HOME SECURITIES.
A SHARP ADVANCE IN SOME OF THE
NATURAL GASSERS.

CHARTERS and Pipeage Take Up More Ele-
vated Positions-The Public Antagoniz-
ing tho Professionals-The fractions
Quiet and Nominally Without Change
Trading was slack yesterday, but there
were a few strong features to make up for
it. Pipeage and CHARTERS Gas advanced
about q point each without bringing out as
much as wanted. In fact there was none OF
the latter on tap at anything like the bid
ding price. Philadelphia finished the day
with a slight loss, but may be quoted as
steady.
In Speaking Of these stocks broker said:
"There IL nothing to show that the supply OF
fuel was less than it was year or two ago.
Indeed, recent Investigation shows IT TO De
greater This has encouraged outsiders TO
come into the market as buyers, and be-
tween them and the professionals there Is
enough competition to advance prices.
CHARTERS, for instance, the par of which is
100, is certainly cheap at l3, and it is this be-
lief that is booming IT."
There was scarcely any change IN the
street railways. Manchester was the strong
est of the group. Luster fell off q little from
the opening price. The rest of the list was
practically unchanged.
Sales at first call were 100 Philadelphia Gas
at ls3<, ls5 Central Traction at %.
Second call, 80 Wheeling Gas at 2l.
Second call, $50 Pipeage at 12M, 25 Luster at
9sS, 100 Birmingham Traction at 26. Bids

RAINS TO THE RESCUE.

Bad Weather in the Northwest Puts Heart
Into the Wheat Bulls-Corn Grading
Not Improved and Prices Advancing
Oats Observation-Disclosures Dull.
CHlCAGO-The elements came to the
rescue to-day. Wheat made a gain OF EXC
and closed within Nc of the top at sac for
May. Corn and provisions participated in
the Improvement 1t was cold in many parts
OF the winter wheat belt, and further rains
were reported in the Northwest, putting
back the seeding still moro. Brddstreers re-
port of the available supply showed
a decrease of 2,320,000 bushels last
week east of the Rockies and
100000 bushels on the p PACIFIC, ad making me net
scalpers seemed to be rather bearish and
fought the advance some, but outside buying
orders were rather generous:
Nav wheat opened at S02sc; fell to S056c;
then became strong and sold to slssc: eased
off to Sic; then up to s1ssc, and at IL O'Clock
was about size. During the last hour the
wheat market continued to develop
strength, and May went up to S21sc with
a good deal of excitement, but eased on
later to size: then reacted to s21Ic and at the
close was steady at S2Hc. The cash wheat
that n $50 600 bushel lot had been worked for
export. This was not confirmed.
The opening of navigation and the close
approach of the middle OF April has brought
no such improvement in the grading of corn
as predicted. 1t is current gossip that If
present conditions continue for few days
longer corn will divide with wheat the gen.
ersiI interest The upward movement of
prices had few setbacks. The market closed
firm at about the best prices with gain of
sc in May and Nc in July from last night.
The oats market was a sympathetic one,
following wheat closely all day. The mar
kes closed &c higher than "a hours previous.
In the provision pit brokers stood idly
about commenting on the great cattle re-
ceipts, the cheapness of beef compared with
pork, ETC. The market had no independent
support. Later, when wheat was up over
&c from the opening anu corn was stronger
and advancing, the provision prices were
bid up on comparatively light business
Compared with last night the closing is up

Mr.. Editor: notice in your Farm and
Farmers column something about the new
forage plant, crimson or scarlet clover.
Scarlet or crimson clover is one and the
same plant (trifolio incarnatum) 1T is an
annual, therefore must be s0wn every year.
Besides being one of the most useful Of our
new hay plants, it is also exceedingly beau
tiful when in bloom. In the southern
states it may be sown any time from Au-
gust to March. Seed sufficient to sow an
acre only costs say $3.50, and will yield
fro1a $40 to $40 worth of hay, besides leav-
