YEsTERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.
Little Change in the Tone and charae-

Little Change in the Tone and Charac- ter.
 New York, April 29-There was little change to-day in the tone or character of the stock market The days news was not favorable to values and the early firmness gave way before the closing. That firfnness was due to a total absence of selling pressure. Lon don helped in a sympathetic way, but did nothing practical in the way of buying stocks. The London market has made distinct response to the easy money conditions, and the invest ment demand there is reported to be decidedly improved. Reports of rail- road earnings at hand to-day made poor showing. The average of the de- cline in net earnings for March is ex-
 banding to substantial percentage The high priced coalers are inclined to run off as easily as they have recently advanced.
 Stocks held rather firmly, however, until the announcement of tthe engage ment of $3,500,0o in gold for export to-
 morrow by J. F. Morgan & Go. A small enga cement had been announced earl- fer in the day. This brings the total enga agements for the week up to S12,- 500, 1000, which is far in excess of any
 exports from New York for a single week heretofore. The record exports
 for a month stand at s27, 450,00O for
 May, 1894. The money market was still
 unaffected by this heavy drain, but the
 dimensions of the government had an
 offset on sentiment. To-day's engage
 ments of gold will not figure in to-inor-
 rows bank statement. Without them
 the earlier outgo of gold seems to have
 been considerably offset by the contin-
 ued receipts of currency on balance
 from the interior and by the transfers
 from San Francisco on Japanese ac-
 count. Sub-treasury operations have
 taken from the banks 6,14S, 900, but the decrease in cash is likely to be reduced
 to under $2000,O00 by the currency re- ceipts by the regular express move Iment. The only price movements of

INSIDE FACTS ABOUT APoLLINA


 As such an enormous quantity of Apollinaris water is consumed each year. over thirty millions of bottles, so high an authority on matters pertain ing to health as the London Lancet re- gently sent one of it's special commits sioners to the spring, which is at Neu- enahr, Germany, in order to place be- fore the medlcai profession an author itative description of the bottling of this water.
 The report or this commissioner. published ill a recent issue of the Lan- cet shows that he was given access to every nook and corner of the vast es- tahlishment in which the spring is sit uated. and that he saw from beginning to end the process by which the water is bottled there, ready for delivery to all parts of the world. This report is full of interesting scientific details de- scribing the methods oc bottiing and shows that the purity and healthful- ness of the water as it comes from the spring is preserved; it says that the chemical analyses which he made are in accord with those given at various times by the late Professor Virchow Professor Liebreich, the late Sir Ed ward Frankland, and other authorities, and that the water wherever it is bought is Identified with the water taken directly from the spring, as ABallinaris is bottled only at the spring land only with it's own natural gas The supply of both water and gas from the spring is considerably in excess of the present enormous demands.
