FURRY IN STOCKS Is OVER
Solid Men of the street Stand Ready
to supp6ft the Market If
Necessary.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Speculation in the
Stock exchange today was expected to reflect
more clearly to What extent public apprehen-
sion has been excited by the death Of the
recognized leader in the street. Saturdays
market was of TOO brias duration to convey
fully the probable course of stock values in
the neer future. During the interval over
Sunday abundant opportunity was afforded
for the substantial interests in the market
to outline a program which would insure
the STABILITY of prices and preserve public
confidence. While it was universally con-
cedsd chat an immense amount of gilt-edged
STOCKS and bonds had to be sacrificed on
Saturday to protect commitments in the spe-
cialues, it was asserted that these securi-
ties We're absorbed by investment buyers
who ere not Influenced by the spasmodic
onslaughts Of the bears.
The opening to day was characterized by
comparative duIiness and prices f~avoring a
high levsl. 1t seemed to be the policy of the
reputed hacker of the market to let it map
out It's own course for a time, but they
stood ready to lend effective assistance in
sustaining prices. Feverishness soon devel-
oped, but the variations did not exceed a
point except in the specialties, where reali-
cations and short sales at times made an
impression on prices. The stability of the
standard stocks excited favoreble comment,
and the opinion in the street appeared TO
be that the furry was over, the market
failing into q~uietade after the opening.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 15.-(Special.) }
During the present trip Of inspection of
General Manager Dickinson and Chief En-
gineer Berry of the Union Pacific consider
able time was spent at Dale creek bridge,
three miles west of the summit of the noun
taiu, at Sherman and an investigation made
as to the feasibility Of filling up the deep
gorge which the bridge spans. The bridge
is 1872 feet high and 900 feet long and is
maintained at great expense, while all trains
have to run over it at very slow rate of
speed. 1t is believed the filling in Of this
gorge is one of the important improvements
to be made by the Union Pacific in the
general improvement of its main line.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant TO the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

IRRIGATION STATISTICS.
They VIII Be Compiled with Utmost
Care and Completeness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o-A special eff
fort will be made by the division of agri-
culture of the twelfth census of the Unit
ed States to collect and tabulate important
data relating to irrigation in the arid and
semi-humid regions of the United States.
A preliminary schedule has been prepared
and soon will be sent out to obtain the
names Of corporations and individuals own
ing canals or bitches. A request is made
also for the names Of the principal canals
or bitches in their down stream order, the
bitches to the right Cooking down stream)
being arranged on the first page Of the
list and those heading to the left on the
last page. The principal schedule now in
course Of preparation will be mailed to the
addresses thus obtained, calling for fur
Their data, which will be supplemented by
detailed statistics gathered by the census
enumerators. 1t should be noted by all in
terested in the subject that these various
inquiries of the census officer in no way
conflicts with or duplicates the work with
reference to irrigation which is being con-
Quoted by any other department. The
most nearly related inquiry is that of geo.
logical survey. which like that OF the cen
sus. is under the more immediate direction
OF Mr.. F. II. Newell, special agent for ir-
rigation in the eleventh census and hy-
drographer of the Geological Survey
The volume and value OF statistics II is
stated, will depend very largely upon the
attention and interest shown therein by
those engaged in irrigation, and il is ear
nestly hoped that all to whom the sched-
ules are addressed will appreciate the i'm
portance OF the request and make prompt
reply. as the future development OF this
vast portion of our domain will be greatly
of facts relating to its irrigation, such as
contemplated by the twelfth census.
