hour, and then there began an advance
that was as spirited as any that the bull
movement has seen in all Its course. 1t
was the kind of fiuctuation to make the
trader on small margins weep.Aand the
commission broker happy. And 1t was of
such color that the differences of opin-
ion were necessarily sharp. On the one
hand the bulls assert that the reaction of
yesterday was sufficient and that from
now on there is to be a continuance of
the advance. They state their belief that
the public is SO enthusiastic that the tenn
porary tightening of money has no effect
On them whatever. 1t is suggested that
the small margin people are a very small
part of the public and that stocks are be-
ing absorbed by people for investment,
anu to hold for a permanently higher
level. The bears are quite as aggressive,
however, in their talk that such reac-
tion as yesterdays must bring further de-
clines in its wake as a result offstop loss
orders and the panicky feeling that must
attack weak holders when the drift is
against them. 1t is perhaps generally ac-
knowledged, however, that prices will be
much higher early next year. and this
would suggest that the man who holds his
stocks sturdily need not fear temporary
fluctuations.
sugar was very strong this mOrnlng
from the opening regardless of the iuc-
tuations of the general market Within
the first hour it had advanced more than
two points. This strength perhaps had
its influence in staying the reaction in
other directions, but otherwise there is no
particular significance TO be attached to
1t. Sugar is manipulated as the insiders
see fit. The stock is active now and er-
ratio, which suggests that the Sugar peo-
pie are making up on speculations what
they lose in Sugar refining.
The Coal stocks were again strong to-
day from the opening, on the cod wealth
er and the advances in the price of coal.
1t is the general opinion that there may
be continuance of the advance during
the remainder of the year. The net in
crease in Readings earnings for Novem-
Der increased $169.0O0. This, with the
most favorable Jersey Central report is
encouraging.

fastened upon any subject that interested
Nearly every man has it in his power to
live to green old age like the great states
man of England. It is simply matter Of
little daily thought and regard for health
If, when man feels that he is little out
of sorts, he will resort to the right remedy,
he will never have to submit to the more
serious ills of life. Most men, when they
have headache, feel drowsy during the
day and are restless during the night, and
find their appetite falling off, pay little or
no heed to these warnings. The Inevitable
result Is some dangerous and possibly fatz
malady. The doctor may call it consump-
ton, malaria or biliousness, or perhaps
some blood OF skin disease. 1t makes but
little difference These troubles all have
their inception in the same cause - I'm
proper and insufficient nourishment DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery corrects
that cause. 1t makes the appetite keen
and hearty, the digestion perfect the liver
active and the blood pure and rich. 1t is
the great blood-maker and flesh builder
1t facilitates the assimilation of the life
giving elements of the food, filling the
blood with the nutriment that makes new
and healthy flesh and nerve tissue. Medi-
cine dealers sell it.

SALUTES ON A SHIP OF WAR
How the Courtesies Of the Sea Are Elk
tended to Officials

NO salute exceeds twenty-one guns and
no salute is ever fired except between sun
rise and sunset, when the national colors
must be displayed, but 1t Is also usual not
to fire salutes before am. Whenever the
President Is embarked in a ship Of war
flying his flag all other United States ships
of war and naval stations near which he
passes fire the national salute.
Side-boys are detailed usually from the
apprentice boys. They stand each side Of
the gangway, In line, and salute by touch
ing their caps as the visiting officials come
on board and leave ship by the starboard
gangway. Warrant officers, naval cadets,
and enlisted men use the port gangway.
After nightfall all boats coming close to
the ship are hailed by the marine sentry
or by the quartermaster with the words.
Boat ahoy!'' A flag officer answers
Flag" a commanding officer answers the
name of the ship; other commissioned Of
ficers answer. aye. aye;" warrant offic-
ers and naval cadets answer. mo, no;''
while enlisted men answer, Hello"
Every officer and man, on reaching the
upper deck, salutes the national flag, and
this salute is returned by the officer of the
watch at hand.
rag Officers are addressed by tnelr titles
Iof Admiral or Commodore; Captains and
commanding officers are called Mr." and
not by their official titles, though in ad-
dressing them in writing these titles are
always used. The surgeons however. are
usually called doctor" and paymasters
of any grade "paymaster."
Boat salutes are given by tossing oars,
which means holding them up right in the
air with the blades fore and aft, or by ly-
ing on oars, by which Is meant holding the
oars horizontal as they rest in the rowlocks.
Coxswains of boats stand and salute when
passing boats containing officers. All Of
ficers and men. whether in uniform or not,
meeting a senior afioat or ashore, salute
by touching the cap.
When a ship of the navy enters a port
Of any nation where there Is fort or bat
terry, or where a ship of war Of that nation
may be lying, she shall fire a salute of
twenty-one guns. provided the Captain Is
satisfied the salute will be returned. The
flag of the nation saluted will be displayed
at the main during the salute.
