WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY VIM. 7. Williams.

BY VIM. 7. Williams.
There was a fair amount of activity
in the cotton market, and with Oc-
casional minor fluctuations, prices tend
ed strongly upward. Final quotations
show a net advance for the week of
about cent in the summer months,
and about half as much in the new
crop.
The strength was attributed main
~ to the aggressive support by the
bull leaders: but the movement was
also quite light, especially the re-
ceipts at ports and interior towns.
Yet, although the port, receipts for
the week were only $4,000 bales.
against $4,000 bales last year, the
net in sight was only $4,000 bales less
than for the same week last year.
Interior stocks continue to gain over
last year, and are now about 40, 900
bales larger. If, as seems only fair
to assume, similar conditions prevail
| in the uncounted towns, we must ex~
pect the movement to exceed last years
again before very long.
For the present. and until the pros
| poets for the new crop commence to
| exert an influence, the course of the
| market will depend upon the opera
| tions of the bull leaders. They have
| the market we'll in hand, but they will
| want to realize one of these days. In
| the meantime, as the new crop months
work UP towards 121kc or 13c. they
| offer a good chance to sell.
Grain and provisions were very weak,
and show heavy declines throughout
the list. Various causes were assign
| ed for the weakness. such as more
| favorable weather and more bearish
! statistics, but the chief cause was
realizing by heavy operators. especial
ly in May wheat, and in provisions.
May wheat made a net loss of &c, and
July about 415c. Corn, and oats de-
cIined 304c. The market for provis-
ions was pretty badly demoralized at
times, but made closing rally of
about 40c in pork, and about 20 points
in lard and in ribs. Pork, however clos
ed about $500 lower, lard about 50
points. and ribs 20 points lower.
The decline. which not unexpected,
has gone rather further than was gen.
orally looked for. Prices may drop a
little further early in the week. but
are getting low enough now to buy
with reasonable confidence.

FLUoREScIN RIVAL OF X RAY.
Harmless Fluid Compound Exposes
Internal Organs to the Naked Eye.
Interesting Experiments.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
New York. Feb. lathe Roentgen
ray has a formidable rival for the
treatment of internal diseases in fluo-
fescin. DR.. Robert c. Kemp, consult
ing physician of the Manhattan State
Hospital, tells of experiments made by
himself in an article in the Medical
Journal:
BY use of the fluid. a harmless crys-
talline compound dissolved in water.
the entire internal organs of the body
become at once exposed to the naked
eye as clearly as through a transparent
film of glass. The membranes of the
stomach are so distinct that their out
lines can be traced on the outside of
the body in a dark or light room.
The new use of the fluid is said to be
OF tncalculable value in the treatment
of abdominal diseases. Its efficacy
was demonstrated before a body of
students at clinic in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons a week ago.
Fluorescin is nontoxic. absolutely
harmless. and is taken by the patient
on an empty stomach in a glass of wa
ter, in which from fifteen to twenty
grains of sodium biearbonate. one
dram of glycerine and one-eighth of a
gram OF unforeseen are QlSSOIVeQ.
The patient is then conducted into
a dark ROOM" says DIR. Kemp, land
the electric light introduced. The pic
ture obtained is much superior to that
produced by the method of plain wa
ter. 1t shows the size and location
of the stomach, and the light is so ex-
cellent that I believe it would aid in the
differentiation of the tumors of the liv-
er and intestines. In addition. sub
jects with thick abdominal walls or
much adipose tissue can be thus salts
factorily examined, which was often
impossible heretofore"
The experiments of DIR. Kemp have
been going on for a year or more. with
the object of finding a substitute for
the X ray in the illumination of the in
ternal organs of the body.
Experiments were also made on a
dog and a rabbit, which were treated
simultaneously with alkaline and alco-
holic solutions of fiuorescin, two grains
and one grain respectively, and two pa
tients underwent the treatment of in
ternal application for stomach troubles
with excellent results.
According to DR.. Kemp, the f1uores-
cent medium increases in activity on
exposure to light, and can be prepared
a long time ahead. The solution leaves
a. slight yellow-red stain on the hands.

BANKER CLEw's VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall street.

wall street.
New York, March 5.-Inertia seems
to have settled down on the stock
market, both dealings and fluctuations
having been confined within exceed
ingly narrow limits. Investors, mar
ket leaders, professionals, and in fact
all classes of operators, are in a very
conservative mood, determined appar-
emily to await the outcome of pend
ing events before engaging in commit
ments for the future. Indirectly, the
war between Russia and Japan is ex-
eerting a very potent influence on the
local market. On the continent, and
especially in France, an important
contingent have been taken by sur
prise. Evidently they believed war
would be averted, and, being some
what upprepared, the necessarily rapid
adjustment to new conditions is de-
cidedly inconvenient. 1t is among
these classes that losses have fallen
most severely, causing more or less
anxiety concerning settling day in
Paris, where there has been a great
deal of forced liquidation.
The extent to which the big trans
portation companies are pressing their
demands upon the money market, eth
er through new issues or by temporary
loans, is another depressing factor,
inasmuch as it increases the supply of
better grade investments to the detri-
ment of lower grades. Still another
hindrance to improvement is the posi-
ton of the industrials. the majority
of which are showing decided declines
in earnings. OF course, there are some
very welcome exceptions to this ten
dency, but experience is already prov
ing that this class of investments bear
no comparison whatever with railroads
in the stability of earning power,

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.
Advance in Price of Cotton Caused
Difficulty.


Manchester, March 6.-The further
advance in the price of cotton increas-
ed the difficulty OF selling in the cloth
market during the past week, and
complaints of an unsatisfactory turn
over are general. There was healthy
inquiry from India and slightly more
trade in some directions, but the ma
lority of the offers proved to be inn
practicable. Buyers are watching the
course of cotton. hoping for more fav-
orable conditions.
Lately manufacturers have been bet
Yer fortified with orders so there has
oeen no marked pressure of new book
lngs. The third successive sale Of TO-
OoO bales of cotton at Liverpool pro-
voked much comment, and Il Is sur
missed that many spinners have be-
come anxious about future supplies.
IN yarns the strong tone prevailing
was the feature. with disappointing
business except In odd quarters. where

OUTCASTS TO TRY TO HOLD
RUMP COUNTY CONVENTION
Another Effort to be Made to Arouse
Strife in Ranks OF Democratic
Party Here.

From round about sources. largely
as usual. through republican channels.
comes the information that elements
once within. but now without the dem
ocratic party. are about 10 undertake
to again disrupt the party in Rock
Island county.
The means to be employed to this
end so it is understood, provide for an
attempt TO hold a rump county con
vention early the coming month. which
Will be adopted as an excuse for op
posing the regular democratic organ
ization. In view of the fact that the
democrats of Rock Island county have
attended two county conventions al
ready this year, and have discharged
about all the duties that repose in
the party. and are now only awaiting
the further action of the party with
reference To senatorial and congress
sional conventions, the proposed rump
county convention i likely To prove
a complete fiasco III every sense of the
word.
The democratic party in Rock Island
city and county is weary of strife and
Will not be lead into it again at the
instance or call of elements thrice
repudiated for the very purpose of in
surfing the state of harmony that now
exists in the party. The democratic
party in Rock Island city and county
has attended two county cOnveu-
tons this year whore one cOnven-
ton would have fully answered all
purposes. but the representative mem.
Der of the party throughout the county
were willing to give their time to two
different conventions in order that the
party organization might be restored
to good hands and Il repetition OF
former error might be avoided.
The democratic party in Rock Isl
and city and county has assorted il
self in the creation of proper political
organization controlled by the party.
and will Of course not be influenced
much less led by an element that
has been renowned and superseded
but still insists that subordinate in
stitutions are paramount to the power
that creates them.
The democratic party of Rock Island
city and county thar refuses TO be
drawn into further turmoil is willing
to have its representative character
contrasted with the Standard of the Gle
ment that responds to the latest move
designed to again throw the party into
a state of decentralization.
Contempt is the best answer that
representative democrats can make to
this latest proceeding on the part OF
party OutcaStS.
