At New York. yesterday, money on call wag easy at lHr- per cent., the last loan Leingnade at 2, closing ottered at 2. 1'rime mercantile paper, 4"u6 per cent. Sterling exchange was quiet bnt steady at HS6 for sixty-day bills and ZLtSlA lor dsmaud. The total sales of stocks wero 2S0.2S4 li ares, including the following: Atchison, 21.458; trie, 23,2tf; Louisville &.

The operations in the stock markot yesterday displayed a proof that there arc two parties in the speculation. Under the in licence of these contending forces the market was, during most of the day, feverish and unsettled, hat the balls had the aid of a free covering of yesterday's shorts, and prices, as a rule, wero woll maintained. Keading scored a substantial gain, in company with a few other stocks which have of late been the object of special bear pressure. The grangers were given more prominence to-day and St. Paul again assumed its other place as leader of the market in point of activity and in it as in the other prominent shares the eflorts at depression were followed by a full recovery and gain- of small fractions in addition. The opemug of the general list was made at fractionally lower figures, but tho covering of shorts was on so largo a scale that prices rose from the lfrst sales. There was no set-back aud the market finally closed quiet to doll, but firm, generally at about the best prices of tho day. One of the most prominent features of the late trading was a sharp upward movement in Manhattan, which, after selling down l1 to 1154. rose rapidally to U'.. closing with a reaction of only l per cent. Th linal changes are almost invariably sliaht gains, but Manhattan is up 2; liurlington, I'd and Delaware &. Hudson. 1 per cent. Kail road bonds were more active and the trading extended to a still larger number of isaues while the feature of tho dealings was the return of the Atchison incomes to popularity. Richmond & West Point sixes retired, but no other material changes in the prominent issues ocenrred. The market waR in the main linn throughout. Government bonds were dull, but firm. estate bonds were entirely neglected.

Wealthy Delaware County Farmer Sent to Prison for a Crime He Never Committed. Fr'cinl to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncik, Ind., March CO. Daleville and vicinity is in another state of excitement, becanse of developments that will likely release a prominent farmer of that vicinity from State's prison and completely exonerate him. Nearly one year ago great surprise was caused at Daleville and vicinity by the charge of stealing a plow openly preferred against Joseph Pugslcy, a wellknown and much-respected farmer. Thomas Conley bad a plow stolen from his held, and found it being used by 31 r. Pngsley in a held near by. Pogsley claimed he had purchased the plow of a fieddlcr. bnt could not prove it. while Coney proved that the plow was his property. After a long trial Mr. Pngsley was found guilty and sentenced for one year. Yesterday, in removing a straw-stack from the field where Mr. Puesley was plowing, bu implement identically tho sanin as Conley 'a was found under the straw, and it is now claimed that some enemy stole Pugsloy's plow, and. after hiding it, placed the one belonging to Conley iu its place for the purpose of making trouble. Prosecutor Letiler is investigating the case, and will see that Pngsley has justice, even if tardy. The plow was found by some men employed by the Anderson straw-board-woms, who were removing tho straw pile. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

WHEAT FAILED TO RECOVER

The Chicajio Article Pescribcd as Making a Desperale Effort to Sit Up. At First Soms Strenjrlh Was Difplayed, Sendidj the Price to SO 3-8c for 3Iay, bat a Break Came Later and ths Close Was Dc TRADING AT CniCAGO. The Market In that State Where Operators llecome All nt Sea. CHICAGO. March 80. Wheat made heroic ettorts to sit up to-day. Its strength proved hardly sufficient for the ell'ort and the attempt bad to be abandoned. There seemed to be a good many bnying orders at the start, and for a time there was a considerable display of vigor. The early cables were construed by so mo as favorable, one especially from Liverpool, and, domestic markets showing an upward tendency, there was a good deal of covering. Reported large export engagements here yesterday had a tendency to create strength and cause shorts to cover, while Pradstreet's report of a decrease in the visible supply last week of 1,357.000 bushels was also regarded as a favorable f acton The receipts for the day were only 90 cars, or 40 cars less than estimated, while only 00 cars were expected to-morrow. May opened briskly at c higher at feO'sSOUo. but the advance brought out free otlerings. The tone soon changed to ono of weakness, and before 11 o'clock the price went oil to Watt 80c split. Kauttmann, of St. Louis, and the Kew York contingent proved the best sellers. Their offerings were urgent, and early buyers soon lost coutidence and liquidated. Nearly all the late cables were weaker, and those from the continent were particularly depressed, Paris aud Antwerp both being quoted lower. The weather in Franco wns said to be favorable, and the wheat crop in line condition. There were also many favorable reports declaring crop damage reports to bo gross exaggerations or entire fabrications. Py noon the market sold oil to TUc. Weakness continued to rale during the closing hour ana May sparingly sold as low as TJUu and loft oil easy at WaC. A new feature was tho decline in the premium on July. The preseure to sell that month was great from the Southwest on the line crop prospects, and it fell from l'.feo over May to only 'io over. It was also discovered that a number of houses were baying May, bat selling an equal amount of July. Ono of the items of gossip lioating around was that the McCormick Harvester Company of this city was arranging its plans for a crop nearly equal to that of last year. Reports late iu the day of cash sales of half a million bushels at Minneapolis bad no etlect here. Dispatches were received from the Straits, saying the ice is breaking tip and that navigation will likely bo open by April 10. The corn trade was almost a duplication of tho wheat market. It started at an advance for May of about and made the best price for the day in the tirst few minutes of the session. Some of . the parties who were supposed to be the heaviest holders were selling on the opening, and Cudahy was said to be lettiug his go as well us Partlett-Frazer. who sold Irooly uear tho opening. The local receipts were below expectations and contained little up to contract, while the weather was regarded as unfavorable. Considerable excitement prevailed in oats at the opening, the market being very lirni as a result of similar condition in the wheat and corn pit and tho fact that the receipts were lighter than expected. Conneelman and Frazer-Partlott bought pretty free, early, takiug about 200.000 bushels eaoh aud eendiug the price to2Uo. Late in the day Schwartz-Dupeo purchased quite a linr. for New York parties. lie z products were weak on the list. Ryan, Logan aud Hatley were good sellers. Closing prices were nearb the lowest. May pork closed at 310.17, compared with 810.374& yesterday.' May lard athVJOc against CSOc, and ribs 5.57 Mc compared with 5.700 yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 00 cars; corn, 105 cars; oats. ICG cars; bogs, from 27,000 to X),000 bead. The leading f utnres ranged as follows:

It makes a slow growth at best at first, and when planted with the soil wet, cold and ill prepared the seed is slow to germinate, while the plantsmake a very unsatisfactory growth. In nearly all cases it will pay to wait until the soil is reasonably dry and warmod ud before planting the seed, and then if the seed is of a good Quality and the soil is in a good tilth a quicker and better germination will be secured. It pays to harrow or work the soil well before planting. When the plants tint come up thev are small and tender, and as they grow slowly the weeds will often get tho best start before the cultivation can be commenced. Tho seed need very little covering, and if to be sown by hand care must be taken to run the furrows out very shallow iu order to avoid covering too deep. One of the advantages in luing the drill in planting is that the Heed can be distributed more evenly in the rows and be covered at a more uniform depth, two important items in securing u good, even stand. When the seed is sown by hand it will aid in securing a quicker germination if the seed is moistened aud allowed to stand twelve hours before planting. Have the rows about three and a half feet apart, so as togivopienty of room to cultivate. One advantago in planting an early variety is tnat it will ripen nnd can be worked up out of the way before tho fall work, like sowing wheat and cutting up the corn, becomes pressing. ' In many cases it will pay to roll the ground after planting the seed, as it help to make a better germination, and also rises the soil iu a better condition for com. menciugthe cultivation. As with nearly all other crops the harrow can nearly always be used to good advantage in commencing the cultivation. In no other way can the weeds be destroyed and the soil be fined so close around the plants. Often two harrowings can be given with profit and then the cultivator can be used. In an average season two harrowings and three good cultivations will be all that is necessary; as often the plants make a sufficient growth to shade the ground, very little cultivation will be needed. It is tho early cultivation that is the most important, and the more thoroughly this is given tho better will be thu results. Care should be taken not to allow the plants to stand too thick.

Indianapolis Journal DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY. The Journal is first of all a newspaper. Its primary object is to publish the news, and to secure this it spares no pains or expense. Hcsidos tho service of two great news agencies,which cover foreign countries as well as the cntiro United States, it has a corps of Special Correspondents, who givo attention to those events and occurrences that aro likely to be of particular interest to the Indiana public Its "Washington bureaa was established for the purpose of looking after matters in which the State and its people are concerned, and is under, the management of an Indiana man well acquainted with the local business nnd political issues. It has a correspondent in every towu of importance ' iu tho State, and is constantly increasing its facilities for obtaining information from every quarter. Its 6tall of city reporters is large, and its local departments aro unexcelled. As a newspaper it is far better equipped than any other in tho State, and welcomes com-. parison with its contemporaries in any and all of its departments. With all it endeavors to Be accurate and trustworthy, printing the news, whatever it may bo, without personal or partisan bias. Hut while the Journal is non-partisan as to news, it is a Republican paper, and Bets forth Republican principles. It is important that tho people shall read tho truth about these principles, and it was with the object of putting everybody in tho way of doing so that tho prlco of tho DAILY J0U1A Was reduced to as. a A WEEK No other method of securing a Republican victory at the polls is so certain ae tho circulation of Republican papers among voters. Since the reduction in tho price thousands of subscriptions have poured in from all parts of tho State, showing that a need was supplied. In order to have the proper influence and effect upon voters seeking for trustyworthy information the Journal should go into their hands at onco, and not next . spring or summer. Clubs are being formed and agencies established wher- ' ever daily mails reach, and as rapidly as traveling agents can visit the places, j but RepuDlicans in each and every lo-! cality cannot do their party greater service than to interest themselvoi in 1 circulating the JournaL The Sunday Journal Is a paper that gives more attention to miscellaneous literature than the other editions, and contains in its sixteen, and often twenty, pages a variety of CHOICE READING MATTER That satisfies the most exacting taste. The same reasons that call for tho immediate extension of the the daily circulation apply to the weekly. This is carefully edited, with a special view to the wants of Indiana readers, both in its general and political news. lis subscription price, 81. with reduction to clubs, places it within the reach of all, and no campaign contribution can bo so effective as when spent in furnishing this paper to readers who need Republican doctrine.
