SUGAR TEUST HIGHER

Traders Generally Considered It j a Good Thin: to Pnrchase. Ontslde of Industrials Business Was Not Active on 'Change Local Grain in Better Demand. At New York, yesterday money on call was ea.y at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 203 per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business In bankers' bills at Ji.8$'hi'5l.89 for demand and Jl.STU.STH tor sixty days; posted rates, il.&tV4.S0; commercial bills. LS624.8&;. Sliver certificates, Sifi&c. liar silver closed at C2c per ounce; at London, 23?;d. Total sales of stocks amounted to 1G0.2S3 ahares. Sugar Trust leading with 57,900. It was not an active stock market, but the trading was fairly well distributed. The Industrial group took about one-third of the business, with Sugar In the lead. St. Paul was active In the railway list, and was the only one of this class of stocks in which the transactions exceeded 10.000 shares. At the opening the general market was Arm, and a majority of the shares traded In showed an advance, exceptions being Illinois Central, Louisville & Nashville and General Electric. The speculation was unsettled during the first half hour of business, but gradually assumed a strong tone, the grangers and industrials being the most prominent In the upward movement. The improving tendency of the market continued into the afternoon, with Sugar as the leader, having made a gain of Hi up to midday. The buying in the stock became quite pronounced, and was for both long and short accounts, causing an additional advance of 2-i, to V)rU- A slight bear demonstration subsequently caused a reaction of !,but the final sale was at a recovery of making the advance on the day ZV. Sugar preterred made a gain of 14, closing at tne highest of the day. The general list was strong throughout the afternoon until just before 3 o'clock, when a fractional reaction set in, due mainly to realizations and the market closed slightly heavy and somewhat irregular, but. in the majority of cases, at an advance on Wednesday night's closing figures. The rise in Sugar was unaccompanied by any news affecting the stock and apparently was due to a squeeze of the shorts, who were Induced to sell by the artificial weakness displayed during the past few days. The liquidation in General Electric was resumed, sending the stock down to 25i. being 1V4 per cent, below Wednesday's closing. The readiness with which the stock offered was absorbed checked the selling and induced buying, causing a rally o lc. the final sale being within Yn, of the highest point touched. Chicago Gas was favorably affected by the company's application to transfer the quo warranto from the Illinois to the United States courts, the shorts undertaking to cover and some buying orders coming in from the West. The grangers made gains of 4U on the day, except St. Paul common, which lost Y. and St. Paul preferred 1 per cent. American Cable advanced 2ft; Tobacco, Ui; Lead, H, and St. Paul and Omaha preferred. 1 per cent. Illinois Central declined 1 per cent. The other changes were fractional. The bond market was active, the principal changes being: Declines Northern Pacific and Montana firsts, H;' St. Louis & San Francisco seconds, class A, Z: Atchison, Colorado & Pacific firsts and Flint & Pierre Marquette fives, each 2i; Wheeling & Lake Erie divisional firsts and Oregon Bhort Line consols, each, IV : v Cincinnati, Dayton & Ironton fives, and St. Louis Southwestern seconds each 1 per .cent. Advances Hocking Valley fives, 2; Chicago & Eastern Illinois firsts, and Pittsburg & Western fours, 1 per cent. Government bonds were steady. State bonds were inactive.

Trade Fairly Suttnfactory and Prices in Several Lines Unsettled. In most departments merchants speak of their trade as being fully as good as it could be expected to be under the conditions. Retail merchants still cling to the policy of eighteen months past purchasing goods to meet early requirements and keeping close to the shore In making large bills. Times have so Improved that many of the retail grocers who last winter could not collect bills and were obliged to secure the wholesale grocers through chattel mortgages, have lifted them, which is taken as evidence that times are Improving in the country. In prices on many lines there is an unsettled feeling. In dry goods firmness Is not a characteristic. Grocers feel the depression lets than the dry goods men. Sales of heavy groceries, such as coffees, sugars and fish, are up to the ueual spring average. On Commlsison row the conditions are the most unsettled. In the way of frult3 prices are governed by the receipts. Wednesday morning wagon loud of strawberries sold at $- 50 to $3 per case of twenty-four quarts. In the afternoon strawberries which were fairly good sold at 75c to $1 per case. Receipts of cabbage and new potatoes are larger and prices falling. The poultry market continues steady, whil egs and butter, on unusually larg receipts, are weak at the low quotations. The local grain market is fUt. Attendance on 'Change is small, and the bidding shows that dealers are disposed to do little. East-bound rates out of Chicago are demoralized, while at Indianapolis they are held tzp. so that our shippers are In a bad row.

llnllroncl Tux Cnnen. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: We see'in the Indianapolis News of May 10, under the heading "Tax Cases Compromise," the following: "It Is thought that the railroad attorneys have received Intimations from Washington that the United States Supreme Court will decide the cases against them, and to save as much as possible the compromise is proposed." The person who furnished the above statement to the press was either too Ignorant to know, or overlooked the fact that the statement above quotea is an open insult to every Justice upon the Supreme Bench, as well as to every respectable and selfrespecting attorney practicing before that court. No such intimation has been received hy any person representing the Pennsylvania lines, nor, we believe, by any one. We desire In this connection to state In the most positive form that neither the attorneys for the Pennsylvania lines, nor any person connected with the Pennsylvania lines has ever, directly or indirectly, made any proiosltion or suggestion to the State Board of Tax Commissioners, or any officer of . the State of Indiana regarding or looking towards any compromise whatever of the Pennsylvania line's tax cases now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. The Pennsylvania lines having entered upon this litigation, believing that the system of taxation in question was unjust, thev have seen no reason for changing their opinion, and confidently expect the Supreme Court to hold the tax Invalid. SAMUEL O. PICKENS. BUTLER, SNOW & BUTLER. May 10, 1894. How Kniffht Feels About It. C. H. Knight, epeclal officer for the Surgical Institute, feels that his domestic affairs have been placed In a bad light by the statements of the press regarding his trouble with Harry Overman, who, he claims, was gulltv of gross misconduct toward his wife. He claims that Overman has made himself particularly odious toward Mrs. Knight numerous times, and that on the occasion of the recent trouble he found him thrusting his attentions upon her. Possessing police powers, he attempted to place Overman under arrest on the charge of offending persons on the street. The Board of Public Safety conferred upon Knight the power of a special officer immediately after his retirement from the service of tha Union Railway Company on May L Police Conrt Notes. Lloyd Cooper was fined $2." and sent to th workhouse for thirty days for whipping his wife. Mary Castor, charged with the murder of her child, waived examination and was held to the crand jury without ball. James Waters was fined $20 each on two charges of selling intoxicating lljuor without a license. He appealed both cases to the Criminal Court. George W. Cross, colored, was fined $"0 and sent to the workhouse for one hundred days, by Judge Stubbs, for drawing a knife and. in a fit of jealousy, attempting to cut his best girl. It sometimes happens that a rT-'' ked finger will leave a blood stain upon some delicate work. It is a good thing to know that a paste made f uncooked laundry starch, if spread upon the stain immediately and left to dry, may then be scraped off. and with it will disappear all traces of the tain without iniurv to the fabric.

WHEAT WAS FIRMER

Threatening; Weather and Some Buying Were Bear Influences, Corn and Oats Lost Fractional Amounts, but Provision Closed Higher A!! r:".ind. CHICAGO, May 10. Wheat was quiet but firm to-day, closing 'with a gain of Mc. Threatening .weather in the West, with the possibilty of frosts and buying by Armour and others sustained prices in the face of much bearish news. Uncertainty regarding the government report prevented marked advance. Corn was easy and closed Mc lower, and. oats lost ic, but provisions finished a trifle higher throughout the list. Opening trades in wheat were at a trifling" decline, and. after selling up about Vic, eased back a little, rallied again, became quiet and steady, closing at the top. The market at the start was rather firmer than expected, but the offerings were light and demand quite- active. Threatening weather In the extreme West, the conditions being much colder In Wyoming, and the fear that It might extend into Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska to-night, created some strength. The firm tone was alone due to the fact that there was buying by. Armour and others, and the shorts have sold so much that they do not care to Increase their short interest. Outside crop nvs was bearish, and operators were uncertain as to what the report this afternoon would make the general condition. Outside markets were all a little higher, and early cables rather easy. Price changes were confined to c range. Corn was quiet, with the trade small and the feeling easier. A couple of prominent concerns were made rate sellers, and the decline was largely due to this fact. The market opened a trifle lower, and declined with few reactions. Oats were easier, due to a falling off In demand and increased offerings. Prices receded Vi'ac for the near futures and ?gc for July, but September was only off c. Provisions were steady on a lighter run of live hogs at the yards than expected and better prices for them. The volume of trade was extremely light, and price ranges were narrow. Compared with last night July pork is 5c and lard and ribs .02V&C higher. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat. 50 cars; corn, 106 cars; oats. 160 cars; hogs, 17,000. Lake business was slow.

L. S. Hardin, in American Agriculturist. Whether a large or small amount of milk 'or butter is sold from the farm In a yea,r, one is seldom satisfied with the price that Is paid for It. The limit usually runs from 10 to 25 cents a pound, while the creameries are getting from 22 to 40 cents for th same article, only better made and furnished in large lots of a uniform quality. Here is a heavy loss to the farm. While it is true that good tools alone will not make fine butter or rich milk, yet they

are inaispensaDie to encourage tne average maker to produce a better article. Tools are so cheap, too, that there ought to be a higher standard in the dairy output of the farm. In the first place, old dairy lmdements that have been used for years, especially if they have any wood about them, become so thoroughly soaked with old butter greas that it is Impossible to make a fine article with thera. The instant cream or fresh butter comes in contact with them they take all the life and fine flavor out of tha fresh article. For Instance, a piece of board, as Is often seen, that has been used In the dairy for many seasons to cover the pans of milk, will deaden the cream as fast as it rises on the surface of the milk, so that good butter cannot be made from it. An old churn that smells strong from age. will rob the butter of half Its value. Mil as It comes from the cow is rich In high flavors, but of an exceeding perishable . nature. To hold those flavors everything 1 wim wnicn xi comes in contact must be as cool and clean and fresh as possible up to the time the bargain Is struck with the merchant. The first necessity is that the stables are clean, with no smell of rotting manura about them. Then use nicely-scoured tin buckets to milk In. Hurry the milk out of the stable, or away from the cows, and set it Immediately fqr creaming in cans or pans that are perfectly clean, and covered not with wood, but with sheets of scoured tin. The can that holds the cream must be scalded in hot water every time it Is emptied, so that no particle of the old batch can get Into the new. No churn should be used more than two seasons unless made of metal or kept Immaculately clean. In this respect the churn is the most dangerous of all the dairy utensils, and must be aired as much as possible up to the point of cracking It with too much drying out. Let the sun shine into it often. While no one should ever put the bare hands to butter, it must be manipulated. To do this the best Implements are two flat paddles, made of hard wood. The table on which the butter Is worked Is easily kept clean, and should also be made of hard wood. But the joint of fatal error with many farmers' wives is that they will not pack and market the butter in the best shape to get good prices for It. The trouble usually comes from making the butter at odd times and having no regular time for taking it to town, instead' of first determining on what days of the month shipments can be made, and then regulate everything to that end. Butter should always be delivered within two weeks of the time the milk cme from the cow; oftener If possible. Cream can be held from four to six days, depending on how cold It Is kept and how sweet it was when taken from the milk. Never let It get too old, or all your hopes for good quality and high price will be crushed. The farm output of butter will hardly ba large enough to warrant ulng the ordinary butter tubs, and that Is not the b-st ehap to sell farm butter. By all means put it Into one-pound or two-pound cakes, and press ridges across the top of each pat with the paddle. Now for a bit of enterprise, get seme of the paraffin paper to wrap the prints In, or use cheese cloth. Do not use old cloths, even though thoroughly clean. What you buy for this purpose will not cost a. quarter of a cent to the pound of butter, while it will add several cents to the market valur of each pound. A little neatness In this- regard sharpens the appetite of the buyer.
