THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, March H.-The net
changes in stock prices today were ir-
regular, with mostly losses prevailing.
London quotations induced a lower
range of prices here at the start. Firm
ness in the call money market, which
ranged from to T. was a depressing
influence much of the day, but with
its easing off to S031a before the close,
a rally set in which wiped out earlier
losses in some stocks.
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific.
Atchison preferred and Manhattan were
were under pressure most of the day,
and disturbed confidence among the
other railways, which We're weak on
moderate offerings. The weakness in
Manhattan was perhaps attributable to
anticipation of the new issue of stock.
Fear of the possible failure or de-
sired legislation affected Third Avenue
and Consolidated Gas unfavorably,
while in connection with the latter,
there was also talk of increased com
petition The pronounced strength of
Tobacco, which at one time touched
2143E, was unaccOmpanied by any ex-
planstory news. Sugar displayed CON
siderable tirmness when other points
of weakness appeared, and ended with
a small net advance.
Chicago Terminal, Hooking Coal and
Iron and Union Pacific, Denver and
Gulf. We're features of strength. In
the afternoon rally, the graugers and
the standard shares generally, were
lifted about a point from their low
figure, and retained most of the recov-
cry. leaving them irregularly changed
for the day. The calling of some loans
by the banks for the syndicate, pre-
paratoEy to the Chicago and Alton. due
tomorrow. in connection with the recent
deal, was in a large measure respon-
sible for the strength in call money.
There was reflex easing in Sterling
exchange. due to the strength of money
here. The sales for London account
for the day were estimated at $4,000
shares. The market closed firm. There

AMERICANS IN SANTIAGO.
Correspondence of the Chicago Re
Ord)

Ord.)
The Americans are naturally the
wonder and amazement of the Santiago
natives. The entire nervous system of
the city is daily being shocked by the
new sights and the new events since
America took possession. The people
here are accustomed to a very formal
way of speech and action. They walk
as II every step were studied, and the
more enlightened talk with the utmost
Dreciseness. The free and easy going
way of the visitors is astounding ia
them. The American comes out with
his hearty laugh, not caring who is
around, and the dainty senoritas look
at one another in Wonderment.
An American girl is the most inter
esting Of all sights to them. They
watch her in silent amazement from the
time she appears in view until she has
turned the corner. They seem to
think the American woman the most
wonderful of all earthly objects The
Santiago women, no matter how hot
the day, always dress in black when
they appear on the Plaza de Arma at
ia tarde" for the usual evenings pro-
menade. The other evening an Amer
lean girl was there, in a blood red cos
tune, made of some kind of thin, flow
ing gauze material. She promenaded
with young United States officers. and
the rising of the sun at midnight would
not have attracted more attention. But
the thing which threw the whole city
into commotion was the appearance
Of a young American girl on the plaza
riding a wheel and wearing q white
costume with a short skirt. Such a
thing as a girls riding a wheel was
never before dreamed Of in Santiago.
This fair cyClist was doubtless out
for the purpose Of having a little fun,
and she succeeded in astounding the
natives with an event they would talk
about for a lifetime under usual condi-
tons. No less amazed was Santiago
society when Chicago woman appear
ed a fashionable reception in full
evening dress 1t was a square neck
decOllete gown Santiago women had
seen such things in pictures, but they
did not believe the Illustrations true to
life until the Chicago belle stood before
them as the living eXemplar

THE GENERAL MARKET.

There are those who say that no mat
ter what may be the trade war Sugar
stockholders will continue to receive
their regular dividens until such time
as the surplus accumulated prior to
Dec. 81. 1897, has been paid away. They
make these statements IN information
that is connected more or less with the
corporation laws of the state of New
Jersey with special reference to the
payment of dividends, and setting
apart Of working capital every year
Consequently there are many who are
quite bulliSh on Sugar and who say
that trade war or no trade war the
stock will sell as high this summer as
at any time.
The highest dividend rate paid by an
English railway is 11a per cent, and the
stock sells at over 200, or at less than
31a per cent basis. One stock, the
Great Western, pays only 37s per cent
and sells at 10. The average basis is
little more than per cent When
it is considered that English railways,
as rule, distribute the bulk of their
earnings in dividends, and at the same
time have not provided themselves
with air brakes and other improve
ments that our railroads have in
stalled the contrast of selling prices
with those of roads in this country is
even more marked. New York Central,
returning less than per cent heads
the list in this respect, but there are
other reasons for the high quotations.
Pennsylvania, returning over S% per
cent, is fairer comparison, while the
granger stocks, earning from to 10
per cent, and laying up enormous sur
plus either in cash or permanent i'm
prOvements are selling far below these
figures.
The superficiality of the reasoning
that was responsible for last weeks
temporary tight money scare in Wall
street is well brought out by the New
York Ftnancier. The stock market
rarely looks beyond the bare figures
of the weekly bank statement, which
at the best only d,mly reflects prevail
ing money conditions, and often are df-
rectly opposite thereto. Thus "yVal1
street scared itself into brief panic
March 4, because TIE bank statement
revealed a loss of $1,000 O09 in reserve.
The real facts disclosed by the state
ment were that one large bank in its
operations with the treasury during tho
previous 10 days had lost that amount
in specie, The majority of the other
banks were actually in better condi-
ton to loan money than on the Sstur-

The Kidney Complexion

The pale, sallow, sunkei-cheeked dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. Sois their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or suf-
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu-
ragia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need a medi-
cine or doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discovery,
Swamp-Root, by sending your address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for

about it, both sent to you absolutely free

CRATER BATHING.
Hazardous Nature of a Californian
Sport That Is Very
Popular


Crater batting is 0Nleading sport in
Mexico and California, where volcano
baths are frequently. taken on account
of their recuperatiTe and invigorating
properties. The bathers do not plunge
into either hot water or lava. as neither
exist in the craters used for baths, nor
do any flames or sulphurous vapors
arise from the hollows. The substance
into which the Volcano bather lowers
himself is ice-cold mud, of the consist
ency of freshly-miXed mortar. These
volcanoes, which are among the won
ders of California, are fairly numerous,
there being 25 in the Mendocino dis
trict, which throw up mud instead of
lava when they are in eruption. The
method of bathing is simple, if not COM
Portable, and is attended with risk. A
sapling, cut from the forests and
stripped of its branches, is placed over
the crater so that it's eXtremities rest
upon firm ground. The bather crawls
along this sapling until the middle of
the crater is reached, and then let's his
body into the mud, and hangs suspend
ed by the hands from the strip of wood.
If this grasp were relaxed by any
chance the bather would in all probable
lty sink into the mud and disappear be-
fore help could be rendered.

In the Second District.

The White River Junction Land
mark is authority for the statement
that Col. Kittredge Haskins of Brat
tlebore, speaker of the house of rep
resentatives during the last session of
the legislature, is candidate for con-
gress from this district A represen-
tative of the Landmark recently had
talk with Col. Haskins, who made the
following reply to reference about
the rumor that he would be in the race
for the governorship next year; Il
am not a candidate for governor, l do
not want the office, but | will be in
the field for the nomination as con-
gresham from this district and will go
in to win" And the Landmark says,
the expression on the speakers face
and the ring of his voice showed he
meant what he said. With Judge L.
NJ. Read in the field this will make
two candidates from Windham county.
That county can always be depended
upon to present a good show of candi-
dates for most any office. 1T is gener-
ally regarded that Hon. Frank Plum.
ley of Mortified will be a candidate
for congress. Lawyers w. p. Stafford
of St. Juhnsbury and Porter II Dale
of Brighton have been mentioned as
available timber for the honor, and how
many dark horses there are yet to APP |
appear is not known. There is liable |
to be a thinning out of the ranks, |
though. when the time comes for &C
tive operations.
