Investments in horse-hesh are pro-
verbally uncertain, but a city board
OF health found an ample return for
the fifteen dollars expended in the pur-
chase Of a horse. The animal was used
IN producing antitoxin, and yielded
many thousand walls, valued at thous-
ands Of dollars. Having done his
work and been turned out to grass, he
now enjoys well-deserved rest.

cost the government about 40 cents a

How to Drink Iced Tea,

eff you will drink iced tea,' says a
physician, land you are taking large
liberties with your digestion to do so,
at least prepare it nationally. Pour
freshly made tea directly over the
cracked ice. This method is much to
be preferred to that of letting the tea
stand to cool gradually, process by
which the injurious effect of the tanip
is considerably increased"

NEW YORK, May 22.--The CONNER

gram says:
The markets here were almost IMAM
innate to-day So far as they moved
they sagged from lack Of support. Amer
leans opened nominally at parity. but
soon yielded half a point. business in
tenn was almost entirely suspended,
and it is thought this condition of af-
fairs will continue until the settlement
OF the Northern Pacific deadlock. 1t is
said here that the Morgans are lending
stock at S. to dealers who sold against
options maturing in June. The firm is
declared confidently to have enough of
the common stock on hand to secure the
control of the company.
Five thousand Fries will be shipped
to New York tomorrow on orders, an
announcement which caused a rally in
that stock near the close.

WOOL.

BOSTON, May 22.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say of
the wool trade tomorrow:
A number of large mills have been
represented in the market the past week
and there has been generally more look
ing around on the part of the manufac-
turers, but the business transacted has
consisted mostly of small lots, the ag-
gregate of which, however, makes a
fairly good sized total to-day. Consum-
ers are still buying only to meet cur
rent needs and as regards prices they
are buying very carefully. 1t is impos-
sible for holders to secure any advance
in prices, and the market, except pos
sibly on fine woods, is in buyers favor,
although quotations are not ~noticeably
lower than those Of a week ago. The
new woods are slow in moving in this
market.
Duplicate orders for heavy weights
are coming forward in greater volume
than a week or two ago, which are help
full and welcome to the manufacturer.
and which, if continued, may be re-
Elected in a better demand for wool.
The sales for the week in Boston
amounted to 2,S77, 600 pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, making a
total of 1897 900 pounds, against a total
of $4,000 pounds for the previous
week and a total of 2.553,000 for the
corresponding week last year. The
sales since January 1st amount to S.
S37, 900 pounds, against 90, 316, 800
pounds for the corresponding time last
year.
