bers of the group were pushed forward
Even Tennessee Coal and Iron, after an
opening Jump Of two points, dragged be-
hind the others. 1t was pulled up in
sympathy with the general rise, but
closed with small net loss. The buying
of American Steel and Wire was the most
conspicuous, rising at one time two and
quarter points. Directors of the COM
pany were quoted as expressing the be-
lief that persons who sold out last spring
when the cut was made in prices of the
product are trying to buy back their
stock. "A number of the Steel stocks
saved net gain of over point. In the
railroad list there was the same dispo
sition manifest to take uD new stocks
for the advance. and those were selected
for which the borrowing demand indicates
that there has been a larger short interest
Baltimore and Ohio, Northern Pacific,
Missouri Pacific and Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy are in this class. There was
conspicuous buying OF Pennsylvania Rail-
road and rumors were revived, such as
were heard when the vast proportions of
the years earnings first begun to be
understood, of an increase in the dividend
rate. Gossip on the stock exchange at
tributed the buying to the same interests
which were active in the previous move
ment. Some strength was shown in
American Sugar, Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, in all of which dealings were
large, but the tone was feverish and ir
regular The market closed rather heavy
and at a substantial reaction from the
best.
The preliminary estimates to the week
ly cash changes were rather disappoint-
ing to those who have figured on heavy
offsets to the forces towards depletion
of the money supply. The net loss to the
banks in cash is expected to be nearly
$4,000, 600. The large payment of gold by
the Sub-Treasury on last Friday is eX-
pected to figure partly in this weeks
statement, under the system of computa
ton of daily averages. But even with
this allowance it will be seen that the in
road upon the surplus promises to be about
as large as last week.
Today's money market continued firm
and sterling exchange reacted while dis
counts were easier in London.

the market was tolerably firm at a net
rise of several points. with the public
once more fair purchaser of the Janu-
airy position. The weekend figures from
the South and abroad were about in line
with preconceived ideas. and while they
attracted attention, played an unimport-
ant part as an influence. The private wires
declared Southern spot markets were
holding firm on undated demand from
the export contingent and smaller offer

estimates continued to sift in from the
South and sellers of spot cotton quietly

QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower ,. has the largest sale of any medicine in ths civilized world. Your motherf and grandmothers never thought oe using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen- dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac- ton of the liver, stimulate the ner- vous and organic action of the sys- tenn, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with head ache and other aches.

He is poor and his mother is a widow While the jury might possibly have convict ed under the evidence, it is exceed ingly doubtful if he is guilty, and the evidence as to his identification uncertain. We respectfully re quest under the circumstances that your excellency grant him par don.
 The petition was endorsed by the governor as follows
 " Believing from all the facts sented to me that there is a very reasonable doubt of defendant S guilt, and finding that defendant is the son of widowed mother, who is dependant upon him to support her and her two small children, and that they are quite poor peo- pie of good character, and that de fendant has a good reputation, this pardon is granted.

 No such other leader has evei appeared iii the history of this country. Jefferson, Calhoun, Clay and Webster are not the leaders o1 the people in the same sense that William Jennings Bryan is. As q defeated candidate he did not re main silent, but fought four years for the rights of the people, and not a word that he uttered or g line that he penned has been turn ed to his disadvantage by his bit 'terest enemy.

Ii Hung Chang's Announcement
 to C0nsuls at Shanghai.

London, July 26.-The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express telegraphing yesterday, says:
 "A general rising throughout China is now regarded as so abso- lutely certain that all the mission aries throughout the Empire have been ordered to take refuge, with out delay, either at Shanghai ol Hon. Cong. Refugees are begin ing to arrive from all points in the most pitiable condition.
 " As the result of constant cor respondence with the Governor o1 Shan Tung, Ii Hung Chang, this afternoon, announced that the I'm perial Government was prepared al any moment to give safe convoy to the members of the foreign le- gations from Pekin to Tien-Tsin, provided a guarantee were given that no advance would be made upon the capital and that all mat ters ill dispute between China and the Powers would be made the subject of friendly negotiations.
 !" In the same communication to the Consuls, Earl Li stated that the Imperial Government had submit ted to the Powers statement of its position, declaring that it had sui fered greatly by recent events, but desired not to suppress rebellion, but also to remove the causes ol the hostility of foreign Powers. Therefore, he hoped that the offer to escort the foreigners to Tien Tsir would be regarded as an earnest o the desire of the Chinese Govern ment for the renewal of friendly re lations.
 "The Consuls replied that nc basis for friendly negotiations was possible until proof was at hand that the Ministers were still living, Consul Warren declined to discuss the matter at all, but in his reply to the French Consul, Ii Hung undertook to obtain satisfactory message from the French Minister (M. Pichon) within five days.

of the convention two years before the convention, and three hundred miles away he dictated the terms upon which he would accept the presidential nomination.
 Mir. Graves thought he would very probably make some campaign speeches for the Democratic ticket ill the central West. Asked as to Bryan's prospects, said
 His chances are fair. He has behind him the sentiment, the ar gument and the we'll wishes of the plain people, but he has not the money, and is further handicapped by the fact that neither he nor his party can raise one-tenth the vast sum that the Republican party can get from the gigantic trusts and millionaires of the country.

Gov. Jones Pardons Faulkner
 County Boys.

The governor today granted the following petition
 We, the undersigned, would respectfully represent unto your excellency that on the 10th day of July, 1000, one Will Isbell was convict i'll the circuit court of Faulkner county of the crime of unlawfully selling liquor and fined $2oo and costs. That this con viction was had solely upon the testimony of two boys, who accord ing to their own evidence, never scw defendant until they saw him at the reunion on the day the liquor was sold, and one of these witnesses refused to identify the defendant as being the party he bought liquor from, while the other witness testified that defendant looked like the man. The evi- dence of these two boys was that a party named Birkhead told them that the parties who had sold them the liquor was the defendant, and a man named Joe Barrett, and that they said was why they thought it was the defendant. This is all the evidence for the state. The de fendant denied having any liquor except small bottle bought by him from another party. He de- nied selling to these boys or any one else any whiskey. He proved by neighbor that they went to- gether to the reunion the day be- fore, that they remained together all night and were together the ell

Faulkner county jail. The testi- mony upon which he was convict

Faulkner county jail. The testi- mony upon which he was convict ed was not of the very strongest nature, and number of the jurors who tried the case signed the peti- ton for pardon. Young Bailey is the sole support of an aged mother, who wrote very pathetic letter to the governor asking for the pardon. No good could possibly come of keeping the young man confined i'll jail, and, considering all the circumstances surrounding his con viction, 1t was case where the governor was fully justified ill ex- ercising the pardoning power.
 Hon. l. M. Campbell, an attor- ney O. EG,lwav. brought the peti- ton for pardon to the city, and young Bailey will be the happiest man ill Faulkner county tonight when he is liberated on authority of the governors pardon. Ark. Democrat.

There are too many unemploy- ed boys, both white and black in this city for their own good and the good of the community. It is a great pity that many of them who would work cannot find employ ment, and it is more deplorable that many others do not want work of any kind.-Little Rock Demo- crat.
 And the same thing can be said of Beebe and nearly every other i. town in the state. Here at almost anytime day or night from ten to fifty negroes can be seen lining the fences around the depot like black birds, just how this gang makes a living unless they steal it, is hard to tell. There is no doubt but what they are fed we'll and their clothes as general thing, border on that of dude, still none of them are missed from this accustomed haunt.
