Sugar was especially weak. Rumors
were circulated that unpleasant news of
various kinds is to come out regarding the
company. but inside interests were said
to be steady buyers of the stock on the de-
cline. which inclined conservative people
to believe that the selling was for short
account largely. IL not wholly. The spec
tacular Consolidated Exchange trader who
made a million in the recent break was
credited with most of the selling. 1t will
be seen that il he continues to sell Sugar
short with his million. while 1t is pur-
chased from him steadily by the Standard
Oil people, his ending will be a painful
thing to witness. The low price ON the
stock at noon was lis Ia, and it was be-
lieved that it would not go much If any

1t is one Of the axioms of stock market
speculation that after panic prices may
be expected 10 get near if not quite back
TO their previous low level on the selling
out of accounts. and short sales by those
who canhot realize that better condition
OF things has arrived. 1t is the disposition
OF conservative people TO regard the de-
elines today as in the nature % a vildi-
cation of this axiom and not as an indica-
lion that there are to be further sharp
breaks and lower prices. The end of the
year with its easier financial conditions in
prospect will prevent much important
short selling and at the same time encour-
age believers in security values to puT-
chase stocks.

News in the Street this morning was
meagre. Talk Of the bank statement and
of the probable amount of the exports of
gold tomorrow occupied the attention of
many. Although it seems probable that
something like s7.000.o00 will be sent
abroad. and although there is reason for
expecting decrease in the bank Ie-
serves in the statement. il is noticeable
that money has been relatively plentiful all
this week since Monday. The rate for call
loans has fluctuated around per cent, but
every day it has gone below this figure at
some time. The aid extended to the New
York banks by the Treasury Department
has been of much service. Bonds to the
extent of SIS, 10000 have bsen accepted by
the Treasury from the banks that wish to
become repositories. and a large part o.
this amount in money has been deposited
with them. New York banks get about
81, ,0Q0, coo of the total.

A SURPRISE PARTY.
1t Came to a Man Who Used to Make
Himself Solid with the
Walters.

Brown had received a setback that he
will not recover from for some time," said
Dodson, as he slipped his coffee. II honest
ly believe that he has corrupted every
decent waiter in the city by his outlandish
system of overlapping, making it almost inn
possible for modest Upper to get any serv-
ice at all.
''He had habit of starting with the head
waiter, and tipping them all down the line
don't know whether he had ever tipped the
iishwashers or not, but I have my suspi-
lions that he did.
The result has been that the walters
looked upon him sort of Indian nabob,
or returned king from the Kondike, and
would. pay no attention to anyone else
when he was present.
"You might complain and storm all you
liked, but it would have no effect, When
Brown entered everything else was
dropped until the imaginary specks of dirt
were wiped from the immaculate table
cloth and spotless china, and Brown seated
IN all his solitary glory at his favorite
place, which was always reserved for him.
But all that is changed now, and he ia

Guarding Against Twin Germs.

A village clergyman tells this story: He
was walking through the outskirts of his
parish one evening, when he saw one of his
Pensioners very busy withdrawing his cot
tage. Pleased at these somewhat novel
signs of cleanliness, he called out: ''Well,
Jones, see you are making your house nice
and smart" With a mysterious air Jones,
who had recently taken the cottage, de-
to the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. That's not 'xactly the rea-
son why I'm doing of this ere Job he

as mercury will surely destroy, the sense OF

It. is pointed cut that the United States
soldiers in Hawaiimay contract leprosy there,
and bring it to this country when they
return. While leprosy is much to be dreaded
there are thousand times as many victims
to stomach disorders and blood diseases, but
there is cure for them in Hostetter's Stom-

the Bitters are specific for are malaria, fe-
