of railroad earnings and especially of
net earnings. These factors pass for
nothing for the time being; but it
does not follow that no note is being
taken of them for future reference.
The impression seems to be quite. gen
eraI that a basis is being laid by cur
rent conditions fer an active market
and a considerable rise in prices at a
later stage. Certain conditions, how
ever, unite to make a vigorous bull
movement inopportune for the time
Icing, but increased activity in the
general market resulting in higher
range Of prices may be expected from
now onward It is perhaps many years
since there have been 50 many alb
sentees from Wall Street as during
the present summer. Also the local
market is in too uncertain q condition
to encourage excessive bold buying.

September and October. Indeed, such
a meager surplus would certainly pro
duce a strong reactionary tendency
were it not that the large accumula-
ton OF money at ether banking cen
tiers suggests a possibility that the
drafts of the grain states upon New
York may prove TO be materially less
than the former average. And the lat
est statistics issued by the comptroller
of the currency certainly give consid-
cradle countenance to that probability.
The increase in reserves is general
throughout the country, New York
city being the principal exception. The
condition of the reserves of the differ
ent classes OF national banks in July
has been as follows for the last three
years:
New York, Chicago and St Louis,
July. 1899. $3.50. 900; July, 1898,
S245, 617 600; July. 1897, $2O7, 900.

600; July. 1898. $3.50. 756. 900; July,
1897, s2S9, POS, 600.
This comparison shows that, in July,
the reserves of the other reserve
cities and of the country banks com
bined were s1O7. S91, 900 or 1872 Fer
cent, greater than at the same month
of 1897 Al New York, the increase
over last year is only about per cent.
These figures show that this city can
ill afford to part with any considerable
amount of money for marketing the
crops; but they also indicate that the
interior is not likely to need anything
like the amount of help from New
York that has usually been found
necessary. This probability seems

A GroCer'S Interest Is to Fur

the contrary. It is believed that a ma

furnish their patrons with really pure
and nourishing food.

A Famished Cats Prudence.

At Usage City Mrs C. A. Stodard
was cleaning up her garnet when by
some means the family cat got into an
old trunk filled with clothing and was
shut in tight and fast Just 30 days
later Mrs. Stcdard was in the garnet
again and heard the cats feeble cry
from the trunk. When the lid was lift
ed, the cat had just strength, enough to
climb out. 1t had torn the clothing in
the trunk all to pieces in it's clawing
and had gnawed the sides nearly
through in several places. But perhaps
the most singular circumstance was
found in the manner in which the cat
took care of itself after securing liberty.
Mrs. Stodard set before it big dish OF
milk and a big dish of water. It would
lap little Of each and then lie down
for a few minutes, when again it would
partake sparingly of the milk and wa
ter, and this preceding it continued
through the whole afternoon If that
cat had been a human, doubtless il
would have swallowed all that was
placed before it at one gulp. kansas

Eat Sand For Dyspepsia.

The English, according to Science
Pour Tout, have adopted quite an orig
inal plan. In many houses, on the table
by the side Of the pepper box and the
salt box il placed sand box-a little
receptacle filled with very fine sand, as
fine as -four. which is sprinkled over
all the food. A medical journal has adj
yised dyspeptics to adopt this remedy.
The sand, mingling with the alimen-
tary mass. rsnders it less compact and
makes digestion more easy. This has
become the fashion, and since the Eng
lish have begun to eat sand lis certain
that French snobs who initiate their
neighbors across the channel like mon
keys will soon be devouring it. Besides,
gravel for digestive purposes has been
in use by osGriches for a long time.

Two Pigtailed Celestials Who Were
Tabooed by the Town. '.T -
Every well known nationality except
| the Chinese is represented in Leadville.
Only two Celestials ever entered the
camp, and the story Of their short stay
is unique and interesting. There wasn't
much of demonstration on their ar
rival, for it was late at night when
they climbed down from the roof of one
Of the coaches into the busy streets and
hastily surveyed the strange surround
ings.
Word was whispered about in the
dives with which the street was lined,
and soon the pigtails were encompassed
with quiet and gentlemanly mob Of
perhaps hundred miners and hoboes.
Scarcely word was spoken, but as
soon as the luggage of the passengers
and the mails were taken from the boot
of the Concord the China boys were as
sisted to the seats they had just vacat-
ed, the driver was given a tip and the
distinguished arrivals were whirled out
of town in much quicker time than
they had entered it, for it was down
hill pull to Malta, the nearest settle
ment down the gulch. There they were
left TO shift for themselves as best they
might.
What means of communication with
each other these strange little people
have know not. but the news Of the
reception that was ten$ered to the first
representatives CT their race to visit
Leadville Travelled rapidly, and the fact
soon came to be understood by them,
