An Ample Fund of Pleasure and Health.
May be derived from an ocean voyage and
foreign travel. But before one gets ones ''sea
legs" on, as the sailor says. the abominsble
qualms, begotten OF sea sickness, have usually
TO be gotten over. Delicate people suffer- of
course. more than the robust from this oil
ment, but few ssa travellers escape it. Against
the frightful nausea it produces, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is a reliable defense, and is
so esteemed by tourists. commercial travellers,
yachtsmen and mariners An ailment akin
to sea sickness often atliots land travellers with
weak stomachs. This is often brought on by
the jarring OF a railway train. Disquietude in
the gastric region from this cause is always
remedied by the Bitters, which also prevents
and cures chill and fever. rheumau.m nervous

BRADSTREETS REVIEW.

NEW YORK, March l6-Bradstreet's review
of the New York stock market says:
1.-The expected passag., OF the Bland seign-
forage bill has been leading factor IA connec-
ton with the stock markets this week. Tho
adoption Of the bill by the senate was fully
anticipated, its effect being shown mainly by
the renewed tone of hesitation and the marked
falling Off IN public interest. The market
throughout was much quieter than thai OF
last week. although prices have not receded
very materially, tho underlying tone of
strength being asserted In the face OF re-
and in some instances, particularly among
the low priced railroad shares, disposition
to advance has been exhibited. The strength
ofexchange created the usual anticlpations of
gold shipment, but the demand for the bills
seems to be proportionately as light as the
supply OF commercial drawings, and another
week passed without the announcement of
any gold engagements until Friday, when
81 -, 900 were taken. In the early part OF the
Week London purchased small amounts or
stocks, apparently TO cover shorts, but has
shown little o.! her interest In this market.
One Of the chief re tSons for the hesitation
which the market exhibits is the fear that the
adoption OF such a concession to silver sentl-
nent as The Bland bill viii be unfavorably re-
ceived abroad and may, In the sensitive con-
dition OF the foreign market, create an actively
adverse sentiment there in regard to our
financial position. The characteristic of the
market throughout has been of "a negative
kind, q noticeable feature being the SuSpen-
sion OF activity In Sugar, which stock has
be n com paratively neglected or subordinated
TO the Movement OF the general market. The
market on Friday. though dull, was firm, on
the ex pectation that presidential veto Will
prevent the BiaId Dill from becoming law

TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, March II. -Bradstreets review
OF the state OF trade tomorrow will say:
The unusual prolongation of springlike
weather curing the early portion OF March has
greatly stimulated conSumptive demand in
almost all staple lines. Confederation of this
is found In almost unanimous reports of in
CT eased sales from six OF the larger disiribuf-
Ing points In the New England and middle
states, where general trade has heretofore been
reported barely steady.
.'Chicago reports continuance of last

trade, this weeS having been the best thus far
in the season, will many buyers in the city
and some dry goods houses working az night
to keep up with the orders. Dealers IN cloth

m md, and there is an Improvement IN the
requests for light hardware. Similar advices
are received from ST. Louis tobbers of dry
goods, millinery. hats and shoes, while at
Kansas City the total is p per cent smaller
than a year ago. don wool sales
are to close today, and takingS for
the United States are considerable. The tim
ulated demand for wholesale dry goods has
resulted in an oversale OF gIng"amS. and
prices are 4 cent higher, although Il has taken

An army of 1900, 900 men! How Ma

But wher we come to enumerste

NEW YORK, March 18.-Despte the engage
ment of the million and quarter OF COLO Tor
shipment to England tomorrow and the great
probability OF the signing oithe seisniorage
bill by the president, the stock market was
strong and q higher range OF prices was estah-
Hshed throughout the enIire active list. and
al but few of the speclait,es traded IN. The

conjecture, and the financial community OF
the city seems to be a unit against Il, hut he
gold exports were not a factor OF the specuia-
tive situation at all, end the greatest advance
was made Just after the announcements OF
the projected shipments Were made. There
was at no time very great pressure 70 sell.
At the opening, prices were mostly a fraction
higher than the closing figures ofyest erday.
Cordage was notably strong, on report that
the United States Cordage company had
entered into an agreement with the National
Cordage com any. by which the interests OF
the latter were entirely benefited This APP
parenty well founded statement induced
purchases of the shares of the National COM
pany, causing them to rapidly advance. In
the early dealings the general list advanced Is
to q per cent. A slight reaction was soon
made but the speculation recovered its tone
and an upward movement began, which Ccn-
ttnued in force up TO midday, an improve
ment being recorded of Ii 10 2. per cent,
Amer noon the trading became very sluggish
a1d some few shares declined a small frac-
ton, but the market was generally held firmly
until about 1:3O o'clock, when small raid
was made On Chicago Gas, which resulted IN

tendency of prices was of brief duration, and
during the last hour speculation, although
dull, was very strong. The market closed
firm at or near the highest price touched.
The bond market was generally firm through

wailing aloud while the women about
her chanted doleful songs. While that

the bride must take to her husband.
When the sedan was ready the bride,
astride the back of a female member

rice and the shooting of firecrackers
she was bundled into the sedan and the

gave his friends 4 great feast, and that
completed the ceremony that made
them man and wife.
