stocks in this category were especially
noteworthy. Sugar, as usual recently,
led the market in all respects and
figured for over one-half of the aggre-
gate dealings. 1t displayed aggressive
strength the greater part of the day
and more particularly at the close
when the price rose to 1161s on heavy
transactions. Although the movement
of the stock is VIGOROUSLY Independent
of trade conditions, as a rule, to-day
great stress was laid upon a pro-
nounced rally in the prices of foreign
and domestic sugars from the depres-
sion recently caused by the collapse
of the over extended speculation in
the production i'm Europe. An early
advance of 1ts per cent provoked an
outpouring of realizing orders which
resulted i'm a reaction of IA per cent
to 1875. At the low point inside sup
port was apparent and this stimulus,
together with a brisk inquiry from the
shorts influenced a gradual upward
movement to the high point noted, al
though the advance was checked at
times by a renewed profit taking.
The general market opened a shade
higher all around and was helped by
improvement in the London market

ness in the Industrials soon checked
the rising tendency and concessions
occurred which carried prices a shade
below yesterdays closing figures. In

Railway bonds were irregular, with
an easier tendency in the speculative
issues. The losses noted were mainly

HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTER.
New York, June 26.-(Special) I'm
der the demand from Lancashire, the
Liverpool market recovered nearly the
entire decline of yesterday, closing
steady at the advance, with the result
of gradually advancing our market. 1t
is noticeable that the buying appears
to be principally for Northern account,
and based upon the credence placed in
the official crop report from Texas, re-
ceived by mail today, and the rapid
reduction of Liverpool stock, which
promises upon the first of September
smaller than either OF the celebrated
short crop years. The action OF the Fall
River spinners in threatening to close
down every alternate week was with
out effect, as it is believed that they are
without supplies of raw material, and
adopt the method of working off their
stock of manufactured goods at a time
when their stocks of cotton are prac-
tioalIy exhausted No rain has fallen
in Texas during the last twenty-four
hours, and if the crop is in the condi-
ton described i'm the Texas weekly re-
port it is worse than anyone has believ-
ed. 1t lis evidently not as early as an
ticipased, as we have yet to hear from
the first bale, which in 1894 was re-
ported July 4. The market slowly adj
vanced to the close of business, which
was at the best prices of the day. This
handling shrdlu yggdaa aAnsl cmfwyp
hardening tendency was the feature of
the trade, since the official reports fail
ed to show good rains in Texas.

scenes Of the battlefield, where
wounded and dying men lay for days

suggest the formation of societies for
supplying medical aid in time Of war;
societies which should be strictly neu-

CeiVe q guarantee Of immunity and
protection from all civilized govern

The suggestion bore fruit with sur
prising rspidity. In 1864 representa-
tiVes Of sixteen nations met at Geneva
and signed the Well-known agreement
that bears that city's name. The
United States where Miss Clara Bar.
ton was the great leader of the move
ment-were not among the original
signers, but they joined by act Of Con-
gress during President Arthur's ad-
ministrstion; and 1t was from America
that the idea was introduced into
Japan, where national Red Cross as
SOcistion was formed eight years ago.
Last September the Miksdo, who Is

by the Japanese forces. The news

: For Identification.

A new law has been passed In Hawaii
which compels every man who Is reg.
istered to leave his thumb mark on the
certificate Of registration and on the
stub which is left in the book. That
is, he must ink his thumb and leave q
clear, distinct impression Of 1t for fu-
ture recognition. This applies to al
classes Of people on the island. The
objection which many of the residents
make is that it treats them all as
though they were ConVicts. The truth
ia that 1t is the only positive means Of
Identification. 1t is claimed that the
lines on the thumb of no two people
are exactly alike, while it is not inFe-
quent to find people whose resem-
blsnces are so close as to make
Identification difficult. The Asiatics
are invading the island Of Hawaii to
such an extent as to arouse the people
settled there to some plan to prevent
the overcrowding of the island, aud

Character In walking.

Quick steps are indicative Of energy
and agitation.
Tip.toe walking sYmbolizes SURPRISE
curiosity, discretion or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING and noiseless, with short, ner-
vous, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the case may be.
Where a revengeful purpose is hidden
under feigned smile the step will be
Sinking and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and measured;
the toes are conspiculously turned out,
the legs Strengthened.
The direction Of the steps wsvering
and following every changing impulse of
the mind inevitably betrays uncertainty,
hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people, who in argument
rely more on musoulRrity than on intel
lectual power, rest the feet fatty and
firmly on the ground, walk heavily and
slowly, and stand with the legs firmly
planted and far apart.-HOme Queen,
