STOCKs-The Post says: 1.-THE prospect
for easy money is practically assured by
the Treasury movement next month for the
payment Of quarterly pensions due March
4. Union Pacific, st. Paul, burlington and
Rock Island, all are now from TO 23points
lower than on February q, 1890, and from
p TO 80 points below their high prices
made last May. Speculation seems more
disposed to take hold of them than the
majority Of other stocks, and in view Of the
improvement in earnings in January and
February there appears to be large mar
gin for advance in them
The situation in Wall street showed no
material change to-day, and the market
was checked by the reported shipment OF
gold and by the fact that the subsidy bills
were not yet passed. which reflection
caused halt in the speculation in Pacific
Mail. The market to-day gave evidence OF
good support in early trading, but heavy
sales of Pacific Mail uncovered some stop
orders and that stock was let Off
rapidly, which developed a more
aggressive temper IN the bearish traders
and Burlington was attacked with some
success and the advancing tendency IN ST.
Paul. the industrial and general list was
checked Dizziness became the most promi-
nent feature again, relieved only by spurts
of activity in the leading shares under the
selling of the bears. Prices went still
lower IN the afternoon, although the fiuc-
tuations in most cases were Insignificant.
The market finally closed dull and heavy,
at a shade under first prices except in Bur
lington, which was down ] : per cent. and

FEEDING EoR Ioos.

To keep a hen In good condition for
laying. sh. should never have a full
crop during the day. II Il not wrong
20 give a light meal of mixed food,
warm In the morning, In the trough, but
such meal should be only one-fourth the
quantity the hens require. They should
20 away from the trough unsatisfied
aud should then seek their food, deriy-
ing II grain BY grain, engaging la healthy
exercise la order to obtain u, and
In such circumstances the food Will he
passed Into the girsard sloNly, aud be
better diycsted. Gradually the hen Will
accumulate sufficient food to provide for
IN. nlsht, going on the roost With full
crop, where she can leisurely forward u
from the crop "a the gitfard. Feeding
soft food leads to many errors on the
part of the beginner, causing him To
