WALL STREET SPECULATION
A Cheerful Feeling Prevails After the
Double Holiday
Foreign Interest In American Securities, Ad-
vance In Silver and Improving Bus
iness Take Bull Program
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
New YORK, Feb. 24.-The stock market
started in after the double holiday with a
cheerful sentiment ruling. Continued fav.
orable interest in our securities was dis
played by foreign dealers and an encour-
aging feature was the report Of fairly
large business by commission houses. The
steadily increasing gold reserve of the
treasury; ease in money, the evidence of
the desire of capitalists to employ idle
money, as reflected in the strength and
activity of the railroad market and SUBJ
stantial improvements in railroad earnings,
made up part of the bull programme, and
an advance in the price of silver bullion
certificates to the highest point since
October last also quickened the sentiment
in favor of her prices. The greatest
strength was displayed by the international
group. Rio Grande rose 2A; Atchison
preferred, 19s- Sugar held first place
among the industrials and on renewed
pool manipulation gained 13{ per cent to
1l7T. The upward movement was
checked at intervals by realizations, but
the offerings were we'll absorbed. The
market closed active and strong with
substantial gains in many shares
as q result of the days trading. The bond
market exhibited increased activity and
strength. The aggregate sales were $2,-
S92 900. Trading i'll government issues
was comparatively quiet, but values were
fairly we'll sustained in sales aggregating
1892 900. Silver certificates advanced
sharply today, $4,000 being dealt in at
69lt to 20, in response to higher London
quotation, and the resulting improved
commercial price here. The buoyaney of
silver was chiefly due to demand in Lon
don for shipment to India. The supply
has been depleted by the decreased p O.
duction and low price, which, on the other
hand, has increased the consumptive de-
mand for use in the articles.

The Days Transactions OF the Bo1rd OF
Trade
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Wheat benefited by
its rest from Friday to this morning, as
seen in the vigor and strength with which
it inaugurated the weeks business. May,
which was worth 6iKc to 6i5sc at the
close Friday, was in demand at the open
ing at from 65c to $3.50 and took but a
short exercise of it's recuperative euergies
to get the price UP to 652ac. The strength
was due to the advance of I'd on Saturday
at Liverpool and further td advance to-
day and to the fact that nearly every COM
lnissio n house having foreign connections
has buying orders at the opening. The
report from w ashington that the agricul-
tural bureau had advices from Argentine
confirming the reported poor crops there,
was also an important factor. But the
continental markets outside of Liverpool
were weaker, the amount of wheat and
flour on ocean passage increased l,12O,OO
bushels during the last week, and it is
runiored that the worlds shipments would
exceed 100000. All this gradually
changed the bull enthusiasm to feeling of
doubt and distrust, and there was reaiiz-
ing and liquidation, which affected prices
unfayorably, and the market lost sc. But
the final visible supply figures showing
900 bushels decrease, or over AGO..
900 more than generally expected, caus ed
some rally.
In corn the recent warm weather. which
is expected to have brought on bad coun-
try roads, helped corn.
Oats were quiet, but firm. influenced by
the strong sentiment in corn.
Trading in provisions was rather dull.
The opening was weak on the large hog
receipts, and though there was some rally
in sympathy with the strength of the grain
markets, no support was given and the
prices soon receded again.
The leading futures closed as follows:

Care Tor ihs. Animals Health.

There may be Instances where fore
ing processes can be applied to animals
with profit, but the average farmer
will find that his profit and the ami
mails good health are intimately CON
nected and that he will not have the
former without care for the latter.
Animals need certain amount Of ex-
ereise and it is dangerous to deprive
them or 1t. either for the sake Of hur-
rying their fattcning or to increase the
product obtained from them. In the
first bulletin issued this season under
the auspices Of the State board ofsagri-
cultural, Hon. Il. +. Briggs OF Auburn,
has the following sensible communica-
ton:
1T Is getting to be quite fashionable
in this vicinity to water cattle in the
barn. Some have tubs in their barns
and let the stock go to them for their
water, others carry water in pals to
their stock; and still others Of the
lazier type arrange for water in their
cattle managers, and let their stock
stand hitched from the time they come
to the barn in the fall until they go to
pasture in the spring. While the
former method will do. | think the lat
ter is decidedly wrong in more ways
than one. In the first place water that
stands in boxes or troughs, where cat
tie can get at it at all times is apt 10
become impure by the accumulation Of
dust and chan. And then again when
cattle have water continually be-
fore them they will be always
playing with it, keeping everything
near it wet ana slippery. having
tendency TO rot the managers and tim
bers of the barn. But, the worst of all.
in my opinion, is the practice of keep
ing the cattle confined so closely six or
seven months of the year. This may
answer for COWS from which farmers
are selling milk and are pushing them
to the utmost. expecting To wear out
The machine in three of four years at
most. and not wishing IT, raise calves
rom them. But for a dairy herd that
me desires 10 keep strong and healthy

better that water be provided them in
1 sheltered spot in the yard on the
sunny side Of the barn to be covered
by an open shed roof Cows that come
in in the fall and are flush in milk
should and will drink twice each day.
Cows dry or nearly 50 do not require
water but once each day. | would not
