cablegram:
The markets here opened dull but
recovered during the forenoon on the
easier money. They were further slim
uIated by persistent rumors, appended
to yesterday, that the Portuguese gov
eminent has come to an agreement
with Great Britain for the use by the
latter of Delagoa Bay. There was good
home and foreign buying. Portuguese
IS closed good. Consols were 103120
1885 American securities opened
lower owing to the relapse in New
York, but they revived in sympathy
with the other markets. Later New
York was the chief buyer in this mar
ket Closing prices were just under
those of yesterdays close. Louisville
& Nashville was the chief feature.
The Bank of England return was re-
garded as rather unfavorable, but it
had no effect on money rates, which,
as mentioned, were easier to-day. The
bank further replenished its stock of
gold to-day by purchasing &142,OC0 in
bars and $685. 900 in French coin.

The stock market made couple of
feeble and futile efforts to advance this
morning. The lethargy Of the trading
was an invitation to bear aggression
and when a determined leadership de-
velcpe for that fraction the professional
element among the traders was quick
to follow the lead. A single block of
st. Paul of $500 shares was quickly
followed by another of 1000 shares Of
fered by brokers who are usually en-
ployed by the acknowledged bear lead
er. Selling generally all around the
room was the sequence. The two large
blocks Of st. Paul were at 124A and
the price mad fallen to 1884 in a few
minutes. The grangers, New York
Central, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi
cago & st. Louis and the leading high
price specialties were the sufferers.
Brooklyn Transit was under conspic-
uous pressure and dropped to S55s,
Pullman made brilliant advance. of
Sh points on rumors of the coming alb
sorption of the leading competitor which
were denied later. This was an isolat-
ed instance of positive strength.
Louisville was the leader of the early
absortive advance and was rather firm
after having the advance wiped out.
Otherwise the heaviness was quite I'M
form. The news of developments in
South Africa had very little effect on
the market Call money worked a
shade easier and did not touch higher
than per cent. What with last Satur-
days receipts of gold from Europe 9TH
er small secretions of precious metal
from the various sources and the re-
Taxed pressure by the sub-treasury add
ed to the further contraction of loans
which has been made a more favorable
showing is expected from the New
York banks in the Saturdays state
ment But the general outlook in the
money market is considered anything
but favorable. The violent upward
movement Of 1ac on the pound for ster-
ling exchange both for actual rates and
posted rates is regarded as an admon-
ition that an easing of the money rate
here is likely to lead to a demand from
London for gold The weekly state
ment of the bank of England disclosed
a very slight increase of the proportion
of reserve to liability an the state
ment for the same period of the Bank
of France shows a loss of 81, 100000 in
gold while demand for credits has in
creased its loans about $40, 100000. The
sterling exchange rate at Paris drop
ped off an additional Y centime. 1t is
| exceedingly significant that the Bank
Of England parted with some $165, 600
in gold to-day for shipment to Paris,
which city has been looked to from all
| points as the available source for re-
lief for the need of gold. A financial
upset in Italy had a disturbing effect in
all the European money markets. The
sharp upward movement here not only
in sterling exchange but also in French
exchange suggests coming pressure
on this center.
The bond market was moderately
active and shows general declines.

Eaxer-Proof Paopla

Next to consumption, the disease
which kills most Of the worlds in
habitants is malaria. In every hot
country in the world, from Italy and
Australia to America, the deadly
swamp-g germs poison mems blood and
kill them by hundreds and thousands
Many different shapes does malaria
take, and, except the low races OF
blacks, who inhabit the steamy
swamps, few are exempt from Its dead
ly influence. Yet now 1t is known that
there are a few white men on whom
these poison germs have no erect
whatsoever. They never suffer from
ague or chills and fever. Some OF these
have gained immunity in the same
way that vaccination saves one from
smallpox. But the curious fact re-
mains that others are from birth aDso-
lutely fever-proof. No reason can be
assigned for this; 1t is still one OF the
many mysteries of medicine.

Look Was Missing.

A drill sergeant was unpopular
among his men. They found him too
particular. One day he had on hand
a party Of recruits whom he was
putting through the funeral exercise.
Opening the ranks so as to admit the
passage of the supposed funeral cor
tege among them, the instructor, by
way Of practical explanation. walked
slowly down the lane formed by the
two ranks, saying. as he did SO: Now,
I'm the corpse. Pay attention." Hav-
ing reached the end of the line he
turned, regarded the men with scru-
tinizing eye for minute, and then
remarked: Your 'ands is right. and
your 'eads is right. but you aven't
got that look OF regret you ought to
'ave."-Youth's Companion.

Water boils at different tempera-
lures, according to the elevation above
the sea level. In London water boils
practically at PIP degrees F.. at Mu-
mich. in Germany. at 209h degrees; at
the City Of Mexico, in Mexico. at 200
degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an
elevation of $4,000 feet above the level
Of the sea. at $50 degrees. These Diff
ferences are caused by the varying
pressure Of the atmosphere at these
points. In London the whole weight
of the air has to be overcome. In
Mexico 1000 feet above the sea, there
are 1000 feet less of atmosphere to be
resisted: consequently less heat is re-
CURED, and boiling takes place at a
lower temperature.
