PASSING of the Cable Car.

A few years ago the cable system o.
street car propulsion was considered de-
cidedly the best, but since the invention
of the trolley system the cable is being
rapidly replaced. and many experts now
claim that compressed air will eventually
be the street car power of the future. In
all lines of industry We see improvements
being made. but in medicine there is one
remedy that is impossible to improve
upon and that is Hostetter's Stomach

ing become alarmed at liberal receipts also
the estimates for Houston and New Orleans
tomorrow comparatively large. Houston
expected $500 to $500 and New Orleans
500 to 5000, while business from the South
was restricted on account of bad conditions
of telegraph services, but the bulk of orders
received from outside was liquidation by tired
longs
Liverpool was also disposed to follow our de-
cline. The local bulls crowd made little at
tempt to hold prices until during the latter
part Of the session. when a rally of 5d6 points
took place from the low price of the session
May having sold at $3.50 and July at 8. "a,
which was the extreme low figures. The situa-
lion at present is very pei picking to both
sides, there is no evidence of the perpendicu-
lar drop in receipts that has been expected
for the past sixty days, and the bears are eau
tious about selling short Unless there Is
soon some decrease in the movement, present
prices cannot be sustained.

from scattered country towns serves to in
