STOCKS AND BONDS.

Now York, May 23.-The stock specula-

the opening the railway list was inclined
to advance. The fact that the Changers

sidered proof positive that there Is very
little basis for the Sensational reports
from the west. The feature of the specu-
latlon was the tremendous renlizations
in Distlling. Nearly 100000 shares were
traded In and the price declined from I'm

on arising the patient has a severe cough
ing spell, during which he eXpectoratcs
thick, yellowlsh fluid, which Is followed by
white, frothy substance. As soon as the
eXpectoration becomes frothy the cough
continues with renewed vigor which rap
idly eXhausts the patient. In some eases
the Inflammation may make its way to The
stomach producing catarrhal dyspepsia.
In this form of catarrh the patient belches
large quantities OF gas or he may suffer
from pain at the pit of the stomach,
which extends to the back and shoulder
blades. There is pain and distress in the
region Of the heart. Catarrh frequently
attacks the mucous lining of the bladder,
producing desire to urinate with great
pain and strain, In fact, every mucous
membrane of the body is subject to ca
tarrhal inflammation
