Appearance of Stagnation for
the Greater Part of Time on
Stock Exchange.
TENDENCY is DOWNWARD
RECOVERY IN LONDON PRICE OF
COPPER.

New York. Sept 25.-Todays small to-
tai of business accomplished at the stock
exchange was done mostly in a few short
periods of comparative activity. For The
great part Of the session, the market
offered an appearance of stagnatiOn great
er than at any time this year. this alone
sufficing to account for the general ten
dency of prices to sag. The wide de
clines recorded in some usually inactive
stocks on light transactions made a bad
impression, owing to the suggestion Of
paralysis of any demand to necessitate
such radical price concessions to effect
sales. New York, New Haven a Hart
ford was a conspicuous example, with
drop 10 142 following reports that the
new stock was to be offered to stock
holders at 125 without provision of an
underwriting syndicate. The. company 5
last offering OF stock was at 80. The
fall in prices in the general list was mod
crate and showed evidences Of occasional
restraint.
The most important news development
to account for 1t was the report OF killing
frOSts in the west, extending TO the north
ern portions of the corn belt, the lateness
of the crop in maturing this year giving
occasion for some real concern. This
was sOOthed to some extent when the
moderate effect of the news on corn it,
self was perceived. one cause for the
halt in speculative activity was the de-
sire to await the outcome of conferences
in progress TO decide the pattern for new
steel rails, as it is felt that the decision
will be followed by clearer light on the
dimensions of the steel rail requirement
and its bearing on the future activity OF
the steel trade as whole.

Der was a feature of the days news and
this helped the copper industrials to re-
sist the depression.
Money on call continued easy, but the
SHIPMENT of currency to the crop regions

continue for soma time. The coverings OF
shorts put out in the morning before the

and narrow nature OF the market and

proportions.

Financial and Commercial

for higher prices was a higher market
at Liverpool. The strength of corn on
the local exchange also aided the bulls
somewhat. During the early part of the
day prices showed but little change, but
as the session advanced several large To-
cal holders sold freely and brought about
material declines in all deliveries.
News from the Canadian northwest was
meager, but a number of advices were
received from Minnesota and the Dako-
tas claiming that threshing returns are
showing large yields in fields which were
supposed to have been seriously damaged
by frost. The market closed weak and
near the lowest point of the day. De-
cember closed at 99ss d99$
Corn opened strong because of frosts
last night in various sections of the corn
belt. The market held strong until the
close. December closed at $3.50.
Oats were weak, because OF heavy liqui-
datiOn, the weakness of wheat and a
belief that the northwestern crop will be
larger than has been estimated. The
close was weak and at the lowest point.
December closed at 5112.
The provision market was firm early
in the day because of the advance in
corn and higher prices for live hogs.
Later the market eased off on realizing.
Final quotations on January pork were
5 cents higher at 1875; lard was un-
changed at SS.75. and ribs were quoted
at $7.57iA.

Sensible and Scientific Way + OCure this
Disagrccablc Disease.

Nearly everyone suffers at n time
or another with catarrh.
The natural way to cure this dis
agreeable disease is by applying heal
ing indications direct to the diseased
spot.
In no other way can this be done rs
naturally as by the use of HyOmei,
breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that m with every outfit.
Put several drops of Hyomei in the
inhaler and then for a few minutes,
, four Or five times a day, let the air
YOU breathe come through it. In that
way all the air that enters the nasal
passages, the throat or the lungs. is
filled with Hyomei's healing medical
tion, reaching the most remote air
cells of the respiratory organs, Destroy
ing all catarrhal germs and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous men,
brane.
A few days use, of Hyomei wMl show
how quickly it relieves all catarrhal
conditions, and you will not have to
use it long before you find it has eff
fected a complete and lasting cure.
So strong is r. R. Bellamy's faith in
the power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal
troubles that with every dollar outfit
he gives a guarantee to refund the
money unless the remedy gives salts
faction. He takes all the responsible
ty and you cannot afford to suffer
longer with catarrh when an offer like
this is made to you.
Should. extra bottles of Hyomei be
needed they can be obtained o soc,
making this one of the most economical
as we'll as the most reliable remedies
for catarrh that is known.

ONE CAUSE OF CAR SHORTAGE
How it is Done in the Northwest
Gar Buying.'

Testimony in the Hartman merger
hearing at Seattle discloses the North
western equivalent for the Eastern
system of distributing cars to those
concerns which knew where t o distri"
butte their stock to the best advantage.
Charles E. Patton, president OF a lurn-
Der company, was teStifyiEg to cases
Of discrimination that had come under
his notice. Asked by Commissioner
Lane to account for the discrimination,
he replied that he supposed somebody
was buying cars" Further examina-
ton brought out that the common sal
utation amoug lumbermen was What
is the price Of cars today?" the price
running from 81 to SIS a car paid to
railroad employees. Mr.. Patton sad
that when he issued orders that no
more cars should be bought by his
company they did not get the cars.
Thus the Northwestern, in its direct
blunt way, has reduced the Eastern cir
cumlOcution to dollars and cents. In
stead of interesting railroad men III
seeing that cars were supplied to ON
panies in which they had received
stock the Northwest cuts out all sub
terfuge and buys what it wants. The
principle is, of course, exactly the
same bit the efete east insi-'s upon
covering the tranaction with the vc-
neer Of stock transfers where the Oluf
west comes down to business at the
jump. In eact case the man or COM
pany who refuses - be he'll Up has 10
suffer, the stockholders lose in order
that their employees may profit, and the
public pays the freight through the
power of monopoly thus esIablished.

For observation-disclosures Vote DOVE
the Proposition.

The board Of aldermen kept open
house last night. Everybody who had
anything to say for Or against the pro-
posed amendments to the charter had
been invited to be present and there
was a general acceptance of the invita-
ton.
The only one of the amendments dis
posed of was that providing for a po-
lice justice. Several speeches were
made in favor of and several against
the innovation. The argument of those
who favored it was that the city needs
a business man rather than a young
lawyer for mayor. The contention On
the other side was that the creation OF
the Office of police justice would In
volve an expenditure that the city's
financial condition would not warrant.
By a vote of three to two the amend
ment was lost.-Greensboro Telegram.

PRAYER CHAIN LETTERS.
Writers OF Chain Letters Should be
Dealt With.

The Landmark mentioned some time
ago that a number of Statesville peO-
pie had received endless prayer chain
letters" the letters containing q prayer
alleged to have been written by Bishop
Lawrence. Each person who receives
a letter is requested to send a copy TO
nine other persons, and the threat is
made that il the chain is broken Sc
we're punishment Of some sort will be
visited on the person who breaks it.
1t is proper to say at the outset that
Bishop Lawrence never wrote such a
letter. These letters are sent out Dy
| cranks or superstitious people, or by
neonle who have nothing better TO do.
They have attracted attention in Ashe-
Vile and other towns because they
alarmed some ervou people who re-
ceived them And here is where the
| trouble comes in. Most people who re-
ceive them, we take it, u them
in the fire and pay no more attention
to them: that, at least, is what they
should do. But there are nervOu peo-
pie, especially ladies, who are alarm
ed and annoyed by them. The Land
mark is advised that an aged lady IN
DIN township, this county, was alarm
ed a few days ago by receiving one OF
these letters. She had not heard OF
them and thought by the threat cop
tanned in the letter hat some one was
trying to do her an injury. No mat
ter who they are, or what the purpose
the people who send out the letters
| should be dealt with and they will be
if they can be reached under the postal
laws. The business is a humbug which
would be harmless if it were not for
the distress the letters cause nervous
people. But in this respect they are
doing harm and those who send them
out had better have d are lest they
get into Notwithstanding and

ITO BEGIN WORK WITHOUT DELAY
Hotel Committee to Canvass Cit
Next Week.
Decided al Meeting Held Yesterday 60
Start at Once on Campaign for Sub
scrfptiOns-ETcction of the Hotel Il
a Matter Of such Importance That IL
Should Appeal to all Patriotic Citi-
ZenS.

The committee which was appointed
as a result Of the enthusiastic meeting
held On Wednesday afternoon in this
city, called TO discuss and take active
measures for the erection Of a moder.
tourist hotel in Wilmington held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and they
mapped out plans for their campaign
for Subscriptions which will b. under
taken within a few days.
The members of the committee We're
all agreed on the ~advisability Of LOSING
no time before starting the canvass
among the citizens and it was decided
that an active and cam
pAlgn viii b Wagad next week. be-
ginning early in the week. From the
tamount Of financial aid that is offered
them by the business men Of Whining
ton, by the latter par of next week
II can probably be definitely deter
mined as to whether the hotel will he
built.
The need of such a hotel as has been
planned in this city is clearly recog-
nlzed by all those familiar with the
conditions hat exist here. The pres
ent hotels are not criticized in the
slightest and the service they render Is
entirely satisfactory, but their accom-
mOdatiOns are limited and their faclIl-
tie 0 so modern as to attract north
ern visitors and tourists to this section
a class of travel which the new hotel
would most asSuredly appeal TO. The
great need of the hotel was remarked
on by many of he city's most prOmI-
nent business men at the meeting on
Wednesday. There is no question but
that sooner or later an enterprise such
as is now contemplated will be built,
but it is for the citizens TO realize that
therei is DO time like the present for do
ing things, and that the sooner done,
me sooner will benefit and good re
suits come to the city.
Ihre is no reason why Wilmington
should not have the best hotel in the
state. This section is endowed with
natural advantages that always most
.favOrably impress visitors and there
is no doubt the hundreds Of people
would be attracted here annually il
the facilities were such as they were
willing and able to pay for.
The members of the committee who
will make the campaign for subscrip-
tons are all we'll known business men
They have accepted appointment SIM
ply through their desire to forward in
whatever way is open, the progress and
development of the city. Not n cent
in remuneration will be paid a single
one of them for service which at the
best is most u~nattractive. They should
be given a courteous and cordial re-
ception by the business men of this
community, each of whom should make
his best effort to give whatever aid is
possible.
