A Trial Remedy for BIIiousness,

Those who suffer from disorder or inactIon of

ALMOST FEATURELEss.
The Stock Market During the Past
Week.

Doran & Wright Co., Of New York, In
their financial review OF the past week to
Walsh, Cropley & Co., Of this city, say; 1t
would require financial Munchausen to
discover or invent any significant feature In
the course of the stock market. Heavy
professional special spectators are out Of
the market. The Chicago people, having
milked Wall street, are satisfied to wait un-
til Mr.. Armour is capable Of taking COM
mand again as the financial horizon becomes
less hazy and the extent Of the corn crop
more clearly defined. The money question
is probably the most Serious for, while the
bears have influence enough to bid up
money to 30 per cent, bulllng stocks on
borrowed money is, TO say the least of IL,
hazardous experiment Money is much
easier now, but the scare is by no means
over and the import Of foreign capital too
uncertain to warrant any positive assurance
OF relief from abroad. In view OF these
facts we are disposed to regard the present
situation as far more favorable to the bear
interests than IL is 10 the bulls. IL is true
the earnings Of some Of the railroads are
very favorable and likely to improve, but IL
Is equally true that this fact was more
than partially discounted In last months
rise, which was due more to manip-
ulation than absolute facts. With re-
war, which has been assigned as the chief
reason for the selling Of stocks during the
past few days for London account, We do
not believe that It will influence the market
very much either way. Besides "wars" do
not always follow the "rumors of wars"
and II anything should happen IL would
more probably prove beneficial TO our In
terests than otherwise. The oil market Is In q
very feversh state. II is much too low TO
sell short, and the. probabilities Of new
wells make it's purchase rather dangerous,
on the theory that oil is cheap at 9. The
market has received very liberal support
around this figure, and had It not been for
an exceptionally large production, the
market would not have staid around that
figure long. We feel very bullsh on the
outlook, and this mornings well news is
very much more encouraging to the bull in-
terests. In fact, we unhesitatingly advise
the purchase Of oil on all breaks, and think
oil will be cheap at before the month is
mast

Second Nationpl Bank from 1872 to 1877.
In 1870 and 1871 be was the auditor OF the

How the Sanitary Condition of the
Treasury VIII be Improved.
The plans for the work of improving the
sanitary condition Of the Treasury Depart
ment building under the $50, 900 approprla-
tion have been perfected and approved by
Mr.. Robinson, the inspector OF plumbing.
The plan complete provides for theremoval
Of the sewer that runs directly under the
building, and the construction Of one Of
newer pattern to be constructed outside.
But the money appropriated is not enough
TO complete this, so it will not be begun
now. The work will be confined to i'm
proving the plumbing throughout the
building All the old pipes and closets will
be taken out and replaced by the most ap-
proved plumbing, with ample ventilation by
double pipes, &c. II is thought the $40, 900
will be sufficient to complete this branch OF
the work, which will afford a great relief,
and when more money is had the entire
plan will be carried out, the whole system
being connected with the new sewers. The
question whether this work shall be done
by day work or by contract is now under
consideration.

In which James II. Graves Took n
Bloody Part.

James B. Graves, of the gas Office, when

like he had been done up by sausage
chopper. lie was charged with assaultng
Mrs. Annie Mccarthy, Of 1l26 Eleventh
street northwest, where he boards. Graves
had both hands cut and his shirt was cut on
the left side lie stated that he had trouble
with Mrs. Mccarthy and she attacked him
with carving knife, she being under the
influence OF liquor, and cut him. He took
the knife from her and ran into the street, she
following him. After arr6sting Graves the
police went with Mrs. Mccarthy TO her
house, where they found everything broken
and disordered, showing that a lively fight
had taken place. She refused TO tell what
the trouble was about, but claimed that
Graves cut his hands by breaking the win
dow to get into the house. Graves wanted
q warrant for Mrs. McCarthy's arrest for as
sault with intent TO kill, but this was re-
fused. Graves left $25 collateral for his ap-
pearance at court to-day. Mrs Mccarthy,
1t will he remembered, created sensation
at the pension office two months ago, one
OF the employees alleging that she struck

Continued Extreme Dizziness In the

Continued Extreme Dizziness in the
Stock Market.
New York, Aug. 27.-The stock market
continued in the same extremely dull con-
dition in which 1t has been for some days
past aud although the speculation eX-
hiblted little more strength, the usually
active stocks exhibited no feature, the i'm
portant movements being confined to few
specialties. The principal feature was the
trading in New York and New England
stock and 1t advanced to the highest point
yet reached. There is much diversity OF
opinion in regard to the movement in this
stock, 1t being variously attributed to con-
test forcontrol, q covering OF shorts, and to
supposed arrangements with other corpo-
rations advantageous 10 the company. The
San Francisco stocks continue to advance
under buying for foreign account induced
by the increasing earnings Of the company.
A story was circulated about threat to
strike on the New York Central, but It was
subsequently denied, and had no appreci-
able effect upon the stock. Prices contln-
ued firm and slight advances were made I'm
the early dealings. Later they became
heavy, and In most cases the early advances
were lost, but in the last hour there was an
improved feeling, and the market closed on
rally, generally at fractions better than
the opening.
Money on call is easy, ranging from
4 to 9, last loan at 6, and closing at asked.

Acting Secretary OF the Treasury Fair
child is in receipt Of report from Special
Agent Tingle on the seal fisheries of Alaska,
in which the special agent, after comment
ing upon the excellent condition Of the fish
cries on the seal Islands, alludes TO the oper-
ations OF the COrwin, and says: "fhis
commencement OF captures will do much
toward breaking up the marauding business
about the Islands this season. Indeed, the
Corwin's presence here has undoubtedly
kept off quite fleet OF schooners aud de-
stroyed their unlawful business hereabouts.
With the cutter Bear to remain until fall,
after coming out OF the Arctic, seal life will
be protected from pirates this season. IL Is
the only means by which good can be ac-
compished In that direction. do earn
estly hope the department will see the neces-
sity Of keeping cutter around the fur seal
Islands every season from the LIST OF June to
the 1st Of November
The report shows that during the past
year the Alaska Seal Company, under its
contract, took $09,9s0 sealskins, in return
for which II paid the government S282, ,437.
Considerable improvement has been made
in the method Of capturing and killing the
seals, resulting In dimlnution OF the per
centage Of loss formerly sustained In killing
animals, the skins OF which were unmer-
cbantable. Although the natives have gener-
ally submitted without opposition TO the
