FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MONEY AND STOCKS.

A GOOD Business in New York, with Slightly
Higher Prices.
New YORK, Feb, 17-Money easy at az per
cent; offered at the close at 1! per cent.
Prime mercantile paper 4@5 per cent
Sterling exchange dull GO days, S. s31; sight,
@1s61
Governments dull but strong with an advance
Of per cent in the three-percents, to 10l3 bid.
and per cent in four anda-half coupons, to
I22.
State sec urities steady and quiet.
AT the Stock Exchange dealers continue to re-
port a good business. There were changes of
only small fractions in the opening Of the stock
market this morning the majority of the active
stocks showing gains Of to per cent, butt in
early dealings, decline of / to per cent took
place. After quarter of an hour, the de-
cline was stopped, however, and the whole list
became strong, with Lackawanna leading both
in the advance and in the amount of business
done. During the forenoon the sales of Lacka
wanna alone amounted to 80 per cent. of the
total transactions, and the price rose to 99a, the
highest at which it has sold since Dec. IL, 1884
After midday this stock was neglected, while
special attention was given to New York Central
and Lake Shore, although considerable business
Western Union.
New York Central rose to 94ss, gain from the
lowest price of the morning of 2a per cent
Lake Shore advanced L. per cent, and North
western sold at 94l, against 92s early in the
day. The extreme advances were not, however,
fully maintained to the close of the board the
decline in prices of most of the active stocks be-
ing from to per cent The closing quota
tons left everything on the active list higher
than last evening, New York Central making a
gain of II, at 94s; Lake Shore, /; Lackawanna, H.
at 800; Delaware 81 Hudson, II, at 7o4; c., b. 81
O., IL at 1929; Central Pacific Il, at 81; Louis
vile & Nashville, Ii, at 27s. Northwestern was
mp to 81 and New York Central to 81 The only
exception to the above mentioned rule was Union
Pacific which was lower, at as; but the so-called
Gould stocks were comparatively dull after mid
day, and Western Union was only
higher than yesterday, at 58s, after
selling between 57a and $751; dur
ing the afternoon. The advance was accom-
panied by food of rumors, among them the Oft
repeated statement that West Shore and New
York Central differences were about settled, and
that the coal companies had again advanced the
price of coal In regard to the latter the facts
are that the Delaware e. Hudson and the Lehigh
Valley companies have added 10 per cent to
their schedule price for stove coal but the other
companies have made no change in quotations
The other rumor mentioned was semi officially
denied

Points About Frying.
The Caterer

AS rule, when the oil, or fat, ceases to sizzle
it is at a proper temperature Should there be
any doubt. drop the end of a piece of bread in
the fat and allow it to remain for few seconds
If it comes out soft and uncoored the fat is not
hot enough. If it be burnt or charred, it is too
hot; but if slightly brown and crisp you may
commence your frying, for the proper temper,
ature is reached. There is one more point to be
remembered, if you would make your frying a
success. Put in but a little, at time, of the
material to be fried, otherwise the temperature
of the fat will be dropped too suddenly.

The Situation Practically Unchan ged-Busi-
ness Retarded by the Severe Weather.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. IT.
The opinion prevails that the severe cold
weather thus far this month has been the most
serious drawback upon trade and that
with the coming of more comfortable
weather there will be revival of bust
9ess in most departments quite satisfac-
Dry in volume. The reports of travelling sales
men go far to strengthen such belief The
1arger movement of grain, lumber, stock, etc.,
which win follow more moderate weather, and
the more prompt movement Of freights
by the railroads must act favorably
upon trade. In the local market, there
is little calling for special mention. In most de-
partments trade is at a stRndstill, practically
awaiting some decent indiana weather. Dry
goods men, boot and shoe and hardware dealers
report trade decidedly Slim The hide market
as well. is lifeless. Grocers are doing something
but their trade is disappointing. There has been
nothing new developed in sugars for couple OF
days past; advices from New York report that
market little more active and steady in price
Roasted coffee in steady demand. while the
green bean is quiet, with quotable change in
prices recently. Moasses and syrups continue
to rule quiet but steady. The produce market is
quiet Receipts of eggs and poultry continue
meager, and prices are strong at quotations. and
there is good demand for cheese and butter
The weather has been so cold for few days
past, that apples and potatoes are arriving only
in small quantities, and prices have stiffened.
GRAIN.
There is little new to note in the local market
A little more frmness is noticeable in corn.
Prices of other cereals steady, but no higher.
The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat;
'DThs situation in local circles remains practi-
cally unchanged. For immediate use, to I'll order
demands, we note very fair request Offerings
are not numerous and receipts are light. Futures
nominal The East is generally higher" We

rabbi and scholar, recently committed
suicide at Wilksbarre, Pa. In note
written before bis death, be says:
"The only reason that / care to
give to the world for my act is that
after struggle often years I have
become convinced that injustice and
selfshness rule the world, and that /
possess neither strength nor inclina-
ton to continue the struggle any
longer If all who believed in the
injustice and selfshness of this world
were to follow the Rev. Doctors ex-
ample, the next census would show
an alarming falling off in population.

ABoLrsHINa OrrIcEs. Seer,

ABoLIsHING OFFICES. The Secre-
tary Of the Treasury is peeping into
the ratholes of his department and
using heroic measures to rid the gov.
ernment of pestiferous bummers.-
His circular to chiefs of bureaus and
other heads has elected replies from
many showing where little less help
would produce more work. The
Collector of the Port of Baltimore has
not been heard from. Naval Officer
Wilmer can't spare any clerks, but
makes some useful suggestions. Mr..
Thomas Ireland can't get along with.
out brother King. He, however,
thinks it would not affect the success
ful workiI g of his Office, if the poor
fellow that has charge of the revenue
boat at salary Oslo or SO month
were relieved of bis onerous duties
The barge used by the Collector is
is advertised for sale.
These inquiries into the practical
working Of government machinery,
will have good effect anyhow, and
we hope Secretary Manning will not
let up until the many loafers in Office
are weeded out.

Business Depression.

There seems to be general depres.
sion in all kinds of business in our
city. Our merchants complain of the
dreadful backwardness Of the season
and its effects upon trade. They say
they have never experienced such
dull times at this season of the year.
The outlook is any thing but encour-
aging. AS printers ink, judiciously
spread, has often proved The panacea
for dull times, we advise few OF our
merchants and business men to try it.
Tell the people what you have for
sale, and how cheap you can sell it.
Don't be ashamed or too penurious
to spread your business before the
public. It is business like, and gives
your house prominence in the COM
munity. Try it-there is nothing
like trying.

The Glass Factory meeting should
be we'll attended tonight. Our citi.
zens have now an opportunity to
start very profitable business; and as
we have said in the CAPITAL, factories
multiply after q location has been
tested. Five or six thousand dollars
is not much for our city to raise, If
only as an experiment.
