NEw Yonk, Aug. 7.—The stock market was and the fluctuations were out of all proportion to erratic in its courso throughout today the volume of business, the salos having ag- gregated only 197,074 shares. This ordinar- | ily would be rej a very small total. At the opening the movements were de- cidealy irregular, some shares and others below the final quotations of Sat- urday. After the short interest had been increased some, the bulls took list unywhere from 1§ to 2% per 1 some of the 10w priced stocks, which finally carried down the entire market. Union Pacific, Missour: Pacific and North- ern Pa attack and yielded from 4 to 41 per cent. All of these companies have large toating debts and hence it is o very simple matter to start stories about receiverships, ete. The un- favorablo reports were denfed by officials of hie several companies and final transactions 5% to 2 were at a recovery of from per cent. In the remainder of the list. General Electric dropped bly per cent; Jer- sey Central. 41§ per cent; Sugar, 3¢ per cont; Chicago Gas, 23 per cent; Rock Island, 23¢ por cent, and Lake Shore, West- ern Union and New York Central 2 per cent each. During the afternoon there was a recovery of from 3{ to 2l per cent, the latter in Sugar, but at the close another reaction took place and speculation left off about steady. Prices were about ¢ to 8 per cent lower than on Saturday, however, “The bears would have been still more suc- cessful but for the knowledge that many millions of gold will be received between now and the end of the week and the belief that Cleveland’s message to congress will be such as to inspire confidence in financiul and commercial cireles throughout the country. ‘The Post suys: As the time approaches when our shiploadsiof gold are to arrive in port, the question is raised here and there, whethor the London consignments do not represent borrowed 8pecie quite as much as remittances against regular com- mercial credits. The basis for this query 18 the somewhat unusual transaction by which the Bank of Englana's gold reserve was first and most heavily drawn upon. The answer is that at least a portion of this westbound specie represents shipments against American securities exported to and carried into London ; probably not on a is of actual sale, In effect this may be regarded as a loan, but it by no means fol- lows that its local infiuence will, therefore, be but transitory. “Those who recall the Bank of England's finauciering in the Baring panic of 1880 will remember that the great London institution adopted then u similar measure. Three mil- lions sterling were borrowed m the Bank of Lrance. tield in Loudon, und ultimately repud. The scals on the kegs of gold trans- ported ncross the channel were never broken, but the gold left lying in the bank's vaults as reserve making possible the free use of the institution’s other money. As a re- sult the time loan market was amply sup- plied, the bauk rate reduced, the interior cir- culation satisfied and the promptly and effectually tided over. There was, in fact, in the face of the suspensions, & sharp rise'in London stock market prices even be- foro the gold arrival, a_state of things re- markably annlagous to what our own mar- ket has lately witnessed. 5 The early and convenient shipment of gold borrowed by London was, however, rendered possible by England’s sound monetary sys- tem, under which financial confidence speed- ily revived. A restoration of monetary soundness here will have a sure result, even more favorable. Our wheat and corn are foing abroad already in volumes far beyond recent precedent. 1f congress docs its duty the credits thus cstublished will be more than doubled by European purchases of our sceurities and the debt contracted for relief be readily discharged.

Mosvay, Aug. 7. The week opens out with very respectablo supplics of all kinds of stock. Receipts of cattle fell about 1,500 short of a week ago, but were ample for tho present rather lim- ited requirements of the trade. The condi- tion of eastern markets and money matters generally hardly justified any specvlative activity, but dressed beef men had to hav somo cattle to fill orders, and paid pret close to steady prices for beeves that were good enough to invite competition. Good to choice 1,200 and 1,300-1b. beeves sold at $.05 and $.25, while fair to good 1.050 to 300-1b. steers changed hands atound $3.45 and &3, Grass and half fat etock was very slow sale and generally at shaded prices. Some S84-1b. natives brought £2.00 and a lot of pretty good Wyo- ming grassers that averaged a little under 1,200 1bs. sold for &2.85. 1t was not a very buo; ant market, but ail things considered, seliers had little cause for complaint and’ a fair clearance was effected, Corn stuff was in moderate supply and de- mand and about steady. Choice fat heifers sold up to §2.75 and inferior canners sold down around £1.25 and €150, Very few calves were offered and the market was nom- inally steady. Bulls and stags at from $1.60 to &3 were fully steady. The stocker und feeder trade was active and a trifle stronger. Country buyers took quite a few and regular dealers bought a good many westerns at 82,00 to $2.85. Good to choice fecders are quotable at §.70@3.00; fair to good at £2.50@2.70 and common stuff at §2.00@2.50. Iepresentative sales: No. Av.

The strong close to last week's market en- couraged sbippers to_let go today. Buyers ok advantage of the liberal offerings to hammer prices, and while early sales of light and butchorweight hogs were not over 10¢ to 15c lower than Saturday, closing sales of heavy und mixed hogs were all of 25c to 5e lower than Saturday. Shippers and fresh meat men started it paying from $4.75 to $4.95 for good to choice 191 to 20-lh. hogs, while pickers bid $#.60 and .75 for heavy and mixed graaes, As shippers “and fresh meat men, having filled theiwr orders, dropped out, and bad news came from Chicago the market broke and late trading was largely at $.40 Lo 4. The close was very meaun. The bulis of the trading was from $4.50 to $4.75, as against #4580 to #4.90 Saturday and § one week ago. IRepresentative sales: 8.

Weir Miteheil, recognized au- thority on nervous diseases, in a recent interview with the representative of a Philadelphia paper, had some very in- teresting things to say with regard to what he considers “‘the characteristic malady of the American’nation.” It is possible that as a specialist ho may bo disposed to overstate the se, but his observations and experie he claims, are re-enforced by statistics that show that nervous disorders aro increasing in an alarming ratio every year. ¢ In some of thelarge and busy conters of popula- tion] Dr. Mitehell is Teported as saying, “the tables of mortality show that the proportion of nerve death has multi- plied more than twenty times in the last forty years, and that now the nerve deaths number more than one-fourth of all thedeaths recorded. What is most shocking in these returnsis that this feaful 1oss of life occurs mainly among young people of both sexes. This means that the Americans are fast becoming a short lived people, and 1f they wera shut in on themselves for only a fow years, and without any influx of vitality by immigration, the publication of the census would send a pang of horror and alarm throughout the land.” The climate, Dr. Mitchell thinks, is the most potent cause of the prevalence of nervous diseases in the United States, and the frequent, sudden and extremo changes of temperature pecul some of the most densely popuiated sec tions have much to do with it. What i: certain, he says, is “that people coming largely from the phlegmatic races un- dergoa change of temperature here and become citable, emotional and irritable in a degrece that is unknown in any other part of the world.” Another effect of the American climate, he thinks, is “that it makes the strain of cither mental or physical labor much more severe than it is elsewhere” people being able to work much longor and havder with heads and hands with- out injurious consequences in England and on the continent than in this coun- try. The climate in many scctions of the United States is unquestionably very trying and its effect upon the general physical constitution muy be manifested very frequently in impairment of the nervous system. But it is extremely doubtful, says the Indianapolis News, if it can be regarded as “the most potent cause.” Some of our greatest men, and women too, vemarkablie for their intel- lectual industry and productiveness, have lived to extreme and vigorous age. "he other causes to which Dr. Mitehell vefers are probubly in the largest measure responsible for the unfortunate conditions which he notos—namely, the mad rush and perpetual strain of our business life wwhich ruins the health of our men, and the hot house system of ed- ucation, which wrecks the constitutions of our girls, That it is unhealthy physical and men- tal conditions rather than the climate which produce these results is suggested by the fact cited by Dr. Mitehell that the prevalence of the more serious ner- vous disenses i3 in ulmost exaet propors tion to the density of population. Peoplé who live calm, contented, whol lives in the country are far less 1i them than the inhabitants of where the strain on mind and body is srreater, and where the physical condi- tions offer little opportunity for healing by natural means the evils of artificial and unhealthy modes of existence, @Over the clinate, says the doctor, Whethor it be good or bad, wo have no control, but for the “dollar devil” and the educational devil we are responsible, and with regard to them he utters some strong words of professional warning, We pride ourselves on the early age at which American men reach positions of responsibility, but they do 50 at the cost of the delicate nervous machinery that is esscntial to happiness as well as health. The male Amervican, after being tortured by the exactions of a despotic school system, enters into busi- ness *far o young, and he straightway consumes his Vital caergy till nothing is left but dust and ashes.”” The end of it all is “a country of young invalids, young wrecks, young® drug vietims, young inebriates, young maniacs, young suicides.” The “educational devil” does its work quite as effectually in regard to girls. “The flower of American womanhood,” says Dr. Mitehell, “is wilted by over- culture before it comes into bloom " The long hours, the multiplicity of studies, the ambition of pavents and teachers, who stimulate their pupils to exertions far beyond their strength, and the at- tendant evils of hurricd meals, THE + THIRD + PARTY * ¢ We may live without Polv'h'cs, P“H's' avd ’ao"s, live without taxes, aud live withoul bells : e withook voting, when vaditals cope, ot eivilized man canwol- live withowk Soap.
