The condition of the grain and feed market
was unchanged yesterday Two cars of oats
came in from Oregon, consigned to Lilly, Bo-
gardus Co. In explanation of the object of
shipping IN Oregon oats while there 10 an
abundance Of those raised on the Sound to be
had, L. F. Bogardus said that some people pre-
ferred the former because they were very bright
in color, and sound, though not as free from
dirt as those raised on the Sound. He said it
was very difficult now to find much of the latter
which was not colored more or less and some
what mouldy; and that the Oregon oats, costing
no Eore laid down here, it paid to handle some
of them.
reduction of per cent per pound was an
nounced in the price of Eastern butter, but
California butter remains unchanged. II is
probable the price OF Eastern produce will be
gradually put down until the California butter
is driven out entirely. Lettuce is quoted at so
cents per dozen; summer squash, 81 IS per box;
cucumbers, 81 per dozen; asparagus saG2.75 per
box.
Transcontinental freights on the Northern
Pacific railroad are improving, and the March

Culture Of Water Cress,

The water cress plant is aquatic in its
habit, and is grown in beds through
which water runs freely. The drains of
swamps made six feet wide and two feet
deep make the best ground for the crop.
If the bottom is sandy so much the bet
ter, but the muck makes bottom that
produces very good cress, but is not 81
clean. The seed is sown in July or later,
and should be fresh or it may not GER
inmate. The seed is quite small. and a
few ounces will SOW a large bed or
number of small beds. Or the beds NAV
be planted with cuttings from an old
bed, and these root very freely, If set in
the soil and covered up to half an inch
Of the top. The crop is cut early in the
spring, and By the use OF sash over the
beds winter crop may often be grown,
which sells at high prices. The cutting
is done with shears, taking about three
inches of the top, green stem and leaves.
1t is sold in long narrow baskets holding
about peck, usually at seventy-fve
cents the basket. ~ New York Times.

4 Horse with an Eye 10 Business.

There is an old, raw. boned, spawned
gray horse that stands over on Canal
street, near Randolph, every day, and
what he doesn't know about oats and the
express business it would not be worth
while for colt that contemplates haul
ing trunks at twenty-five cents haul to
bother about.
The corner Of the streets is a sort of
waiting place for expressmen, and
dozen wagons may be found in line there
daily. The wagon at the head of the.
line secures the first business that comes
in sight, and when it moves away, as
only express wagons can, the Others,
move up, the wagon that went off taking
a place on the end of the line when it
returns.
Yesterday the old gray horse vas.
fourth in line. The first wagon was.
hired, and the driver left his companions
who were, as usual, congregated on the
corner, and drove off. Horses Nos. 2 and
5 promptly moved up without having an,
informal invitation from their respective
owners. The old gray never moved. He
was quietly munching bis oats from tub
on the sidewalk. The horse behind him,
a ditapidated- looking bay, began to grow
restless and poked his head over the end
OF the old gray's wagon. After due con-
sideration he came to the conclusion the
old gray had no intention of moving
just then, and pulling out he passed him
at slow trot aud took the vacant place
ahead OF him. The others moved up in.
order. When the old gray finished his
MONDAY meal he looked about and saw
at a glance that something was wrong.
He probably discovered it before, but
preferred to eat his oats and settle the
matter afterwards. He lost no time in
pulling out of line, and soon he was
standing beside the old bay that took his
place. He commenced to, bite at him,
and tried to make him back, but it was
no use. He was bound not to be
cheated, however. and he quietly
marched along and took a place at the
head of the line. just then call came.
and the old gray started off with neigh
and his tail in the air, while the other
horses hung their heads in shame. Oh

The Nitrate Fields Of Chile.

The caliche, or raw nitrate OF soda.
not equally distributed over the pam
pas. The most abundant deposits are
situated on the slopes of the hills which
probably formed the shores Of the old
lagoons. An expert can tell from the
external appearance of the ground where
the richest deposits are likely to be
found. The caliche itself is not found
on the surface of the plain, but is COW
cred up by two layers. The uppermost,
known technically as chuca, is of q
friable nature, and consists of sand and
gypsum; while the lower-the costra-
is rocky conglomerate of clay, gravel
and fragments of felspar. The caliche
varies in thickness from few inches to
ten or twelve feet, and rests on soft
stratum of earth called cova.
The mode in which the callche is exca-
waited is as follows: A hole is bored
through the chucs, costra, and caliche
layers till the cova or soft earth is
reached below. 1t is then enlarged un-
til it is wide enough to admit of small
boy being let down, who scrapes away
the earth below the caliche so as to form
little hollow cup. Into this charge.
of gunpowder is introduced, and subse-
quently exploded. The caliche is then
separated by means of picks from the
everything costra and carried to the re-
fnery. Both in appearance and COM
position it varies very much. In color
it may be snow white, sulphur, lemon,
orange, violet, blue, and sometimes
brown, like raw sugar. -Blackwood's
