AFTEli SUGAR TEUST Fears of Investigation Cause the Shares to Take a Tumble. Professionals in Control of Business on New York Exchange Indianapolis Cereals Show Few Changes. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at lKSU per cent., the last loan being at 3 per. cent., closing offered at 23 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, TUlper cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business In bankers bills at $l.fi5U&J-&t for demand and at $-I.KU3i.83 tor sixtyday bills. Posted rates, U.SVAaiMy2; commercial bills, H813434.S2. Silver certificates, 741073c. Bar silver closed at 73"sC per ounce; at London, 31V1. Total sales of stocks were 170.900. The market was almost entirely in the hands of the professional traders on the New York Stock Exchange Monday, and the movement was Irregular, the closing prices disclosing the fact that, while the majority of the shares dealt in showed declines on the clay's transactions, not a few made an advance. The situation at Washington was not regarded as favorable to the repeal bill, and that question seems to be the thermometer by which speculative valuc3 are now measured In this market and on the London Stock Exchange as to American securities. There was, therefore, a pressure to sell at 'the opening of business, and the first prices were at a fractional decline from the closing quotations o Saturday. Sugar was the weakest stock In the list, being unfavorably affected by reports of prospective tariff changes which would be prejudical to the interests of the company on heavy sales. Ths daalings in Sugar amounted to nearly one-third of the total sales ami they were carried on under the influence" of rumors that something un-. favorable to the stock was pending, and this something was not made clear until late in the day, when the Washington adVices announced that a resolution calling for a committee of investigation of the affairs of tho American Sutrar Company had bcn Introduced in the House of Representatives. Whisky receded with the reFt of the list in the morning, but an activ buying movement was developed, believed to be on foot by Insiders who had recently sold some of their holdings and who were Induced to recover their shares by the reported starting up of the distilleries and the improved trada prospects. Heading was the third stock in point of activity. The general list recovered quickly from the depression at the opening and a faint, rally was effected, but ther? were no sustaining Influences, and quotations sagged ' back. During the afternoon the market at-large grew firmer, but the volume of business was light, and the fluctuations narrowed down, the closing being fairly steady. A majority of the shares dealt in show a decline on the day's transactions. In the bond market the dealings were irregular, but mainly tended toward lower nsjures, and. at the clos?, were distinctively weak. Government bonds were steady; State bonds were dull.

Chicago's Bold Speculator Turns About and Faces the Crowd. All Cereal?, However, Held Within tho Narrow Range of 5-Uc, While Provisions Only Varied About 15c. CHICAGO, Oct 2. -It was Pardrldge against the crowd to-day In the wheat pit. The plunger made a sudden right-about face, seemingly abandoning the bull side completely, and appeared In his old-time role as a bear of the most ferocious breed. He Is supposed to have sold short to-day not less than 2,500,000 bushels. In wheat however, and In everything else the range of prices was narrow in grain and 15c In provisions. Compared with 'Saturday night to-day's final prices show no important change. It was delivery day on October contracts, but only a little stuff went around. Wheat receipts In the Northwest, , while regarded at first glance as enormousbeing 1,292 cars were actually nearly COO cars les3 than the same points a year ago. On the other hand, there was a decrease of nearly &00.000 bushels reported in the amount Of wheat and flour on ocean passage, and the stocks of wheat and flour in Liverpool show a marked decrease since the 1st of September. Visible supply showed a large increase, but was over a million less than It was the same week last year. The market at the opening was about HftUc lower, declined He more, then recovered, prices advancing li-c, declined c for December and only Uc for May; advanced, held steadier, and the closing was the same for December and VlC higher for May than closing figures Saturday. The corn market was affected by the enormous receipts 1,181 cars where only 910 cars were expected, but the weakness was held in check by the koou shipping demand. There was some liquidation by longs and a moderate amount of short selling, but a good many shorts were taking profits, and prices kept within range, finishing a shade higher than Saturday. . In oats -there was free selling by elevator men and only a scattered demand. Prices receded Uc, but reacted VtMViC The provision market gave some Indication of the existence of a moderate shortage for October, but no one seemed inclined to change places with the shorts when they wanted to buy. Transactions only took place at widely separated intervals. Compared with Saturday's closing prices. October pork Is 20c higher and January is 12i.c up. October lard gained .05c and January improved .10c. October and January ribs advanced, respectively, .C5c and .OTc. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 310 cars; corn, 920 cars; oats, 430 cars; hogs, 15,000. There was a moderate demand for vessel room, and agents asked 2Vfec for wheat and 2Uc for corn to Buffalo, and charters were made 'at 214c, for wheat and 2c for corn.

Confidence im pretty generally expressed in the future, although the inaction of Congress continues to be a drawback to operations beyond providing for current wants. In cotton goods the tone is better, Mth fouryard sheetings selling at 4?sc; bleached sheetings at Gfci'c, and firm on scarcity. Colored cottons are more active, while low-grade cotton goods are'eomparatively neglected. In - ginghams and woven fabrics there is a fair business. Dress styles and staples are receiving considerable attention at full prices, and goods are disposed of about as fast as -received Prints and printed fabrics are sold somewhat ahead of anything. Fancies, indigo blues and turkey reds are particularly

in good demand. Print cloths and odds' are quiet but steady. The Increase in the production of print cloths, leaving the stock at 422.000 pieces, an increase of 45.000 pieces for thb week, makes no impression on the market..

One Mnn's Life Warn Saved by Hnvluff It Folded Around Ills Shoulders. The Spectator. As I observe much has been said of late about the British Hag and various attempts made to cast discredit on the Union Jack I should like to tell a story about it, which I believe to be true, and which shows that when properly used it can do excellent service. The story was told me by the guard of the Pullman car, and I believe that I give it just as I heard it: This man was the son of a clergj'man in one of the Southern States, and after the war broke out his father was forced to break up his home and send his children , adrift. My informant was then about twenty and had just finished his collsge course, and, having a turn for acting he formed a company of his friends, with which he went through the West Indian islands, acting at each in turn; and I gathered that it had answered very well. "But I don't tell you this," said he, "to exalt my own proceedings, but because I should like to let you know how well the Interests of the English were looked after at that time by their consuls In the Spanish and French islands;" and to prove this he gave me the following among other instances: When he was in Havana there was one evening a great row in the streets, and a man was killed. Every- one ran away except an Englishman, who did not see why he should run off, but stopped to see what he could do for the wounded man. The city was then, as It often was, under martial law, and in a few minutes a party of soldiers came up, walked the Englishman off. He was tried then and there by a sort of drumhead court martial, and condemned to be shot at 8 o'clock. He managed to get the news conveyed io the English consul, and at 8:15 next morning the consul appeared In his coach and four, uniform, cocked hat and sword, all his orders on, etc. The shooting partywere drawn out, and the prisoner was there, too. The consul walked up to the ofllcer commanding the party and demauded the life of his countryman. "Very sorry," said the officer, "but I must carry out my orders," and he showed a warrranf signed by the governor. "Well." said the consul, "at least you'll allow me to shake hands with him before he dies." "I cannot refuse that," was the reply, on which the consul stepped up to the Englishman, put his hand into hlj breast coat pocket, drew out a union jack, unfolded it, threw it over the man, and then said: "There, now, fire if you dare!" The lieutenant was staggered; the matter was referred to the governor, and the Englishman was saved. For Those AVlio JluJId. American Agriculturist. Too many country houses are built without apparent regard for the convenience or comfort of their future Inmates. Few have any provision for warming the upper rooms, unless possibly the "front room" may have a stove In which to light a fire when there are guests to spend the night. Instead of such insuitlcient heating accommodation, the chambers might be comfortably warmed by means of registers through the floors, with simply the surplus heat from the lower rooms. It may be healthy to sleep In a cold room, but it Is not very pleasant to make a toilet in a room where the thermometer hovers around zero. These registers may be put In after the house is built, by any one handy with tools; each eight inches by ten, costing about a dollar and a half. There should be a clothes closet opening out of each sleeping room besides an extra lare one, in which to keep bedding or clothing out of season. I find there are many houses, too, that are built with rooms of inconvenient size for carpeting. Where at all possible, rooms should be an even number of yards floor measure one way, so that It will not be necessary to turn under part of a breadth of carpet or to leave a bare space. Why cannot the country house have a bath room? Surely no one needs such a room more than the farmer and his family; yet the conveniences for bathing arc conspicuous by their absence in nearly every country house. Fit up some small room with a bath tub of metal, either tin. zinc or galvanized lro.i. connected with the. cistern by a force pump, the water to be warmed with a small single or double burner kerosene stove, and the bath water to be emptied thrugh the kitchen drain. Surely some means could be provided without great expense whereby that great luxury, a warm all-over bath, might be enjoyed in the country where there are no hot-water pipes or modern bath room with their conveniences. Klectrlcliy for Fnrniers. Grange Homes. The electrical pancrs predict great possibilities for country towns and farms through the Increasing use of electrical street roads. The Electric World says there Is nothincr in the cost that prevents the io3slblllty of making electric street railroads as common as country roads, but that changes must come in the form of the vehicles used. It says that every man could have his own electric vehicle or vehicles, so that hk could go to town whenever he pleased, carrying a load of produce for sale, and paying the company a toll for the privilege of having his wagon drawn over their tracks. Ionger hauls of produce anl the transportation of larger load. would be cf great benefit to the fattners. would add considerably to the net returns of thir farms, and in many cases Increase their value. The same current could light the farmhouse at night with the electric llfcht and could be 1 used for power on the farm for the silo, the churn, the washing machine, the saw and hundreds of other objects where power la needed. .

THE

ISDMAPOCIS ; JOURNAL IA.IL-Y SUNDAY AND WEEKLY Tho Journal's price for dailj is only 15 ccuts a week, and it ha a very, wide circulation, reaching a largo number of people hitherto unable to afTori the luxury of a lirst-clasa daily paper. Reports from agents and subscribers indicato a continued increase, and that what used to bo regarded as u luxury has becomo a necessity. Tho new readera not only remain, but they aro constantly incroasing. It is tho purpose of tho Journal to make itself even moro indispons iblo t its patrons, new and old, and to still further widen its field. To this end it will not only endeavor to maintain tha characl eristics which have established its reputation as by far tho best newspaper in Indiana, but will add such no'.T features and improvements from tim3 to time as aro in accord with journalistic! progress and that may tend to tha advantage of its readers. It will, for example, givo increased attention to Stata and local interests. What Indianiani want is a paper in which Indiana affiira given aro especial prominence an I importance. This want tho Journal hai always supplied as no other paper published outside or insido tho State is able to do; but tho rapidly doyclopiug industries and business and social enterprises of tho community call for additioaal consideration and spaco, With this :a view its corps of correspondents hn been increased until ithas a reproseatalive in nearly cvory town in thoStat3 Special traveling correspondents will visit tho news centers of tiio Stato at frequent intervals, thus insuring tho "write up" of every important event or matter of general interest Being published in the geographical center of Indiana tho Journal is afforded unusual facilities for securing news promptly, and, what is of greater consequence, is ablo to reach its subscriber without delay.
