THE WORLD GF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, May 1. The transactions
at the Stock Exchange today ORsreBat
ei a."i6.i".33 shares, of which 174,724 was In
the Industrials. It will be seen that
the Industrial! almost completely
monopolized speculative attention. Su
gar was the leading feature and rose
3 per cent, to 11" on transactions of
85,01)0 shares. The buying of the stock
was bused on the advance of Vs per
cent, per pnml In all grades of refined,
except granulated, which was put up
one-sixteenth. Leather followed next
in point of advance, the common rising
to 2'la and preferred to 90 on Intima
tions of a further advance In hides.
Chiungu G;i. Lead and General Electric
were nil slightly higher. Cordage se
curities Improved 1 und 314 per cent, on
the efforts making to form a company
to handle the raw material for all cord
age manufacturing companies. The
rallro.id group wasuttacked early In the
d.iy and the grangers at one time sold
bel.iw yesterday's lowest figures. The
decline, however, was unimportant and
in the last hour, when Sugar rose to
11l"s. the loss was not only recovered,
but the leading Issues sold above last
nlaht'B closing. The great strength of
Sugar completely upset thi calcula
tions of the bears, and at the end of the
day the shorts were anxious buyers.
Speculation closed strong with an ad
vancing U ndency. Compared with Tues
day's Duals, prices for the prominent
st icks show gains of Mi and l'er cent
Sugar gained 2, ltubber I, and pre
ferred Vi per cent, on the day.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
AV. H. Smith, general manager of the
Lackawanna line, Is In such poor health
that he fears he will be compelled to
give up his position, which he has filled

Tonnage for the year to that date ag
gregated 5,040(199.18 tons, an Increase of

The Railroad Gazette In Its monthly
report of accidents which occurred on
roads of the United States shows that In
March there -were 126 accidents, In
which twenty-three persons were killed
and eighty injured. During the month
there were thirty-six collisions and
eighty-one derailments reported.
Shipments of coal from Indiana and
Illinois mines have Increased largely
the last few days. One reason Is that a
number of manufactories which used
oil for fuel have gone back to coal and
another Is that manufacturers and rail
way companies are stocking up, fearing
that there may be a strike next month.
WIlkes-Barre 'Record: Officials of the
Delaware and Hudson company say
that they will not throw their coal on
the market, but will Insist on getting
their allotment of coal, which they
claim Is necessary to supply their trade.
As an evidence that they are not try
ing to overload the market they point
to the fact that their Plymouth col
lieries were Idle part of the week.
A New York dispatch says: A re
markable expedition sailed from this
port Tuesday morning. The expedition
is bound for Peru, and Its purpose,
briefly stated, Is the survey of a rail
road which shall bring within commer
cial utility the enormous deposltB of
anthracite coal which are known to
exist In the western slopes of the Cor
dilleras, In Northern Peru. The expe
dition is organized as a commission,
which has been selected to represent a
syndicate of capitalists who are back
of an enterprise whk'h they believe will
play an Important part In the future
history of the social and industrial de
velopment of South America. The
syndicate thus formed represents a
combined capital of $100,000,000. The
basis of operations of this enteprlse Is
a concession which has been granted
by the Peruvian government and of
which 'the syndicate have secured con
trol. The concession grants the exclu
sive right, for a long term of years, to
work the coal, silver, gold and other
mineral deposits In the department of
Cajamarca. This department, which Is
In Northern Peru, Is a state about equal
In territory to Pennsylvania. Its coal
deposits cover an estimated area of
about 1,000 square miles. All that ts
needed for their development Is the con
struction of a railroad from the Pacific
coast 8or less than 150 miles to the In
terior. Specimens of the coal show It
to be equal to the best Pennsylvania
anthracite. The deposit Is enormous.

Cnrbondule, yesterday.
Young men and their weaknesses,
losses, lmpoteney, tired feeling, heart
troubles positively and quickly cured
by Seranton's greatest specialist, Dr.
Reeves, 412 Spruce street.
The Carbondale Traction company
will come Into thlB borough whether our
enterprising council wants It to ornot;
at least so says report and present In
dications point that way. Tho track of
the company has been extended right
up to the borough limits on the south,
and about nn eighth of a mile nearer
here than the former terminus. J. W.
Altken and a couple of engineers were
here Tuesday looking over the ground,
and it Is said the company will build
a bridge over the creek between here
and Vandling at a point east of the
present bridge, and that a road bed will
be graded through the land of the
Delaware and Hudson, east of South
Main street. In this way the company
could come as far as the Hillside Coal
and Iron company's railroad track, or
almost Into the center of the town.wlth
out a franchise from the council. While
we, with the majority of people in the
borough, would irejolce if tho com
pany would do this and give us the
facilities we deserve and need, yet we
regret that such a step on the Traction
company's part Is necessary. If a fran
chise had been granted with the re
strictions which the company agreed to
when the road was first built, electric
cars would now be running on Main
street, we would have the patronnge
of Vandling and Rlchmondale, and our
principal thoroughfare could be In a
great deal better shape than It Is to
day. But the majority of our council
men stood out flatly and persistently
against the will of nine-tenths of their
constituents, gave the franchise to a
road on paper, diverted the trade of
the two villages south of us to Car
bondale and, held Forest City up to
the gaze of outsiders as a community
opposed to modern progress. Now It
seems the road will come In spite of
them, but Forest City will lose ad
vantages that It might have gained had
our representatives thought less of per
sonal prejudice and more of the will of
the people who elected thorn. Never
theless we are glad the road Is coming.
We want electric lights. Where is
the Forest City Heat, Light and Power
company?
J. F. Gallagher and bride returned

To You
The Most Important
Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition of your blood.
Your health depends upon it, for as
tho quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
Tho blood conveys all the elements
which go to make up the organs, nerves
and tissues of tho body, and curries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle, ncrvo and tissue,
lives upon what tho blood feeds to it.

HE WAHIEALED
Of Rheumatic Paralysis
by Dr. Frank B. Smith,
the Magnetic Physician,
at 312 Wyoming Ave
nue, Scranton, Pa.
Mr. II. B. Cain, who resides near thla
city, was stricken down about thirteen
months ago with rheumatic paralysis.
Ills Bufferings have been so great that
at times It was feared he would lose
his mind. For the past seven months
hla lower limbs have been paralyzed
and he has had to be lifted from his
bed to a chair. 'Notwithstanding the
fact that both limbs were paralyzed the
pain and tenderness In his left leg was
terrible; the slightest touch would
throw him Into a paroxysm of frightful
pain and suffering, which, would con
tinue unabated for hours at e. time.
His helpless condition, together with
the pain he suffered, often caused him
to pray for deaith. Physicians far and
near were called to see him, but none
gave him tw desired relief. Hearing
of the wonderful cures made by Dr.
Smith he applied to him for help, and
we are happy to say secured It. From
the first magnetic treatment he began
to Improve. After the Beventh he was
freed from all pain and all Buffering
came to an end and at the expiration
of four weeks he could walk without
the aid of crutches or cane. This cure,
like many others which Dr. Smith has
mnde, Is unimpeachable evidence In
favor of his strange and mysterious
powers to heal the sick. He will give
a written guarantee to cure all cases
of piles, fissure, fistula In ano, stricture,
verlococele end hydrocele he under
takes. He treats successfully catarrh,
dyspepBlai, heart diseasev liver com
plaint, disease of the kidneys and all
forms of chronic diseases. He cures all
forms of ovarian tumors without the
use of the knife. The doctor will con
tinue to heal the sick free of charge at
the Academy of Muslo every morning
at 10 o'clock. Consultation free et 312
