CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE wheat market was
more active aud more interesting today than
Tor month. The day opened with most
determined effort on the part of Hutchinson
d Partridge combined to press prices down
by very heavy offerings. Just for few min.
ntes it looked as if they would drive every
thing before them. May wheat went off Ac
to 76ssc, and July to 755s@75&. But the
crowd had already sold out their long wheat
and very many were in good shape to buy
even in the face of the action of the two
heavy sellers. New York sent a flood of
buying orders to this market There was
good all round buying by local traders. The
buying was led by Milwaukee. There was a
good deal of buying which could not be To-
Gated. The wheat was absorbed wonder
fully fast. There was no decided news
at the opening, with public cables
bearish and private cables the same and pri-
vate news firm. About this time the bull
news began to help the buyers New York
cleared 135, 0IO bushels of wheat and flour
from three ports equaled 100000 bushels of
wheat. With this to help them, prices rallied
pretty near lzc, May selling up to 77A@
77$Sc. Still later Jones-Kennett joined the
selling forces, putting out 100000 bushels
for May and the price again touched 77c.
About. noon Logan d. Co. and others re-
ceiYed dispatches regarding cables on the
Russian crop. A government statement, it
was claimed, made the crop of wheat 49,
GOO, geo bushels short of last year and rye
16.0O0,O0O bushels short. At the same time
New York reported eleven boat loads of
fresh export business and the indica-
tons for colder weather increased.
There was popular buying move
ment in the pit for half an hour ana
before O'Clock the price of May was lifted
to 77a4c, with very confident and buoyant
feeling in the pit Wheat closed without any
signs of weakness at the top prices of the
day. Receipts were 81 cars winter wheat
% cars spring, 439 cars corn and 224 cars
oats. Withdrawals from store were 1854 bu
winter wheat, 1924 bu spring, 1882 bu
corn and 5000 bu oats The corn market,
like others, showed weakness early, and
Hutchinson was seller. The market took
an upturn with wheat, and on the upturn
shorts became buyersand the market made a
pretty fair advance, closing slightly higher.
The tactics in oats were the same as yester-
day. The clique wanted to let go bad, but
had to keep the market bolstered. There
was a sharp drop at the very start, OF which
May touched 7sc, with a rally to 214c.
Later they sold at 2lc, and were then bid up
TO 2ll2@2l5sc before the close to sell on.
The provision market was quiet compared
with grain markets, but firm and higher
Hutchinson was a free seller of pork and
Baldwin was buyer. This was the opposite
of yesterday. May pork sold at 81" and
S10.l2l2 closing at Sl0O7l2; June sold at
Sl0.12I2 and Sl0.15. There was no impOr-
tant business in other products.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

THE LAND SAVINGS BANK.
1t is an old maxim that the safest in
vestment is in land, for the reason that
land cannot be stolen or destroyed, re-
naming permanently as deposited
wealth until it passes into other hands.
But the land is also a receptacle for
more wealth, and locks up within itself
valuable material that may at some
time be converted into marketable
products. Every farmer who grows
crops, raises stock. and aims to
improve his farm, will, in the face of
all obstacles, store up in the soil, as
plant food, wealth that cannot be util
lied Immediately, but which in the
pendent position, and offer fourfold that
which it received by changing the I'M
saleable commodity of the farm into
forms by which it becomes articles of
demand. The fertility of the soil is the
treasure of tie farmer buried until he
digs for it at the proper time.
MANUFACTURE AT HOME.
Though nature is at work she requires
materials, and the farmer simply util-
ICES the forces at his command to change
the condition of materials and place
them in positions of advantage. The
source Of tn e farmers increase is the
manure. The manure heap is real
factory, chemical laboratory, in which
a portion of the products of the farm
are worked over and changed, and the
more perfect the work performed
in this laboratory the greater
the aid and assistance afforded the crops
during the growing season. The farmer
every year becomes weather. because
he is converting waste material into
plant food, which is added to the soil,
and whether droughts entail failure or
prices fall, his mine of wealth remains,
VIII Gil is itself a thing of value over and
above that which he may derive from
the sales of his produce in market.

DAIRY DOTS,

Collected From the Columns OF
the Massachusetts Ploughman.
Devon oxen are the handsomest in
the world. Devon cows are beauties,
also.
You can "harden" a COW or heifeF
by exposure, and it will also harden the
chances of profit from her.
An analysis of cows milk from differ
ent tests sometimes shows different re-
suits. This shows the infinity Of nat
ure's variations.
The rule for successful dairy feed
ing is to feed all that can be profitabiy
fed. But to know how much that is,
keep milk record and study the fig.
ureS.
Farming will never command much
respect as long as it is managed on this
plcayunish plan of starving the land,
its crops and the live stock. The best
hope of the farmer is in live stock, and
common sense demands the best pos
sIble care first.
A rich man can afford to be careless
in the management of his stock, but not
so the ordinary farmer. He should look
to every detail. for then only can he ex-
pect profit. A man who says he can't
afford to practice good business rules
dtlI uCSCINGS llIIlE pity
when he fails.
A farmer whose COWS and work horses
are poorer in the spring than in the fall
isn't much of a man, and of course not
much of farmer. If there is any neces-
sity for starving anything let that
farmer starve himself, and not his help
less animals. He will then know how
it feels.
A popular fallacy is that breeding
mare or cow soon to calve must not be
fed much. But why? The mother
needs food both for herself and the en-
bryo. An animal to do we'll should, in
general, be fed what the appetite de-
mands. That is the rule for human be-
lngs, and why isn't it good for stock?
When animals overeat it is because
their appetites are seldom satisfied.
How delighted most farmers would be
to own cow that would give pound
OF butter every day for year! But
such COWS are not difficult to find if
properly fed and cared for. And still
we can't induce one farmer in twenty.
perhaps not one in a hundred, to find
out what either his best or his poorest
COW is worth to him. But if he is keep
ing any COWS at loss what right has he
to complain of farming as business?

Special to the Glore-
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 14.-The wheat mar
ket to-day was first weak, then fairly strong,
with good trading. Duluth showed smallest
decline of all markets early. and when the
up-turn came there was not so great an adj
vance here. Towards noon there were re-
ports of 8 loads taken for export and later
considerable foreign buying was talked of.
Clearances from seaboard had marked in
fuence in Strengthening prices after IL
O'Clock, when other influences began TO work.
The chief cause of the later strength was the
fact that crowd at Chicago was heavily short
and began buying. The first sale of the day was
on curb at last nights prices, but the OPEN
ing was Isc lower at 1880 for May. This
was the ruling price for some time. After

Shortage i'm Wheat.

A short wheat crop is reported in the
Argentine Republic by Consul Baker,
of Buenos Ayres, who says in report
to the state department: 1.-THE last
grain crop Of the Argentine Republic
was destroyed by continuation of
heavy rains just previous to the
harvest, and in consequence not only
will there be but little for expectation,
but there may be scarcity before the
year is over to meet the home demand.
There is getting to be short supply Of
breadStuffS in the country, which will
probably have to be met by importa-
tons before the new crop comes
in, and the prices of wheat
and flour have gone up to such
figures that it will even now pay
to import cargoes from abroad. Two
weeks ago | heard of orders having
gone fol ward for wheat from New York
and Odessa. Last week ! heard of
charters of vessels to bring wheat from
California and Oregon. How la :ge the
deficit may be it is impossible to
say, for the reason that the agricult-
ural department of the Argentine Re-
public has never interested itself enough
IN such matters even to know the actual
breadth of land in cereal crops, or the
amount of the average crops raised.
Euen the amount required for the home
demand is quite matter of guesswork,
and about all that is known in reference
to crop is learned from the amount
which is exported. The fact of deficit
is argued only from the fact that the
price has gone up to such figures that it
will now pay to import the article from
abroad"
