Prime mercantile yaper 4 6 per cent.

The stock market continued to show a decreas
ing volume of business, and to-day waa the dull
est day in shares that vre have had for some time.
There was, however, a marked change in the
temper of the dealings from tlose of yesterday.
The weakness all disappeared, and, although tho
movements !n the list were confined almost
exclusively to the specialties which are moved
toy influences peculiar to themselves, and which
have no effect or bearing upon the rest of the
lit, there was a general upward tendency, and,
with a few unimportant exceptions, toe-entire
list was fractionally higher this evening. Lon
don prices came higher this morning, and were
of m aterlal influence in making the tone of the
local market, which opened generally slight
fractions better than last evening's figurct. The
tone of the subsequent dealings was tinner, and
small fractional advances were made among the
few active shares, notwithstanding the opposi
tion offered to an advance by the bear" contin
gent. This pressure was most conspicuous in
Heading, and that stock waa the only one
showing any real activity during the day. and,
although it was forced down to tho lowest price
for a week past, it could not be held there, and
later recovered and closed a fraction better than
last night. The only marked movemements
were among the specialties, and Wa
bash preferred led off with considerable
animation and a strong tone, but this
was followed by a sudden drop in C, C,
C. & I. of 13 percent, to G7, which was sympa
thized with by Big Four and Colorado Coal, al
though the last named afterward recovered.
1 : r noon, when the "bear" pressure was re
moved, there waa a further decrease in the
amount of business done, but the upward tend
ency became more marked, and Memphis &
Charleston became the special feature of the
dealings. It moved up sharply. Its Rain being 5
per cent, to 70, while Manitoba, Philadelphia
Gas and some others advanced smaller amounts.
In the general ll.st tho fluctuations continued
within narrow limits and seemed to possess no
fclgnlflcance whatever. In the unlisted depart
ment, the trusts were less active and made no
movement of Importance and Brunswick was
dull and steady at 2 16. The closo was strong
at the best prices of the day. Memphis and
Charlcstown is up 5; Manitoba 4V, Oregon
Navigation 2 Wabash preferred., 14; Hocking
Valley 1 per cent, and others fractions.
Itailroad bonds were again active and In good
demand although the total of the business done
Teli a little short of that yesterday, being $1.
X8,0O0. The tone, however, was strong from
opening to close, and final declines are few. The
advances, however, include C. C, C. & I. consols
2, to 135; Iron Mountain first 4, to 107, and Mani
toba, Dakota sixes 2, to 122..
Government bonds were dull and steady.

TRADING AT CIIICAGO.
The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the
Range in Prices of Leading: Articles.
CHICAGO, April 24. A good business was
transacted in wheat, and some operators reported
improved outside trading. The market evidently
is now considered on a safer basis for business,
and operators, especially outside traders, have
more confidence in the market at present prices,
and a larger and more gcueral business Is ex
pected. Tho feeling developed was somewhat
stronger. The opening was a shade better, and
sold about 3fc0 above yesterday's closing, then
declined o for July, rallied 7c, eased off he,
and closed about - hio higher than yesterday.
May close! about higher than yeste rday. and
Juno commanded hi'Ho premium over May.
"Shorts" covered freely, and some of the traders
who have figured on the selling side for . some
time were credited with havinur taken on some
"long" wheat for a reaction. There was only a
moderate trade in corn, fluctuations being within
14380 range, ami values showed but littie
change from yesterday. The prevailing feeling
was firm, though no advance of consequence
was established. Oats were slow and easy, and
without new features of importance, trading be
ing lighter, and governed entirely by local influ
ences. The feeling was easy, but fluctuations
were slight Hog products ruled lower during
the early part of the session, but after the bulk
of the oficrinn were disposed of the market
temporarily showed more steadiness, and prices
rallied slightly. Toward the close the market
ruled easier again, and prices receded to medium
figures, and closed rather quiet The leading
futures ranged as follows:

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24. Sellers of milling
wheat were endeavlng to get higher prices for
at least the best grades, after speculative mar
kets gave some indication of advancing. Hold-'

which there was an exceedingly small amount
offering, wanted from 1 to 2 cents advance in

preceding day. On low grades there was no im

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Improving Under Favorable Condi
tions, with Firm Prices Prevailing.
Indianapolis, April 21.
There has been a decided improvement in tho
general business situation with the coming of
spring-like weather, and as the summer ap
proaches the indications are that the volume of
trade will be highly satisfactory. In prices, to
day, there were but few fluctuations. Notwith
standing the fact that withiirthe last two weeks
sugars have advanced lh& cent per pound the
tendency is still upward. It should be borne in
mind, however, that sugars have been Belling
very low for three years past, and it is a matter
of surprise that tho advance did not come sooner.
The bulls are making poor headway in trying to
push coffees up. The fact is that they have been
bulled until the highest point they will bear has
been reached, and their present condition will
require good engineering on tho part of coffee
handlers who expect to hold them at the present
Trices. The provision market is rather quiet,
but this is usual at this season of tho year.
Prices rule easy at the changes of Tuesday.
Nothing good can be said of either the flour or the
hide markets. Dry goods men are busy, prices
ruling firm on all lines. The produce men are do
ing a good deal. Early vegetables are in light
supply still, and high prices prevail. Eighty
cents a dozen is still asked for cucumbers. For
green peas $1.50 to $1.75 per bushel box is
asked. The market is practically bare of toma
toes. Old cabbage is selling at $1 per barrel, and
new Mobile growth $3.50 per large crate. Home
fine strawberries were sold to-day at $6 per
case of twenty-four quarts, and inferior stock
was sold as low as $2 per crate. New potatoes
are quoted at from $6.50 to $7 per barrel, and
sell slow. The poultry market is weak, while
eggs and choice nutter are In good request at
quotations.
GRAIN.

nothing doing. For com there is a good iccal

A decoration which may be used in cham
bers, boudoirs or summer cottages is mado
of art muslin and palm leaf fans. One
room seen had a deep dado of rich brick
red patterned art muslin, looped at short
distances by palm-leaf fans, put sideways,
with the handles standing downward. The
mantel ehcLf . and doer were decorated to
potls. $1.00-91.60; 2-boop palls, $1.4091.40;
double washboards. $2,ooa2?75: common wash
match. The fans were alternately self-colored
and painted brick red. Sprays of ivy
were trailing over tho shelf and over the
door. Some of the fans had bows of satin
ribbon tied around the handle.

New England Farmer.
Mrs. Green gave a few choice rules for
dainty desserts that are not to be frozen.
The lirst was orange pudding to be baked
in cups and served with golden m sauce.
Soak one cup of stale bread crumbs in one
half cup of milk until goft, then beat to a
pulp with a epoon. Mix with it the grated
rind of one orange, and the juco of two
saalJ.orauges, or one large orange; judg
ment must be used about this for even the
juice of half a large orange has been
found sufficient It too much is used
the puddings will be too thin.
Add the yolks of two eggs well beaten
and half a cup of sugar; then stir in last
the whites of the two eggs beaten to a stiiF
froth. Butter six earthen cups well, till
with the mixture and bake in a moderate
oven twenty minntes. When they rise in
the center they are done. Turn out on a
platter. For the sanco take one cup of fine
powdered sugar, one-third cup of cream
and two tablespoonfuls of any kind of fla
voring, one-third of cup of butter, the
yolks of two eggs. Beat the butter to a
cream, gradually beat in the sugar, add
the egg yolks, without beating, one at a
time; then beat all together until very
light. Add the flavoring, then tho
cream gradually or it will curdle. Set
in a bowl placed overboiling water, as in
the ton of the teakettle, and cook only long
enough to melt the butter. Pour this golden
eauce around the puddings. A. .delicate
bread pudding originated with tho cele
brated cook, Francattelli. Pour one pint
of boiling milk over ten tablespoonfuls of
breadcrumbs. Let it stand ten minutes.
Then add tho yolks of three or four eggs
well beaten, six tablespoonfuls of sugar,
two of melted butter, and a little salt.
Flavor with lemon, vanilla or nutmeg. Stir
in lastly tho whites of the eggs beaten to a
stiff froth. Pour into a buttered dish and
bake.
Traveling gowns are made mvery simple
but stylish ways in checked cheviot, large
plaided all-wool French cashmere, silk
serges, mohair and soft, tine cloths iu gray
and dull blue shades. There is also a kind of
shot brilliantine or mohair very much used,
shading from blue to gray, grav to reseda,
olive to old rose, ana other harmonizing
variations.
