LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Lanston made another move upward to-
day. and while the trading was not large
In volume still It was OF interest as show
ing better prices than have prevailed In
this stock for some time past. For the
first time In a good many days the figure
10 was heard In connection with that stock.
Tor after sales which reached as high az
ls% the asking price was placed at is. At
that time the bid did not rise above 15st,
and SO the broker who offered the stock
was In no particular danger OF parting
with It.
Mergenthaier also sold on higher level.
which was 1875 and fractionaIly higher. but
there was not a great market for It or for
anything else on the list This was Illus
trated when the preferred stock OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Company
was up. After sales Of broken and quota
tion lots to limited extent at 30 and an
eighth of point less there were bids on
the floor for over two hundred shares at
$50. and the stock In that quantity ard
apparently in larger quantities was offered
at an eighth advance.
The difference OF an eighth OF a point was
sufficient to prevent trading. However.
after the call the broker who had the stock
for sale evidently thought better OF 1t and
supplied the demand at that figure.
There was not enough interest taken IN
the common stock of the company to make
change In the figures Of the day before.
One of those galvanic movements in the
stock of the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company took place. and alto
gether some thirty shares in broken and
quotation lots were employed in the trans
actions recorded, with the result that the
price for the stock ex-dy!dend Is now 800,
while yesterday the asking price. with the
quarterly dividend of 3 per cent, was 5-D
and the bid was 2aS.
The stock, however, is so strongly held
that Ii Is seldom that any of 1t comes on
the market. and therefore the quotations.
as is always the case with securities of
that character. may depend on what a
broker takes the notion to make il.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2o--It was learned
from excellent sources today that the large
financial interests are entirely confident
with respect to conditions In general and
believe that the market will be much more
active and considerably higher little later
In the meantime these Interests are almost
entirely Indifferent with respect to the daily
fluctuations I'm prices
1t seems to be expected on the basis Of
Information received within the last twenty
four hours that we are likely to get more
gold from Europe In the near future than
has been generally expected.
While there Is no definite news on which
AL opinion can be based with respect To the
ultimate outcome OF the coal labor sitla-
tlon. men who are getting private advices
daily from the soft and hard coal districts
are more confident than ever that there will
be general strike In the bituminous dis
trct.
The Information comes from good sources
that large inside interests which are alto
gether familiar with the plans of tne New
York Central management regard with
great favor the decision of the directors to
ask the authorization of $10o.0lD0j0 addi-
uonal stock While nothing OF an official
character has been given out on this point
the statement comes from circles of coase-
quence that the idea that the Chicago and
Northwestern and other companies In (which
the Fanderbilts are the dominant factors
are TO be practically consolidated in due
time should not be abandoned. 1t is be-
heved also that in the not distant future
an offer of New York Central stock will be
made to the outstanding holders of Lake
Shore stock.
The Texas law taxing railroads per cent
on gross receipts has been declared null
and imperative because of certain of its
provisions which are in violation OF the
state constitution. The decision was
handed down by the state appellate court
at Austin.
The Pennsylvania railroad has advanced
the wages of the trainmen working on the
Monongahela division 10 per cent, and tic
engineers and fremen OF the Pittsburg
suburban passenger trains are to get in
creased pay.

1t Is denied in Pittsburg advices that the
Manufacturers Light and Heat Company
is to be acquired by the United Railways
Company Of San Francisco. 1t Is said at
Pittsburg that there is no foundation in a
rumor sent out from there yesterday that
the light and heat company is to issue s15,-

AUTUMNAL CATARRH.
Disease Pre- ~alent Now-Hyomei Will
Cure It Quickly.

A great many people suffer more
with catarrh during the fall months
than at any other season of the year
and changes in weather seem to have
a bad effect uron the disease.
AT the first warning Of catarrh,
cne should begin the use Of Hyomei.
1t cures catarIh by the simple and
natural method of breathing medi-
Gated air into the nose. throat and
lungs, in this way killing the germs
of catarrhal poison, healing and sooth-
ing the irIitated mucous membrane
ana entering the blood with the xoy-
gen, thus driving all catarrhal germs
from the system.
II you have any off the ordinary
catarrh symptoms, such as offensive
breath, burning pains in the throat,
coughing, raising of mucous, Difficult
ty to breathe, sneezing, huskiness,
discharge from the nose, droppings in
the throat, coughing spasms, etc, be-
gin the use of Hyomei at once
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

Drug Co. give their personal guaran-
tee with every package that money

could be improved by such painstak-
ing methods rs our European rivals
employ, is in fair way to exclude

petitors Cuba. says Mr.. Brown
ELL is the only country in the world
not an integral part of the United
States, where American trade and
commerce take precedence over those
OF all others Her buying power j.,
about $lJO,0J0,Oo0 a year, and she
spends half of this in the United
States. The people of Cuba, although
only 100000 in number, buy of the
United States more than the half bill
hon people Of China and Japan.
What the future has in store for
Cuba will depend largely upon the
behavior of her people in the present
crisis, but whether their fate be indie
pendence qualified by Platt's amend
ment or annexation to the United
States, the discovery of Cuba as IL
land of promise by the American in
vestor assures the DEVELOPMENT of her
teeming resources under any form Of
government, provided it is stable.
The investment of $l50.5O0,000 al
ready noted is but beginning and
the G,000 American settlers are only
an advance guard. There are plans
for pouring as many millions into Gu
ba, and the tide of emigration has
been setting more strongly toward the
island every day until the outs rose
against the ms, and the problem of
settling the contention, or the inter
vening to restore order, was thrust
upon the United States government.
