Northwest, St Paul, Central Pacific, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Lackawanna, Louisville & Nashvilhr, Missouri Pacific, New York Central, Northern Pacific preferred. Oregon & Transcontinental, Union Pacific and Western Union were the strongest shares Northwestern scored the greatest improve ment, selling up to IL3 5-8. After the first call a weaker tone prevailed, and there was a decline of 1-4 to 3 4 per cent, in the general list, and of 1 1-2 in Western Union, which sold down to 01 3-4. Subsequently Northern Pacific preferred developed great strength, advancing to 50 34, the highest price for a long time. The other active shares were all higher on account of the reduction in price of foreign exchange. Central Pacific rose to 52, Northwest#?!! tfi IWi -8, St.|Paul to 84.

Near 2 r. m. Reading sold down to 42 1-2, and, later, to 42. This started a fresh selling movement, and prices declined sharply* under heavy offerings, in the last half hour of business the market was unfavorably affected by the announcement that the Western Union Telegraph Company had ordered a reduction in rates to principal Southern points of 15 to 30 per cent It was also rumored the Union Pacific employes would strike against the cut in wages just ordered. The room was flooded with bearish reports. Western Union broke to 60 1-2 and Union Pacific to 61.

Foreign Money and Stock Market. IjONDON May 1. —5 P. M. —Holiday at the Stock Exchange. Bar silver, 50. Paris, May 3.—Rentes, 78f 33c. TRillß AXI> COMMERCE. Country Merchants Still Clinging to a Conservative Policy. Indianapolis. May I. The demand for all the leading articles of rner chandise continues of a hand-to-mouth character, yet there is a fair volume of business in the aggregate. The grocery trade is not what it ■would be were values better settled. The weak ness in the sugar market causes merchants to take hold cautiously. The coffee market was firmer to-day. The egg market is weak, so bad is the break in prices in Eastern markets. The butter market continues weak under the influence of increased arrivals, although for the finer grades prices are still maintained. Dealers gen erally report a diminished demand for imitations, including butterine. The demand for beans and dried fruits continues light, and holders generally are anxious to close out. The demand for all kinds of green stuff is increasing, owing to the warmer weather. Dry goods men, for a few days past, have had a brisk trade. The Boston papers report: "‘Stocks of staple cotton goads in first hands have been considerably re-

duced the past few weeks, and are now smaller than at this time last j'oar. The export demand has been quite large, and mills on those goods are still sold ahead. The great trouble with the market is that buyers arc not willing to pay a remunerative price for future contracts, and, therefore, some mill managers think it better to stop work until those who want the goods are willing to pay a fair rate for them. Orders for cotton flannels have been taken to a fair extent, mostly at value, and other goods for future delivery are selling in the same way. Novelties in prints are moving more freely, and the best grades of fancies are pretty well sold up. Ginghams are in a fairly satisfactory condition. Print cloths have been rather quiet the past few days, but manufacturers are firm at 3 5 8c por yard for C4s and 33 16c for 565. Several brands of brown and bleached sheetings and shirtings, ticks and many other cotton fabrics have been advanced by agents, but in the absence of an active movement, prices are for the most part nominal. ” GRAIN. Wheat was a little offish to-day, and the same is true of oats, while corn is iu a strong position. The'Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: The local markets have shaded off slightly from yesterday, and while the feeling was somewhat weak, yet all cash deliveries would readily bring full quotations. Shippers can easily use all local receipts in filling orders from interior points. The markets at other points are decidedly weak, and showed a marked decline, New’ York at noon going off from lc to 2c, Baltimore 1 l-4e, and Chicago declining lc from yesterday's close.

NEW YORK, May I.—Lead quiet. Household Flints. Table cloths and napkins are much ornamented with fringes. Japanese chintz is very popular for portieres between an alcove .ami bed-room. Wide, flat, plush frames on pictures have a large bunch of fruit—poaches, apples or oranges —fastened on the upper left hand corner with a broad ribbon bow. A tailor has made a very effective stair carpet of patterns neatly sewn together, as in patchwork, and edged with scarlet two inches wide. He lias taken care to have the patterns all the same size, and they look like thick striped material. Much ingenuity is used in placing mattings on the floors of summer residences. A plaid or bright colored piece is tacked all around the floor and a square of the same kind in the mid die. The other space is filled with plain white or any individual taste is carried out to lay it in a rug-like manner. To pack laces, fold them in blue tissue paper or soft linen, because white paper contains bleaching acids, and discolors and decays the ribbon or lace. Tlio same is true of white shoes and gloves, and especially of silver ornaments. The latter, though worn every evening, retain their purity and brilliancy for mouths if kept in blue tissue paper. Pretty fringe for edging bedroom lambrequins and other cretonne decorations can made by raveling strips of coarse gray linen, and at short intervals sewing in a strand of colored worsted. A heading is made by turning down the top on the wrong side, leaving a plain piece half an inch wide, which is covered with coarse herring bone stitch in crewed or wool. Avery pretty shade for a chandelier globe is made of a band of brightsatin ribbon two inches wide, gathered slightly at the upper edge to fit just above the largest, part of the globe. The lower edge is bordered with antique lace about three inches in width, finished with a fringe of embroidery silk of the color of the ribbon, knotted into its pointed or scalloped edge. Following the crazy quilt comes the more sensible opera-bag. It is made square in shape, usually of satin or brocade, and trimmed, lined, wadded, and what not at will It is closed with drawing strings, and hung on the arm or laid on the lap or box rail during the evening. At the close of the performance the bag is opened and in are tumbled programme, libretto, glasses, fan, vinaigrette, handkerchief and all. Hand-work is largely used in drapery decoration, and elaborate bands of “darned-work’’ are l>eing placed on white scrim and grenadine curtains. A set in cliocse-cloth, intended for the bed-room of a Newport cottage, * lined with shdl-pink silesia, the darned work bring set be tween insertion an inch wide, of olive mat rame, Double disks, or two rings, linked one within the other, form a favorite device for hand decor ated and other draperies. The following cure for hiccoughs was devised several months ago, and since then has been successfully employed in numerous instances by several persons: Fit erect and inflate the lungs fully. Then, retaining the breath, bend forwara slowly until the chest meets the knees. After slowly rising again to the erect posture, exhale the breath. Repeat this process a second time, and the nerves will he found to have received an access of energy that will enable them to perforin ther natural functions.

Recipes. Sauce for Meat—An excellent meat sauce is made of one pint of vinegar, two spoonfuls of mustard seed, two of horse-radish grated, two small onions cut in fine bits, a teaspoonful of red pepper, and a little salt. Put this in a gloss can and set it away for a week or two, and it will be very well prepared for the table. If any scum rises on the top akim it all off before pour ing out the sauce. Fritters.—Very rich fritters are made of one and one-half pints of flour, the yolks of four eggs, two small teaspoon fills of baking powder, butter the sixe of a large hickory-nut. salt to taste, with enough milk to make a thick batter fry in lard that is heated to the boiling point. A rule for plainer ones may be wished for also. Two eggs, one cup of sweet milk, a little salt, and flour enough to make a stiff batter. These are nice with maple syrup. Barley Soup.—Cut three slices of bacon and two pounds neck of veal into small pieces; put them into a saucepan or small kettle, with a pint of water. Let this simmer for three quarters of an hour, then add one small onion, a carrot, two stalks of celery, a bouquet of herbs, half a teaspoonful of black pepper, a teaspoonful of salt and two quarts of water. Let this boil for at least two hours, then take from the lire and when cold remove the fat or scum from the top, strain the soup and put it on the fire and add a piut of barley which has been washed and soaked in cold water for three hours at least. There should be a pint of the barley after it is soaked Potato Rolls.—Potato rolls made in this way are very nice for breakfast: Boil six" good-sized potatoes with their jackets on, take them out with a skimmer, drain them, and squoeze them with a towel to insure their being mealy and dry, then remove the skin, mash them until perfectly free from lumps, add a tablespoonful of nutter, the yolks of three eggs, a pint of sweet milk, and a tablespoonful of yeast should be beaten in with them when they are cool enough so that the yeast will not be in danger of being scalded. Beat in just enough flour to make stiff dough: when this rises make it in the sliape of small cakes, let them rise the same as biscuit, bake a delicate brown. These are nice for breakfast or supper. Learning to Cook. New York Fveniuii Poet. There comes a time in every little girl’s life when she is seized with a longing to cook. By all means indulge her. Do not wait until she is a young lady and then send her to a cooking-school to leant how to make a pudding or cake —what she might have learned in the kitchen at home, and been happy in learning. A neighbor of mine who puts this theory in practice presented me with a plate of cookies made by her daughter of five. They would have been creditable to a much older cook. The child faithfully and delightedly followed her mother’s instructions. If some older member of the family superintends, but does not lend a helping hand, a good deal of valuable knowledge will be acquired in this way. Let them begin with something very simple; try, for instance, this rule for crackers: To three pints of flour put one teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in sour milk; melt a tablespoonful of butter, or of butter and lard mixed; make the dough very stiff; roll it very thin; bake slowly. The New England Farmer, which is published in Boston, says: “From 100,000 to 150,000 pounds of butter substitutes, legally known as ‘oleomargarine,’ though a very laree proportion of them are not. what is scientifically so termed, are sold in this city every week. This will continue to be the case just as long as so large a proportion of our receipts of genuine butter rango from inferior to nasty. Indianapolis, ind. Take Stockyard a tract car*.
