THE M’COY-RUHLIK MILL WILL TAKE PLACE IN OHIO MAY 4. ♦ The “Kid's” Invitation to Maher— Phillip* and Foreman Clinched for Indiannpoli* Team. “Kid” McCoy and “Doc” Payne arrived yesterday direct from New Orleans, and both will remain here until alter the fistic entertainment at Tomlinson Hall on Monday night, which will be under the control of George Siler as referee. McCoy left New Orleans in a hurry to avoid possible arrest, growing out of the match ‘ with Bonner, •which the authorities headed off, and it is not his purpose ever again to attempt another appearance there.* Immediately after his arrival here there was a talk with “Billy” Madden on behalf of Ruhlin, and it was agreed to accept the offer of the athletic club at Columbus, Wednesday, May 4, being the date. Madden and Ruhlin left for Columbus last evening. Madden preferred to pull off the match at Athens, Pa., but he yielded his wishes in deference to McCoy's views that inasmuch as both he and Ruhlin had many friends in Ohio, financially it woulc be the better State. Concerning possible future engagements McCoy said: “If Chcynskl is out of the business—and I understand that he iSr-Mahec won’t have, to look any farther for a match. In the meantime, if there is any middle-weight ambitious to pose as champion he will soon be accommodated if he will post SI,OOO to show his sincerity: the forfeit to go as a sidebet if a match is made. I will fight as often as any club sees fit to hang up a good purse-. I will travel anywhere to accommodate them. Meanwhile Maher need not delay.” McCoy also stated that it was his ambition to meet Fitzsimmons, and all Os his battles were with that object in view, hopeful of winning a place for himself where he could compel Fitzsimmons to give him a chance.

SWALLOWING THE PILLS. Phillips and Foreman Come to Terms —New Rule In Rain Cheeks. The new arrivals yesterday added the names of Charles Knepper, of Knightstown, and Ace Stewart to the list of Indianapolis players to report for duty. Knepper is an amateur who defeated all the crack teams he pitched against last summer, and made a reputation as a terror for himself. The Western Laague pace may prove too hot for him, but, in any evmt, he will be retained through a farming contract with some W estern Association team, probably Burlington, which club will probably get several more men from here, t As predicted by the Journal. “Bill” Phillips has signed and written a letter to Manager Allen from his home at Allenport, Pa., stating that his father was seriously ill and that he could not report a* soon as he desired to. However, he told Manager Allen that, should he want him at once, he would coma He was told to use his own judgment and report when his family! troubles were allayed. Frank Foreman has also swallowed his pill gracefully, and leaves his home in Baltimore to-day for this city. He will sign as soon as he arrives. A message has been received from Bruner, a colt pitcher, that he has been water-bound at Galiipoiis. 0.. where the country for miles around is flooded. Much anxiety is felt over Fleming, the New Castle man. The club paid some hard cash to New Castle for the release of the man. and he gives indications of being the proper man to lit in the outfield, which still has an empty corner. If Fleming comes up to expectations the outfield this season will consist of Hogrtever, McFarland and Fleming..while the infield will be Deady. Stewart, Allen and Hoffmeister in all probability, with “Dibl>y” Flynn as utility man. The latter, while a cracking good outfielder, wants to play the infield, which everyone knows he can do. It is. therefore, his own choice to be made utility man Tlie steam baths were put up yesterday, and by to-day the boys will begin to use them to help reduce flesh and promote elasticity and "ginger,” Anew rule, which the “fans” will welcome this season, has been decid'd or. by the club. Hereafter rain checks will be issued at any stage of the game up to the end of the fifth inning, instead of limiting them to the third inning, as formerly. On* Belt League Meeting To-Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., March 00.—Presidents and managers of the Anderson. Muncle, Marion, Kokomo, El wood and Alexandria local organisations will meet In the National Hotel, at Muncle, to-morrow afternoon. for the purpose of effecting the organization of the Indiana GaS Belt Baseball league and to arrange a schedule of KM games for each club. Cal McCollough will probably be. made permanent president and Fred Gavin, of the Montpelier Herald, will probubiy be made secretary. The season will open about April 20. and Sunday games will be played. The salary limit will run about S6OO for the four months. All of the local organizations have been effected, and • the outlook is very promising. The cities form a model six-dub organization. The population of these cities ranges from 10,000 to 25.000. and is made up of classes which are enthusiastic.over baseball. Mr. Cleveland and Yellow Journalism New York Post.

BULLS WERE RAMPANT ♦ NOTABLE ADVANCES IN STOCKS ON NEW YORK EXCHANGE. Conviction that Spaninh-Americnn Situation Will Not End in War —Local Trade Dull. At New York, yesterday, money on call was steady at 1*60.2 per cent.; last loan, 1% per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 5@6% per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.83%fi4.83% for demand and at $4.50%®4.81 for sixty days; posted rates, and $4.84%@4.85; commercial bills, S4.SO. Silver certificates, 35%@56&c; bar silver, 50%c; Mexican dollars, 44%c. At London bar silver was at 25 11-16d an ounce. Total sales of stocks, 561,000 shares, including: Atchison preferred, 8,865; Chesapeake & Ohio, 5,900; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, £6,342; Louisville & Nashville, 19,520; Manhattan, 33,675; Metropolitan, 21,831; Reading preferred, 5,640; Missouri Pacific, 7,500; Northern Pacific, 16.520; Norther Pacific preferred, 26,070; Reading, 3.890; Rock Island, 32,575; St. Paul, 71,116; Southern preferred, 4,6:10; Union Pacific, 54,320; Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf, 4,425; Tobacco, 15,420; People's Gas, 16,390; Consolidated Gas, 4,235; General Electric, 5,345; Sugar, 159,512; Tennessee Coal and Iron, 3,195; Western Union, 5,859. Yesterday’s transactions in stocks might fairly be termed a runaway bull market. The overwhelming conviction of all operators on Wall street seemed to be that a peaceful adjustment of the controversy with Spain is probable. Any of the minor developments of the day which seemed to contradict this assumption or threaten the defeat of this outcome were persistently and confidently ignored. There were reactions at times during the day, but these were evidently due merely to realizing sales by those who were content to take a large profit already assured. These realizing sales were absorbed without at anv time reducing the level of prices to Tuesday night’s close, or even near it, and the market several times rallied to near the top figures of the day under renewed buying. The day closed with such a buying movement in full force and with prices near the highest level. The day's net gains in the railroad list ranged from 1 to 3 points, and in the specialties gains of over 5 points in Sugar and nearly 7 points in Metropolitan Street-rail-way were scored. Some of the shorts put out in Monday’s bulge were covered to-day and perhaps helped on the advance materially, but the leading influence in the marke*. was a rampant speculative buying movement. London was credited with being a large buyer here, but foreign exchange failed to reflect the fact, the tone of exchange being firm. This might be due to slightly easier time money, which was no less significant of the prevailing confidence in peaceful outcome than the strength in stocks. Prices of Americans in London had risen before the opening here, but cabled reports said that this was due to buying on New York orders. Spanish government bonds also showed strength in Paris and Lundon, but this was called a reflection of the strength of American securities rather than the cause of it. Early reports from Washington that Spain had agreed to free Cuba for $200,000,000 indemnity caused the first powerful upward impetus. Abstentation of the Senate foreign relations committee from reporting any of the warlike resolutions in its custody and the refusal of the House to interrupt the progress of the President’s negotiations with the Spanish government were interpreted as favorable factors. No account was apparently taken of the implied suggestion accompanying these actions that the President’s demands on Spain were sufficiently firm and farreaching to meet the objections of those who had threatened to oppose him in Congress. The underlying conviction in financial circles was that whatever these demands may be Spain would accede to them and thus avert hostilities. The bond market was by no means as active as stocks, but the tone was strong, and some notable gains in prices were scored. Total sales, $2,425,000. United States fours, coupon, advanced I*6, and United States new fours, registered, 1 bid. There were sales of the fours, coupon, at 1 per cent, over Tuesday’s bid price and of the old fours, coupon, at I*6 over Tuesday’s bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.

Owing to uncertain weather, with the highways deep in mud and the railroads still somewhat crippled as a result of the recent floods, trade is not as active as the wholesale merchants had looked for, but all are confident that with good weather und good roads the volume will reach very satisfactory proportions. in prices there have been no Important changes. Sugar has a hardening tendency, while coffee rules easy In tone, but, as a rule, staple groceries are Arm and steady In price. On Commission row trade has Improved slightly. Choice apples are bringing good prices, but inferior stock is lower. Oranges are firmer. In the vegetable line prices are stronger than ten days ago. So long as thu

NERVOUS GRAIN MARKET EARLY ADVANCE IN WHEAT ALMOST ENTIRELY WIPED OIT. * Otliev Product* Fluctuated Narrowly, with Clunlok Price* Practically t ncliaiißed, CHICAGO, March 30.—Wheat to-day closed nervous, with all but %c of an early advance lost. The sailing of anew Spanish fleet, the news from Washington and rumors of a favorable crop report precipitated general selling, particularly by longs who had a profit. Other products follotved wheat in a narrow way, closing quotations showing scarcely any change from yesterday. Wheat displayed some strength at the start and for about an hour there was a good demand from shorts and not a little general buying, following the extreme weakness of yesterday's market here, the Liverpool market showed surprising strength. Another source of strength was the Northwestern stocks, which were reported at 2,250,000 bushels, against 5,300,000 bushels last month. It was said that farmers had even sold their seed wheat. These were the factors in the opening strength starting July %c higher at 82%it82%c. For a few minutes the market displayed nervousness, selling between 8'2%-c and 82% @B2Then the sharp advance which was taking place in Wall street stocks and more quieting reports as to the Cuban situation lent additional strength to the market andj started a quiet buying movement which carried the price up to 82%c. Here the market again sagged under realizing by scalpers and some of the first buyers, but the decline was limited to about %c For an hour the market fluctuated nervously within a narrow range under the operations of scalpers, but around the noon hour continued strength of Wall street and rumors of impending Cabinet changes stiffened the backbone of wheat holders, resulting in advance in the price to 83%c. As was the case yesterday, routine news was given very little attention. Northwest receipts were 358 cars, against 240 last week and 391 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 63 cars. The additions to the contract stocks to-day amounted to 88,200 bu, 36 cars coming from regular sources, while mixing houses contributed 36 cars and 16,200 bu of No. 1 Northern. Primary receipts were 337,000 bu. Atlantic port clearances were reported at 250,000 bu. Closing prices at Liverpool and Paris showed substantial advances. May wheat was little heard of. It sold at $1.03 shortly after the opening, but quickly recovered to $1.04 and remained at that figure until near the close. Some July buying by Leiter cut no small figure in the advance in that future to 83%c, though it was not or. a large scale. The market held firm at around that price until the last half hour, when attempts to sell out long wheat with good profits attached to it, coming about the same* time rumors were circulated to the effect that the forthcoming Kansas crop report would be the most favorable on record, started a general liquidating movement. Holders had some difficulty in disposing of their wheat and prices dropped quite rapidly in consequence, the market becoming decidedly weak in the last few minutes. After declining to 81%c shorts covered in a moderate way and a rally to 82 @B2%c ensued where the market closed. May closed at $1.03%c. Market for corn was quiet and steady. Shorts did most of the buying, the influence being the strength of wheat and stocks. Trading as a whole was uninteresting and price fluctuations were narrow. May ranged from 29%c to 25%@28%c and closed a shade higher at 28%c. Oats were very quiet, the market In a general way sympathized with the action of wheat and the tendency of the market was upward though trade was too small to cause much variation in prices. Business was mostly of a scalping nature. May ranged from 25%c to 25c and closed %c higher at 25c. Provisions were strong during the first two hours. The strength of grain markets drove in a good many shorts during that time and prices advanced. Later realizing became fairly heavy and the advance gradually disappeared. Packers were the best sellers. The close was steady. May pork unchanged at $9.40; May lard, 2%c higher at $5, and May ribs, 2%c higher at $5.02%. Estimated receipts for Thursday—Wheat, 75 cars; corn, 175; oats, 220; hogs, 26,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Open- High- Low- ClosArticles. ing. est. est. ing.

BOSTON, March 30.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool market: The wool market has been so quiet that it may almost be said that there is no market. As it looks at present, however, it would seem that a turn for the better had taken place in our foreign relations and that the market will not again experience such dullness as has lately characterized it. Much of the dullness in the trade may be attributed to the state of the money market. Very few manufacturers have been seen in the market. Another cause of the dullness is believed to be the increased use of cotton shoddy and other substitutes. The London sales report heavy buying by France and Germany at advancing prices. No sales have been made as yet for American account. Prices are almost purely nominal. Practically ro one cares to buy at the existing quotations, but on the other hand sea roe! y anyone wtll make any concessions. The sales of the week amount to 293,000 lbs domestic and 60,000 lbs foreign, making a total of 353.000, against a total of 1,299,500 for the previous week and a total of 12,839,500 for the corresponding week last year. LONDON, March 30.—The offerings at the wool auction sales to-day aggregated 12,435 bales and included a good selection of scoured merinos, the bulk of which was taken by the continent. Locks and pieces received the most attention. Fine greasy merinos showed a hardening tendency. A lot of blue greasy stock was eagerly competed for by Yorkshire. Some Punta Arenas sold quickly after showing a hardening tendency. The attendance was good. Following are the sales in detail: New South Wales—3,37o bales; scoured, 10%d @ls 5%d; greasy. 6@lld.

Dry Good*. NEW YORK, March 30. —The dry goods market Is 'stilj in an unsettled condition, the war talk anty unsatisfactory sales of cotton goods having demoralized it to no small degree. Trading was light in the extreme. Buyers in the market are few and mail orders are not heavy, although there has been some Improvement since the early part of the week. Jobbers report a light week so far, with little or no store trading and unsatisfactory results from direct mail orders, or salesmen's efforts in most departments. Collections continue fair. The domestic demand for staple cotton goods is universally poor. Export goods are also quiet, although there are continued deliveries on previous orders for China and other Eastern markets. The steady demand, however, comes from South American ports. Print cloths are bid for at 2c for extras, but manufacturers will not sell. Oil*. SAVANNAH, March 30.—Spirits of turpentine firm at 30c.
