If for any cause the gradual accumulation
or the usual winter stores OF preserved
fruit has not been made. there is stu time
to make amends. The late fruit is still
available, and for the winter stock one may
do very we'll now.
Ounces. pears, grapes and apples. among
our Northern fruit are abundant through
the fall and these alone, in various forms,
can be made to produce brave show on
and ounces make very fine jelly, and the
two combine TO good advantage. On the
farm it is worth while to try number of
kinds of apples, making a glass or two
from each to test the variety The excel
lence of the Astrachan for this purpose has
been pointed out in these columns, but many
other fall and winter apples make delicious
jelly. Red apples give the finest color, and
need only be wiped and boiled without par
ing-core and skin are both of value; slice
two or three times for quicker cooking, add
very little water and strain through bag
with only very gentle pressure. If the juice
is obtained In this way, equal quantities OF
delicate jelly
Ounce Jelly. is made in the same man
ner. But If 1t is necessary to economize
the fruit more strictly the stems and cores
must be boiled separately, and the pulp,
from which most Of the juice has been
drained, will make very fair marmalade
still For this purpose add four pounds of
sugar to seven OF fruit and boil thoroughly.
daT the A ggncfS tsr of
tart apple If an increase of quantity with
out loss Of quality is wanted. OF course,
the proportion of sugar is to the whole
quantity of fruit
Various gleanings from the garden or
field, such as unripe watermelons, citron
melons, green tomatoes anc the like. will
help I'm eking out any lack at this late day.
For these and similar material rich
syrup must be made and favored by the use
of lemons. ginger or cinnamon. The al
lowance of sugar should be nearly pound
for pound. Any hard fruit like green to-
matoes should be first sliced and boiled with
O little water until easily pierced by a
straw. Then simmer slowly in the syrup
until an almost transparent clearness in
dicates that the cooking has reached its
perfection. Take up the fruit with a skim
mer and pour the syrup over IL. Precise
directions for preserving can never be re-
lied upon, as the time required depends
upon so many varying circumstances-th,
condition of the fruit size OF the pan or
kettle used, and the degree OF heat Skill
and judgment will never cease To be in
requsition, but they will come with prac-
tice.
Apples and oranges preserved together
make a choice dish of preserves ito set be-
fore king" So that even If the store
closet is empty when the frost comes, we
need not despair. Even in midwiEter we
may rise to the emergency.

GRAIN WEAKER AGAIN
Both Corn and Wheat Lost a Cent
During Saturdays Business.
Increase in the Visible Hurt Wheat, and
disposition to Sell Knocked Out
COrn-PrOvisiOns Firm.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-To-day's markets
were narrow, but the heavy feeling in
grain continued. In wheat the prospect OF
an increase in the visible the light exports
and liberal primary receipts tended to de-
press prices. Evening up was the order,
on account of the holiday Monday and the
government report Tuesday. Wheat and
corn each closed about 1c under yester-
days resting quotations. Provisions were
firm, and closed 5@15c higher. Wheat
started 1s6I4c lower, recovered slightly and
fuctuated within sc range. The export
clearances from both coasts, of wheat and
flour, were about 100000 bushels small
er, and from the Atlantic seaboard and
gulf ports were about 100000 bushels less
of wheat than the preceding week The
receipts in the Northwest were larger, and
at primary markets for the week were lit
tie in excess OF the preceding week. and an
increase from a million to two million BUSH
els in the visible supply is expected against
an Increase of 900 bushels the CORE
spending week year ago. In corn, more
disposition, was manifested to sell futures
and buy the May early. Later the reverse
conditions prevailed. Local bulls seem to
have lost courage, and many operators who
were recently long good-sized lines have un-
loaded and are expecting further declines.
On any indication of weakness they aid the
DECLINE by selling freely. Some of the larger

were inclined to take profits.
There was a fair trade in May oats, but
the other months were slow. The close was
steady for October. but 1s914c lower for the
other months.
The provision trade is very slow, at
tracing outside Speculation. Orders to-
day were for the most part to buy for JAN

during the entire session, but prices got
their main lift in the last five minutes.
Compared with closing prices yesterday,

SUMNER AND LINCOLN.
How the Great President Modified
the Senator mt Times.

Washington Letter In New York Sun.
No member of the present. United States
Senate answers more nearly to Charles
his relations to Sumner than Charles
Hill, though the points of similarity In
Sumner and Hill are very remote. 1t fire,
quently happened that Mr. Lincoln had
reason for feeling displeased with the Mas
sachusetts Senator but they never quar-
vented a. rupture. Lincoln would not have
1T. Not infrequently, when the provocation
was greatest, the great President would
see that such a thing did not happen. On
more than one occasion he started out
from the White House, his mind almost
overburdened with concern, summers course
to him, being among the principal causes:
Entering the Senator's quarters the wearied
President would say: Sumner, / have
and and ' cup Of tea. sumner r prided him HIM
cup Of tea. and was always pre-
came IT want ant the tea first first. ct It
SO cheers me, and It seems there is none
like that you make" The Senator, touched
In weak spot, would prepare the excel
lent beverage, and then Lincoln would ask
his advice about some matters, regarding
which he felt the need of none, but it served
patiate on the subject started and LINCOLN
would be instructed and relieved. Then
would follow another cup of tea, probably
two, Sumner expatiating on the best way to
make it, Most likely Mr.. Lincoln would
then take his hat as If to leave. but re-
Numbering, seemingly, the matter which
which disagreeable difference on Sumner S
part had been reported to him, he would
draw out the Modified Senator, and In the
discussion which followed-Lincoln standing
as if the matter was only something incl
dental-the two were brought near together,
Sumner being brought far more nearly to
Lincoln than Lincoln to Sumner In the
end the ground for an understanding was
found, an agreement speedily followed, and
I'm this way the two continued to be friends
by the use of tact on the part of one to
which the other, by having the singular
qualities of his character brought into
action by master hand readily yielded.

A Time to Plant Trees.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
This Is a good time to plant those trees
and small fruits which you intended to
put out last spring, but for some reason
did not. This is the very best season for
such work for the reason, IL for no other,
that II you do IL now IL is done, and II you
put 1t off again it may never be done. Be
fore placing your order for the stock look
about and see If there Is anything in the
fruit lire your local market is short of, and
then plant with a view OF supplying that
demand. No matter how good fruit re-
gion you may be in you will almost al
ways find some item neglected, and that
VIII be your opportunity. For one thing
Few markets are we'll supplied with cur
rants as they should be, and this is one
OF the most profitable OF the small fruits
Another good point in favor of growing
them is that they come quickly into bear
ing, so that you do not have 10 wait long
for return for your labor Peaches are a
profitable crop. even il you do not succeed
in getting yield more than one year In
three, and the farther north you are with
in such limits they Will grow, the more
profit will you find in them. Do not make
the mistake OF going into the same thing all
your neighbours are producing already, for
this makes a surplus for your market. and
will have To go far afield for buyers thus
lesseninS your chance for good returns.
The single crop idea is bad thing for
any region TO get hold OF, whether in grain
or fruit growing.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Hardly Up to Expectations
Values steady and Firm.

While on two days of the past week
trade was quite active, taking the six days
as whole 1t was not UP to expectations
There is drag to business in most lines
which seems hard to overcome. The steady
tone to prices and some Improvement in
collections has a favorable tendency Most
of the retail merchants are in better shape
financially than a year ago, as during the
depressed times they have kept close to
the shore and collected more promptly than
usual. 1t is also noticeable that they con-
tinue buying goods more on the hand-to-
mouth style. The dry-goods men have ex-
perlenced n fair trade. but to sell goods
they must make some concessions OF prices.
GrocerS are having about their usual vol
unie OF trade The commission men are
complaining that they are just beginning
TO feel the depression in business in the
natural-gaS territory, which draws its sup
plies of fruits and vegetables from Indian
apois commission houses. IL is stated that
the shipments TO this territory are 80 per
per cent. below the corresponding period
last year Receipts of poultry and eggs
demand The Hour market is fairly active
at the range Of prices of the last sixty days.
The hide market is more active. with prices
hrUer. Provisions are weaker.
The local grain market Is spasmodic in

active and prices stronger is followed by. a

prejudice to your other obligations,
then you are perfectly justified in
