Still More Counterieitina.

The secret service has unearthed anoth
er band of counterfeiters. and secured a
large quantity of bogus bills, which are
so cleverly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of be
ing spurious. Things of great value are
always selected by counterfeiters for imi
tation. notably the celebrated Hoste:
ters Stomach Bitters. which has many
dyspepsia. constipation, nervousness, and
general debility. The Btters set things
right i'll the stomach. and when the stom
ach is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the Bit.
ters restores vigor to the weak and debiii
tated. Beware of counterfeits when buy
ing. See that a private revenue starnp
covers the neck Of the bottle.

showed an initial gain Of J1s @Ac over
Saturday at $3.50 Shorts we're buyers,
but trade was nat. There was practic-
ally no outside demand. At the adj
vance scalpers took profits, causing
bit of easiness which endured for a
time, trade being with hardly spark
of life. Announcement Of the heavy
increase in the visible coming later
in the session, Influenced selling by
those who had bought early, the mar
ket turning weak. May closed A@ssc
under Saturday at 69Ac. Primary re-
ceipts were 1855, 800 bushels, compared
with 2,733, 800 last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts for three
days of 1900 cars, against 2,1O9 the cor
responding period year ago. Local
receipts were 80 cars, 10 OF contract
grade. Clearances at the seaboard in
wheat and flour were equal to 458,00O
bushels. New York reported only i've
loads taken for export.
Corn was firm but inactive, the holt
day dullness clinging to the market as
it did to others. An improved inquiry
for shipment was an influence, l00,000

Provisions were firm, in spite of some
liberal selling, some of which was
credited to packers. Provision houses
were the best buyers, but business was
quiet throughout the session. Firm
prices and small receipts at the yards
were factors in the strength. The
liquidation, which was mostly in the
way of profit taking, wore away the
opening gains, but the close was
steady. May pork ranged from s10.35
