THE MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
New York, May 16.--Again today
only a feeble amount of interest was
displayed in the stock market and &C.
tivity in the market appeared indeed
to be on a constantly diminishing
scale. Up to midday there were quot.
able changes in only two or three Of
the prominent stocks and in the noon
hour Of trading but $4,000 shares of
stock were bought and sold. Transac.
tions for the day as whole were but
$4,000 shares, only little more than
half Of yesterdays dealings, and al
most new low record for a full days
volume Of stock exchange business in
the year thus far Nor as has been
the case heretofore during the week
were there any developments either In
the fluctuations of any stock or group
of stocks themselves or in the char.
acter of the days news such as would
naturally stimulate the market. The
bank of Englands weekly report ex.
hibited a proportion OF reserve to liza.
bilities a little larger than II was a
week ago and stronger showing was
made by the bank OF France BY al.
though the general undertone OF the
foreign markets showed q little hard.
ening brought about rs was declared
by recovering purchase thereby specu.
lation for the fall rise In values was
barely noticeable. Prices here shift
ed uncertainty in the first hour Of
business this morning.
The stock market proper, was II
may be said. affected in some way to.
day by the continual weakness Of the
bond market as shown particularly
of late in the steadily advancing prices
for certain prominent issues such rs
the Lake Shore and the Atchison con.
vertibles and the Chicago Burlington
& Quincy As. Another influence was
that exerted by n further violent and
sensational rise In the price Of wheat
which carried quotations for the vari.
Gus options TO the highest prices yet
touched during the year. There was
nothing particularly provocative in
this rise so far as could be learned ex.
cept that there was another food OF
crop damage stories OF the usual sort
from pretty nearly all sections of the
spring and winter wheat territory and
that these were accompanied by de.
tailed stories regarding the probabil.
ity Of short crops this year in all the
foreign wheat producing countries as
the result of variety OF adverse con.
ditions. All these stories, however,
were of a familiar sort and the days
weather map over the agricultural sec.
ton was not unfavorable. The price
of wheat was fairly weak during the
fore part OF the day, rose seven cents
n bushel In the afternoon for some OF
the options, and closed at a net ad.
vance OF over cents. II is beyond all
possible doubt that II is an active
daring and excited speculation for ad.
vancement in the commodity that Is
now causing the rise In these market
valuations; and yet II Is also indisput.
able that the outlook Of the moment IL

Coffee is a hidden but powerful en- ernv to ones progress in life. Its subtle, narcotic poison weakens heart, interferes with digestion, and has a definite and destructive effect on the nervous system. People who are con- tent to load themselves with impedi- ments to progress, who refuse to sup ply body with food and drink of the kind needed to make up for the daily disintegration of nerve and brain tis- sue, must stand aside in the race for pre-eminence.
