The World of Business.
wall street Yesterday.

New York, Aug. 1 3. Sales Of stock to-
day aggregated 531 ,0so shares and OF
bonds S2,S6e ,Ooo.
Reactions today may or may not have
been sympathetic, but the grain and stock
markets Were syuchronus. The decline in
wheat was the days sole development
furthermore, to which the tendency OF tile
stock market could be definitely referred.
although Ia their search for props To
their contention as to the iinminence OF a
reaction the room traders advanced the
whimsical notion that the falling of a
Friday on tie 9Th Of the month was of
itself an omen of evil. Such an argument
is evidence OF the paucity of their claims.
y any rate the room traders were more
agEreSSivein their attacks upon the market
than they have been for many days, and
also more successful. The decline In wheat
was ascrised to falling off in the EXPORT
demand fer tl:at cereal, ana foreign houses
We're reported free sellers. This is not un
natural in view OF the rapid advance in
that market, but the withdra wal OF foreign
orders need not he regarded al aught but
temporary, since the latest estimate Of the
European requirements for tie season by
a conservative London trade journal places
the total at 1872 oo0 90 bushels.
The day was without the encouraging
influences derived from th- reports Of in.
creasing traffic by the railways such as
were comprised in the news of Wednesday
and Thursday.
In the dealings up to the noon hour the
marker Was again active, but there was
subsequently a marked contraction in the
volume of business Foreign houses had
laIge orders here on both sides of the
account. Indeed, foreign houses reported
the execution during tn. past few days OF
several large buying orders for the ac-
oonnt of their European correspondents and
change in the long maintained dispuSi-
ton of tie foreign dealings here seems to
be impending.
The market was more featureless than
for some time, th5 list moving pretty mucf,
in unison throughout. Activity was great
est in the granger shares; Union Pacific.
Northern Pacific, and in q number of the
so-called specialties, which have recently
attracted attention. An appreciaOle in
fluence in the market was the return by
large lender Of money of the stocks
which he had been carrying for the ac-
count of Il number of traders, whose bank
balances did not permit OF their filling
the requirements as To margins eXacted by
banks and trust Companies. This doubtless
necessiLated the sale of considerable
amount of stock, and the market must
be regarded as in a safer position by
reason of this liquidation
The market closed rather heavy, bat
final prices in few instances show
losses CT more than one point.

WGen Dr. Mccoy offered the So rate 10
new patients as well as TO old, he did not
limit it TO one month, but made it for the
whole surmer, ending it only with the
first OF September.
This is the longest period during which
special offer has ever been
kept standing, during which spe-
cial opportunity has ever been given.
Doctor McCoydoes not regret that he made
this offer; be does not regret that he made
the offer cover so many weeks, although
both himself and his associates have found
no hour of leisure during that time. He
feels that much coed has been done. He
feels that many have been enabled to be
cured, Who would have otherwise remained
hopeless invahds, and he feels that all have
had abundant opportunity TO receive the
benefits OF his treatment at a fee so small
that there has been no burden.
Doctors Mccoy and Cowden wish that
there may be no misunderstanding they

everybody that this rate cannot be con-

that the department. as 1t now stands is
capable OF giving Washington ali in the
way OF police service that could be desired,
considering that the force is not so large as
il should be
Il have adopted the policy, which seems
90 me l" be the best, OF allowing each
head of a department to have full control
ct the men and territory under him, and
then holding him personally responsible
Tor results If any trouble arises, the one
in charge will he expected TO find and
discipline the proper persons, and IL this
is not done, then the head Will have To
answer. Thus, / intend that each lieu
tenant shall have full charge of the de-
failing and the hours Of his men, and all
that 1 shall require of him is that he
keep his precinct properly protected against
lawiessness and disorder. Unless there
are Some fragrant derelctions OF duty,

HOW MR.. ARMSTRONG'S
HEARING WAS RESTORED

Charles Armstrong. 1887 IL 11th
Tt. NV: Ny right ear WAS stone deaf.
With 1t I could not hear one sound, never
mind how loud. My left ear was also q;lite
deaf. After being under treatment some
time, my hearing returned 10 me suddenly.
Last Sunday heard with my right ear
the ear that had been stone deaf-the tick
Ing OF my watch, and that ear is now more
acute than the left.
My deafness was a constant source OF
annoyance TO me. ] was always asking
people 10 repeat, and then, to add To my
discomfort, there was a rumbling noise in
my head that at times almost drove ne
wild.
The unnatural noise in my head has
been stopped, and l hear again distinctly"

Recreation at Chapel Point.

That Chapel Point day is a merry one
has become fixed fact with any number
OF folks. This is plainly shown by the
boat loads of guests that take advantage
of each trip made by the River Queen.
But there's nothing surprising about the
popularity of the place. There is every
thing there that can be found at any of
the other resorts, and q good many at
fractions that others do not boast OF.
The sail alone is enjoyable enough to
crowd the boat. The Point Is fifty-five
miles from town, and the run is made
in about four hours. A cool delightful
trip, where the scenery is pleasing to the
eye, and the breeZes comforting. Once on
the ground and the sport has only begun.
No finer fishing and grabbing could be
wished for than is found at Chapel Point
and the facilities for salt water bathing
offered by the excellent beach tends to
keep the water fairly alive with bathers
during the four hours the Queen lies at the
wharf. Dinners may either be mad in the
Care on the steamer or at the hotel. Ex-
cellent service at either place. The home
trip at night is especially pleasureable.
1t stamps itself as a most enjoyable closing
to happy day. That is the undivided
opinion of the guests who are loath to leave
the steamer which has afforded them SO
pleasant an outing. These trips will be
made each Tuesday, Thursday and Sun
day throughout the season, leaving the city
at $3.50 q. m. 1t
