CHICAGO MARKETS, CHICAGO. IrL., April 5.—A renewal of the de- . mand for cash grain gave Wheat an upturn to-day and May Wheat closed 3c higher. May Corn closed Ve higher and May Oats unchanged, while | Provisions finished at declines. The first transactions in the Wheat pit wére at an advance of 14c over vesterday’s closing and an- oiher Y4c was quickly added. There was a great stroggle to buy May ut 5514 up to 55%4¢, and then a further and somewhat excited endeavor to get rid of as much of it as cost over bblic, after which the market became quiet and dull aud the dullness | lasted throughout the remainder of the forenooun. | The effects of yesterday’s great cash trade was still working upon the mind of the traders at the start, | and that was the cause of the opening scramble for | Wheat by the shorts. The seaboard ciearances were light.WThe total exports from the principal seaboard points, in- clusive of New Orleans, amounted in wheat and | fiour to only 144,000. The receipts at primary markets were heavier than on the day before, and the Weather Bureau predicted quite good rains for | the winter wheat crop. Total amounts received at | the primary market were 208,000 bushels against 158,000 bushels yesterday. The price was siontly maintained after 12 o'clock at about 5514c on the | renewal of the demand for cash wheat. A sale was | effected of 100.000 bushels about an hour from the | close, with several parce under negotiation and expected work Lefore the close. A miller in South- | ern Ohio bid 55%4c on board for 50 carloads of No, | 2 red wheat, which is needed for bis mill. | Those were the influences on the market during | the forenoon, and they imparted & very firm under- | tone to the later trading. A sale of 1,000,000 bushels of cash wheat from terminal elevators at Minneapolis to local millers there at 1Vsc over price was the lust piece of news, under which | May closed at 553c bid. Trading {n corn was iight. The confirmation of yesterday’s estimate of very small receipts siarted ibe price at about 14c over the closing rate of yes- terday. The opening price substantially the | highest paid during the day, although corn had the support of a firm wheat market to help it. Liver. | pool was quoted firm and 14d hizher. May opened | At 4674, s0ld sparingly ot 467s@47c and dropped | 10 465/c. closing at 4634c sellers. The oats marke: was very steady. The range for the dby was from 2954c 10 2974c for May, closing at 29%4c. Steadiness resulted from the similar feeling 1n corn. The provision trade was dull until within the last hour, when the previonsly firm feeling gave place to weakness under free sales. Hog sales were even smalier by 2500 head than had been looked for, and only 8000 are expected to-morrow. That gave the market its early firm- ness, under which ~pork_gained 15¢. It afierward declined 35c to $12 for May, and closed with a net loss of 12% at 812 0735. May lard lost 234c and Tibs Thse of yesterday’s ciosing values.

The greater part of the offerings were, as usual, of light medium weights and there were Dot enough choice Leavy hogs 1Qg0 round. Not more than 5000 sheep arrived to-day, and there was a steady market, buyers taking hold with a fair amount of freedom. City slaughterers did the bulk of the buying, sheep selling at $3@ 4 76, chiefly at $4 25@4 60. Lambs were in fair demand at $450@5 75, with transactions largely at #5 25@5 60. Fancy lambs, therefore, offered might have sold as high as $5 80, and something prime in the sheep line might have brought $5. Receipts: Cattle, 3000; calves, 500; hogs, 13,000: sheep, 7000.

Y., April Post’s London cablegram say: 5.—The Evening Stagnation charac- | terized all the stock markets to-day withia rather sharp relapse in mining shares on the reported | collapseof the Londonderry firm. a big Australian | concern introduced here by Colonel North. Amer- ican securities shared in the dullness. At an im- portant mes ng of influential bankers to-day to consider the bimetaliic agitation a committee was appointed to express in_proper quarters the danger of any interference with standard. This of course does not 1ndicate there is | even a fear of such _a thing, but the bimetallic agi- tation is now strong and a protective opposition is deemed advisable. DU REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say: Returns showing the condition of retail trade in March throughout the country and the distribution of goods of final comparison with the same month in 1894 and 1893 factory evidence that in most trades and districts marked improvement over 1894 is real- ized, though, on the whole, trade is smaller than in 1893. Everywhere, also, the occurrence of Easter in March last year, but in April this to account for much difference in the volume of re- tall trade in quantities of goods sold. It is, never- theless Marger than last year, but, on the whole, smaller than in 1893, the main_difference comparison with 1893 being found in the general | decline of prices, which makes the value smaller, | even where it is c quantity. Accounts from the chief centers of wholesale learly as large or larger in | trade ure aiso encouraging this week. There is not any hopeful spirit but the real gains in business, though not equally distributed geographically or a8 to branches of trade. The best news from the in- dQus'ries 1s that labor troubles have been settled or avoided. Next in importance is the better demand | | for manufactured articles, which gives greater rea- son to hope that rccent advances from the bottom may prove successful. oliowing the rise in coke there have been week finished products are no longer inactive, Bessemer iron risiug to 10.65c, gray forge to 9.25c, com- mon bar to 95c, structural angles to $1 05 and plates $1 per ton. Chicago shares in the rise and the Lliinois Steel Company has achieved a notable suceess in taking the contract for steel plates for such orders at Newport News. Eastern works gain more slowly now and thelow price of anthracite coal. The production week is 168,110 tons, the lurgest on record, but there Is some fear that higher coke and ore must close the works. Copper is firmer, as sales of the stock taken from the French syndicate removed a load off the mar- ket for the lust six years, and tin has been stronger with tin piates, because of purchases for Pacific Coast canners. In cotton better demand appears for many quali- ties, and some slight advance in price is noted. Sales of wool reflect the renewed confidence of manufacturers, as strikers are_out of the way, for 5,100 pounds were sold last week, against 00 pounds last year. No rise in prices is seen or expected, in-view of heavy sales and re- celpts of foreign wool. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. NEW YORK, N.Y., April 5.—Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: The appearance of more settled weather together with the announced increase in prices for Bessemer pigiron and steel billets con- tinued strong, stimulating manufacturers to de- mand higher prices for fall goods. Rains in North- western wheat reglons were greatly needed. in- creases in wages of industrial employes, heavier shipments of wheat abroad and the rise of the week’s pank clearings above the billion mark are evidences of the continuation of a better feeling in trade circles and returning confidence in many lines of business. ‘The list of increases of quotations for staples in- cludes hides and leather, with & prospect for fur- ther advances, one result being extremely firm news of makers of shoes, cut meats at Western points as well for cattie and Bessemer pig and steel billets 50 cenls per ton, which resulted in better demand for car, wagon and implement iron, as well as for pipe and finished material generally. The prices were unchanged for hogs and pork. re- fined sugar, coffee, copper and cotton. Decreases of note are for lard, lead and fractionally for wheat and oats. There are 220 business failures reported to Brad- street’s this week, as compared with 232 last week, 195 in the corresponding week of 1894, and 188 for two years ago and 165 three years ago. Some New England cotton manufacturers have old a year's output for export, and have cheap Sraw material to meet the contracts. Wool and | woolen industries report less activity, but the im- proved prospect in iron and steel and advances in petroleum and for lumber at almost all centers, with activity in the building trades, are baving an influence. Exports of wheat, flour included as wheat, from Dboth coasts of the United States this week amount. 0 2,853,913 bushels, nearly 300,000_bushels more thau in the preceding week: about 75,000 bushels more than in the first week in April, 1894, but 800,000 less than in the like week of 1893; 100,000 bushels less than in the like week of 1892, and 80,- 000 less than in 1891, Domestic avaliable wheat stocks have decreased within three months 25.300.000 bushels, twice the corresponding falling off in 1894 and five times that of 1893. American, Canadian, European and afloat available wheat stocks decreased 22,200.000 bushels during the past quarter more than in any like period for four preceding years. Australian wheat stocks increased 6,800, bush since January 1 last. Ina like space of 1894 the gain was 7,500,000 bushels. General trade at Toronto continues dull, and prices remainjsteady, notwithstanding the unfavor- able weather. BANK CLEARINGS. NEW YORK, N.

Of conrse, much depends upon the berry itself and much upon the roes:ing and grinding, but more than we are apt to take into consideration depends upon the clearness and temperature of the water and the state of both tea~ Kettle and coffee-pot. It is generally conceded that a mixture of Java and Mocha in proportionsto suit the tcs:e is the best all-round coffee in the market, and the price of this has the last week been raised by most of the leading grocers. As one of them naively remarked, 1t was necessary either to lower the grade or raise the price, and he wisely chcs: the latter alterna- tive. Thamixture of one-third Java and two-thirds Mocha, which has been selling for 35¢ and 3715 a und, is now sold for 40c, and_probably not one an, éven at that price, has ever seen the shores of Java or ripened under the tropical sun of Arabia. But there is much In a name, and the graing which we know as Java and Mocha have a distinctive ex- cellence, To have our favorite breakfast beverage in per- fection it should be burnt at home in small quanti- ties, but as that means labor. few of us are willing to attempt it. It mustbe baked in the oven when one hias not the little roaster which comes for the purpose, and stirred carefolly every few moments, turning the pan from time to time that each kernel may be thoronghly roasted, but not one burned. 1f they are underdone the coffee will be tasteless, and the peculiar bitter flavor of burnt coffee i5 in- tensely disagreeable. When the berries are a rich dark brown and crisp all through they are done, and while still hot should be shaken together with the white of a raw egg, slightly beaten till each kernel is coated. This forms & covering which preserves the flavor of the berry and heips n clear- ing the coffee after it is ground, But whether one Toasts her own coffee or buys it already roasted, it is a shame for any one to buy the ground prepara- tion, where there Is 50 much room for adulteration. Chicory hias its advocates, and is at least har less, but it Tuins the beverage for a coftee love yellow ocher is_bought by the barrel for the pur- pose of giving to the adulterated article the right co.0r, and beaus, barley, etc., play & not inconsid- erable part in it. And by the way, few people know how good & substitute for coffee is that strength-giving grain, barley. Farmers' wives burn and grind it and prepare it in the sare way they would coffee, and It is infinitely more pai- atuble than many preparations retailed as the pure article, besides possessing the merit of being what it pretends to be. So, to have really good coffee, if you will not burn it, at least grind it yoursel, and grind only as much as is needed at the time, aliow a tablespoonful of ground coffee for each person, and beat it in an immaculately clean coffee-pot with an egg, or part of an egg and a few drops of cold water, till the whole is & thick paste. 11 1o water is used there is danger of the egg caking the coffee and preventing its giving out the whole 0f its aroma and flavor. The teakettle as well as the coffee-pot. should be very clean inside, and it s well to have a small kettie kept solely for the purpose of making tea and coftee, It should e clear coid water—never ffom the hot water boiler—and when its_contents boil pour the water atonce upon the coffee, allowing & pint to that quantity for the after-dinner coffee. be allowed o come to & boll, closely covered, and should then be stirred down and Kept at the boiling point for ten minutes. The first few spoonfuls of coffee may not be quite clear, and it Is wise to put them back into the coffee-pot and add a_spoonfal of cold water and let itstand undisiurbed fora minute or two. when it will be ready 1o serve. The best coffee would lose in flavor if taken from the huge mountain of crockery which some cups are, so much does the eye affect the sense of taste, 80 serve It in 1oL (00 large a cup, and one of as fine texture as possible, and, if it can be done, always have cream with which'to temper the heat of the coffee Itis quite common to bave hov milk in- stead of cream, but there is a guality about coftee, unlike tea, which s lost If the beverage is taken 100 Bot, though the other extreme is to be avoided as satal. If hot milk is used, it should never be allowed to boil, as that gives it a peculiar flavor, very unpleasant to many people. As the milk be- glns 1o heat, beat it till it is covered with a thick, Iight froth, and use this for the coffee if you wish t0 give the Impression of having used ‘whipped cream. It is really & very good imitation. There are many who stand out boldly as enemies of coffee, particularly as the morning cup. Indeed, the Arabs themselves say that rather than take coffee upon an empty stomach, one should swaliow a button from his coat, but until some one will dis- cover something to take its place, which neither cocon nor tes, nor even the hydropathic dose of hot water will ever do, the majority of us will continue to drink coffee and bear the consequences.
