CAUGHT IN A CORNER

Boars in Sugar Trust Shares j Given an Awful Squeeze. The Price Worked from 88 to Par and Then Hack to 901-2 Indianapolis Grain Dealers Apaiii Tired. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper. 5ft5 per cent. Sterling' exchange was quiet and steady, with actual business In bankers' bills at $4.SSU-ft.Wi for demand and at $1.874.874 for sixty days; posted rates, commercial bills, $1.66?i4.Sfi?. Silver certificates, Z,araZ)tC. Bar sliver closod at 50c per ounce; at London, 27,,d. Total sales of stocks amounted to 2-77,200 shares, of which 1S2.C00 were American Sugar. A very sharp corner was turned on the Stock Exchange, yesterday, and in getting around it several speculative ouflts were badly damaged and narrowly escaped total disaster. There was nothing In the Quiet, orderly opening of business that presaged the exciting events which occurred within three-quarters of an hour. As was to be expected, the first prices made were below yesterday's figures, and Sugar, which had mad the greatest advance, showed most weakness, opening at a decline of per cent. Some holders of the stock started to take profits, and a few timorous bears sold on the falling market, bringing the price down to 1$. Then, by eighths and quarters, the price of Sugar moved up gradually to 93. Meanwhile, the short Interest was covering cauUously, for there was nothing in the situation affecting Sutrar to account for this abnormal rise, save the heavy buying which came from all around the pool, and It was not unnatural to expect a break at any moment. Uut the !meV.a'1.bliy,nB' stf orders were met with which had been executed, swellf.l i vVlume of purchases. Then it i !5?,2?.awn n.th- Elated shorts that ?7n was ,n Prws. and they E?ni i 4n tC huy on l,est terms they could. Now came the climax, and, movrh J r Ct?h at a tIme- was touched. 2al h,sUme belnS intense. Par lators of the corner had set to themselves. ?m h-L,y to M was quickly made. All this had been accomplished before 11 o'clock ff 9b7 nJ?f,n' ,when the had dropped died on a l j?"1,0 l eitement had cieu out. During the afternoon the detlrsr O'Oteadlly.ndTn00 l?t2 adi S r,"cedKi to closing at 90i. fh ,ii e,of ? lwr cent- from the best of in Y-i lc?vln ly a gain of a; per cent on the day's transactions. Sugar preferred KoflT,n ,lECl1 of H percent" to R. sold up to 92, reacting to &9i. It wis ofrSr(Slsh0anrf 5reet lat a fc'arshor? or -.uw shares of Sugar common was forced Kn't611 at V)0' and that olher short contracts were settled at the same figures FhZSJi 13 that ho9 who were short of the Ftock were for the moment at the TTCL0fc thmanipuIators of the deal at! had to sue for terms. The Keene clique is given the credit for the operation, which ?v0Ke 5 Ihe neatest engineered on the stofk board in some time. The general market opened a fraction lower, and In the early dealings the active Nashville, while Lead broke 2 per cent huS, ruec2vtrfHl hHlf the Joss, the other shares rece1ed also making a partial rally. The experience of the shorts in Sugar rendered them timid, and they betran to cover their lines generally, which caused an appreciation In values all round, the industrials showing most largely in the advance, notably Chicago Gas, Distilling and Lead. Yestern Lnion was also prominent in the Improvement, which ranged from K to 1 Per cent. With the break in Susar, the rest of the industrials and the railway list become heavy and a reaction occurred in which most of the advance was wiped out The speculation during the afternoon was weak In tone, and except at about 1 o'clock when an upward turn was taken, the tendency was toward a lower range of values The dealings were irregular in the last hour, but in the main heavy, and thetmarket closed weak, with a majority of the active list MHtfe per cent, lower than at the close Monday. Some few shares show a fractional advance on the day. and Iake Erie & Western preferred and St. Paul preferred are up lVi and 1 per cent., re8pK?tlvely. The railway and miscellaneous. bond market was strong all day on a large volume of business. The most Important changes - in prices are. Advances Erie seconds, 2' Chicago & Erie firsts, Louisville &' Nashville general sixes, Mohle & Ohio new sixes each 1 per cent. Declines Peoria & Eastern firsts, Detroit & Chicago extension firsts, each 1 per cent.; Peoria Decatur & Evansville seconds sold at 25, against 22 on Feb. 15. Government bonds were firm.

It was an off daj on the wholesale streets yesterday. The heavy rains of the morning prevented the usual number of merchants coming In on the earlier trains. More especially was this dullness noticeable at the dry-goods houses and milllntry establishments. So Hrge a pr cent, of the grocery houses' business Is done on orders snt in by traveling salesmen the weather do'S not govern business to the extent that It does 1 many linea. In prices there were no Important chiinres. In soma lines of dry cood

easier prices rule, but no marked declines. Paints and oils are firmer. Staple groceries are carrying an unusually steady tone. Not for months have changes in values In the grocery line been so few as In the last thirty days. The local flour market is fiat, prices being lower on all grades than at any time In years. On Commission row and with the produce houses the same prices ruled as on Monday. Oranges are not as plentiful, and prices are firmer, but not quotably higher. Receipts of eggs are much larger and prices weakening. It Is thought before another week rolls around shippers will be paying but 10 to 11 cents. The local grain market seems to have dropped back much into the same rut of that before the reduction in grain rates. Thl3 is due as much to unsatisfactory prices East and the larjre stocks still held there as to the lukewarmness of local shippers and dealers. Track bids yesterday ranged as follows: Wheat No. 2 red.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Mayor Denny is to be congratulated, with all others who have contributed to the "placing" of our city bonds at so favorable a rate. As the bond business goes, they have done well, but is there not a better way? Wo pay 4 per cent, on thsse bonds and more on some other bonds, but we can get all we want not only for our city but for our county and State at a lower rate, and at the same time distribute our interest among our own people, if we will only exercise the business shrewdness in public affairs that successful business men do in their personal Investments. We have at home twic? the amount of unemployed capital that would be needed to take up all the State, county and municipal bonds in the State, which would be only too plad to seek Investment in such good securities at less than 4 per cent, if It was properly applied for. Much of this idle capital finds temporary and profitable investments in our building and loan associations, exempt from' taxation, but subject to some psrils which militate against that method; and much of it is dejKisited in banks where it brings no Interest, or at the most very little. All of this money would prladly ko into bonds at less than 4 per cmt. if only a few conditions were compiled with. In the first place, by a general law it should be provided that, having accepted and used the money, no Stat2 or municiIality should ever repudiate the debt on account of some real or supposed Irregularity in the proceedings by which the bonds are issued. This could easily be provided for so as to at once protect the debtor and the creditor. Debtors that higgle about their own papsr are not honest. Second These bonds should, like United States bonds, be exempt from taxation. In other words, the taxes on them should be recouped in advance, as the taxes are on government bonds, making these the only investments in the country that pay taxes everywhere and always up to their full value. Five per cent, is the lowest interest rate in the business world on good security. The government gets its money at this minimum rate, but it recoups 2 per cent., the average tax rate, and pays to the bondholder the balance, thus making sure the taxes. Evcrj' State and municipality should be equally shrewd. In a small way we are. Take an order to our county treasurer and he pays it promptly, but he first takes out the taxes owed by the payee. Our School Board has lately bought some valuable real estate, issuing five-per-cent. bonds for much cf it; besides it has a large bonded debt, at the same or a higher rate. Possibly not one-half. If any, cf these bonds will ever be listed for taxation certainly not one of them which may be owned out of the State, as most of them are likely to be. What Is probably true of our school bonds is certainly true of our city bonds. We get no taxes from them not a dollar. Now, the remedy is easy. It requires but a little legislation: first, as above suggested, to prevent any State or corporations pleading the baby act when pay day comes, and repudiating an honest debt, and, secondly, by exempting all State, county and municipal bonds from taxation that Is. bv collecting. the taxes in all cases in advance, recouping them when the interest is paid, thus making sure of taxes on millions of money now wholly untaxed: for not one cash dollar in a hundred now pays taxes. To accomplish this let the State, the county and the municipalities issue bonds In the denominations of $30 and multiples thereof, bearing 3 63-100 per cent, interest, payable annually or oftencr, and let these be on the market so that men and women of small savings can buy them. They would be so much in demand that from the beginning banks would so absorb them that small Investors would have to pay a premium for them, while the city, or the count v or the State would j?et Its money at a less rate than that now paid, and the interest would be paid to our own people instead of being paid to the depositors In the New Eneland savings banks, which now own most of our bonds. It is because these bonds are untaxed, through soma hook or crook, where they are taken, that they are sold at 4 per cent. Why should we not exempt them from taxation here, and thus bring New England savings banks to our own doors, and pay our interest to our own people? We tax the bonds out of our own State or Into concealment, and then pay a higher rate of Interest on them through our want of sound business sense. Let us collect

taxes on our loose moneys py selling un- . - V, . 1 f- TT . . -. - taxed bonds at S.C5. U. L. SEE. Indianapolis, March. 5. Root Fun sun. Meehan's Monthly. We have already stated that, as a result of our actual experiments, made many years ago, and recorded at the time in horticultural journals, the writer ascertained positively that the disease called the yellows in the peach vas caused by the wcrk of fine cobwebby spawn of a mushroom, which proveil to be Ajrarlcus melleus, which attacks the root of the peach trte. It not only attacks tht? peach particularly, but has almost an eiual fondness for other plants, among which the Norway spruce and the white pine may be especially named. The same, or similar disastrous results on the foliage, can be obtained by planting the sniwn of the fungus around white pine and Norway sprjoe ns around the peach. Its disastrous eftect on the growth and leaves of plants are pretty nearly as well known now in the old worlt as It ought to le In America. Dr. Dyer hns now discovered that another species of mushroom or toad-stool, called Agarlcus squarrosus, has the some disastrous effect on tros as Agarlcus melleus. Its pernlc'ous influence, however, he says, is not generally so rapid as the other, as the mycelium Is not nearly so well developed a structure. It. however, appears to work on the apple rather than the peach, so far as has been observed In the old world.

WHEAT .RECUPERATES

Owing: to the Number of Friendly Operators at Chicago. ilaj Fntnros Closed at an Advance of 3-8c Over Monday Provisions Were Lower All Around. CHICAGO, March 6. Wheat mustered a f?v additional friends to-day and gained a little step toward recovery from its long Illness. May closed with COUc bid, compared with 59?4e at the end of yesterday's session. Corn and oats were firm in anticipation of smaller receipts, and provisions were lower, apparently because the packers were in accord In their desire to s53 them so. Wheat, at the opening, was about the some as yesterday's closing, to 4c hlgh?r. and advanced lc held fairly steady, closing about 'c higher for May and c higher for July. The advance was attributed to the firmer cables, the prospects of a cold wave over the unprotected wheat belt and good buying. It was claimed that some of th? local operators had gone to the bull side. The export clearances showed up fairly well and cables were better. Th? Eastern, European, South American, Indian and American loadings last week aggregated 1.719,000 bushels less than needed by importing countries. Bradstrcet's stocks, too, helped the market some. The flcrures showed an aggregate decrease of 4.783,000 bushels. In corn there was pretty good buying at times, led by Patton Brothers, and offerings at no time were free. Prices ke-r within narrow limits, the entire range for ths day being but ,4c The buying was no doubt lnlluenced plnclpally by prospective smaller receipts owing to wet weather. The close was He hlsmer than yesterday. Oats advanced liMic over yesterday's close, but reacted VsVo and closei steady at VkUo higher than yesterday. The strength was largely attributed to the Jsood demand for cash lots, the advance in wheat and corn and to the good buying. Provisions opened steady at yesterday's final figures, but speedily became weak end lower in the absence of any support, and th decline In prices of live hogs at the yards, notwithstanding the fact that the receipts were fairly one-third less than estimated. A fair volume of business was transacted, and the impression prevailed that there was some unloading of long pork. Pork, compared with last night, is 20c off, lard .OTc, and ribs .05c. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat. 50 cars; com. 2G0 cars; oats. 130 cars; hogs, 25,000. Leading futures ranged as follows: Open- HIerh- Low- ClosArtlcles. ing. est. est. ing.
