THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York. May 20. 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

The Trilby craze has struck the rail
roads. The Rock Island and Peoria has

Trafllc is so heavy with the Pitts,

ery one of the company's engines is in

nia system. 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.
Shipments of iron ore from the Lake
Superior mines In 1894 amounted to
7,748,932 gross tons, against 6,060,492
tons In 1893. Imports of iron ore in 1894
amounted to 167,307, against 626,951 tons

a decrease of 114,683 tons.
Hazleton Sentinel: The first electric
road In America was started at Scran
ton. 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. The longest
system is the Wllkes-Barre Traction
company's. It has flrty-one miles In
operation. The Shamokln street rail
way is the shortest In length as well
as receipts. It fell behind $513. 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. It is not Improbable that by
1898 there will be a continuous line from
Shamokln to Carbondale and from Eas
ton to Hazleton and Pottsvllle via Ta
maqua.

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
