads to the interstate agreement;
second, the closing of the South Pennsyl-
vania controversy; and, third. Investment
demand for bonds and the better class OF
stocks Wheat has declined lac for the
week, with sales here of %. 100000 bushels.
Fairy tales about stocks on hand are still
by heavy shipments from the farms. and
sales by farmers who grow tired of waiting
for SI.5O wheat. Corn and oats have stiff
ened fraction. Oil has risen S4e. with sales
here of $500, 900 barrels. The cotton mar
ket has not changed as to prices. Coffee is
only 1sc stronger, and sugar is unchanged,
with tea firm and in good demand at auction.
Prices for butter, cheese and eggs have been
depressed. and leather is said to be Flower
than at any other time for :thirty-fTe years"
The market for iron does not improve. Phil
adelphia reports sales of IL, 900 tons South
ern, and prices are about SIT for No. l,
against $3.50 for Northern. Bar iron is
more active, with prices not improved. Sales
of steel rails at Pittsburg are reported for
SIG, and an Eastern mill has sold for Chicago
delivery at $50. 60. equal to S27 at mill. Coal
is dull and the mines working short time.
Copper declined sharply, March selling at
Ice. Tin was weaker at S21 go for spot, and
