TRADE AND COMMERCE..
Business Still Hand-tO-Mouth in Character,
Yet Improving Somewhat.

INDIANAPOLIS, March s.
The leading markets continue to move along
quietly. Trade is still hand-to-mouth in eharac-
ter, yet there is a fair and increasing volume of
business in the aggregate. Fluctuations in value,
for a week past, have been very few. The gen
eral position of the egg market remains I'M
changed. The Western markets continue above
those of the East, and there will soon have to
be a change at one end or the other. Dealers
generally report an improved demand for choice
fresh country butter, and for such prices are
better, but poor stock does not appear to be
wanted at any price. Buyers are hard to
please, both as to quality and price. While
there is no particular activity ia cheese, prices
are frmer. Poultry, both live and dressed, in
small supply. TIL sugar market is firm: distPi-
button large for the season of the year. Coffee.
as well, is in a strong position. In provisions
there is an easier feeling, and prices are weaker
at quotations. The wool market is still duh.
both West and East.
GRAIN.
The week closes with a brisk demand for
wheat, corn and oats. The receipts are still fall
ing below the demand, and little is said about
futures. The Board of Trade Price Current says
of wheat: The local markets remain firm, both
as to prices and offerings. There is some little
activity in futures, but none offered. Receipts
of choice are scarce, and the milling demand for
the same is good, New York is l2c higher,
Baltimore is steady, while Chicago has advanced
lc from yesterdays quotations. We quote:

RHEUMATISM and NEURALGIA have
long enough run riot in the human
RVRfem.

RHEUMATISM and NEURALGIA nave
long enough run riot in the human
system.
They have tormented the human family and
dehed the medical faculty from time out of memory
they have corrupted the blood, demoralized the joints,
vexed the nerves, agonized the muscles and racked
the brain with wearying pain
"AT~HLoPHoRes" is the enemy of Rheuma-
tism and Neuralgia, repairs their damages, renews
the blood, eases the joints, calms the nerves, soothes
the muscles, gives rest and peace 10 the troubled
brain, and ensures delightful sleep
"ATHLoPHoRos" is q new remedy, but It has
timonials from welLknown persons who had long
been sufferers. 1t has turned their diseases out. 1t
has cured them. That is alls-and that is enough.
"ATHLoPHoRos" can do for you what
it has done for those sufferers. 1t can
drive out your rheumatism and Neuralgia,
and will do SO if you give it a fair trial.
"ATHLoPHoRos" has by this time had such a
good trial all over the country that its true work is
known, and its true character proved.
"ATHLoPHoRos" means Prize Bearer"
Victor; i" =" Conqueror." 1t carries off the prize as
VICTOR over the attacks of these terrible maladies,
and CoNQUERoR of the frightfuf agonies their vic
Tins have endured. Not a mere temporary relief,
but a permanent, enduring, and triumphant cure.
II you cannotget AT%HLoPHoRos of your drug
giSt- we will send it express paid. on receipt OF
regular price-one dollar per bottle. We prefer
that you buy it from your druggist, but If he
haSn't 1t, do not be persuaded to try something
else, but order at once from US as directed.

Modern Trial by Ordeal.
from Chambers Journal. |

fFrom Chambers Journal.I
A gentleman who some years ago.
acted as surgeon to several friendly
societies in the county of Durham
relates the following anecdote, which!
occurred between him and one of his
rustic constituents. A member of an
Odd-Fellows' lodge came one
evening for advice as to the usual
hour of consultation. The symp-
toms were duly detailed, and the
surgeon prescribed mixture which con-
tanned two grains of tartrate of anthony
in eight ounces of water. The patient
on arriving home took a dose IF his
medicine, but was annoyed to find that
it bad 80 little taste, and that, moreover,
it presented no solid material t. be
shaken up. On submitting the bottle
to his wife she also, on tasting pronounced
it to be "nowt but wetter." He thsn took
counsel with some of his brethren, Nho,
were not very favorabIy disposed toward
the doctor, and, yielding to their ad-.
vice, entered complaint to the LODGE
In due time the doctor received from tee
secretary notice to attend and answer
Brother Jones charge to the effect that
he had been supplied with water instead
