A plain cake, made with Cleveland's
Baking Powder, is superior to a pound
cake costing twice as much made with
an alum powder.
Cleveland's Baking Powder is pure,
clean and wholesome, and with less
trouble and concern makes the cake
lighter, sweeter, purer, more appetizing
and beautiful.

IN THE MATTER OF CREDIT SHE
RANKS HIGH.
Bids for Bond Issue of $285,000 Re
ceived Yesterday Were Highest in
History of the City Successful
Bidders Offer a Premium of $7,069
on the $285,000 Worth of 3 1-2
Per Cent. Bonds and Agree to Pay
the State Tax, Amounting- to
Over 819,000.
People who have been inclined to the
belief that ever since the "ripper" bill
wont into effect this city has gone to
the "demnltion bow-wows" will bo now
forced to admit that in one most, im
portant particular she ho!rt3 her own
with the larges-t municipalities of the
country she has an unimpaired credit
that commands the rnsoect of the big
gest financial houses lit the land.
This was demonstrated yesterday af
ternoon, when the second batch of bids
for the bond issue of $285,000 was opened
by Recorder W. Jj. Connell. These bids
were not only higher than those opened
and rejected a week before, but they
w ere double those received last year for
the sewer bond issue, and it it! believed
that the, successful bid is the highest
ever received in the history of the city.
The hueuessful bidders were W. J.
Hayes & Son, who offered a premium of
$7,069 for the $2S5,000 issue of 3' per
cent, bonds, agreeing also to pay the
state tux. which will amount to over
$19,000. There were several other bid
ders who were close to this bid, as will
bo seen by the following list of premi
ums offered:
Itudnlpli. Klc.vbolte 00111113117 f(!,3T" B0

Mason, Lewis & Company fi.SS!) CO
W. Harris & Company 3,7ro 50
Hitlo Guaranty and Trut company 2,701 50
A number of representatives from
several of the houses bidding: were pres
ent In the recorder's office when the
bids were .opened, but the successful
bidders had no agent present. The
bondsmen who were on hand, however,
made the emphatic statement that the
successful bid wus one of the highest
they had ever seen, and congratulated
the recorder on his being able to dis
pose of the bonds at such a great ad
vantage to the city.
It seemed to be the unanimous senti
ment that the almost absurdly small
not Indebtedness of $322,039,90, as com
pared with the assessed property valu
ation of $65,680,703, was what led the
bidders to deem Scranton's credit to be
Al. The bondmen were a unit in say
ing that no city of any size in this
country litis such a small Indebtedness
Jn proportion to its population and as
sessed valuation.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, April 2i. Speculative Interest in
ttocks showed a considerable falling off todvy,
and the full day's transactions scarcely reached
a million harcs fur the first time in two weeks.
Tho (cvcrih Jctlsity v. huh has characterized the
recent leadership of the market was decidedly
lacking, if the rather large dealings in Heading
c.-iu be expected. The tone of the market was
halting und uncntain and the mosement of
prices was not uniform. The predomln-int tnnso
input, while it failed to embrace! the whole list,
1 1 self changed ;i number of times during the
day. 'Ihe failme of tho confeivm.p omimittecs
of the anthracite miners and operators to agree
upon terms on Saturday was a disippointment,
and the tone of the comment of the parties to
the conference created n disagreeable impression,
Tho result was free felling of Heading in the
opening dealings, which alfected IIir whole mar
let. This weakness was ocrc(nio by ttiong ad
vances in some of the high priced coders. The
part played in the market by the high priced
fctock of which tho floating iupply is very small
wa notable and their wide movements lesultcd
from a light volume of transactions. As the up
ward flight of Delaware and Hudson and of New
Jersey Central l.illled the Headings, so did the
spurt in the Chicago and Northwestern blocks
give some strength to the Crnngers and Pacifies-.
fct. Paul was lilted 2 points over last night and
there were gaim of 1 to 2 points amongst 'ho
h'outhwesteriis. 'Ihe gains were not well held,
however, and there were i,ont.int relapses when
the market was allow oil to heroine (juiet. New
Yoik, New Haven and Haitforil was another of
the high grade Mock' t' move, but saved only
a point of its 7 point advance. The market
closed dull and easy. Total Kites, ,02I,.'j00.
The bend market was moderately aitlve and
strong. Totl file', pir value, $41,015,000. Uni
ted States bonds vvcie all unchanged on the last
call.
