THE STOCK MARKET.
Hardly a Spark of Elimination Yesterday

New York, Aug. 31-Except for some rather active selling of Sugar and Peoples Gas, there was not a sparkle of animation l in to-days stock market The sympathetic effect of the weakness of these two spe- ! cialties wiped out the slight opening gains in some of the international railroad stocks which were caused by the better tone of 1 the stock market in London and at the con tlncntal centers. Again at the close there was sufficient demand from the short inter ! est which was averse to leaving contracts uncovered over the three days holiday, to 1 stitIen the prices of some of the railroad | stocks. Among those to show notable firm ness were Southern Pacific, New York Cen tral and Baltimore and Ohio. The weakness Of Peoples Gas gave striking illustration of the lack of consistency in the minds of professional operators. The other day this stock advanced on the report that q newly organized company in Chicago was In coil- trol of interests friendly to Peoples Gus The professional intelligence by to-day had l arrived at the conclusion that the formation of this friendly company must be the signal for war upon the ogden Gas company, the rival of the Peoples. The stock was accord ingly sold industriously at an expense of 2ta points Ill its price.
 The movement in Sugar was about equally Independent of the news of the day and was apparently due to realizing on the ad- vance in the refined product which was made yesterday. Tobacco and Brooklyn Transit were weak during the morning, but
 
 Terminal preferred lost 2K Union Bag pre- ferred l5s and National Steel preferred 1K. Consolidated Gas advanced t$4 on light transactions when the announcement was made of the declaration of quarterly divi. dend of ? per cent. the stock. thus re- storing the rate prevailing before the recent local gas war In the meantime the volume of stock has been increased from the nar value of S3D, D,0IS, 900 to $50 000, GOO, the pro ceeds of the new stock being used to secure the control of the rival companies in the gas and electric light business on ManhaC- tan Island. Pennsylvania suffered some what from the effect of it's statement of earnings for July, the increase in net earn ings on the lines east of PittSburg and Erie directly operated being practically offset by the decrease on the lines west of those points directly operated. The St. Paul anu Omaha q lSo returned 9 large decrease in gross earnings for July. The Chesapeake and Ohio showed handsome net Increase in earnings for July as all of he coal roads have done As the active demand for coal is u factor iu keeping UP operating eA. penses of railroads generally, other rail roads did not respond.
 Money market conditions. consisting of an easing of the London discount rate and the promise of a strong bank statement to-mor- row were ignored. The closing was made easy by pressure against Peoples Gas In the final dealings.

week is essential. II is best taken at
bedtime. Eczema and other skin dis
eases abound in countries where the
bath is rarely used. A historian of the
middle ages asserts that during n
thousand years no man, woman or
child in all Europe took bath except
by accident. Scrofula and various
forms of skin disease existed to a
frightful extent during this period,
says Good Health.
Special attention must be given to
the scalp, by the use of fine comb
and good brush daily, and by sham
pooling with fine soap once week.
Beneath the finger nails is favor
able hiding lace for all kinds of germs,
which, through accidental incubation,
may give rise to disease of the eyes and
infections of other sorts. Take care
never to soil the fingers with anything
infectious when it is possible to avoid
1t. 1t such contamination occurs,
cleanse the hands at once. Water as
hot as can be borne and good yellow OF
soft soap are safe disinfectants II thor.
oughly employed. Attend to the teeth
before and after meals.
II catarrh or cold exist, take good
care.of the nose, by properly using the
handkerchief. 1t is WELL also, to use
some form of vaporizer to introduce
some antiseptic which will destroy the
germs growing on the mucous-mem.
brane of the nose. Always avoid clos.
ing both nostrils in blowing the nose.
When this precaution is neglected, air
is driven into the middle ear and skull
bones, causing disease of these parts.
Coughing should be avoided. The spu-
tum should not be expectorated
upon the ground, but into cloth and
burned. This will prevent scattering
of the germs Of tuberculosis and other
microbes that might be in the sputum.
IL is needless to warn the reader of the
dangers of the filthy habit of swallow
ing the accumulations from the nasal
passages. This sometimes results in
chronic gastritis or catarrh of the
stomach.
