The wheat harvest is over, and
though the yield msy be short, the
quality, we understand, is very good.
This means good flour, and with good
flour we should have good bread.
This, however, does not always ne
cessarily follow. We may have the
very best flour, but with improper
care it may become musty and worn,
or fail 10 rise and become light and
spongy. The best safeguard against
these defects is an Economy Flour
Bin. such as is now being sold in
this county by Mr.. M. +. Brown and
his assistants. With one Of these,
neither moisture or worms can gain
access to your flour, and in winter,
it may be kept where an even tenn
perature can be preserved, so that
your bread will rise readily and be
sweet and palatable. Start in then,
as early as possible after the mar
keting Of the new wheat crop, with
an Economy Flour Bin, and see how
nice it will keep your flour-to say
nothing Of the economy in both flour
and labor, relieving the good house
wife of much worry and care. II
you have not had a visit from one Of
the canyassers, call at the headquar-
tiers of Mr.. Brown, IN the Locke
building, one door west of the Meth
odist parsonage, in Charles Town,
and see an Economy Bin in full
working order. Mr.. Brown will take
pleasure in showing its advantages,
and you will be more than pleased
with the very useful article shown.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York. June 2A-Higher quota.
tions for American securities from Lon

rumors relative to Cuban affairs current
yesterday led to q sharp rise in prices
at the opening OF the stock exchange
here today. In the rise Of i6 at l per
cent, which occurred during the first
half hour Of business sugar and the in
ternational stocks were most prominent.
After the traders had covered their
shorts the market which had been fairly
active drifted into dullness once more.
Sugar then broke from 120 to 1i53s. This
stock led all others In point of activity
and figured fer 10000 shares out Of the
1SS,35S shares dealt In in the entire list
Liquidations in this speciality were on a
heavy scale. A good many stop loss or
ders were reached on the way down.
The recent decline In the price Of refined
and the demoralized condition Of the
market for raws has created quite a
bearish feeling on the stock, but the
traders were not inclined to make any
demonstration until today, when it was
found that'support had been withdrawn

depression. The weakness etended to
General Electric and decline from 31%
to 29k ensued. Tobacco held well for a
time on dividend prospects but later
this stock ran off from to 654 in SYM
pathy. Railway issues after the early

was natural in view Of the heaviness
