STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Closing Weak and Near the
Lowest.


Lowest.
New York, Aug. 3.-Prices opened
higher this morning under the opera
tons of the small attendance of pro-
fessional traders on the board, who
were apparently influenced by the be-
lief that the renewed conference on the
steel strike gave promise of a COM
promise and resumption of W ork
Both the United States Steel stocks
rose a point over last night, and ST.
Paul rose a point and a fraction.
Prices drifted aimlessly for the great
er part of the session, There was
an advance of 3ia in Consolidated Gas
for some unexplained reason and gains
of a point or more in United States
Leather preferred American Cotton
Oil, Peoples Gas, Pacific Mail and st.
Lawrence and such inconspicuous
stocks. Selling orders appeared when
the bank statement was published,
whether for the purpose of taking
profits by room traders or from an I'M
favorable Interpretation of that docu
ment would be hard to say. The rather
large increase in the loan item was
not a strengthening factor, but the in
crease in cash largely offset it's effect
on the surplus reserve item. The SELL
ing at the last, though small, seemed
rather urgent and carried prices rather
precipitately to the lowest level of the
day. The closing itself was weak and
near the lowest.
The railroad bond market was as FAR
from rejecting any demand for securi-
ties as that for stocks and was dull
and heavy throughout. Bankers do not
feel safe to make loans freely to be
used for speculative purposes in the
stock market, pending the demand from
the interior for crop moving. The
sluggish and irregular action of the
stock market this week affords an in
dication that syndicates and larger in
terests" are not inclined TO contest
these obstacles for the present and are
disposed to let the stock market lie fall
low.
The railroad bond market was dull
and narrow to-day.
United States new As declined u on
call during the week.
Total sales of stocks to-day were 161,-
900 shares, including Atchison, 5000;
Union Pacific, $500; Sugar, 5000; United

and coming in contact constantly with
men of good taste could have the

Whereupoh Mr.. Bailey told the young
lady he was well acquainted there,
having cousin in Maryville, a young
doctor, whom he often visited and who
was to be married in few weeks.
With wide open eyes and abated

cohhded to Bailey she was the person

but there were chances of it never oc-
curing, as they had had some differ

trip TO Marysville to endeavor to bring
about d reconciliation with her fiance.
Mr.. Bailey concluded to act the part
OF a mediator and agreed to accom-
pany Miss James to his cousins home
and intercede for her. Arriving there
the young doctor was greatly cha
grined and offended that his promised
wife should tell her troubles to a
stranger whom she had accidentally
met on the train, even though that
person CHANGED to be his own cousin.
He refused even to talk the matter
over, and babe her go to her home,
which she did.

Doe, though that name gives no clew
to his identity. He was found APP
parently dead on the sidewalk at
three o'clock in the morning by a
passer-by. The body was carried
to the city hall, where the coroner,
Henry Kelly, selected jury and held
an inquest.
Two doctors said heart failure and
a verdict was rendered in accordance.
The body was taken to an undertake
ing establishment and had hardly
been laid out when he rose up and
began to sing. Coroner Kelly is also
mayor of the town, and at once had
John Doe" locked up and later fined
him five dollars for disturbing the
peace by singing uproariously.
The stranger refused to tell his

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
.Something New Under
The Sum-

All doctors have tried to cure CA
TARH by the use of powders, acid gases,
inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powder acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and ex-
perienced practitioner who has for many
years made close study and speciality
of the treatment of CATARRH, has at
last perfected Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures CATARRH, by
removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all inflammation. 1t
is the only remedy known to science that
actually reaches the afflicted parts: This
wonderful remedy is known as "SNUF-
FILES the GUARANTEED CATARRH
CURE" and is sold at the extremely
low price of One Dollar, each package
containing internal and external medi-
cine sufficient for full months treat
ment and everything necessary to its per-
feet use.
II
CATARRH CURE ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and posi-
tive cure for that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflammation quick
~ and permanently, and is also wonder
fully quick to relieve HAY FEVER or
COLD in the HEAD.
CATARRH when neglected often leads
to ON-"SNUFFLES"
will save you IL you use It at once. It Is
no ordinary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed to
cure CATARRH in any form or stage
If used according to the directions which
accompany each package. Don't delay
but send for it at once, and write full
particulars as to your condition, and Won
will receive special advice from the dis
coyerer of this wonderful remedy regard
