Sir Charles then explained matters as well
as he could. That morning one of the maids
had noticed that the window into Lady

ladyship's absence the room was kept locked,
Sir Charles himself having the key, he was

it was seen that robbers had been there. The

fragments of jewel boxes
As Tommy was looking into one of the
dressing table drawers a little piece of paper
his attention. Noticing his name
inscribed upon it, he took it up, and, opening
it, read as follows:

There is brisk demand for choice butter,
and mediums are in good demand; packing
stock is also in good demand at quotations.
Take it all around, the market is in excellent
condition for the sale of all kinds of butter
at quotations. The high price and scarcity
OF fancy helps make the sale of next grades
greatly. Market we'll stocked with tomatoes,
and prices easy. Other stuff in good supply
with about demand enough to close up
readily. Mutton market quiet and steady.
Spring lambs are in light supply. Mutton in
large supply and meeting with slow sale.

Produce Exchange.

In regard to butter nothing new can be
said. There is still a good demand for all
choice qualities, and the market continues
to be well cleaned up. 1t is regarded as an
exceedingly good time for all holders to
hurry forward their stocks from the interior.
Eggs continue steady and very firm. Poultry
is rather plenty and a little inclined to be
dull as there is considerable game coming in.
which to some extent takes the place of
poultry. Choice stocks of apples, such as
red stand apples, are very scarce indeed, and
of course, are in good demand. Berries are
about out of market.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Wheat sold at the
highest price of the day few minutes
after the opening, when December
touched s1.O5% and May S1.09sl. These
prices were exactly 1c over the close
last night. The market started with
much force and activity at about &c
over last night at S1.05 for December;
and. while the small shorts were being
run in, and the bull houses were bid
bind for wheat, it had every appearance
of good bull market. There was
some reason for the early action, too
The cables came firm and slightly
higher on unfavorable weather abroad.
The weather chart confirmed the dis
patches from the Northwest saying that
all the spring wheat states were del
uged with rains; that all stacking and
threshing were stopped, and that dam
age must follow. While receipts here
were a few cars over the estimate, the
movement of both spring and winter
wheat markets was small enough to be
bull argument. The crowd was bullish
while this little advance was going on,
but when it stopped because of free
CS1iih6 Va iOhS hliOoI w OlOOhis DlOo-
seau, Tuttle and Stauffer. followed by
others, there was change of sentiment.
With many of the shorts out of the way
offerings were not taken except at con-
ceSSiOns.' Prices started down almost
as quickly as they advanced. and long
before noon the December future was
back to the closing price of yesterday
at s1.04$4. About midday further de-
cline set in, led by selling through
Irwin, Green & Co., Milmine-Bodman,
Baldwin and Farnum and others, fol-
lowed by the crowd. By this time bear
ish cables announcing clearing weather
abroad, lower closing Liverpool prices
and dispatches giving a liberal esti-
mate ON the Minnesota crop all helped
along the selling. There were no ex-
port clearances at either New York or
Baltimore. On this late decline prices
went off quite sharply to s1.0315 Deem
Der and s1.071a May before 1 o'clock.
This put prices nc under the close
yesterday and 2Ic off from the top
prices of the morning. The wheat mar
ket did not make any recovery from
bottom prices. Last prices were: Sep
TENDER, s1.01; December, s1.0315; May,
$1.07H. There was too much long
wheat coming out all day on bull news
to expect any rally. Puts on December
wheat sold on the curb at S1.O2I and
calls at S1.o45s. Corn was active at
lower range of prices. The good
weather and improved crop reports were
bearish factors. Oats failed to show
much animation, and prices did not
change very much. There was fair
amount of activity in the hog product
deal, and the market for the most part
strong. with the packers, as usual, sell
ers on the bulge. The frmness was as
cribed to the improvement in price of
hogs reported from the stockyards.

part of the effects of the collapse among
the granger stocks generally in the first
half of 1878. The Improbable part of
the Rock Island system, and that which
is depressing its stock now, is its ex-
tensions beyond the Missouri river, and
especially the 1,74S miles of the owned
and leased lines of the Chicago, Kansas
q Nebraska, of which nearly the whole
mileage is in the over built state of Kan
sas. This road was entirely built dur
ing the great rush of all the granger
roads to secure territoryin Kansas and
Colorado. 1t was begun in the autumn
OF 1856 and completed to about its pres
emit dimensions by the middle of 1sSs.
OF the 1877, 687. 900 of the stock $25, 10000

is of no value as yet, because the road

GROWING PIGS.
Experience of Prof Hany, of the
Wisconsin Station.

Having grown strong, muscular
frame for his pigs, the time comes when
the farmer must separate the breeding
stock from the remainder of the herd
and give it different treatment. Breeding
stock should be kept out OF doors, on
pasture as much as possible, and given
every attention toward keeping the ami
mails natural and healthy. The final
purpose for which hogs for the market
are intedded must direct the way in
which they a.e handled. With a we'll
grown carcass of one hundred pounds
for basis hogs which are intended for
the general market can be fed almost
exclusively on grain, adding little
ground oats, shorts. skim milk, or other
protein food. AS far as possible, how
ever, in these times of low prices, hogs
should be grown on pasture, and grain
used only to ripens up the animals. On
our Western farm land is the cheapest
and labor is the dearest thing we have.
The hog that runs in clover field or
blue grass pasture waits on himself. and
makes healthy growth, if not very
fast one. The growth is usually more
profitable than that made from entire
grain feed. Usually part ration of
grain can be profitably fed to grazing
hogs to hasten their growth.
Where the general market is the des-
tination one cannot be over particular
about the pork product, but must man
age 1t at all points in the very cheapest
way. Hogs fed to produce large per-
ceDtage of lean meat must, to be profit
able, sell for at least 20 per cent more
than current prices. A discriminating
market will soon pay the difference.
Every animal requires certain amount
of food for its maintenance. The hog
is no exception, and in feeding we
should remember he will attend to his
own bodily wants first of all, and only
lay on flesh afterward. With his won
derful appetite and immense digestive
powers it is the height of folly to keep
a hog on part rations. 1t is not the salts
fed, quiet hog that brings money to the
owner. The best gains come from hogs
SO anxious at meal time for their feed
that they show their greedy appetite by
squealing. l do not believe in the prac-
tice of keeping feed before the hogs at
all times.
