YgsrERDAY.s MARKETS.


 Concerning the wheat market yester- day Cuthbert & Go. say: Wheat show ed a slightly easier tendency to-day on realizing sales, influenced by less fa- vorable foreign news and the Liverpool markets failing to respond as much as had been expected to our improvement of yesterday Prices opened A to s lower, and slumped off 1s to 9s addi- tional, There was heavy foreign sell ing. Later in the day. however, prices rallied and closed firm.
 In stocks hullish factors prevailed, and led to active buying for both long and short accounts, The favorable ac- tion at the meeting of the board of con- trol of the Joint Traffic association helped things, as also did the announce ment of the consummation of the deal whereby DreXel & Co. of Philadelphia and J. P. Morgan X Go. of New York purchase $5,000,000 new mortgage and collateral trust bonds of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, to take up the company's floating debt and provide new working capital. Bear raids on weakly held specialties ceased, and the market broadened under good buying of the coalers, Vanderbilt and granger shares.

oArARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual
 Cure for IL,

Gure TOT II,
 Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are full or bloat- ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headaches, ficlSle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition.
 The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble Is found in treatment which causes the food to be readily thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disap- peared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic and Pepsin, little Nux, Col den Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medi- cine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J. Booher of PHO Dearborn street, Chicago, III, writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes infamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus pro- duoing catarrh of the stomach. Medi- cal authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day I am the hap piest of men after using only one box of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. I can- not find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use" Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the sim | plest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of | stomach, bilousness, sour stomach, | heartburn and bloating after meals | Send for little book, mailed free on /, stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich The tablets can | be found at all drug stores.

TO DISPLAY SIGNALS.

Mrs Elizur Thompson Appointed to
 Display Signals at the Old Light
 house.
 Mrs Thompson, widow Of the late Captain Elizur Thompson has just been notified of her appointment to carry on her late husbands work at the old lighthouse For some time the weather bureau has hoisted the wealth CT signals at the old lighthouse. This has been great boon to the sailors, since it has warned them of impending storms and furnished them the oppor- tunity to come within the shelter of the harbor
 During Captain Thompson's illness the work was faithfully carried on by his wife, and now she has been perma- nently appointed to the position. As the station at Lighthouse Point is a branch of the New Haven office, the weather reports when received in the Insurance building are telephoned to Mrs. Thompson, who hoists the signals. The task is anything but an easy one for a woman, especially in stormy weather

---------------------------------- W4LLING FORD EVENTS,

The railroad commissioners will be at the depot here at 11:30 o'clock this morning and will meet the town and borough officials with regard to doing away with the three grade crossings below Ward street.
 Complaint has been made to the war den about the bicyclists riding on the sidewalks in various portions of the borough, and yesterday under the su- pervision of the borough's chief exec utive, eighteen notices of the section of the borough bylaws relating to the riding on sidewalks were posted in va rious parts of the borough and due no tice of the same filed with the clerk.
 The alarm sounded by the factory gongs about 4:45 yesterday was caused by a fire on Bartholomew row. An old unused barn. the property of the Wal lingford Wheel company, was burned to the ground. The loss was small, and there was no insurance. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incen- diary.
 The water meter which has been on the water main on the east side for eight weeks, has been taken out. Dur ing that time S5,360, 925 gallons of water has passed through the meter, which, taking the population of the borough at 1000 persons, makes an average of ninety gallons per capita per day.
 A door has been cut through from the borough office to the hallway in the town hall building which will prove a great convenience.

Stock Market Ruled Generally Dull and
 Apathetic Yesterday.


 Apathetic Yesterday.
 New York, April 13.-The stock mar ket to-day showed dullness and apathy through the early hours of trading, though there were indications of firm ness in the general list. This was the more noticeable in face of the extra heavy liquidation in Reading. This had it's effect ultimately in spreading depression to other properties, the rail- ways, however, generally holding firm.
 In the.final hour a brisk buying move ment, which had been gathering force since about midday turned the course of the whole market strongly upward to the top level of the day above last nights close. The center of interest in the market all day was Reading, the sale of trust receipts aggregating 44,000 and all the securities of the company being actively dealt in at declines.
 The enormous liquidation in Reading was attributed to the sale of stock ac- quired by the underwriting syndicate on account of non-payments of assess ments, which were unloaded in large blocks. 1000 share lots appearing quite frequently in the transactions. In spite of these heavy offerings, the de- cline ceased with loss of IS and a rally set in in the stock. The support accorded the stock was credited to a leading interest in anthracite coal. Un- der this buying the price rose points
