We heard that Shreveport haC
make up one thousand dollars anc
put it in the bank for its base bal
club, to draw when in need; and We
also heard that the Shreveport
club is now in need at Paris, and is
calling on Texarkana to help them
out of the town, by sending them
railroad fare. We have not heard
of any Shreveport bank bursting,
and cannot account for the short
ness of the club with a thousand

The Hand That Feeds.

Only one nation in the world can
war with US and escape destruction.
That nation is Russia, and Russia
is not keen for that sort of sport at
present. The lack of wheat is do
ing more damage to Spain today
than the lack of ammunition, You
can hire thousans of men to 60 out
and face death from a bullet, but
no man will die of hunger without
displaying considerable pique.
Just at present you could get a
whole regiment of soldiers for a
quarter of Kansas wheat in Italy.
That is one reason, among many,
why the Combination of European
powers" has done nothing of late
and why France hurues to explain
that she is strictly neutral" and
why the German emperor has re-
considered his naughty intentions,
They are not quarreling with their

There Is more catarrh in this sec

eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
iucurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it 4 local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, October 1.-THE bears had
hard work to make n living in t0~day's
stock market, Notwithstanding great
perseverance. The Industrial specialties
were the only stocks on the list which
showed any disposition to move widely,
and the movement of these was full of
mystery" 1t was room traders mar
ket, and the motives which impelled these
gentry to sell and buy stocks would
probably be beyond the initiated to
fathom. Tobacco ranged over nearly
six points with no news t. account FOR il.
The COalers, which are the perpetual
target for bear hammering, were raided
down from / to : per cent, on the gener-
al depression in the anthracite Industry
and other specialties were subjects of in
dividual treatment. These manoeuvers
of the professional bears had astonish-
ingly little influence on railroad stocks.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-10-12

The demand for these securities was of
what might be called infinitessinlal
proportions, and there was no disposition
to sell. The statement of st. Paul show,
ing an increase in earnings for the first
week in October of over $4,000 as COM
pared with the corresponding week last
the list. There was Il subsistence also
wear was Il sustaining factor all through
of apprehension over Anglo French re-
Iotions. There was an easing of the
money rate in Berlin, though the pressure
from that source upon the London money
market caused a hardening in the dis
count rate and a further fall in consols.
A fall of 1-64 in the price of Kansas and
Texas Pacific in face of good traffic re-
turns for the first week in October was
unexplained. as was the advance of over
a point in the price of Kansas City
Pittsburg and Gulf on an active demand.
The bond market was dull and easier
with the exception of n few or the gilt
edge issues. Total sales S1.670OOO.
Government bonds were unchanged in the
bid price. There were sales of the 3's,
