You'll Take No Gas, Merely Look at
Nothing and Lie Still.
The day of painless dentistry seems
at hand. Hypnotism, which has re-
placed anaesthetics to more or less
degree in surgery, has now been called
into use as valuable adjunct to dem
tist,y. While in it's infancy in this
new sphere Of usefulness, it has found
strong advocates, and its general adop-
ton would appear only a question Of
time Like all radical movements, it
has met with opposition, but not in the
degree that might popularity be expect
ed. That is, speaking from the stand
point of the dentist.
DR.. Thomas Fillebrown, of Boston,
Mass, an authority on dental science,
says: II prophesy that in few years
every man who practices dentistry sci
entifcally will have his practice con-
trolled by the principle o Hypnotic sug-
superable objection to the success Of
hypnotism in dental operations that the
constant cutting in the most sensitive
portion of our anatomy, the dentine,
would rouse the patient, no matter how
thoroughly hpynotized."
This, it seems, is not the case when
DR.. Fillebrown's method is pursued
He counteracts the pain by constant
suggestion that there is no suffering.
DR.. Fillebrown does not consider passes
necessary to induce hypnosis. He says:
II, myself, use my eyes more for fixed
point for the patients gaze. Laying my
hand on the forehead and over the eyes
to close them and exclude the light is
very successful with nae. and much

MONEY IN RANK

NEW. YORK. July 1s-The Financier
says this week:
The statement of the clearing house
banks of New York city for the week end
ing July IS shows an expansion in loans
which Is distinctively favorable feature,
but since the s2,0O0,00O withdrawn for ex
port Friday are not included in the totals
banks is not shown at the close of business
Saturday. The fall in domestic exchange
rates which has been prominent feature
of the week at nearly every interior point
of Importance is a certain indication that
the heavy flow of money to this point is
at an end and an opposite movement is to
be expected. especially toward the south
and west. The banks gained something
like 81, 100000 from the interior movement
the exchange at a heavy discount. it is
not likely this addition to excess cash will
be continued. On the other hand, prepa-
rations for the fall session are under way,
and this should create demand for money
for mercantile sources. The loans of the
New York banks. while now at the highest
point of the year, are still $27 900 less
noted that the increase last year did not
culminate until late In September, when
an additional increase of $4,000 900 was
made. If this year repeats the experience
of last season the firnness of the money
market would seem assured. Since the
talk of another bond issue is popular ii
might be we'll to call attention to the fact
that of the millions that have been taken
from the treasury since February g. little
II any. of the amount has found it's way in
New York banks. their total specie hold
ings al present being only $4,000, 900 more
than the low point reached after their
payments for bonds had been completed.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Wheat for minute

yesterdays closing prices, but people who
had long corn were all in that market

initiating that example. Floods in Kansas

prospects for great yield. The price had

WALL STREET SPECULATION
Why the Treasury Is Coming Silver
Dollars
english and American Productions OF Bessemer
and Open Hearth Steel for Long
Series OF Years

The decision of Secretary Carlisle to
coin about three million silver dollars per
month during the remainder of the present
year Is not due to any tenderness towards
the silver men. but to the narrow margin
of coin available under the Sherman law
for the redemption of treasury notes. These
notes are retired and Cancelled when re-
deemed in silver dollars and the dollars are
released for general circulation. The
amount in the treasury for redemption pur-
poses is $f1 ,217, 5S2 The amount thus held
on January I'd was $13, 769, Cos. SO that the
coinage during the past six months to the
amount of 81, 800, 900 has not kept pace with
the redemptions. The amount of silver
dollars held in the treasury under the
Sherman law at the beginning Of the pres
ent administration was about $26.000 900,
and it is the purpose of Secretary Carlisle
to restore this reserve to about that
amount. 1t is doubtful whether this can be
accomplished, even with coinage at the
rate of 81, 600, 900 per month. Redemption OF
Sherman notes in silver are heavy during
the summer and autumn, because of the
demand for silver dollars to pay the cot
ton hands in the south. The entire re-
demptions since August. 1898, have been
about SIT, ,00O0 900, of which $4,000. 900 was dur
ing the nrst year, $4,000. 900 during the sec
ond year and the remainder during the ten
months just closed. A like demand for
redemption during the coming autumn
will absorb the bulk of the new coinage
and leave the reserve of standard dollars
not much larger than at present. The
mints cannot get to work on the coinage
In any case until the middle of July as the
first half of the month Is taken for the ac
counting of stock and other preparations
for the beginning of the new fiscal year.
The outstanding Sherman notes have now
been reduced to 1929 5S3, $50 and the pressure
upon the gold reserve has been in one sense
reduced by the redemption of $26. 0O0, 900 in
silver dollars.-Phlladelphia Prices Cur

The figures of the British Iron Trade as
sociauon for the production of steel in
1895 are just at hand. They possess much
interest because they reflect better than
any other data-better even than pig iron
produetion-the position of the English
Iron trade as contrasted with that Of our
own country. For a number of years
the output of Bessemer steel in England
has been practically stationary. so that no
progress has been made. We compare be-
low the record of the past ten years of the
English and American Bessemer plants.

Business Transacted and Prices Paid at HONS
and Abroad


NEW YORK, July 1S.-The stock mar
ket today was a purely professional affair.
The tone was weak and feverish, and after
momentary spurts at the opening and at
the end of the first hour prices steadily
receded to the close. London was not
factor to any appreciable extent, and the
feeble rallies were entirely due to cover
ing by the shorts. The volume of business
was moderate, with Sugar and st. Paul
leading in point of activity. The market
left off weak at lowest prices showing net
declines of AG1 per cent. The drift of the
market for the week was toward a lower
level. and at intervals the speculative
tension was extreme. The influence bear
Ing upon prices included apprehension Of
the fullest possible extent by the BEARS
not only upon the Vanderbilt group, but
on the general market break in the
government bond market. an advancing
tendency In the foreign exchange market
and the exports of gold aggregating $3.341.-

out of the extreme depression in the prices
of farm products, the dullness of general
business and wholesale cutting of rates in
nately buyer and seller during the week,
but on the whole exhibited less apprehen-
sion over the situation than the local in
vestors and speculat0rs. The gold ex-
ports in reality fell several million dollars
short of the bear estimates but the con-
tinued strength of the exchange market

firm. An extreme decline of 1a4 per cent
in the new government fours coupon ex-
erted a decidedly unsettling influence, but
heavy. investment buying of the bonds
both in and outside of the exchange fol-
lowed and was attended by unsubstan-
% ernment bond issue. sue This last eM report port
served temporarily to rally the market.
The bonds left off at 1l3, as compared with
116 a week ago. Then declines in prices
covering the entire market, ranging from

reached on Thursday forenoon. The ag;;
gregate sales were 40, 700 shares. Railroad
