GluffkaJU* and Dress Goods*

Boston' Commercial-Bulletin.

Aingb&ras are steadier, but the moveBicnt is not encouraging, in spite of the advance of %c In Amoskeag staple fancy mods. There are plenty of tour-cent checks selling at a loss on to-day’s markgt and really the brightest spot is the IXl&c high novelty. Choice styles In these latter goods have been selling extremely well. The general advance on Amoskeags, however, is genuine, and large orders at the old figures hdve been refused. Napped goods are closing out exceedingly w*U. Prices are steady, the movement

good and supplies small.

Dress goods are less active than two weeks since. The orders filled, however, are still by no means to be despised and nrices are quite steady, especially on fpft wool goods, with a slight improvement In the price of saeaings there have been more orders for worsteds with Jacquard effects, both all wool and cotton wan). The strike at Olneyville Is much to bo regretted, as the competition from foreign goods was never so large or so close* Serges seem-likely to be more affected by foreign goods than other dress Knit goods are In pretty fair position. Bummer hosiery and underwear are quite will sold up. The recent advance In heavy cotton yams is making misery for the manufacturers of fall ujiderwearand heavy cotton hose. They have not, however, as yet advanced prices, though fall cotton goods are already very well sold ahead. Wool hosiery in low grades for fall wear Is pretty well sold ahead, but the vegetable fiber is making steady In-

iroads upon wool goods.

Indiaaapoli" Plour Mills*

Oor. Northwestern Miller.

There certainly Is nothing of an encouraging nature in the milling line for tba rest of this crop. Judging from the talk of the farmers, there is but a small amount of wheat yet In their hands. IC*x>m present indications. I should Judge that the Government’s report of 75,000,000 Bushels still In first hands has overestimated, rather than underestimated, the 'amount. The fact that the mills are so generally having great difficulty In obtaining a supply of wheat for their wants demonstrates that the surplus has been fcbout exhausted all over the country. It {$■ not a local complaint, but a general 'one. Tho extent to which feeding of Mock and use of wheat for distilling purposes has been going on Is beginning to show Itself. It Is hoped that a fair movement will take place when spring work on the farms Is completed. The demand for flour has Improved, and bids have been advanced, but not sufficiently to cover the premium our mills must pay for Wheat and. the contingencies that are fpt-eshadowed for the near future. V alues Of flour must surely advance, in the face of tbs present conditions, or millers will tl obliged to quit making flour and go flahing. Feed has continued In good demaruj, but -the fine condition of the pasturealn tilepast few days will Influence

it for ■ahe'Worse.

A Promising Outlook. Duluth Commercial Record. jJThe'XraveHng correspondent of the Comtflhrlcal Record writes from North Dakota that the dry spring will result in many pieces of low land being seeded this season that are not usually cultivated, because Of being under waterat seeding time. This Is another reason for believing thftt the spring wheat area of the Northwest will be fully as large this season as formerly. Add to the 10 per cent, thus to be added to the tillable area, the usual addition from land not hitherto cultivated in Min- ; neaota and North Dakota—possibly 10 per oent. would be ample approximation—and you have about the equivalent of the Increase that has been estimated In the acreage of coarse grains. We are Inclined to believe, however, that the estimates of this Increase In coarse grains are exaggerated. Reports do not warrant the belief that the growing oft wheat has been generally abandoned to any such great extent as newspaper dispatches from widespread points have Indicated. Flow of Gold Ti* New York. 'A number of the New York banks having numerous country correspondents have begun to receive small amounts of gold from the latter. This inflow of the yellbw metal has steadily increased. One of the leading bank presidents In speaking of this said: "Our country correspondents are finding it rreceasary to increase their balances here, and are shipping gold, for that purpose. During the recent gold excitement these banks hoarded all the gold they could carry, and in some cases more than they could handle. I don’t know how general this eastward movement of gold is. but to my mind It Indicates a little better business condition; an opening up of Industry all over the ~ Country." f CITY WHOLESALE QUOTATIONS. \ Dry Goods.

Clearings In the Principal Cities. Clearings at the principal cities ot the United States yesterday and a week ago

were:

The Board of Public Works wishes to have tho names of the east-and-west streets north of St. Clair changed and mane uniform. An ordinance has been drawn up for action by the Council changing the name of Pratt street to Ninth street, and naming each of the other streets north of that in regular numerical order. As Pratt street is nine squares north of Washington, its name and the new names of the streets above will indicate their location, if adopted. In recommending the passage of this ordinance the board says: “We feel that some such ordinance should be peseed, because there are likely to be errors made in assessments, owing to the difficulty in j properly describing these streets continuously from east to west.” Should the- change be made it will be necessary to give a fund of $300, the board says, for getting the proper signs and placing them.

One of tbe Largest Orals Made Here For Soiee Time. The sale of a half-interest In the Atla* engine-works, mentioned in The News yesterday and concluded! to-dny, I* one of the largest transactions that has taken place in the city for several years. The appraisers valued the works at about $600.000, and the half-lntermt that Hugh M. Hanna is buying from Charles and Jew* Fletcher represents, it is understood, about $300,000. The purchase will place the entire works In Mr. Hanna's hands, as a half-interest was already controlled by him.

World’s visible is likely to decrease to-day about *,000,000 bushels. , , Bartlett Frazier sold 10,000 bushels of wheat at 62%c, f. o. b., on cars at Joliet yesterday to an Ohio miller when the market was 61V’C here. The wheat market has been left to its own resources to-day. Pardridge has been a moderate seller. Big men, however, are not con-

spicuous.

Armour has been a buyer of May pork

and a seller of July.

Northwestern stocks wheat, including country elevator stocks, are reported 3.500.000 bushels more than a year ago. Prime reports weather generally very dry for this time of year, and season

backward. .

The expectation Is that there Will be a very large decrease in' the visible Monday. 2.500.000 to 3,000,000 bushels, because of the

scattering of the wheat afloat.

May wheat 61%c in St. Louis, %c over last'flight, and l%c over Chicago. There is a May squeeze down there, and a stampede to get qut. The entire stock down there Is 2,400,000 bushels. It seems to be merely a result of the general disposition to sell. ... D . Wheat is up hei'e on strength in bt.

Louis and Kansas City.

There are numerous inquiries here from millers asking for offers on wheat. The cash property seems to be in very urgem demand. ^ ^ . . „ The renewal of the cash demand is a factor In wheat. St. Louis is 62%c for May. If there wasiany wheat tributary to St. Louis that certainly would fetch it.

HniiKhville. Haughville’s marshal and workmen have begun their spring work of scraping the streets and cleaning the gutters. The enumeration shows that sixty-one of the children of school age in Haughville attend Indianapolis schools. About onethird as many living in the city on Haughville’s outskirts, attend the suburban school. The ex-committee on socials of the Epworth League of the Haughville M. E. church, before retiring from office gave a pie social at the home of Misses Dora and Gertrude Hays, 11 Crawford street, where much pleasure was provided for the many present. Yesterday was the ninety-fifth anniversary of the birthday of Mrs. Anna D. Bittner, of South Belmont avenue, Haughville, and the members of the Ladles’ Aid Society of St. Paul's Reformed church and friends visited her, and took to her many tokens of their esteem. Mrs. Bittner wad born In Bavaria on April 20, 1800, and came to America in 1844, living in Cumberland, O., until 1886. Since ^hen she has been a resident of Marlon county. She has been a widow thirty-three years, and has five out of eight children living, the eldest, Mrs. Weghorn, being sixty-three years old. She has twenty grandchildren, and seventeen great-grandchildren. Mrs. Bittner is deaf and blind, but otherwise has remarkable vitality and clear mental faculties A CAT AND DOG TEASER.

The Scheme of a Man With a Pall of Milk and An Electric Battery. New York Sun. 'T’ve got a great scheme,’’ said an Ingenious Orange county man. "There’s no patent on it either. It is just a cat and dog teaser, and it beats anything I ever saw for the purpose. I got an old stove zinc and laid it on the ground near the back door. Then I put a wooden bucket of milk on the zinc. In the kitchen I’ve got a battery of two-galion cells and a fourinch coll with a vibrating circuit breaker. One wire is connected to the zinc plate and the other terminates in a piece of metal in the milk. You Just ought to see the effect. A cat comes along, smells the milk and goes for it. She just touches the milk with her whiskers and looks puzzled when the slight tingling shock Is felt. Then she returns to the attack and touches her tongue to the surface of the milk. Her hair rises then and she emits a yowl of rage or pain as she springs away from the pall and then turns to look back at it. I have seen the same cat take two shocks within as many minutes and then act as if she wanted to try it again, but didn’t dare td. "With dogs it is different. The dog steps upon the zinc, lops his long tongue into the milk and then throws a back somersault. He wants no more after that, but, tucking his tail, streaka out of the yard as quickly as possible. If you want to try it you needn’t use a whole pail of milk. Just take a crockery dish and it will answer just as well.' Milk is cheap up our way, you know, and I took the first thing that came handy.’* Bishop Fallow’* Saloon. Chicago Record. The great public is slowly adapting itself to Bishop Fallows's basement place in Washington street. It isn’t to be eXr pected that every one will learn in a day the difference between a saloon and a "home salon.” The Fallows bar has towels hanging along the front. The cash register Is flanked by shiny glasses of various sizes and tall black bottles with printed labels. The ice-box, the shiny faucet, the white-coated bartender and the row of lemons assist in making the deception complete. Accordingly the Home salon has become a trap for the unwary. Every day the unsuspecting man with a dry thirst comes down the stairway, saunters up to the bar and confidently orders some sort of alcoholic drink. If he says “beer,” the bartender gives him a foaming glass of the compound which cools and cheers, but Can not inebriate. It has a flight “tang," and sometimes the customer will throw off the drink before he finds that he has been grossly deceived into buying something harmless. He may not protest, but as he departs there will be an expression of puzzled distrust on his face. Other visitors are amazed when they learn that the tall bottles contain only ginger ale, mead, unfermented grape Juice and other soft beverages. Two men came in the other day and wanted to "shake the box.” The bartender pointed to the large picture of Francis Willard and explained that gambling was not allowed. At noonday, when the lunch Is being served, there is something contradictory in the sight of modest, well-behaved young women at work in a place which has all the outward trappings of a gay bar-room. The crowd at the tables is altogether too orderly, also, hut it takes seriously to the establishment and seems like the soft

drinks.

Reasonable Complaint. Chicago Tribune. "Walter,” said the guest, “I wish you’d ask the proprietors to turn on a little more light. It’s so dark here I can’t tell whether I’m eating planked shad or a paper of pins." Price’s Cream Baking Powder Is the guide of young matrons. One teaspoonful equal In value to three of cheap stuff.

After Bicycle Licenses. The clerks in the city comptroller's office are enjoying the sight of more pretty gins than have ever before come down Into the yellow twilight of the court-house base- j ment to visit that office. The young j women are bicycle-riders who have come to get licenses and the shining piece of j metal acompanylng them to be placed on | their wheels. In former days about the j only thing to briig? a young woman to i the comptroller’s office was a pet dog. The new wheel women are naturally of a bright appearance with an added flush of good looks from their new enthusiasm and athletic exercise. The number of licenses given out shows the extent of bicycling in Indianapolis. At the close of business, April 21, 1,990 licenses had been issued for bicycles against 1,375 issued up to the same date last year, an Increase of 615, although the ordinance requiring the taking out of licenses was more strfngent in its provisions last year. It is likely that there are still many bicycles without licenses, though since The News published the information that riders without licenses are likely to be arrested there has been a rush to the comptroller’s office, bringing up the number of licenses Issued to abou. 200 a day. The number of new bicycles bought is shown by the fact that 254 licenses were issued on the first twenty days of April on wheels bought in that month. Adam* & Co. Proteet. J. D. Adams & Co. presented a written protest against the rejection of their bids on steel bridges over Pleasant run at Itaymond and Spruce streets, declaring their bids the lowest and best and proposing to take legal steps against the

rejection.

President Holton, of the board said that Adams had admitted to the board that he was a speculator in bridges, and could not tell who was to build the bridges for him. The board would not accept a bid under such indefinite circumstances. "That’s only a bluff,” remarked Mr. Osterman, after he had read the com-

pany's protest. « Mn*t Repair Trenches. \

The Consumers' Gas Trust Company was ordered to repair twenty bad trenches In Elm sti-eet, between Dillon and Pine streets, and Jhree In Buchanan street. Plumbers leaving any bad places in Buchanan street in making •water connections will be notified to make

repairs.

The Water Company was notified Uiat its work in filling up trenches was *unsatlsfactorv in many places and was informed that the board would not permit ♦he dirt left ridged up and left to settle but that all dirt must be rammed back

leaving the street level.

Central Avenue Pavement. Property-owners In Central avenue, from Tenth to Fifteenth street, became alarmed by rumors that a cheap pavement was to be laid south of their strip of asphalt, leaving them isolated. They sent a vigorous protest. The Board of Public Works has, however, been arranging for an asphalt street in Ft. Wayne avenue and up Central avenue to Tenth, making a continuous asphalt connection

with the center of the city. For Medical Examination.

The Board of Public Safety has ordered to the police surgeon for medical examination all those who have recently made application for positions on the police and fire forces. No more applications will be received for examination for these positions until the present list is exhausted. There were sixty-flve applicants for the fire .force and forty-four for the police

force.

DlupoMal of Cranhed Stone. The Board of Public Works understands that Messrs. Conduitt & De Ruiter have teen selling or disposing of crushed stone taken out of the trench dug by them for the placing of the Seventh-street sewer. They have been notified to appear and give an explanation Thursday morning. Minor City Affairs. Property-owners in Chesapeake street, from Missouri to California street, remonstrated against a local sewer. Walnut street property-owners, from Massachusetts avenue to Peru avenue, remonstrated against asphalt roadway and cement walks. Sinker, Davis & Co. were ordered to remove the projection of their switch across the east sidewalk of Pennsylvania street, next the Union tracks. Two days’ pay to Fuehrtng Brothers for cleaning Seventh street, from Alabama to Mississippi street, was deducted, because of It not being clean April 20. A remonstrance against a local sewer In Lord street was filed by property-own-ers along the rear of Tacoma and Temple avenues, from Washington to Ohio street. J. B. Campbell, who was to have appeared before the board representing the American Reduction Company In a proposal in regard to garbage, Will not be In the city until Friday. The names of thirty-three propertyowners. headed by E. B. Martindale, were signed to a remonstrance against the Improvement of Meridian street, from New York to St. Clair, with a concrete base under the proposed blocks. Robert Keller presented a petition from twenty-two property-owners for asphalt In East street from Virginia avenue to Morris street. Brick has been considered for this street, but the engineer has been ordered to prepare papers for asphalt. LOCAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.

It was shown in this report that the school campaign last year had coat the council $6.18. Mrs. Jenckes told, among many things, of her failure to get 1,500 circulars by mall to where they would do the most good among the voters during her canvass as candidate for school director. The labor Involved was too consuming, and she gave it up before the work was half done. Mrs. Holman, as chairman of a committee to learn from the proper people whether it were advisable to put a woman candidate In the race for school

director this year, reported adversely. Intimating that an effort was being made

Charles T. Doxey, of Anderson, was in the city to-day. Mr. Doxey's name has been connected with a reported deal by which he and others were to possess themselves of valuable Indiana oil rights.

He said the report probably originated because he and several ethers, In defiance of geological theories, Intended to deepen a gas well near Anderson several hundred feet, to see what they might flno—oil being particularly desirable. Police Court Cases. In the Police Court this morning Dora King and Nora Morris were charged with being bad characters, and Korah Kindcll was 'charged with associating With them. The arrests were made last week. This morning it transpired that Kindell had married Dora King In the county jail, and that Nora Morris had married Percy Hoffman at the same time. The judge took the case under advisement, saying that he hardly thought it was right for people to be allowed to marry under such circumstances. William Murray was charged with assault on George W. Donovan. The assaulted man’s face was entirely swathed in bandages. His nose had been nearly severed • from his face, and he testified that Dr. Eisenbeiss had been obliged to take forty-seven stitches in his wounds.

REDISTRICT THE CITY. North Indianapolis Annexation May yyike Thia Necessary. The redlstrletlng of the city, made necessary before the next election by the annexation of North Indianapolis, is a question causing some agitation among Republicans, and one Which will have to be settled soon. Two ways are under consideration. One Is to add the annexed territory to the Third and Fourth wards.and this involves the question of equitable proportion in the division. The other is a general rearrangement of ward lines In t'he city. This, Republicans say, is sure to bring up a cry of gerrymander. Some do not favor the enlargement of the Third and Fourth wards. They say that the wards In the northern part of the city, where the most Republican votes are, are already larger than the Democratic wards. When a Girl Fall* In Lave.
