cheap wheels and the getting one was a
sort of catch-as-catch-can business. But
we have changed all that. Now, when
boy or girl is to have wheel, it is Sc
lected to fit. What will do for one will
not answer for another and the makers
of wheels have learned that the worst
service they can do their products is to
send out one that is not entirely salts
factory. No longer can one buy a BIZ
cycle from responsible firm on the hit
or-miss plan.
Here some one will rise with tale of
how he bought wheel for his boy and
it did not last him any length of time at
all. 'He gave it no more wear than I
gave mine, but it was SO poorly built
that it went to pieces before he had it a
month. That cured me of high priced
wheels! Get boy cheap one and let
him use chat up and then get aim
another"
That principle may have applied once.
but it's day is over. The modern juvenile
bicycles produced by first class house
are strongly built, to meet the knock
about usage of the younger generation.
They are made of the same high grade
material and receive the same care in

LOANS ON REAL ESTATE.
Bill Giving Authority to National
Banks Favorably Reported.

Representative Prince of Illinois, from
the committee on banking and currency.
has submitted to the House favorable re-
port on House bill 6278, permitting nation
al banks to make loans on real estate as
security. The report recites:
Under the present operation of the ma
tional banking system, which was enacted
into law in 1884, banks are denied the privi-
lege of lending money on real estate. while,
on the other hand, they are permitted to
make loans on any and all kinds of per-
sonal security, as well as buy and own
bonds. Conditions have very greatly
changed during the long period that has
interviewed since the enactment of the ma
tional banking law; therefore. your COM
mittee recommend that all national banking
associations be permitted to lend money on
real estate when such loans are properly
safeguarded."
The committee recommends that with
minor amendments the bill should be
passed

COTTON LOWER.
Strong Rally After the Opening, but
Prices Fall Away.

NDw ORLEANS, March 19.-The cotton
market opened excited. prices ranging from
points down to ~ up, compared with yes
terday's close. There was decided ad~
vance shortly after the opening. but con-
ditions were unsettled.
Unusual interest attached to the opening
of the market as a result of the Suliy fall
ure, and when the bell rang there was
large crowd of brokers about the ring.
Soon after the opening decided upward
tendency developed and prices advanced
until May was 81 points higher than yes
teIday, at 13.S0, and July was 40 points
higher, at l4.19. The advance was mainly
due to surprisingly good Liverpool mar
ket. After the first half hour of this morn
ing New York displayed weakness. and tho
local market was quick to follow the de-
cline which brought May down to 1885 and
July to 1880. The ring was too busy to al
low much discussion of Sully's failure. This
belief grows, however, that he will meet
his obligations dollar for dollar. There are
no new developments locally in this direc-
ton.

1t Is probable that an end may be made

erument OF full recognition to Gen. Morales

of the Mayfiowers trip was to confirm the
official opinion that Morales has sufficient

United States and other nations will pre-
vent the Illicit supply of arms and aminu-
milton to the insurgents. As 1t is, the ar
rival of every vessel with ammunition In
her cargo marks the revival Of the revo-
lutionary movement, which seems quite
purposeless. The State Department has
already given some intimation to the ship
ping interests doing business with San
Domingo on that subject, having satisfied
itself that nearly all of the arms and am
munition imported into San Domingo came
II ON the United States. There may be fur
ther action in that direction before long,
all with the view to terminating the pres
ent depIorable condition In San Domingo
without direct Intervention by the United
States
