THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs. &C

The Cincinnati Price Current of March Sth
says
1.-THE past week has been one of mild tenn
perature for the most part, with something of
rainfall. Freezing and thawing has been
more or less experienced in winter wheat re-
glons but the crop as a whole is progressing
seasonably, with little of drawback. There
continues to be reported something of discour
agements from districts west of the Missis-
sippi notably Kansas, but these conditions
are not due to new influences. The crop is
somewhat deficient in condition in special
localities in other States.
Current advices appear to indicatetha farm
ers are more discouraged as to prospective
prices of wheat, especially in view of the
cheerful outlook for the growing crop, and
accordingly many are now letting their hold
ings go who have heretofore been persistent in
a determination to hold until better prices
should be available. 1t is difficult to estimate
the extent to which this may affect the volume
of the movement in the near future, it appear
ing to be doubtful if such influence accom-
plishes more than maintenance of the current
The Price Current has offered considerable
data intended to indicate the position of wheat
supplies but has not heretofore given an opin-
ion as to the quantity in the hands of farmers
only. apart from quantity embracing all the
invisible supplies. but in response to an
evident call for such particulars submits the
following as seemingly consistent compari-
son

The wheat market has been moderately
variable the past week, with an absence of
new influences of particular import. The
average of prices for May at Chicago is about
&c lower than for the preceding week, while
the close is lie higher than week ago.
If nothing more serious occurs to the grow
ing crop than has thus far developed there
will be little on which to build hopes for sub
stantially higher prices for wheat for some
time to come possibly not until new crop.
The liberal supply of corn in commercial
channels has encouraged an easy market, but
this grain has quickly responded to the adj
vance in wheat, and as reduced offerings of
corn may soon be looked for it is not improb-
able an improvement in prices may occur
The sowing of oats has begun in portions of
Southern Kansas, and will soon be quite gen.
eral if the weather favors. There appears to
be an expectation of enlarging the area in
oats and corn this season.
May wheat at Chicago closed &c below
the highest point of the week, Il above the
lowest point, and 1c higher than week ago.

The track was not cleared till late this
afternoon.
ANOTHER FIEND.-Last Friday week
a gentleman living in Orange county
swore out warrant tor the arrest of a
mulato named Boo Ellis, who few
days ago attempted to assault his
daughter in the woods near her home.
Theyoung lady had been to Pine Top,
and was returning home in a jumper
alone, when she was met in the road
by Ellis, who lives a short distance
from her fathers. He seized her horse
and dragged her from the cart, when
she tainted, after uttering one scream,
and regained consciousness as the
rascal was going off. Ellis threatened
to kill her and burn her fathers house.
He is now in Jail at Orange, Judge
Morton having refused bail. There is
talk of lynching, and great Indignation
prevails.-AleG. Gazette.

1t seems that Mrs. R makes most
delicious cream cakes. They are concoct-
ed after an old recipe which has come
down from past generations along with
the family Bible and other relics.
Some time ago her neighbor, Mrs. O..
was to have company in the evening, and
it occurred to her that if she could only
have some cream cakes such as Mrs. R
made the little feast could not help being
a success.
So on the morning of the festal day Mrs.
O. procured the recipe and made the
cakes.
That afternoon Mrs. R sat in her
window chatting with another neighbor
who had run in, when the caller exclaim-
ed:
ooh, seel Here comes Mrs. O. with
some of her lovely cream cakesl Won t
we have nice little spread?"
And Mrs. O. hustled in with pref
ty china dish covered with a napkin.

WHAT IS APPETITE ?
Healthy Appetite Teaches us when
We Ought to Eat.
Without Appetite we would not eat, we
would not live.

Convalescents are always hungry; they are
growing well. Children have great appetites;
they are growing big, Healthy people have good
appettes their stomachs need food to replace
the waste tissue and fat consumed by the body.
nyour appetite is bad you are sick. Your
stomach does not wish 20 work. Your store of
fat will decrease. You will get thinner. You
will sooher or later waste away That is con-
sumption.
If you do not waste away, but remain always
thin, you are still laying yourself open to the at
tacks Of diseases. Fat is nothing but natures
reserve force or fuel. You cannot be absolutely
healthy unless you are normally fat.
What makes Paskola the great appetizer" is
the fact that it aids the stomach to digest all
other food, is itself at once absorbed into the sys
TEN, and thus leaves the stomach perfectly
empty. As soon as this happens hunger occurs
The reason so many dyspeptics have ne appetite
is that their stomachs are constantly full of undi
gested food.
There is only one way to permanently remedy
this and that is by the use of Paskols. Pas
kola being a predigested food is directly alb
sorbed and gives the stomach no work. 1t brings
back healthy appetite and will make even a
consumptive healthy and fat
