counted much on the effect of these UNI
ted representations to Congress.
Prices show small losses throughout
as net result of the days trading. The
opinion is still tenaciously held i'll some
quarters that hostilities may yet bC
averted. Such hopes of THIS rs were eli
tertained to-day were based ON the posi-
bility that Spain would be induced tC
yield to demands of this government BY
the representations of the Pope and the
European powers. An expression of TIL,
prevailing uneasiness was the decision
by the Stock Exchange Governing
Board to keep open for business on GOOD
Friday. The money market continues
Ito reflect the stress over the relations
with Spain as forcibly aS in the STOCK
market. Funds continue to move to the
interior for the purpose of Strengthening
the reserves of interior banks. Tht
proportion of reserves of all the banks
in the country have been enormously
increased in the last few weeks and
New York has made good the consequent
drain upon its reserves by large con
traction in loans and by heavy imports
of gold from Europe. The owners %
money are very loath to put it out in
loans. The prevailing rates of , per cent
for time money and the varying rates for
call loans are admitted TO be largely due
to ard based on apprehensions of war.
The position of the banks is admittedly
strong: the supply of available funds
large and the demand for the use OF
money not very active, but with rates
stiffly held continues and will continue
to remain firm. An easing of money in
London and Berlin facilitates the import
gold moving and the engagements am
nounced to-day amounted to nearly So
100000.

New York, April J.-Sales of print
cloth extras outside the Fail River mar
ket were made late yesterday at cents
This is lower than the lowest price here
tofore touched by the print cloth mar
ket. The effect is depressing on the
market for staple cottons. The demand
is, however very limited, in spite of the
weak market prevailing. AT first hands
and in jobbing circles alike there is Il
deartli of store buying. Visiting buyers
are exceedingly scarce. In the wooden
goods market there is much complaint
over the many cancellations in men $
wear fabrics. Prints are generally ir-
regular.
COTTON.
New York. April J.-To-day's cotton
market was Il small, narrow affair. fiuc-
tuations being restricted to a range of
3 points and total transactions to mea-
gerly $4,000 bales. Aside from light
buying for Liverpool accounts. business
was restricted to the scattered operations
of the professional element. All sorts
of sensational war rumors were in cir
culation throughout the day. but were
too conflicting TO do more than unset
tie sentiment. Early advices were abou,
as expected. but subsequent cables re-
fiected some NERVOUSNESS in the cotton
trade at that point. Our market opened
quiet and steady with prices point
higher to | point lower. eased off 1M2
points under scattering selling and VI.
ried but little from the rest of the ses-
sion. At the close the feeling was barely
steady with prices | to 5 net points
lower.

BARBER ON TOP.

Judge Mcpherson, at Harrisburg,
handed down an opinion Tuesday
declaring invalid the certificates of
nomination of John E. Lauer, of
Carbon, who claimed the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress in this
District, and declaring valid the
certificate of Laird Fl. Barber, who
also claimed the nomination.
One reason assigned is that his
is valid because it was
made at a meeting of which proper
notice, considering all the circum-
stances of the case, had been given
the other conferees, and it was
unanimously made by a clear ma
jority of the whole conference.
1t will be recalled that the Shull,
Hart and Lauer combine met at
Mauch Chunk and organized con-
vention, claiming that Northamp-
ton, which county had previously
fixed the time of meeting, and sub
sequently given due notice to all
parties that it was postponed to
another day, having fixed the date,
had exhausted her control over the
matter, and could not postpone.
Accordingly, they at the time first
appointed met, and no one contest
ing Lauer's conferees, they were
admitted to the conference and par
ticipated in making the nomination.
Under the ruling of the court, it ap-
pears that Northampton had author
ity to change the date of meeting,
and that the Lauer conferees had
no legal status as such, hence the
Barber conferees, with those of
Northampton, making eight legally
elected conferees, made clear ma
jority of the conference.

NEW LOCK JAW REMEDY.

Lock jaw, or tetanus, as profess
sionally named, is most fatal and
dreadful disease. A pin scratch, a
rusty nail or a thorn in the foot, as
was the case with young Schultz,
bruise on the fnger, or any timid-
like accident may result in fearful
sufTerings, and almost always death.
The physicians have been baffied
and their victims made the sport of
fate. In acute or malignant at
tacks only twenty per cent. are
saved and mild cases recover on an
average of forty per cent.
1t is said to arise from germ and
is an innOculable disease, and has a
distinct and characteristic bacillus.
This has led the way to the use Of
an antitoxine, and the introduction
of the serum into the blood, in q
manner somewhat similar to that
practiced in diptheria, but this has
produced unsatisfactory results and
been uncertain, and cases of cure
have been rare. Much interest,
therefore, has been created in the
case of A. M. Hemion, in the Pas
sale Hospital, who was operated on
for lock jaw by having the antitox-
inc directly introduced into his
brain by triphining, He soon be-
came better, and it is thought, will
recover. However, eminent medi-
ical men yet doubt the efficacy of
this treatment and think this simp-
ly an experiment. The case will be
watched with great interest, and
should the result warrant the
claims now made of the new method
mankind will have received a great
boon at the haads of the scientists.

dead locks in the Peace Commission
the probability of European inter-
ference in the negotiation in behalf
of Spain and other equally silly
fakes European interference in
behalf of Spain might have been a
serious thing in the beginning of
of the war and there were really
some reasons for fearing some at
tempt of that sort, but, having let
that opportunity go by without
action, there is not the slightest
reason for expecting anything of
the sort in connection with the
peace negotiations. The U. s. is
not Turkey and nobody knows it
any better than the European po-
tentates.
