which appeared al the head OF one of a

are using these proverb advertisement
on very broad scale, and they are
attracting discussion and favorable

FROM THE PLANTATION.
S. C. Alexander & Co.'S Cotton LIT,
ter to Eastern Correspondents.

Pine Bluff, Apfil. 8-Very little
cottvn now remains on plan tations
throughout the river and bottom
country and none at all in the hills.
Farm work of all kinds is more
backward than for years past, and
April finds planters repairing fenc-
es, breaking down cotton and corn
stalks aud dong work that is usuai-
ly done in January and F9orlary.
Everything points to bad start
this year; continuous bad weather
has caused general damage to the
seed, and in the opinion OF farmers
with whom we have talked on the
subject this will result in bad stands.
Supply merchants are not eager for
business; they feel discouraged at
the outlook and are contracting
their business in the supply lioe as
M lch as possible. Most of our mer-
chants are still behind with collec-
tions and are trying to close up ac-
counts now that should have been
settled in October and November.
The farmers themselves OF course
feel blue, and several who usually
plant cotton largely have expressed

THE posTMAsTERs' MEETING.
An Address Mt TOday's Session by W.
3. ShallenberEer.

The First-class Postmasters' Associa-
Hotel today. The members were slow to
arrive at the morning session, and it was
not until 1918 o'clock when the body was
called to order by President Dickerson.
President Dickerson Immediately intro
duced to the members the Hon. W. S. Shall
lenberger. Second Assistant Postmaster
General, who made an address. in which
he said that he was glad TO be with
the association. and that the object for
which It was formed met his appreciation.
He said of the railway mail service, over
which he is in authority, that since 1863
it had grown In importance and improved
in service. In 1885 the aggregate number
of letters distributed by the service was.
in round numbers, s.. .oo0. 900. In 1898 over
591 900, 900 were distributed. which de-
notes the extraordinary growth OF the ser
vice.
He declared 1t to be the intention of the
Department TO have railway clerks assort
all mail for local distribution in the large
cities, and said that plenty Of clerks can
be obtained who can take up mail at Bos
ton and on the run assort it for local distri-
button in New York city. and on the re-
turn trip assert the mail from New York
for local distribution in Boston.
The same, he said, would apply to any
other large cities.
During the morning the association dis
cussed civil service examinations, stamp
agencies receiving boxes, and surety bonds
for postmasters.

STOCKS MAKE ADVANCES
A Rise of More Than One Point
Common in Early Dealings.
The Treasury Offer to Redeem $50
100000 of Outstanding Bonds
SensibIy Aiding the Transactions.
Prices of Shares Also Stimulated
by Good Reports From London.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Advances of more
than one point were common in the stock
market at the opening of business this
morning The rapid rise which took place
was. of course, primarily owing to the offer
of the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem
$4,000, 600 of outstanding Government
bonds The rise in prices was stimulated
by the very pronounced strength of the
London market where advances were re-
ported owing TO rumors Of decisive Brit
ish victories in South Africa, and that mar
ket was also favorably affected by the ac-
tion of our Treasury, which it was believed
would avert the danger of gold shipments
10 this country by reducing local rates for
money
The announcement of tie Secretary of
the Treasury was wholly unexpected par
ticularly in view of the several assertions
from Washington that he would not inter
fere in the local monetary situation. As
was to be expected the short interest rush
ed to cover at the opening of business and
it was chiefly because of the urgent de-
mand from that quarter that the sharp in
itial rise was scored. This was clearly evi-
denced by the general and pronounced re-
cessions that followed the opening trans
actions. The opening rise was fairly uni
form. The conspicuous features of the
market, however in respect to strength
and activity. were Sugar Refining, Bur-
lington and Quincy, Southern Pacific Man
haitian. and Brooklyn Rapid Transit.

A PATENT MEDICINE MARKET.
Belgium n Great Field for American
: Energy md CnpitaI.

The American Consul at Client, in a re-
port TO the State Department on the sub
ject of drugs and medicines in Belgium,
calls attention to the fact that he believes
there is in Belgium a great and new field
for American patent medicines. He has
declared that during his residence at
Client he has been impressed with the diff
iculty Of obtaining many familiar medici-
nal preparations. He says:
There seems to be scarcely any better
index Of the differences which exist among
nationalities than the medicine which peo
pie take and the way they take it. IN
Belgium, as in all other Continental coun-
tries in Europe, the physician has relative
ly clear field. He is little hampered or
embarrassed by the presence OF patent
medicine. Few people attempt 10 cure
themselves by remedies that are already
prepared.
"A doctors prescription is considered in
dispensable. Druggists also are interested
in keeping out anything which competes
with prescription compounding. These two
reasons may in measure account for the
absence Of very many remedies which, if
once introduced, would find a ready mar
ket and regular sale.
Compound remedies. it seems 20 me-
might be placed upon this market unless
their sale would conflict with local regu-
lations. through the agency of the So
called ''druguists;' who are not really
chemists. but who still sell many of the
coarser and commoner articles and bottled
preparations found in American drug
stores. i would say that they are much
better prepared and more willing than the
regular chemists (pharmaciens) TO sell all
kinds of patent medicines, such as reme
dies for rheumatism and pain, ointments,
inhalers. cod liver oils, preparations OF
beef. iron, and er-remedies.
Many American specialties of this order
would find a good sale in Belgium if prop
erly advertised and pushed.
THE other lines of drugs for which am
disposed. to believe a market might be
lad. includes medicinal wines, fluids, ex-
tracts. and pills. All simple drugs which
are used in the prescription department,
should be introduced through wholesale
drug houses. Very little advertising Of
American drugs has been attempted here,
and such as is done is ineffective because
Of failure to employ the language, terms,
and weights and measures of-rhis country
All articles sold by weight or measure.
should be quoted in accordance with the
metric system. and prices should be ex-
pressed in francs. American circulars un-
translated and unadapted to the needs OF
the country to which they are sent, are
practically worthless.
"AIl medicinal preparations should be
accompanied by directions for use printed
in the Flemish Duteh} language, other
wise their sale will be limited to the COM
paratively small circle of French speaking
people. With proper advertising and a
reasonable distribution of free samples,
have no doubt of the possibility Of the in
PRODUCTION of many American drug spe-
cialties upon this market. There is need
fer many Of them, and the fact OF their
absence is almost entirely due to ignorance
of their existence"

A BcnninE Winner Runs From the
Track to Linden, Md.

The horse McFonso, a 100 to 1 shot,
which surprised everyone at the Benning
track yesterday by winning the hurdle
race, broke loose from his trainer after
the race and started for home. Frank r.
Keys, his owner, lives at Linden, Nd, and
says that the horse arrived there at 6:55
covered with foam and in very much
broken condition.
The distance by way of Washington Is
thirteen miles from Benning to Linden.
and the horse is said to have covered the
ground in twenty y-fve minutes. The horse
was without saddle or bride and Mr.. Keys
says that quite a commotion was created
as he came tearing along H Street from
the track. No one attempted to stop him.
Mr. Keys said today that the horse was
60 badly used up by his Pun that he would
never be able to race again.

was foreseen that the situation must soon

reason he changed front entirely yesterday
after the market had closed. His offer 10

ket price seems finally 10 put an end 10
all fear OF further tight money. 1t is GER
tainly strong bullish argument. The
Street was wondering today what influence
il was that caused the change in Secretary
Cages mind. The opening was, as has
been stated, points above the close of yes

ton on account of profit taking but before
