TRADE AM) COMMERCE. The Situation Thought To lie Improving, with Plenty of Room for Further Improvement. Indianapolis, Dee. 11. Disagreeable stormy weather interfered con fiderably with trade to day, yet the tenor of the remarks of business men is of a hopeful character. The New York Shipping List of the lflth lays of the condition of trade that however dull end unsatisfactory the surface appearances of trace may be, it is generally admitted that the oommercial and financial situation liak developed itmore hopeful and cheerful feeling respecting the future, as well as an undertone that promises still further improvement in this respect. With all the stagnation of idle capital that last week’s bank statement exhibits, there has been An expansion of loans that is at least significant; the continued demand for good railroad bonds that seems to have been uninfluenced by the manipulation of the stock market is another Indication that confidence is strengthening; the heavy exports of cotton emphasizes the favor able features of that market, and the probabilities that Congress will complete before its adjournment. definite and satisfactory legislation for suspending the coinage of silver dollars, are all elements of a character calculated to assist the growth of 'a healthier sentiment in commer cial affairs, and in some measure, neutralise the unfavorable features that without doubt still exist There is no occasion for alarm because failures are beginning to increase in number. This is not unusual towards the close of the year, and besides the majority are small traders. The annual closing up of accounts is weeding out those who have been unable to stand up against shrinkage and severe competition, or, in other words, is in the nature of an application of the law of the “survival of tho fittest. r There is depression throughout the world, and the country that gets upon rock bottom first, will be the first to feel the effects of a rebound, and the sooner labor appreciates this fact tho better. It is for tho interests of both parties to come to an agreement at once, for tho divine injunction, “agree with thine adversary quickly,” never had a more obvious moaning than at the present time. The determination of the French Cabinet to recommend an import duty upon wheat has no doubt had some effect upon the market here, apd accounts in some measure for the recent decline, although prices •ire still chiefly under vhe influence of manipulation. The export demand has been light, but

the inferior movement continues generous, and largely in excess of the corresponding period last year. As compared with last year, the exports of wheat, are larger, being 20.130.(550 bushels, against 22.572.914 bushels in 1883, while of corn the movement is backward, only 4.711,044 bushels having been shipped up to Dec. 6, against 13.449,197 bushels last year. Western farmers are talking about lower freight rates, since, upon the basis of the present scale of charges, with corn at 35 cents in Chicago, the Kansas farmer realizes but little more than 5 cents for bis product. Locally there is no change of importance in quotations. The sugar and coffee markets are both offish. GRAIN. Active and firm with light receipts, covers the local situation. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: Local markets for choice grades are about nominal in consequence of scarcity of receipts. Futures dull, without sellers, and only few inquiries.

Pniladelphia Times. The common palm-leaf fans are now converted into “things of beauty*’ and can be used as fans or serve as ornaments. The floral fans are often decorated with elongated bunches of violets—enough can be bought for twelve or fifteen cents —backed by autumn-tinted leaves, the stalks of the violets being overlaid by the leaves, giving the appearance of the flowers nestling in among them. Yellow chrysanthemums are arranged in the same way, with tinted ivy leaves of va rious sizes and also daisies or other flowers, wild roses, with all kinds of leaves and sprays of maidenhair fern, one turning over the flowers and the other downwards towards the handle, which is bound over with silk, satin ribbon, or anything harmonizing or contrasting with the color of the flowers. This is a most effective way of using up old flowers and bits of silks, velvets or ribbons one may And in old boxes. Another pretty way of trimming is to tie a bow of lace with one end longer than the other, allowing the long end to run round the edge of the fan as far as it will go, and turning the short one downward, securing it with a fancy brooch or ornamental-headed pin. A Christmas fancy is to gild these fans and decorate them with holly, tying the handle with a scare It cord and tassel. Avery pretty fan is edged with moderately-large beads, first strung on thin wire and then sown onto the edge, with an appliqued bird in beads and velvet, fastened on near the center but a little to one side; some loops of beads are at the handle. Floral designs in embroidered appliques and velvet figures are often gummed on to the fans, which are finished at the handle with a large ribbon velvet. The velvet on oue fan is cut in the shape of the palra-lenf fan, only a size smaller, with the edge in deep points or Vandykes, and in the middle of this is an embroidered humming-bird and a spray of rosebuds with leaves. Still another decorative fan shows a small stuffed bird, secured above a cluster of artificial leaves, and very pretty effect is attained by mounting gauze dragon flies or tinsel butterflies on wire, as if they were hovering over leaves and flowers.

Recipes. Cream Pie—Whipped-cream pie is a delicacy that to be appreciated needs but to be eaten. Make a crust of moderate riehuese, line a deep tin with it; bake quickly in a hot oven; when done spread it with a layer of jelly or jam; first a thin layer, then whip one teacupful of sweet cream ukitil it is as light as possible; sweeten with powdered sugar, and flavor with vanilla; spread over the jelly or jam; set the cream where it will get very cold before whipping. Spiced Round of Beef —Take about twenty pounds of round of beef, which rub well with about three ounces of coarse brown sugar, and put in a pan for twenty four hours. Pound up to a powder two ounces of saltpeter, two ounces of black pepper, two ounces of allspice, a little nutmeg, one blade of mace, and six cloves. Mix this with twelve ounces of common salt and the juice of four ounces of pounded juniper berries, and rub well into the beef, repeating this daily for three weeks. When ready to be cooked, wash in cold water and place in a deep covered pan the size of the meat, to which add a quarter pint of water. Cover it with beef stfet choppe'u very fine, over which put a comniou paste crust. Place on the cover and put into the oven. When done let it get cool before taking off the crust and suet. Apple Jelly—Excellent apple jelly is made of six pounds of apples, three pints of water, and to every quart of juica allow two pounds of sugar, and the juice of half a lemon, unless you have the juice of some tart fruit, as currants or some cherries. If you have this, add enough of it to gi\e a flavor and slight color to the water. Cut the apples into slices after peeling and coring them. Put them into a jar or poreclain kettle, pour the water over them and set the jar into the oven; cover the jar and let it remain in the oven until the apples are perfectly soft, then remove and strain the juice through a coarso flannel bag. Then put the juice and sugar together; then let them boil gently for half an hour; remove the sknm as it rises; test the juice occasionally to see how thick it is getting; when it begins to be really like jelly at all it is safe to take it from the fire, for it will harden a great deal after it is put away in small glasses or bowls.

Grapes from Heed. Minneapolis Tribune. Fortunately, more attention is now being given to the production of seedlir.g fruits than over heretofore. Choice varieties from seedlings are the exception rather than the rule. Ordinarily, where a single valuable Variety is produced, a score or more prove to be absolutely worthless. Nevertheless, the efforts to produce new and more desirable varieties should be made. The great amount of fruit that can be produced on a small area set with grapevines is an incentive to the production of choice varieties of grapes. Wash the seeds of well ripened grapes from the pulp and mix them with equal parts of moist sand and mold. Place the shallow boxes containing the seeds out of door*, so that the frosts can act Upon the seeds. Do not allow them to become dry or water soaked. In the spring, plant an inch in depth in beds of deep, rich soil, in drills a foot or eighteen inches apart, placing the seeds an inch or two apart in the drills. The young plants should be partly shaded for the first few weeks of their growth. The surface of the ground should also be mulched, so that the growth may be continuous. An inch or two of well rotted manure that is entirely free from weed seeds is the b*st. Tie the young plants to light stakes as soon as large enough. If the Season is a dry one, give the bed a thorough drenching at least once a week. Next November lay the young down and cover them with corn stalks or evergreen boughs. Arranging: Society Programmes. New tork Evening Poet. A musical and literary society, which has been popular and successful for two winters past and is still alive, adopted this method of determining who should take part in the programme of the next meeting. In the first place it is perfectly well understood that each member of tne society will take part, then the names are put into a hat and are well shaken; then the president, who is blindfolded, selects the names, one at a time. Bhe bauds them t o the secretary, who reads them at once. Usually it is customary to assign to each one a part which it is well known he or she can take with ease, but sometimes, for fun, and to vary the proceedings, a programme is made out, and then the subjects or parts are designated on separate bits of paper, they are put into a hat and each one who lias already had her name drawn from the hat, draws a slip of paper, and in obliged to accept as inevitable the part aseigued. _ Covers for square or round tables that are in use in the common sitting-room are made of heavy furniture covering, and are simply finished about the edge with fringe; dust shakes out of them, and they wear long and well.
