WALL STREET.
After Various Fluctuations Stocks Close
at the Lowest Figures.

WALL STREET, Nov. 25.-Stocks open
ed with the usual irregular changes
from last nights figures, but with re-
dictionary temper, and early prices were
not maintained. In the active stocks
pressure was more urgent, and while
there was little animation outside Of
hall dozen stocks, among which st.
Paul, Atchison, Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, and Union Pacific were most
prominent, the whole list moved off.
Large fractions were lost in all of the
lists. Atchison was specially weak,
closing Ia lower. The buying demand
increased, however, and the early losses
were recovered with fractions in addi-
tiOn. Sugar was also feature; after
opening at 55 for cash, 53 for regular,
against 5534 last evening, it further re-
tired to 5131 and then fluctuated violent
lv between 531a and So. There was a
slight recession from the best figures in
the latter portion of the hour, and at
IL the market was active and strong at
about the best prices.
Stocks after II O'Clock were less active,
and the reaction from the high prices
attained, made further progress. At
noon the market was quiet and again
weak, generally at fractions below
opening.
The decline made but slight progress
after IL O'Clock. From that time the
market showed a steady dimnution in
business, while prices reacted slowly
and advanced until toward / O'Clock
when sugar was up IL at 81. Another
decline followed, but firm tone soon
returned, and fluctuations remained ex-
tremely small. At 2:l5 the market was
dull and firm, generally at fractions be-
low best prices.
Stocks again developed considerable
activity after 2:15, but showed increased
weakness, and the whole list yielded
slowly. In many cases the lowest
prices of the day were ecorded-closing
weak at the bottom.

The Child of an Evil Parent.

Malvolio sa's in Shakespeare's comedy OF
Twelfth Might "Some are born great, some
achieve greatness, and some have greatness
thrust upon them" So it is with nervousness.
Some are horn nervous, some achieve nervous
and some have nervousness thrust upon them
by disease. The basic starting point of this
ailment, which grows rapidly and assumes
stage OF hypochondria and chronic sleepless-
ness, is weakness, the child of indigestion,
parent of many evils. For the incapacity of
the stomach to digest food, and of the system
to 1assimilate 1t after digestion, Hostetters

SILVEB.
The silver situation has cleared up con-
siderably during the last few days. It will
be remembered that majority of the house
committee on coinage, weights and measures
had agreed upon bill which conforms in
substance with the plan recommended by
Secretary Window in his report. The
senate finance committee had agreed upon q
bill differing essentially from that and going
much farther in the direction of unlimited
silver coinage. In order to reconcile these
differences If possible, Republican caucus
of each branch appointed a conference COM
mittss to try to agree upon a bill which
would be acceptable to the Republicans Of
the senate and the house. This committee
has agreed to report to the Republican cau-
GUS the Window bill as previously reported
in the house, changed only 80 as to give to
the treasury instead of the holder OF silver
bullion certificates the choice whether they
shall be redeemed in coin or bullion.
The silver infationists didn't want to have
the secretary of the treasury allowed any dis
cretion in the matter. They hold that the
country needs more circulation, and the
cheaper the better. They wish to exchange
their silver bullion at It's market value for
silver dollars worth twenty.fve per cent lees
than their face, and believe that the tendency
Of the imitation will be to advance the price
of silver. The conservatives hold that the
time must come when this undue expansion
of cheap silver circulation will drive out gold
and place it ct premium, which would Grip
pie all our commercial transactions. As the
bill now stands it seems to be safe.

FASHIONS IN PARIS.


Summer Wear.
As usual at this season of the year, Eng
lish stuffs, which are 80 well adapted for
street and travelling dresses, take prece-
dsnce. Although this year these fabrics
retain all the properties which have made
them favorites, the range of novelties is
wider, Durability is one of the chief quail
ties of these tissues, which in the lighter
grades, resembling beige, as well as in the
thicker and more woolly qualities, are woven
with twisted yarn, which makes them ex-
ceedinRly durable, Gays the Dry Goods Econ
omist. In stripes, squares and thread de-
signs these tissues have no longer the appear
ance of being exclusively for men, while the
rougher qualities show on plain or melan1e
grounds broche and famine designs in black.
While having durability equal to the above,
vigogne tissues have a more elegant appear
ance. They are flexible and are seen either
plain or with fine woven knots; some are
striped and are suitable for travelling; others
show fine hair stripes in all modern combina-
tions of color. Fashion has remained faith
full to stripes, which are seen in all widths
mp to four inches and over, in the line of the
welt as well as of the warp. Much favor is
shown to Bayadere tissues, in which over
one-half of the width of the fabric has
stripes, the other portion being quite plain,
the arrangements being sufficiently varied to
permis the skirt to be nearly entirely of the
fancy pattern, or to show this only in the
two wide front and back breadths, in which
case the stripes appear again on the waist
and sleeves, Beautiful specimens OF these
fabrics are seen in dove gray, with black and
white silk stripes in mile and atlas alterna-
ting; also in mode color, with stripes of the
same tissue in darker and lighter gradustions
of the same color. A mauve Bayadere has
over the wide stripes a net of strong light
oolored silk which is tressed in relief with
black thread.

Remarkable Surgical Operation.
From the Pittsburg Leader.l

Drs. John s. Mabon and W. M. Heron,
of Allegheny. performed the novel operation
of intubation this week on Charles E. Locke,
the three-year-old son of the pastor of the
Smithfeld street NJ. E. church. The little
fellow was suffering from diphtheria and
could hardly breathe. The mouth of the pa
tient was distended by gag, which also di-
lated the throat. A cone-shaped silver tube
was then inserted in the wind pipe, but go
placed as not to interfere with the esophagus
or passage to the stomach. Immediate re-
lief was experienced, aud constitutional
treatment of the disease was begun. The
old method of making an incision in the
wind-pipe and placing the tube therein had
the very dangerous and Objectionable feature
of permitting the cold air to enter the lungs,
which in many instances produces pneumo-
MIA. By the other means the inhalstions are
warmed by passing through the mouth and
nostrils, or, in other words, natural breath
ing is restored. The operation was per-
formed in this locality but once before, and
that was in case where child's air passage
was almost closed by Group. The tube is In
serted by means of curved forceps. The new
treatment was invented by DR.. Duweyer, a
celebrated physician of Chicago, and has
been use only two years. All the indications
are now favorable to young Locke's recov-

A Lunar Rainbow

The crowds of politicians who thronged
the all-night saloons were treated to hesv-
enly display at about 1 O'Clock this morning
that is rarely witnessed. It was a lunar
rainbow, as perfect and as brilliant as the
most perfect and brilliant rainbow that ever
adorned an eastern sky when the sun bursts
forth after summer evening shower. The
bow first formed half circle over the moon
and underwent a gradual change until per-
feet cross and crescent were formed. The
play of color was beautifully grand and the
mated that the electric street lights paled.
Lunar rainbows are supposed to be the heav-
emily forerunners of war, and when they take
the form of cross and crescent the war
which will follow will be of a religious ma
tur6.
