MARKET REPORTS,
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Dec. 13-The days mar
ket for securities had every appear
ance of breadth and depth. the buying
being vigorous and aggressive and well
distributed The fact was not to De
ignored, however, that the stocks of
Southern and Southwestern roads,
which were the favorites with the
bulls, last week, did not share in the
advance proportionately. The jump in
Sugar to las a in the course of the
first hour stimulated the whole mar
ket. The stock was supported, how
ever, at a certain stage of early de-
cline and closed at a net advance of
over a point.
The government report with it's re-
Vised estimate of wheat crop of $780,
100000 bushels caused a lively out
break of speculation in the Changers
the high running price for wheat with
this heavy yield to draw on being re-
sarded as insuring prosperity to the
wheat carrying roads. Still another
element of strength in the days mar
ket was the jump in price of Metropol-
itan Street Railway. this stock rising
nearly points to 125. in strong con
Manhattan, which dropped at one time
nearly 2 points. Manhattan fully re-
covered before the close and shows q
small fractional net gain. Union Pa
cific showed a sharp recovery from it's
recent depression on the strength of in
spired reports that the reorganization
could be carried through with a moder-
ate rate of deposited bonds indebted
ness and preferred stock and that the
subsidized portion of the Union Pa
cifc was not deemed essential to the
success of the plan. There was some
heaVineSs in local gas securities. The
days buying was in large part profess
sional. and commission house buying
was on small scale. London was,
however. quite liberal buyer Of
stocks in this market.
A feature of the day was the stiffen-
ing of call loans rates to 5 per cent.
though the rate eased off again before
the closing. Other departments of the
money market were unaffected. Net
results of the days trading are very
uneven, net gains exceeding a point in

BtNfFuI INDIGESTION,
THE DISORDERS IT CAUSES AND
THE POIsONs IT INsTILs IN THE
BLOOD.

If we only knew how dangerous. insid-
ious and ruthless disease indigestion is,
we would not wait as we do before en-
deavoring to cure it,
The longer we wait. the more danger
Gus it is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the better it will be. and the bet
ter we will be.
Indigestion is dangerous because it
creates poisons in the stomach which are
absorbed by the blood and by it carried
to all parts of the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed if
the stomach could digest it's food. When
it can't Shaker Digestive Cordial will
help it to do SO.
Nothing will help the stomach so we'll
as Shaker Digestive Cordial nothing else
cure indigestion so quickly. or SO pos
itively.
The reason is that it purifies the stom-
ach and the blood. and makes your food
strengthen instead of poison you.
1t is not a medicine, but an aid to diees-
ton. a pleasant cordial for weak stom-
achc.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for trial
bottle.
Address for interesting book, The
Shakers, 30 Reade Street, New York.

Judge Mckcnna.
Judge Joseph McKenna of California is a
man of recognized capacity, knowledge of
public affairs and acquaintance with public
men. During his term in Congress he en-
toyed wide popularity. He is man of good
judgment. alert intellect and pleasing ad-
dress. Without any display of artificial
Suavity, he makes friends readily, and
probably every man with whom he came
in contact while in Congress remembers
him with esteem. He was born in Phila-
delphia August 10. 1S43 He went to Cali
fornia with his parents in 1855. In 1866 he
was made district attorney Of Sonoma
county, and served two terms. In 1874 he

Farms Under Glass.
From Lippincott's.

FROM Llpplncotts.
A popular lecturer, in estimating the
number Of people who would inhabit this
globe a thousand years hence, was asked
by one in the audience how such vast
multitude could be fed. In reply to this
question he is quoted as saying: 1--WE know
not what discoveries may be made to
render the earth more fertile. or to in
crease its productive power. but long be-
fore that time enough Of the sands Of Cape
Cod and New Jersey may have been con-
verted into glass to place a roof over all
the land devoted to growing crops, and
beneath its shelter the farmer. in a climate
Of perpetual summer, may grow his crops
in continuous succession. and with the
waters of the deep springs and the lakes
under his control. may be free from
dangers Of flood and drought as well as
from the frosts and SHOWS"
Undoubtedly, long before the expiration
of the thousand years. gardeners, farming
under glass. will be engaged In supplying.
not what are today considered the luxuries
of life, but the very necessities. Hot-house
fruits and vegetables may then be raised
for the poor and needy as cheaply as the
truck gardens In the suburbs of all our
cities. Vast sections Of land may be roof
ed over with glass. and perpetual sum-
mer climate will make the plants and trees
and vines flourish as In the tropics.

Social Burdens to Come.
Whether or not Mrs Mckinley will be
able to preside upon state occasions at the
White House is as much a matter OF con-
lecture with herself and her husband as it
is with those who know her best. How she
will stand the informal demands upon her

determine what other share she will he
