NEW YORK March 25.-Some ten
dency to depression had to be contested
in the market today and this was
effected by the large lifting of Few
individual stocks, notably Ontario &
Western, which was rushed up in the
final dealings to 6Sas. This did not
prevent an irregular tone for the
closing.
Union Pacific was rather heavy
throughout, rising only small fraction
over last night at any time, and this
had sentimental influence on the
whole market New York Central was
another strong feature and it was sup
posed to be associated with Ontario
e. Western. A number of the indus
trials made advances.
London's disposition to take profits
was the main factor in the heavy tone
of the first hour and after this infiu-
ence was overcome there was another
reaction due to apprehension of an un-
favorable bank statement. The $1S,-
000,0 900 loan contraction disclosed by
the statement helped to effect such a
reduction in deposits as to relieve the
reserve requirement to the extent of
nearly $6,000000 so that in spite of the
loss in cash Of $4,618,9O0, which was
considerably in excess of expectations,
the margin of the surplus was expand
The events of the week afford ground
for confidence that even with a further
loan contraction by the banks re-
sources will be found in the foreign ex
change market and in trust company
offerings to meet loan requirements.
1t is suggested that the present heavy
outward movement to foreign markets
of securities represents holdings accu-
nulated in the early stage of the mar
ket advance by foreigners, and which
have been held since with the proceeds
of loans in this market.
These loans are now being paid off
and the securities taken abroad to be
held in cheaper foreign markets. 1t
is said. by authorities in the exchange
market that this process of delayed
payment on foreign purchases of Sc
curities is the principal factor in the
present sharp downward tendency in
the price of foreign exchange. London
discounts hardened today and the
sterling rate declined at Berlin.
Total sales of bonds today were
$2.550.OOO.

| BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 25.-As a result Of
higher prices at Liverpool the wheat
market here had firmer tone at the
opening today. May was unchanged
to hc higher. to 81. .121a@1. 1875; July
was UP shade to A@3sc at 9ORc to
9O%c. The excellent outlook for the
new crop, however, induced some sell

option declined,to 90Ac.
Many operators were considerably
disturbed by rumorst that the, May deal
was not yet finished, and that it was
the intention of Wall street coterie
| to force the price of that option to a
much higher level The fact that one
of the recognized leaders of the east
ern spectators was in Chicago yester-
day gave some emphasis to such
gossip.
In addition to the revived interest in
the May option advices from Minneap-
oils claimed that there was a good de-
mand from elevators and millers for
all grades of cash wheat. The effect of
excellent weather conditions was COM
pletely offset, the market becoming
quite bullish
May was in good demand, but offer
ing of July, and in consequence that
the price of that option advanced to
81. IA without a single trade. AT $1.14
commission houses sold moderately and
the price reacted somewhat. A belief
that July had been largely oversold
caused fair buying of that option late.

with May at $1.13as. Final quotations

A liberal movement and a near ap-

PROGRESS AT PANAMA.
Details of Sanitary and Rehabilita-
 ti0n Work.

Details of Sanitary and Rehabilita-
 tion Work.
 Henry Harrison Lewis, writing in Harper's Weekly of the work of i'm provement at Panama and what has been done in digging the canal, says:
 Along the line of the canal and espe- eially at Corozal, fine hotels or bar racks two, three and four stories in height, with wide piazzas, have been erected, as well as a number of smaller cottages. They are occupied by the American employees. The piazzas are screened, the windows are screened in- side, and the men sleep under nettings. Clean iron beds have been put in, and the men are comfortable. Some 2,0O0 of the houses built by the French have been thoroughly repaired, cleaned, painted and screened and are now fit to be used by the employees of all classes.
 At Panama Governor Magoon has succeeded in building a large reservoir twelve miles from the city. The water is brought through a filter into the city, so that today Panama has complete first class water system, with fire plugs at every corner, and force of water capable of throwing stream many feet higher than the tallest building on the isthmus.
 Every house in Panama, not except ing the governors house, is regularly fumigated. All hotels are fumigated every ten days. The large office build ing of the canal commission is likewise treated every second Sunday. The re suit of this care can better be under stood when it is known that there have been only four cases of yellow fever on the isthmus since the 1st of September, and the hospitals contain about one third of the number of patients housed by them last May.
 During the progress of the two essen tial and preliminary tasks, the sanitary and the rehabilitation work, prepara- tions for the actual digging of the great canal have not been neglected. Mir Stevens has taken the important ques- ton of the Culebra cut in hand. He has devised an economical and effective method of excavating the big cut. Un- der the former regime the dirt was taken out in such d manner that a huge basin was left on the top of tine divide. This basin naturally collected water, which became 50 stagnant that it was found necessary to dig drainage tun- nel. Chief Engineer Stevens plan is to slice the sides of tine elevation. much as one would sharpen lead pencil. which in the case of the Culebra hill would continually leave point at the top.

AN EXPERIMENT IN ROMANCE

IT HE sat quite motionless, her beau-
 tiful hands lying idly in her lap, her eyes, more beautiful still, fixed with an icy indifference on space. She was aware that people were looking at her, far more earnestly than at the stage, but the knowledge did not change her attitude by so much as the flicker of an eyelid. She was used to being looked at. and bore it with a naughty patience, a magnificent resignation. What were such looks to hery
 She had a quiet manner. in cen tury when manners, as a rule. are not Quiet-are, perhaps, indeed. hardly manners at ala slow way of speak ing, and that type of beauty which is so delicate that 1t seems cold It was impossible to imagine any vul- gar passion ruffiing the exquisite serenity of her features. She was al- ways serene, always. in a sense, gra- cious and graceful. She was not. pos sibly, amusing. but then that would have been out of drawing for her. She never laughed. she seldom smiled. She had a way of lifting her eye brows when people made jokes in her presence which was so indescribsbly disconcerting that the offense was never repeated. Not that her look

DoN'Ts FOR SMOKERS.

Chicago Surgeons Recommend Them
 to Avoid Cancers of the Tongue.
 Don't smoke more than three cigars a day"
 Don't go beyond two pipefuls of to- bacco day if you smoke a pipe
 Don't hold your cigar or pipe con stantly in the same part of the mouth"
 Beware of damp tobacco; 1t often contains glycerin."
 These "dOn'ts" addressed to the man of average strength and normal nerves were voiced the other day by Chicago surgeons in discussion of cancer of the mouth or throat. caused frequently by excessive and careless smoking. The occasion of their talk is the case of Frederick L. Power, an actor. who re- gently submitted to an operation re- moving a large part of his tongue to check caneerous growth. says a Chi- cago dispatch. While 1t is not asserted that tobacco Is the cause of his Illness cases similar to bis in which nicotine was at least a contributory cause were recalled.
 The case of all cases cited by sur geons as Illustrating cancer caused by tobacco Is that of President Ulysses & Grant. He was known as one of the most constant smokers in public life. When the cancer developed 1t was at once ascribed to this habit.
 Dr. William A. Senn. recognized au- fhority on tnmor and cancer. said:
 "Cancer in the mouth Is not neces- sarily caused by the use of tobacco. Cancer. as far as science has revealed 1t. Is due to a constant irritation in q certain spot. For instance. a man who smokes q doEen cigars a day or as many cigarettes is apt to hold such cigar either on the right or left side of the mouth. This naturally causes ir- ritation in just particular place and. in some cases. should there be any sug- gestion or sign of cancer in the system, if Is likely that the growth would be attracted to the spot where such irTita- ton was caused

CHILDREN CLEAN STREETS.
Youngsters of Wisconsin Town Band Together for That
 Purpose.

Not many cities of the same size go ahead of Sheboygan for public spirit, !" says a citizen of Chicago, according to the Milwaukee Sentinel T have just returned from my first visit to the city and it was revelation.
 The school children all wear green buttons. and after had seen several hundred of these about the streets asked a merchant what they signified He said that the children had all been banded into a society to keep the city neat and clean. Each child who joins is given a button. and from then on 1t is his duty to keep the streets and yards cleared of the little bits of paper and other waste material which present such an unsightly appearances.
 The youngsters have entered thor oughly into the spirit of the thing. They have collected more than s1OO by popular subscription, and with this money they are planning to purchase waste paper boxes to be put on the different street corners"

He had taken her by surprise. he had frightened her. and bewildered her, and-yes-fascinated her. That was the word. He was so terribly in earnest, so terribly alive, and human, and-of course-so madly in love with her. The duke-well. this was quite different from the duke. The white goddess, in her pedestal, looked down and trembled with vague unrest.
 And then, quite suddenly. it came the revolt, the inevitable revolt from this frozen. unnatural life which she had lived for so long; the desire for freedom, for that freedom which had never been hers. She remem- bered once seeing a lark in a cage beating passionate wings against the bars. For a moment she understood the mad, blind longing of the birds heart and the terrible meaning of captivity.
 For a moment, just while St. Charles influence was upon her, St. Charles voice sounded in her ear, St Charles touch woke her to life. Oh. 1t was very mad and bad, no doubt, but just while it lasted she felt i'm measurably superior to the prim, beautiful being whose empty eyes smiled at her each morning from her mirror

St. Charles was merely the medium through which a momentary madness had affected her. And the madness had passed.

PIGS LONG JOURNEY HOME
Young Porker Swims Two Rivers and Travels Several Miles
 to Get Back.

A farmer living down toward liar wards had most knowing pig which he sold to a Little Islander, who took his prize in boat to his home at the island, reports the Kennebec Journal. Safely shut up in the spacious pig pen was this new inmate of the family. and the farmer man went peacefully to rest, much content with his new purchase.
 In the morning the pen was empty and no little pig could be found on the island Some time afterward he went again to town and there saw the first owner of the lost one I've lost my pig" he gloomily announced. T know It," chuckled his friend. Hes down to my house, came back the next morn lng."
 What had that homesick little pig done but swan across two rivers, the Little Island river and the Kennebec, walked across Big Little Island, trot- ted happily down the two miles of road on the Richmond shore, and finally presented himself to his old master. footsore and hungry, but mighty glad to be home once more.

THE AuToMoRILE IN INDIA.
Has Made Hit with Wealthy Ma tives Who Take to It in
 a Hurry.


 Motoring for pleasure and for utility purposes would seem to have firmly es- tabIished itself in India. The fast speed ing car was just the thing to appeal to the wealthy native. and hence it is that in Calcutta and Bombay elegant motor cars are very familiar objects.
 In Bombay the wealthy Parsee, Mo hammedan and Hindoo are in the major ity. The European takes back seat. so to speak, and thus we see the most fash ionable car the property Of the native who thoroughly delights in this fas- cinating means of locomotion. Speed and reliability trials have done great deal to make motoring fashionable, and in India, at any rate, there is great fu- ture before the automobile.
 The business man now discards his gharry, but saves time and money by using his latest motor car. The ticca gharry wallah is becoming really alarmed, for his hire is in less request and soon he may pass off the face of the earth altogether
 The recent reliability trials, Poona to Satara and back, for the Aga Khan's cup, showed up six horsepower car in a very favorable light. This car, driven by Lieut.. Jenkins. won the cup, but. while it did so well, other cars ac- quilted themselves most creditably and demonstrated that reliability is assured to users of motor cars in India.
 Every native ruler and chief in the country now possesses stableful of motor cars, and when the prince and princess of Wales pay their visits to these native potentates they will be met. not on elephants clothed with heavy gold raiment, but in the most up-to-date fventiath century motor car
