THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 2S.-The early trad
ing at the Stock Exchange was char
acterized by great firmness. Commits
sion houses were in receipt of good Or
ders to buy railway list generally, the
agreement reached by the Trunk line
presidents to restore rates July and
the advance in the prices of anthracite
coal having made a number of bulls.
London was also q buyer of American
securities and this contributed in no
small degree to the rise of Aa2& per
cent, which took place in the hour
of trading. Just before l o'clock a
tremendous selling movement started
in the Industrials and these issues
broke anywhere from to 7as per cent.
Sugar dropped s., to 1868; Chicago
Gas, A to 81; Lead, 3A to 3lh; Distillers,
2 to 1855; General Electric, 2% to BAN d;
Burlington and Quincy 2as to SO, and
the general hist anywhere from u to TX
per cent.
The slump was attributed to liquida-
tion by an eX-member of the Stock Ex-
change, who has taken quite promi-
nent part in the recent bull movement
in Sugar. In the afternoon, when the
unfavorable rumors referred to failed
to materialiZe, the market recovered
and prices moved up q to 5% per cent,
the Industrals leading. New England
was exceptionally weak at this time
and dropped to 46, loss Of per cent.
Later the stock rallied to Az. No
new reasons were assigned for THE
break in the stock. The market closed
firmer in tone. Net losses in the gem
eral list ranged from II to * per cent.
The Industrials, however, lost 1alA
per cent. On the other hand, North
west and Louisville and Nashville
gained q, and Tennessee Coal and Iron
2h per cent. Total sales were 479,9S5
shares.
The range of today's prices for the ac-
tive stocks of the New York stock mar
ket are given below. The quotations are

MIR. William Thornton, of 1877 w. Market
Street, Explains How and
Why lIo Did II.
From the Elmira Gazette


Old age has many infirmties, none Of
which are more prevalent than kidney dis
orders. Have you ever noticed how the
old people complain of backache, lame
back, and general llstlessness? And there
are many other symptoms of which they
do not speak, such as bloating of the limbs.
painful and infrequent urinaton or excess
iveness of the urinary discharge. Most
people think they are too old to find relief
and cure, but this Is not so. No better ev-
idence than the following, which comes
from an Elmira citizen, who has been
cured of very severe case at n years of
age. Mr. William Thornton, of 1877 West
Market street, speaks of his case in this
way: II am n years old. have been
afflicted with that dreadful complaint
(kidney disease) for over ten years, maxi
Ing my old age a burden. ] was so bad as
to be forced to carry belt at all times,
and, when my suffering became beyond
endurance, / would put on the belt, draw
Ing It tightly around me and buckle II,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over
the kidneys this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, function which the kidneys
themselves had become too diseased to
perform. My condition l put down to n
strain received. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1 was much surprised. as
the ailment was SO severe and 80 long
standing, while had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever. The pain l
have experienced at times from straining
in my efforts to discharge the urine was
simply awful. 1 have done away with the
use of my leather belt, and the pain has
all gone. and recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to all afflicted with kidney and
urinary disorders" a

Wake o Harp that direful strain,
See'st thou the tears of my soul?
Sublimely breathe that dirge again,
And let the floods of sorrow roll.
Sad is my heart, may days is night,
And Woe and Care corrode my breast;
Death, cruel death, ines fearful blight,
Has laid my friend "Glan Taf," to rest.
Sweet poet, Cambria's gifted son,
No more thy magic Muse
Shall streak athwart Lifes horizon,
And gems of song diffuse.
Pure as yon babbing brooklet, Thou
Did'st glide in prose divine;
And Genius marked, with beauteous glow,
Each tunefu song of thine.

To thee their joys displayed;
And thou their secrets would'st disclose,
In howery robes arrayed.

A Free Dinner.

The other evening a stylish and gen. tlemanly-looking individual stepped in- to one of the leading restaurants in Paris, took his seat at table, and or dered a dinner tres recherche. When it was served up he tackled the dishes with the placid delight of a genuine ep- icure. When he was half way through the dessert, closed cab drew up at the door of the establishment, and a very grave-looking gentleman request ed permission to look through the premises, as he expected to find there a fraudulent banker whom he as a de- tective was instructed to take into GUS tody. Of course his demand was com piled with, and no sooner had he en- tered the dining-room than he pointed to the luxurious reveller and whispered in the landlords ear:
 You see our information was cor rect. There he is. But for your own sake we prefer to avoid a row. Please tell the gentleman that his friend Bar on L. is outside and wishes to speak to him for half a minute"
 On receiving the message our gas tronomist immediately rose from the table and went out on the boulevard, where he was taken possession of by the detective, who put him into the cab and drove off with him. Next day the estaurant-keeper went to the nearest police office to recover payment for the fraudulent bankers' dinner, amount ing to about sixty francs. But neither the commissary nor his subordinates knew anything of the supposed cap ture. In the end it turned out to be nothing more or less than clever bit of comedy got up for the purpose of enabling one of the actors to have Ia good blowout "-Le Figaro.
