two bottles Of Electric Bitters, she is wonder
fully improved and able to do her own work. -

The Flower stocks were again this
morning the leaders of the advance. as
was suggested in this column. Peoples
Gas was especially active and buoyant
with an advance of two points in the first
hour. Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the
Federal Steel issues were all strong and
all reached higher levels than any attain
ed since Saturday. The reasons why these
stocks should take the lead of the upward
movement are numerous and sound, and
it is confidently predicted that all of these
stocks can be bought on fair margins for
much higher prices within the next two
weeks. Chicago Gas is an instance of the
fine backing Snese stocks are receiving.
The tumble on Saturday was from better
than l2O on the day before to 1o1. Before
noon today the stock was above 116, with
the best prospect Of going higher in short
order.

The opening and first two hours of the
stock market this morning were confident
and strong in tone, and the bulls imme-
diately began TO preach higher prices again.
There is good reason for believing, how
ever, that the strong and steady advance
has not yet begun. The effects of the
slump of Saturday are net yet worn of, and
it is not 10 be supposed that the market
will change in its character for a few days.
There will in all probability be fiuctuat-
ing traders market. with a tendency.
however, upward, and especially in the
Flower stocks. 1t would be well under the
circumstances to buy stocks on the de-
clines and sell them when they are well up.
People who understand the possibilities of
the situation caution strongly against sell
ing short as this course may at any time
lead to complications that will be more
radical than pleasant.

The grangers were strong, all making
advances in the early trading. Wheat had
a tendency to lower price in the first
sales, and this probably acted as a tonic
TO this group of stocks, which have fol-
lowed the fortunes of wheat so closely in
the past month. There is less bullish SEN
timent regarding the grangers than any
other group of stocks, but people familiar
with the railroad properties themselves
express the opinion that the bears are like
ly to be fooled If they expect to see Atchi-
son sell below so and St. Paul below 100.

sTABLEMEN QUIT WORK.
street Railway Employees Dissatis-
fed With Longer Hours.

A number of the s.abemen employed by
the Metropolitan Railway Company at its
stable corner of East Capitol and Thir-
teenth streets, east. resigned yesterday af
ternoon on account of an increase of their
hours from nine TO twelve. The entire day
force of car shiftecs, numbering eight or
ten men left. Their places were taken tenn
porarily by other employees at the stable
and the vacancies have now all been filled.
There was no delay in the running of the
cars. The men state that they have never
worked more than nine hours and they
consider it an imposition to increase their
hours without corresponding increase in
pay.
They state that their hours have been
during the busiest part of the day when
the cars were running on the closest sched-
ule, and that their work has been harder
than that of the night force, whose shift
is twelve hours.
1t is not believed that the men will at
tempt to induce other employees of the
Metropolitan to join them in their strike.
The statement made by the Metropolitan
people is that it was necessary to increase
the hours of the day shift in order to cover
the entire twenty -four hours of the day
with the two forces. An officer of the line
made the following statement to reporter
for The Times this morning:
"A condition of things has existed here
tofore which was unjust to the night force
and most inconvenient to the line. One
force has worked nine hours and the other
twelve and their pay has been the same.
During three hours of the twenty-four We
have had no train shifters and have been
obliged to press other employees about the
stables into this service. We notified the
day force that their hours would be increas-
ed to cover the extra three hours and they
declined to accept these terms and left in
a body That is all there is in the matter.
Their places have been filed
Enquiry was made this morning also re-
garding rumor that several men had left
the City and Suburban line for the same
cause, but both officers and employees of
that line stated that the men are very we'll
