STOCK MARKET QUIET
Prevalent Speculative Stagnation
Discussed on Change.
Little Actual Liquidation and Prices
Advanced strongly ON Pro-
fessional Purchases.

New York, July 1s.-Wall Street, or that
part of it directly interested in the stock
exchange resolved itself this afternoon
into a debating society with the prevalent
speculative stagnation the subject of dis
cussion. The conclusions drawn from the
protracted discussion were not very sat
isfactory or edifying.
1t is conceded that the material outside
situation was satisfactory and that broad
ly speaking 1t made for higher prices. On
the other hand, the Diplomatic friction
which is anticipated in settling up our
account with Spain at the end of the war
is in some quarters regarded as menacing
and certain features of the transportation
industry are very discouraging.
Notwithstanding the unifcation in
management and control that has taken
place in the anthracite coal properties
in recent years, 1t seems impossible for
those companies to conduct their business
harmoniously.
Apart from the anthracite properties
few are aware of the extent to which
rate-cutting and the reDating OF traffic
charges is at present conducted. When
the accounts of the railways for the fis-
cal year are finally made up there will
be heavy charges 10 be made against the
apparent net earnings on this account.
Disappointed applicants for allotment
in the Government loan showed no evil
dences of turning 10 the stock market.
Yet it Is plain that large sums OF money
laid up pending the allotment of the
bonds will soon find their way to specu-
lative and investment markets The Gov
ernment, In fact, will return at once To
checks and 1t seems safe estimate to
place the amount to be returned at S2o,-
100000

DANGER OF DELAY.

1t cannot be insisted upon too strongly that
treatment for catarrhal affections should not be
neglected. "a
There is an element Of danger in neglect and
procrastination.
While patients condition may not appear TO
himself to be very serious just at this time,
chronic troubles are always more or less in
sidious, and if left TO their course almost
invariably end disastrously to the patient.
Inquiries in person and by letters are being
daily received to whether or not the free
month will be offered to patients beginning in
August. To all such inquiries Doctor Cowden
answers positively No 1t is simply impossible
TO extend the time already allotted and every
patient, both old and new, desiring the free
month must apply before August /.
There will be no neglect either in treatment
or medicines, during the free month. Every pa
tient will receive the treatment that cures. the
treatment that has lifted the blight of the
word ''incurabe" from hundreds of thousands

That the scope of Doctor Cowden's system of
medicine is bread the field Of medical

strated repeatedly, but clearly as in
the case of Mr.. Davis, whose statement is pre-
sented here.
