The street was flooded today with unfavorable crop reports from the west and this, to gether with the advance In sterling ex change and further sales of stocks for foreign account, led to a decline in prices. At times the market showed Btrenfrth, especially the anthracite coalers, which advanced In the early trading despite the denials that a deal Is on foot iooklng to an arrangement which will plice the Industry on a profitable basis. Jersey Central at one time sold up to 101, while Heading brought 20Vi. Sugar for a time was dockledly strong and rose to 119V4. but the gahi - was subsequently lost on hea'y realizations, and the stock fell to 117. Chicago Gas was also weak and declined to 73. In the railway list the Northern Pacific Issues were weak. The weakness is due to tho aiv nouncement that the latest reorganize tlon plan as announced from Uerlln irovldes for a heavy assessment on the stock. The market closed weak In tone. Total sales 340,000 shares. Tho range of today's prices for the ac tive stocks of the New YorK slocR mar kct are Klven below. Tho quotations are furnished The Tribune by O. du 11.

There has been a great Improvement In both frelgth and pas senger business with that line. Railroad earnings make a decided ly better showing. The returns of 80 roads for the first week of May com piled by the Financial Chronicle, show gross earnings of $6,236,972, an Increase of $241,262 or 4.02 per cent, compared with the same week last year. Only 19 roads out of the 80 reported de creases, and in one of these the Norfolk and Western, the falling off Is due to a strike.

Imports of iron ore in 1894 amounted to 167,307, against 626,951 tons in 1893, a decrease of 359,644 tons. The Imports in 1894 were the smallest since 1878.

Fifteen years ago there were only horse car roads In the cities. Today, however, there are eleven street rail way systems in the anthracite coal re gions and they have a mileage of 216 miles of track, almost enough tp cross tne state. Tne amount 01 money in vested in the roads reaches $2,167,993 and the amount paid out In wages in one year reached $1,167,833.13. There are 3.416 men employed.

It op erates three miles of road. The Scran ton Traction company has thirty miles of track, and the Lehigh Traotion com pany 'has twenty-eight miles of track and the Schuylkill Traction twenty-two miles.

Nervousness Is only another name for impure blood, for no person is weak and ner vous whose blood is perfectly pure. When the blood is full of the germs of disease, and lacking in the red cor puscles which give it vitality, when it fails to properly nourish the organ and tissues of the body, what can you expect but that tired feeling and ner vousness? Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni versally recognized as blood diseases, for which Mood's Sartaparilla, as the best blood purifier, la everywhere acknowled the greatest remedy. Therefore, as Hood's Sarsaparilla cures all blood diseases, it is the best remedy for that condition of the blood which causes Nervousness. It ii a false idea to think you are curing your nervousness when you are taking a preparation which only quiet your nerves! It is like trying to "drown" your sorrows in the flowing bowl. They are sure to return. We wish to make most imoresslye, then, this truism,: You cannot purify your blood by deadeniko or QuiETrNa your nerves with oplato, narcotio or nerve com pounds. If you take such articlos you are only TRiixmo with your troubles. There is bubs to be a beao tion which will leave you worse than yon were before. Why not then, take the true course, follow the bee-line to tho state of Lealth, purify your blood and cure your Nervousness by taking HOOD'S Sarodparilla OLYPMANT.
