passage the second mate was attacked with Hong
Kong fever. Captain Ray supplied him with a
Holman Liver Pad. which cured him entirely,
without a single dose of medicine. Captain Kny
also gave each of the cre^v one of Dr. Holman's
Pads, which protected each of them from the fever
and all other sickness while detained in the ports of
Java and Singapore four months, it being very
Sickly during that time. All other ships lying in
those ports during the above period, not supplied
with Holman's Pads, had sickness on board and lost
more or less of their crews. Having used them
successfully for several years, I can safely recom-
mend them to all going to sickly ports. H.S. RAY.

Saved from a Horrible Death.
Up to May last I had spent at least five hundred
dollars for treatment by many of the best medical
men. without any benefit. 1 suffered excruciating-
ly, and all my best friends advised me that the icy
band of deatn was fast approaching. 1 (.-aught at
S. S. S. like a drowning mau at a straw. After
taking two bottles, 1'could feel a change for the
better. The sores began to discharge freely and
the Rheumatism to abate. When 1 had taken six
bottles, every sore had healed and my skin began
to assume a natural appearance. 1 persisted until
I hau taken twelve bottles, large size, and
THERE IS NOT A SYMPTOM OF THE DIS-
EASE REMAINING,
and 1 feel as well as I ever did. I have gained
twentjT-one pounds in flesh, and my friends wonder
at my improved condition. 1 have recommended
it to many, and in every instance with complete
Success. I believe that S. S. S. hau saved me from
It horrible death. C. H. SMILEY.

I am sure that Soft's Specific saved my life. I
was terribly poisoned with Malaria, and was given
lip to die. Swift's Specific relieved me promptly
fend entirely. I think it is the greatest remedy of
the age. C. G SPENCER,

Having, after long and careful study and great
expense, succeeded m perfecting the above re-

the most powerful, safe and expeditious compress

Wholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much in case of lire, and working with scarcely any
friction, its movements are smooth and noiseless:
and as tne whole power is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers, cos gearing or
other devices common to other forms of com-
presses. its work is performed at less cost of fuel
per bale thau any press in use.

ews Office, September 12.—There was a fair
•usine^s reported by the commission trade to-day,
but in wholesale groceries tbe movement
was only moderate. Prices generally rule
steady in all lines, and there are but
few changes to note. Western cream meal
and grits are marked down 15c per barrel. Dry
salt bellies and canvased shoulders are also re-
duced v4@^c. Onions are in moderate supply but
easier, at $3 0d per barrel, while beans are quoted
t£c per pound higher. Grain is quiet, with but lit-
tle more than a retail trade doing. Bacon and lard
are quiet and unchanged. Prices of other articles
cn the general list are unchanged.
At St. Louis wheat and corn receipts were large
and shipments fair. It is estimated that the next
report of the visible supply of grain will show an
37 fjflq increase of nearly 1.250,000 bushels. Both corn and
13j50 wheat opened lower at Chicago and St. Louis, but
more bad weather rumors caused a rapid advance,
and the closing figures for corn were the highest of

by a reported fall of 20 degrees ta the tempewrtwra
at the h est. and the advance in oorn was pointed
at as an indication that the crop, or a part of it»

there was more disposition to think well of stocks

The Denver and Rio Grande, it is seini-officially
stated, will make a new consolidated mortgage
bond of $30.00ftmi). which will be used to absorb
the $20.000.00abpr outstanding, while the remain*
ing s4.000.000 will be made available in meeting the
immediate necessities of tne company. i* is hint-
ed that a large amount of stock will be created to
go with the new bonds as a bonus, but this feature
of the scheme Is officially kept quiet, and may be
only a blind to depress the present stock. That
there is another effort of that kind is shown by the
circulation of rumors that the stockholders intend
throwing the road into the hands of a receiver.
Perhaps this would bo the hest place for it till
some one besides Wall street pirates can be found
to manage it. The stock, which was bulldozed up

and 4.s5 for actual transactions, net. With ail
the talk about foreign buying of our securities titi*
week, very few bills have made their appearance,
from which it is inferred the reported buying has
been largely imaginary. There are perhaps
$10,080,000 called bonds held abroad, remittances
against which may tend to keep the exchangee
steady for a while.
Governments have seldom experienced a mora
sluggish week than the present. Brokers' occupa-
tion ia these securities is almost utterly gone, and
they are turniug their attention to something with
more life. Like British consols, they are now
mostly locked up in the strong boxes of banks and
wealthy individuals, and only an earthquake wfll
reawaken speculation or lively trading in tiiem.
Holders of desirable wools refuse all concessions,
and manufacturers will only purchase as they have
actual need, as they do not regard the recent sale

New York. September 12.—Governments steady.
In railway bonds the principal activity was in
West Shore and Bulfalo firsts. Southwestern issues
and Central Pacific ttrsts. The transactions in the
stock market to-day were the smallest in amount
since August 4. aud rhe business or' the day in gen-
eral was unimportant. On opening: the market
was steady to stromr. and iu the first sales there

parativelv slight. In the final sales there
was a fractional rally, and. as compared with
last night closing, prices were per cent,
higher, except for Lake Shore. Northern Pacific
preferred. oregon Transcontinental. Texas and Pa-
cific and Union Pacific, which were percent,
lower. Rumors current yesterday in regard to al-
leged cutting of rates by trunk lines, were not re-
peated to-day. and comparative strength of the
market, notwithstanding the dullness, was due to a
denial that any cutting of rates was going on. The
quarterly report of the Western Union shows a sur-
plus, after paying iurerest. sinking fund and divi-
dends. of $3.7s2,096. which is an increase
of §123.520. instead of Sli'j.000, as erroneously
stated yesterdav. The report was more favorable
than anticipated, in view or the strike. Report of
Erie and leased lines for May was given out after
business hours, and showed an increase of
in gross earnings, and an increase of $3.'.405 in op
erating expenses, aud a decrease of $21,304 in net
earnings, as compared with 1ss2. While the state-
ment for April show* d a decrease of $122,208 iu
