Share speculation on the Stock Exchange was quiet at the opening, and the lirst prices made were a shade lower than the closing figures of Monday. The depression was largely due to selling for the foreign account and the heaviness of Americans on the London stock market.

LOCAL GltAIX AXD PltODLCE. 5Iore Seasonnble Wrnther Iniprovps Trade Clinngen In Ynliio lVv. There Is no mistaking tlie fact that the cold weather of the lat few days ha3 been a check on trade, and it Is feared that it will be felt through the entire summer unless reports of damage to fruit and other crops have been exaggerated. So promising were the crors two weeks ago that the retail merchants were very cheerful, and were so confident of a gocd business this cummer that they were free buyers, but now all are more cautions. Firm prices are the characteristic. Especially Is this true of dry goods, staple groceries and htrtl and iron articles. The flour market is working into a stronger position, and further advancer may le looked for. The provision market carries an easier tone, and prices for nearly all kinda of fruits and vegetables are on the decline, but vary with the receipts from day Vt day. Poultry and fggs s.t-e steady and unchanged. Th? hide market still lus an advancing tendency, and there J an improvement in the quality of the hide3 coming in. The local grain market continues active, but wheat took a rest yesterday. Corn an 1 oat J are very firm, in sympathy with wheat. Corn advanced 1 cent.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: There Is a statement In the Journal of Saturday last that two cf the amendments to the State Constitution, which were agreed to at the last session of the General Assembly, had the same number as they appear at the office of the Secretary of State and the suggestion !s made that this numbering will defeat both of the proposed amendments. The amendment providing for an increase In the number of judges of the Supreme Court was introduced in the Senate Jan. 15, 1S93. and was No. 1 of Joint resolutions oa the Senate calendar. The other amendment was Introduced in the House Feb. 19. 1833, and was No. 3 of the Joint resolutions on the House calendar. Tho numbers of bills or joint rerolutions' are no rart or the bill or resolution and are mete matter of business convenience, while they are pending before the General Assmhly. In some of the amendments that have heretofore been proposed the following resolution ha? been added to each amendment : "Resolved, That in submitting the amendment to the electors of the State to be voted on it shall be designated as amendment No. " (Acts of regular session, pp. 139 to 163, Inclusive; all acts of IVJl, p. 44 to 4S6. inclusive, where several amendments were agreed to.) This practice is not required by the Constitution at all (see Sec. 1 and 2 of article 16 of the Constitution) and has not been uniform. In the acts of 1871. p. 67 and 6X, where an amendment was proposed as to the debt charged upon the Wabash and Erie canal, no number waJ civen It by resolution and none was given it in the law tubm!tting it to a vote of the people. (Acts of regular session. 1S73, pp. 4 to 86.) The General Assembly of 1S73, after agree ing to the proposed amendments of the session of 1877. passed a law submitting them to the qualified voters of the State, which was done in suld f lection, as follows: "Sec. 2. The Secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper, on each cf which shall be printed the proposed amendments, and below each amendment shall be printed the word 'Yes' on one line and In another line the wont 'No, " etc. Tho act further provided that If the voter desires to vote fcr either amendment he shall ftrike out the word "No" under each proposed amendment, and if he desire? to vof against it, then he shall strike out the word "Yes." The vote taken on the amendments originating in 1S77 under the law of 1879, was held to be an invalid election. (The State vs. Swift, 63 Ind., 501 to 543.) The same amendments were again submitted to the qualified voters of the State, by a law passed by the General Assembly In 1SS1. (Acts of 1S81. pp. 29 to 35. Inclusive.) The manner of voting under the act of 1SS1 was substantially the same as under the act of 1873. Rach amendment was printed on the ballot and the voters indorsed or rejected each proposed amendment on its merits as they occurred to him and did not vote for or against them to their numbers. It Is presumed that the authors of the two .amendments referred to in the statement in your paper of 18th inst., followed the precedents in the proposed amendments of 1S77 and 1SS1 In attaching numbers to their proposed amendments by resolution, for which there is no necessity whatever, has nothing at all to do with the action of the next General Assembly, when they come to act upon them, and nothing to do with the action of the voters of tho State if the proposed amendments should be submitted to them for adoption or rejection.

WHEAT GROWS DIZZY

RAPID ADVANCES OF THE LAST FEW DAYS I'M SETTLES THE MARKET. All Grnln, Save Onts, Yesterday Mude Further Advance, AVUlle Provisions Vcre Weak und Lovrer. CHICAGO. Mav 21. Wheat was dizzv to day, as the result of the great rise which has been experienced within the past fewdays. The news was nearly all bullish, and higher prices were logically to be looked for, but the trade has become ac customed to declines, and a 2-cent rise joggles it off its balance. Consequently when the market showed a tendency to waver at the top to-day there was a rush of longs and shorts to sell and a tumble of 25ic. Fluctuations were very freauent throughout the session, but the close shows an advance of over yesterday. Corn. though influenced by wheat to some extent. was more directly Influenced by the frosts and inclined to greater steadiness than wheat, closing c higher than yesterday; oats, 4c lower; lard, .12.ic lower; pork, 17fec lower, and ribs, ,15c lower. Wheat opened weak, with sellers at from 73c to 72?4c for July, but there were numerous buyers for a matter of a half hour or so, who evidently looked for a repetition of the sequences to all recent breaks in the price. They were not disappointed. It recovered to 74c, but what occurred in the next half hour rather upset the calculations of the crowd. After hanging between 734c and 73Hc for about twenty minutes succeeding the bulge to 74c, it took a sudden dip to 734e, recovered to 73?4c, broke again to 73'ic but quickly dropped so far that the last-named figures appeared to be away up on the top of an Inaccessible mountain. It went down to 71c. It took about thirty minutes to tumble The volatile character of the market was well maintained throughout the sejsion, for by 12 o'clock the price had again climbed to 734c. The great strength of July at St. Louis, where the traders are in close touch with the crop conditions in the best part of tho winter wheat country, did much to keep up the courage of the bulls. There was nothing. In fact, in receipts and shipments, foreign advices or domestic crop conditions which could be construed unfavorable to holders of wheat. On the contrary, the general tenor of the news favored still higher prices. The only thing that was advanced against the price was that it had grown too rapidly, and that after a 20c rise It should react 6c at least. The scalpers, big and little, were of the latter opinion, and hence the early and subsequent break. Liverpool, London, Paris and Berlin all quoted higher prices. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 215 care, compared with 326 cars a year ago. The exports of wheat and flour from the Atlantic ports was equal to 420,000 bushels, of which 200,(MX bushels was in the form of flour. The only matter or a bearish character which was brought to the notice of the trade was the week's movement from Ihe exporting countries of the world, wnich amounted to 8,900,000 bushels, including the 2.4X,eoo bushels sent from this country and Canada. The estimated weekly requirements of the importing nations amount to 6.7CO.OOO bushels. The report of crop damage and the professional selling fought each other foot to foot during the entire session, and as the end approached the market developed most extreme nervousness. It rushed up and down between 73e and 7354c, taking only a few minutes to go from one extreme to the other, and finally closed at 738c. Corn was fairly active and strong, In face of receipts of 917 cars and an absence of demand for round lots of shipments. It was a local scalping trade principally In the Pit, with the fluctuations over a. range of lc, and those for the most part following in the wake of the price changes in wheat. July, from 53Vj.c near the opening, rose to 54c. declined to 53c rose in the afternoon to 54?c, and closed at 54c, or vc higher than it did yesterday. Oats were active. Longs were again selling and shorts buying. Orders from the country -to buy were also numerous. Had crop reports were influential in causing the urgent country demand for oats. hiie the market experienced lower values throughout, and closed from Uc to 3sC under yesterday's quotations, fluctuations were ruled entirely by wheat and corn. The cash market for oats was very weak, prices being about lc lower, and the feeling extended Into the speculative crowd. Consequently the lower prices and a comparatively firm tone. July sold from 29hc to 28c, and rested at 294c Provisions were moderately active but weaker. The start was at a decline, compared with yesterday's closing prices, of oe in pork and about .10c in lard and ribs. The estimated run of hogs for to-morrow being 25.000, tended to produce the easier feeling, but the receipts thi-s morning were onlv 21 .CM. and they were quote! lirm at 5- advance. Pork, after a temporary rady of 7-c. dropped 22ic, then recovered a lit. tie, and closed, for July, at $12& sellers, compared with S12.S2 on the day before. Lard, at the close, had lost .12VsC and ribs from .122C to 15c. Estimated receipts for to-morrow: W heat, 38 cars; com, 4 cars; oats, 3r cars; hoK. 35.000 head. Freights were steady, with moderate business in vessel room at l4c for wheat, lUc for corn and lc for oats to Buffalo. . . Leading futures ranged as ionows: Open- Hitfh- Low Closing. Articles.

Only about 4.000 head of cattle arrived here to-day. against 8,000 received at Kansas City, and yesterday's advance in prices was sustained, although buyers held back early in the day. Cattle averaged 10ft; 15c per 100 pounds higher than at the close of last week, and anything fancy would have sold around $G, but choice beeves of the right weight were again very scarce. Common to choice native steers, weighing 940 to 1.570 pound?,, were salable at $1.25&5. bulk of the tales being at $1.9Cft3.5, and Clay. Robinson & Co. sold a carload of choice 1,40-pound Nebraska steers at S5.E9. The expectation of good receipts to-morrow kept numerous buyers out of the market, but the receipts were so small that sellers managed to get rid of most of their consignments. Hogs Not more than 24.000 head were offered on the market to-day, including the small number that were left over from yesterday. Eastern shippers started in to buy at an early hour, and their good purchases of choice droves ran prices up for the better class of hogs about 5c per 100 pounds, prime lots fetching $4.85. After nlllng the shipping orders there was no real competition and as the local packers had the field all to themselves prices weakened somewhat. Common hegs and pigs were' not any higher, and good to choice lots closed with most of the advance lost. Sales were made of heavy hogs at $1.35'i 4.85; mixed lots at $4.40ft4.75; light weights at $4.35ft4.70.
