advance until the close of the market
hut some prominent shares sold off to
Yesterdays close, or below it, before the
conclusion of the days trading. Very
marked strength ives developed in some
conspicuous cases, due to special causes,
and this was a sustaining factor IN the
market. But powerful professional trad
ers are operating in the conviction that
a general reaction is due or overdue IN
the market and they are watchful TO
take profits or to join the short side'
London buying and good crop reports
were against this element today, as was
the general outlook for business and the
aggressive strength of special stocks.

third bottle will complete his cure. Every
one has spoken Of the maIkHl change for

fully, Mrs. Mallie Floyd Otey.
This Is one Of some Is or 20 letters from
United States congressman or members

LOCKE AND THE DAUNTLESS
Are Clearly Shown to Have no Quarrel
With Each Other

Jacksonville, Fla. April 16.-The case
against the steamer Dauntless. charged
with violating the neutrality laws by
taking a filibustering expedition 10 Cuba
from No Name Key, on the southern
coast of Florida. Janutry !. 1897, came
up for trial in the United States courc
today. After the government had sub
United its testimony, the case was
promptly dismissed. No testimony was
offered by the defense and argument was
not made by counsel.
Judge Locke stated that no evidence
had been submitted TO show that the
Dauntless had been fitted out for the
purpose charged. which fact was showne
by her return 10 Jacksonville within a
few days of the date charged in the libel.
The district attorney reserved the right
20 appeal, upon consultation with the at
torney general.
