THR NEWS AND OBSERVER WEDNESDAY MORNING MAY 80 100

hundred pounds in the price of refined
sugar was the occasion of the strength
in the stock. The American Company led
in the avance and its competitors in the
trade quickly followed Wall Street gave
much attention to the movement of rep
resentativcs of the various companies,
as bearing on the problem whether the
rival interests had or had note ONE to an
agreement for a settlement of the trade
war The moderate price movement in
the stock in view of the news seemed to
indicate that the short interest had been
largely eliminated. After advancing
something over two points, profit taking
turned the price backwards. London
bought stocks here to the extent of 20 900
shares, Louisville being in special de-
mand for that account. This buying gave
the opening tone to the market and was
based on the favorable war news and
the easier money conditions in London.
The eve of a holiday invariably leads to
the closing up of accounts and buying for
the shorts was an element of strength
today. Some relief was felt at the non
occurrence of the further financial diff
difficulties. The iron and steel stocks
were strong led by American Steel Hoop
on the favorable annual statement. Con-
firmation of reports of an arrangement
for the absorption of Standard Gas by
the Consolidated Gas Company was a
favorable influence.
Railroad earnings so far as reported,
were good. The room traders were dis
posed to the bull side on the general
view that the market was due for a
rise in view of the firmness displayed in
the face of the two brokerage failures
last week and this, Notwithstanding these
various elements OF strength, it cannot
be said that the sentiment for an ad-
vance was very deep rooted Uneasiness
continues over the reactionary tendency
of business and especially over the de-
cline in freight traffic and we'll defined
reports of cutting of rates. The need
of rain in the spring wheat belt is also
cause Of anxiety.
The bond market was very dull and the
price movement irregular. Total sales
(par value), $1,535,O00.
United States bonds were unchanged
in bid quotations.
The total sales of stocks today were
$50. 800 shares, including the following:

TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED.

Concerning a Method of Curing Dyspep-
STA and Stomach Troubles.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are consid-
cred incurable by many people who do
not realize the advance made in modern
medical science, and because by the old
methods and remedies a cure was rarely,
if ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as
any other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
thing to assist the weak stomach to d.
gest it. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
they cure the worst cases of Dyspepsia
in other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets digest it for him. In this way
the system is nourished and the over
worked stomach rested, because the tab
lets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these tab
lets will digest 5000 grains of meat or
eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is a remedy sold
on its merits and is the purest, safest
and cheapest remedy sold for stomach
troubles, and every trial makes one more
friend for this excellent preparation.

New York, May 29-Dry goods The
market today has continued quiet in all
departments. The export demand for
heavy brown cottons has been on small
Ter scale than of late and there has been
no expansion in home buying. Bleached
cottons and coarse colored goods also
slow of sale at prevailing prices. There
has been no demand for print cloths at
the new Fall River price of SIC. Prints
are quiet. Some new fall fancy calicoes

New York, May 29.--Much of the i'm
provement scored within the past few
days in cotton futures was wiped out
within the first hour today under very
active selling by all branches of the
trade and irresistible bear influence. The
opening figures which showed decline
CT from three to nine points were about
top for the day, and while there were
occasional periods of steadiness on fur-
ries of profit taking, the general ruling
of the market was weak and the trend
of prices steadily downward.
Within the first hour the opening
break was increased to matter OF from
eight to ten points while later in the
session another spell of weakness car
ried prices off nine to twenty-five points
from last nights level. The dominating
influence was weakness in the English
cotton market, where both spot and flu
ture delivery cotton suffered severely
from heavy selling pressure. The Euro
pcan speculative element was influenced
by good crop weather reports from the
South together with liberal offerings OF
spot cotton in the belt at lower prices.
The New Orleans market was relatively
the weakest on the list owing to active
bear speculation prompted by exception
ally good weather and crop statements
and reports of additional reductions in
spot quotations throughout the belt.
There was notable increase in commits
sion house trading.
The market closed easy on. near months
and steady on far months, with prices
nine to twenty-five points net lower.

"As we put to sea-" says Captain
Younghusband in his book on Japan,
eve passed a sunken steamer, the An
glia, and afterward heard the CHASTITY
story of her loss. She touched sand
bank, heeled over and capsized in q
few seconds. but the water was not
deep. and one side of her remained
above. The majority of the passengers
and crew got off in boats or on floating
spars. but a few were caught below
in her cabins.
1--WE have often read of martyrs of
old who were tied to posts in the sea
and left to drown by inches with the
rising tide. Imagine, then. the fate
of these poor fellows. The portfolios
were just large enough for a man to
put his head through, but no more.
The ship was of iron. and to enlarge
the holes in the time available was an
impossibility. though an attempt was
made with cold chisels. The boats
from another ship came alongside and
handed food and drink to the doomed
men and gave them such encourage
ment as was possible.
but the tide rose inch by inch, and
at last the time arrived when it seemed
better for all that the boats should
leave, for to remain was but to pro-
long the agony on both sides. Some Of
the imprisoned cursed and foamed al
the mouth with anguish. Some prayed.
Some. in the cold sweat of despair. be-
sought the boats crews to shoot them
ere they left. Sadly and silently the
boats slipped away The tide rose.
and the last shrieks Of the dying MEN
sank into the sigh or the rising waves"

A famous steeple climber was ask
ed if he ever felt fear in his business.
"Of course | feel fear at times" he
answered. Fear is common to all
mankind. Not to feel fear is not cour-
age. To overcome fear is the true quail
ty of courage. l divide the nerve force
of a man into two parts the impelling
force and the restraining force-the
same impelling force that causes a
body of recruits at first to run under
fire and the restraining force that
causes them to overcome for various
reasons the first natural fear. So, in
climbing, one unused to it is by the
natural impelling force of his nervous
system afraid, afraid that his legs, his
arms, his support, will give way and
plunge him down. Shakespeare, who
touched on all human emotions, touch
I'd on this feeling of fear in high places
when in King Lear he pictured Ed
ward at the cliffs of Dover.
1.-THE one way to get over the natural
fear is by some restraining force from
either within or without. l remember
once when new boy at sea was or
dered aloft by the mate he trembled
with fear and begged to be let out Of
it. Upon my soul, sir, can't go up
there This was his first impelling
impulse. But when the mate touched
him up with a ropes end he was at the
top of the mast so quick that the mate
could not follow him. The pain on his
outer nerves brought him to his senses
and made him exert his restraining
force. So if you happen to be with
any one who shows signs of fear in a
high place a few smart slaps on the
face will bring him to himself. The
right medicine for unconquerable fear
in a high place is immediate pain on
the outside nerves. Boston Tran

The most trustful people in the world
in money matters are the Irish. A
stranger can go into any shop and get
a check cashed without the least diff
Guilty, though the proprietor never saw
him before and never heard of the
drawer. Bank notes are very largely
used, as almost every bank In the coun-
try issues notes worth 81, e, f3, 20
and upward, and they are all looked
upon as being quite as good IS gold.
But Bank of England notes,Neyen in
the large towns, are looked upon with
suspicion, while in remote places peo-
pie won't take them at all. 1t is Nid
that this suspicion of English notesN &
hereditary.
From the time of James ii up to 70
yeaFs ago the law was such with re-
gard to currency that IL an Irishman
wanted to pay f10O in England he had
to remit ELS Is. 3d., while if he were
being paid a debt by an Englishman
he received only fS5. Naturally he
thought rather badly of English money,
and In the 1870 years during which this
state of things continued the Irish peo-
ple became so deeply convinced that
John Bull was cheating them that they
stin regard the Bank Of England as
corporation of robbers.
