Secretary Wilson believes in a foreign market for American horses, and is en- couraging their exportation.
 Florida strawberries arrived in Boston market Dec 27, coming by express. They were in good condition, and sold at 75 cents per quart.
 He is truly a hungler who every time he goes to his badly located piggery with a pail of slop must climb into the pen to adjust the loose trough, which is rooted about at will.
 Little things in agriculture represent the difference between profit and loss-a few more bushels of grain an acre, little heavier yield of butter a COW. little faster gain in the fattening cattle. Proper care will procure all these.
 Many farmers complain of their milk and cream having bitter taste at times. This is most frequently the case near the end of the winter, and when the COW is well along toward her time for coming fresh or at least drying off before calving. and Is some times ascribed to the fact that she has been in milk too long, or was too near to ealving.
 The American Horse Meat company, of New Jersey. has license to carry on the business of making tenderloins pickled side ribs of horse and plain salt horse, all of it strictly for export. At least the com pany has given bonds to sell none of it's products for consumption in America. The "Ohio Farmer says that most farm CTS and dairymen, in breeding over hard times do not think to compare their situ- ation with that of town laborers and men depending upon usually good trades for a livihood. If they did make a thorough in vestigation and careful comparison, nine out of ten husbandmen would consider them seleves very fortunate and take renewed courage for the future.

 W. T. Harmon, living on the Days Mill turnpike, near Triton, has in use very curious but convenient hog pen, says the Flemingsburg Gazette. The pen is nothing moro than a huge sycamore tree which is hollow, and furnishes sleeping quarters for at least twenty large-sized porkers. The tree has been used for it's present purpose for over ten years, and during that time over 1000 hogs have been raised in it. F There seems to be curious law in agri- culture, whose cause is not understood which again and again brings three success siye lean years in the worlds production of wheat. Such coincidences are scattered throughout the agricultural history of the century. The world has now had two 'short years''-in 1896 and 1897. It will be in teresting to observe whether 1898 is to be added, to confirm the three-year rule.

New York, Jan. 10.-Evening Posts Lon don financial cabegram:
 The stock markets here were irregular today and with a less assured tone.
 Americans relapsed on a New York cable to the London Times predicting a silver majority in the next house, etc., which, while regarded as too pessmistic, is none the less likely to disturb the public here as reviving the silver scare. The reaction would have been more severe but for the continental support and arbitrage houses covering shorts. New York also absorbed stocks freely

Chicago Live Stock

Chicago, Jan. 10.-There was an active demand for cattle today and prices were steady for the great bulk of offerings and strong for choice lots
 Sales were at $3.SO@i25 for common to fair dressed beef steers, up to $5.00q5.4O for choice to fancy shipping cattle.
 Despite the unusually big supply of hogs ihere was such active demand that the prices ruled stronger and mostly 5c higher, bulk of the sales being $S.571aQ365
 Extremely heavy receipts of sheep and lambs caused some decline in prices, but there was such a good demand for choice flocks that such kinds did not weaken as much as might have been expected. Sheep sold anywhere from $2.75@3.50 for the poorer kinds to ,i,25Q4.50 for good to choice

Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. Notwithstanding en- ormous receipts and the determination of cotton operatives in New Bedford, Mass, to go on strike, prices again showed re- markable steadiness today. Liverpool was unchanged and our market opened one to three points lower. The volume of receipts both at the ports and interior towns was so great that ordinarily a good decline would have been justified. A big demand for August on the basis of six cents, how ever, consumed the offerings and there was no decline of consequence. May opened at 5.91, eased to 5.SS and closed at that figure, with the tone of the market quiet and steady. The long interest that has been steadily accommodating must be now very large and'unless receipts fall off materially we fear the market cannot be sustained.

Tn " all Street.

New York; Jan. 10-There was kalting in the bull movement in the stock exchange today, the upward move of prices meeting with obstacles. The buoyancy manifested by some special stocks was not sufficient to overcome the general tendency entirely, and prices as a rule are somewhat lower. There was some pressure to sell for London ac- count, and prices in Americans were lower in London before the opening here. There was a disposition reported from that center to take an unfavorable view of the future of values in this country. There was also some selling to realize in continuation or Saturdays profit taking. The readiness or traders to realize gave weight to the opin- ion of some of the professionals that the technical. conditions were not good at pres ent for prolonged rise The opinion is based on belief that large lines of stocks are already in the hands of spectators awaiting rise. These holdings, it is ar gued, might be dislodged by a slight re- action, and passed to the hands of large combined interests. Doubtless the fear of some such manoeuvers caused some of the smaller operators to pause in their buying today. It also gave confidence to the bears, who sold some of the leading stocks quite aggressively. The market was, however, dull as compared with the latter part of last week. The recent activity of Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling, one of the few Ohio coal roads, to escape default on its obli- gations, was extended today to Hooking Valley and Wheeling and Lake Erie The common stock of the former rose over a point and the preferred over points. Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks also ad- uancad materially. bl1t r11oyad in, <.,,ifa n Y, cratic manner. Tennessee Coal was strong, apparently in sympathy with this group

<. New York, Jan. 10.-The tremendous re- ceipts of cotton this week promises to ex- ceed the movement of large crop record years by about 5o per cent. and weak Eng fish cables caused our market to open bare ly steady at a. decline of 1Q3 points. The weakness of the situation was increased by claims that New Bedford cotton opera tives were threatening to strike unless wages were restored Jan. IT. another ele- ment of weakness was persistent hammer ing by parties operating for a well known Philadelphia house, who used August op- tion as sort of battering ram, but with out much success, as prices at the lowest showed a loss of 3Q5 points During the afternoon the market developed consider able irregularity, with weak general un- dertone, following liquidation and increased activity on the part of the bear contingent. The close was quiet and steady.
