The Weather More Favorable to Trade-Bus-
mess of the Month Disappointing.
INDIANAPOLIS March 80.
Business men are now good deal interested
in the weather; it is time to have genuine
spring, and with its coming, good trade is an
ticipated The volume of business in the month
now nearing its close was unquestionably disap-
pointing Whether just or not the dizziness is
charged up to raw, cold weather fer March and
its continuance from day to day through the
entire month. Especially have dry goods men and
fancy notions dealers suffered. Grocers report
trade fairly active and no change in prices, which
as a rule are steady as quoted. Eastern dis
patches to some of the brokers reported sugars
frmer, and the feeling begins to obtain again
that hard-pan has been reached In hog prod
ucts, but little is doing 1t is believed that
warmer weather will improve matters. The
produce men are complaining of quiet times
The trouble is however that there TOO many
of them in the business for a market like In
danapolis. The egg market was weaker TO- day,
owing to the warmer weather, q light demand
and an increased pressure to sell. Some of our
oldest dealers saw they never knew such light
demand Immediately preceding Easter. As will
be seen, we have made further reduction in our
quotations, and there is no assurance at the pres
ent writing that hard pan has yet been reached.
Choice country butter continues in demand. Po-
tatoes in scant supply.
GRAIN.
The local market was rather tame to-day,
denlers bidding slow, more especially on wheat and
corn. The Board of Trade Price Current says
of wheat that there is not much activity in local
circles. and all grades are generally lower and
dull. Futures are not wanted Receipts only

days one acre of clover evaporated 430
tons of water. The best way To till the
soil is with fine prong forks, and the
best way to fertilze IL is with green
crops of rye, clover or buck heat.
Stable manure IL not 30 easily spread,
and costs more time and money than

manure. On July IA DR.. Harlan says

The second Adventists of Concord,
New Hampshire, are buoyant and
beautiful people. Nothing discourages
them, or shakes their faith IN the
speedy end of the world. That event
having been announced some score or
30 of times, and having punctually
failed to occur on each specified date,
they pick their fiints and try again,
and having fixed upon fresh date ut
once proceed to rouse their enthusiasm
by special services. This time the 10Th
of May Is declared to be the day of
doom, with positively no postpone
ment on account of weather 1t might
hare been thought that after 30 many
the Adventist prophets
would have grown cautious, and have
secured themselves against further
failure by choosing date somewhere
about the middle of the twentieth CEN
tury. But they evideBtly scorn all
subterfuges, and are resolved to have
all the excitement that can be got out
Of predictions OF a winding. up close at
hand, even If they are compelled by
the obstinate permanence of the uni
verse to announce unavoidable post.
ponements again and again. So they
prepare their ascension robes, and
settle their worldly affairs, and say
good-by to all their unbelieving neigh
bors who are doomed to perditi0n; and
then they gather together and have
such real good time as can only be
enjoyed by those who firmly believe
that erybody else Is about to shoot
Niagara.
How the Adventists account to
themselves for the monotonous series
Of failures they have experienced is one
Of the IN mysteries of their faith. Mistakes
In calculations and interpretations
might be accepted In explanation once
or twice, but when the same result ap.
pears always, 1t is singular that there
| should be no weakening in the ex-
pectatiOns Of the sect. 1t IL true that
they are not troubled by any of the
doubts which the study Of science in
troduces to such speculations, but the
tenacity of their belief Is proof not only
against knowledge, but against their
own experience. There must be kind
of fascination in the anxious expec-
fancy of their condition, and perhaps ii
resembles in q distant way the attrae.
ton which gambling exerts over certain
minds. No amount of uniformity of loss
can disillusionize the natural gambler.
There is always for him an ideal future
wherein the cards will bring him
fortune. And so these simple people
continue to look forward to the end oi
the world with q fixedncss which nc
disappointment or ridioule can shake,
AID In all probability the next genera
tiou will find them still in the same
attitude, and still hoping, believing in
and awaiting the realization of theil
/ faith.
