Julius ]. Frieseke, of this city, whose
son Albert is a member of Co. G, 33d reg
iment, recently wrote Secretary Alger as
to the prospects of Co. G being mustered
out at the end of sixty days, as his son
was anxious to enter school, but did not
want to pay his tuition and begin his
college course, if at the end of the sixty
days furlough he was to be sent with his
regiment to outpost duty. Below we
give the reply received by Mr.. Frieseke,
which we think will be of interest to
many of our readers.

THE EXCEL ENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA Ere SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It Is
far Ia advance of all other laxatives,
as 1t acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

COT11ERCIAL.

New York, April 15.-The market for
Americans in London has taken on a
buoyant tone by the time trading
began here. The New York opening
showed sympathetic response.
Gains in the internationals ranged up
to a point. The more prominent speci-
allies showed larger gains. The
market eased off then recovered to the
best. Sugar crossed lis. The railroads
moved very narrowly and ran off I'M
der profit taking. Tobacco was the
leading feature of the forenoon specu-
lation and nuctuated more than four
points.
Prices cased off slightly after II
o'clock in the general list and then
hardened again to a very dun market.
Bonds were neglected but firm.
Chicago. April l5.-The most ex-
tensive and general liquidation of
wheat that has occurred In many
months was witnessed on change to-
day. July closed at s4A a &c, sub
stantially the bottom while May closed
at 1903. The break in July was shade
over cents and in May 9iac.
A remarkable feature of the trading
was that May during the early trading
was bid up to Lis. the highest point
since 1899. Millions of bushels OF long
wheat were dumped on the market and
after the first few minutes trading the
market weakened rapidly.
A large proportion of the selling was
done by John Cudahy, but 1t was gem
orally credited to Letter.
There was nothing in the news af-
fecting the market to warrant the
liquidation. Holders apparently real
lied on the recent big advance.
