State bonds inactive.
Railroad bonds irregular.
Stocks-The dullness of to-day's
stock market was almost unrelieved
by any feature of interest until the
last hour, when sharp upward move
ment developed in a number of
specialties. This was sufficient to
create sluggish general recovery in
the market which had fallen consider
ably below last night at some points.
The closing was therefore firm but
dull and the net changes were insig-
nificant, except in handful of stocks.
Sugar led the late advance and moved
VIZ an extreme 35s on the expectation
CT further rise in the price of the
refined product, which is now higher
than for several years past. The mar
gin between the price of the raw and
refined sugar is now sufficient, ac-
eording to the experts, to yield a large
profit on refining. Pacific Mail rose
sharply over Tuesdays high level on
renewed speculation over the benefits
to accrue from transport of military
stores to China. The steel stocks
were generally strong on the encour-
aging view of the Iron Age of the trade
outlook. Steel Hoop and Tin Plate
was especially affected on reports of
renewal of buying demand from their
products. Otherwise the market was
barren of interest. The growing seri-
BUSINESS of the situation in China must
be ascribed as the chief immediate
cause of to-day's dullness. The result
most to be apprehended from the
Chinese war seemed to be the effect
on the money markets of the world.
Io-day's advance from to per cent
on the Bank of England minimum rate
OF discount and the departure of a
steamer bearing over $4,000, 900 in gold
from New York were the impressive
facts which called attention to this
feature of the situation. The Bank of
England in its semi governmental
capacity has used it's own and the gov
eminent resources for some time past
to help the London money market. The
continued demand for gold from the
nank of France apparently did not
affect this policy. But there are now
indications that the French institution
has about satisfied its recuperative
needs.
Sterling exchange at Paris rose an
other half centime to-day and the Bank
of France has renewed its loan expan-
sion. Asthough it had been waiting
for this development, the Bank of Eng
land puts its discount rate one per cent
in spite of repayments to the bank ov
the open market of loans to the extent
of S7,535,000 during the week. The re-
duction in the banks selling price of
gold seems to have beeen made for its
effect on the market for gold, the
French demand showing relaxation.
The bank of England accordingly ap !.
peared in the market as purchaser Of
gold to-day. This seems to clearly
foreshadow a policy of retrenchment
and regeneration on the part of the
English institution. II it is to seek
gold by special inducements the sup
ply will almost certainly be drawn
from New York. To-day's sterling

WHEN PEGGY GOES 70 MARKEr

When Peggy takes her basket up
And off to market goes,
I'm stupefed with wonder at
How very much she knows,
She makes her way between the stalls
And with judicial air
Decides that this is $50 and SO"
And that Is pretty fair"
She knows IL fish are fresh or not,
And, wise as any owl,
She diferentiates between
A chicken and a fowl,
She thumbs the breastbone of the n
And pulls the others legs;
She squints her pretty little eyes
To test the new-laid eggs.
The vegetables must be just right,
For with a critics eye
She scans them, not inclined to pass
Their imperfections by.
She calls the market folks by name;
All, what a lot she knows,
When Peggy takes her basket up
And of to market goes!
When Peggy does the marketing
My heart with pride she fills:
I go along, q useless thing,
Except to pny the bills.

N OF HIS FAMILY.
Thackeray Thought He Had Fouud q
Relative in Philadelhpia.

~Thackeray Thought He Had Tound .
Relative in PHILADELPHIA.
Mrs. Ritchie's recollections Of her
father. William NJ. Thackeray, make
prominent the kindly and genial side Of
the great satirist's character. All who
knew him, indeed, were aware that his
nature was sweet and tender. His
friends felt q strong affection for him.
No n can read his novels without rec.
ognizing the deep humanity which lies
behind his satire.
In Philadelphia. where the novelist
had many friends Of long standing,
anecdotes which never have appeared
In print are still told to illustrate the
kindly bonhomie of the man.
A friend, walking with him down
Chestnut street one morning, stopped
to buy a paper. while Mr.. Thackeray
%sauntered on. By the time the paper
was bought he had disappeared. and
was found seated in a large clothing
shop talking earnestly across the coun-
ter to the proprietor, whose name vas
the same as his own.
II saw 1t on the sign!" ThackeraZ
said, turning to his friend. cit is my
name with the difference of a letter.
That has been dropped by some genera
ton, no doubt. / came in to see if !
could not find a relation. Thackerays
are not abundant in the world, I assure
you!"
The American. who never had heard
of "~Pendennis," finding that his Wis.
itor did not want to buy a coat, was
not anxious to establish kinship, and
let the chance OF his life for distinction
pass.
cit is not every Englishman who
would try to establish relationship
With a tradesman,' his friend said, as
they left the shop.
"But he has my namev' insisted
T%hackeray. "An honest fellow! I ON
quite sure he is one of US, though he
has lost n letter.
There was nothing of the snob in the
nan who named and defined snobbery.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure Deafness. and that is by c%onst,tu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of tho
Eustaclilan Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed Deafness is
the result; and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition.. hearing will be destroyed forever;
cases ont of ten are caused by catarrlh,
which is nothing but an intiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

For nearly thirty years the
people of this. country have en-
treated the government to restore
the money of the Constitution.
The reply which they have receiv-
ed, is a series of recommendations
and acts of legislation, to more and
more ostracise and degrade one of
the precious metals, and to deliver
the control of money into the
hands of the money-lenders. The
time is over for entreaty, both be-
cause justice is not obtainable
from the present administration,
and because justice in this matter
is no longer enough. The con-
dition of affairs requires some
thing more 1t demands that the
entire control of the volume of
money, whether of gold, silver, or
paper, be vested in Congress.
This provision does not necessarily
affect the existing privilege of the
banks to issue circulating notes;
it merely subjects such privilege
to the control of the government,
so that such notes may form fix
ed and definite portion of the
whole measure of value.-ALEx.
