SOAP Said to Il. unh.althful.

One is always learning. Did you ever
suspect that nature varnishes over
with wax not dlstinguishable from
that Of the bee? She does this to pre-
vent chills, too quick evaporation, and
so to keep the blood thin enough toe
run in and out Of capillary arteries.
Alkalies and all cleansing" soaps de-
stroy this natural varnish. Frequent
warm baths are injurious, but cold
saltwater baths brace the skin. They
remove no impurity, but give func-
tional activity. The new doctrine is
that a healthy ska cleanses itself.
The best help to 1t IL vnderclothes Of
soft cotton, such IS Asiatics wear.
This soft raiment absorbs rapidly
what the epidermis throws of.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The weekly state
ment of averages Of the associated banks
makes the most satisfactory showing in
many weeks. The banks have gained s4,-
z1A500 in lawful money, all Of it from the
subtreasury, and have promptly utilized a
part OF il 10 increase accommodations TO
their customers. presumably in connection
with December payments. The increase
Of over $3.50, coo in loans is the first ad-
vance in that item since late in the sum
mer These two changes have raised the
deposits over SO, coo, Gee and, as the amount
Of lawful money required for reserve against
that increase is $2,530,O00 an addition OF
$LSS4, 4,50o-i is made 10 the surplus, bringing
that item up 10 S, $50. 200.
The banks are now in position TO in
crease their loans moderately, should they
see At to DO so, or, rather, a few Of them
are, since the increase in cash is chiefly
in two or three institutions, the customers
Of which have apparently been the prin-
cipal sellers Of bonds to the Government
this week.
The stock market during the two hours
Of business today was dull and irregular.
Speculation waited on the bank statement,
and as the professional element had in
dulged in somewhat exaggerated ideas re
gardfng an increase in the surplus. it sold
stocks during the last half hour. The next
fluctuations were narrow and favored both
accounts Sugar Refining, Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy, Union Pacific common,
Chesapeake and Ohio. and Northern Pacific
common, received the most attention, and
all OF them showed a rising tendency. The
only really heavy stock was American To-
bacco.
An interesting occurrence today was the
publication OF circulars sent out by the
directors Of the National City Bank, one Of
them calling a meeting Of the banks stock
holders for January ., 1900. and another ex-
planning q proposition then to be voted
upon for increasing the banks capital

CHICAGO, Dec. 2-The week in the
wheat market ends with the lowest values
SO far established on the crop year. Liver
pool closed I'D lower; London duh and
lower; Paris wheat and flour 10 lower:
Antwerp 5-S lower. The worlds shipments
indicate $500, 0G0 bushels English farm
ers' deliveries, $4,000, average prices
rs 3-4c, which is lac below last week.
Fail pIowing is progressing favorably in
the Northwest, which indicates a large
acreage. The Government Weather Bureau
says there are considerable complaints of
damage by Hessian fly to winter wheat.
Clearances $4,000; from July l to date
S9,l67,0 decrease of Z, 40 900 compared
with last year. Primary receipts $50 600;
shipments l334,0 600. There is a shipping
and milling demand here as well as at St.
Louis.
Quite a bit of strength was displayed
early On covering of shorts, and some in
yestment buying, which was attracted by
the low values as well as an expectation
of a falling off in the movement to i'm
porting countries. The buying movement
was soon satisfied and the price COM
menced to sag. This started heavy selling
by commission houses, representing st.
Louis and other interests. Sentiment is
decidedly bearish, and predictions are free
ly made that wheat will decline to 60 cents
if not lower 1t is certain, however, that
present values will tend largely to re-
striction of offerings from the interior.
Winter wheat farmers will not sell.
Receipts of corn were large, but at times
values displayed great deal of strength.
The weakness in wheat was reflected how
ever before the close.
Provisions-Estimated hogs Monday, 9S-
600, next week, 1870 600. Hogs were firm,
and the large decrease in stocks led up to
strength. Worlds stocks of. lard, 261 900

Speculation during the FIVE market DAYS
OF the past week has been rather Iistless
but there has been no sign OF weakness
anywhere, and it would seem that the
weeks business should cause no uneasi-
ness among the holders Of securities. The
explanation best fitted to the situation is
that the leaders Of the market have not
thought q advisable TO allow the beginning
- active speculation and a quick upward
Sovement Of prices while there was vet
any uncertainty over the h-ancial situation.
These leaders have not sold stocks. They
have bought securities, in fact in large
blocks al times. There has been a delay
Of q week but the strength OF the market
is no less, and the probability Of higher
prices in all good securities is quite as good
81 il was week ago. On the whole the
general outlook is clear and the news even
more encouraging. the banks are in bet
Ger shape, with several millions Of cash
more than they had last Saturday, the Oc-
1DbeT earnings statement OF the railways
STe all excellent, and the Philippine situa-
ION is far better than il was. In addition
20 this there is the general expectation that
the message Of the President 10 Congress
viii be fun OF bullish sentiments, and that
the legislative body viii be inclined to
further his expansion policy The active
advance il prices may begin this week or
~ may be deferred, but il seems clear that
there is not likely 70 be any setback in
prices, and that the advance is certain to
come In q short time. The advice given
in well-infOrmed quarters is TO buy stocks
on any reccssions. II may be pointed out
again that while there has been general
dissatisfaction among traders over the in
activity OF the market for several weeks
past, prices IN all or nearly all railway Sc
curities have advanced in November The
cliques have taken up one group at a time.

part OF the railway stocks within several
points Of the prices of a month ago.
The bank statement does not call for
much comment. There has been large
increase in cash and in deposits, and these
items are of great Importance The in
crease in the surplus reserve is not SO large
as it would have been if loans had been cut
down. The fact that there has been a
heavy increase in loans shows very clearly
that the banks are not anxious over the
financial situation. The figures OF the
statement are as follows:
