The first of these came from the reorzanization committee of the Union Pacific, and was to the effect (hat the committee had disdanded, and that all seca deposited with it would be returned to their owners. This action is taken in accordance withi the agreement entered into for the deposit of securities, which proviged that in casea permanent plan of reorganization had not been agreed upon by the committee by March 4 the committee should date was fixed as that for the adjournment of Congress, for the reason that the failure of that body 10 aCt OB the matter of the COMPAnNy’s debt (o the Government would be a positive bar to the for- mation of an organization plan.

Wheat Weak—Corn Strong and Higher. Provisions Active. CmicaGo, March 8.—The Liverpool market was 34 higher at the opening, and that, along with a threatened cold wave, following upon the heels of the present springlike mildness, gave the wheat market a firm siart. The opening transactions in May were at 5435@5414¢, compared with 575ac at yesterday’s closing. During the remainder of the forenoon the price had a struggle to maintain it- self against the eftect of selling out by speculators who had bought vesterday at 633zc. A reported slightly weaker tone to the Paris market had more infinence during the forenoon than some other cablegrams, which were of & decidedly bull- ish character. A report of some wholesale trade in wheat for shipment at Toledo was iu a similar manner min- imized by the statemen; that it was.worked be- cause of a heavy cut in railroad rates. Closing ca- bles confirmed the advance at Liverpool of from 14 to 34d per bushel. Antwerp was quoted 34 higher, Paris a shade easier for flour, unchanged for wheat, and Berlin repeated yesicrday’s quotations. May rallied on fair buying and closed a: 5aljc. Corn was strong and higher, opening at 14c over yesterday’s close, advancing Yac more in the course of the orenoon. ' The strength came from the im. at in the demand for cash corn. Liverpool cablés came strang at an advance of rom 14 to 34d The opening for May was 45c. It rose forenoon 16 45%4c, reacted Yge and sed at 4514c sellers. The same dull and uninteresting state of affairs continued to existin the oats market. Fluctua- tions were narrow and followed corn almost en- tirely. May sold from :26c to 2914c and closed at 2934 bid. Provisions were buoyant and active during the greater part of the session, the ouly weak Spots Deing the result of sales by scalpers who had profits in previous purchases. The talk of a scar- city of caitle, which has been current for some time, was given as one of the reasons for the ad- vance.

G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: Congressional | adjournment and proof that, though the rate of ex- change rises to and even above the shipping point gold does not go out, has produced a much better feeling. Prices do not improve and there is on the whole no gain but some loss in wages. While strikes of 15,000 coal-miners near Pittsburg and several thousand building workers, besides strikes in ten or twelve textile and lron trades, have further lessened the purchasing power for the time, is anticipation of improved demand for goods in general and many are manufacturing and buying beyond present nieeds on the strength of it. Cotton has risen 4 from the lowest point on record, though receipts have been 101,629 bales aguinst 53,452 last year for the week. The rise is due t0 the bellef that the acreage will be reduced this year, but stocks in sight are so large as to make a sustained advance difiicult. Wiheat has risen 3 of a cent, because of rumored injury to grain in some States. Stocks in sight are enormous, and Western accountants make the stock of Wheat In farmers’ hands very large. Corn has declined 34c, though Teceipts are not half last year's, with exporis insignificant. Pork, Lard and Hogs are a shade higher, and beef has advanced to the highest point,since July. Threc causes Lelp the iron ihdustry for the time: expectation of another great strike at the coke works, TEpOrts that Besseiner ore will advance and a moderate increase in demand for products. The increase in demand is, on the whole, smaller. Much of it is due to new buildings throughont the country and some io better orders for sheets and wire nails, while wire rods aud plates are in fair demend, but prices have not advanced. Common bar is & shade stronger at Pittsburg and finished products arc less shaded at Philadelphia, while at Chicago a better demand is seen in most branches. Copper hus been depressed by competition (0 9%c for lake and Lead is offered more freely at 3.1c, while American makers of Tin plates are pulling prices sometimes lower than those of a similar imported plate. kces t0 resist the reduction of wages in several textile works and reduction effected in someothers by no means contradict the acconunts the mills are Teceiving somewhat better orders. Prices of dry goods are very low and print cloths have fallen to 2.d4c, below any former record. Exchanges through clearing-houses are 7.9 per cent larger than last vear, but 22.6 per cent smailer than in 1808, which for ihe first week of a month shows little gain.

It is & comfort, after making the rounds of the markets nowadays , to reflect that there are still as good fish in the sea as ever were caught, because it would seem from the quantities offered for sale that our portion of the sea had yielded up its bur- den forever. Sturgeon is always conspicuous. Great gory headless bodles line even the sidewalks near the wholesale markets and cumber the markets themselves. Salmon is less pientiful, bu sells for 8or10cents a pound. Shad brings from 4 to 8 cents, according as it is purchased in a fashionable or an unfashionable locality. Halibut is 8 cents also, end smelts are the same price, but those offered now are of a surprising size, one being really quite large enough to bake and serve for a family “of three or four. Shrimps, crabs and the small fresh water lobsters crawl or snap about as if conscious of their impending fate and resolved to make one last dash for liberty. Queer large- headed, stippery, undeveloped-looking fish palpi- tate feenly in pails of shallow water. They are small cod from the Sacramento River, and their cousins, larger-grown and brighter in color are plentifully represented on the counters. Carp sell from 2to 8 cents a pound. They are not unlike shad in shape and in general appear- ance, though they differ in color, being a beautifal shaded golden brown. One dealer will ask 4 cents per pound for this fish and his neighbor but 2, and the next dealer will ofter three pounds for 10 cents. If you ask the cause of this discrepancy the 4-cent man will tell you that his fish came from Sacra- mento River and are quite a different thing from the 2-cent variety which was canght in Oakland waters: the third man’s fish then, presumably, come from some intermediate point between thé two. Carp are very much liked in Germany, where they are caught and fattened for table use, being kept in ponds during the ordeal. Those which live in tresh-water streams are the only ones fit to eat, those caught in muddy stagnant pools taking flavor from their environment. 4 A fish weighing from four to six poundsis the most desirable to purchase, and then arises the question of how to cook it. There are some who will tell you to cook it any way you like but it won't be fit to eat; turn a deaf ear to them aud make your preparations to bake vour carp with a nice dry crumoly stuffing, highly seasoned and flavored with some acld pickles. You must bave some slices of salt pork aiso, and should allow from thirty to forty minutes cooking in a moderate Have the dealer take off the scales and clean the fish, then when it comes home take it at once from the paper wrappings, lay it upon & board or pan kept for fish and with a knife make sure that every scale bas been taken off: begin at the tail and work toward the head, working carefully around the fin: ‘The scaleof the carp is large and easily removed, but if there should be any diffi- culty dip the fish for a moment into some warm water, but do not leave a scale on,as there is nothing much more disagreeable than io get one of those external decorations in one's mouth. The next thing atter scaling the fish is to wipe it carefully with a soft cloth and plenty of warm ‘water inside and ou hen rub salt into it and set it away until it is needed. The dressing is made from elther bread or cracker crumbs—about a cup- ful for the sized fish bonght, and moisten these with two tablespoonfuls of butter, add & teaspoon- ful of finely chopped onion, and an_equal quantity of parsley, salt, pepper and chopped pickles of any kind, to taste. ey may be the small cucumbers, olives, or anything that will give scidity to the stuffing. Sew the slit on the fish together and fill the crea- ture throngh his mouth, then make incisions two inches apart in each side and have ready some lar- doons of fat salt pork and lay one in each incision, pressing it well in place. These lardoons are sim- ply strips of pork about three inches long, and as large as the little finger. Line the pan in which the fish is to be baked with a few slices of pork, to | prevent the skin from adhering, and set the fish upon this with its back up, that the heat may affect it evenly ; the thinnest part being down every por- tion of the fish will be done at the same time. Where the fish is laid upon iis side half s gen- erally better cooked than the other, and it is more difficult to serve. The fish can easlly be kept in place in the pan by putting potatoes around it or by twisting it into a semicircular sbape. Just be- fore putting the fish into the oven dredge it well with flour, and while it is cooking baste well with the liquor in the pan, elght or ten times at least. When the carp is done serve it in the same po- sition in which it was baked, upon a het plutter, and send it to the table with either a Hollandaise or a Tartare sauce. The latter is a cold sauce, really a form of mayonnaise, which is in fact nsed as a foundation. To the mavonbaise, which is rather more acid than that used for salads, are added equal guantities of chopped green onions, parsiey and pickled eucumbers or capers. ‘The easiest way of chopping these has already been told, but may bear repeating: Instead of a bowl and chopping-knife a hardwood board and heavy-bladed carver are used. The articles to be chopped are placed on the board and the point of the knife is held down with the left hand while the right works the handle up and down upen the little mound, which is s0on ground exceeding small, and with less waste of materiajand of favor than would resuit from using the bowl: A drawn butter sauce may be served with the fish—but that seems much more suitable for a boiled carp—or & brown sauce may be made by turning nearly all the fat from the pan after baking the fish and thickening what remains with browned flower. Add hot water to make the proper con- sistency and flavor with lemon juice and some of the grated rind, spice well and serve hot. FAMILY RETAIL MARKET.

Made by Packing Fresh Flowers in Lard. Most of the perfumes are made by en- fleurage, i. e., laying freshly szathered flowers in a glass case, the lid of which is read with a coating of lard half an inch hick. This in the course of twelve or twenty-four hours absorbs all the essential oil. The flowers are not spread thickly in the case; the glass is evenly covered with them and little more, but the coating of lard requires many relays of flowers before it is impregnated with suflicient perfume. The number of layers, of course, depends on the kind of flowers used. Some are changed thirty times, some even as many as eighty, others only five or six. The lard is afterward melted and mixed with spirit, which, combining with the volatile oil, rises to the top and is captured and fil- tered. Itgis sad to see the flowers which have been used in making pomade, when, all the virtue having gone out of them, they are carted away to be used to promote the growth of other roses, which in turn will die the same death. They are a mere mass of something that looks like dirty aper badly reduced to pulp.—Longman'’s Magazine. ——————— THE CALL CALENDAR. Maxcw, 1895.
