LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Omcials connected with some Of the
trust companies in the city believe that
recent statements in the newspapers in
connection with the appointment of a trus-
tee in the Waggaman case are misleading
In so far as they convey the impression
that any one of these corporations is ready
and willing to act in that capacity.
The presidents of several of these compa-
nies said that instead of seeking such a
place that they have declined to serve.
even in the event the choice should fall
upon them. They do not hesitate to say
that the reason for such a course is prn-
cipaily that In their opinion the funds
that will be available will be entirely mad
equate to meet the claims. and as a result
a large number of the creditors will be in
clined to hold the trustee responsible for
their losses.

Health Plans for Panama.

1t has all along been recognized that
one of the greatest problems in con-
nection with this gigantic task of con-
structing the isthmian canal would be
the sanitation of the canal zone. 1t is
not q climate where white men thrive.
and for any race it is n place where n
high death rate is inevitable under
existing conditions. The French found
that out to their sorrow. but the United
States government, fresh from valu-
able experience along the same line at
Havana and Manila. is perfecting prac-
teal plans for making the canal zone
healthy and safe before anything else
is done there. In the July number Of
the Review of Reviews Colonel Will
liam c. Gorgas, the medical officer
who will have charge of the health
problem, tells of the size of this prob
lem and the plans which have been
formed to solve it.
There are just two maladies
which carry off unacclimated hui
mans who attempt to live i'm
Panama. One is yellow fever and
the other is malarial fever. the lat
ter being much the deadlier Of the two.
During the French attempts at canal
construction the death rate sometime;
ran "a high rs GOO in the 1000. The
death rate in New York city is twenty
in the 1000. Colonel Gorgas declares
with a confidence which carries weight
that he can reduce the death rate in the
canal zone, not to that of New York
but at least to that of the most healthy
tropical country. Specifically, he prom
Uses to have yellow fever and
malarial fever wholly unknown. This
is not n theory, he says, but thing to
be achieved through the application OF
established scientific facts. In Havana
in three years the death rate was re-
duced from 3o5 in the 1000 to less than
fifty. This was accomplished by
breaking up the breeding places Of the
mosquitoes which carried both yellow
and malarial fever. There has not
been n case of yellow fever in Havana
for more than two years.
However, the problem in Panama
will not be quite SO simple as it sounds
First, pure water is to be provided al
along the route, together with 4 good
system of drainage. Then a chain OF
hospitals will be erected along the
canal, not, as might be supposed. fol
the treatment of sick laborers, but tt
put the native population in a healthy
condition.
There are now upwards of 10000 ma
tives living in the canal zone. Thes'

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the LEADING Stocks.

New York July 1.-THE wavering and
uncertain fluctuations in today'S stock
market gave place to some positive evi-
dences Of strength late in the day with n
considerable increase in animation. The
immediate movement was largely profess
SiOnal. The room traders later became
suspicious that the selling. yesterday.
was designed to depress stocks in order
that stocks sold at a profit then might
be re-bought at lower level This sus-
picion was the principal influence in the
late rise which embraced the market quite
the country's harvests was probably an
important influence in the better tone
of speculative sentiment.
The weakly bulletin of the weather
bureau, today. aroused some apprehen-
sion in the grain markets owing to the
damage to winter wheat reported. Some
rather alarming private advices regard
ing crop damage also had an effect in
the wheat market, but Were ignored in
the stock market The strike OF meat
workers strengthened the provisions mar
ket but cannot he said to have aided the
rise in stocks. Some poor eturns of rail
road gross earnings for the first week
in July also made their appearance The
market closed active and strong and with
many net gains ranging from TO = points.
Prices generally crossed the high level
of last week.
There was some irregularity in the bond
market, due to early weakness in a few
issues. Total sales. par value. $3.2I0UOO

Used in it's purchase and has already
booked Il $20,O0O,O0O order from New
York firm-200,000 tons of sulphur pei
annum for the next five years. About
20. 600, goo tons of sulphur are already
"blocked out" and ready for shipment
rs soon as the aerial railway is ready
to hustle them down the 1900 feet OF
,nountainside and start them for Vera
Cruz and a market. Sulphur has been
taken from Popocatepetl ever since the
time of fernando Cnrtes, but not the
pure crater sulphur; this is the first
appearance of modern science and caE-
ital on the scene. The Mexican Herald
remarks:
THE government report, which has
never been disputed, shows that there
are about 14S.000,O0O tons of sulphur iii
the great crater at depth of 200 met
ers, and that, according to the best cal
culatiOns, this is increasing annually
at the rate of 1 per cent, or each year
there Is made in the volcano from de-
pOsits more than 1.4S0,000 additional
tons. In addition to the mining opera
tons proper which are to be carried
on by the company, arrangements have
been made to take over $500 acres of
park land, at the base of the mountain,
and a woodland of 10000 acres. which
contain a supply of water power sufIi :
cient to furnish any amount Of horse
power required by the company for
any purpose. From the woodland the
company expects to secure the timbers
necessary to build the wooden towers,
from which the steel cables of the
aerial railway are to he suspended. A
cog railway up to the summit of the
volcano is also projected, and n hotel
and a sanatOrium for cOnsumptives may
also be established after the enterprise
has obtained 4 firm foOthold. From the
ice found on the mountain, which is
of the purest quality and perfectly
blue, it is expected that a large bust
ness can be started, in cutting it to
supply the residents of the valley, es-
recially the City of Mexico, with ice at
a cheaper rate than they can get it
from the ice factories of the capital.

Reflections Of q Bachelor.

It's very easy for a girl to marry a
man if she doesn't want to.
A woman makes an agreement so as
to be able to break it if it does not suit
her.
It's curious, but a girl is sent to
school to be educated to be supported as
a wife and a boy to college to be edu-
Gated to support her.
Maybe the woman who brags to 9TH
ers about her husband thinks II she
could make them believe it she could
make herself believe it.
1t is very unreasonable of woman
to refuse to understand that when a
man has been working late in his office
and comes home at daylight it isn't
queer for him to ask If dinner is ready
yet.-New Work Press.
