NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, April 25.—The stock market-to-
day was more active and decidedly stronger
than at any time during tho past two weeks,
and while tho aggregate of business done was
not very large, the gaius at tho close are univer-.
sal and material. Tho statements of President
Hewitt of the Northwestern in regard to the
earliness'of crops in the west, and the harmony
existing among the members of the interstate
association, did much to bring western and
southwestern stocks to tho front, and Missouri
Pacific and Texas Pacific, which have lain al-
most dormant for some time advanced materi-
ally on a largely increased business. Almost
the entire list is highor to-night.
Oregon ImprcYement preferred rose 3^, Pull-
man 2. Louisville and Nashville 1%, Burlington
and Quincy and TexaB Pacific VA each. Lake
Shore, Erie preferred, Missouri Pacific, Rich-
mond and West Point, and Union Pacific-1 per
cent each, and others fractional amounts. Rail-
road bonds active, the business extended to a
very large number of issues. Salos of Texas
Pacific seconds $088,090, and the firsts $157,000.
Market firm to strong all the way out. Hous-
ton and Texas Becond receipts advanced 2 to 120.
Government bonds dull and firm. State bonds
dull and featureiess.

HUEBARD, PRICE & CO.'3 CI&CULAB.
New York, April 25.—[Special]—Hubbard,
Prico & Co. say: Notices were issued this morn-
ing for some 10,000 bales ofrTiotton by those who
have been carrying it for interest purposes, as
the difference had, decreased to a point that
made it no longer profitable, and they were
willing that others should be allowed to carry
the cotton. These nutioes at first excited a de-
pressing 4flfhience on prices, but it was soon
found that they were Doing stopped by one of
the leading houses, and the markot gathered
Btrength and closes firm at the best prices of the
day. This advance is doubtless due to the
strong southern markets, and also the pressure
to close open contracts before the holidays,
which the legislature of New York has offered
for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.

The value of tho south's live stock is now
$575,000,000, while in 1879 it was $391,400,000.
In 1830 there were forty cotton seed oil
miHa in the 3oaJh; now there are about 160,
with $13,000,000 invested.
The value of the south's agricultural
products for 1888 was about $S00,000,000,
against 4571,000,000 in 1879.
Tho product of grain rose from 451.074,030
bushels in 1880 to 026,305,000 bushels in 1887,
an increase of nearly 200,000,000 bushels.
Phosphate lands in South Carolina are
booming. Land that sold for £30 au acre
six mouths ago is now held at from $300 to
1300 an aero. Three tracts, averaging from
300 to 400 acres cJich, have been sold atprices
ranging from 160,000 to $70,000.
Mora meat, and better meat, and in a
shorter space of time can be produced from
poultry than from uny other source, and
the supply from poultry equals that of any
other class of live stock. It gives an oppor-
tunity to those of limited means, and the
profits are always large in proportion to the
capital invested.
The Wharton Independent says: The
crop prospects of the county eo far are not
flattering, though tho farmers have had set-
backs. It is said by those who know that
we are a month behind this year. The rain
we have been wishing and praying for came
on Wednesday last. This will set the soil
in the best condition for farming.
It. has become a modern fashion to laugh
at any person who has a fancy for whito-
wash of tha old-fashioned kind every
spring, and its use on the stems of fruit

trees and the atones which border roads and
paths about the house and garden and yards
provokes extreme hilarity from those per-
sonewhodo not know its uses and that it
dostroya moss and insects on th« trees,
cleans the bark aud helps tho growth of
healthy wood.
At the Iowa experiment station, in order
to obtain Improved varieties of fruits which
shall be hardy in that state, several
thousand successful crosses have been made,
mostly in apples, and abont 1000 seeds of
these crosses, representing nearly fifty
varieties, are nrtw preserved in damp sand
for planting tlie coming spring. Tho peo-
ple at the station, while not expecting that
all the crossed varieties will prove success-
ful, do believe that a much larger percent-
age will possess tho desired Hjuahty than
chance seedlings would produce. The }'oang
trees will ba carefully studied, and those
found sufficiently hardy and vigorous will
bo grafted on older stock to bring them
into bearing earlier.
At the New York agricultural station,
experiments made in growing tomatoes
without transplanting proved very success-
ful. Plants grown entirely in tho open
ground matured fruit in twenty-five days'
shorter time than those which wore cared
for in tho hot-bed the first two or threo
months of their existence. The result, ac-
cording to the report, is certainly striking,
and suggests that the check given to plants
at the time of transplanting may have been
nearly sufficient to overbalance all the time
gained by forcing. Expert cultivators say
that their earliest tomatoes come from self-
grown plants where tomatoes were raised
the previous year, and some of tho first
rotted on the ground.
Science says regarding the "loco weed"
and its poisonous properties, and its effects
on animals and men: In volume ix, p. 32,
we referred to a curious affection which ex-
ists among horses in northwestern Texas,
known as "grass staggers." which is caused
by eating the "loco weed," which gives rise
to the saving that the liorses are "locoad."
The Indians beliove that r.n insect is tho
cause of tho disease, but competent investi-
gators have failed to find any iusect life
upon the plant. In Idaho the same disease
is found, and is treated by amputation of
tho tails of tho affected animals. Francis H.
Snow of Lawrence, Kan., refers to observa-
tions which tend to support tbe idea that
insects are connected with the causation of
tho disease. Professor Sayre of tho -univer-
sity of Kansas was said to be making an ex-
haustive study of the loco problem. Dr.
Mary Gage Day of Wichita. Kim., has re-
cently maile-a number of experiments upon
healthy cats to test tho toxic qualities of
tho weed, and has communicated the result s
to thstNew York Medical Journal. In the
experimtrtts'of Dr. IJny a decoction of the
roots, leaves stf'rrrs of .the'phihts gath-
ered in September was used. The result of
feeding the decoction to a kitten was to pro-
duce ditirrhea, vomiting, convulsions, par-
alysis, and at the end of twenty days death.
After death ulcers were found in the stom-
ach and intestines. In another experiment
with a more concentrated decoction,
on a full grown cat, the symptoms were
much the ■same, the cat dying on the thir-
teenth day. Professor Vaughun of tho Uni-
versity of Michigan made experiments on
frogs and kittens, injecting the decoction
under the skin, producing death. With refer-
ence to the character of tho plants at differ-
ent seasons of the year, Dr. Day is convinced
by numerous experiments on material
gathered in different months, that the
grefttest amount of poison is present in the
autumn and winter, after the seeds havo
ripened, anil that tho explanation of the
ranchmen, that the "loco" disease is more
prevalent in the autumn and winter because
tbe animals eat more of the weed from tho
scarcity of other food, is only a partial ex-
planation. Tbe greater toxicity of the
plants at that season she believes to be a
very important element From the facts
and experiments detailed, the following
■conclusions are drawn: 1. There is some
poison in "loco weed" which may cause the
illness, and, if sufficient quantity is taken,
the death, of au animal, a. This poison is
contained in the decoction obtained from
the plants, and, by symtematically feeding
it to healthy cats, cases of "loco" disease
may bo produced. 3. From the large quan-
tity of the plant or the decoction required to
produce the disease, the poison must be
weak, or, if strong, must ba in very small
amount.
