BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

Trains by 1908.
Samuel Rea. vice presfdsnt Of the Penn
syivania railroad, who Is In charge OF the
improvements and tunnel work of the COM
pany In New York city. denied yesterday
the rumors that the tuRnel builders had
met insurmountAbie obstacles In boring
four tubes under the East river. He said:
I'VE never expected to complete this
great work. which ID to cost. In round fig
ures. about $90.O00.oo before the fall OF
1908. and from the present rate of progress.
which Is about what we expected. feel
sure that we shall be running trains under
the North river, the city OF New York and
the East river to Long Island by the date
We had planned. OF course. In any great
work. especially submarine tunneling. Diff
cuities win arise. We have had to face
problems. and big ones, too. but we have
faced them and are solving them. The real
estate interests on Long Island have been
impatient at what they thought was delay
in the East river work. but I can assure
could reasonably have been expected. We
are making tests Of the freezing process OF
tunnel construction. but that does not

cesSfuf and we may not. We shall make
tests of other methods of construction and
of any new discoveries that may tend to

I'VE may decide to bore two additional
tunnels under both the East and the North
rivers. as our franchise and War DEPART
ment permits allow, but that has not yet
been decided upon. 1t depends, of course.
upon what the outlook is toward the time
Of completion of the present work: that Is,

WILL LEAVE FRANCE.
Mutual Life Refuses to Invest Heavily
in French Securities.


It Is announced that the Mutual Life In
surance Company will discontinue doing
business In France. It is probable that the
same course will soon be taken by the
New York Life, and possibly by the Equ-
table.
Withdrawal OF the Mutual from France
is due to a law passed there a year ago
providing that all American insurance
companies doing business in France must
invest in French securities an amount
equal to the reserve on their French poll
cies- Compliance with this law meant that
the Mutual and the New York Life COM
panies together would be obliged to invest
about 50. 900 in that country. The re-
serve of the Mutual is said to be $25, 900. 600
and the New York Life between $1,000, 600
and $4,000, 600.
For some time after the American COM
panies withheld action pending a decision
as to whether the decree was retroactive.
Had the law applied only to the reserve
accommodating after the law became effec-
tive 1t is only the companies would have
complied. but 1t decided that they
must invest a sum equal to the present
reserve. which involved a larger invest
ment In French securities than was de-
sired. These securities would yield only
8 and 31a per cent profit, while those held
in this country yield and AZ per cent.

LONDON MARKET DEPRESSED
Situation in Russia May Greatly At
feet Values.
WEEKS REPORTS SATISFACTORY
Weekly Bank Statement Shows Ma
teriaI Increase in Surplus Reserve
Decrease in the Loan Account


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Today's stock
market opened with a rather less unset
tied tone than might have been expected
In view of the semi-demoralized character
of Yesterdays dealings. There was nothing
whatever In the mornings news which
would account for the heavy pressure to
which the market was subjected yesterday,
and none of the rumors in connection with
It's tone at that time was particularly edi-
flying The London stock market today was
generally depressed. especially for Russian
securities and feature of the dealings at
that point was the heavy selling for Paris
account. There was no special intelligence
with regard to the state of affairs in Rus
sia, but 1t was said that serious disturb
ances were apprehended for tomorrow.
This mornings routine developments were
few in number. The weekly reports Of the
mercantile agencies upon the state of the
country's trade were satisfactory exhibits.
and advices relating to the crops were en-
couraging. The grain market opened weak.
The preliminary indications pointed to
rather negative showing In the bank state
ment but so far as the stock market was
concerned none of the matters which have
been referred to came In for much discus
sion.
Interest seemed to be absorbed entirely
with the more or less technical aspects of
the dealings, and conjecture was mostly
taken up with the probable sources of
the recent heavy liquidation In securities.
Today's dealings developed no features OF
special interest
The United States Steel shares displayed
rather better degree Of support than they
did yesterday, a circumstance which was
helpful to the remainder of the market.
The other more active features of the In
dustrial quarter were American Smelling
and Amalgamated Copper. There was no
particular news relating to the railway list,
where transactions were largest in Reading,
Southern and Union Pacific, Atchison, st.
Paul, Baltimore and Ohio and Northern
Pacific. The Traction shares were COM
paratively dull. AS has been the case
throughout the week, little support was
evident in any direction, except that de-
rived from the covering of short contracts.
The weekly bank statement showed an
Increase in surplus reserves of 81, 142, 900,
and the banks now hold So, oo4 900 cash in
excess OF the lawful requirements. Surplus
reserves last year were 81. 65S,OOO, In 1904.
$50. lO5, OOO and in 1903, $S.377, 600 Today
increase in surplus resulted from gain in
cash amounting to a.179,0O0. as the cash
item showed an increase of only $144.OOO.
The loan account decreased $4,000. The
figures of the statement were fairly well
in accord with the general expectations.
