on Record-orders Came From Foreign
Sources Too.
New York, December 23.-It has been
long time since the stock exchange has
witnessed such lively opening as it did
this morning. The brokers were in bet
ter spirits and long before the opening it
certainly seemed that strong reaction
had set in and that the market would see
a sharp recovery today. Seldom has Wall
street been SO active at such an early
hour as it was today. Financial people
generally were at their desks and the
floor of the exchange half an hour before
the beginning of business was crowded
with bustling throng of brokers and at
tendants
The good feeling manifested on the ex-
change this morning was attributed to
the better tone for Ameri cans in London,
the statement that the clearing house
would at a meeting at noon today recon-
mend the issuance Of loan certificates if
necessary, and the efforts now making at
Washington to relieve the treasury situ-
alton.
A feature of the opening Of the market
was..the enormous number OF orders from
outside investors. Almost every broker
had his share Of business and as the pur-
chases were outright they tended to
steady the market, give confidence to
the brokers and make them happy, inas-
much as the dealings relieved them from
further RESPONSE bility OF the orders. Prac-
ticaily all the foreign houses had buying
f1,oo o,,do ooyp a
from all parts Of the continent and in the
aggregate ran into the thousands OF
shares. The fact that all the settlement
to the stock exchange clearing house was
completed before 10. 80 a. M, was anoth-
or development which tended to inspire
the street with confidence. AS the SETTLE
ments were carried through successfully,
the sensational rumors. that were current
late Saturday about impending failures
of big stock exchange firms, were at once
set at rest.
Prices in the first hour rushed up any
where from to 12 pOlnts,a further rise
in prices was recorded at the stock ex-'
change after II and brokers with Wander
bilt and other strong connections were
buyers of the market.
The clearing house association decided
to issue loan certificates which will bear
per cent interest and commission of
one-sixteenth per cent.
| Stocks continued to improve after mid
day and some Of the prominent issues
got up to the best figures OF the day: The
action of the clearing house association
in authorizing the issue of loan certifl-
| Gates had a very favorable influence and
| was the main factor in restoring conf
dence. Another highly important devel-
opment was the appearance Of J. p. Nor
| agn & Co. in the money market. This
house, through its brokers. brokers sup
piled the street with over million Of
money and the rate on divided stocks
tell to about normal quotations.

Oregon's Great Seaport.

The prediction of shrewd old John
Jacob Astor is about to be fulfilled. The
city of Astoria, Oregon, is about to
become the greatest seaport and me-
tropolis of Northwestern America.
It's location and resources have at.
tracted the attention of capital, and 1t
is today the best field for the invest.

the American continent.

ience the impetus Of a connection In
different directions with two Of the
greatest continental railway systems.
Astoria's harbor advantages 6he
best on the whole Pacific COAST are
now understood and appreciated; its
fishing interests (already paying to the
hands employed in the salmon canneries
alone over s25O,0O0 Of wages each
month"; are to be augmented by the
investment of outside capital and the
erection of large and latest improved
plants. The immense forests of Ore
gon pine surrounding the city are TO
be converted into lumber for the Aus
tralian, Chinese, Japanese, and South
American markets.
The great coal fields within few
miles of the city are to be Immediately
opened, and the product thereof shipp-

A dairying region unsurpassed in the
whole world is to be opened up and
afforded an outlet to market.
A harbor, better than that Of San
Francisco, and the only one with this
exception on the more than two thous-
and miles of Pacific coast, is to be
supplied with increased dockage and
coaling facilities, and immense grain
elevators will be built to store and load

THE UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE OF
A CANNON

Close by would not have more dis
turbing effect upon the nerves which
are vigorous, than an ordinary noise
upon those which are weak and un-
Strung. AS a nervine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is unrivalled. By pro-
moting digestion and assimilation they
overcome that gastric disorder, which
is the most prolific cause of nervous
debility, and which, so long as it exists,
defeats in a large measure the action
of sedatives and opIaIbes. Such reme-
dies, moreover, necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to
act altogether, except in dangerous
quantities. They never reach the foun-
tain head of the trouble, and quiet the
nerves only by seni-paralyzing them.
Equally Objectionable are fiery unmedi-
Gated alcoholic stimulants. Kidney,
bladder and liver trouble, malaria, con-
stipation, and rheumatism are relieved
by the Bitters, which also promotes
appetite and nightly repore.
