Bar silver, CTc; silver certificates, CIM 67"c. At London bar silver closed at S0"d. Total sa!e3 of stocks were 137,411 shares. Including the following; American Sugar, 25.100; American Tobacco, 3.000; Burlington, 8.100; Chicago Gas. 3,400; Distilling. 3.900; L. & N., 13,300; Manhattan, 41.400; Missouri Pacific, 9.C00; Rock Island, 6,200; St. Paul, 24,600; Tennessee Coal and Iron, 4,000; United States Leather preferred, 4,800; Wheeling & Lake Erie, 5,700. The stock market was rather dull throughout the day yesterday and devoid of special Interest. As a result of trading prices are pretty evenly divided between gains and losses, but neither are of much Importance. During the forenoon speculation was in good tone, and the tendency of prices was generally upward. Purchases for the foreign account were the sustaining Influences of the market, and additional stimulus was given tho purchasing movement by a satisfactory condition of the money market, deplte the heavy drains on it in connection with the financing of the government bond loan. Another element of strength was the almost uniform character of the reports of railway earnings for the second week of February, which ii most instances show gains. Rumors which do not appear to have any foundation, but which were calculated to move up Sugar certificates, were put in circulation, but had little or no lifting power for the stock. The chief advances wero Louisville & Nashville. Pi, and Tennessee Coal and Iron, 1 per cent., the latter on buying induced by Improved trade conditions. Around midday the market became Irregular on a light volume of business, and figures sagged slightly thereafter up to the last hour of business, when a somewhat more pronounced selling movement set in. which resulted in a loss of a greater part of tho early advance and in some cases brought figures down below the bottom figures .of the morning. Manhattan was exceptionally weak, and fell off 2U to 1014. The other Gould shares were also heavy, notably Missouri Pacific, which receded ll per cent.; Leather preferred 14 per cent., on a reiteration of the unfavorable gossip as to February dividend; New Jersey Central 1U per cent., owing to the hostile attitude of the New Jersey Legislature toward the coal combination. The concessions in the rest of tho list extended to 1! per cent. In Chicago Gas and 1 per cent, in General Electric. The closing was moderately active but heavy in tone. Tuesday's bond operations were quiet and uninteresting. A firm tone prevails, however, and gains were generally scored, extending to li per cent, in Central Pacific sixes of 1838. Duluth and Iron Range firsts figured for Hi per cent, and Chicago & Erie firsts. Chesapeake & Ohio fives. Fort Worth &. Denver City firsts, trust receipts, and W It . w ... jsuriinxion lowa division four 1 per cent. The aggregate transactions were $1,109,000.

This issue made further progres toward a higher level, transactions be ing made at liy9. -which is the best price attained. since the new loan was floated. Large blocks changed hands at 11613 117i. the lat ter being the closing price, and the aggregate ales reaching $510,000.

By no means the least of the many evi dences or tr.e progress which has marked this country is th? great advance in the art or advertising. In this movement the United States has excelled all other countries, not only in ingenuity and variety of devices, but In aggregate of outlay and in results achieved. Forty years ago the advertising columns or tne dally papers were Interest ing only to those wno had occasion to con sult them In craer to ascertain where this. that or tne other article micht be found. The announcements were as dry and formal as old-fashioned business terms could make th?m, and were scarcely more ' attractive reading than the columns of a dictionary or directory. The same matter stcoJ for months, Fometlmes for years, as the only communication between a merchant and the purchasing public. Now the advertising columns display not only business capacity. but literary and artistic taste. For every column of space used for advertising in those days more than twenty are thus utilized now. we do not mean by tnis state ment to convey the impression that there naa been a twenty-fold increase in the advertising business of all the papers that were in existence then, although some of them show that rate of progress. But thousands of newspapers and periodicals have come on to the stage since the middle-aged man of to-day was a boy, and a hundred pounds of paper go into the printing press in this country to-uay ror every pound con sumed at that time. The press and the advertisers have built up each other s for tunes, and given the public that incalculable advantage that comes from enter prise and competition in trade. Next to tho United States, England takes position in this line of progress, leading continental countries by long odds. The London merchants have no "ad writers" so clfted as some members of the profes sion in this country, but the great dallies of that metropolis show decided improve ment' in the art of attracting trade by sagacious and intelligent use of printers' Ink. There !. however, one London trades man, a draper, who has made a disastrous experiment in advertising, because he de parted from legitimate methods. lie took the postal telegraph instead of the news papers, but he wi.i not do so any more. At rn early hour one morning, two or three weeks ago, this enterprising draper sent some thousands of telegrams to fash ionable ladles, announcing. s pale is now progressing. A telegram is naturally assumed to have reference to some matter of urgent importance. So the ladles were routed from their beauty sleep to open nnd read the draper's announcement. The Incident aroured much Indignation, and does not appear to nave attracted trade to any consldexable extent. Some of the indig nant recipients or tne telegram took occas!on to call on the draper and Impart "a piece of their mind" to that unfortunae; other Is dies s?nt their husbands to "blow him up." He has made humble apologies through tne newspapers, the channel through which his announcement should nave been made.

LACK OF" OITSIDE StTrOUT AD A SEI.I IXCi 3IOVE3IIJ?fT. DIsappoIntlnK World's Shipments Alao Contributed to Wenkurit In Grain ProvIion Lower." CHICAGO, Feb. lS.-There was a notice able lack of outside support to wheat 40day, nearly all the trading being done by local professionals. This and the dis appointing world's visible report were the main causes for the weakness displayed, May closing at a loss of ic since yester day. Corn and oats each lost 4c and provis'orrs also dropped slightly. In wheat the feeling displayed was some what stronger early in the day, due largely to the more moderate movement in the Northwest, tbe arrivals in that section for the first time since early in the season falling under those for the corresponding day one year ago, the difference being nearly one hundred cars. This fact, coupled with ttie moderate weekly European ship ments, created quite a firm feeling, not withstanding that Liverpool advices were somewhat easier In tone.' The exports to Europe last week were but 5,731,000 bu, against 5,100,000 bu the preceding week, against theoretical requirements of 7,200,000 oral t larcpr commission houses, but thft ifioir nf nutatrie business tocether with rather a dragging local proreAS4onai traae and advanced to 65c. But Bradstreet s rennrt ficnirtxl an mcivase 111 lilt? v ui I'l o available sunolv of 897.000 bu. there being a decrease for the same period last year of 2.880.000. This was a severe disappoint ment -to speculators, wno naa uueu u at least a stand on ana me eueci was felt at once. May dropping quickly to 64?fcc. a aHp-ht reartion caused by the temptation to realize at low figures advanced the price to 64ij65c and at that figure it ciosea Corn was quiet ana inciinea o wea.n.ur in sympathy with wheat. May opened He inner at SO and closed at 29viC. Oats wero exceedingly dull and shared m the weakness displayed by -other grains. May closing at 20i8c, a loss of Mo since yesterday. . . Provisions opened firm and a trifle "higher owing to the steadiness or tne ncg mantex, hut the late hreak in wheat caused prices to lose the gain.

Feb. 18.-Ort the Produce Ex change to-day the butter market was steady; dairy, Sn6c; creameries. lWlsvfcc. Cheese quiet at lOc. Eggs weak; fresh, lisi'c. From n Broker's View Point. (Chicago Dispatch to O. H. Faught.) Wheat opened a trifle firmer Tuesday morning, although there was nothing in cables to cause the firmness. At the start cables were unchanged to Ud lower, but bull sentiment was predominant, and the first few hours of the session the market was strong, and several large lines of wheat were taken on at figures from 65VitC to 65ic. Armour bought openly, probably about 250,000 bu, and other heavy weights were on the lonsr side. Tne principal fac tor in wheat against the price is the lack of outside trade. It Is very noticeable. Even the professional trade is rather bul llsh, particularly the smaller Northwestern. Receipts were 452 cars, which is about H0 cars less than the same day a year ago The clearances have' been only moderate. with large flour clearances. 60.OOO brls. Primary receipts. 4C8.000 bu, are double those of last year. The sentiment is rapidly changing on the wheat situation, and we expect to see better markets from now on. as nearly every operator admits that e are passing through the critical time for the growing wheat, and that mild weather one day and freezing the next Is not con ducive to the health or the growing plant. There were reports in from some Southern points to-day in regard to the condition of the crowing wheat, which was not at all flattering. We think that parties who take advantage of the market on to-day's break nnd buy will nave no cause to regret It. Puts, 64c: calls, 654c: curb, 65'c. ; Corn and oats were lower on larger re ceipts and in sympathy with wheat. The principal features in to-day's corn market were the large purchases made for Eastern account. Pork opened firm and higher this morning on lighter receipts of hogs than ex pected and good demand from shorts. The trade was confined principally to packers and scalpers. Very little outside business. Ribs and lard closed a shade lower, in sympathy with pork. AT NEW YORK. Ruling: Prices In Produce nt lite Sen lionrd'M Commercial Metropolis NEW YORK, Feb. 18.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Your question of a few days ago, "Is there anything about the study of medicine, or medical college sights and associations, that tends to undermine the moral sense?" Is worthy an answer, In view of the rather undesirable notoriety which the profession has received in the last few weeks through the public press. The question can be given two different answers. There Is and cm be nothing in the study of medicine and surgery itself to lessen the moral obligation felt toward society at large. It is a profession which demands more personal selfsacrifice than any other calling, and which,' even when faithfully followed, offers In the end but very little more than a bare competency. The physicians who have large estates made wholly from their practice are rare. The public has not been slow to recognize tho value of the profession, and to give Its members a high standing in their confidence. It is true that there are some physicians who are unworthy the confidence and the trust of the people, as in other occupations. As it would be grossly erroneous to Judge all lawyers by the thieving pettifogger or all ministers by the wolf who as sumes the clerical attire to serve Satan, eo It Is unfair to assume or even intimate that there is anythlr.3 In the etudy of medicine of Itself to conduce to moral depravity. The most of the United States require a medical diploma from some medical college. This requirement is intended to protect the public from Impostors and charlatans. Nearly all medical colleges, among their requirements for admission, demand a certain amount of preparatory office study and a good moral character vouched for by the preceptor. During this preliminary training the student comes In dally contact with suffering sorrow, mental distress and the effects of vice on the human system. Add to this two or three years spent In a medical college, and we would naturally expect the student to come forth k'nd, tender and sympathetic, as well as helped, and this would undoubtedly be the case if greater care were taken in the training of the student. And here. I am sorry to say, comes the affirmative answer to your question. While a knowledge of disease and the action of drugs, as well as of anatomy, is absolutely necessary to the physician and surceon, there are other things which are far more important to the future citizen in whose hands society is to trust its dearest interests. While teaching anatomy and physics, too frequently the professors neglect to instill the Idea of the sacredness of human life or even mention the fact that medical stulents can be gentlemen. The student is led to believe, from the actions and words of the teacher and instructor, that the patient Is nothing more than a machine brought forward for his inspection and experimentation. Too many of them. Instead of kindness and gentleness, teach brutality and coarseness. Many Intersperse their didatlc and clinical lectures with the vilest of stories and the coarsest of jokes, and in such a way arouse the very worst passions of the human soul. For years this erroneous system of medical training has been growing from bad to worse. Fifty years ago each lecturer In the medical schools took time to give instruction concerning the conduct of the studeat, the practitioner and the surgeon, and their own conduct gave an example of consistency and uprightness. With such men as these at the operating tables and in the lecture rooms, there was but little danger of the mentally perverted and morally depraved getting even an Inkling of the use of dangerous and subtle drugs. Ten years ago, when the writer was a student at one of the best-known medl.al colleges in the West, two young ladies presented themselves as matriculants. They paid their fees and took their places on the bench with the remainder of the class. Their coming aa students called Xorta to

At one t;.? it was Imposs'.l'I for a v-'oman to r-rt along the si lewaik in front of th coU e builiing without being Insultej. The nu:anca became so great that the city four I it necessary to station a number of trw-rs on the sidewalk to keep peace. Some of the boys, in their rvde play, broke a r.umber of chairs and ore of the proreor?'. .is an Introduction to his lecture, announcl that every chair broken would have to l-e paid fcr and would cost a dollar. A number of dollars wero pastel down. Finally, on, big fellow rose and said. "Professor, then It costs a dollar to break a chalrT "Yes. sir." said the professor. "Well, here's a dollar for the one Im going to break." and he raised the chair high above his head and dashed it against the wall. The students of th Indiana Medical College may not have danced about the bod7 of Mrf. Booker in the dissecting room, fmrrj time ago. but the Journal not many Sundays past published the story of the college authorities having a body hauled about tho city all night to keep the relatives from finding It. It Is such acts as the last named which encourage the spirit of lawlessness among the students and "undermine the moral sense." These stories could, be multiplied indefinitely. but It is not necefary. It Is no wonder that the people do not wl-h to hoard me Ileal students In their families. The practice of vivisection, before classes, of students is to be condemnei upon all humanitarian principle, and has been well nigh aboli shed in thu country. It. Is the French who are said to stop at nothing for a pathological specimen, frequently performing vivisection en the human being. Bjt the public must not condemn the entire profession for the sin of the few black sheep like Holmes, Duest row. Jackson and the others. Some of th noblest 'men' Who have ever lived belong to It. and not a few. of them are resident of your own chy. J. W. TtUCKER. M. D. Shelbyvllle. Ind.. Feb. 17. BLOOMLltS FOR STItEET, WEAR, Yonne Women Wli Defy Wet IVealber Wttliont Skirts. San Francisco Examiner. Only a few month ago .some degree ot courage was required on ' the part of a woman :whp. wore bloomers even for the purposeof bicycling, and when he left her wheel she lost no time in doffing tha garments. Now the bloomer is lxlnc adopted for wet-weather raiment. Women walk the stm-ts arrayed in bloomem and leggings, not disguised by so much a a short skirt. There are not many of these women vet, but there will be more. The ploneers'appeared last week. There were two of them, and It may be imagined before they started out they admonished each other not to weaken. They did not weaken. Perhaps In each feminine heart there was a flutter, but there was no outward sign of It. They knew that everybody stared. They may have caught some sentiments of disapproval, but they marched along Montgomery street giving no heed. They did not assume the unconscious air under which acute self-consciousness sometimes seeks shelter, but went along calmly, as If attending to their own affairs, as Indeed they were. Men stopped to look, and some of them went on wagging their beads. Women whos skirts were heavy with rain and fringed with mud swept their drapery, aside with an air that was plainly an expression of gratitude that ihey were modest and soRgy and uncomfortable. Yet for all the attention the bloomered pair attracted It was less than bestowed on the first bellshaped skirt that was a few months a so trailed alon? Market street by a fearless devotee of fashion. The women in bloomers carried no umbrel las, nor did either have a mackintosh. It was plainly to be seen that rain had no terrors for them when they were engaged In? defying, buffeting, and ultimately educating the public opinion that would condemn them to the tyranny of" petticoats. A police officer looked at the two, but paid nothing a circumstance showing him wlso In his feneration, for why the costume of a woman) should concern him Is not easy to understand. . Both women -were of good figure, of course. The degree of bravery that would Impel a woman to display herself afoot lnj bloomers, if not blessed with shapeliness. Is something beyond human Imagination. Each had selected colors most becoming to her. One wore a tweed suit-light-In color, the baggy trousers reaching the knee. Her leggings wc e black, toque blue, and she haS shoes so heavy that they came down with a thud. By way of contrast, the other had dark bloomers. leggings of tan. and toque of white. . Each combination was effective. Since they made their appearance their example has been followed by several other women, so many that It is reasonable to suppose that before long the promenading bloomer will excite no more attention than the one that spins by on her wheel and in accepted as a matter of fact; provided, of course, that rain is falling and the pavements are muddy. Nevertheless, there is stubborn opposition. The bloomer has the disadvantage as a walking suit to be comfortable and to have some basis In utility. If It were an absurd balloon sleeve now, or a humped-up bustle decreed by fashion, it would have clear sailing into popular esteem. Comments were various. An elderly, lady threw up hr hands In unfeigned borror. An apparent spinster also threw up her hands, but doubts were expressed by: observers as to the genuineness of her horror. Still, she may have been thinkinx of tho figure she herself would have cut unsklrted and pantalooned. Several younrf women were heard to wish that they dared to follow the example to pluckily net. The most outspoken demur came from men. They did not ay anything to th bloomered folk, but thev remarked that they would Just like to see their wives togged out like that, meaning that they would not like to see anything of the kind. The two women met a gentleman acquaintance. He wa not weak enough to tetray surprise. Ha tipped his bat politely, the greeting wan returned, and he passed on. That the glrl did not seem confused, and did not event blush the least little bit, was probably their greatest triumph of the day. Ilnlldlnic Termlta. Robert Silver, frame house.
