NEW YOHK , March 17. As was to bo ex
pected , the reorganisation plan of the Ulcli-
inond & West Point causpd some dlsippolnt-
mcnl In \ \ all street to some Interests and the
rcall/atlons by such parties was taken luU.in-
! ago of In the early trading today to depress
both the stocks and the trust bontls. The con
cessions made In securities \erymatciial
but tie | rest of the market , whllo giving no
ovldouco of special support , icfuscd to follow
the lead of Klcbmond A. West Point and dis
played thtougbout most of the day a do-
cldoaly llriu to strong temper. To this und
the bull manipulation of Sugar contributed
somothln. . but the buying of the granccrx
was the feature of the dcallncs.t , Paul ,
Atchlson and llurltngton worked up a fair
\oIiHiiootuiislncss nt advancing prices and
: u\o character to the whole list. Iluylni ; of
Wcstoru Union and Northern I'aclllo preferred
was also notli-oablo and the maiket displayed
u temper which It has not shoun for
some dat > , though the dealings us a
whole lost llttlp of their professional charac
ter und the \olumo of business remained
small , whllo In most btoks the llncliiutlonK
wto still of the h mil to mouth older , and the
business done strictly on a parity with U.
The advance In siU'ir , howoNcr , was the
special movcmi'nt of the day. and with the
circulation 'if minor ? of the now combination
tliero was considerable buying far the short
account , which Iris bpconio frightened at the
lieralstcnt strength of the stock. Outside of
the Grangers , how over , there was little ani
mation or force to the upwind movement ,
and the changes In quotations were generally
of the smal'cst ' proportions.
The opening of the market was made at
small gains o\cr last nljht's figures as a rule ,
hut no material change appeared until the
sudden diop of 'J per cent In Richmond & West
Point prefoired and the lo-s of 14 per cent In
the common stocks. On the other band Sugar
was especially strong and during the day It-t
prlco was advanced 3 per cent , dragging all
the sluggish ones with It and thu whole
list Improved sllgntly during the fore
noon. The buylne ot the grangers , Wostoin
Union and Northern Pacific prefeiri'd heeomo
noticeable after that and the gcneial list re
sponded moro freely to this Improvement
though lluetuutlons are still kept within the
usual narrow limits. Klchmoml & West Point
pteferred recovoied the early loss , but the
common stock only partially , whllo the bonds
fully recovered their losses. The late deal
ings , howo\or , were marked byBCAoro pres
sure to soil from bear sources , and In thu
last hour prices melted away moro rapidly
than they hud advanced and most of
the gains were noutrall7od. whllo In
many cases fiactions In addition were lost.
Klchmond & West Point went down to still
lower llgurcs and thocoilers sympathl/cd.
The market Dually closed quiet but heavy ,
generally at but slight changes from the
opening prices. Sugar Is up 2 > 4 per cent , Itlch-
mend & West Point U down 1S ! per cent , but
there were no other material changes among
the actlvo share ? .
Government bonds litno been ( lull nnd
itcadv. Statu bonds huvo been entirely neg
lected.

The price , thuiefoiu , waned In Wall btrcet this

A Wonderful Machine.
There is no doubt that man is a fine mechanism , but
like every other machine he wears out by friction. It is
said that he is born again every two or three years. His.
body is virtually re-made from food. To retard this
making over is radically wrong , as a man loses so much
vitality in the delayed process that it takes a long time
to recuperate. The process of making anew is so accel
erated by purging with Brandreth's Pills that a new
man , as it were , may be made in two or three months ,
and the change in the mechanism is such that the worn
out part is replaced by the new without the usual running
clown of the entire machine. You don't have to stop for
repairs. Purge away with Brandreth's Pills the old ,
diseased and worn out body. They arc purely vegetable ,
absolutely harmless , and safe to take at any time. t
Sold in every drug and medicine store , cither plain or
sugar coated.
