As a Consequence the Bear Impulse Was Checked for a Time at LeastLocal Grain Inactive. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 365 per cent. Sterling exchange was dull and easier, with actual business In bankers blll3 at 4.88t44.88V4 for demand and $4.8704.874 for sixty days; posted rates, tiMQl.WW. commercial bills, $4.86'34.66USilver certificates, C8?4S59ftc. Bar silver closed at 59c per ounce. Total sales of stocks amounted to 141,000 shares. The very general Impression which now prevails that the President will veto the seigniorage bill had the effect of strengthening the Wall-street markets today, and undoubtedly checked the bear Impulses of those operators who take the short side of the market on the slightest provocation. The decline in sterling exchange rates was also an element of strength in the Fpeculatlve situation, inasmuch as It removed all likelihood of gold Bhlpment for the present. At the opening of business on the Stock Exchange a generally firm tone prevailed, and the first prices made were in the main a small fraction higher than the closing figures of Saturday. Sugar, however, was an exception, opening per cent, lower, and receding k additional, doubtless the effect of the bearish view of sugar taken by H. O. xiavemyer in a published interview. But, good buyers coming in at the lower level, Sugar quickly moved upward, gaining 1 per cent., the purchasing movement being asssisted by the announcement from Philadelphia that the appeal of the government In its suit against the. Sugar Trust had been decided against the "overnment. In the final dealings the stock lost per cent. The general market was strong in tone In the early dealings, and up to noon the tendency of prices was upward, the volume of business being at the same time very light. American Tobacco led tne advance, being in good demand on the reports to the effect that the annual statement showed that the company made proflts in excess of the twelve-per-cent. dividend on the stock. The Improvement in Tobacco continued during, the early afternoon, ' the stock touching 83 H. being 4i per cent advance on Saturday's closing price. In the last hour realizing sales caused a reaction of H. leaving a net gain of 2 on the day. In the general list a reaction took place after midday which was merely fractional, of brief duration, and was succeeded by another upward movement. In which Lake Shore was most prominent, selling up to 131, an advance on the last previous sale of 2 per cent. In the final sales a reaction of , took place. Shortly before the close Richmond Terminal preferred broke 2 per cent., and th irpnprn.1 Hat foil tft n fm r t cT hilt In ho ftnil 00 loo tlal recovery, and the market closed firmer, the leading advances on the day not already noted being: Minneapolis & St. lunula ureierreii. lonarrn nrprprrpii ivn Canada Southern and Illinois Central, IVi, and .New York & Chicago and St. Ixui3 firsts preferred and Wells-Fargo Express. 1 per cent.

Heading wiuj sold freely by a Philadelphia pool, but lost only 2 per cent, on the day. St. Paul gained ?i per cent., and was bought in round lots on Its very favorable statement cf net earnings for February. The other grangers were firmly held on small transactions. 1 he railway and miscellaneous bond market was strong throughout the day, and most of the issues dealt in show an advance on the day. The principal changes are: Advances Western Union debenture sevens of '73. registered. 3; Missouri Pacific collateral trust fives, 3. Government bonds were strong. State bonds were inactive.

Cold "Went her Checks Trnde, ivlth Flnetnatlona In Valuer Few. With the temperature near zero, spring goods are not moving a3 freely as last week, when it was broaching close on summer heat; consequently, dry-goods houses and millinery establishments yesterday had a dull trade. With grocers trade was fairly active, although but few buyers came in on the morning trains. On Commission row business slowed down somewhat, not so much for want of orders as on account of there being some risk in shipping perishable pools. Ej?gs were a shade firmer and poultry in better request, the glut in the Eastern markets having been nearly cleared. Butter is in good supply, and much of it of an Inferior quality. A good many potatoes are still selling for seed and prices are easier. Oranges are in ll?ht supply and very firm at quotations. The hide market i3 active. In raw furs and wool but little is doing. Druggists report trade Kood, and hardware men and iron dealers are complaining less.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Under the above caption the Journal of Sunday contained quotations from Mr. A. C. Kenyon criticising some of my remarks before the committee on streets and alleys at the hearing by that committee of objections to the proposed asphalt improvement of Alabama street. Evidently, Mr. Kenyon was not present to hear what I said, for had he been he would not have said of me and my statements what the Journal quotes him as having said. Since his statements place me in a false light before your readers, I ask space In your columns to set the matter before the public in its true light, lust as I stated it to the committee. I produced a publication bearing a title as follows: 'Indianapolis the Great Manufacturing Center of America, Issued by the Indianapolis Board of Trade. 134." And I read to the committee from page 10 of that publication as follows: "The following table shows the length In miles of all permanently improved streets in the city of Indianapolis completed up to date: "Miles. "Streets paved with asphalt 17.64 "Streets paved with brick 10.53 "Streets paved with cedar block 1.90 "Streets paved with macadam stone.... 2.28 "Total .32.33 "The work completed this year on the above list of Improvements is as fol lows: "Miles. Cost "Asphalt streets 7.14 $597,021.99 "Brick streets 3.42 16S,2ul.6J "Total 10.56 rS65,22S.C$ I said to the committee that, taklnp these figures, as given by our Board of Trade, they show the cost of asphalt per mile in 13 was $$3,618.34, and the cost of brick per mile $19,47C.S1. I further said that at the rate of cost per mile of asphalt, as given by the Board of Trade, the total cost of the 17.64 miles would be $1,475,027.52, and the total cost of 17.61 miles of brick would be $872,770.92: total cost of asphalt more than cost of brick would be. $602.256.. I expressly made my statements upon the authority ana irom trie ngures of the Board of Trade, and leave Mr. Kenyon to show, if he can. that the statement of the board "is absolutely untrue," as he says mine was. For myself, I believe the board's statement Is correct. Again, Mr. Kenyon Is mistaken when he says I am advocating cc-dar blocks "so strongly." I am not an advocate of cedar blocks. I much prefer the- best qualitv of vitrified brick, but am not so sclf-ophiion-ated as to insist upon my notions against a majority of those whose pockets are to be emptied and their homes mortgage! to pay for tine-haired streets paved with forHtm material. Mr. Kenyon refers 113 to l'ine anil Locust streets In Sf. Louis, and fuys they were paved with asphalt in S2, and that "those asphalt pavements are In excellent condition to-day." I respectfully refer Mr. Ktnyon to the condition of streets In Indianapolis paved with asphalt by the company he represents long slnco 1SS3. I prefer to examine our own streets, ?ind from thtm Judge of the merits of asphalt for street pavinp. HOnEIlT DENNY. Indianapolis, March 20.

WHEAT UP ONE CENT

Cold Wave Since Saturday Caused Sudden Spurt at Chicago. Other Cereals Firmed Up in Sympathy with Wheat and Provisions Closed at au Advance. CHICAGO, March 28. Wheat went up with a spurt to-day because of the enerpy the temperature had shown in going down, and the result was an early gain of lfc for May. There was free selling at the advance, however, and after a nervous, un settled session May closed He from the top. but with a gain since Saturday of lc. Corn and oats were a shade firmer, in sympathy and made a gain of about He each. Provisions ruled dull but firm at somewhat hlpher than Saturday's closing prices. The severely cold weather told with considerable effect on the wheat market. All doubts about the growing wheat having been Jointed were set at rest as soon as the market opened. In fact, from the lively leaps that wheat took at the start, the operators declared it double-Jointed. The effect of the prevailing cold weather did not affect all constitutions alike. Some of the shorts were rather Inclined to make light of it and refused to be frightened Into covering. Others, however, were thoroughly alarmed and bid from 6Sc to 59c for May, as compared with 57c sellers at tho close of the market on Saturday. It reacted to 5Sc and rose again, reaching G9c, all within the first hour. Trade during the time referred to was active, with orders from outside quarters in the South and Southwest, where the wheat was presumed to be most seriously frost damaged. The actual extent of the injury done to wheat, it was generally concluded, could not be definitely ascertained until future warm weather should reveal it. In addition to the frost scare the receipts were light. Chicago pot forty-one cars, Minneapolis 261 and Duluth nineteen. The receipts on the corresponding day of last year at the same place were, respectively, 2SS, 248 and 68. The visible supply showed a smaller decrease than the average of the previous guesses. The decrease was 1,0,000 bushels, leaving 72,163,000 bushels still in the visible. There was a decrease on the corresponding week a year ago of 812,000 bushels. It was said that the amount of wheat and flour on ocean passage to-morrow would show an Increase for the week of 2,250,000 bushels; that and the Impossibility of determining horn much, if any, damage had been done to wheat by the frost made the market rather inclined to weaken In the last hour of the session. May sold off to 6&c, but rested at ChVtrS7sc. There was no life in corn except what was Injected into it from the wheat pit. That was sufficient to add c to Saturday's closing values for a moment at the opening, but that advance could not be sustained. It dropped off to about the previous trading day's closing price, but nrmed up onoe more on the moderate estimated receipts for to-morrow and a decrease In the visible. May opened at 37c, sold off to 37c bid, and recovered again to 37V4C, closing at 37&&37Vic Oats were in fair demand and offerings were only small. This, with the firmness in wheat and corn, caused higher prices in oats. May started V4c up from the last quotations Saturday, sold at ZlMc and then. Influenced by the increase of 202.000 bushels shown in the visible supply of oats, declined to 30;S30"6C, It rallied again slightly, and when the session ended 30Tc was bid. The provision market was dull, but maintained an undertone of firmness, closing with 7I2C gain over Saturday's closing price for May pork and lard, and .(6c higher for May ribs. Lard was influenced to some extent by the premium of .20c sellers the month brought over the May delivery. J. G. Steever was a seller of pork to a moderate extent, and Sam Wolf was a buyer. Steady prices at the yards and the strength In the grain markets helped the price. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 32 cars; corn, 220 cars; oats, 168 cars; hojrs, 21,000.
