The World of Business.
WaIl Street Yesterday.

New York, June 23-with the ship
ment of gold tomorrow the total thus
far this week will be So, 100000, and
while there may be further shipments on
Saturday, it is evident that the recent
representations Of the weeks movement
were ill-founded. The foreign exchange
market was duh aud firm, and some bank
ing houses advanced their posted rates
to conform more closely to the actual
business figures.
Today's stock market was moderately
active and generally firm. The Granger
shares absorbed a large part OF the inter
est in the speculation and st. Paul and
Northwestern sold at the highest figures
for a number Of years. The Industrial
shares were also active, American Tobacco
being put through uncomnonly wide fiuc-
tua tions, presumably in anticipation OF the
announcement Of the dividend, which in
the case OF this company is always mat
ter OF pleasing uncertainty to the share
holders. Sugar refining and Chicago Gas
were rirmer than of late, the former ad
vancing on advices from Chicago that the
granting of franchise to another COM
pany was improbable.
The reopening of the London stock ex-
change after the jubilee holidays did not
result in much increase in the foreign deal
ings in this market, but the early quota
tious showed that the local advance yes
terday had been accepted in that market,
and on balance a small amount of stock
was bought for foreign account. The mar
ket closed slightly below the highest
prices of the day.

THE HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE.
Asked to Change Plans
of Construction.

Arguments were made yesterday before
Secretary Alger for permission to change
the plans of the proposed New York
and New Jersey bridge, over the Hudson
River from Weehawken to New York
city. The bridge company wants to lessen
the length of the main span 400 feet,
because OF the recent decision, which
permits an extension of the pier line.
The bridge company stated that the
permission, if granted, will amount to
a saving of $4,000, 900 to the company,
and will be NO detriment to navigation.
because Of the extension.
At the close of the argument, the
Secretary requested the bridge company
to file their papers for his consideration.
After he has examined them, the Sec
retary viii probably refer the papers to
Attorney General McKenna for opinion,
and then he Will render a decision.
Those who represented the bridge COM
pany were Hon. J. S. Clarkson, presi-
dent; Charles II. Swan, secretary and
treasurer, Col. James McNaught, ex-Gov.
George T. Werts, of New Jersey, and j.
M. Spooklnan, comptroller OF the bridge.

"Cowards die many times before their
death the valiant never taste death but
once"
There is such a thing as too much valor
when the foe is an insidious one. The
bravery that faces death on the battlefield is
praiseworthy; that which courts death by
a reckless disregard of the slow but sure
advances of deadly disease is the acme of
foolishness. Consumption causes one-slxth
of all the deaths in the world. In spite
pf this, thousands are to-day disregarding
Its insidious approach: Any trifing inalady
that results in disorders of the digestive
organs, causing impure blood, emaciation
and lack of vitality, may weaken the respira-
tory organs and make them susceptible to

cry will prevent all that. Moreovcs after
consumption has gained foothold, it will
cure it. 1t is the best blood maker and
blood purifier known to science.

TRIAL OF THE FOOTE.
The Penny-yyise Foolish Action of
the Columbian Iron Works.

The officials Of the Navy Department
were exceedingly indignant yesterday with
the penny-wise and pound-foolish action
Of the Columbian Iron Works, OF Balti-
more, in their management Of the official
trial Of the torpedo boat Foote. The trial
was over measured course Of twenty-four
and one-haH knots, and to the amazement
Of the trial board il was found that after
running over the course in one direction
there was not sufficient coal on board the
ship to make the return run.
On such official trials it is customary
for the contractor to use select coal, and
in the effort to minimize the expense Of
the trial an insufficient supply of fuel was
placed OF board
Heretofore the Navy Department has
been exceedingly liberal toward all the
contractors in permitting them to arrange
all the preliminary details. The fiasco at
tending the performance Of the Foots
viii probably cause the department here
after 10 bc more stringent in demanding
that the prelinlinaries of TT ais shall be
arranged under the direction Of naval
Officers. Less than three weeks ago the
same toat was disabled on one of her uu-
Official trials because there was scarcity
OF lubTicat1ng oils on the craft, and lt was
hoped that the contractors had sufficient
warning from this experience not to at
tempt too rigid economy il, the conduct OF
the trial.
The shipbuilders and contractors have
always maintained that the naval officials
have nothing to DO with the preliminary
arrangements of official trials, but if any
more exasperating delays like that result
ing in the case of the Foote should oo
cur a change of policy is inevitable.

In the local stock market yesterday the
principal topic OF conversation was the
extra dividend paid by the National Bank
OF the Republic. There was the regular
semi-annual ger cent dividend and an
extra OF 30 FER cent, representing TN
divided profits OF 100000. / heard some
slight dissatisfaction expressed at the
payment OF this extra dividend. A large
surplus is fiue thing, and it has I'M
doubtedIy been one of the boasts Of the
stockholders of this bank that their sur
plus was so large; but this payment of
dividends cannot in any possible way
hurt the standing of the bank, as il has an
enormous surplus remaining, sufficient for
all possible needs. The money is there,
and it was profits on the business. It
would seem to be good business judgment
to take ones profits.
