CHICAGO, March 2-The stbulln sentiment
which pervaded the corn crowd at the close yes
terdsy was still active when the board opened
this morning. All the conditions were favora-
and the cold wave was working it's way south;

short" interest in the market May

upward. In the first hour it advanced stead
lily 20 53c, the reactions on the way mp being
very slight and ineonseouential. Trading was
very heavy, there being active buying for both
local and outside account during the earlier part
OF the session BY noon IL looked as though the

selling to realize, and May sold off to 52sc and
closed at 023c. Wheat was an
volume of business transacted, but the trading

character There was moderate trading in

Trade Moderately ActtVe-Coffees Still on the
Dawn Grade Sugars Steady.


Dawn Grade Sugars Steady.
INDIANAPOLIS. March q
Trade is moderately active, unsettled weather
and bad roads checking it more or less. but the
belief prevails that with settled weather good
roads. and spring-like weather, business in all
departments will reach very satisfactory vol
ume. Prices rule are firm. and fluctuations
in values few. Coffees are on the down grade
and roasted grades go off another half cent.
Sugars are steady, but not SO firm as q week
ago. 1t is believed that the present range of
prices will prevail for some time to come. The
lower grades of sugars are said TO be the firm
est The flour market continues rather tame,
but an improvement is looked for in the near
future. 1t is generally believed that prices are
at as low point as they will go this season. as
there is an increasing demand. There continues
to be fair export movement but the markets
abroad do not show any increased
what disappointing, as an improvement
there was confidently looked for during Febru-
airy. The principal cause of the continued de-
preston is said to be the large supplies of -four
at the principal European ports and until these
are distributed no permanent change for the
better can be made. Stocks at all leading
poinus in the West smaller than usual, and
with the large consumption which is going
there is reason to believe that all available sup
pies will be wanted before the new crop
harvested The crop reports are very meaeer
this week, but so far as can be learned the out
look for large yield is not favorable. Still it
is rather early to speculate much this point.
The produce markets fairly active. Eggs
coming in more freely, and they 60 off two
cents per dozen. Poultry firm; arrivals on the
increase, and SO is the demand. Butter is
hardly as firm as week ago. but good article
will bring our best quotation. An Efforts max
ing by the commission men to further spring
prices of potatoes, but thus far with poor sue
cess Jersey sweet potatoes are hard to get
hold OF; Southern stock IN fair supply Or
anges firm and selling quite freely. Lemons in
light supply, and but few calls for them. In
the other markets there is nothing new TO note.
GRAIN.
The local market continues to improve, and
bulls" on the market quite numerous to-
day, and with this the prices on several grades
of wheat corn and oats were shade higher

Received With Loud Applause.

Col. Sanford delivered his lecture
entitled sold Times and New" pm
der the auspices of Fclsom's College,
at Tweddle Hall, last evening, bebre
"a large audience. The lecture,
abounds in wit, humor, and INTEREST
ing historical facts. what the CYlO-
mel has seen in his travels he has
boiled down into lecture OF one
hour and half in length, so that
everybody who hears 1T can easily
remember it without getting an
enlargement of the brain. The Colo
mel is about the height and shape OF
Col. Bob Ingersoll, and carries around
with him the same amOunt of brain
power, avoirdupois and muscle! He
is as full Of language as a female de-
batting society, with great deal more
of interest attached to his words. II
isas easy for Sanford to talk as it is
for some men to avoid getting en-
ployment. In his lecture entitled
"Old Times and New" he surrounds
his word pictures with SO much wit
and humor that he keeps his audi
ence' dealing i'm smiles about oil the
time. AT the closing part of his lee
ture, his tribute to- America and her
steam cars, Telegraph, electric light,
telephone, photograph, and her in
ventive genius, was well deserved,
and was received with loud applause
We never heard the proud bird Of
freedom paid such deserved com.
pliment as was bestowed upon it by
Col. Sanford Last evening.-Al bany

stands. He called attention 20 the
duty on silYered glass, which caused
every bureau manufactured to cost
from twoto three dollars more than
it otherwise would. 1t is not made
in the United States, and Mr.. Plumb
thinks it shonld go on the free list.
He also spoke Of the steel -trusta and
mentioned the fact that large sums
of money had been saved in the con-
structiOn Of the State House of Texas
and a public building at Wichita,
Kansas, by the purchase of steel joists
beams, etc., abroad, If Senator
Plumb is mot more careful in his
speeches, he will rise up some morn
ing, and find himself read out of ihe
Republican party.

The Wea Their.

Rev. Ira r. Hicks, of st. Louis
who has achieved considerable fame
as a weather prophet, predicts that
there will be severe storms and the
coolest weather Of the season within
forty-eight hours and that the period
of the regular annual winter solst'cc
storms between the 10Th and 25th in
stants will extend the time of the
disturbance. He also looks for q
storm of exceptional intensity-a
blizzard, perhaps-on the End and
Ord of January.
