WEEKLY REPORT IF FOREIGN MARKETS Promised Activity in London
 Was Not Realized RESULT OF REGENT BUDGET In the Berlin Hourse the Coal and Iron Shares Were varIousIy In-
 fiuenced by the uneer-
 tain Situation.
RESULT OF REGENT BUDGE I

London, April H.-With the exception of American securities, which continued to be buoyant, the promised increase of ac- tivity on the stock exchange following the budget announcement was mostly un- realized. The effect of the budget was largely discounted by careful operators. The coal and sugar duties had been con- sidered inevitable and brokers are thank full that they are no worse. The only ap- preciable effect of the announcement ot the budget was that some operators sold consols down to 94Z. which is the low est price since 1891. This low point brought In number of buyers and there was consequently some recovery at a net loss of only Bc.
 The prospectus of the new loan is ex- pected in a day or two. The price will probably be 98ss with a discount off Money during the past week was alto- gether easier in tone. On account of the large government disbursement, coupled with the gold receipts from the provinces and abroad, the reserve has risen to twenty-three and three-quarter millions. The near prospect of the new loan makes brokers cautious about lowering the dis count rates Money rates were lower during the past week by one half per cent to 21A per cent at call and by PA per cent at notice.

BRITISH ARE DISSATISFIED.
They Want to Know How Half a
 Loan Was Placed.

London. April 22.-Great curiosity is manifested here to ascertain how half the war loan has been "already placed" as is asserted In the government invitation for subscriptions for the remaining half.
 It is supposed that portion of the ESQ., 100000 'already placed" may have been reserved for the government departments but 1t is rather believed that financial houses with foreign connections have interested themselves in the matter Gen eral dissatisfaction is voiced by the Daily Chronicle. which says:
 ''The House ought to have been inform ed by this time to whom the Chancellor of Exchequer has allotted f3O.OOO. 900 of the issue"
 The paper proceeds to comment severe ly upon the policy of the government which has led tQ .such disastrous issue, in which the British tax payer drops the round sum f3,30d000 in the process of bor- rowing f60.000. 900" and points out that under MT. Gladstone .consols rose to par for the first time in the century, while since the tories have held office they have steadily declined from 114 to the present price. M sa4

REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is a seri- ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and when they do, overwork Is the usual cause. An affected kidney Is an exhausted one, impure blood has weak ened 1t: the remedy needed is one that will restore strength and rebuild the kid ney itself. This Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will do. It has been doing it for forty five years and no other remedy has ever been held in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out of the blood When the blood Is bad the kidneys get clogged with these poisons. Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic cures by neutralizing the impureties. by hastening their expulsion. by building up the tissues of the kidneys, and by giving these organs more strength and activity. While 1t is curing kidney and urinary troubles 1t is also repairing all the delicate machinery of the body.
 This is the best of all tonics. It does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do Nor can it do anything but good; it Is absolutely harm less and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid young or old. Ordinary iron sometimes harmss but the iron in Har- ter's Tonic is in such form that it does no harm. It ehriches the blood, strength ems the stomach. and aids digestion. Made by pr. Harter Medicine Company. Day ton,. Ohio. Sold everywhere.

4 NEW CHURCH
 IS DEDICATED
German Evangelical Congrega-
 ton Opens Its Building
THE SERVICES IMPRESSIVE
Morning Sermon Was in German and a Brilliant Musical Programme Was Rendered at the Af-
 ternoon Service.

The dedication of the new German Evangelical church at the corner of Ave nue F and Twenty y-first street occurred yesterday, the services being most i'm presslve. The programme for the dedi- cation was arranged with great deal Of care. and the result was very pretty.
 The regular morning services of dedi- cation were held at 10 o'clock and were conducted in German under the direc- tion of Rev. s. A. Ebinger, the pastor or the church. Rev. I. Peters of 1ndianap- oils delivered a discourse, and Rev. U. Lenk assisted in the ceremonies.
 A very large congregation attended the services and the exceedingly able ser mon by Rev. Peters was listened to at tentively. In the afternoon at o'clock a special service was held at which a charming musical programme was rem dered.
 The new church was only recently com pieted and Is one of the most elegant In the city. It is not so large as some or the other churches, but the arrange ment Is impressive. Some months ago the corner stone of the church was laid and the announcement made that the work would be carried forward with all haste until the building was completed. This promise has been faithfully carried out. but at two different times the church has had narrow escapes from destruction. The last time was the fire in the building adjoining 1t last week when the Third Presbyterian church was destroyed and the car barn of the Railway Company burned. The previous escape was from the storm that passed over the city wrecking so many homes some weeks ago.
 Tn programme for the afternoon ser- vices was as follows:
 Prelude--Miss Clara Behrens.
 Devotional Exercises-Rev. I. Peters ot Indianapolis.
 Selection-Turn verein Singing Section.
 Praise the Lord' (by Lewis)-Choir of the parish.
 Solo, "The Holy City"-Master Louis Schillinger. accompanied by Miss Emma Schillinger.
 Cornet Solo--Mr. John Harrington, ,ac- companied by Miss Clara Behrens.
 Selection-Turn Verein Singing Section.
 Symphony (Rubinstein)-Misses Alice Schaefer and Louise Matthews.

OVER s1oo,ooo LOSS IN
 THE WHEELING DISTRICT.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 2.-At g p. m. the river Is fl feet inches high and rising two inches an hour. The top notch is expected in an hour or two with less than 42. This stage shuts Wheeling en- tirely out of outside. communication by rail and only the big Cincinnati liners are able to run now, and irate residents along the river banks are firing frequently at the boats because the swell from the Mississippi Is washing the foundations away from their houses. Tonight a Wheeling island man fired at the packet Keystone State and at a passing boat, but without effect. In Wheeling, Bellaire
 Bridgeport, Benwood and Martins Ferry about 500 houses have been entered by the water, most of the families moving to upper floors. Nearly every manufactur- ing establishment in the Wheeling dis trict is shut down and cannot resume until Tuesday. At Martins Ferry the water destroyed 5O0,0O0 brick at the Bel mont Brick Company, entailing a loss of $20,OOO to $3o.000. There are smaller losses at other plants, aggregating probably s40,- 900. Taking the loss of business, railroad landslides, and industrial losses. the ag- gregate cost of the flood in this district is at least s1oOOo0, probably more.
 Above Martins Ferry, James Ford, miner. discovered the Cleveland and Pittsburg track washed out. Knowing a northbound passenger. train was due in thirty minutes. he returned a part of the distance and succeeded in stopping the train few yards from certain destruc- ton. The Ohio river railroad has num- Der of landslides and considerable wash out track below Wheeling. involving big loss and suspension of trafic for several days. On the Baltimore and Ohio, Wheel ing and Pittsburg division. there is a landslide at Claysvilfe. preventing through traffic between the two cities. There will be much distress in the dis

Manchester Market.

Manchester, April 21.-while the amount of business during the past week was rather disappointing, fair number of orders for various kinds of light bleach ing and finished cloths were secured. The undercurrent of strength appears to indi- cate returning confidence at home and abroad, although after the severe fiuc- tuations in cotton, extreme caution was exercised. The turnover for the week did not equal the average, but there will doubtless soon be a speedy alteration. Merchants are convinced that values are not likely to recede further. China sta ples were in poor demand, but there were more offers. India yarns were quiet and slight concessions were obtained.

Will liam Sauer, sub-deacon; Fr. Gregory, O. s. B. master of cermonies. In the sanc- tuary. In their official robes, were Rt. Rev Benedict Menges, o. s. B.. and at- tendants,. and Rt. Rev. Mgr, John B. Baasen and attendants.
 The first Holy mass of a priest Is the event of lis life and the Catholic church makes the ceremonies most impressive. She endeavors to make that occasion the <1neAto be recalled in after years as the happftst. moment in the priests life, and after years>of study and labor the new ly ordained Hriest must certainly be hap py when he hscends the steps of the al- tar to offer Nor the first time the Holy sacrifice of the mass.
 The sermon was delivered by Rev. P Boniface O. S. B., on the text, 1T give Him thanks Who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that He hath counted me faithful putting me in the ministry I. Tim l2 The sermon was a beautiful exposition of the text and very eloquently delivered. The preacher laid the duties of the priestly life before the young priest.

 Weather Forecaster Marbury today re- ceived reports from that section indicat- ing that the cotton crop had fared badly The rain first put the fields in such con- dition that when the high winds came the tender plants were blighted
 Professor Marbury Is of the opinion that the fruit crop Is still safe. but fears that the young vegetation in many sec- tions of Georgia hay have suffered.
