WOOL.

BOSTON, December 27.-The Amer
lean Wool and Cotton Reporter will
say tomorrow:
The past week interrupted as it has
been by the holiday, has been naturally
a very quiet one in the wool trade.
Prices are steady and there are no weak
spots to be found as far as a very care
full canvass Of the situation reveals.
The few sales which have been made
have been generally at full prices.
The wool trade anticipate high range
of values for next year as may be in
dicated by the fact that attempts are
being made in several sections of the
west to contract for wool On the sleeps
back. Indications are that the entire
clip for next year will be contracted
for at an earlier date than was ever
known before. The sales of the week
in Boston amounted to 100000 pounds
domestic and 100000 pounds foreign,
making a total Of 2,350,000 against a
total of 3,36S,000 for the previous week,
and a total of 3,795,000 for the CORE
spending week last year. Sales since
January 1 1899, amount to BAT, 1857
pounds against 141,132,510 pounds last
year at this time.

being sold at 10 cents par bushel ana up
wards, one local joDbCr having Z sianc Eg
offsr to buy at the figure quoted. Hay is
very Scarce in this Immediate ne.ghbor-
hood and for that reason IS bringing fancy
prices. Loose hay Is quoted al sl2 ana $i3
a scarcity of hogs, and quotations have
advanced sharply. Cabbage is quoted
higher as the season advances. Butter
ard eggs are firm at present prices

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, December 27-The firm
ness Of Liverpool and the decrease in
the worlds visible came as a support to
the wheat market to-day, May closing
A@asc over yesterday. Corn closed
Nc and oats &c lower, provisions 100
171ac higher.
There was little animation in the
wheat pit to-day, but the tone Of the
market was firm. Liverpool was the
chief factor. That market showed an
advance over Friday and reached an
upward tendency in the price due large
ly to an increasing consumption and
the Russian, German and French re-
ports of a lack of snow protection
against the Geld weather. With this
array of information the bulls exhib-
tied some confidence in their position.
May opened B@Ac over yesterday at
693s@691ac. Shorts were moderate buy
ers and the market advanced early to
69%c, but eased off on selling against
calls to 69R@695sc. Trade was very
light, confined almost entirely to the
local professional field and around the
last given quotation the market chung
throughout the session, closing A@$c
over yesterday at 69k@695sc. Brad
streets decrease in the visible of 753,-
600 bushels was a steadying influence
late in the day. Atlantic port clear
ances in wheat and flour were equal to
24S,000 bushels, and the seaboard re-
ported Is loads taken for export. Pri-
mary receipts were 40S,60 bushels,
against S23,S0O last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 800 cars, compared
Local receipts were 1853 cars, 63 of con-
tract grade.
Corn was easier, influenced by lib
eral receipts-7G6 cars here-and talk
by the elevator people of freer country
offerings. The market was a small
one, with some changing from January
to May and scattered selling by longs
The contract stock (1,2S2,000 bushels)
increased $4,000 bushels. May ranged
from 32Ac to 33c, closing &c lower at
32%c.
There was enough selling of May
oats to drag the price off trifle. The
market was very quiet In the contract
stock (691,0OO bushels) there was
scarcely any change. Bradstreet's
showed a decrease of 100000 bushels.
Clearanees were $4,000 bushels and re-
ceipts here $50 cars. May sold from
235sc to 23% @237c, closing 1sc de-
pressed at 235sc.
Provisions were firm Influenced by
small receipts of hogs at the western
markets and firm prices at the yards.
There was some important buying of
lard, one firm alone taking 10000 tier
ces. Commission houses were also buy
ers, principally of pork and ribs for
May delivery. May pork sold from
S1037k to s10.55, closing at 10@12hc
over yesterday at s1o.471s; May lard
from $50 to 5.S2k@5.S5, and closed
10G121ac better at $3.50, and May ribs
from s5.45@5.471a to $3.50, with the
close 10@12kc over yesterday at
$5.521a.

Finance AND IRADE.

NEW YORK, December 27.-The
Commercial Advertisers London f.
nancial cablegram:
The markets here were better all
round to-day. The settlement showed
an open account under expec-
tations, and money was obtain
ed more easily than was thought
likely. The Scotch banks called
in loans but other banks lent
freely at 6k@7 per cent. The arrival
of E7S,000 American gold coin and
$4,000 in bars helped the general
cheerfulness, but there was not much
activity. Consols were up Is of a point
to SO.
Americans began apprehensive, fear
ing the banks would make the contin-
uation difficult, but finding these fears
unfounded, the market became
buoyant. New York followed suit
and the close was at the top
with substantial gains, somewhat
nominal however, as 1t was
thought that few determined sellers
could have broken the market. Union
Pacific securities were favorites on the
annual report. The contango rate was
S@S1a.
Spanish As were 63%. Considerable
Paris stock was continued in London
and the rate went to 10 per cent Tin
tos were 421s, Anacondas 11-16, Utahs
s, Avinos /, Boston q.
Money was in good demand and bills
were steady.

wentv Use. for Corr.

The Indian corn propaganda at the
Paris Exposition and the conventions
recently held in the West in the inter-
est Of corn producers have brought out
the fact that over twenty important
products are now manufactured from
corn. One Of the most important prod
ucts is distilled spirits, the demand for
which has increased greatly since the
invention Of smokeless powder, in the
manufacture Of which the spirits are
largely used. Among the other prod
acts made from corn are: Mixing glu-
cose, crystal glucose, grape sugar,
anhydrous grape sugar, special sugar,
pearl starch, powdered starch, refined
grits, fourine, dextrine, British gum,
granulated gum, gum paste, corn oil,
corn oil cake, rubber substitute, gluten
feed, chop feed, gluten meal and corn
germ. With the present economical
methods Of manufacture, not a particle
of the corn is wasted. There is no
refuse.

Pests of the Garden.


The conductors receive continually
some fungus, insect or weed that has
startled cultivators in some district.
The senders want to know its name, its
history, and what is to be done about it.
AS matter Of botanical or entomology
ical interest, 1t is profitable to know the
name or history-but as to what is to
be done about it the answer Is very SIM
pie, and can be told without any of the
more strictly scientific matters being
called In.
AS for the weed, no plant can live IL
not allowed to mature its early spring
leaves. The garden hoe or field cult
vator started early is a sure remedy
against even the most pestiferous. In
the case Of insects, all that chew can
be killed by a careful use Of paris green,
and all that suck, by having their
breathing pores clogged by kerosene
emulsion. AS for parasitic fungi, which
include mildews, molds, rusts and SIM
liar minute organisms, solutions of cop
per are effective against any or all.
Watchfulness to note the first appear
ance Of trouble Is an essential ingre-
dent in these recipes. They are Of lit
tie service after the damage has been
done.-Meehan's Monthly.
