GREAT INDIGNATION AROUSED.
Treason of the Universal Peace
Union RoundIy Denounced.

Philadelphia, May 27.-The remarkable
letter Of Alfred II. Love president of the
Universal Peace Union, to the Queen Re
gent of Spain, carried in these dispatches
yesterday, has aroused the greatest indig-
nation in this city and may result in
checking the zeal of the society.
The letter is pronounced as verging as
close upon an act Of treason as it would

Rumors of spain's Desire for Peace

5iusea

New York, May 27.-The strength of to-
days stock market on the eve of pro-
tracted suspension of business both here
and abroad was noteworthy. Foreign
operators in our stocks did not show the
same boldness that was evident on the
part of the local traders. The early
cabled advices showed American stocks
quoted slightly above the closing prices
in this market, but on balance very little
was done here by foreign houses, their
dealings being confined to moderate sales
of Southern Railway and Louisville and
Nashville and to light trading on both
sides of the account in other stocks.
In respect to the rumors that Spain
was desirous of peace, it was to be noted
that Spanish fours recovered further and
the gold premium at Madrid fell 61-2
points from yesterdays level. The
premium today was rs, as against Id
three weeks ago. q
number of interesting statements OF
earnings were published today. OF these
the showing of st. Paul attracted the
most attention. The net increase for the
month of April amounted TO only SIS, ,563,
but this showing was the result of the
diversion by the management of nearly
the whole of the increase in gross TO
operating expenses.
The increase in Atchison's income from
operation for April, it is TO be noted.
showed a gain of over 100 per cent as
compared with last year.
The conspicuous features of today's
trading were Rock Island and Peoples
Gas, which advanced on heavy transac-
tions. The general market was also firm
from the opening until the last hour, when
Washington dispatches, stating that the
Administration had declared that ii had
no definite knowledge as TO the where
abouts of the Spanish feet. caused a real
izing movement and prices closed at the
lowest level of the day

Dun's weekly review of trade tomorrow

Duns weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
THE nation faces war with revivipg
volume of business. The West is doing
Its part and more, but at the East, also,
the volume of business is now expanding.
Without abatement in any important line,
the great outgo of wheat and corn con-
tinues TO stimulate business in the West,
and railroad earnings show an increase
over last year of Isl per cent.
Atlantic exports of wheat, -four includ-
ed, have been 3.726. 442 bushels for the
week, against l. 536 607 last year though
Pacific exports were only 921A bushels.
against 3l4955 last year. Wheat receipts
at the West do not diminish, but run
far beyond those of a year ago The
marvel is stlll the enormous foreign buy
ing of corn, exports having reached g.
$50 5S5 bushels for the week. against J.,
5S4, 81 last year. Yet corn closes Sic.
lower for the week. although wheat after
rising from 106 to SI.66 for May. fell 20
sl.4e on Friday, while July options fell
! IA cents.
Itis the presence of such extraordinary
movements that transactions in stocks
show remarkable strength In spite of
occasional heavy selling by foreigners. On
the whole the foreign demand has been
highly satisfactory and il is supposed
that purchases have exceeded sales by
about $1,000 shares.
The week shows an advance of s1.03 in
the average price of the sixty most active
railroad stocks and "a cents in the aver
age price of trusts. The principal clear
ing houses show payments on business
of all kinds to be 81 per cent larger than
last year for the week. This is largely
because industries show no such decrease
as has been apprehended in consequence
of the war bur on the whole a gradual
~ ~ n,
Starting this month with the greatest
consumption ever known, the iron in
dustry has made surprising progress in
new orders, which reached about 100000
tons in bars alone. A better demand ap-
pears for textile goods, with slight ad-
vance in print cloths and a substantial
gain in sales of staples. 1t is too late
for the question of cotton supplies during
the current crop year TO affect the mar
ket much, and the rise of an eighth on
raw cotton this week makes no i'm
portant difference with the manufacture,
but there is a distinct decrease in the de-
mand for goods Wool is also slow. the
sales during the week having been 8, 74S,
100 pounds. The silk mills are all busy
and the coming linen manufacture is
making a good record for itself.
Foreign exports from New York for the
week have been about 81, COO 600. or 20 per
cent larger than last year. though for
three weeks past only about 2 per cent
larger. But imports at New York have
been 600 smaller, or about 20 per
cent for the week, and SIS, GOO smaller,
or about 40 per cent for three weeks of
May. These figures indicate another
enormous excess of exports over imports
of merchandise during the month, and
give fair reason for the increased de-
mand for gold to be shipped to this side
which is reported from Europe.
Failures for the week have been PAS. in

company, as shown by the increased
stringency of prices of wheat for imme-
date use. pointing to unimpaired
strength in the nearby statistical posi-
ton, while on the other hand the large
yield foreshadowed tends to easiness in
prices of next years crop deliveries.
The price of corn reflects the less
anxiety about the crop induced by the
return of weather favorable to planting
and growth.
Reports from the iron and steel indus
tries are of very large business being done
by the mills and furnaces. Signs Of i'm
prOvement in wool are nearer realization
than ever, rather more business being re-
ported al the Eastern markets. An en-
couraging feature in the textile trade is
the better tone of cotton goods, particu-
larly print-cloths, which are slightly
higher on the week and 1-Sc. above the

The stock market was weak again yes
terday on the lack of news and largely,
too, perhaps, on the fact that there will
be a long closed market from noon today
TO Tuesday morning. There are so many
things that may happen between the close
today and the next chance people will
have to trade that 1t seems too risky TO
carry over contracts TO most people. In
the early trading there was some ac-
tivity and strength, but soon the sale be-
gan and il kept up all day with losses all
around. Two or three stocks that have
the support of cliques held up but 1t was
evidently with support of a somewhat
strenuous character. The war situation
is unchanged in any slight particular. The
Cervera feet is seemingly bottled up
certainly enough but there is slight
chance the other way and II is large
enough TO furnish the street with fear.
There is no immediate prospect of any
decisive action either. The attitude OF the
Government is all toward the fear of
long war. This also the street sees. The
talf of Europe that Spain would be will
ing now to end the war on any terms is
not given any heed. Spain is not making
any preparations to end the war either as
far as can be seen from the outside. On
the whole there is apparently disposi-
ton among the leaders of the market TO
allow a recession of a few points. The
rise has been good and the ordinary crowd
is now buying. This crowd is about due
to be wiped out. A further drop of
point or more would be no surprise to-
day.

Some comment was made yesterday on
the increase in the st. Paul operating ex-
penses for April that absorbed so large
part of the gain gross as to leave an
increase of only s1S,5 500 in the net. These
results may probably be ascribed to the
preparations for the change of track ele-
vation in Chicago. This work will cost
the company Sbout s1.5O0,OOO all of which
win be charged to operating expenses.
Undoubtedly it belongs here, but the
practice of putting it here is not general
and certainly cuts a big hole in that very
desirable thing, large net earnings. Even
after these deductions the company will
show about Z per cent earned on the
stock during the current fiscal year.

pected to decide on Monday on the extra

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery

The Rev F. l. Bell, a highly esteemed

follows: There has never been anything
that 1 have taken that has relieved the
Dyspepsia from which have suffered for
ten years except the new remedy called
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Since TAX
ing them l have had no distress at all
after eating, and again after long years
CAN SLEEP WELL Rev. +. l. Bell,
Weedsport, N. Y; formerly, Idalia, Col.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a remark
able remedy; not only because it is cer-
tain cure for all forms of indigestion, but
because it seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases of dyspepsia as we'll as
in mild attacks of Indigestion or bilious
ness. A person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach is overwOrked- All it
wants is a harmless vegetable remedy
to digest the food and thus give it the
much-needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy is CIV
en- not only to the stomach but to ev-
cry organ and nerve in the body. A trial
of this splendid medicine will convince
the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and
all stomach troubles can be cured The
tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart
Co., of Marshall, Mich, but so popu-
lar has the remedy become that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets can now De obtained

to the compensation to be paid 1t for the
use of its tracks and motive power, as
to the proposed routes to be used by the
