When a young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, If the father
is wise one he thinks of one thing equal
" as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
gcnce. A young man who suffers from ILL.,
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored To do so is to commit a crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them is inner
tied. If a man is a consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, understood lungs, and predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.
The young man who suffers from bron.
chitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood or any
disease OF the air passages which. ii neg
1ectcd leads up to consumption, may take

Stocks-No great success attended
any effort to awaken active speculative
interests in stocks to-day There was
IN fact no very vigorous effort to do so,
the powerful influences in the market
being apparently content to rest on their
oars and wait for more definite infor-
nation of the operations of the OBJ
posing fleets in West Indian waters.
The measure taken by the govern
ment to shut off all information on this
subject have apparently proved entirely
successful, and Wall street was COM
pletely in the dark. Even rumors on
the subject which are likely to prove
plentiful in such circumstances were
not forthcoming and the market was
consequently dull. There were num-
Der of conspicuous advances during the
day, but they were by no means uni
form nor were they simultaneous. First
one stock then another seemed to be
the object of some special demand. but
these isolated movements had very little
influence on the general list. Sugar
was the most prominent of such stocks
and advanced suddenly about 2 points
after a period of early hesitation. To-
bacco also had its period of strength
Rock Island continued to lead the
Changers, and rose at one time to 1O2.
the highest point on the present move
ment The Changers were also quite
strong though the volume of dealings
was below that of the last few DAYS.
Later in the day Manhattan enjoyed a
period of activity and strength. This
IL, Sc al -
heusted itself late in the day and the
semi-stagnation which ensued encour-
aged the bears to make a desultory at
tack on prices, which yielded all
around, in some cases nearly a point.
making the close easy at level con-
siderably below the highest but with
notable net gains still remaining for
many prominent stocks. A feature of
the trading was the way in which stocks
which have lain dormant for some time
were awakened into movement and in
almost all cases this movement was
sharply upward. There was also a
considerable demand for small lots of
dividend paying and higher priced in
vestment stocks such as is always con-
current with a release Of large sums of
money and an extension of credits.
Bonds showed a notable awakening
into activity, evidently a result of the
more abundant supply of money. The
Missouri Pacific issues were all in de-
mand and were advanced from / " to
31a per cent There were very heavy
dealings also in Union Pacific As at a

OUR TRADE WITH JAPAN


Immense Increase the Past Year in
American Exports to That Coun-
try.
Washington, D. c., May 19.-The
commerce of the United States with
Japan has grown more rapidly during
the past year than that of any other
nation. The annual returns of the
foreign trade OF the empire of Japan"
just received by the bureau of statis-
tics, shows that the imports into Japan
from the United States increased from
l6373,4 19 yen, in 1896, to 1880 ,537 yen
In 1897, while her exports to the United
States increased from 81 ,532, 341 yen in
1896, to 52,436, 404 yen in 1897. Only
three countries, viz: Great Britain.
China and British India, made as large
sales to Japan as did the United States
In 1897, and in no case was the increase
n imports as large as that from the
United States. The gain which the
United States has made over other
parts Of the world in supplying Japan
with her imports is shown by the fact
that the imports from the United States
increased IS per cent in 1897 over 1896.
while in total imports from all parts of
the world, the increase of 1897 over
1886 was only % per cent, the gain of
Great Britain, our chief competitor, be-
ing only about 10 per cent. The rapid
development of Japan's foreign COM
merce is shown by the fact that her ex-'
ports in 1897 increased % per cent. The
articles which showed marked in
crease in Japan's imports from the
United States were: Raw cotton, cot
ION duck, flour, hats and caps, fowling
pieces, carriages. pig iron, plate and
sheet iron, iron pipes, nails, steam boil
ers and engaes~stsel rails, locomotive
engines, railway carriages, electrical
machinery, spinning machinery, min
ing machinery, printing paper and tele-
graph wire.
