THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, July 2O.-Today's market
continued narrow and professional but
there was an improvement in tho tone
OF the speculation, and in the late mar
Ket a rather active buying movement
oeVeiopeq which carried prices to the
TOD level of the day at a gain Of
point or over on last nights nrioes IN
many cases. The early portion of the
day looked like repetition Of recent
experiences in strong opening based
on improving prospects abroad to be
met only by neglect and discourage
ment of any advance and a heavy cn.a-
ing. But the persistent hardness of the
market and the generally favorable
prospect OF the business outlook promp-
ted the late recovery after the early
gains had been very largely wiped out.
The early reaction was encouraged
by the violent slump of % points in
New York Air Brake, and an extreme
drop of five points in Consolidated Gas.
There seemed to be an entire absence
of commission house buying, and Lon
don, although prices of Americans had
been advanced In that market, re-
Trained from operating in this market.
The course Of the foreign exchange
market with reference to the easier
money conditions abroad. was closely
cables were seen to be yielding, 1t af-
forded considerable relief from appre-
hension of gold exports. The fact that
the Bank of England refrained from
advancing its rate of discount, was
taken as evidence that the threatened
money stringency is about over at that
point.
Money worked easier in New York,
bat continued above the rates at in
terror points. But there was some
growth Of conviction that money was
not to become cheap for a considera-
BILE period yet, owing to the needs Of
the very active trade and the coming
movement of the crops. The heavy
increases Of banking deposits at some
Of the large financial centres of the
country, are now understood to be due
to the great combinations Of industries
and the resulting readjustments in
business methods, which have, it Is
believed, reduced resources at num-
Der of smaller points in a degree cor
responding to the increase at the great
centres.
There was some continued uneasiness
also over evidences of unrest am ngst
| wage earners. The strength of the To-
cal traction stocks helped to dissipate
this feeling. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and Manhattan gained about point

stock sold also ex-rights of subscrip-

No Life, But Is

VERY QUIET IN BOSTON.
Bank of England Discount
Rate Not Adj
vanced.

Stock market trading showed little
improvement in volume, but prices
ruled steady to firm yesterday.
The Bank Of England did not adj
vance its rate Of discount further,
which action had been feared, and this
causes much relief. 1t practically dis
poses of gold exports as a market fac
tor. Had financial conditions in Lon
don necessitated further advance in
the bank rate, to four per cent, 1t is
highly probable that we should have
exported gold. Our large supply and
European demand consequent upon
the firmer working of the money mar
kets abroad would have made 1t adj
vantageous to ship the metal from
this side. Fortunately it appears that
the monetary pinch abroad has passed
and having rounded the semi annual
period of disbursements, there is good
reason for belief that our home bank
reserves will build UP rapidly, that the
wholesale increase of loans will cease
for time, and that the banks will get
into good condition against the autumn
crop movements. With the fear of
gold shipments removed, at least in
great measure, by the conclusion of the
Bank Of England not to advance its
rate of discount further, the stock
market situation is relieved and it will
not be surprising il some signs of in
creased animation are shown ere long.
1t looks as if whatever animation is
supplied to the market between now
and the autumn must come from the
traders themselves with the backing Of
the large interests which are under the
market holding it against reawakened
public interest 1t Is a period of pub
lie apathy; there has been a great
manufacture of new securities this
year, mainly industrials, 1t is true, but
involving immense amounts of cap
ital and great digestive power on the
part Of investors; there is a pause in
the eagerness to subscribe for the new
ventures, and careful discrimination
is shown towards the new propositions.
In Boston there is reason to believe
that all of the recent fioatations have
not been so entirely successful as an
ficipatsd, and In some cases the agree
ments OF underwriters may mean
practical participation in floating the
enterprises concerned. On the other
hand. certain of the new trade com
bina4ions brought out here undeniably
have been pronounced and emphatic
successes.
Yesterday there were few marked
features. but q general hardening took
place. with the average Of leading
stocks X higher than at the close We'd
nesday.

on the Boston exchange yesterday on
stocks held in Worcester and vicinity:

QUALITY AND NEWS

Fame and Excellence Are Deterns1s
ing Factors in ssccessful DeveloD"
uent-One Of the Important Fune.
fiona Of High-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases OF
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation Of as great value in their ad-
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication Of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame OF
4 product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
poris and cities of Europe, Asia and Al
rica, 1t becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points OF ex-
cellence on which so great a success Is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup OF Figs
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical Journals and newspapers OF
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t IL
now well known that Syrup of Figs Is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proyed by the most emineSt physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and ef-
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel we'll and are
wen informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get its
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

As to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name Florida to the territory now
known by that name. the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes
from an old book published in 1869:
Gave it the name of Florida because
it was first seen in Easter, called Pas
qua de flores in the language of his
country, or rs Herrera alleges, bece use
it was covered with flowers and the
most beautiful blossoms" And the
Farmer add: "Those who have
seen the Easter season in Florida and
the wealth of flowers which still CON-
mclnoratc and adorn its return, can
we'll believe that both these reasons in.

SOUTHERN 0LEANlNGS.
Money In Southern Mills.


The New York Evening Post is try
ing to frighten the New England spin.
ncrs who desire to move heir machin-
cry to the cotton fields If the south.
1t says:
"The cotton manufacturers of New
England have been much disturbed by
the competition of southern mills. par
ticularly in the coarser grades OF
goods. Their southern rivals hire
cheaper hands who could be employed
more hours day and who were not
controlled by labor organizations.
Some northern manufacturcrsconclu
ed that the only thing to do was to
build mills in the south themselves,
and such plants have been established
by capital from this part of the coun-
try. But the movement has been
checked and great corporation OF
Manchester, n. H.. has just abandoned
scheme to begin operations in the
south. The reason is the discovery
that the conditions in the south re-
garding wages, hours of work and Ia
Dor unions are steadily approaching
those in the north. the strike for high
er pay, shorter days and the control OF
the industry by the employe having al
ready been domesticated even as far
away us Texas.
We simply note these signs of the
times as worthy the attention OF
thoughtful men. They show how read
lily things in the business world have
changed during the past few years.
how universally these changes prevail
and how sweeping is the influence OF
the tremendous forces which are at
work." But nevertheless the mills
continue to come. All southern mills
are making money for their owners.
Another Large Dividend.
Says correspondent of the Textile
Excelsior: ut has bee reported in the
columns of several different papers that
a certain mill in Georgia had declared
a o. per cent. dividend, of which sS
per cent. was in stock, and 10 per cent.
in cash: and the report goes on to say
that this beats the worlds record.
Now this may beat the worlds record
OF what has bees reported, but does
not beat the record of what has been
done. There is another cotton mill in
Georgia. not 200 miles away from this
mill, that declared 10 per cent. divi-
dend the past year, of which 100 per
cent. was in stock, and 10 per cent. in
cash. ! do not know whether this
beats the worlds record of what has
been done, but it beats anything that
has been reported"
