NEW YORK STOCKS.

BullIsh-Marked Activity In
Railrond Randa.

Railroad Bonds.
NEW YORK. May 10-The stock market to-
| day, during its session. maintained the
| large volume of business. The market, how
ever, had tired look, and prices sagged away
during the greater portion of the session, al
though the general feeling is still very bullish
and the undertone remains strong. Texas Pa
cific, on the favorable comments from Mr..
Gould was active at advancing figures, while
the rest Of the list as q rule, were sagging
away The active features were Atchison,
Missouri Pacific, Texas Pacific, Richmond and
West Point, st. Paul, and the Trusts. The
only really strong features Of the day
however was Cleveland Cincinnati, Chicago
and st Louis, which made sharp spurt in the
while Pacific Mail was the weak point in the
list dropping away upon certain election
rumors. The uncertainty as to the complexion
of the bank statement made the traders in
clined to follow the lead of the bears and the
demand was not quite sufficient to meet the
pressure. but after the bank statement was
issued there was disposition to take in the
short lines put out earlier. and smart rally
occurred in the last few minutes trading
although the losses were not made up. The
close was active, and strong generally at small
fractions below last nights figures. Pacific
Mail declined lT per cent, but this with the
rise in Cleveland, Cincinnati Chicago and st.
Louis, were the only important changes for the
day
Railroad bonds continued to exhibit the
marked activity of the past few DAYS. and the
sales for the two hours were 81. 1886 0O0 out of
which the Texas Pacific seconds furnished
$4,000, the Iron Mountain was s2O5, ,0OO the
Wabash seconds $4,000 and the st. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas trust receipts Sl22 000
There was the same firm to strong tone with
little special feature to the dealings, and not
wlthstanding the activity, the important move
ments in prices were very few in number New
York, SusQuehanna and Western seconds rose
8. to 70; Iron Mountain 5s 2ss, to 94I The sales
of bonds for tie week aggregated SIG, ,2S3 600.

Developments in the CHARTERS Valley are

these days. The o'Brien well No. aroused
fresh enthusiasm yesterday. She was shot
about noon yesterday with 100 quarts. The
dose was not given because the well was
failing, but because the owners wanted to get
the amber fluid out as quickly as possible and
some of their neighbors say they want to get oil
out of adjoining territory before the latter
reach the sand. Be that as it may, the shot was
a great success. The reaction was immense,

sumed operations, cleaning herself without
awaiting help, and putting some sand into the
tank along with the oil. Just what she will do
when cleaned out cannot be stated before to-
morrow. MIR. O'Brien and his partners are
Sabbatarians, and ordered that work in that
direction be suspended until after IL o'clock
tonight. They will allow the well to work on
her own hook to-day, however. She flows at

The Coraopolis field has given the scientists
another black eye: The Kendall well which

Squire Ferree's we'll is said to be hopelessy

Gas Company's well on Alfred McCabe's farm
was also called dry, but yesterday it was stated
that it had given greasy indications and would
be shot before the casing be pulled. George
Lashell's well, near the original Ferree well, is
in doubt, some saying that it looks like
duster, while others say it may be payer.
The original Coraopols well George
Ferree's farm is still paying, but has declined

good, considering the brevity of toll. Bullish

the switching interest from one stock to an

buy something that has been quietly resting for
awhile. The boom in Missouri Pacific continued

Chicago Grain Market.

CHIcAGO-Wheat-Tra was quite active
again, but the volume of business was not SO
large as during the preceding three or four
days. The feeling developed was very nervous
and operators anxiously awaited the Govern
ment report. Prices were very irregular and
covered very wide range. It was difficult to
do any business in May and trading In June
was also rather unsatifactory. Trading GEN.
tered principally in July, with increasing busi-
ness in the more deferred futures. The open
ing for July was l1@9llc higher than yester-
days closing. but quickly weakened and prices
declined with numerous small fluctuations
211c from top prices, ruled very irregular with
in the established range, and closed &c higher
than yesterday. May wheat closed about H9lc
higher and June about the same as yesterday,
There was nothing really in outside news to
have caused the unsettled feeling which ex-
listed, but the uncertainty of the Government
report made operators undecided which course
to pursue, though the declining prices Undue ed
many operators to sell. There was heavy real
izing during the session. Rain was reported in
the Northwest. The condition OF wheat in
California, it was claimed, was IS against II
last month st, Louis also sent in some bullish
news, claiming that the crop of Missouri was
reported 25 per cent short of an average.
Corn was fairly active and unsettled. the
market ruling firm early and weak later. Offer
ings were heavy from all quarters, the country
selling freely, as well as local warehousemen
and room traders. The demand was confined
mainly to shorts. Receipts were light, and
this and wet weather tended to hold up values,
though the firm opening was due to the ad-
vance in wheat at that time. The trade CEN
tered in July, aud there was heavy trading in
this month around 351s. The market opened
M63Ac better than the closing prices of yester-
day. but soon became weaker, and declined
with slight reactions, 1z@ssc,- rallied a little,
ruled steady and closed L03sc better than
yesterday.
Oats were fairly active but unsettled, but the
volume of trade failed to reach the magnitude
of yesterday. The opening was firmer and 1S3
nc higher on the leading futures, owing to
cold, wet weather, and higher prices for wheat
and corn. The highest prices were recorded at
the opening, but were not maintained long, as
the demand was not large enough, and the

Plenty of Figures and Few Sales Close n
Disappointing Week.

The only active property was Westinghouse

SYMPTOMS OF cATARRH,
How the Sufferer Can Detect the Coming Of
Troubls.

4 COmtnQ
Trouble.
One of the most common and annoyin1
| effects of catarrh is a continual dropping in
the back part of the throat which is es-
pecially noticed while lying down in bed.
The patient affected with this disease feels
fairly well in the afternoon, but toward
evening the nose becomes partially stopped,
the voice gets little husky, and, in some
cases, the throat may feel a little sore, or
stuffed up, and when he retires for the night
the patient finds that, added to his other
| symptoms, he cannot breathe through his
nose, which has become entirely plugged
| up, the result of which is that he snores to
the annoyance of himself and room mate,
and, in some cases, when the partition il
thin, even his neighhors' lives are made
miserable.
A person so affected will drop off to sleep
only to wake up after shorter or longer
period by feeling dropping in the back
part of the throat. After passing a wretehed
night filled with bad dreams and annoying
sensations, caused by the dropping in the
throat, he will awake in the morning not at
all refreshed, but feeling more tired than he
did the night previous on going to bed.
After getting out of bed in the morning
he finds his throat and upper part of the swal-
low filled with slime and mucus which has col
night, and which causes a bad taste and . sticky
sensation in the mouth.
The first thing he is called to do Is to rid his
throat of the mucus, which he does by hawk
ing up the offensive material. In some cases
this causes gagging and vomiting Ihe result
of all this is disgust for food. and no break
fast a very light one, is the result.
But this is not the worst. During the night
considerable of the offensive mucus is swsl-
lowed, and when food is taken into the stomach
it is coated over by this material and so pre-
vented from coming in contact with the di-
gestive fluids, the result of which is the food
decom poses. gas is formed, which bloats the
patient up, causing him to belch and tasting
the offensive material. Part of this poisonous
material is absorbed by the blood and taken
into the system, where it irrItates the nerves.
causing headache and the thousand and one
little aches and pains that people complain Of.
