Miss Alma Pratt, ii they will
only have faith in the use of
Lydia E. pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Judging from the letters she is
receiving from so many young girls,
Mrs. pinkham believes that onr girls
are often pushed altogether too near
the limit of their endurance now
adays in our public schools and semin-
aries.
Nothing is allowed TO interfere with
studies, the girl must be pushed 70 the
front and graduated with honor; often
physical collapse follows, and it takes
years TO recover the lost vitality, -
often it is never recovered. Miss Pratt
says,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 16.-The stock market
was under pressure again today and prices
gravtated to lower level in an irreg-
ular way without much resistance. TIL
depressing causes were the quite general
distrust and hesitation reflected in the
business world and the rapid changes TAX
ing place in thes resources Of the money
market by reason of the heavy gold out
go. A special aggravating cause was the
renewal of the liquidation in the Erie
stocks, with the acute weakness resulting.
The severe decline in the earnings report
ed by that system by the expressed fears
that the maintenance of the dividend of
the first preferred stock. This special
weakness rather more than offset the sus-
tanning influence of the frmer tone for
United States Steel preferred. The sup
port of this stock carried it up large
fraction early and had cheering effect
upon the general market The weakness
became fairly general in the midsession
tdraing, the grain and cotton carriers be-
ing especially effected. The selling of
these stocks was based apparently on the
weather conditions in the crop regions.
The Saturday bank statement and the
money outlook were much discussed and
nothing was found in the subject to slim
ulate any advance in stock prices. The
engagement of gold already made for ex-
port were added TO by only $4,000. of
which $4,000 was for Thursday But this
limitation was due to the exhaustion of
the scub-treasury' supply Of gold bars
and the postponement of 81 100000 of the
shipment intended for Tuesday uptil
Thursday was due to the same cause.
The tone of the foreign exchange showed
no signs of relaxation of the pressure
upon this center for gold. London. how
ever reported such plethoric condition
of money that funds were practically I'M
lendable with the call loan rate down to
one pier cent, and two and three months
discounts at per cent. Call loans in this
market advanced. and the time money
market was firmer. This course of events
would lead shortly to borrowing on ster-
ling bills in New York, with a resulting
deferment of gold refnittances The for
eign trade statement for April shows a
check to the fall in our export of mer-
chandise and a decrease in the value of
imports which tends to restore somewhat
the trade balance in our favor, thus re-
lieving the excessive pressure for exports
of gold. Railroad earnings. reports of
traffic officials and a reduction in the
price OF copper failed TO offer any help
10 the stock market. and banking fall
ure in Macon. Ga. had disturbing eff
feet upon sentiment. United States Steel
preferred again asserted its influence on
the market by its last advance of a point
with rally in the general list The clos
ing, however. was irregular. Bonds were
easy. total sales. par value 81 $4,000
United States IS and IS coupon and the
old IS declined one-fourth per cent on
call.

WHEAT MADE A GAIN
July Option Advanced Almost
Two Cents a BusheI.
CORN AND OATS HIGHER
Provisions Are Steady with
Fractional Advance.

Chicago. May 1s.-Belief in almost total
depletion of contract stocks was the prin-
cipal influence surrounding a strong wheat
market today AT the close July showed
a gain of 1A@17sc. Corn is up ZdAc. oats
are A@3sc higher, and provisions 212Q10c.
AS the result of the prevalence of the
idea that the local contract stocks are
practically exhausted, sentiment in the
! wheat pit was bullish from the start
| The opening on July was shade lower
to 9sG12c higher al s3a4Qo4l4c. There was
an urgent demand from shorts during the
entire day There was also active. buying
to replensh long lines. Offerings were
comparatively light In order 10 secure
any considerable amount of wheat it was
necessary to bid up prices sharply A
matter which attracted much attention
from speculative traders was the fancy
