New York, April 3D.. (Special) The

a different plan than Of late, the weak
ness in the immediaH deliveries degel-
oping in Liverpool, while the imme-
diate positions here maintain their

market, and short in her own the clos

markets is profitable result for the
arbitrary brokers. Both foreign oper-
ators and our local traders are looking
forward 10 some attempt TO advance
prices before the new crop comes TO
market and are therefore buyers on
every weak market, and will not anti
cipate decline for the old crop. The
situation is so apparent that most
merchants have withdrawn from the
market pending for the Development
Of trade and crop. Our market closed

idea that the market has passed into
stronger be ids and that chances are in
favor OF a further improvement.

Those Foreign Markets.

The restoration of tonnage duties
upon German vessels by President
Cleveland recalls the very great
amount of talk made four years ago
about opening up the foreign markets.
To hear it one for the moment was led
to think these foreign markets to be
the national desideratum and essential
to all prosperity in this country. Our
home market was not to enter into the
considerations The bones shadow that
fell athwart the Atlantic ocean demon
stanted to these theorists that the bone
and the meat were located on the other
side of the puddle. After we became
enmeshed in the snare the delusion
commenced to haunt us and it was a
shade that positively refused to be laid
or disposed CT to our own advantage.
OF course the sugar trust legislation
by which a dfferential duty on the
bounty paid German beet sugar be-
came a feature of the Wilson bill is
held responsible for all our troubles
with Germany over the introduction
since that time ef American products.
This may have set the ball rolling but
bumptiously ruled nation have prob
ably had something to do with it, But
however brought about the vision of
foreign markets in Germany being
opened up to American commerce has
been ruthlessly dispelled and by some
of the most arrogant and offensive
measures that could have been sug-
gested. Not only have the alleged ex-
perts in that country assumed to find
trichinae in cooked meat. where it
could not possibly exist. but there has
been no effort spared to drive Ameri-
can products from the country. We
fail to see how, in view of all this, the
President could have we'll done less
than he has. although his decision will
only intensity the feeling of hostility
which the ruling power of Germany
evidently has toward this country
Just what form this dislike will now
take is something about which there
can only be conjecture. When the sec
retary of Germany's navy informs the
Reichstag that when the sailors had
their Emperor before their eyes they
anticipation can be had Of the acts of
such an irresponsible. .deified sovereign?

coffee So well and seemed to really

for the doctor to order her to diScon

effects. but the same poisonous aka
loids exist in coffee as are found in to-
bacco, whiskey. strychnine and NOR
phine. There is not so great proper
tion of them in coffee as in the other
drugs, but sufficient amount exists to
seriously injure anyone whose cCrSti-
tuition is little below par. All of
these drugs can be used for time by
perfectly healthy people, but if their
use is persisted in long enough, the
human body finally gives evidence of
the effect of the steady poison, and
die because of their unnatural habits.
