The World Of Business.
Wall street Yesterday.

New York, April 23-Today stock mar
ket was inactive to degree, approaching
stagnation. Fluctuations were irregular
and as a rule exceedingly narrow. As on
many occasions of late they reflected the
yagares of board loom uaderS. There
was no evidence that professional operators
above that grade took any active interest
in the almost lifeless speculation. The
room traders professed to be influenced
In their small operations by the news
from the Levant which, as d matter or
fact, was too conflicting to permit OF the
forming of an intelligent opinion as to the
events of the day or the status of The
,nnosinc forces This Inattered little,
however TO those bent on scalnng frac-
tions Indeed rumors that were started with
il, the walls of the exchange answered th cir
nurnose quite as well as actual news. Lon
don contributed nothing of value to the
sjtuation, business there being restricted
Hebrew holiday and by the beg inninSo of
the fortuightlv settlement in mining shares.
In no stock reducing half stock to full
shares. did the transactions foot up 10000
shares.
Those that received the most attention
,ver. United States Leather preferred, Chi
o.. =
pam. American Spirits, and Tobacco. The
last two were exceptionally heavy. The
street continues to attach undueimportance
IN rhe abselca of quorum at the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Ameri-
can Spirits Company. AS already noted
| the failure t. secure quorum may nave
been ,lue entirely to the apathy of the
! stockholders. If it was Intentional, IL rs
| ouita as reason able to assume that the
| ,arper interests in the company did not
care to give an opportunity at this time
| for mischievous inquiries regarding the
| cuuduct of the business, as II is to assume
! that there was desire TO withhold an
annual statement that woulu douDthss re-
fleet tho unsatisfactory condition Of the
i,uustry during the last fiscal year The
majority of the list closed slightly higher
ar unchanged, as compared with yesterday
and theTonly noteworthy net declines were
o, the few stocks that receive attention.

sg.TISG HOTELS HIS FORTE.
G.. n. Mounce Badly Wanted by the
washington Police.

G. R Mounce, who claims to be n drummer,
and who makes practice of stopping
at flrst-class hotels and living In regai
stvle without paying any board, is badly
wanted by the Washington police and the
authorities of several Southern clues
Mounce's game is an old one and he failed
to swindle the local hostelries TO any great
extent
The man appeared here several days
ago and registered at well-knoWn Avenue
hotel. He rendered the clerk baggage
check and asked that his trunk be sent
uu from the station at once. Investigation
developed the fact that the trunk was u
myth and the hotel people ousted the
gentleman in short order. The police
say the man has left long record or
similar transactions in the South, where
he succeeded in buncoing number or
hotels out of considerable sums. Mounce
has disappeared and the local authorities
would like very much to ascertain his
whereabouts.

Chicago, April 20. To-day the foreign
markets were all easier, as expected, but
the bullish considerations of today origi-
mated hearer home. The early advance on
which May wheat sold up l cent from the
closing price of Thursday was as much
as anything else ON what is supposed TO be
a Kansas State report, making the condi-
ton of wheat in that State so. 1t is de-
MED that any State report on winter
wheat in Kansas has been issued, and, be-
sides, the condition is exactly that given
by the government of Kansas two weeks
ago.
The market opened at fair advance
over the previous close, halted little

The arms are all attached to the same body.
Impure blood reaches out in all directions
over the human body. 1t stretches out
tentacle and grasps one organ or another:
It attacks the liver and the sufferer is said
to have liver complaint" 1t attacks the
lungs, and he is said to have consumption.
1t reaches his kidneys, and the doctors say
he has kidney disease and treat his kidneys.
These so-called diseases are only symptoms:
They all reach back to the same cause, and
that cause is impure blood. And impure
blood is usually caused by imperfect diges-
ton. The way to kill devil fish is to at
tack its head and body. It might be killed by
cutting off its arms, but itwould take long
time. While one was being cut off, others
would fasten themselves on the victim.
The way to cure disease is to cure the
cause of the disease-to go right at the
head of the matter. There is no use treat
ing symptoms. Disease cannot exist IN
heaithfill strength giving properties. IT
can be made pure by the use Of Dr. Pierce's
great medicine, the Golden Medical
Discovery" 1t is because of its wonderful,
blood purifying and invigoratfng qualities
that this remedy is so marvellous IN Its ef-
feet on diseases of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs. 1t cures ninety-eight per
cent. of all cases of consumption. IL stops
| lingering chronic coughs, and builds up
| those who are I" n-down,' emaciated or
debilitated from any cause 1t makes sound,
| firm, healthy flesh. 1t makes people strong.
It invigorates the blood, and stimulates the
action of every organ in the body. The
| three things that it does are the three things
that must be done in every case before
health can come. 1t steadies and strength
ems the nerves makes digestion perfect
makes the blood pure and rich. There is
nothing in the world just like it. There is
nothing in the world that is just as good, y
though dishonest druggists will sometimes
tell you so, for the sake of the profit they
| will make on inferior articles.

The opinion that Union Pacific has

srKINLEY's INAUGURAL.
Too Much Tariff and Not Enough
Money the Frequent Criticism.

President McKinley's inaugural address
was read by a good many savannahlans
yesterday. Some of them are those who
are in the habit of reading such addresses
as matters of information. while there are
others who read 1t largely out of curios-
ity.
Various opinions have been expressed
with regard to il, but in general those
who keep the run Of current affairs say it
was just about such an address as was ex-
pected from the new President There did
not seem to be anything in it that could
exactly be called original, but in a general
way it outlined the policy of the new adj
ministration.
1T was a very good address, and quite
a patriotic one, considered from his stand
point" said a well-known business man,
though in my opinion he might have said
just little bit less about the tariff and
more about the money question, putting IL
in a stronger and clearer light. However
IL is just about such an address as l ex-
pected Mckinley to make"
This may be taken as an average opin-
ion among business men of the new Pres
dents inaugural remarks. Another gen
tleman, speaking of the address, said:
II guess the references to the Cuban
question will hardly satisfy the people,
especially those who are warm in Cuba's
interests. He does not appear to differ
with President Cleveland in single i'm
portant particular on that subject, and It
looks very much as If ne and Cleveland
had had some understanding on that sub
ject beforehand"
No doubt the opinion Of the average Sa-
MAMMALIAN will be that there was just a
little too much tariff In 1t, unless il is
rice, lumber and sea island cotton that
are involved, and that there was not quite
enough about the money question. How
ever, there are none who have any fault
to find. considering that the speech was
from so famous a republican protection
ict
