unassisted.

the poison which remained In his stom
ach began to take effect and Hoose be

Wnll Street Review.
New York, June 24. The prices of
stocks mode a further average advance
today. The advance however, was not
universal and, some prices are lower,
the anthracite coal group losing some
thing of Its strong advance of yester
day. The volume of the dealings was
smaller,' by over forty thousand shares
than yesterday, but was rather better
distributed, though the Grangers,
Chicago Gas, Bay State Gas and Sugar
absorbed three-fifths of the total deal
ings. The strength of the market is
almost entirely due to confidence In the
general outlook but a number of In
dividual stocks were strong on ac
count of special causes, as Tobacco,
Bay State Gas, Rubber preferred and
Leather preferred. Sugar was some
what erratic, remaining somewhat be
low yesterday's close most of the day
under pressure to realize, but rising to
H above yestcrday'3 close' In the final
transactions. In tho Grangers outside
of Northwest, Rock Island led with a
gain of 1.
The total sales of slocks today were
218,756 shares.
