THE INDIANAPOLIS NATIONAL BANK Designated United State* Depository, Corner Room Odd-fellows' Hail. fno. P. Havqhxt, Pres'L H. LAthak, Oasf* CONDITION OF THE MARKETS. Heavy Wheat Purchases Cause a Steady Feeling and a Slight Rise in Prices. Corn and Oats Rule Steady and a Shade Higher—The Provision Market Quiet and Easy, and Prices Without Notable Change. MONEY BONDS AND STOCKS. Ballway Bonds Active and Higher—Stocks Also Active at Better Prices.} N*w York, May 26.—Money on call was easy at Is®3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4® 5 per cent Sterling exchange was dull at $487 for sixtylay bills and $4.39 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day aggregated 830,839 shares, including the following: Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 30,640; Erie, 11,660; Kansas & Texas, 7,410; Lake Shore, 58,825; Louisville & Nashville, 4,375: Northwestern, 14,970; New Jersey Central, 4,000; New York Central, 8,040; Pacific Mail, 0,025; Reading, 7,820; St Paul, 69,310; St Paul & Omaha, 3,690; Texas & Pacific, 3,450; Union Pacific, 4,600; Western Union, 15,570; Northern Pacific preferred, 12,140; Oregon & Transcontinental, 7,869. Government bonds were dull and unchanged, except the threes, which are 1 lower. State bonds were strong. V Railroad bonds were again active, the total sales aggregating $2,722,000. The market was strong throngh the greater part of the day, but yielded slightly towards the close. Final prices generally show material advances. Erie second consols furnishod $1,063,000, at a net advance of f. St. Paul, L. & D. division, fires, are up I|, at 1081; Omaha common, I£, at 126; Denver, South Park & Pacific trusts, 3, at 75; Kent#cky Central fours, 3, at 70; Lake Shore second coupons, 14, at 127; Louisville, New Albany & Chicago firsts, 12, at 110; St. Louis & San Francisco, Class A, 2, at 104, and Richmond & Danville debentures, 2, at 105. In the early morning hours stocks were conspicuous for nothing but the buying of Lake Snore. Several large loans of Lake Shore stock were called in, which started extensive covering by "shorts.” Later there was large buying for the ‘'long” account, and the London cables reported an active demand for it there, and the stock advancing a fraction. In the afternoon it was joined by the grangers and Lackawanna, and the announcement of heavy increased earnings by the roads in the Northwest, coupled with the settlement of the rate difficulties in the Central Traffic Association, with the promise that toe Chicago & Atlantic would soon become a member, and the failure of the strike and return of the miners to work in the bituminous eoal region, all helped the upward movement. Prices continued to advance on'large transactions without a reaction worthy of the name, and the market closed firm at the highest prices of the day. Notwithstanding the free buying of Lake Shore and other stocks, loaning rates still continue firm, and it is believed that the "short” interest has not been materially lessened. The market opened as it closed last night, rather heavy, and with generally £to f decline. There Were some further slight declines in the early dealings, but under the leadership of Lake Shore and St. Paul, soon became firm, and, although quiet, material advances were jnade before noon. After that time, however, there was increased activity along the line, And the favorite stocks moved up rapidly. The net results of the day’s operations are advances of the whole active list of amounts ranging from small fractions to nearly 2 per cent. Lake Shore heads thre list with I|, followed by St. Panl with If; Missouri, Kansas & Texas, ljf; Northern Pacific preferred, 14; New York Central and Western Union, each 1 per cent., and the remainder of the list fractional amounts. There was noticeable activity and strength in St Louis & Ban Francisco; the common rose 1 per cent, the preferred 12, and the preferred 2\. • It is reported that the company will extend its line to Paris, Tex., which it is thought will greatly increase the company’s business. Norfolk & Western preferred advanced {, and St Paul & Duluth 1 per cent 8t Paul was the most active to-day, and furnished 69,100 ■hares, Lake Shore followed with 58,825, and Laokawana next with 30,640.

Business Men Hopeful—A Material Improvement Noticeable. Indianapolis, May 26. The material improvement in the labor situation has given a decidedly more cheerful feeling in business circles, and there is a strong hope that the year may he somewhat rescued from the depression that has heretofore threatened it. Some branches of business which had a very favorable prospect three months ago have experienced such a blight that a recovery is not expected; other branches dealing in the necessaries of life and the more prosaio staples have not been so deeply affected and have enjoyed a eonsiderable distribution of goods, and now anticipate a large business. The building trades have been most sharply affected. It is calculated from reports to Bradstreet’s that work has been stooped on new buildings to the value of $25,000,000 in principal cities of the country. If the labor market becomes tranquil, Crobabiy half of these plans may be resumed, ut employers will be cautious of placing themselves in situations where their help may have them at a disadvantage. Grocers speak of trade as being a little off this week. Prices, however, are steady and strong on nearly all staples. There is uncertainty brooding over the sugar market, notwithstanding the firmness in prices. Refined sugar is now lower than before the strike in the Brooklyn refineries, and even at the decline the absorption of stocks has been languid anddisappointine, notwithstanding that production has not materially increased. Rr w sugar has likewise been depressed, with values gradually drifting downward. The deliveries at the four ports sinco Jan. 1 show a falling off ot 63,234 tons iq comparison with last year, and of this quantity 39,191 tons represents the decrease in home consumption, and 24,043 tons the deficiency in exports. Os course this loss is not likely to be recovered now, and when taken in connection with the material falling off that is shown in Europo, to some extent neutralizes the ingenious theories respecting short crops and increased consumption, upon which the speculative movement in Europe last winter was based. The most active months for the sugar trade are near at hand, hut present indications point to cheap sugar for the next few mouths at least The coffee market is entirely under speculative influences, and for this reason the situation is artificial and not altogether premising. Prices have been adraocod and dealers increased their stocks, but the distributive movement has not improved, aud without a free outlet, an apparently strong market lacks one of the most essential elements of substantial support. Speculation can force an advance in prices, but it cannot force or even control consumption, and is subservient to the laws of supply and demand. Tea continues dull aud featureless; the near approach of new crop supplies begets a desire to get quit of old stock, and henoe some pressure to sell. The produce markets show a good ileal of activity, but there is such an abundance it is very difficult for commission men to maintain even respectable prices; none expect to get prices high enough 15 meet the views of the shippers.

A comparatively narrow raised roauwav is better than one of greater width, as the surface drainage will be better; but a very narrow bed, with much “crown” or slope to the sides is almost always objectionable, not giving any choice in travel, thus causing deeper ruts. When used while the surface is wet, the wheels and horses' feet will certainly make ruts and holes, and, in most soils, these are so puddled as to be impervious to water, so that extra slope to the sides is of little importance. If it were practicable to prevent the roads beiDg used during or soon after rains, the surface of well drained roads would soon become dry and hard. As this cannot be done, we must rely on securing as good drainage as is possible, and on promptly filling the ruts and holes made during the wet weather. When the land is wet, lines of tile laid at the sides of the road, inside the open ditches, will be a very great help in carrying off water, which would otherwise have to be removed much more slowly, and lareely by evaporation—always provided the work is well done, and there be a good outlet for these drains. Tile drainage will not give us ideal roads in wet weatheiy but it may do more to improve the roads in many sections of the State than any one thing of equally small cost It should be remembered that the rights and duties of road commissioners may extend outside the ttfty or sixty feet set apart for the road. The good results of grading, ditching and tiling. . are often largely dependent upon outlet ditches or drains extending, perhaps, for a long distance through adjacent lands. If the land owners will co-operate, well; if not, the commissioners should exercise their legal rights. Often the public funds eau be more wisely used its making ditches in adjoining lands, than by making larger ponds at the roadside in attempts to secure good roads in wet land by further raising the surface. It is not the province of this paper to give details of road construction or describe the machinery to be used. It may be said, however, thavit is to be hoped that the time will soon come when road-making and repairing will be done exclusively by men whose special business this is, and not by men working out their tax; that the work of construction and important repairs should be done, whenever possible, in the spring or early summer, as throwing a lot of unpacked earth on the surface in the fall is an abomination; that it seems probable the day of general use of dumping scrapers has gone by, but, that if U6ed, common humanity and economy demand that the surface be made uniform instead of a series of little hills; that it is desirable to have, perhaps, three feet of level surface at each side before commencing the “crowning” of the road-bed, as helping to prevent the filling of the ditches; that making sideditches and raising the center is important even od hilly ground, else there may be great trouble from washing; that careful attention to the small culverts is only less important than providing large bridges where needed. Most of all does it need to be impressed on many in authority that it is a great waste to keep up the system of letting the roads alone except once a year, or when they become impassable. Within a week I have been one of hundreds who have been bounced and jolted in farmwagon and light buggy over a lending road, the ruts iu which were being slowly filled at cost of time, comfort, horse fieeh and iniury to vehicles; yet where a day’s work by one man and pair of horses, with any one of several road-machines, would have made miles of this road so smooth that travel over it would have been a pleasure. We have advanced far enough in civilization to think of making the roadsides places of beauty, covered with grass and with reasonable treeplanting, rather than the home of unsightly or noxious weeds, or having them lined with hedges of willow or osage, twenty feet high, shutting out all view, keeping out the breezes and keeping in all dust, as well as greatly retarding evaporation. Tell Us of Your Failures. National Stockman. An intelligent young farmer remarked to us the other day that he regarded the one point of weakeess of tho modern agricultural press to be the lack of the reporting of failures— everj* correspondent seamed ready to tell of his successes, but it was exceptional indeed to find any one ready to talk in public of results of aa opposite nature. Our friend is rieht—-and the press is conscious of this bar to comparative completeness in the work. But until human nature is radically changed it is not likely that this want oau be very satisfactorily supplied. Seed corn tihould be changed every four or five years, or at least new kinds mixed with the local sorts. Halford Sauce is capital for dyspeptics. RAILWAY TIME-TABLE.
