A GOOD PRACTICE.
II You Want n Good Appetite and
Perfect Digestion.

After each meal dissolve one or two
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in the
mouth, and mingling with the food, they
constitute a perfect digestive. absolutely
safe for the most sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
to ferment, thus preventing the forma-
ton Of gas and keeping the blood pure
and free from the poisonous products Of
fermented, half-dgested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets IS the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
Of stomach troubles, and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy. The successful
physician Of to-day is the specialist, the
successful medicine is the medicine pre-
pared especially for one disease.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt you. but would simply be
a waste OF good material.
over 5000 men and women in the State
Of Michigan alone have been cured OF
Indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

REPORTS FROM ALL GREAT BUsI'
NESS CENTRES OF THE WORLD.
Prices OF Money, Bonds, Stocks,
Grain, Tobacco, Cotton, Cattle,
Country Produce, &C., Foreign
and Domestic.

NEW YORK, March 25.-There was a
material falling off in the volume Of
business at the Stock Exchange to-day.
the sales Of stocks amounting to 236,-
500 shares, against 900 shares yester-
day. Speculation throughout was fever
ish and unsettled, and the tendency Of
prices was downward. Professional
operators were generally arrayed on the
short side Of the account, but here and
there evidences were plain of covering
by important interests. One broker, sup
posed to be connected with Keene in
terests. bought 5000 shares of Sugar and
1000 shares Of Jersey Central. These
purchases, however. had little influence
on the general market
London also turned up as a liberal
buyer of ST. Paul and other stocks,
taking fully 5000 shares of the former.
Local traders ignored these develop
ments, and at each advance put out
moderate lines. The decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the case
Of the Trans Missouri Freight Associa-
ton Is still the main bear argument,
and operators for lower prices seemed
to be quite confident that in the end
the courts ruling would result in
general Generalization of railway rates.
A rumor from Washington that bill
permitting pooling by the roads would
shortly be introduced received little
credit in usually well-informed quarters,
in view Of the fate of the Patterson
measure.
The pressure to sell was most pro-
nounced in the Changers, Reading. and
Northern Pacific. These issues dropped
anywhere from a half to 2 per cent,
Burlington and quincy, Reading, first
preferred. Northwest Rock Island, and
st. Paul scoring the heaviest losses.
In the Industrials, Sugar advanced to
1lS 3-S. and the stock commanded a
small premium for use. This alarmed
the bears, but after the smaller shorts
had covered the price dropped back to

ordered to be paid. The Clerk also re-
ported with reference to the arrangement

was called to meet at 7 o'clock for the
purpose of assessing damages done Ger
tain residents of Fourth street by the

at O'Clock.

city stables from January 18th to March
10TH In his letter DR.. Oppenhimer as
