continued the decline but the ONO sou
coal roads maintained their recent snow
OF strength Union Pacific rose ar one
time over points but recent buyers
commenced to take profits as soon as
report was published that the new COM
pany had secured control of Oregon Saolt
Line. The stock reacted over point.
The recent strength of the stock OF the
disintegrated portions of the old Un-
ion Pacific system is fully explained
by to-day's announcement. This buy
ing was evidently founded on a belief IN
far reaching plans of combination and
extension which, according to some pre-
valent rumors will embrace one vast
system from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
Much was made in the market on q re-
ported bond issue by the G. and O..
though the view of benefits to accrue
seem to be somewhat exaggerated con
sidering the amount of transactions
Advices from London and the continent
showed the tone of American securities
in the foreign financial markets to be
excellent. London bought in this mar
ket no less than 10000 shares Of the ia
vorite international stocks and the mark
ed strength Of Union Pacific, Denver
and Rio Grande preferred and Northern
Pacific was directly attributable to this
demand. The weakness in Sugar seem
ed to be connected with the annual meet
ing of directors in progress to-day
though no news regarding the company
reached the public. Money declined t.
yield to-day below 215 per cent, but thu
tone of the market reflected the prevail
ent feeling that rates will yield in the
near future. Large amounts or money
also found their way into investment anf
speculation to-day. The available pOss;
biEty of relief to the money market was
indicated by the fall Of Il cent in posted
rate of sterling exchange and the decline
of u cent in the actual rates, the decline
not being prevented by the expected arri
val tomorrow at San Francisco of an
other 81 100000 in gold from Australia
The par value of to-day's transactions
in bonds is not as large as that of yes
terday but business was remarkably vel
distributed all through the list. Gains
were the rule but there were some de
elines. Total sales $4,775,000.
United States old As coupon and the
IS were u higher bid to-day.
There was a sale of the new As cou-
pom at 1894 which is the highest on
record.

TO TEST THE DIsPENsARY LAW

Col II. G. Cowles went to Char
lotte Saturday night to sign some papers,
as clerk of the Federal Court, in a suit
which has ben brought to test the dis
pensary law which recently went into
effect at Monroe. The suit was origi-
mated with Mr. w. n. White, native
Of this county, who has been, We under
stand, running a saloon at Monroe.
When the dispensary was set up Mon
day of last week all saloons were abol-
ished. Mr.. A. w. Parker, acting as
agent for Mr.. White, sold an original
package of whiskey, which had been
shipped from Georgia to Monroe, after
the dispensary law went into effect, in
oRder to bring a test case. ParkeE was
arrested and bound to court in the sum
OF 5000. He declined to give bond and
went to jail. His attorneys will apply
to Judge Simonton, of the United States
court, at Columbia today for a writ OF
habeas corpus ON the ground that a
prohibition of the sale of whiskey in
original packages at Monroe Is in VIC
lation Of the interstate commerce law
The authorities of Monroe have been
cited to appear at Columbia today and
show cause before Judge Simonton why
the writ should not be issued.-States-

the market showed further loss of 2

absence of support in futures. A large
Greek house and large Philadelphia
house, which have been steadily selling
of late, continued to sell today. Later
there were some buying orders, in good
part, it was claimed, for Wall street
account. This arrested the downward

DON'T OvER-SOOTHE THE BABY.
A MISTAKE often Made by Young
zzOttscrS

A MISTAKE often Made by Young
1zotilcrs.
When an infant cries, it is to express
dissatisfaction with something beyond
its control. This may be a collie, or
pin, CT an exaggerated covering, or a
fit Of the blues, or, in some cases real
up-and-dCvn Eatefulness and savagery.
The disposition too often with young
mothers is 10 stop the crying, rather
than 10 remove the cause of it. Instead
of studying how to render the babe
more comfortable, they really make ii
more uncomfortable by their herculean
efforts to soothe it. If they can only
hush the poor little thing and induce it
to suffer in silence they are satisfied.
Unless crying from pure spite it is
best TO let q baby keep on complaining
till his trouble is over. 1t is a little
hard on the nerves of those who hear
him, but il relieves the tot wonderfully
and often does him permanent good.
