The buying to-day, and in fact fer several days past, gives evidence that the specu- lative furore is spreading rapidly. Commission houses report the receipt of further large orders to buy from outsiders and many of them gay thsy have received orders from customers who have not been heard from for months. At the highest point to-day which was touched shortly before o'clock, the general list showed rise of < to K per cent. from opening figures. The greatest rise was in Central Pacific, Denver, Burlington and ehio, Canada South Michigan Central, Coal shares, St. Paul and Union Pacihc.

Ronts- Bicycles and Hay Fever

Nature has resolved that all the people shall not enjoy themselves at once. With comes the time of trouble for the poor vic-
 tims of hay fever. For them flowers have no odor. and the summer little or no beauty. To snuff, sneeze and wipe their weeping eyes for three or four successive moaths :-this is their pitiabIe portion. Whether this form of catarrh is called hay fever, hay cold, rose cold or rose fever, makes no difference they suffer iust the same. There is no help in sea voyages, there is no help in high noun tain air. These only tighten the pocket and leave the disease unabated- But there is positive cure in Ely's Cream Balm. We could cram these columns with grateful let ters of the rescued. Try 1t and join them
 If vo u continue to suffer it is because you neglect remedy as sure as it is cheap and pleasant. Je15 eoo&WzW.
