"SALT-RISING BREAD"
Defense OF an Article of Food Con-
demned by Mrs. Ewing.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
In the report of Mrs. Ewng's lecture on
bread was disappointed that no reason was
given for designating salt Rising Bread
as rotten abomination.' that nothing was
said about the relative food values Of the
different cereals. My grandmother came to
Michigan when that State was a vast forest
and raised as strong a family of seven chill
dren on salt rising bread, varied with
corn and rye. as any Of more modern years
who may perhaps enjoy more dainty fare.
Now bread is leavened simply that it may
be more digestible. Unleavened bread-used
by sailors, etc.-conts ms more nutriment

does not undergo Preventative changes by
long keeping, as is apt to occur in under
baked yeast bread. Aerated bread, by some
found most acceptable, is made by forcing
mixing the flour with water saturated with
carbonic acid gas. The gas can be made
by pouring dilute sulphuric acid upon car.
Donate Of lime, but since this gas must
be washed and requires special apparatus
for making II. we would hardly relegate this
process to the average cook The nearest
bread-with it's misleading name, as the
salt should be omitted until the sponge Is
kneaded into loaves else you will evolve.
by chemical change, the odor which makes
it an abomination l do not think any one
who finds this bread more digestible than
Yeast bread-as is often the case in some
forms of stomach troubie-need feel any fear
in using it, even If Mrs. Ewing has con-
demned 1t.
If sweet corn meal is used for the yeast
which stands only from night until morning
(tnis can always be ascertained by an edu-
Gated smell, one not ruined by strong per-
fumes or by mixing some OF the meal with
water and testing the water with Htmus
paper or pinch of soda, and always re-
iecting meal which gives acid reaction,
as 1t shows that the oil contained in the
meal has undergone putrefactive change)
bread can be made in The same time as that
allowed by Mrs. Ewing-five hours. And 1t
has one advantage over yeast bread. Often
the yeast put into yeast bread is stale:
Indeed sometimes the best compressed

STRENGTH IN WHEAT
BEARS. SCARED by THE COLD-wAvE
PREDICTION, BECAME TIMID.
Leading Cereal Opened Higher at
Corn, Oats and Provisions Lower.

CHICAGO. Feb 27.-Wheat to-day opened
from sac to nc higher than it closed yes
terday and retained the advance to the end.
There was considerable bearish news, but
apprehension of damage from the predicted
cold wave kept the market fairly firm.
Corn and oats both displayed some weak
ness and closed fractionally lower. Provi-
sions suffered considerable losses
Wheat ruled higher to-day and at one
time showed sc advance. Trade. however.
was moderate and mostly professional. but
sentiment was bullsh. The basis of the
strength was the Cincinnati Price Currents
statement that wheat in farmers hands
was probably 100000 bushels less than
year ago and also a deficiency of 20,000,000
bushels in stocks outside of farmers hands.
making a total shrinkage of 100000 900 BUSH
els from last year. In addition to this the
bulls found some grounds for encourage
ment in the prediction by the signal service
of colder weather. The advance was
stayed, however. by the easy tone of cables,
Liverpool coming in l4q1ac lower and then
Northwestern receipts, which amounted to
40 cars, were considerably larger than last
week and a year ago. May opened at go
67lsc, slid off to 66a4c, rallied steadily to
67Ac and reacted to 67c. During the latter
half of the session business became very
light, but a firm feeling prevailed which
held the price close around &c during the
greater part of the time. there being gen.
eral indsposition to be short until Ii should
be seen what views might be expressed
regarding the predictea drop in the tempera-
ture. 1t was evident, however, that the
market was extremely sensitive for a drop
to 66ikc, quickly followed an attempt to
market some lines which had been bought
early At this point scalpers were again
manifest and under good buying the price
soon rallied to 671sc, closing steady at that
figure.
Corn was heavy and dull. May opened
&c higher at 3034 4305sc, but soon lost the
advance, the heavy local receipts proving
too much for the influence of wheat and
closed rather weak at 30ssc.
Oats were decidedly dull, what little trad
ing there was being in small lots and prices
being Influenced almost entirely by corn.
May opened unchanged at 21l4c and kept
within narrow range all day, closing easy
at H1s@21Ac bid.
Provisions were dull until the last hour,
when trade became fairly heavy. Prices
were higher at the opening on the firmer
live stock market, but later a pronounced
bear raid worked havoc and at the close
pork showed a loss of 15c and lard and ribs
Csc each.
Estimates for Friday-Wheat, 60 cars;
corn, $40 cars; oats, $50 cars; hogs, 10000

Wheat-The market Thursday exhibited
the strength that is its own by virtue of
natural conditions. Notwithstanding a
weak stock market ard a break in provis-
ions, the wheat market showed rising
tendency This condition would have pre-
vailed yesterday if there had been any eff
fort to sustain prices, for everything is in
favor of holders. The opening to-day was
higher on Price-Current figures, which es-
Inmates the reserves at 10000 600 bushels less

cold wave. This had a special influence be-
cause temperatures this week have been
very high through Kansas and Nebraska.

crease of 100000 bushels. A special from

Out of sixteen German and seventeen for

to be the purest. 1t is significant fact
that the bears acknowledge the strong posi-

occasional trades. but all keep a good sup
ply Of long wheat on hand. They make no
effort to boom the market on the excellent
news which turns up every day and which
is continually strengthening prices. They
simply make assertion that conditions JUS
