STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 19.-The liquidation of
stocks was rather decisively checked to-
day, and, as was to be expected, after
the considerable decline of yesterday and
Saturday, there was sufficient demand
from outstanding shorts to accomplish a
rally in prices. There was no evidence
of any buying outside this narrow profess
sional circle, and the demand dwindled
away to practically nothing as prices rose
an enlarging fraction over last night s
level. The room traders turned to the
long side and attempted to bid up prices
against the shorts, but they met with
very slight success, and late break in
the New York Traction stocks caused a
reaction all around and wiped out pretty
much all of the early gains. The sell

was the most striking evidence of weak

New York. June 19.-The cotton marker

Wet weather in the Mississippi Val

States, together with strong late English
cables. subsequently brought about a
sharp upward movement which carried
August to 8.3S and January to $50.
Shorts became apprehensive of a
ground up" particularly as rumor
gained circulation that the weekly gov
eminent report would indicate poor crop
outlook. But towards midday alarming
war news began to sift in from the Far
East and very friendly weather predic-
tons made their appearance. Shorts
were quick to note the change in infiu-
cnce and more figured as sellers while
considerable amounts of long cotton were
forced upon the market Prices dropped
quickly under this pressure which con-
tinued in the early afternoon. August de-
clined to 830yand January to 1885. The
official statement from Washington was
fully in line with predictions but fell
fat as an influence, the market respond
ing barely two points and then dropping
back to the lowest level of the day
The close was quiet and steady, one
point higher to ten points lower.

1 concluded to try your medicine and
1 can truly say it does all that you
claim for it to do.
Ten bottles of Lydia z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and seven pack
ages of Sanative Wash have made a
new woman of me. l have had no
womb trouble since taking the fifth
bottle. I weigh more than I have in
years; can do all my own housework,
sleep well, have a good appetite and
now feel that life is worth living. I
owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. l feel that it has saved
my life and would not be without it for
anything. I am always glad to recon-
mend your medicine to all my sex, for I
know if they follow your directions,
they will be cured. .'-MRs. ANNIE

WHAT MEN ARE WEARING.

The patterns for fancy cotton waist
coats are mostly in the light brown
5r;us. to be made double breasted,
q dull finish. aud not glazed at all, al
the latter are not half SO smart.
Brown boots are getting darker in
the shade of the leather, and the va
r;etv of leather known as willow
calf il likely to permanently sup
nlant the more brittle Russia leather.
The long vamps SO much in vogue
should always be ordered, but the
very pointed toes, even for those who
ran wear them, are going out of FASH
ion.
Flannel suits will be much worn
AGAIN this summer. but dark patterns
should be chosen for town or suburban
wear. as they do not look shabby near
" as quickly as light shades. By
shabby" reference is not made to a
soiled appearance. but, as flannel will
lose it's shape quicker than tweed,
dark suit slightly out of the original
perfect "hang" is not SO unsightly as
a wrinkled light brown, for instance.
Frock coats are still worn long and
of very dark gray or black. If in the
former, then the material must be
rough. For summer wear tailors are
not "pressing" the lapels, SO when
worn open in the hot weather they
hang better. The "check" button in
side, to fasten the lower button of the
inside flap to. should always be care
fully fastened before buttoning the
coat up, as it will preserve it's shape
20 much longer.
As regards ties for day wear, those
known as four-in-hands. with wide or
"apron- ends, are still in vogue, ant
as the variety of patterns in these are
inexhaustible and of much better de-
signs of silk, they will remain popu-
lar, While on this matter, men should
consider that, in the summer, when
wearing light colored linen waist
coats, dark ties should be worn. With
dark cloth waistcoats they can wear
scarf as light as they like.
Blue serge suits will never go out,
and double breasted coats are becom-
ing more popular this spring than ever,
but should be worn only by slight men;
stout figures should always have single
breasted coats. Only two pockets must
be made outside, the outside breast
pocket being eschewed altogether. Its
convenience Is no recompense for it's
rapid transition to unshapeliness and
shabbiness. Tweed suits must never
be made double breasted.-N. Y. Her
