WALL STREET REVIEW
SPECULATIVE MIND IN UNSET
 TILED CONDITION.
Grangers, Pacifics and southwesterns All Acutely Depressed at the sopening-Railroad Bonds
 are Dull and Weak

NEW YORK, July 22.-The unsettled condition of the speculative mind was clearly manifested when the stock mar ket opened this morning with a fresh batch of unfavorable news regarding the com crop, and affecting also the chances of the Spring wheat crop. The grangers and Pacifics and Southwesterns were all acutely depressed and heavy blocks of shares of each of those roads were thrown upon the market, opening sales reaching as high as 10000 shares for Union Pacific. Conditions were much like those of last Monday and the trading contingent were inclined to look for some such effective support to the market as was offered last Monday by the powerful capitalists who have a paramount interest in keep ing up the prices of their properties. The selling on the short side after the opening dip was therefore conducted with signs Of timidity and caution. There was, in fact, effective support offered at the opening low level. But the incipient rally was checked when the corn market opened and the excited condition of affairs there was observed. The present maTNet IS largely influenced by the close prox ihl'ty of the brokers in stocks and the brokers in grains, the Stock Exchange oelnS Tn temporary quarters soon on Ib e9T@msi nniy |" wall dividing.

 prehe nsion of some maneuver or an

 a general disposition on the part of the traders to close up their contracts over night and the demand from this source caused a substantial rally in the late deal ings running from to points. Tn the leaders at the low level the lnroads upon Saturdays prices were as follows for the

MARKET FOR FUTURES COTTON HAS AN 1EREGULAh
 MOVEMENT. New York Sentiment Was Mixed to an Unusual Degree from the Very Beginning-The
 Close Quiet.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Cotton had an irregular movement all day and local sentiment was mixed from the very Degln- ming to an unusual degree.

Soon after the call liqlildatlon set in on quite extensive lines ana iorceu prices rapidly lower. the decline at o,le time reaching points. Reports ot Hght showers to hard rains in parts of the central and Western belt created dlstrust in bull circles and prompted pear seiiihe for a small turn. Before midday the market was on the upward turn "ith lne pit covering its shorts. New Oriesns SUI fened I'D quite sharply in the early aiter- noon and sent a number of buying orders; half of which tended to strengthen pull confidence But in the absence or iiperai public support the bulls were SLOW to take the aggressive and late events proved to be of most matter,oi-iact or der.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. July There was not much doing in the market for spot cotton Buyers were moving about among sample rooms quietly. but did not appear over-weighted with orders for execution. and, as factors show no great anxiety to coax a free movement by shading down their asking prices, the trading was de- cidedly slow. Sales. 950 bales, including GOO to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 The market for contracts was far from active today. even the October and De- cember positions being sadly neglected Trouble with the telegraph wires was in great part responsible for the ~dearth of trading, as local operators seemed disin- clined to move freely without full infor- nation concerning the trend of sentiment at Liverpool and New York.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of s points from Saturday. s figures, underwent a few faint variations and at the close showed net loss of 20 4 points on the day.

Sales by local longs influenced an early reaction to 5s. but here the sweep ing demand from the country a. well as from the local people caught the market and the market scarcely stopped ad: anc- ing until 59kc had been paid for ] small lot.

Bedtime Luncheons for Thin, Nerv-
 ous People.

ouS Feople.
 Stella Stuart in August Ledger
 Monthly.
 It was formerly thought that food taken at bedtime created indigestion and bad dreams. While undoubtedly rich and hearty food is inappropriate al the time chosen for repose, d light nourishing repast at night conduces to sound sleep by drawing the blood away from the brain.
 Physicians are now advising a bed time lunch for weak. nervous and ema- ciated people. The long hours of sleep consume about one-third of our exist ence. Although the demand upon the system is naturally much less than during the waking hours, there is vast ing away of tissues consequent upon the suspension of nutriment for many hours. sThe body feeds upon itself, for food taken at dinner is digested at bed time. Often one is restless and wake full at night because the stomach is empty.
 Says a well-known physician: Man is the only creature I Know of who does not deem it prc per to sleep on a good meal. The infant instinctively cries to be fed at night. showing that food is necessary during that time as well as through the day, and that left too long without it causes it discomfort, which 1t makes known by crying"
 If you crave it. eat d light, easily digested lunch at bedtime. And the long hours of sleep VIII work out for you d problem in addition, instead of subtraction, of adipoSe tissue.
