Bond Market More Active.

There was a decided increase in the
volume Of business in bonds and the
market for them was strong throughout.
Investment issues were especially in de-
mand.
On the curb the noteworthy dealings
we're in Standard Flour Milling SIS, in
United States Steel Us at an advance TO
e5k. in Havana Commercial Common at
an advance to IL, and In United Copper
at an advance from 35k to 35M.
An incident Of the market was the col
lapse Of the manipulation in American
Elevated that resulted in q drop from
about 90 to Z. The news made public
after the close that one Of the largest
purely speculative operators would leave
for Europe tomorrow doubtless explains
the selling movement OF the last few days,
as II is not probable he would leave the
country with large accounts outstanding.
The close in all departments was very
strong.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Good Reports and Light Receipts SEND
Up the Prices.

NEW YORK, May 2o.-Light receipts.
good reports. and what looked to many
like sold-out condition of the market,
put up cotton. The Government report
was in the main favorable, and certain
Wall Street interests were supposed to
be selling, but on the other hand there
was persistent buying on any reaction,
and noticeably less pressure TO sell after
the recent severe decline, which it is be-
lieved eliminated much OF the weak long
interest

LOCAL AND GENERAL MARKETS
THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Little Feature to Trade in Wheat, But
Oats Are Active.

CHICAGO. May 2o.-Trade in wheat was
light, and there was no special feature
TO the market beyond covering of local
shorts owing to strength in corn. The
market ruled quiet within a range of izc
per bushel and closed July &c, September
and December sc higher than last night.
There were further rains reported in
the Northwest, but nothing serious.
Weather throughout the winter wheat
belt was all that could be desired For
eiSn markets were generally closed On ac-
count of holiday. The cash demand here
is rather quiet, and there was only mod
crate demand from the seaboard for ex-
port.
Corn-Country offerings of corn today
were much lighter and acceptances on
bids sent out last night were small. This
started shorts to covering and resulted
in firm market all day. The close was
within a fraction of the highest point,
A-@fsc higher than last night. The cash
demand was better. Shorts have covered
pretty well today. Estimated receipts for
tomorrow, thirty cars.
Oats-Ihere was large and active
trade in oats today, and the principal fea-
ture to the market was good buying Of
new July. There was very little trade in
May, which closed at 42c, while July
closed &c and September hdAc higher
than last night Country offerings were
very light. while there was a good cash
demand. During the rast few days a large
quantity of mixed oats has been sold for
export. Slightly under the market, and it
looks as if Europe were willing to buy
mixed oats on the basis of 39c here. Es-
timated receipts for tomorrow. 100 cars.
Provisions opened easy on lower hogs.
The market for while was supported by
the leaders. but the selling from unex-
pected quarters and scalpers from out
siders who attempted TO unload on the
market was too much for 1t. and the
close was weak

A Favorable Factor.

Another factor in the speculation was
the authoritative announcement that the
Louisville and Nashville and the Southern
Railway Companies had formally decided
to take over the stock of the Chicago In
dianapolis and Louisville Railway by a
joint issue of per cent bonds Just as the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific COM
panies took over the Chicago. Burlington.
and Quincy system. The announcement
naturally revied rumors of similar opera
lions In other directions.
The tone of the stock market was
strong throughout and final prices were.
as a rule, the highest recorded The
total transactions were somewhat smaller
than yesterday, the falling off being in
the usually active stocks. Canadian Pa
cihc was the leader in respect to ac-
tivity, supplying nearly fifth OF the
dealings, and closing at net gain of
1% per cent. The advance in this stock
has been foreshadowed to an extent by
its enormous earnings, but there must
be other considerations OF which the pub

Money conditions were more satisfactory
and apprehension regarding possible ex-

MORE BOATS.
0rowlns Opinion That These Tins
Fighters Have Come into
the Navy to Stay.

There is a rapidly -growing opinion
among both naval and army officers
that submarine boats have not only
come to stay, but are destined to pro.
duce almost as vast a change in ne
architecture as that which followed
the success of Ericsson's Monitor. En-
sign Nelson, the expert in charge o.
the torpedo station at Port Royal,
gave some remarkable testimony be-
fore the house committee on naval al
fairs. He declared that a submarine
boat OF the Holland type could drive
an entire hostile fleet out of a harbor,
because the enemy, if wise, would put
out to sea to avoid attack which could
not be prevented, because it would be
delivered entirely out of sight.
An attacking feet would therefore
De forced to keep out at sea under all
circumstances. and could never APP
proach the harbor near enough to
cover the landing of troops or to make
effective use of small calibered guns
against shore defenses. Ensign Nell
son declared that battleships were all
right in their places, and were worth
all they cost. but he pronounced it a
piece of great folly and useless eXtrav-
agance to keep a batt;eship cooped up
in a harbor, where half a dozen little
torpedo boats would afford the same
protection.
The moral effect of a submarine
boat, he declared, was even greater

which has increased threefold in IL

These factories consume $4,000
pounds of beets every "a hours. The
average daily consumption OF Ger

about 100000 pupils and teachers

FOLLOWS THE GRIP.
Medical Opinion That Appendicitis
Results from the Disease.
Dr.. Lucas Championniere, Of Paris,
Lakes a Sensational Statement
That Il Agreed To by Amer.
lean Physicians.

In q remarkable paper presented
before the Academy of Medicine at
Paris the other day, DR.. Lucas Cham
pionniere demonstrated that one of
the common use of appendicitis is
the grip or influenza. Although this
theory had been advanced by the late
DIR. Simon, of the Hotel Dieu, one OF
the chief Paris hospitals, DIR. Lucas
Champlonniere's statements have pro.
duced a profound sensation.
The Savant called attention to the
tact that an epidemic of appendicitis
has ever followed q grip epidemic, or
that the two often coexisted. He then
demonstrated that appendicitis is but
. l~ocallzation Of the grip affecting the
aatestlnes, and often the appendix it
self.
Appendicitis resulted most tre-
quently when an improper diet had
cen pursued by the patient before
grip set in. This was especially trne
DR.. Lucas Championniere said wh.n
the patient had been an excessive eat
er OF freshly slaughtered meat. In
such case it was pointed out the grin

sestlnes, q the appendix, OF in the
appendix itself. producing acute or
chronic appendicitis.
With relation to an incidental case

co out that hundreds of recent prir
eases in Philadelphia were attended,

Jacks OF appendicitis. According to
servatl reported by DR.. Keen,
