The Berlin Boerse.

Berlin, May 5-Although the Boerse greeted the political developments of last week Jubilantly, they were not sufficient to inaugurate a bull movement. At the same time even the highest financial cir cles are gratified at the fall of Dr. Voii Miqnel and Herr Brefeld believing that a reform Of the Boerse law is now made more practicable The financial reviews point out that the Berlin Boerse was al- most uninfluenced by New York While the general tone was rather firm business was very dull. One feature of the week was revival of interest in domestic loans, owing to the great abundance of money. Imperial and Prussian 3s gained thirty pfennings and the new 3s forty. Interest In foreign rents was very slight and the same is true of bank stock Mu- nicipal funds were more quiet.
 Cologne is planning loan of 1S,0O0 900 marks for street railroads and number of minor municipal loans are announced. Coal and iron shares were irregular owing to continuance of the conflicting indus trial reports. The rolling mills in Silesia advanced prices for exports to Russia five marks per ton: and the wire and nail syn dicate made similar advance reporting that orders were satisfactory The bar mills made a slight advance: the coal syndicate and the finished goods syndi- cate allowed twenty marks per ton on ex- ported plate: and the plate mills reported an improving business

Manchester Cotton Market.

Manchester. May 5.-The absorbing feature of the last week has been the dis cussion of the important decline in cotton in consequence of which yarns and cloths were depressed. Buyers operated with extreme caution, merely placing their ur- gent orders The weeks business was so unevenly placed that it is difficult to es- innate the turnover
 There was fair inquiry from India. but mostly unavoidable Should cotton steady, 1t is believed that a fair amount of sort. ing up business will be forthcoming from the various eastern outlets which are mo- mentarily holding aloof. The China de- mand is apparently satisfied for the pres ent. although occasional transactions are mentioned.
 Yarns are slow in the absence of in. quiry. Spinners are anxious for orders and find it difficult to dispose of their production.

PROTECTED BY PRINCE

St. Petersburg, May 5.-The Young Mems Society for Moral and Physical De- velopment, founded in St. Petersburg by MT. James Stokes of New York, under the protection of Prince Alexander of oldenburg, celebrated this evening its first six months of existence.
 Prince Alexander opened the meeting and addresses were delivered by Presl- dent Tourchaninoff and Secretary Sidl- roH, who explained the objects of the se- ciety, virtually identical with those of the Young Mems Christian Association In the United States and Great Britain and reviewed the work already accom- plished. The society now has nearly 800 members, of whom 300 are enrolled in the evening classes. It has an orchestra and two excellent choirs. The meetings are held under the direction of orthodox priests. They are well attended and the organization is growing in favor with the Russian associations. Two members, Father Vassilieff of the Orthodox church and Franklin Fay Lord, have been elect ed delegates to the June conference of the Young Mems Christian Association in Boston and will attend

Topeka and Santa F'e touched 92s4 Union Pacific, 133; New York Central, 172; Northern Pacific. 11s; Chicago. Milwaukee and St Paul, 1H; Southern Pacific 5SA, all these securities closed materially lower, but still above the best prices of last week. while only Erie preferred, Missouri Pa. cific, Pennsylvania and Wabash closed lower than a week ago.

IRON INDUSTRY
 IS VERY STABLE
Marked Contrast to the Ois- trust of One Year Ago.
 Damage by Floods

New York. May 5.-Locai interest in iron and steel this week is centered rather more in the securities than in the market for products. The substantial rise .n United States Steel shares is the best ex- pression of the confidence which the pub lie now has in the stability of this indus try. It is In marked contrast with the distrust which led people to throw over their stocks year ago. Among manu- lecturers the extraordinary rise in values and the feverish speculation Tn both in dustrial and railroad shares, are regarded as the only danger speck visible on the horizon. Crops, labor conditions and financial prospects never were better at this period of the year.
 There are no new features in the pig iron market. There Is moderate buying, but no specially active spots. Prices are well maintained, as might be expected in view of the heavily sold condition of the furnaces. Consumption is running at full tide in almost every department. Foun- dries depending upon cotton mill machin- cry trade in New England are perhaps the quietest, owing to the slack condi- tions In the cotton industry.
 
 The damage by the recent floods Is found to have been more severe on iron plants than 1t was at first supposed. A number of furnaces in Pittsburg, South ern Ohio, and in Youngstown district, were stopped by high water, with the re- suit of appreciably cutting down current pig iron supply in those sections.
 The German markets report a little more confidence, but the English fail to respond to good conditions elsewhere They continue skeptical of American in- dustrial improvement. and the financial papers have the bad grace to say that recent reported earnings of the big steel company are cooked up to boom the stocks and enable insiders to unload English investors, thus solmenly warned refuse however, to stay out.

MAYD0LE'S HAMMER.
(BsnSon's Plaster Is Pains Masier)

When Maydole was told that he made "a
pretty good hammer" he said, NO. l don't
make pretty good hammer make the
best hammer that ever lods made"
Every carpenter who saw Maydole ham,
mer wanted one. 1t was of the best ma
terial, perfectly balanced, and the head
never flew off. Hammers were divided into
two classes-lst, Maydoles; I'd, all the rest
Plasters are separated by the same line
of cleavage; 1st, Benson's Porous Plaster;
I'd, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain,
a cold, a cough, kidney trouble or any
other disease or ailment that may be treated
externally, you ask for plaster, any hon
est, reputable druggist will give you Ben
sons. He knOlos it is incomparably the
best, and he assumes that you know it too.
AS the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name of Benson stands for plasters-
the "real thing" All the medicinal poten-
cios that are valuable in plaster are in
Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and
Belladonna plasters are out of date.
An army of physicians and druggists, and
millions of the people, have written of
Benson's Plasters as aremedyt TO betrusted.
Benson's Plasters have fifty-fve highest
