CEREALS HAMMERED DOWN

TRADING AT CHICAGO.

Changes In Provisions Were Slight, All Grades
Holding About Level.
CHICAGO, May 20.-The weakness of
corn was the feature to-day. The July
futures closed with a loss for the day of lc.
Wheat was hammered by the bears, who
worked all the harder to knock it out on
account of little advance at the opening.
1t closed lac lower than on the day before.
Partridge and the Cudahy interest were
both against the price; the former on
general principles. and the latter. it was
thought, with view to having the wheat
put 20 them on about 100000 bushels of
those privileges sold by them yesterday
afternoon. Provisions were dull and
about steady. Wheat was about lac higher
at the opening than yesterdays closing.
then after slight changes be-
came weak and prices declined
1c. ruled quiet. and the closing was about
$50 lower than yesterday. Rumors of frost
in France and rather unfavorable crop re-
ports from parts of Russia. together with
larger ciearances from both coasts than
have been noticed for some weeks. created
q feeling of strength. but the weather was
warm and more fa vorable for the growing
crops IN this country. and there seemed TO
be quite q little disposition 10 realize at the
advanced prices.
Receivers of corn, as we'll as railroad off,
Gals. were talking of larger arrivals dur

conditions over the corn belt were about
| perfect the weather being mild
| and pleasant. The country was
| said to have sold freely, and
| parties having Southwestern conEec tions
| also disposed of good sized lots. Some
1 short lines were covered on the decline. the
market hating tor q while. the decline be-

prices followed. There was good buying OF

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Trade Lost Week Fairly Satisfactory, with
Prices Easier Many Articles.
The more summer-like weather helped
trade the latter part of the week. Grocers
report business considerably in excess of
the corresponding period last year. Dry
goods houses report trade fair and much
better than in the first part of May, but
prices are weak Hardware men are hav-
sng a brisk trade. At the commission
houses there is good deal of activity.
Old Irish potatoes advanced TO sl.1O per
bushel, while new potatoes are weak at 80
Dor busheL Onions and cabbages are in
good supply and prices are easy. The
packers say that eggs and poultry have
btruck steady market and the present
range of prices are likely TO rule for
Beveral days.
There was more activity to the local
grain market yesterday, both corn and

Late Cabbage.
American Farmer.

American Farmer.
The great mistake that most people make
in starting late cabbage is in sowing the
seed teo early. For early cabbage 1t Is well
to get the plants as soon as possible. and
usually it pays better TO buy the few
plants that q farmer wants than to bother
about sowing seed for them, but for late
cabbage the seed should not be sown
seed bed Is well prepared and the
seed sown at this time the plants
will be in good condition to transplant the
last of June or the LIST of July. and this is
plenty early enough TO set them ont. lt
pays to take some pains to get good pIants,
and the common custom OF burning n brush
pile and sowing the seeds in the ashes is
not tho best way to get them. Our plan Is
to prepare bed and get 1t ready for the
seeds early In the season, and as the weeds
start hoe IL over. and by The time
we are ready to SOW the seeds the weed
seeds near the surface have about all
terminated anGthe weeds killed off.
When ready to sow the seed the bed Is
marked off in shallow rows six inches
apart and the seed drilled in thinly and
covered by drawing garden rake lightly
lengthwlse of the rows. When the plants
come ND II is very easy to cultivate them.
apart they get TO be stocky and hardy be-
fore being transplanted and can be set out
almost any time. We have transplanted
half an acre grown In this way on bright
day IN juno, and although they were not
protected In any way, not per cent. OF
them refused TO grow.
Cabbage is gross feeder and the land
on which 1t grows cannot be zoo highly
fortified. nor can IL De cultivated too
often. Ii the ground Is thoroughly stirred
once a week there can hardly be failure

One of the most important points 70 be

Young animals are materially different
from that of the old. In the young animals

not contain these elements will necessari-

thrift and unprotltableness. These ele-
