NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June 25.-Even the profess

efforts to move prices in today's stock
market. The drift on the average was
within a range of less than full point
and was uncertain and irregular all day
The total dealings fell below the quarter
million share, marking the low level for
the year. If the dealings in Pennsylva-
mia, St Paul. Colorado Fuel and Iron, and
Wabash preferred were subtracted there
would be little left of the days market
The business congeSted in these stocks
and the continued large selling of United
States Steel second IS made up the market

Here's a right hand of welcome and
godspeed to the graduates of 1903!
There is room for them and need of
them in the world. They must not ex-
pect their diplomas to do everything
for them. The diploma unlocks the
door of success, but the door is only
opened by push. The world cheers
the undergraduate athlete and APP
plauds the salutatorian, but when
these heroes and priZe-winners get out
into the crowd they are valued only for
what they can do there. They will find
that few people have heard of them
and that the laurels on their brow are
invisible to most of those with whom
they come in contact. But the gradu-
ate who has improved his opportuni-
ties is we'll trained for the struggle
before him. He goes into the battle
with a courage and confidence that is
half the victory The world is his-ff
he can prove his title!

Rayles gives Boston the lowest death
rate from typhoid, and attributes this
largely to the pure water used for
drinking purposes. Bostons water
supply is in marked degree free from
all contamination, and the resulting
high standing of the city in health sta

municipalities. The table showing the
standing of eight American cities is
presented below and tells it's own story
in it's own way. The death rate from

Teheran for his terminus. He had no

had of the means of conveyance to

the time limit. He then began and
wrote as fast as he could move his
