The buying iu Missouri Pacific was not by Cammack, but was traced to young Gould's order, and amounted to something like 8,000 shares. The gossipabout an alli- ance of St. Louis and San Francisco with the Gould lLines, the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash, was not seriously cousidered. The buying of Atchison was traced to the Har-* ring-Kidder partics, aud the reorganizers muke some very bullish predictions for the stock. The attack of the boars ou local stocks is on the ground of Alght eavnings. When the market oponed this morning London was again & buyer or Missours Paciio, St. Puul and Lake Shore.

This is prevented by putting soapstone powder betwecn the two thicknesses of leather, which ncts as a sort of lubricator. A shoe which has squeaked can be cured by the dealer or a cobbler simply ripping the soles apart, putting in Soupstone’ ana sewing or pegging the leather together again Some people like to have th shoos squenk; it serves much the purpose of an_announcement of their presence and takes the place of the runner who, in India, precedes the greay man’s carriage, shouting: *‘Make way for the shaib!” The listener is not one of those persons, He prefoers mute shoes, But he can stand anything ex- cept u pair of shoes one which squeuks and the otber does not. To go down @ room in the face of a considera- ble company with o paie of shoes mak- ing unlike and alternating noises, thus: “Squeak, clump! Squeak, clump!” is ona of the greatest trials in the world ———— Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills. An importaut discovery. They act on the liver, stomach and bowels through the nerves. A principle.
