OUR REASONS FOR PRIDE.

Why should we not be proud or our boys? Look at the way they have be- haved all along the line, and then re- fuse to take you hat off if you can All the rest of the world is surprised, but we Americans are not, for we know the stuff they are made O. and expect ed them to -o just what they have done. Still, we cannot help being proud of them, in common with all the rest of mankind.
 Three months 70 they were in our warehouses and counting houses and If you didn't know better you would say that that was not tough enough material for the hard work of war. Bu . down at Santiago they are like veter- ans, and even when they were caught in an ambush and couldn't see twenty feet ahead, on account of the under brush, and the air was full of lead, they stood their ground bravely and stead fly advanced, forcing the Spaniards to retreat.
 We have had this matter in hand but a few weeks. and yet there are instances of peculiar daring enough to fill a whole page of history. Privates and officers alike seeem to be on the alert for opportunities which will test their mettle, and volunteers for an ex- petition which involves almost certain death are to be had in over yhelming numbers.
 These are the kind of men which American institutions have produced, and we have right to be proud of them.-New York Herald.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-The stock market to- day dropped back into a rut and drifted slug gishly on small transactions except for several individual stocks. which were influenced by special causes. The fact that yesterday rp- ward movement was stopped in itself made the bears among the traders. although it was at tributed to sympathy with the sharp break in Sugar. Sugar continued to be the center of interest to-day and trading was feverish. the price vibrating about. above and below yester- days close over a range of points. The fevertsh tone was due to doubts as to whether the recently formed bull pool had finished It's campaign against the shorts. The bears at one time forced the price down to 13e, but there was evidence of support and they were driven to cover. A brisk upward movement in Manhat- tan also supposed to be the result of a much heralded campaign against the shorts in that stock; The Rubber stocks were strong ceases by the death of leading competitor. The stock of the Linseed oil Trust slumpe,i barrassment of the company, due to the seed market.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, July 2s.-Higher cables from Liv- erpool and unfavorable weather for corn started wheat higher. The reaction theory
 also seemed to sayor some recovery. The drop for the past few days has been such that the
 trade seemed 10 come to the conclusion that
 1t was good time to buy. Shorts were dis
 posed to cover and secure profits and there was more less demand for the long account.
 Later, when numerous crop damage reports
 about corn were being received and the market
 for that commodity began to be considerably
 affected by them. still further strength was
 imparted 10 wheat. The interest in cash or
 July revived. It evident that there
 was still considerable shortage, and this caused
 a bullish feeling. July shorts became anxious
 and covered freely. and that month showed
 more strength than anything else Bids a basis of yesterdays cash prices were in the market here for considerable quantities of Kansas No. hard but the wheat could not be secured. July closed 1l4c higher. September &G5sc and declined lc.
 Corn was unexpectedly easy for a few min utes at the opening This weakness of short duration. however. as the reports from the country too bullish regards the damage done by dry weather for the market to ignore its existence. September closed with a gain of 1c.
