SHARE LIST SLUMPED

Trust Stocks and the Grangers Special Objects of Attack. Snirar Led the Procession Downward Despite Washington News Indianapolis Grain More Active. At New York yesterday money on call was easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper. 3fco'i per cent. Sterling exchange was firmer, with actual business In bankers' bills at K$V l-'a for demand and tl.SCtl.sG-"1 for sixty days; posted rates, J L 87 V-14.83; commercial bills, Silver certificates, Wjiytc. Ear silver closed at 53c per ounce; at Eondon, 27! .Cd. Total sales of stocks amounte.l to 1S3,00 shares. The conditions of Thursday were reversal on the Stock Exchange yesterday and of the buying of last evening no trace was to be found at the opening of business this morning-. Some reaction was natural by reason of sales to realize profits, but the offerings were too large to be ascribed to such a source. This selling movement was materially assisted by the announcement that a million and a quarter of srold had been engaged for .shipment today and to a degree by the passage of the seigniorage bill by the House of Representatives. The bears affected to regard the progress of this measure as Inimical to the stability of speculative values. The first prices made were very Irregular, but generally below Thursday night's figures. Sugar being the weakest stock of the entire list, and In the earl dealing carried the other shares t ruled In along with it in its downward course. General Electric, Chicago Ga. Cordage and New York Central also showed marked depression. A slight rally occurred shortly after 11 o'clock, which was followed by a decline. led by Lead. Sugar, General Electric and the grangers, bringing the Azures down to a lower level than before. As the market moved Into the afternoon some of the shorts began to cover and the decline brought in some buyers for the long account, which had the effect of caudrg a temporary advance, in which Lake Erie & Western preferred. New York Ontral, Sugar and Iead preferred participated most largely, the grangers showing but slight Improvement At 1:30 o'clock the upward movement received a check, and from that time to the close prices moved downward, the lowest figure of the day being touched in the final dealings. Compared with Thursday's Iot sales the closing prices show a decline ranging from 14 to l per cent. Sugar led both in the transactions and the downward turn, and vrs sold frtily by the houses which had h-cn recently the largest buyers, and this, despite apparently well-authenticated reports that the Senate was disposed to accord a fair measure of jrotecticn to the sugar refiners, caused preferred shares to drop I per cent. The weakest of the railway list was the grangers, the decline in which is from . In Northwest, to , in Rock Island. St. Paul was sold by London, doclinJnpr U&. and closing within of the worst price. The decline in liurlington is Pi. the stock linj sold by the lear traders cn the general depression rather than by reason of very special unfavorable Influences. In General Electric the chief selling was for the I Joston account. Ixvsed on rumors that the company's business prospects were not so ros;? colorel as recent semi-official statements would indicate. Tlie stock fell off V per cent Distilling was strongest of th active list, moving up In the morrJng and retaining K of the train to the close. Jead preferred, American Tobacco nnd Manhattan are down 14: Cordage and Delaware. Lackawanna & Western. 1 per cent. Some few shares show an advance on the day. which is only fractional, except for Iake Erie & Western preferred, which is 2 per cent- higher. The railway and miscellaneous bond market was firm throughout the day. Government bonds were firm. State bonds were more ccttve. The following table, prepared by James E. Perry. Room 1(1.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal. Your editorial of the 23th on the Johns Hopkins student who has made himself prominent in socialistic agitation, expresses very well what must be the popular and sensible verdict upon agitation from such a source. As a Johns Hopkins man, however, and one who has faith In the synthetic results of the scientific inquiry of that institution, I must suggest a thought which might easily be overlooked in the Judgment passed upon Mr. Swift In the first place, and without the facts at hand. It is highly probable that the professor of economics who was Mr. Swift's instructor, is not now at the university, nor has he been for some time. Whatever burden, therefore, the public would lay upon the institution should rather be Imposed upon the holder of the chair at the time of Mr. Swift's attendance. But were this done, the charge of teaching doctrines which would be seed for anarchistic fruit could hardly be entertained by any one who has felt the spirit of the Johns Hopkins University. We must rather make a large allowance for Mr. Swift's "personal equation," a factor which mav run counter to the best environment and instruction; and a complementary regard must be had for whatever Ideas and Impulses Mr. Swift obtained in Germany. Unless I am much mistaken, socialism, as taught on the continent, is a very different thing from the "socialism" of our American universities. WILLIAM PETERS BEEVES. New Orleans, Feb. 27. A CALL FOH STHAVSS WALTZES. Lens Pedantic Dignity nnd More Human Nature Aked of Concert Music. New York Evening Post What has become; of Johann Strauss in our concert halls? For several years, ever since Mr. The-odore Thomas left New York, the Viennese waltz has been shamefully neglected here. No doubt Strauss is as much played at balls as ever, but few dance hall band3 can elo justice to this charming music, which requires for its proper jerformance a first-class orchestra, like cur Philharmonic or Symphony Society. The world is so full of pedants and other persons whose interest in art is purely Intellectual and never emotional, and the suggestion that a Strauss waltz should occasionally be Introduced at a Philharmonic conce-rt would be received with a howl of astonishment. If not indignation. Yet this very sapestlon has been made by no less a man than Dr. Hans von Bulow, who once remarked: "I am very fond of a Strauss waltz, and I cannot see any reason why such a work, which Is always artl3tlc and may be classed among the best of its kind, should not be performed, from time to time, by a large orchestra in serious concerts. It would sh'e our ears a little more rest from the severity of the classics, and would act like oiive-s in preparing our palate for a fresh course." Nor i Bulow the only eminent musician who has e-xpressed his unqualified admiration of Strauss, father and son. Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer. Cherublnl and others have done this same, and Wagner wrote that a Strnusa waltz "surpasses in grace, refinement and real musical substance" the majority of the labored compositions that are placed on concert programmes. Why. then, not produce them at symphony concerts In freference to tedious four-story symphones by trarrulous fourth-rate composers? Works of art should le judged by the genius manifest dl In them, not by their duration or architectural structure. It has been said that "whereas Haydn. Mozart and Beethoven built up the symphony from dance forms, Strauss, conversely, applied the symphonic resources of the modern orchestra to his dance pieces." What living composer understands better than Strauss the art of exquisite orchestration? Who writes more piquant rhythms, more original melodies, more fascinating harmonies than Strauss? His waltzes are intended for concert halls, and they are animated by a poetic rubato, or capricious couuetry of movement which raises them far above ordinary' dance mu.oe and makes them quite as worthy of a place at symphony concerts as Chopin's waltzes at piano recitals. Let us have a little less iedantlc dignity, a little more emotion and human nature about our concerts, and good music will make more rapid strides in popular appreciation. Too much dignity is the death of art. A Morton Church. Queer Cnntoni. Boston Evening Transcript In accordance with a custom in England that the kints cabinet must retire from otfice when the sovereign himself either abdicates or dies, so that the n2w sovereign may not be hampered in any way by advLsers who might be adverse to his policy, and which has be-n adopted by the Central Consreatlonal Society in election of deacons, took place last evening, owing to a change cd pastor. The old loard vas ro-eh-eud. The deacons are J. A. Denlson. T. H. Uussoll and J. A. Bennrtt. Tho board will probably b? increased tj six mender? in the cemlng fall. The custom Is iKdleved to l" unique in the church governr.uitt Cencxeatlonal church. s, and was brought about by a church quarrel back In the nftles, when two or three deacons belongs! to a minority which wanted to be rid of the pastor. In order to prevent future disturbance of this nature on account of combative deacons, it was agreed that all the deacons should annually vacate with a. chance of castors.

WHEAT UP AND DOWN

Bulge of 34c Wiped Out and the Close Was Weak at a l-4c Loss. Heavy SeMingon Reported Engagements of Gold for Export Played Havoc with Chicago Bulls. CHICAGO, March 2. Wheat went lip with a rush and down with a thud to-day, finishing Uc lower for May after a bulge of vie. The early advance was due to better ca-ble-s, the prospects of a cold wave and good buying, while free selling and the discouraging export outlook was responsible for a lc decline later. May closing but ic from the bottom. May corn closed lie higher. May oats were unchanged and provisions lower all round. Among one or two items in thi early news of a bullish character was one of a somewhat different complexion, nd the latter gave the wheat market its opening drift The Liverpool market was called firm with an upward tendency at ic advance for spot wheat The receipts here and In the Northwest were comparatively light, but New York wired that a banking firm there had arranged to ship $l,50,0u0 gold, and some long wheat was rushed upon the market as soon as opportunity aff orded. Leopold Bloom, who had rebought yesterday some of the wheat and sold out on Wednesday, was the leader of a little gold panic with which the wheat market opened. He sold through Clark-Catlln and others about 503,00) bushels, it was reported, within a few minuter of the start. The buying orders were such that a good deal over three or four times the quantity sold out for Bloom was absorbed In the time named, and the cry was still for more. More could not be had at the then prevailing price, so bids were advanced. From 60a9c and C0Vc, which vas the range during the iirat few minutes, the price shot up to Giic, and a little later to 60-4c. A prediction of colder weather gave additional strength to the market, and before the wings of the budding enthusiasm could be clipped the price of May wh?at had advanced to Ga'8cfa61c. There was a radical change after that due principally to Eastern advices reporting the impossibility of making sales of wheat abroad at the rates now current here and May dropped lc. The spring wheat markets of the Northwest maintained the lirm tone which had so long distinguished them and rent dispatches regarding an Improved demand for Hour export which, It was claimed, they were now experiencing, but export clearances were not more than half what was reported yesterday from the four principal Atlantic ports, and primary market receipts, as a whole and in comparison with the shipments from the same, were quite heavy. The Western markets usually quoted received 2S3.000 bushels and shipped &5,U bushels. Shaking the whole of the above matters up togother, the trade apparemtly concluded that it was more promising for lower than for higher prices, and accordingly sold May wheat until it was down to 60VdC. The price declined to ZQc for a moment, and the closing rate was Cue bid. More life was displayed in the market for corn, a very fair trade taking place within a wider range of prices. The sentiment displayed was decidedly bullish, and a very fair market was witnessed, with the offerings all day on the restricted order, and at no time liberal. The demand, was good and the limited offerings appeared to bring In a good many small orders, the filling of which stimulated value. To-day's receipts did not come up to expectations, and, aided by this, the market opened at yesterday's closing prices, and under an . urgent demand and limited offerings sold up with very little reaction 1'"'ic, eased back 4c with the later decline In wheat, ruled steady and close! with May about midway between the day's top and bottom figures. In oats there was a moderate trade and a ilrmer feeling, prices averaging higher, but after an advance of Vic the close was from about the same prices to a trliia easier than yesterday. The- market follower! wheat In Its fluctuations and May closed at the bottom. Continued liberal receipts of live hogs at the yards and in excess of the e-stlmates, with a further decline In prices for them, were re-sponslble for a weak and lower opening In provisions. Prices fluctuated within a moderate range during the first hour of the session, with the tendency downwards on some of the private warehouses selling and a few stop loss orders coming in. The volume of trade was light. Later on tho market ruled weak and lower on slightly Increased offerings. Some covering by the short Interest subsequentlv CHiised a moderate reaction in pork and ribs, with lard ruling steady all day. There was, however, very little trading. Compared with last night May pork is ISc lower. May lard .OVfec lower and May ribs .UTViC lower.

ANOTHER MYTH SHATTERED.

Tlie Prince of AVnIen Xot the Lender of Fnahlon In Eneinnd. New York Sun. The news that the Prince of Wo!s appeared recently in evening dress in a coat which was the color of claret has had a imarkable effect upon the largi contingent of men to whom the vagaries of fashion are of absorbing moment The theory th.it the Prince of Wales is the leader of fashlor. in England prevails only in America. He is a short, pudgy little man, with nothlnz inproachlng a figure, and he is exoee i'ngly conservative in his attire at all t.mes. None of the oddities of fashion which occasionally gain a momentary sway over the London swells is followed by the Prince of Wales. If he has any influence at all it is of a conservative and restrictive nature. The men who lead the fashion are very well known to the London tailors, who bid eagerly for the privilege of dressing them. Th?re are a dozen or more of these dandles in the Guards Club, and they are mostly military officers of rank, though not as a rule, men of titla. Each one has a certain following in the other clubs, and the band of welldressed men who may be Eern any day going along Pall Mall from one club to another so closely resemble their leader that any one of them could pose as a model for the tailor. A London authority In these matters compiled n list once in the Referee, which is distinctively a sporting paper, read by "noblemen and gentlemen" on Sunday morning, of the men whose influence practically guided the London world of fashion. There are upward of ninety names on the list These men. who dress precisely alike, have undoubtedly given the keynote to the tailor. About tho time that light frock coats and high hats achieved great prominence among sporting personages the entire racing contingent of swells from the London clubs turned u; on the first day of Ascot dressed in black frock coats, black hats and dark trousers. Their attire wras precisely similar to that of the regulation dress of the loungers in Hyde I'ark in the afternoon. All the outsiders wore racing clothes of the latest pattern. This one display of sober attire by the actual leaders, however, killed tho fashion of light racing clothes for all time. It is said that the Prince of Wales wore a snuff colored frock suit that day. the swells having failed to notify him of their sudden chance of front This would seem to dispose of the idea that the Prince of Wales leads the fashion in Great Britain. SXOW IX 3IA1XE. Old Inhnhitnnla Imlulfre In Remtnlncencod of tho Winter of 181.'!. Lewiston Journal. Thera was a full bench of cross-roads philosophers gathered in the store and i.stolfice at the Corners the other evening. The "pestiferous snow" wa3 the subject to which they Ka3 attention. Solomon Growles, who had Just come In from a day's chase of a fox, with snowshoes and gun, declared with more solemnity than usual to him. "Snow's mor'n forty foot deep over on the back side of Smith's hill; I can swear to that, fer I've measured it" "That's party deep for hereabouts," put In old Elijah Scammon, In his softest tones; "but It can't hold a candle to what I saw in 1S13 up north of Brassua lake. That winter our tote road for mor'n a quarter of a mile ran through a notch 'tween two purty gocd hills that come up clost together. Mebbe the sides of that notch was about 20) fet higher'n the road. Well, on the 23d day of February ihere came a storm that lasted thrc-e days. Yer never saw it snow so in yer life, an' the wind blew Jest orful. Whrn it was over we dug out f camp and went otit ter break out the tote road, an' I'm blamed f the snow wasn't so deep down whar the notch was that we couldn't find the plac2 or them hills at all. It wa? all smooth snow, level, all over 'em, an when we came out in the spring they hadn't come In sight yet That was 'bout the deepest snow I ever saw." "Yaas, I shouldn't wonder 'f 'twas," said Solomon, meekly, while the laugh went 'round. A Child' Summer DresN, Harper's Bazar. A little rrirl needs ten or twelve dresses. Get two or three of brown linen strictly for morning wear. This wears and washes beautifully, and shows the dirt less than any other material. It can be bought f-r 25 cents a yard, and three yards v.Iil mike a dress, and a sash of the same put in from the seams under the srms. Make it very simple, with a short yoke and full sleeves. The samall red and white, and blue and white check ginghams at 23 ents a yard make nice morning dresses, made in the same simple v:ay. Very pretty percales can be bought at 12 cents a yard. They wash well, and come in pr-tty blue and pink stripes and dots and little ilowered patterns. Made with a waist either full or plain, extending about throe inches be!ow the armholes, and with ruilles of the s i me material cut cn the bias, nn 1 edged with a little narrow emlroidery, starting from the middle of the wal.st In front and going over the shoulder, they make a very pretty and reasonable dress for either morning or afternoon. It is nice to have four of this kind; three yards of material make one. If you want It a Utile more dressy make tlie ruflle entirely of whito embroidery three or four Inches wide, and vary the pattern by puttinjr the rufile around Instead cf bringing it to a point frent and back. India linen at 20 cents a yard, cr nainsook, for the same price, makes nice white dresses,. These can be made to wear with guimpes if preferred. Cut the waists- low-necked, and put a deep ruffle of embroidery to fall all around the neck, and a short puff sleeve to the elbow. A yard and a half cf embroidery Is required to trim In this way. Great bargains can often be found In remnants. A small-dotted musdin makes a pretty change, trimmed with lace instead of embroidery; but the lace rarely looks well after a few washings. Simplicity is the principal thing to remember, for It sxves In money, time and washing, and the child will look twice as well. A short doublebreasted coat made of French flannel for every -day wear is a very lmir:ant thing. This cannot be lought much ur.Jr $1.5.) and looks nice, but can be rnad with one end a half yard cf Manned at 73 cents a yard. A fire brown and white strlie is a servicable color, and the rreat advantage of the French flannel Is that it washes s well. A test coat Is a-so ne?ded. Very often one lis Just the rhd.t material in a dress that is no longer of us. A coat can quite erKily be cut frcm the skirt of a (lark red or blue or white srge dress.

DUN'S VIEW OF THADE

Seems to lie Taken Through WallStreet Spectacles. Uradstreefs Summary Shows Improvement in Certain Sections, with JIanler Times in Others, NEW YOltK. March 2.-IL G. Dun & Ca's weekly review of trade says: With no more definite Information than a week ago rega riling the oute-ome of financial or revenue disputes, perhaps more r-ople have come to the belief that the end will answer their wishes. Certainly rather more are taking limited risks in. business, especially In stocks, A substantial bais is the slowly grooving tlemand for goods caused by gradual exhaustion of stocks held by dealers, and this has further enlarged the working force in manufactures. More work have resumed or increased hands or hcura than have stopped or reduced, but numerous reductions in wages continue to lessen th purchasing power of those at work. Th demand from distributors Is almost exclu sively for medium or low-prlcel woolea and cotton goods, for one-dollar and-a-hall rather than three-doliar boots, and for shoe's rather than boots. Some salesmen and traders find Indications that stocks ot the higher-priced goods remaining on hand are much larger than usual. The bankers Judge that much of the demand for commercial loans is virtually for renewals to carry unsold stocks. Sharp reductions ia Indian Head sheeting and Amosktig tickings cause larger trading, but print cloths, are accumulating and weak, nd several mills of imt-ortance have bc?n closed. In all branches of the woolen manufacture th demand is yet far below the usual market, but it is somewhat Improved In worsteds and dress goods, and leading mills hava been taking wool quite largely, so that ia three chief markets the sales have be n 4ts.2.i0 pounds fcr the week, against 19:,2A last year, in part because scarcely any foreign wool has been imported for months and suppllfs are short. Western markets are also broader without improvement in price. Continued weakness appears In prices cf metal products, notwithstanding some increase in actual business. Flttsburg oftVra steel bars here at $1.15, plates $1.25 at tidewater and be-ams dellvereed here at $1.55. Moderate orders for cast pipe have been placed and some large structural contracts with others expected. Even hi the Pittsburg region little over half the forc is employed, nnd only 57 ier cent of the Con nellsvllle coke ovens are yet in operation A few more furnaees are in blast Semi hern pig Is weaker, and five thousand tons Southern warrants have leen taken by English holders, who now have 45,iJ ton. There are heavy transactions In lake ora at llttsbtirg. and it is said that with ore at $2.75, coke at S5 cents and wages reduced 20 per cent many furnaces can make Iron at a profit even at present prices. Minor metals are weaker, tin in part because of tlie fall in silver and disorganized Eastern exchanges, and lead because of expected legislation. Shipments of boots nnd shoes from Doston show a decrease of only & per cnt for the week, which is the test for a ion time and there is more buying, but almost exclusively of medium or low-priced goods. Receipts and exiorts of wheat for tr week have been only about half last year'H. while there Is a great increase both In re celpts and in exports of corn, but scarcely any change is seen In price-s of these o other products. Cottcn receipts for the we.de are still slightly alwve last year's. Ths fall in sUver and the closing of some mills hinder a rise In prlczs. Hallway tonnage from Chicago was bui 21 per cent less than last year, against per cent for February- Im;orts of merchandise still show a decrease cf 40 per cent, while exports of dome-stlc products for three weeks are 5 per cent larger than last year. The buying power of the peopU Is necessarily restricted, with many worki idle and wages much reduced and apprehensions for the future cause general e-ccrv-omy. The most encouraging feature of tha week's record is the continued decrease in, number and importance of failures. For the third week of February liabilities thus far reported are only $2,fcV5,"4rt. and for three weeks of the month only $11,420,418, of which $3,015,M7 were of manufacturing and $G.21,6&:i of trading concerns. The numlwr reiorted in February was 1,1 M, r. gainst 2.CSC in January, and the full liabilities were probably less than $13,0" m.ox). against $,- 946.497 In January. In Novemler and Iecember the amount exceeded $,On0.H). For the past we?k tho failures have ben 261 In the United States, against 2i last year, and 42 In Canada, airalnst 43 last year, scarcely any being of much Importance. Ilrndnt rcet'n Trade Summitry.

Memphis, Mobile, Chicago, St Iuls. Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee, St 1'aul and Duluth all report evidences of distinct improvement. The general industrial situation Is both better and worse. There are thirty resumptions of factories reported contrasted with two shut-downs. Wages have been reduced at thirteen establishments and fifteen strikes ar? announced. The latter is a feature, noticeably at Paterson, J., where 2..0 s'llt weavers have struck for hlpher wacea at a time when thousands are receiving aid from the citizens' relief committee.
