The speculation on the Stock Exchange was confined almost entirely to Xew York trading.

Tht movement In this stock was mainly due lo the covering of short contracts. Distilling fell off i in the owning trades. as the effect of Judge Gibbon's decision ordering the trial on its merits of the suit against the company under the Illinois anti-trust law.

A new feature in serious magazine illustration Is the story of the emigrant told In pictures by Andre Castrdgne in the Century. Ills life in the old world, his departure from the old home, his arrival at the new, and his development under favorable conditions are well set forth. A fine portrait of Matthew Arnold forms the frontispiece of the number. The early literary efforts of great men are not always entertaining, but John Nlcolay presents some hitherto unpublished efforts in prose and verse of Abraham Lincoln which have a peculiar and almost pathetic interest when the limitations of that great man's educational opportunities are considered. On the occasion of a visit to hts early Indiana home, long after he had left it, he wrote a long poem, of which these are the opening stanzas: My childhood's home I see again, And sadden with the view; And still, as memory crowds my brain. There's pleasure In it, too. O Memory! thou midway world 'Twlxt earth and paradise. When? things decayed and loved ones lost In dreamy shadows rise. And, freed from all that's earthly vile, Seem hallowed, pure and bright. Like scenes in some enchanted isle All bathed in liquid light. The other contributions to the number are of the usual variety and interest.

3IERCUEIAL MARKETS

Wheat Was Unstable and Made Some Alarming Jumps. An Early Drop of ll-8c Quickly Followed by 2 3-lc Advance and a Collapse of 1 3-4-c Later Pork Is Lower. . CHICAGO, April 6. It was a wild, uproarous day i.i the wheat pit. First there was a drop of lc in May, then a series of jumps until it had advanced 24c, and later a sudden collapse of la4c, with. In the end, a gain of Vc since yesterday's close. Spreaders who had ben working on the expectation of July going to a premium of 2c were stranded by those months coming together for a few minutes with a clash. The covering of a line of short wheat for a Raltimore house, which found Itself unable to respond to further margin calls, helped furnish the excitement which ruled during the greater part of the session. Corn and oats receivel some benefit from the strergth In wheat, but lost it all again, provisions were weak and lower, pork closing at from 15c to 17Vc decline. Wheat at the opening was weak compared with its feverish strength at the close of yesterday's session. May opened with almost the entire crowd willing to sell at Cle, and some with Ideas no higher than C2c at the same time. The lower figures soon prevailed, and before the early competition to sell was overcome by the buying orders which were waiting to come out the price had dropped to (Sc. The swell which resulted after the market had dug down to the buying stratum caused a quick recovery to 640, and these fluctuations all occurred in the first forty minutes of the session. The desire to sell was not occasioned by any change in the situation. The main cause of it was the profit which so many had in the long wheat bought within the last few days and the attempt to turn that Into money. The weather was still dry In Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, where the plant is reported to be suffering for want of rain. The advices from those States did not offer much encouragement for the farmers who have winter wheat In the ground. A more protracted drought would mean a more aggravated losa. The Missouri State crop report announced that 25 per cent, of the winter wheat In that State had been damaged by the late freeze. The frost damage In southern Illinois and southern Indiana and In Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio may also be largely reduced with the proper kind of weather. From California the same discouraging drought which prevailed up to yesterday was reported as still doing Its withering work. All that had but little further immediate effect, and a reaction of lc or 2c was confidently looked for bv the bears, when suddenly It become whisnred about that there was some urgency In the demand for cash wheat When It became known that a Milwaukee miller had bought here 200.000 bushels of hard spring wheat to be ground at his mill. that the price paid for It was within a fraction of 3c premium over the price of regular contract for May and that it could have been sold twice over again at a straight 3c premium. In one case to a Rochester miller, and pgaln to a Ruffalo miller; then the musicians In the pit, who had simplv been tuning their fiddles, started up with a quickstep, and the bears danced for twenty minutes' like dervishes, throwing up their hands and shouting for wheat at the same time, until May was up to 65Vic and July to 66Hc, the latter having sold earlier In the day at 65c. Even at thos prices they only stopped a few minutes for breath, and when they started again they put May up to 6f.e and July to CA4c. The bulls derTsed after May had risn to 6Mc and Jnly to CSic and the price whs allowed to drop lVc about as rapidly as It had risen that much. At one period of the advance Mav and July for a few seconds were traded In at the same price, and for quit? a long time the difference was only 14c. At about 12:45 o'clock May was down again to G4Uc and July to 63c. The closing prices were: May, 640; July, 65lic There was a fair business done in corn, and the market went, soaring at one time. The shorts were badly demoralized bv the jump in wheat, and that was the chief reason for the advance which took place Pi the mlldle of the .eslon. When wheat cim? off Its perch toward the end corn lost for a time all Its earlier advance. Later there wero Independently strong points In the corn situation, and the market wound up firm ot a slight Improvement on yesterday's closing nrlc 3. Mny started weak with wheat at SSUc, rold off to ZSc, recovered to 3ac and closed at 384 -539c, compared with 3S7;c yesterday. There seemed to be a general uprising In the oats crowd to-day. Not only was there a big business transacted, but the market was Independently strong. Even at the opening, when corn and wheat were easier, the price of oats was up from to VAc. This was due to the fact that while the reports of the condition of the wheat and corn crops were confllctlne. they were universal as to the oats croo being badly damaged. May started at 3ls4c against yesterday's last auotatlon of Zlc, and sold up to 32,ic. The later decline In the larger markets was more Influential, and when the decline in those prices began, oats also fell off. May oats sold at SlUc and closed at this price. Provisions acted wearv with the load of their recent advance. There was an appearance of the mor? anxious of the shorts having come In and of even some selling on short account. There was a few short-lived spurts of activity at times when wheat was on the rampage, but the rfsult of the day's trading was a small aggregate. Mav pork opened off 10c at $12.02'.. and was $ll.93 at the close, lwil for Mav closed with .02c loss for the day. May ribs closed .05c lower.

Germantown Telegraph. Sunlight is gcod for everything but feathers. The best number of persons to each bed is one. Away with heavy hangings, either above or below the bed. Eeware of a dusty, musty carpet; better sweetness nnd a b?re floor. Do not fall to provide some means of ventilation during the night. Keep the head cool while sleeping, but not by a draught of cold air falling upon it If a folding bed must be used contrive some way to keep It aired and wholesome. Let the pillow be high enough to bring the head In a natural position no more or less. Thoroughly air the sleeping room every day; air the beds and bedding as often as possible. A dark, out-of-the-way, unwholesome corner is no more fitted for a sleeping room than for a parlor. A feather bed which has done service for a generation or two Is hardly a desirable thing upon which to sleep. OildM nnd End. All rugs, when shaken, should be handled by the middle, not by the ends. Grated and squeezed lemon skins are excellent to clean brass and copper with. It is well to remember, for use in caes of illness where the burning thirst of the patient canncr; be assuaged by crackr.d Ice or water, that a teaspoonful of glycerine will afford prompt and comparatively iv,ng relief. Housekeepers are learning the value of charcoal as a preservative and purifier and absorbent of moisture. Many keep a shallow vessel filled with it. broken quite fine. In the Ice chest and food cupboards throughout the cummer. Any one troubled with pimples should avoid bathing in cold water. Take plenty of hot baths, and give the eruptions a chance to come out on the body if they must come out at all. Wash the face in hot water, wiping it very gently.

Noticeable Decrease in Failures and Commercial Losses. Dun & Co.s Kevicw of TradeBradstreet Ueports Thirty-One Strikes with 40,001) Men Concerned. NEW YORK. April C Dun & Co.'s reView to-morrow will say: Improvement in business has corutnued since the President's veto, which has been sustained In the House. Rut the news of the week is the great decrease in the number and Importance of failures, of which full returns are given for the first time by months In the quarterly statement The number was 2,09-) in January. 1.202 in February and 1.003 in March. The commercial liabilities were $31,230,267 In January, $17,930. In February and $14,730,893 in March. Nearly talf the commercial liabilities were of firms faill. g during the first month. Nearly two-thlrJa of the banking liabilities were of failures In the first month, and over half of the railroad liabilities. Though the number of commercial failures, 4.297 in the United States, was never equaled in any quarter until the third of last year, the average of liabilities is only $14,890. which la lower than has appeared In the records of thirtyeight years at any time closely preceding any serious reverse. The degree of commercial soundness and health thereby In dleated gives ground for hope that th liquidations consequent on the disaster cf 1893. in a large measure, have been accomplished. Wheat has been lifted nbout 4 cents br reports of serious Injury to the plant but the accounts are more than usually conflicting, and there is much urvertainty about the extent of the injury. Western receipts were 1,771.147 bushels for tha week.v against 3.170.971 bushels last year. Exports from Atlantic ports were but 759.445 bushels, against 1.042.265 last year. Corn has declined l'-c. with Western re celpts of 2.596,133 bushels. 1'ork illustrates the contrariness of the hog by advancing half a dollar, with lard a. shade up. Th cotton market approaches stagnation, with) spot steady at 74c. but receipts for the week exceed last year and still indicate a crop much above seven mUlion bales. Failures the past week have been 243 Iq the United States, apralnst 103 last year, and 26 In Canada against 2S last year. 10,000 3Iei on Strike. NEW YOJIK, April G, Rradstreet's tomorrow will say: Special telegrams frora important distributing centers report general trade quite irregular, previous gains having been followed by shrinkages la many instiuices. There Is a slight gain ia business at Pittsburg in staple merchandise, as well as among manufacturers ot Pcssemer pig and billets. The delay of expected revival of trade at Cincinnati. Cleveland, Detroit and Louisville has had a depressing Influence, and is aided by unseasonable weather; but business is reported, fair at Indianapolis, and the expectation Id for a good spring trade. Chicago Jobbers in cotton dress fabrics, silks, hardware, clothing and lumber report Increased sales, but at St. Louis unfavorable weather has checked the demand for dry' goods and millinery and kindred lines, although expectation is for an improvement in the demand because country stocks are not large. Planting throughout Nebraska is being pushed, but the croj? need rain. The industrial feature of the week 1 found m thirty-one strikes throughout the country. Involving 40.000 employes, principally among building trades at New York and Chicago, textile industries at Paterson and New York, coal miners and coke operatives) in western Pennsylvania and further West Noticeably large increases in the number of small strikfs weekly have taken the placo While bank clearings for March ($3,755.of resumptions of industrial establishments. 000,000) are 16 per cent, larger than in February, they averaged only about $139,000,000) dally, contrasted with $138,000,000 in February. Except for last February, and September and August of 1K93, last month's clearings total la the smallest in any month, for fix j vars; It Is 31 per cent less than in March, 1893. Three months clearings aggregate $11,026,000,000. 23 per cent, less than last year's. Out of seventy-seven citi.s, totals for March and for three months at oni' five (smaller) cities show gains compared with last year. Bank clearings this week aggregate about rj50.000,(X0, 28 per cent, more than last week, but the total Is 20 per cent, less than in the like week lost year. Further advances In wheat are due to scares based on fears of crop damage. The monthly report of world's supplies of wheat to Rradstreet indicates the Unite! States will carry over more available wheat July 1 than on any like date except in 1S92. On April 1 wurld s wheat stocks were smaller than one year ago, the like of which has not been reported since February. 1891. Exports of wheat (flour included), both coasts United State?, amount to 2.778.000 bu this week against 2,966,000 bu last week. 3.635.000 bu in the week one year ago and a trifle less than 3,000,000 bu each in corresponding weeks two and three years ago.
