Bond Market Strong.

The redeeming feature of Wall street at this time is the strength of the bond market, An illustration of the absorp- tive qualities of the bond market was found this week In, the New York Gen. tral incident Within five minutes after the market opened for the new $25000, 900 issue not a bond could be had. The entire amount was swallowed by group of strong houses having rich clienteles with abundance of money to invest in good things.
 There Is also alarge and growing de- mand for middle class bonds which range in price from 65 to S5 or 90. There is a large volume 'of such bonds which yield at current quotations from 5ls to 6la per cent and which are in reality as certain to pay interest as the older and

Low Prices Prevail.

Many of the standard stocks as well as those possessing speculative properties are selling today at ridiculously low prices Some of them can be had one third lower than the figures that were commenced two years ago. The com bined three Rock Island issues, based on the old Rock Island stock which sold at 2lO, can now be bought around 150. St. Paul, which sold at 200 is now around 143. Louisville and Nashville was in demand at ITO, it Is now about 10s.- Union Pacific is off 40 points and more. Atchison 30 points, We Chicago and Northwestern is selling 100 points below the price reach ed at the height of the speculative ex- citement when 270 was paid by Wander bilt brokers to retain control. Railroad stocks are certainly averaging very low these days. Liquidation throughout the entire list is apparently over. The feeble drives by the professionals produce not the slightest effect There is no more loose stock to be shaken out.

"Sprinu Medicines" :"

From the Worcester Telegram.
 Spring medicines are being displayed in the drug store windows, and all hu- man beings are warned to look out for their blood In the spring men need a tonic. or have been told they need one, and they are urged to take it. Usually 1t is 79 or so cents, reduced from $l. The average spring tonic Is cheap and di- luted whisky favored with few herbs It Is not good, except as a stim- ulant, and as a stimulant 1t Is cheap and dangerous. In spring some men drink book beer as a tonic. Others take sulphur and molasses. Others take sar- saparila and various nerve foods and bracers In doing so they get into their systems more alcohol than the book drinkers and receive much less benefit | than the sulphur eaters.

According to the figures of the commission, the advance or rates gave to the railroads S3OO'O0ooOO more revenue, but more than half of this was absorbed in the increased expenses. The net gain to the roads was but $l53- O0O 0OG oyer four years. That would be at the rate of about $40, 900 per year, which is about per cent of the net earn ings in 1890.
 The Boston News Bureau says: "lt will surprise most people to learn that the | louisville and Nashville earns more per cent upon it's capital stock than does St. Paul. Louisville and Nashville earns con- siderably more in gross and net per mile of road spends more for maintenance both of road and of equipment per mile and also considerably more per mile of road for improvements than does St. Paul. Both roads have a small amount of capital stock outstanding per mile, and therefore both have in the past been sub feet to considerable fluctuation, but there are those who maintain that the Louis- vile and Nashville is worth more than St. Paul common, share for share"
 The gross earnings of twenty-two roads for the fourth week in April were $6.6l2 70i, against $6S97,267 tor the fourth week in April, 1903, a decrease of $3S456s. Eight roads show increases and fourteen de- creases Since July 1 the roads referred to above earned $216,1e1. 322. an increase of SIP ,32l over the s2O3.S1a.99S reported for the corresponding period of last year.

HOME MISSION MATTERS.
MRS. GEO. PEERY, EDIToR.)

MRS, OEO' fEkR1i EDITOk'J
On last Sunday Rev. 7. ]. Eskridge took
a public collection for the benefit of our
Industrial Home and School, Greeneville,
Tenn. About $l5 was raised. Mrs. Wiley
has ninety orphans there, some of them
children of Methodist itinerants.
The Home Mission Society will hold its
regular monthly meeting at the church on
the second Tuesnay Of this month.
The Home Mission Society is said TO be
applied Christianity" 1t is supposed to
develop our workers in every virtue held
forth by our Lord. 1t is supposed to lead
us to service for the most degraded and
most distant, and yet to lead US to The
sweetest self-sacrifce and tender personal
touch upon all we meet. Is it doing this
for you my sister?
The Society was very much pleased to
have Mrs, lie Fleure's name enrolled as
member at it's last meeting. We need
more women who are willing to give them
selves to this work. Sisters, do you not
owe your Lord part of your time and
talent? This line of service affords ample
room in which to employ it.
All the women of the Methodist church
are urgently invited to be present at our
next monthly meeting-the second Tues
day at three O'Clock.
Do we ever think to go quietly IN our
closets and pray for our leaders? Otimes
they are wearied at such times. May we
not bear them up in prayer?
Let US be honest and square our lives by
the great model-the Christ who passed
not by the scarlet woman even. Do we
really follow in lis steps?
There are few people in our town who
never 90 anywhere to hear the gospel
preached. Let the visiting committe seek
such persons out and help them in the
most tsctful way.
During the past century the population
of the United States has increased IA fold;
Protestant membership increased 81 fold;
all Methodism increased 90 fold; Southern
Methodism increased 246 fold.
A dozen years ago II per cent. Of the
cotton factories of the U. s. were located
the South. Now 81 per cent of them are
within our borders. Well may the Wo-
mans Home Mission Society send forth
trained workers to labor among the
masses.
