New YORK. July I.-The stock market
to-day was again moderately active. and
while there was u continuance of q beariSh
pressure upon the list, together witt con
siderable liquidation Of long accounts. no
MdtGriI. impression was made upon the
leading shares outside of Rock Island, and
in the afternoon some of the specialtieS
developed marked strength with the effect
Of recovering portion Of the losses of the
last few days.
BY the action OF the market Yesterday
afternoon ana this morning. many were led
10 believe that the downward movement,
that is the power of the bears to further
depress prices, was notably at an end and
the crisis in the pressure this morning was
more vigorous than during the last three
days. The circulation of rumors rejecting
on the standing Of some of the best houses
on the street was looked upon in some
quarters is an indication that the prOmul-
gators of the stories had about come 10 the
end of their rope, and more disposition was
eyinced 10 take chances on the other side of
the market, which was encouraged also by
buying on foreign account, estimated at
some 25.OO0 shares.
The smaller shorts ran TO cover, but the
large bear interests maintained their atti-
tude and sold the list, as usual conCentrat-
ing mir early efforts upon Rock Island and
Northern Pacific preferred. though the
unusually large gain of the latter AT opening
gave an opportunity for effective hammer
ing init Rock Island. however, was the
only stock ii which any real important de
cline was effected among the leading
shares Later in the day some of the spec
ialtieS made dips which were generally
quickly neutralzed and prices as rule
were well held throughout the day.
The market finally closed dull but steady

the day. Final changes are quite irregular

The Central American Coffee Industry,

The following from an exchange may be
OF interest to the local coffee trade: The
French consul general of Guatemala directs
attention TO the great advance which
coffee cultivation has made in that country
during the last few years Statistical re-
ports make ii appear that in ten wears pro
duCtiOn has more than doubled. and the
price reached by the product has more than
Quadrupied. 1t was calculated at the time
the conSul-general wrote February IL that
the harvest of 1890 would reach ABOUT
seven hundred thousand quiutalS, repre-
sentiug the sum Of sl6,0O0,00O. The extra
ordinary high price of coffee has led 10 a
transformation of the country: small land
owners, who drew from their harvest re
sources merely sufficient for working pur-
poses. find themselves now with considcra-
ole capital. with which they can improve
their property. These good results have
led to unbridled speculation. and large COM
pauies, principally German. have been
formed for creating vast 'eXploitatlonS:

critics that three years since were
estimated 10 be worth S2JO.000 10
$4,000 The impulse has become general,
and every small artisan who has been able
to save little has abandoned his first work
and turned agriculturist. This will last as
long as the price of coffee rules so high,
but 4 reaction may be produced shortly and
complete ruin will be the consequence OF
large number of producers. The harvest OF
Brazil, which was last year only 1900, coo
bags, is 100000 this year; the European

The Side to Sleep On.

There's q brilliant young physician in
Detroit who should have been q great
American humorist. During the recent
hot weather patient who hadn't been
sleeping well applied to him for advice.
What side should sleep on, doctor?'
he inquired.
''In winter or summer" asked the doc
tor, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
whats that got to do with itf" e1-
claimed the patient half angrily.
"a great deal" responded the doctor
mysteriously.

"Of course you DON'T" said the doctor
imperturbably; eff you did sou wouldn't
be here asking me about it."
Go ahead then" and the patient settled
back resignedly.
We'll" continued the doctor, Sin win
fer, when it is cold, you should sleep on the
inside; but in such weather as this you

MORNING COLD BATHS.
Unpleasant Symptoms Which They Some
times Cause in Weak People.

Unpleasant Symptoms Which They Some
times Cause in Weak People.
In the past few years several patients
have come to me complaining that they
from time to time, especially in winter, in
the early part Of the day, have expeetorat-
ed mucus tinged with blood, writes ply
stefan in the London Lancet. In each case
there was no family history Of phthisis, the
temperature was normal, there were no
bacilli discoverable in the sputa, there was
no loss of strength or weight and the chest
sounds were healthy. The men, however,
were not of vigorous type, and they were
all accustomed to have cold bath sum-
mer and winter. 1t seemed likely, espe-
cially in winter, that the sudden applica-
ton of intensely cold water to the whole
surface of the skin too suddenly raised the
internal blood pressure, and hence the ooz-
ing of the blood through the walls of the
capillary vessels lying beneath the lining
membrane of the thrca: or larynx, or pos
sibly the lungs. In any case, whatever the
true explanation may be, the fact stands
out that the unpleasant symptoms disap-
peGred rs soon US the temperature of the
icy cold water was reasonably increased.

Lake Shore sold at the highest price it
has reached in years, touching 119, and

The market closed firm but at close to the
lowest figures of the day. Final changes
are generally small fractional losses, but
Lake Shore is & lower and Lackawanna 2
per cent.
State bonds dull and firm.
Government bonds dull and easy.
