The I'ixt says : It was only by Mtonu er-
foils that thu Block market was kept steady
at HID opening today and the temper of tlio
room In the early hour was unmistakably
bearish , This was due to causes not fai to
seek. Stocks have been steadily advancing of
late and some nro at nearly top prices. To
maintain this upnaid movement demands
favorable conditions , and the o were lacking.
In the ( Irst place , the piobablllty of u largo
gold shipment on Saturday seemed morn cer
tain , and especially on account of the changed
conditions of foreign exchange. Then the be-
llnChas become mote asstticd that nothing
further ulll bo done during thn present ses

cause of depression on account of thu threat

The run of cattle was a llitlu above the

narki't seemed to weaken toward the close ,
Jut taken as a whole It was a fairly satisfac
tory market from the sellers' standpoint , and
ihcro was little of any consequence unsold at
lln1 close.
The butchers'stock market vvas unevenly
stronger some of the buyers called It 5c to
lOc higher than Tuesday. Oireilngs weie not

lie cows and heifers hair about all changed

There was mote life and snap to Ihestocker
ind feedet trade , and some little firming up of

with the advance In beef cattle values , and
laitly on account of greatly i educed supplies.

At no time in the history of the country
has pneumonia been so prevalent as during
the winter months of the last two jo.ns. In
times past a common cold was not considered
at nil serious , but of late jears the great ten

made people apprehensive The tumble Is
that colds aio not tilwa.vi propeili ticated
