81 was continually hawking and splitting,
especially the first three or four hours after
getting up in the morning. Physicians told
me my trouble was catarrh. My nose and
throat got so bad, and the disease was so
disagreeable, that 1 tried in every way to
get rid of it, but got only slight temporary
relief
"I noticed that had a heavy, racking
cough, which kept gradually getting worse.

bad in the morning. Any change In the
weather would cause my head and throat to
stuff up and my cough to Annoy me more.
At night I had smothering spells, and
would have to sit up in chair for hours in
order to get my breath. There was feeling
as though something was bound so tightly
around my chest that could not breathe.

"I kept losing in flesh and growing thin

persistent, and 1 could not walk even a

All the disagreeable symptoms of my disease

On handing the above notes of what he had
said to Mr.. Weisbrod, he remarked:

that is exactly how felt, and will willingly

PHILADELPHIA WEAK.
Stock Brokers Think the Recess Will Inn
prove the Market.

Stock Brokers Think the Recess VIII Im-
prove the Market.
There was no special movement in any of the
local stocks yesterday. The leading features
were increased strength in Wheeling Gas and
weakness in Philadelphia, the former advanc-
ing to 3S and closing strong at that figure, and
the latter falling off to Az. 1t was afterward
offered at Az without purchasers. The pros
pective extension of the Philadelphia mains to
the Bellevernon gas field may have had a de-
pressing effect upon the stock, as, if carried
out it would absorb about all the cash in the
treasury, besides indicating decreased amount
of gas from the present sources of supply.
CHARTERS was dull and quiet. Electric was un-
changed and entirely neglected. The fractions
were steady and quiet, the only transactions in
them being sale Of 100 shares of Central at 33.
Nothing was done in Switch and Signal, which
hung around the old figure, while the mining
shares were about as fat as a boarding-house
pancake. Bank stocks were in good demand,
but, as usual, only one or two were offered.
Brokers were hopeful that the recess would
result in stimulating business. There were
orders for most of the specialties but they are
below the market. Bids, offers and sales

STILL AT SEA.
The Long Adjournment Throws the Oil Mar

The Long Adjournment Throws the Oil Mar.
ket Into Chaotic Condition.
The oil market was in a chaotic condition
yesterday, and while there was no particular
excitement, the anxiety growing out of the
long adjournment from yesterday noon until
Thursday was very pronounced. With the
bearish outlook in the field and other uncer-
tainties, and with the market on the decline,
the main risk growing out of the recess, it was
thought, was mainly against the longs, who
did not take advantage of selling at the top.
On the other hand, the shorts had no special
difficulty in getting all the oil they wanted at
fiat to 25 cents, showing about the same condi-
tion as prevailed on the decline from 80 to 80,
part of which time the longs had to pay from
25 to 40 cents for carrying Taking all things
into consideration, it was the. opinion of some
of the most experienced brokers that the sus-
pension would work no particular harm to the
short interest, and might improve it. Many of
the brokers opposed the adjournment, but the
Governor of New York having declared on
Friday that Wednesday would be legal hoIi-
day in that State, it was forced on PittSburg
it being too late for the other exchanges to re-
consider their action and leave the exchanges
open on Monday.
AS anticipated, the market opened off from
sc to Hc all along the line. The first price
here was 65c, but it was almost Immediately
hammered down to 1880 and fuctuated be-
tween that point and 85c until near the Close
when it weakened to S414c, 1c below the open
ing, where it stood at the finish. Trading in
puts and calls indicated considerable doubt as
TO which side of the market would profit by the
shutdown, both being apprehensive of a snake
in the grass. Puts went at S27ac and calls at
S55Sc. There was considerable trading, but no
unusually large blocks were dumped.

days-AFirm Tone With n Close
mt the Best Prices.
NEW YORK, April 2z.-The trading on the
stock market was the smallest for any Satur-
day for long time; and the changes in quota
tions were on a similar scale, although strong
tone was developed and most stocks traded in
were left fractionally higher than last evening.
The advance at the board was small and the
holidays seemed already to have begun. as the
interest in the speculation was reduced to the
smallest limits and the iquidations on both
sides of the account seemed to have been com-
pleted.
The heaviness OF last evening, however, was
carried over to this morning, and first prices
were from "A to q per cent lower than last
nights figures. The subsequent dealings devel-
oped little business in Atchison, Union Pa
cific and Reading, but the fluctuations were
confined to g per cent, and showed no tendency
in either direction, and the market settled
down to utter stagnation.
Toward the close, however, there was a
renewal of the buying apparently for foreign
account, and Pullman and Louisville and Nash
vile showed marked strength, the former
moving up about per cent and the latter l
per cent, from its lowest point The movement
extended to all portions of the list, however,
fractions, the market closed firm though dull
at about the best prices reached
The dealings in railroad bonds were on a
somewhat more liberal scale than those in
shares but the total transactions were only
SS9O, ,000.- The tone of the dealings. however.
was rather mixed. and important changes are
few in number and principally among the In
active issue. The Wabash issues were the
strong point in the list. Among these which
are higher, Keokuk and Des Moines firsts rose
2, to los; Jersey Central convertibles, 81 to
I2SH; Wabash seconds, f. to 100. and the con-
vertible receipts, 2 to 100. The losses include

going on in Pittsburg besides sitting around

surface indications, as in some former seasons,
there is a large movement constantly gong for

a huge aggregate OF cash and keeps every body
busy to keep up with engagements There has

PRETTY SAChET CASES.

Ono Whose Construction Requires But
Little Expense and Labor.
One Of the prettiest seen this season was
Of the simplest construction, requiring
neither artistic skill with the brush nor any
vast amount Of labor. First, seven pieces
of different colored ribbon, chosen with a
view to pleasant blending or vivid con-
trast, as desired. Each piece should be
seven inches long and two wide,
and fringed out at both ends. Then
fold in half and sew the edges firmly
over and over with fine silk to match each
separate ribbon. This makes seven small
bags Take cotton batting, cut to just slip
in each bag and come up to the neck Of
each, ::where they arc to be tied. Fold into
each piece of batting whole spices, rose
leaves, violet or heliotrope pow der; each
may have a separate perfume If desired,
Gatherup the neck Of each bag abouta third
or half an inch below the narrow fringe
gather firmly with strong thread and
fasten securely. Have ball of gold tinsel
cord and cut seven pieces of unequal length,
and each long enough to double; the short
est should be at least yard long. Fold in
the middle and take the two ends and tic
around the neck Of bag. This leaves the
loop to hang up by. Gather all these loops
and fasten on button ring, and hang ovei
the corner of the dressing case mirror. A
quarter yard difference in the length Of
each piece OF tinsei cor6 viii give a pleasing
inequality in the position of each bag. These
sachet cases can be made equally pleasing
on the same principle out of scraps Of bro
cade, plaid or changeable silks or satins, OF
even Of velvet and plush. 1t is mere ques
ton of taste in combining colors-N. Y,

MEXICAN PROSPERITY

The last number Of the Mexican Finau-
cier contains the following summary
''Business is improving; planters have
taken new heart and ale introducing
modern methods of cultivation, and new
mills and factories are in process of con-
struction in almost every state and terri
tory of the republic. Keeping pace with
this onward march of the country the
banks are extending their branches and
giving more liberal aid to the commer-
cial community, and thus for the first
time in the business history of Mexico
there is a free movement Of money and g.
legitimate expansion 'of trade. The
most powerful cause of this condition OF
affairs is the firmness and proven stability
of the government, which gives all hon
est, law-abiding citizens protection and
encouragement. The credit of the gov
eminent is well established at home and
abroad, and this fact explains why capt.
tai is flowing into the country from Eu-
rope, especially from England, in ever
increasing amounts. 49,
