1t took only half an hour at the
opening of the markets here to-day to
exhaust the buoyancy caused by news
from China, and during the remainder
of the session dealings were on a small
scale with an inclination in prices to-
ward heaviness.
London began in Americans by con
tinuing to buy quietly, but stopped
these operations on noticing the
steady sales in New York.
The bank sold $1,000 gold in French
coin and lost $500 for export.
A good business in loans and dis
counts was done by the bank, the rates
being 3h@3 per cent, which is reas-
sorting its control of the market.
Silver was quoted officially at 2Sa,
but late dealings were at 285s.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is caused BY constitutional
remedies. Deafness is eau &c by an in
famed condition of the niue us lining
of the Eustaehain Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have II rumbling
sound or imperfect | earring, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten
are caused by eatarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mu-
eous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by calarrhl

From first hand sources it is learn
ed that the Rush creek developments
lead the Arkansas zinc field. This
refers both to development of mines
and to general improvements. Par
ties who had not been in the Rush
creek country for three months de-
clare the present change is almost
magical, To the activity of all its
mines is added the side feature of
tents fiocking the gulch wherever the
eye is turned, and of buildings going
up as fast as carpenters and
contractors can get material
on the ground. 1t is another
foretaste of what assurances of out
let will do for our mining camps,

Dowager and Emperor
Trekking Westward

London, Sept 5.--The edict address
ed to III Hung Chang In the name Of
the Chinese Emperor and dated Au-
gust 10, en- route to Isl Yuen Flu. ex-
plains that although the foreign pow
ers have given assurance that their
only object In bringing troops to the
capital Is the suppression OF disorder
and that no harm is intended to the
imperial house, the Emperor has felt
II his duty, In view of the dangers ap-
pretended from the assault on Picking,
to comply with the wishes OF the En-
press Dowager and accompany her
westward, after instructing Yung Lu.
Hsu Tung and Tsung Chi to remain In
the capital and continue to carry on
the Government.
The Times, commenting upon this
news, which Is reported by Its cores
pendent In Shanghai says that II II be
genuine 1t shows that the movements
of tn etitular sovereign are still direcr-
ed by the imperial will Of the Empress
Dowager, to whose initiative and SUP
port the outbreak Of the Boxer move
ment is attributed.
The Standards correspondent In
Tien Tsin sends an account of the ar
rival of the first party of refugees from
Picking Most of them were American
missionaries. The journey to Tien
Tsin by boat occupied four days. No
hostile Chinese were encountered on
the way, but II was impossible for the
refugees to take rest and all the par
ty seemed completely worn out.
From the stories told by these re:-
ugees. 1t would seem that the reports
which had been circulated regarding
the sufferings Of the inmates Of the To-
cations during the siege were exagger-
ated. Nobody actually went hungry
and the chief strain on the besiege1
was the constant fear lest the enemy
should rush the defenses.
