Ofilce 3 South Meridian Street CAPITAL, $1,000,000 STOCKS INFLUENCED By Humors as to the Fate of the Seigniorage Bill. Cleveland Gives Wall Street a Hint to Keep Its Oar Out Indianapolis Grain Dull and Lower. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 2H25 per cent. Sterling exchange was dull, with actual business in bankers bills at KSSTi 1.80 for demand and at Jl.S7-J4,ft 4-S7i for sixty days; posted rates, $i.SSft LMft; commercial bills, LS6iji.G3i. Silver certificates, GSTc. Bar silver Closed at MUc per ounce; at London, 271. Total sales of stocks reached 171,0"O shares. Although not altogether a controlling1 Influence of the speculation on the Stock ExChange, the fate of the seigniorage bill is full of interest to the street, and operators for both lon; and thort accounts trade on their respective theories as to 'the probable action of the President. The dispatch received from the executive chamber Tuesday evening by the Chamber of Commerce committee appointed to present the memorial adopted against the signing of the measure, advising that they should not go to Washington, was taken by one section of the operators to mean that inasmuch as the reason had been reached to veto the measure it was unnecefsary for the committee to make the Journey. On the other hand. It was suggested that the President, having decided to sign the bill, desired not to speak to tho committee. Beth sides agreed that Mr. Cleveland had either made up his mind to the course to pursue, or wished to arrive at a conclusion without the assistance of the New York financiers. A belief In a veto caused a buying movement during the morning, while in the afternoon the early purchasers became sellers. There were other factors besides the seigniorage bill which affected special stocks and sympathetically the entire market. The Sugar people profess to regard the sugar schedule of the Senate tariff bill with only little less favor than they accepted the House bill, and assert that It does not give any material protection to refiners. As a consequence, the bears In the Sugar company's shares nre assisted by this this argument In hammering down prices. Iteports wtre circulated to the effect that certain prominent Senators have stated that the tariff bill, as it shall pass, is certain to make sugar free, but "the common stock, after an early break, recovered all but a fraction of the loss, while the preferred made a slight gain. Pending the conclusion of negotiations in progress between representatives of the distilling and distributing companies, the speculations In Distilling are contracted. The uncertainty which prevails as to the outcome of the conference naturally restricts the buying and the bear traders are not anxious to put out long lines of stock lest they be swamped in u. loom manufactured out of a possible agreement between the rival Interests. A covering movement in Uurllngton & Qunlcy was the moving power In the appreciation in this stock, but despite early purchases of St. Paul for the London account, the later selling reduced the advance in the common to but the preferred made an advance of 1 per cent. In Chicago Gas a trueo seemeu to nave uean agree on uy tne op posing factions, the tluctuatlons being with In x per cent, and the closing at Tuesday': final sales.

So pprlngllko has the weather been that dry-goods houses and millinery' establishments have done a good business. Millinery men say it was never better. Grocers are enjoying a brisk trade. Some staple articles are easier in tone. Canned goods and stocks of dried fruits are well reduced. Considerable Is doing In the salt fish line. Leather dealers and bardware men say that business has Improved the last few days. On Commission row merchants talk much more cheerfully, and the amount of goods they are shipping seems more like that of the better times of the past.

Philadelphia Record. Nitrogen Is a very plentiful substance, composing about 80 per cent, of the atmosphere, but its tendency to break loose from Its combinations and the dlillculty of combining the free nitrogen of the atmosphere with any other substanco renders It, so far as Its availability to the farmer is concerned, a very costly fertilizer, its price being about 17 cents per pound. Tlio farmer tmrehrixes It n.s nn t?nT.t l..n t of ammonia, nitrate of roda, and in othe forms, but he has it within his power to derive it from the atmosphere by growin g those erons th.it have the sm.illest ten dency to appropriate nitrogen through the agency of the roots and leaves. The leguminous plants clover, beans, peas, vetches, sjmfoin, etc. are of the "nitrogen catchers." as Is sometimes applied to them, clover being a general crop on all farms where Improvement of the soil is desired. Clover is a biannual, and Is seldom used for restoring fertility when the object is to do th? work quickly, as peas and oats rnay be sown and turned under when nearly matured. The best plants for the purpose, however, is tne cow pea, which very nearly approaches clover In compos tlon, but grows quickly, the seed bein sig sown or PianuM 1:1 .May ana the cio turned under in July or August, accordin to the rapidity of, its growth. About sl pecks of seed are used for an atcre. if drilled In so as 10 aomu or cuitlvatlo but if the land Is well prepared the sh may be broadcasted, more eed !eing us ih-m fnf ilrilliri-v The cow re:t lit ru.i 1 a bean) 1 stocky in grow th, has an abun dance or leaves an-i crowas me weeds out It Is usually plowed under Just as the peei ptxls are bu'lnning to form, at which stag of its Krowth it Is also cut for hay by thos who grow It for that purvse. If allow ei to rlin seed It becomes hard and woody thoiikrii the sods are valuable. Experiments show that as much as 150 pounds oi nitrogen per acre may be added to the sod with a crop of cow peas, eoulvab nt to over ?25 worth of nltrocen. whl!e tho shading of the soil by the vines increases the amount of humus an! lessens ti e number of wvds.

Cow peas are almost a fuiv crop, while clover may not catch" well. The plant is worthy of experiment In this section, especially fur Its rapid trowlii und value for plowing under.

GOT A FROST SCARE

Wheat Influenced by a Predicted Drop in the 3Iercury. Small Advances in Grain. Howcvpr. Were Not Well Maintained Provisions Up. CHICAGO. March 21. A frost scare was the Alpha and Omega of the day's Influ ence in the wheat pit It advanced the price of wheat 'ic per bushel for a time, but there was a bare gain at the clo.e. Corn made a ',ic advance and lost it again. Provisions -were firm, and secured larger portion of the day'3 advance. Wheat opened with a pood general demand for May a shade higher than It closed yesterday. The weather for the season of the year was extremely cold In some sections. The fear of perhaps 15 or 20 degrees of frost spreading down Into the wdnter wheat belt caused some covering: of short wheat and advanced May in about twenty minutes from CSc, at which It opened, to SSUS'sC New York sent a good many orders to buy in short wheat. II. V. Lester led in the buying at the opening:, and took perhaps 1,000.000 bushels in the first fifteen minutes of the session. Other commission houses were also fairly well supplied with similar orders, but th first batch having been executed, the market settled down Into quietude at around ZSVsHjSMc When tho weather-service prediction of a cold wave for the greater part of the winter wheat region to-morrow changed the character once more of the chorus In the pit, the voices of the bulls again began to predominate. The price began to rise, and GSc was registered for May on this second bulge. Then the local crowd having loaded up early in the day, seeing no frost on the windows of the trading hall and hearing of no fresh cash business, commenced to unload, and the price got back again to 58c for a moment, and closed with sellers at The corn market at tho opening was about steady at the same price it closed on the preceding afternoon. The strength in wheat helped It somo after that, and then came estimates for another day's small receipts and a demand in the sample market was the cash offerings In excess of the supply. T. M. Baxter, SchwartzPupeo and Ramsey-Light ner were among the more noticeable buyers, and PartlettFrazler the chief sellers. The market eased ofC with wheat toward the close. Oats opened a shade easier, but shortly afterwards when sljrns of strength became noticeable In corn the market rallied and was slightly firmer during the greater part of the rest of the session, but closed at last nlght'9 figures. The provision market was strong at higher prices. The quantity absorbed by yesterday's purchases left the market quite bare. The demand continuing, and the offerings being light, the advance, under the circumstances, was held, as , matter of course. Paldwdn about the middle of the session began to buy ribs, and took about 1.000,000 pounds, and Peasley took about H'O.OoO pounds. Compare1 with last nlKht. May pork Is 10c hlprher.
