LONDON. Marsh 24.-Nobody would have
suffered much IL the stock exchange had
been closed all week. for there has been
no business worth mentioning. Some old In

and they consider 1t the part Of wisdom to
move very cautiously SO long as the Mo-
roccan question hangs in the balance.
Another influence tending to discourage
trading has been the continued ssrinsency
of the money market and the uncert liIify
as to what will be the condition of tie mar
ket after the turn of the quarter. Still
another thing that has unfavorab!y affect
ed business is the unsatisfactory state into
which the mines department has settled IT.

HEARD,ON CHANGE

The past week has been uneventful in
the local stock market The volume of
business done has been of limited char
acter and there have been no DEVELOPMENTS
OF consequence that have had any bearing
on the situation. The reason for the life
tessness of the market is not very apparent
except perhaps it may be the result of a
sort OF sympathetic reflection of the condi-
ton in the New York market.
Ihere Is available money with the hanks
and while the amount is not claimed to be
large, still it is thought the supply on hand
is ample for local needs. There is still
heard the criticism, but perhaps not so
frequently as used to be the case. that If
local bankers kept their funds at home In
stead OF sending them to New York to take
the per cent paid by the banks or to avail
OF the higher interest rates of that center
there would be no lack of funds for local
business.
While this practice has not ceased en-
tireiy, and local funds are kept in banks
away from here, yet IT Is by no means as
general as was once the case The expIa-
nation lies simply in the fact that the BUSH
ness or the city and the financial REQUIRE
ments are much greater than they were a
lew years ago. The condition of the bank
ing business has changed and there is
more competition. Deposits are sought for
ana Inducements are held out in order to
get business.
The payment of interest by national banks
on current account is not unknown and
special efforts are made to furnish accom-
notation to customers. There is not the
same stiffness about margins on loans and
in other respects the rather spirited stir
for business that has become a feature of
the local banking situation has changed the
conditions that formerly prevailed here.
All this has direct bearing on the bust
ness of the local stock exchange and also
accounts for the increase In it's volume
which has been SO notable during the past
year or so. In fact, to this placing of
local capital in the securities listed on the
exchange, especially in the form of loans,
is attributed in part at least the present
dullnesS of the market.
1t Is believed that just at present a pro-
cess of assimilation is going on and until
1t is completed it is not likely there will
be any permanent or extensive revival of
activity In local securities.
The change in the estimate Of the invest
ing public for investments of this class is
looked upon as an evidence of their grow
ing value and Importance, and there is no
doubt a degree of confidence not only in
the corporations, whose interests are here
but also in their future 1t Is argued in re-
gard to this latter consideration that as
the business of the city grows these vested
interests, they might be termed also
appreciate in value. That has been the
record of the past and so it is reasoned
that 1t will continue to be a quality of the
future.

HELD FOR SMUGGLING.
Richly Dressed Woman's Cloak Sc
creted Fine Lace.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Charged with
attempting to smuggle fine lace, valued at
several hundred dollars, into this country,
richly dressed woman, who gave her name
rs Ellen Gathers, which the customs Off
Gals believe is fictitious, was arrested by
customs officials today upon the arrival of
the steamer La Savoie- She was arraigned
before United States Commissioner Shields
and held in $500 bail for examination
Monday. Bail was furnished by a woman
friend. who deposited two $1,000 bills and
a $500 bill as security
The woman aroused the suspicion of the
customs officials when, as she descended
the gang plank of the steamer, she passed
her cloak to a woman friend who was wait
ing her on the pier. The officers seized the
coat and found several rolls of lace con-
cealed in the sleeve. Later the woman was
taken back to the steamer and searched
and other rolls of lace were found concealed
In the clothing which she wore.

CATARRH A GERM DISEASE
Breathe Air Medicatcd by Hyomei and
 Kin the Germs,

Now that physicians and scientists universally agree that catarrh IS a germ disease. the reason for tho fail ure nf the old-fashioned stomach dosing ii this trouble is readily seen.
 Prior to the discovery of Hyomei. . tre atment which cures catarrh bv fill ing tho air You breathe with germ killing and healing medication, sta tistics showed that at least ninety seven out of every hundred persons in thls State were suffering from catarrh of some form. Although 1yomei has been known only a few years, the re- markable results following its use arc shown by the much smaller percentage of those who suffer with catarrh today.
 The treatment with Hyomei is very simple and pleasant a small inhaler comes with every outfit and three or four times a day Myomei Is breathed through this, making the air at that time like that found on the mountains where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing balsams.
 Used in this way Hyomei penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose. throat and lungs, absolutely killing all catarrhal germs and effecting com plete and permanent cure Of the ai- sease.
 The complete outfit costs but one dol lar. while extra bottles can be obtain ed for 90 cents. A.r. Fowler has seen such remarkable results from the use Of Hyomei that he sells 1t under an ah- solute guarantee that it costs noth- ing unless Il cures.
