M0SHT STOCKS AKD GRAIN Tho Share List Activo and Strong with Advances All Along the Line. Easier Condition of Exchange and Stoppage of Gold Experts Responsible At Indianapclla Nothing New in Cereals. THE BOND MARKET. Railroad Issue Improved Under the Developed Strong Temper. At New York, yesterday, money cneall was firmer at 5 to 7 percent., tbe last loan 1)0102 made at 5, closing offered at 5. Vrime mercantile paper, C3GM percent. Sterling exchange was quiet and easy, with actual business at for sixtyday banners' bills and ?4.87a4 lor demand. The total sales of stocks were 443,000 eh area, including the following: Atchison. 8, SCO; Chicago, Burlington &, Quincy, 6,SO0; ' Chicago Gas, 13.C00; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 4,000; Distilling. 11,000; Erie, 0,200; General Electric. 24,700; Louisville' Nashville, S.fcCO; Missouri Pacific, 4,200; National Lead. 4,200; National Cordage, 6,000; New England, 23,700; Northern Pa- ' cifio preferred, 20.C00; Reading. 123,800; Richmond Terminal, C.QOO; Rock Island, 7,200; St, raul, 23.C00; Sugar, 50.10Q; U nion Pacific. 49.200; Western Union, 4,100. The stock market yesterday for tho first ". time in weeks developed a decidedly strong temper, and material advances were scored all over the list. The easier condition of the exchange market ami the practical cessation of gold exports were the underlying cause of this change in temper, but the day was marked by an absence of the late heavy pressure to sell and a dearth of rumors of a disquieting nature, which led to the inference that tho bears have coverod their shorts and are willing to see at least a moderate rally. No less waa heard of Reading than on any day for the last two weeks, but the stock was still the most active in tho market, and the transactions were largo enough for any of the late days of excitement. The next most prominent point in the list was Sugar Refineries, which, after selling at ICO, was lifted to 124, without excitement of any kind, the upward movement being steady throughout the day. The stimulating cause, for tne latter rise was found :n the development of the fact that Jlr. Havemyer had assured a stockholder that while there would be no extra dividend declared, the common stock wonld be pat upon a 12 per cent, basis. It closed only U lower than its best price with a net ' gain of 37s per cent, for the day. Distillers' and Cordage were the weak spots of the early dealings.Railroad stocks were uniformly Btrong on comparatively light transactions, and as a rule the highest prices were made at the close. Railroad bonds also developed B stronger temper and some improvement was noted in all the Reading issues as well as tho Northern -Pacific lives, but Erio seconds wer pressed for sale, dropping bejow par xor tne nrst time in montns ana closed at 90 after sales at 101. Government bonds were dull and steady. States bonds were neglected.

Trade Improving with the Milder Weather, and Prices Are Easing Up. There has been a decided increase in trade this week as a result of the leas sovera weather. Country roads, however. are still bad, which interferes with the shipment of goods more or less. Dry-goods houses are very busy, retail merchants se lecting large bills, feeling sure that the spring trade is to. be good. Root and shoe .houses, as well, aro experiencing a good trade. Grocers speak of trade as being fair. prices steady and no early breaks indicated. Coming to produce one finds poul try, eggs, butter and vegetables of all kinds easier. The quality of the fruits and ..vegetables, unless it be oranges, is rather inferior. Potatoes are small and a Rood many offered have been bitten with the frost. Unions are still in light supply. Cabbages are more plenty. The hide men report trade active, but prices steady and nnonanged. lhe iron, hardware and tin ners' supply markets are becoming more active, with firm prices ruling on all lines. - Tho grain market presents no new feattires calling for mention.

BETTER TONE TO CEREALS

May Wheat Gol Back Over tbeTGc Mark, Corn Closed at 43c and Oats 32 l-2c. Mercury Below the Freezing Point, with the Fields liare. Was Construed as Unfavorable and Stopped the Downward Trenl. TRADING AT CHICAGO. llogs Stronger and Higher, Causing Provisions to Improve Slightly. CHICAGO. Feb. 28. Tho return of unfavorable weather for wheat and for tho movement of corn cauBed the downward trend in those markets to stop. The closing prices to-day. compared with yesterday, show gains 6l sc in wheat, 4c in corn and l4o in oats. There wero moderate advances in provisions, pork being 74o higher, lard .05c and ribs .01c. It was reported below the freezing point over nearly all the winter wheat belt, with a large portion of that region bare of snow. This made shorts somewhat apprehensive, and thep? was more disposition to cover and not much pressure- to sell. It was also rumored that the cliquo had added largely to its line on the break yesterday, and a good many brokers were buying pretty freely to day. This gave the market some firmness, but on free selling by Lamson, Schwartz-Dupee and Baldwin-Farnum there was a gradual development of weakness and most of the early advance was lost. only to be regained, however, before the close. The opening was about :40 4o higher than yesterday's closing, and there was soino little excitemeqt at the start, then ruled easier, prices declining, after some slight fluctuations, ,t0 4c. ruled steady and the closing was about c higher for May and O4o higher for July. A dispatch from New York was handed around saying that Speaker Crisp had stated tbatthero would be no vote on the anti-option bill this session. Corn started with some strength, due chielly to the better tone in wheat, and May sold up a little. Later most of too gain was lost, but the market improved eorne subsequently on small arrivals estimated for to-morrow, only 15G cars. Longs in oats showed less disposition to 'sell, and shorts were the best buyers. Tho market opened stoady, declined 4c, and finally closed steady at a trifle better than yesterday. The market for hog products opened strong and higher in response to the advance of lOe to I5o at the yards for live hogs, but, owing to the lack of any outside support and some realizing on trades made yesterday, the market broke. Tbe usual reaction followed, bat there was scarcely anything done for some time. The oilermgs. however, became quite liberal and a further decline was the result, tbe packers being the prineipal sellers throughout, after which there was a fair reaction, the market closing steady. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 195 cars; corn. 150 cars; oats, 140 cars; hogs, 16,000. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Bnral New Yorker. Very few breeders of hens pay any atten tion to breedirig for the number of eggs or any other practical excellence, but rather for coloring of feathers and legs, shape of l. - I when tbey claim to breed for egg produc tion they often fail, because, iti6t. they must select tbe proper markings. If tbe breeder has two cockerels from which to select, one from tho Ren that laid tho most eggs and one from another hen, the first "oil" in marking, the other perfectly maiked, he would invariably select tbe latter; lor that from the best layer would not take a prize in a show pen. neither would it take the ordinary and popular fanciers eye. 1 he probability is, however. that not one breeder 111 a hundred would Know nicnw nen 01 a certain pen is the mother of his cockerel, and, if he did know, he might not know how good or how poor a layer she might be. Consequently, as there is no prize given and no demand for tho best layers, he selects for external appearance only. Now. the man who keeps hens for eggs only does not care whether they are true to marking or not but does want those br d to lay. the iuost eggs, and 1 think he can breed a better sot of egg machines in one seuson by noting bis best layers and setting eggs from them only, than from purchasing Iron, the aver age "reliable" breeder. Fifteen or tweuty years aco Jersey cattle were bred largely for their "solid color." "black tongues." and other external points; now tho color or a Jersey cow has little if uny weight In ascertaining her value, but the amount of butter she will make in a year is the chief point which determines it. When breeders of ponltrradnpt this system we may ad vise practical egg raisersto patronize them is living at au expensive rate in uucnoa yres.

THE

INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL DAILY, AND "WEEKLY Since the Journal reduced In price from 25 to 15 cents a week, it has greatly extended Its circulation, reaching n largo number of people hitherto unable to afford the luxury of a first-class dally paper. Reports from agents and subscribers Indicate the result which was to be expected, namely, that what was first regarded as a luxury has become a necessity, and that the new readers uof only , remain, but their list is constantly in creasing. It Is the purpose of tho Journal to moke itself even more Indispensable to its patrons, new and old, and to still further widen its field. To thiH end it will not only endeavor to maintain the characteristics which have established Its reputation as by far the best newspaper In Indiana, but will add such new features and Improvements from time to time as are in accord with Journalistic ... . . lrojrress nnd th.it may tend to, the ad-, vantage of its readers. It will, for ex-, ample, give Increased attention to State and local interests. What Indianlans "want is a paper in which Indiana affairs are given especial prominence and importance. This want the Journal has always supplied as no other paper published outside or inside the State Is ablo to do; but. the rapidly developing industries and business and social enterprisW of the community call for additional consideration and space.
