M0aaqy gi7'Js 1t school, 7aOaU robust and promising well for the future, were not always so. h. fancy is a time of trial and of weakness, and it seems a merci- full provision that in later years all knowledge of that critical time-a struggle between life and death-is entirely plotted out. Many a life, now established upon a firm basis, owes its sub- stantiality to Johann Hoff's Malt Extract. When nursing mothers have introduced into their dietary this wonderful tonic the issue has invariably been strength and the maintenance of health. We know what terrible care it must be to the parental breast for a daughter to be lolling about in one place or another through listlessness or indisposition to exertion, or for a son to be unftted for study or business through anamic con- ditions. Begin early with Johann Hoff's Malt Extract and let every mother make it a portion of her daily beverage, and those appall- ing scenes which make the most luxurious home mockery of comfort will be less and less ire quent. Purchasers are warned against imposition and disaP- pointment. Insist upon the "Genuine," which must have the signature of "Johann Hoff " on the neck label.

A Favorable Bank Statement lnf1u. ences Higher PrIces-Sugar Certifi- cates and New England Conspicu- Closing Hour.
 NEW YORK, March IS
 There were plenty of buying orders in to-day's market; for the temper of the speculative com munity has undergone very radical change; but the buying cid not begin in earnest until the last half hour. The trading of the frtt hour was indeed particularly dull. Short covering ad- vanced prices at the opening, but a slight down ward reaction followed, and the real character of the market displayed itself only on the ap- pearance of the bank statement The favorable mated, for the inoreass reserve was due to causes altogether apart from increase in cash holdings. But 1t served It's purpose on the m ark. (, and was instantly followed by a rapid bidding up of prices throughout the list The closing was universally strong, and in Sugar Ger tihcates, New Hngland and other stocks where the short nte. still the gains of ths day were of striking proportions. The fact that gold withdrawals of exports have now been resumed was quite ignored on the market, where indeed news of any kind played an insig- nificant part. The withdrawals for the present, however, are small, and to-days material in. crease in the treasury's gold surplus was reas- suring for the governments temporary outlook. Following are the closing prices, reported by PRINCE 6 wHIrKLY, bankers and brokers, z6 Broadw N. Y., and Is Center street, New Ha- ven, Conn.,

dlt1On such that merchants right along Orange street, leading merchants some of them, members of churches some of them, sign the application for license to a new saloon on Orange atrest? To be sure we have only 41S or thereabout in the city now. To be sure the clerks and salesmen of these merchants would have to go few sseps further, prob bly, five or six rods further, for drink land when @ man has had several drinks every etep eounts). But 1t made me groan in spirit when read that list of names And it made me thank God when re ad that other list, the list of those who signed the protest against issuing such licenee, to
 find there on the right side the business men of Orange street who are members of the First Baptist church. What these other men are thinking of I cannot imao- inc. Only three days ago our city attorney said: "Rum, of course, causes about nine- tenths of the cases in the city court" Ia 1t business consideration merely that moves these mena Will it make new friend for the firm If this favor is granted9 But every time you put 8 new saloon into a community you injure by SO much the re- spectable trade. It takes some men lono time to see 1t. Money which might have gone to these merchants goes to the saloon now, and the amount which will ever find 1tc way onoA A1OA4 tAo 6AlOOu 6O the Y6- spectacle merchants is infinitesimsl. More over it is possible that the money which belongs in the respectable merchants drawer may begin in thin little stream. so small as to be unnoticed for a lono time, to trick1e out of that drawer throuch the hands of the employees into the gin mill till.
 From business considerations, honest. sagacious, long-headed business considera, tions, I cannot see how any of theee men could sign that application, with one sin gle exception. That exception is in favor of the eminent undertaking firm whose name appeared on the liquor mans docu- ment For the undertaken beyond 8 doubt there Is money in it. To the undertaken the saloon brings great spoil. Hence let us throw veil of charity over the under. takers "beer.n
 But do you know what these merchants say when you ask them why they do such g thinga I am afraid you do not know. Let me tell you. They say: ssNew Haven wants the saloon; 1t says 50 by It's vote;
