With exception of some small silling In St. Paul and Louisville & Nashville and very moderate buying in Northern Pacific preferred for the London account, the market was left entirely in the hands of the. room traders and was as unimportant and uninteresting as k was dull. The commission houses have been complaining for months past of lack of orders. Only straggling customers have come along occasionally. The movement of prices, sluggish as It was, was Irregular. Sugar was In fair buying in the early dealings and rose 1 per cent, to 87 but sagged off during the afternoon to &, that being the closing price. Sugar preferreJ lost Y per cent. The grangers moved within the narrowest limits, St. Paul's range being tfc Per cent., Burlington and Rock Island, U. and Northwestern, Vs. Burlington losing H on the day and St. Paul i. Hock Island gaining Y per cent. Northern Pacific preferred was sold down 1 per cent, by Boston and the local bears, on the failure to dispose of the $5,000,000 receiver's certificates offered for sale yesterday. The break occurred In the first hour and the stock was taken by London houses at the decline. Very little was done in the shares during the afternoon and the closing figures were lowest touched after a decline of M at the opening. Chicago Gas fluctuated between 74 and 74';, and closed be-, low the top. On purchases of two hundred shares Pullman rose IVi per cent.. Cedar Kalis & Minnesota advanced lVfe and Tobacco preferred 2 per cent, losses on the day were made In I., C, C. & St. L. preferred. Western Union and iNew England are unchanged on the day. There was a firm tone to the bond market during the early session, but in the afternoon the dealings were somewhat irregular, the market closing unsettled.

When the Indiana Society of Horticulturists met at New Amsterdam last May a great deal of Interest was shown in a paper read by Attorney J. H. Blair, of this city. Mr. Blair discussed the timbered sections of the State, and advanced the theory that the water supply of the streams was yearly growing less because of the havoc made In the forest3 by the woodman's ax. The society took up the subject for discussion, and finally passed resolutions deploring the reckless sacrifice of forest trees and recommending that the Legislature take up the question. The following committee was appointed to prepare a suitable bill to be Introduced in the next General Assembly: Gen. John Coburn, C. S. Denny and J. H. Blair, of Indianapolis; Professor J. Troop, of Lafayette; Addison Coftin, of Amo; M. V. Hanger, of Evansvllle; J. B. Burris, of Cloverdale; W. W. Stevens, of Salem; W. H. Ragan, of Greencastle. The 'committee met yesterday at the Statehouse and arranged for another meeting, when a bill providing for the care of forest trees will be prepared for the consideration of the legislative body which convenes In January. Mr. Blair, in discussing the questions, said: "The influence that forest areas exert upon climate and waterflow Is an Important feature. The Influence which the forest has upon climate and moisture Is of a local character, and the local climate is of the most importance to us. The presence of heavy timber retards the flow of rainfall and the water is absorbed by the soil and slowly finds its way into small streams which empty into larger streams. Uy this means the sudden rl3ing of water courses are averted. When the forests have been removed the rainfall rushes down hillsides and ravines, suddenly increasing the vol-, ume of streams which continue with great rapidity of current, carryinsr everything with it. This violent rushing of water carries away fertile loose poll and leaves the surface nonproductive. European countries have for years been giving this subject attention and by practical experience have demonstrated the truths I have cited. If the present disregard for the future in the felling of forest trt-es is permitted to continue, it will be but a short time until the supply is exhausted." GROCER SC1IWIX0E ASSIGNS.

RECOVERED A BREAK

AFTER AX EARLY DECLINE WHEAT "WOKE IP AND GAINED 1-SC. Other Grain Did Well to Remain Unchanged Provisions "Were "Without Flrninens nnd Declined. CHICAGO, Oct. 23. After a dull and weak session, due to a combination of bearish Influences, the wheat market woke up at the finish to-day, and, startled by vigorous covering by shorts, closed c higher f jr December. May corn closed unchanged. May oats unchanged and provisions at slight declines. Heavy receipts in the Northwest to-day and heavy accumulations of country elevator stocks In that part of the country during the last week were the chief Influences in wheat at the opening. The market dropped Uc of its previous value as soon as trading commenced. Shorts,' who had been waiting for some of what they call good bear news to cover on, had in that an opportunity to do so, for the local scalpers commenced to sell, and two or three hundred thousand bushels changed hands at from 52,,c to 52150 32c for December and from 57c to 57Vc for May. But when the wheat for sale at those prices was exhausted the price reacted to the highest price previously paid. December, which closed yesterday at 52c, opened at 52c It stood at 52C for a long time, with an occasional dip of 1-lSc below that, and when Bradstreet's visible supply came In it sold for a few moments at 52jjC. An inquiry for hard spring wheat was reported, and some sales. New York wired that if freight room were plentiful a heavy export business would be done. Those latter matters induced some shorts to cover and caused December to touch 52?sC about half an hour from the close, and at the finish sent it to 53c. Corn, in sympathy with wheat, was weak at the start and during the first half of the session, and firm and In good demand during the latter half. May opened below its closing value on the day before. It remained dull, selling at 49c for a second, but held steady the greater part of the time In the forenoon at 494c After the estimated receipts for to-morrow were known to be very small, and some shipping demand was found to exist, the market .became firm, and near the end quite strong, "May advancing to BOUc and closing at 50c bid. Trading in oats was limited.' The market followed corn, and, even though the offerings were light, they far exceeded the Inquiry. May started at 3214c, touched 32c and sold down to 324c, reacting with corn, and closing at 32c. Provisions were very dull and had none of the firmness which was thought to be underlying the market yesterday. The opening prices were a shade under closing -quotations of yesterday, and a slight further decline occurred later, and was still maintained at the end. Compared with closing prices of the day before pork is 7J20 and lard and ribs each .OGc lower. Hog receipts to-day were 20,000. and 30.OJ0 are estimated for 'to-morrow. The decline was in sympathy with corn, but the market 'failed to rally when the grain market advanced. ; Freights, lc for grain to Buffalo, and a cargo of wTheat to Milwaukee paid ic.

The bet gmd of native steers was quoted around K. The best of ths Westerns around $1.50 urnl choice Texans as high as $2.50. From thost prices the quotations ranged downward to $11.23 for scalawags. Trading In native ptock was principally at $1.75'.j5.25 and from J2.50 to $3.5u bought the greater part of the Westerns. The close was fairly firm. In hogs there was a strong market ear'.y In the d?y, but there was not so much the semblance of firmness later. While buyers did not hesitate to pay 5c advance around the opening of business, they were e'.ow to pay yesterday's price any time after 9 o'clock. The cause of the reaction was not apparent. It was not that too many hogs were offered, for the fresh and stale receipts combined did not exceed 25,OuO head, but for some reason best known to themselves packers "pulled out" and the close was flat at 5100 off from the opening figures. Late sales were on a basis of $5 for the best heavy and $I.7S for choice assorted light. The bulk of the day's work was done below $4.90. from $1.65 to $LS5 tak lng. the bulk of the stuff. There were many sales of pigs at $5'4.50, and rough mixed lots sold around $4.50. In shee with receipts since Saturday showing a decrease of something like IC.OnO head as compared with the same time last week, prices ordinarily might have been expected to make a decided advance, and no

doubt they would but for the circumstances that the pens were still clogged with stale stock. The feeling was firmer, of course, but there was not enough vitality In the demand to lift prices to any important extent. They were quoted at 75c'n$l for pxr to choice sheep and at $1.25tf4 for lambs. Receipts Cattle, 8.500; calves, 500; hogs, XI,000; sheep, 10.000. NEW YORK. Oct 23. Beeves Receipts. S34. None on sale.
