NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The share spec
ulation to-day was unsettled in tone,
and the movement of prices very irTeg
ular. The large appropriations in values
of the past few days offered temptation
to realize good profits, which were taken
advantage of, and the bear element took
advantage of this selling to put out fresh
lines of shorts. There was no concerted
attack upon the market as a whole for
some shares were well supported and
moved upward.
The market was weak in the early
dealings, tobacco being pressed for
sale on report that the Attorney Gen
eral OF this State contemplated an &C
ton to declare the trust illegal. A slight
reaction occurred in the rest of the list.
Before long the leading Industrials came
into good buying. Sugar rose 1 4; to-
bacco made similar gain on the failure
to confirm the rumor of the Attorney
Generals proposed action.
In the second hour of business the
selling of tobacco was renewed and a
reaction of / per cent. ensued. The
general market also became weak, and
sagged off Sal per cent, the latter in
cordage guaranteed, and Erie telegraph.
Shortly after mid day the declining ten
dency was checked, but toward delivery
hour tobacco was again attacked and lost
3-4, and the general market became
irregular and, in the main, weak.
Trading in bonds was active, and
higher prices were established. The
speculative issues were absorbed freely,
particularly the Reading liens. The
aggregate sales were 81, 099, 900. clear

New YORK, Aug. 29.-The cotton
market opened irregular, the near months
showing a decline of 3a5 points and the
distant months an advance of 2a4 points.
For the rest of the session the changes
were frequent and violent with the
market finally steady at an advance of
13a17 points. The sensational fea
lures of yesterdays market were re-
peated to-day with intense interest
shown by outside spectators who,
to the contrary, were expected to
turn the market by liquidation, but in
stead of that, with rare exceptions, they
were again active buyers. The further
advance caused active covering by the
shorts. The news from Liverpool was
all that was to be expected. Southern
buying orders were heavy. The sub
stantial bull factor is the small move
ment at the ports and the predicted
small interior movement. The market
closed with nervous feeling. Late
cables report weak undertone to Liver
pool due to disappointing demand from
Manchester.

FARM FACTS.

A POUND of poultry can be grown as
cheaply as pound of any other meat
and always brings better price. Why
farmers do not eat more poultry and
less pork is one of the unsolved prob
lens.
The greater the quantity of seed
potatoes planted, the greater the yield,
says the Maryland station. potato
grower says it is also true that the
larger the piece the larger and earlier
the yield.
The proper mode of keeping rabbits
from II ees is to wrap piece Of screen
wire around each tree. This will cost
but small sum per tree and will
save a great deal of vexation and annoy
ance.
CALIFORNIA fruit growers are pro-
posing to ship fruit in tight cars filed
with carbonic acid gas. 1t is claimed
that this gas will preserve the fruit in
it's flavor and is an economy over cold
storage.
THERE is better health among rowing
fowls because they get the food which
is best for digestion, and get the neces-
sary grit to help the gizzard TO do it's
work. We should make this study
and profit by it.

NOTES FROM EUROPE.

GERMANY is making great prepara~

eightieth birthday, which occurs April
1, 1895.
THE canal connecting the Baltic with
the North sea, ffty-nine miles in length,
is now finished, except few minor de-

DURING 1894 twenty-three members of

revolutionary congress held recently at.
The Hague
OVER twenty thousand persons have
been set free from Russian prisons or
have had their sentences lightened by
the action of the new cars proclama-

will be dealt with as soon as their cases
can be examined.
In Manchester, England, the town
council is about to put $1,250,000 into
clearing the slums. An overcrowded
and unhealthy space of five acres in the

buildings torn down and new model
workmen's dwellings erected in their
stead, with large areas for play
grounds, and trees and flowers planted
in open spaces.
THE widest canal in the world is said
