to-day, The undertone was strong, however, and higher prices were re- corded in a number of instances. Lon don was buyer of its specialties, and bankers with foreign connections said that interest in American securities abroad was reviving. The main reason for this, so bankers said, was the high prices at which British consols are sell ing, these securities having bought l09Ss in London to-day. The declaration of the regular dividend by the Burlington and Quincy, the favorable traffic re- turns of the Baltimore and Ohio, Louis vllle and Nashville and Southern Rail- way, all had a good effect on the mar llet.
 A feature of the day was the heavy buying of the new fours, up to 1l73s, $l, ,633000 changing hands at the board. The award of nearly five millions more bonds to Morgan was well received, as 1t means an additional net gain in gold for the treasury.

St. Paul rose to TITS, Burlington and Quincy to S0Ts, Rock Island to 7S1s, Louisville and Nashville to 51%, Man haitian to 105ts, and Union Pacific to 71z.

DEAD WEIGHT.
THE OLD MIN oF THE SEA- 4 FACT,
 NOT 4 FICTION.

How He Has Fastened Himself Upon
 Thousands of People-The Only Way
 to Successfully Get Rid of Him.
 The we'll known story In the Arabian Nights of the Old Man of the Sea who fastened himself on Sinbad and was constantly with him, is one of the few fairy fictions that can be applied to every day life, What resembles this terrible Old Man more than these most painful of old maladies, rheumatism and neuralgia?
 There is listlessness, depression of spirits, general debility, disturbed sleep, indigestion, and more or less trouble with the bowels. Then come sudden twinges of pain in different parts of the body, and finally rheumatism or neuralgia of a severe form sets in. The real trouble is in the blood and nerves. Therefore, in order to rid yourself of this Old Man of the Sea who is making your life a burden, you must get your nerves and blood in good condition. How this can be done is shown by the following letter from Mir c. L. Kelly, of Bangor Me:
