BRIBERY IN THE AIR.

Money Said to Have Been Tiled Among Indiana Lawmakers. Indianapolis, Ind., March 7.—During these closing days of^ the legislature more charges of bribery have been made than can be recalled at any former session of the Indiana general assembly. All the proposed legislation against the railroads, including the anti-pass, two cent fare, and Pullman and similar measures, which were urged early in the sesssion, have been stifled, and it is said the railroad lobby has poured out money like water. There is also talk of the use of money in the fee and salary and the building loan bills. At the investigation of the Roby bill theft Clerk Agnew declared that A. F. Knott, an attorney at Hammond.had offered him $5,000 to lose the bill. Other witnesses said it was understood Knott was the attorney for Roby. As a climax to the promiscuous bribery charges Gov.

WITH THE TRADERS.

after an early weakness WHEAT CLOSES STEADY. Good Demand for Shipment —Corn Trri Dull, Without Material Change in Price- —Active Trade in Provisions — In Wall Street. Chicago, March 7.—There was good action in wheat again this morning. Little attention was given to the easier public cables, English and continental, because they were regarded as the reflection of the Wednesday market here. ■The Price Current summary contained the old argument that supplies of wheat in this country will show 50,000,090 bu less than a year ago. On the early buying the May price got up from 53%c at the opening to 54%@54%c. Then northwestern wheat receipts showed 381 cars, against 345 last year. Primary markets had 344,000 bu, although Minneapolis and Duluth had 288,000 bu out of the total. Export clearances were very disappointing to the bulls with only 59,000 bu wheat and 9,000 bbls of flour out of the four Atlantic ports. New Orleans added 10,000 bu wheat, and the total from the five ports reached only 109,000 bu. Before midday a batch of Paris cables came through the big houses announcing a decline of *4 franc in wheat and weather improving. At the same hour there was a rumor on the floor that an investigation of the stocks of wheat in Chicago public houses was about to be made. Altogether the trade weakened and the May price dropped from around 54c to 53%@53%c. From tills there was but I fe rally up to the last hour. Durir cl ist hour wheat sold at the low r of .lie day for May at 53%e ar '<, 1 . very to 53%c at the close. ; Of :i cash sales of wheat 2,000,00:- ,a « to. 2 red wheat gave the streng. • . _ tie close.

As for many days previous there was but little trade in corn. The May price ranged but %c for the session up to 1 o'clock. May opened 44%c, firmed to 44%c, when wheat sold over_s4c, then went off to 43%e, with slight rally to 44%c later. Receipts here were 154 cars, and for tomorrow 204 cars. Primary markets showed only 201,000 bu corn receipts, with shipments 122,000 bu. Atlantic ports cleared but little corn, while New cleared 51,000 bu. Cables were easier. The market closed without activity or feature of any kind at 44%c for May. There was some stir in provisions again. Pork started 5c higher and made a gain at best point of nearly 30c ovei last night. May pork sold $10.67% to $10.85, to $10.75, to $10.90, and closed $10.85, about 25c higher. May lard sold $6.57% and $6.62%, closing at the top; ribs, $5.47% to $5.60, closing at the top.
