New York, April 15.-Professional traders
bought stocks this morning, causing an adj
vance in prices of point or over in the
speculative favorites but most of these
takings were sold again before the expira-
ton of the days session, carrying prices
back over their own course and leaving
net changes in almost cases insignificant.
but with small gains predominating. The
party in the exchange which espoused the
bulls side yesterday, found cause for en-
enlargement in the advance in the price of
Americans on the London exchange this
morning. Other European bourses also
shown a firm tendency for American and
Spanish As rallied from an early depres-
sion before the opning of trading here.
The cause of this strength was rumor
that the powers had interviewed between
the United States and that the Cuban in
surgents had agreed to an armistice. This
rumor seemed to have great force in for
eign circles and effected a sympathetic rise
here at the opening which was assistd by
the professional manipulation.
The definite information from London
that Great Britain would refuse to join in
a naval demonstration in behalf of Spain
and the Austrian ambassadors open avow
al that he had goven up hope of Europe
preventing war, was not received until after
the close. Neither was the news that the
regular army had been ordered to move.
Dealings were on small scale and the
wide movement of prices indicated small
flowing supply of stocks.
A feature of the day was the reaction of
AS points ex-dividend in Tobacco, the cor
ner against the bears having been closed
out. The money market continued firm.
The supply of currency has become so
scarce that some of the city banks are
shipping gold in response to the interior de-
mand. Further engagements of nearly ST.
100000 in gold for import were made today

Why the Hoecake is Going.

Most middle-aged persons
remember we'll when cornbread
was served upon nearly all tables
in the South and West at least
twice day. Somentimes it ap-
peared in the form of "hoecake," !"
or "butter Bread" and again in
"pones." 1t was par excellence
the bread of the negro, and every
man who served in the Confederate
army was also full graduate in the
use of it. Now the darkies eschew
it where wheat bread is to be
obtained, and upon the tablss of
thousands of Southern and Western
whites it never appears at all,
while others continue to use it only
for dinner.
Now why is this? Surely corn
meal is as it ever was. Those
who sincerely, but probably
mistakenly, believe that "water-
ground" meal is better than the
product of mills turned by steam,
caa always find supply of that
in most cities, and it is CT mmon
enough iu the country. Tnere is
no trouble about the meal; but we
doubt whether the art of cooking
it has been preserved. The high
toned colored damsels who turned
out by the public schools are not
the adopts that our old Aunt
Dinahs and Aunt Peggys were. No
self-respecting pan of dough would
be conjured into shape by such
unskilled hands. And then we
may seriously doubt whether
cornbread can be cooked in stove
as well as an open fireplace.
The Indians laid their dough
cakes between layers of forest
leaves or upon the hard ground,
and cooked them in the hot ashes.
Hence "ashcake," II very luscious
product, indeed, when one has
whetted his appetite for it by a
long days hunting.
The hoecake was so called
because it was originally baked
upon a hoe-that ever-readY useful
instrument of agriculture which is
to be found upon every plantation.
But later on cooking utensils were
manufactured which took the
place of the humble hoe. So, too,
shingles were used whereupon to
place the dough while it went
through the process of becoming a
well-done ashcake.-Richmond
Dispatch.

Military men in Washington OF
the best judgment are of the opin-
ion that tie war with SPAR. will
last at least three years, even
though we win every battle on the
sea and drive the Spaniards out OF
Cuba and Porto Rico, and army
men say Spain should be invaded
with a force of 100000 men. On
the other hand naval authorities
hold that six weeks will end the
whole business, that with the fall
of Cuba and Porto Rico Spain will
have no base for operating on this
side of the big Lranch, and will
give up the unequal contest. The
truth, as in almost all matters,
probably lies between these two
extremes.
