All the time we had been under

so delicately balanced there was
not the least feeling of motion.

with another advance in stocks. United
States Steel common led the rise at the
new high record pf 1885,, Other indus

The most encouraging feature was the

Sales in the first honrin which exten.

per cent.
In large part the further demand for
stocks came from out Of town sources.
Commission houses received great many
buying orders over the week end
Industrials and equipments registered
similar setbacks on the realizing for
profits. Rails were exempt from this
tendency however, materially increasing
initial gains under lead of paeifes, st.
Paul and high-priced coalers. Motors,
oils and gas shares also held firmly. An
other selling movement in the second
hour was directed mainly against metals.
Although steel yielded to 1871, irregular
rallies ensued at noon. Bonds were firm.

How Il Hits Colleges.

One New England college has closed
in early May because one call or snoth-
err has taken away 90 per cent OF its
young men. Most of our colleges are,
in undergraduate parlance, shot to
pieces" though still going through the
motions of academic activities, The coast
patrol and the training camps, and to
a less degree agricultural work and
such industrial service as work in ship
Yards, have taken the BOYS by hun
dreds and thousands. And there are
those already in France. or on the way
there. in the splendid service OF the am
bulance corps and the medical units. All
that was to be expected. II is to the
eternal credit of our college boys that
they have been early and eager TO re.
spond to the call. They will be in the
thick OF it till the peace treaty IS signed,
and every college will have shining
names 70 add TO its honor roll.
But all this brings the colleges iace
TO face with a serious situation. There
comes 4 sudden reduction in revenue
and numerous economies and readiust
ments will be necessary. Nobody can
be sure about the entering classes next

Ever count the dead hairs in your

warning OF future badness and proof
that the dangerous dandruff germ is busy
on your scalp. 1t was famous Paris
physician who first discovered that dan
druff and falling hair are caused by
microbe. Then came the discovery of
the value of Partisan Sage liquid form
in destroying the dandruff germ and
promptly preventing the further loss OF
hair. The effect of only three days use
of Partisan Sage is simply marvellous,
and the American people have now awak
ened to the fact that they can be quickly

Partisan Sage is sold by the Red

FRENCH CUTTING RATIoNs.
Present Provisions Not Enough TO Tide

Paris, May 29.-Correspondent OF the
Associated Press.--The food question in
France is regarded as very serious. All
the measures thus far taken have failed
to assure positively the required supply
of bread to carry the country over TO the
next wheat crop, and the government has
just decided in a special cabinet meet
ing to require important sacrifices.
No more pastry and no more crackers
or biscuits will be made, except for the
army, after date still to be fixed. No
more highly refined -four will be toler-
ated. Every miller will be obliged to
leave a greater percentage of bran in
his output, and eventually corn meal,
rye or barley may be mixed with the
wheat -four 70 exc out the supply.
The experiences of the past year in
France have shown the impessibility of
influencing economic conditions by de-
cree. The maximum selling price of
wheat was fixed at price equivalent to
lS5 a bushel, in order to avoid an in
crease in the cost OF bread. The result
was a great decrease in wheat acreage;
the farmers preferred to SOW oats and
barley that were not subject to any linn
itations and brought better prices than
wheat
The retail price Of butter on the Paris
market was fixed at the equivalent Of
IS cents pound. Immediately the re-
eeipts fell from forty two tons TO less
than nine tons day. The butter went
to the British front where it readily
brought SO cents a pound.
The new minister OF subsistence, Mat
