PROFESSIONAL TRADES

BCARS WHO FEAR A HOLIDAY BOIGUT STOCKS TO COVER SALES. Volume of IJanlneiift on 'Chance Comparnlivrlr Light-Grain nerrlplsnt Indianapolis Readily Absorbed. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper. 2i'34V2 Per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business In bankers bills at $1.884 for demand, and at $4.87 for sixty days; posted rates. SI.8SHTi4.90; commercial bills, $4.86. Silver certificates, Bar silver closed at 62c per ounce; at London, 2$H1. Total sales of stocks were 137,613 shares. The share speculation yesterday was strong In tone, but rather dull, the volume of busl. ness being lighter than for some days past. The coming holiday had possibly much to do with both the advancing tendency of prices and the general inactivity. The bears, who are constitutionally opposed to remaining short over a holiday, were th-e main buyers in the market to cover their short contracts, and to the short Interest Is due the appreciation In values. The feeling of uncertainty which fill3 the speculative mind on the eve of a holiday kept some purchasers out of the market, and this tended to restrict the business. The feature of the day was the heavy demand for Chicago Gas, the buying In which is believed to have been for the same clique which has operated so successfully In Sugar, and which, it Is said, has formed a bull pooling. Their purchases sent the price up sharply to 74, an advance of 2 per cent, from Tuesday's closing price, with only a half per cent, reaction at the close. Sugar led the market in point of activity, fluctuating between 994 and IOITs. and closing 1 per cent, down from the highest point of the day, but 1 per cent, higher than on Tuesday. The trading in the stock was tn srra.ll lots, showing that the big operators were not in the market. A drive was made on Burlington & Qulncy In the early dealings on rumors that the April statement would show a heavy decrease In net earnings, and the stock gave way 94 per cent., but when the statement was published and made a far different showing, thw shares came Into good request, and an advance of 16 per cent, was recorded, of which i was lost subsequently. St. Paul was boaght by London and the West, and rose closing below the best. Philadelphia buying, based on an article published In a local paper declaring that there would be no foreclosure, sent the stock ci . the Reading company up 1 per cent., the last being the highest price of the day. The rest of the market, except Atchison, In which there were some moderate dealings for London and Boston accounts, was Inactive. The tendency of values was toward a higher range, and speculation was firm at the close. A decline was established of 2 per cent, in Evansville & Terre Haute. The railway bond market was somewhat Irregular during the day, but closed steady, the prominent changes being: Advances-.

Trade SIott and Steady Prices Ruling: In Most Departments. On the wholesale streets and on Commission row trade the last two days has been a little slow, with steady prices ruling. For the first time In weeks sugar Is a little unsettled, but no marked changes are looked for. Coffees are very firm. Dry goods men attribute their dull trade largely to the unusually cool weather. Itecilpts of fruits and vegetables are light, which bolsters up prices. The strawberries now offered are largely Indiana grown. Irish potatoes are higher on lighter receipts and an Increased demand. This will apply to both old and new stock. Cabbages are very scarce, only Baltimore stock on the market. Poultry is a little firmer and eggs steady and In active request. The provision market is active and prices unsettled. The local grain market continues fairly active.

LOEBEXHERG EXPELLED. Central Labor Union Takes the Action Spoke for Sullivan. A. B. Loebenberg has been expelled from the Central Labor Union. He was accused of disloyalty to the union In attempting to organize another central labor organization In opposition to It. Loebenberg made a vigorous defense, In which he ' admitted that he was attempting to organize another labor organization, but not with any view to destroying -the Central Labor Union.. He promised to change his course, but the promise was not accepted, and by a twothirds vote of the body he was expelled. Loebenberg says he believes me Populist party has the Central Labor Union by the neck, arid that it is wholly in politics. He spoke in the Interest of the Sullivan ; ring in the last municipal campaign at meetings called under the auspices of labor organizations, and ought to know. He says he was requested by unions that did not want to belong to the Central Labor Union to call a meeting for the purpose of organizing a central body to which they. could belong. He claims the central union has no Jurisdiction over him. and that his union alone has jurisdiction. DAILY VITAL STATISTICS. Birth. Albert and Annie Mueller, 170 Clifford avenue, girl.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I am a reader of the Journal, and having noticed a mention of General ptreight's grave and of the members of tho Fiftyllrst Regiment being culled there, I wish to write a little note to Mrs. Streight and the Fifty-first veterans. I was a soldier of the Third Ohio and was with General Strelht's raid in Georgia. We were captured on the 3d of May. nine miles from Rome. Ga. After General Streight got out of Llbby rri?on he came to see us at Chattiinoovra. Ttnn.. and we went and serenaded him. He gave us each his photograph. This brings all that raid's doings fresh to my memory, and I send best wishes to the members of the Fifty-first. DALE FISIIEi. Otterbeln, Ind., May 23.

ACCORDINGLY WHEAT AT CHICAGO WAS WEAK AXD LOWER. Corn Closed at n Decline In Sympathy, bat Oati Were II lecher nnd Provisions About the. Same. CHICAGO, May 29. The crop scare flattened out to-day and wheat followed suit, closing '2c lower. The market was dull within a 5c range. Corn closed c lower; oats, higher, and provisions with but little change. Wheat was easy at the start, opening sales being U0?sC under the final figures of' yesterday, and almost immediately declined J2C more, catching come stop-loss orders, some of which could not be executed at the limits given. Later the price rallied c, eased off again, changed some and closed steady. The heavy frost predicted for last night failed to materialize and was largely responsible for the early weakness. Reports from Kansas were a little conflicting, some reporting good rains had fallen and others that It was still dry and frosts had done some damage to the soft wheat. There was said to be selling orders here from the Southwest, but later' on Kansas City and St. Louis were credited with buying. The indifferent cable reports of rain combined with the fact that considerable of the short interest was covered yesterday, tended to weakness, but buying near the close caused a rally and the finish was c above the bottom. Corn was dull within VaUc limits. The market was fairly steady on reports of crop damage. Oats were stronger on good buying and crop damage. July closed at the top, after, a range of He. Provisions were very dull, opened weak on liberal live hog receipts and the decline in wheat. Tho market firmed up later, on a little buying by packers. Compared with last night, July pork is 2'c higher; July lard, .02V4c higher, and July ribs, .OCc lower. Freights were firmer, with a fair demand for vessel room at '.fee advance, lc being p?.id for corn to Buffalo.

Kansas City Journal. The following extract from a recent address before a swinebreeders meeting Impresses the reader with the Importance of clover In the successful growing of hogs for market: That "a clover field Is worth a corn field" was never more true In the history of this country than It is to-day. and tha successful swine raisers will have to combine the grass and corn crops to maintain the fertility of the farm and meet th growing .demand of recent years for a quality of pork containing only a reasonable amount of fat instead of so much grease and oil from an all corn diet. And the best method of produclng such meat Is to grow and feed them out In the fields occupied with clover arranged for grazing. Unless proper care Is given the young porkers, with a little extra feeding consistent with that most needed, they may not obtain as great Weights at the same age as those confined in "dry lots" and fed on an exclusive slop and grain diet, but they will be the healthier by it and not have cost near so much to grow them. However, two pounds per head for each day during tho months of May and June can readily be obtained on clover alone after the first few days of gradually reducing the feed, as the clover attains more growth and sustenance. But all hogs Intended for market should be sold by the time the clover commences to ripen, as the average gain will be less day by day without substituting other feed, and much of the profits be lost. If too small for market or to be kept longer In a profitable condition, suitably prepared slops should be given them to bridge over the time when clover has passed the flush stage of Its growth or until "roasting ears" will do to feed, when they can be gradually put upon the next most profitable feeding, and as the corn hardens and the feeding progresses for a period of about ten or twelve weeks on the second crop of clover or a bluegrass pasture a healthier hog with more and better meat for the least expense will have been made than can be obtained by any other method in our country. Rtitslnff 3Ielons. The Independent. Melons are not as often grown In our home gardens as they should be. One reason for this Is that, as commonly cultivated, they require too much room; another Is that they frequently fall to give satisfactory results, being subject to the Fame drawbacks that I have already noted regarding cucumbers. To take up the Utter matter first, apply the same medicine, abundant moisture, and you may easily keep the vines alive and productive. Regarding the important question of space, I would say that, as for watermelons, this Is not easily-overcome in the. small garden; but for the more delicious muskmeions and cantaloupes, I select a long border, about ten feet wide, and run a single row the entire length. By placing this row in tl.9 center of the strip the vines have a chanco to spread five feet on either side, which Is quite far. enough. If they rhow a disposition to exceed this, nip off the . ends. Manure heavily In the center of the ftrip, where the seeds are to be sown, and plane rather thickly. When the plants are well up, thin so as to leave one strong one to each foot of row. Better not thin until after the striped-bug period, which will be as soon as the third leaf Is well developed. About the latest Invention In bed covering Is the hay quilt. It Is made of flannelette, cretonne or wool and an armful or two of .hay. The goods are sewed strongly across the top and bottom and down one side, and quilted across from side to sJda at distances of about fourteen lnch?s. The hay Is put in lightly and the remaining side sewed down. When the hav becomes limp hang the quilt before the fire and it soon becomes crisp again. The warmth of theso oullts cannot be realized, except by thosa who have tried them. In making these quilts they should be made quite as wide as . the bds they are Intended to cover. They equal In warmth two or three blankets. Such quilts are much used by the peasantry in the Swiss mountains, who appreciate the warmth they afford.
