G. Dun & Co.'s | week! review of trade, which is published Satur- day, will say: Indications of improvement in busi- ness grow more distinct. The most obtrusive of them, the speculative advance in cotton and in stocks, is the least reliable, nor can either of these be said to reflect actual improvement in business | conditions. Railroad earnings are scarcely better and the speculation is larze based on expectation of more effective monopoly in coal and some other | producis. London was buying largely, but likely ! to sell on any rise. Cotton does not rise because thers s more de- mand for goods but because cotton is dearer.

American st Friday 1,545,028 bales, against ar, with the general expectation that something over 700,000 bales will yet come forward, while foreign stocks of American are 600,000 bales greater than at date after the great | crop of 1861. Receipts continue large and the movement has Teally no other basis thatt belief that the next crop will be smazil. The rise in wheat, which started with the Teport of wheat in farmers' hands, has been foliowed the reaction, so that prices are lower than the were prior to that report, having 21/sc for the week, Western receipts 1,988, against 1,633,331 Iast year, and for were practically equal to last year's, while Atlantic exports are small. Corn has not followed, but after a rise to 5154c holds the price of a week &go, receipts being abont a third of last vear's and exports insignificant. Pork has declined 25 per barrel, and lard 10c per 100 pounds. The advance in wagesof cokeworkers raises the cost of fuel for a large proportion of the iron manu- facturers, but as yet does not. affect prices of fron or its products, as there is no increase in demand. It is hoped that larger buying will soon be prompted by the idea that pig and all products will be ren- dered more costly, though the large excess of pro- duction and producing capacity stands in the way. One sale of 10.000 tons of steel rails, one cast-pipe contract for 000 tons, a bridge and five building contracts aggregating nearly 5000 tons are re- ported this week, but pig-iron is weak without change both at the East and at_Pittsburg. and no change of consequence is noted in the demand for finished products.

NEW YORK, March 22.—Leading Wall-street banks report that the amount of business in cur- rency being done with their country correspond- ents is small, that little or nothing has come in from the West this week,and that the Chicago Dbanks are anxious to borrow rather than lend to accommodate their own customers. The banks will gain about $1,250,000 for the week. The sub-treasury daily reports show the follow- ing results for the week: Total receipts, $29,500,- 000; total payments, $29.750,000. This promises, allowing for the $1,400,000 gold received by the Lucania, a gain for the sub-treasury of uearly 2,000,000. BANK CLEARINGS.

FOR THE TABLE. ‘While the influenza is still epidemic there is in invalid’s diet, in the early stages, perhaps, some kind of gruel, and later the cereals in a more solid form, or a dainty lamb chop, broiled squab or breast of chicken. The appetite of an invalid is a very capricious thing as every one knows, and it is therefore wise to prepare just enough of each article to serve once. 1f more is called for cook it as it is needed, but try to avoid sending to the sickroom a half-eaten cus- tard or dainty of any sort, and prevent the possi- bility of having to listen to any remarks of the “That old custard again!” order. It is hard to give directions for quantities small enough for one poor Invalid, but in the matter of gruels enough can_be Prepared to lust for several meals, and & small quantity can be reheated with milk when it is wished. Cornmeal, oatmeal or Taham gruel are made by adding to three pints of iling water an ounce, which is about a Leaping tablespoontul, of the meal from which the gruel takes its name, and cooking uncovered for an hour or an hour and a half, then straining carefully, adding a little salt and setting away to get cool. The cornmeal and Graham must be added to the bolling water very carefully that they may not form lumps, and where it is allowabie a few raising may be cooked with them. Barley gruel needs longer cooking, so that it is wise to make quite & quantity at atime, for it keeps perfectly well in a €00l place for two or three days. The pearl barley, one cup to & quart of cold iwater, is washed care- fully and put on to cook in a double boiler, and it must simmer for five or six hours: it is then to be strained and treated like the other gruels, which are generally thinned out with warm milk before serving, though they are sometimes taken with & little sugar and a few drops of lemon juice. Brolling is & thing which should be most skill- fully done when preparing articles for an invalid’s tray. Tenderloin of beefsteak is one of the most approved dishes, but that cut while delicate and tender is not supposed to contain either the flavor or nutriment which o to make up the attractions of the tougher bitsof heef, 50 cooks who have given thought to sick _people have recommended a combination of the two, which Is made by remov- ing the tenderloin carefully from the steak, and broiling with it a piece of the rump or round, and when ‘they are done, but never overdone for ‘an invaid, and’ the tenderloin has been laid upon lits little warm plate, squeeze over it all the juice from the tougher cut, salt slightly and serve at once. Where it can be taken a plain lettuce salad with French dressing is laid beneath the bit of steak. Chops can be cooked in the same way, the delicate lamb chop anointed with the juice of a more mutton-like piece of meat. A squab or the breast of a chicken can be broiled best in paper, and that is a feat the result of which will surprise any one who has never seen it done. To prepare the squab, open it up the back and re- move the neck and any bits of rough bone with a legs up 3o the bird will be a good shape and he is ready for the sacrifice, alwa sSupposing that he ‘was carefully plucked and wiped before cutting open. The breast of chicken can be broiled in four ieces if need be, as there are four natural fillets sides the uny ones under the wing. Afier the skin has been removed the breast shonld be taken from the bone, when the membrane or cartilage which divides the pieces can easily be found. One fillet will be enough for the average invalid, unless the chicken be one of the tiny broflers which are in the market now, which look as if they had ETOWD to tempt a sick person’s appetite. ‘When the bird is ready to_broil butter a sheet of notepaper on the inside with cold butter, lay the squab or breast of chicken in this, fold the paper and turn both sides and the end over three times; put the paper parcel on & wire gridiron over a fire | which has passed the blazing point and is reduced | first, but turn irequently, that the paper may not | take fire, though if that does happen the bird is not | spotled; put the flame out atonce and finish broil- |1 In rather less thanten minutes the bird will when it must be removed from the paper, holding it over the hot plate on which it is to be | served, that the juice and butter may be saved. 1f the broiling has been successfully done the bird will be a most beautiful pale golden brown af per- fectly uniform shade. Quail can be treated in the same way as squabs, but of course are not season- able now. A dish 0f cold cracked wheat is a thing which de- serves to be known more widely than it is, as it is not only an_excellent dish for a_convaleséent but makes a delightful dessert for warm-weather din- ners* The cracked wheat left from breakfastcan he molded and cut in slices, but it is far better cooked in milk, allowing a tablespoonsul of cracked wheat tofive of milk and fi f water. First cook the wheat inthe water slightly salted till that is nearly all evap- orated, Stirring two or three times to keep the grains from settling to the bottom. The wheat is better cooked over a slow fire and in an ordinary sauce- pan than ina double boiler. When the water has’ been pretty well absorbed add the milk and sim- mer for an iiour, then turn the cracked wheat into molds, stirring it a little before pouring that the grains may be rightly proportioned. Then set the molds away to get very cold, and when ready to serve turn them out upon saucers and serve with sugar and good rich cream. In this dish every grain of wheat is swollen to its utmost and is very tender and lies in a bed of creamy jell The only seasonable fruit for invalids now is the orange, unless a baked apple can be given, in which case the apple must be peeled and cored before it is put into the oven, and it must be basted with su- gar and water and baked until it is ready to fall to ieces. PI¥ the rectpes given are strictly followed there is achance that the days of convalescence may be long—from choice. FAMILY RFTAIL MARKET. Butter is rather cheaper again, but Eggs show signs of a small advance, not being as plentiful as they have been. 1t reports from Vacayjile and Winters be correct the supply of early Tomatoes and String Beans will be short this year, as the recent frost played havoc with them in those districts.

When Dr. Johnson had defined oats as ‘“a grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people,” Lord Ellibank triumphantly retort “But where will you find suc! horses and such men?” We may admire the patriotism, but we must regret the loyal mendacity of his lordship, for he must have known how dirty, slow and slovenly his rural countrymen are. The food of the people was poor,for they had nothing to cook except oat and barley meal and lentil-greens from their yard, for no other vegetaile was known; and beef or mutton thef’ seldom saw, and pigs’ | flesh they would not eat if they had it. Their drink was fermented whey, kept for ayear in barrels, or ale made from oats and heather, Milk they rarely had, for the meager cows provided only two or three pints a day, and that was kept sour from being in foul dishes. So averse were the people to cleanliness that the butter owed its consistency to the number of cows’ hair in it, and was churned _in kirns which were kept filthy | because it was “uncanny” to wash them. The men clad in their ragged, home-woven plaided coats, with shirts changed twice a year—at Martinmas and Whit Sunday— and feet without shoes, save on Sabbath and in winter snow, were miserably dirty, and their skin hard and withered from exposure outside and the peat reek indoors and subject to obnoxious diseases that dirt alone engenders.—The Scottish Review. ————— The Essence of Fish. Fish are reduced to small pieces, mixed with a_suitable quantity of water and cooked in a close vessel by means of steam, the temperature being raised to 160 de- grees—170 degrees C. When all the sol- uble parts have been extracted by the water the liquid is first passed through a sieve, and after skimming off the fatty matter it constitutes the fish essence, which may be used as food, either alone or in conjunction with other nutritious sub- stances. The waste narts of the fish, to- gether with what remains on the sieve, are used for manure, after beim§ first mixed with a suitable amount of lime, clay or simular diluent.—Scientific American. —————— Life without industry is guilt, and in- dustry without art is brutalitv.—Ruskin.
