The market yesterday was a repetition
largely Of Mondays in its irregularity and
reactionary tendency and in the sharp sell
ing that occurred in the last hour. This
was no surprise to conservative minded
people, for reasons which have been out
lined heretofore in this column. The ques-
tion. how much further, if any, the reces-
sion is TO go, is much more important than
the small declines in prices so far, which
have not hurt prudent people. 1t is GER
tain that there are host of buying orders
waiting for any further declines and that
the large professionals are also now work
ing for higher prices. On the whole. IL
seems reasonable to suppose that today
will be one of better prices. London is
well disposed TO the American shares and
there is nothing OF any kind in the outlook
in the least unfavorable

BILL DALY's CLOSE CALL.
The Old Turfman Charged With
BInclmniIIng nj New Orleans


New Orleans, Jan. 17.-Bll DAILY had
row with the stewards today. and although
he escaped more serious punishment than
q reprimand he had close call. Curicy
Brown, the starter, whose application is
on file with the Jockey Club for the posi-
tiCn this summer, and who is running a
stable Of horses here, felt aggrieyed al
DAILY because the latter refused TO let
O'Connor ride Browns mare, Deyo, in
last Saturdays stake race. and charged
DAILY before the stewards with blaCkuail-
ing.
He based his charge on the ground that
three weeks ago DAILY insisted on Brown
paying the $40 required TO scratch one of
Days horses in race in which Brown
also had a starter The consideration
was that DAILY would let his boy ride
Browns horses. Under the rules Of the
Western turf this is such a serious Of
fence that the stewards only alternative
is TO rule of the offending party. Days
defence was that Brown offered to pay he
scratching fee if allowed to have the boy.
Brown was unable to substantiate his
charge with other witnesses and the stew

A DISCOVERY FOR LOST MANHOOD SENT FREE
TO EVERY SUFFERER WHO WILL
WRITE FOR 1T.
G. B. Wright Was Restored to Health and Makes
a Generous Offer

No one can appreciate these horrors OF
lost manhood except he has suffered them.
No one can help such sufferers except he
knows cure and has himself been re-
stored to full manhood. A notable cure of
lost manhood in an extreme case was eff
fected in the person of George B. Wright.
musical dealer and well-known citizen
of Marshall, Mich. Mr.. Wright for years
suffered the agony OF lost vital power. He
saw his physical powers go from him as
the result of insidious disease until he was
reduced to a condition OF senility, and the
best doctors in the country gave him up to
die.
Like many others, he tried the various
remedies offered by specialists for the
treatment of weaknesses peculiar to men,
and it was this experience that drove him
to little study and research for his own
benefit.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
to unbounded joy in single night through
rare combination OF medicines that lit
orally made him young again. Ii is the
prescription of this discovery that his en-
thusiasm leads HIM to offer free to any
man, young or old, who feels that his ami
nation or the fire of ambition has left him
and needs something that will not only
brace him up and enable him TO be pre-
pared for any undertaking which may pre-
sent itself. but will restore the parts TO
their original size and vigor.
There is no question but what in his in
dividual case the results were just as de-
scribed and it seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scrption. Many people wonder how he
can afford TO send this prescription free,
but 1t costs him but little to do so and he
nh ;,,,n
weak men an opportunity to cure them
selves.

BLOCKED AGAIN.

As our dispatches this morning indi-
cate. the main channel of the 500 canal
is once more blocked, and the traffic on
Lake Superior is temporarily suspended.
This is the Second time during the pres
ent season that that great artery of
Northwestern marine commerce has been
clogged, and that the vast traffic to and
from the head of the lakes has been
brought to a temporary close.
The cause of the present trouble is en-
tightening. One of the fastest and most
powerful Of the modern steamships ply
ing between lake ports sought to pass two
other steamers, slower than itself, in
the channel. There was a collision, and
now all three lie grounded in the path
Of the vast commerce which there finds its
highway.
1t IS gratifying to learn that there is
possibility of the channel being cleared
without having recourse to lighters. 1t
may be that the delay incident to the
unfortunate occurrence may be as great
as, if not greater than that occasioned
by the corresponding accidents of the
past. Whether the delay be greater or
less, it should be said that it involves a
serious reflection on the ability and dis
position Of our national authorities to do
their full duty toward one of the most
vast and far-reaching of the many great
commercial interests which are more or
less dependent on intelligent public ac-
ton
At the current rate of development Of
the shipping commerce of our great in
land sea- it will not be long before the
present capacity of the Sault Ste. Marie
canal is as far behind the demands of the
vast traffic seeking passage through it
as are the Iake-plying craft of twenty
years ago behind magnificent steamers
like the NorthsStar, which now lies help
less and aground in this narrow passage
way. Even when the additional channel
which is in course of construction on the
American side has been completed, we
will still have utterly insufficient and
comparatively primitive provision to ac-
commodate the immense shipping which
traverses St. Mary's river.
There is not a congressman from Maine
to Oregon that should not feel called on
to exert himself to the fullest limit during
the approaching congress to remedy the
shameful condition of affairs represented
by the existing condition. The channel
of the st. Mary's river should be widened
at once so as to enable vessels to pass
and repass two or three abreast if neces-
sary. Such an accident as that which
now places three of the largest steamers
in the lake trade aground and puts an
end, however long or short, to the traffic
on the lakes until they are once more
aioat, ought forthwith be rendered i'm
possible, so far as congress can render
1t impossible. More than that. If nnn-
gress had any understanding of Its ohli-
cations toward the Northwest. IL would
before the expiration of its FIRST session.
in addition, place the project of a passage
way to the ocean from the lakes for YES
sells of heavy burden in a fair way of
being realized in spite of all the opposi-
ton which private interests may have to
offer to that indispensable undertaking.
