There was more activity on the whole

least cause for complaint In prices there
were no changes calling for note. Sugars
are firm at the advance of Monday. The

Grape Jelly and Preserves.

For jelly select ripe grapes, free them
from stems and mash them thoroughly.
Cook them slowly in closely covered
kettle for 20 minutes without adding
water. Squeeze out the juice, add q
pound of sugar to each pint of juice
and boil for 20 minutes. Green grape
jelly is made in the same way. After
weighing the sugar heat it in an oven
previous to adding TO the juice.
For preserves free the fruit from
stems and skins, put it into the preserv
ing kettle and cook until the seeds are
loose. Strain the grapes, weigh with
their skins and to every pound allow a
pound of sugar. Put the fruit again
into the preserving kettle, and when it
begins to boil add the sugar and cook
slowly for half an hour or longer.
Spiced grapes are fine. To pounds
of grapes allow 3 pounds of sugar, a
pint of vinegar, tablespoonful of cloves
and one of cinnamon. Boil the pulps Of
the grape and strain; then add skins, vim
