1T COSTS NOTHING
To See Our Pianos and to Get Our p

To See Our Pianos and to Get Our Prices,
But it may cost you whole lot if you
buy a piano without doing so. We sell
pianos, of the same grades, from $50
to 500 less than others do. We are
not agents for some big house, but are
the big house itself. We are the only
piano dealers in Sacramento who buy
and ship in carloads, direct from the
factories. We sell nothing but pianos,
and carry a larger stock than all other
stores together. We have Hardman,
Conover, Harrington, Ellington and
other pianos. See US before you buy,
unless you have money to burn. Wiley

Human Ignorance.

A child was asked to name the princi-
pal organs of the human body, and this
was his reply: The organs of the body
are the heart, lungs and other utensils =
The ignorance Of many adults about the
human body is actually appalling. Con-
stipation is considered nothing. Indiges-
ton is annoying, but nothing serious.
Biliousness brings melancholy, but then
luck is blamed and not the liver. A dose
of Hostetters Stomach Bitters would
quickly show these people where they
stand. This is the medicine which has
been known as the dyspepsia conquerer
for the last fifty years. 1t will cure your
stomach trouble quickly and easily Get
it and see for yourself. See that private

Louis Dossenbach Imagines There
is Money Due Him.

who showed marked evidence of insan
ity, was arrested by Officer Bailey yes
terday and locked up for safe-keepins
Dossenbach was imbued with the idea
that $4,000 was due him from some

Office waiting for him.
When searched at police headquarters
his pockets were found to be loaded
with cobbles, bits of broken bottles, etc.
He will be examined as to his sanity

BRAVE. THOUGH A PRISONER.

When true hearted men in North
and South met and understood each
other, there was never real eamlty
between them. A certain Virginian
lived near the field of Mechanicsville
where Mcclellan fought one Of his
severe battles In the summer of 1862
This man went out to the field, after
the Northern troops had retired from
il. and noticed a little fellow lying
wounded, in the hot sun. As he look
ed pityingIy at the boy, the young fei-
low gained courage to make a request:
"Neighbor, won't you give me q
drink OF water? I'm very thirsty
"Ot course I WILL said the man, and
he brought the water.
The little fellow was encouraged by
this. and be asked again:
Wont you get me taken to the hos
pita.? I'm badly wounded
We'll, now, my boy said the man
"if get you taken care (, and you
are well enough to go home again, arr
you coming down here to fight me and
my folks once mora? How about
that?"
1t was a hard test for wounded
prisoner, but the boy stood it. He
looked his captor firmly in the eye
and said:
"That l would. my friend
i Il tell rou,' said the V'rginian after
ward, liked his pluS had tina,
hoy to the hosp. and he had

METAL.

New York, March 3.-The market
shows signs of softness in several de-
partments and buyers on all sides man
ifest less uneasiness than has been the
case in several weeks if not months.
One reason for this change OF temper
is that the cable news Of late has proved
more pessimistic the foreigners refus-
ing to folio wour skyrccket advances.
Advices from primary points have also
been less reassuring to sellers here At
the close the metal exchange called pig
iron warrants unchanged at SO rs bid

SIT so bid and ST. rs asked; tin quiet
at S24 90; lead easy at 81 221a bid and

for lead is still 81 10 and for copper

selling, and the market ruled dull
within a narrow range, May closing
&c higher. Corn left off shade low
er and oats were &c higher. Pork
declined sc and lard and ribs closed
unchanged.
Mild and rainy weather, to be fol-
lowed by cold wave, together with
independent strength OF the foreign
markets were the items OF informa-
ton from which traders imbibed the
slight decoction Of bullish spirit that
was indicated by a quarter cent ad-
vance in the price OF May wheat at
the start. Argentine shipments during
the week amounted to 1,432 Zoo bush
e-s wheat compared with 1,2JG coo BUSH
els the week before. this increase
had a beaTish effect upon the crowd,
but the news from country correspond
eLts to commission houses concerning
the condition OF wheat was generally
bad and held an extensive selling IN
check. Chicago received 107 cars, of
which only one was graded contract.
Minneapolis and Duluth got 4T0 cars,
compared with 313 for the correspond
ing day last year Atlantic port clear
bushels. The northwest estimated an
increase i'll stocks Of wheat of 100000
bushels, and it was thought the visible
would not show much cnange for the
week. Advices from California were
to the effect that the rains the bears
have been making SC much Of here, did
not fall where wheat Is grown to any
extent, and that the drought still con-
tinued with prices ruling at a sharp
advance in consequence. The LEGAL
market was exceedingly dull through
out AMI fluctuations ere con ined with
in the limits OF 723sQ73Bc, closing at
73c buyers.
Corn was firm within narrow limits.
Small country offerings, coupled with
heavy clearances at the seaboard,

were moderate, 1926 cars. May opened
a shade lower at 1854 @36sc, rose to

closed at 36A@36Bc.
A very dull session was passed in
the oats market. There was no de-
mand to speak of, and the offerings
were very small. Receipts were lib
efal, 1874 cars. May began &c higher
at 2SAc, declined to Csc, and closed at
2S15c sellers.
Provisions were somewhat heavy
and slow with the range as narrow rs
it could be- Local spectators did
very little and outsiders nothing, or
as near the cipher point as business
ever gets.
Estimated receipts for Saturday:
Wheat, 81 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats,
1870 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

the long account. Burlington, Atchl-
con preferred, Sugar, and the steel
stocks, with the cessation Of long stock
coming out, became decidedly firmer.
Brooklyn Transit was strong because
of the announcement that stock issued
to acquire another company had been
absorbed by a syndicate. st. Louis
Southwestern preferred was decidedly
strong and there were a number of ad-
vances among the specialties, including
Consolidated Gas, Metropolitan Street
Railway, General Electric. American
Tin Plate and Tobacco. The upward
manipulation of the latter stock, which
reached 1877, was on the theory that it
would have monopoly OF the trade by
its acquisition of the Union Tobacco
Company. The success of the Chicago
& Alton deal was the subject
of favorable comment because Of the
beneficial effect ON the general railroad
situation, which, it w5s assumed, would
result from the deal Out of town
houses were purchasers except those
in the East, which both bought and
sold. Arbitrage houses disposed OF
some 10000 shares, portion OF which
they repurchased. A delay in cable
service had a restricting effect upon
the arbitrage business. While there
was a little activity on the part Of the
commission houses, the bulk of the
days operations appeared to be pro-
fessional. Some room traders faneied
that from the nature of the dealings
interests which had recently marketed
large lines of Burlington and Atchison
preferred repurchased some of their
former holdings. The sudden call of
$10,000,000 from subscribers to the new
baking powder combination carried the
leaning rate of call money sharply up
ward, small amount being loaned as
high as AZ per cent. This circum-
stance was reflected in the very weak
sterling market.
Some irregularity occurred On to-
days bond market, which, however,
did not impair the general undertone
of firmness. Louisville, Evansville &
st. Louis fives were again the feature,
rising points and practically losing
the advantage. Total sales, $3.50, 900,
United States new threes, new tours
and the threes registered advanced Is
in the bid price.
The total sales CT stocks to-day were
$40, 300 shares.
