THE ILMiStoTOft kES&ENGER: ATUJRDlY, OCTOBER 17, 1896; TiiS'itoan' who keeps u with the procession nowadays must be strong enough to stand long, forced marches. This is a busy world we live in, busier than it ever wa3 before, in any other age, and this is the busiest country in the world, The country is full of ambitious, ener getic strong, brainy men, each of whom, is trying to lead his own particular pro cession. Ifhisbodv fails, or his brain fails the man must fall out of the ranks -must lose his posi tion must, perhaps, make the rest of the journey in . an am bulance. The road to suc cess is'full. of Klraor.- glers. full of those whobecause they neg lected their health couid not keep step aaa xo arop irom tne Iront rank to the second." and from the second to the third, until finally they were left behind; alto gether. A man can't succeed in war or in' business, or in any other undertaking, un less he has health to carry him forward and to sustain his efforts. When he begins to lose health and strength and vitality, he be gins to lose his value in the wprlcL He loses the power of accomplishment, and so the power of earning. A man's health is the most precious thing he can possibly own. Every man who is losing health, who is "run-down," who is nervous and weak, who is losing flesh and ' sleep and appetite, should heed the danger signals while yet there is time, an(J should begin immediately to take that most won derful of all invigorating blood tonics, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the medicine of all others that will build tip wasting strength ; that will give flesh ; that will cure nervousness and sleepless ness; and that -will bring back the failing strength of brain and body and nerves.

Mosely claims that Guyer was trying to -set his residence on fire when he shot him. The place where he was claimed to have been shot was saturated with oil and there were a few burnt matches on the ground. No one .was at the scene of the murder from the time1 it occurred until daylight this morning, so it will never be' known who'put the oil there. If Guyer was 'shot where Mosely says he was, he ran fifty .feet before falling, as he was lying in the public road that distance away when found. They haw been on bad- terms for' - some timte. There have also . been -threats made.

In its general course today's market was almost a counterpart of 'yesterday's. January opened at 7.82, rallied to 7.92 and closed at 7.85 to 7.86, with the tone quiet. The movement today was rather less than, had been expected. but this Onlv sufficed to prevent a decline and id not advance prices, except temporarily The general feeling at the moment, is the reverse of bearish; in fact, one of the weak points of the market is that there are rather too many buJls. : - RIORDAN & CO. - - (By Southern Press.) New York, October 16. The Sun's cotton review says: Prices here were unchanged. Liverpool declined l-32d on the spot, with sales of 10,000 bales; futures . there were unchanged to d lower. Future's here today opened 2 to points lower, recovered the loss and advanced 5 points, but . reacted . and closed 1 to 3 points lower for. the day, with sales of 124,000. bales. The trading today, what there was of it, was of an entirely professional character. ' The market was dull and featureless. Liverpool news was disappointing, and prices there opened somewhat easier and became stronger on a small de mand, together with some buying for Liverpool and New Orleans on account, but the buying pressure was exhausted and prices slowly declined. The crop movement for the week was-somewhat duller than had been expected.,' There is little disposition to trade here while the receipts continue on such a large scale. GRAIN. PROVISIONS, ETC. " . . i Chicago, October. . 16. Upward and onward was still the '.motto of tne wheat bulls today. As has been custo mary for some time past, the' market Opened higher: than it closed on the previous day, and thereafter kept on ascending.: Liverpool and other Euro pean markets w-ere responsible for the continued upward movement,, although there wag unbounded enthusiasm in this market. The government .report on foreign: crops giving a decidedly bad account thereof was an auxiliary strengthening factor near the close. More or lbss excitement attended the ' trading ail day, but the transactions were so broad and embraced such di versified interests that it was difficult to determine who was the most impor tant operator., iveports of heavy gold' imports' by banking concerns did much to encourage buying and accumulation of wheati Cash wheat was l2c higher. I - The support and assistance to corn today was mostly derived from the wheat market, though heavy with drawals from store received prober consideration' defining trie tone. 'The trade was" not at all important and fluctuations took place on comparative ly small transactions. Cash corn was firm .and c higher. . It was scarcely within the scope, of possibility for oats to other than ad vance, considering "me su-rounuing t"jllish enthusiasm. Whilst business was riOt particularly large or influen tial, there TT.as, however, a moderately active market -at firm prices. Cash oats wee fiteady, dosing nrm ana c Viie'her. Product secured uroportion of the speculative firmness-hich prevailed on the floor. ; The hogrnarket was "about steadv. but seaift attention was. paid to it the animated wheat market offer iRg greater attraction as a motive.

New York, October 16, Business at are sold' by ly light, the. sales amounting to only 105,156 shares of which 28,700 were Sug ar, 19,iuu St. Paul and 7,100 Manhattan. At the opening- the tendency vas downward. Sugar falling a point to Hi on the reported combination of the outside refineries. A denial of the story led to a recovery to- 107, but near the close the; price dropped back to 107. The early weakness in the gen eral list soon gave way to strength, but the advance failed to stimulate trading. The most favorable development of the day was the engagement of over $3,000, 000 gold in London for shipment to New York. The arrivals were also heavy, aggregating $1,652,500. - A brisk demand prevailed for the metaj and local.bull ion dealers raised their commissions slightly. . Imports are likely, to continue as long as the metal commands a premium here and money rules stiff. The failure of the market to respond to the gold importations is due' to the fact that certain commission houses are discouraging it pending the nation al election The dearness of money also operates against a broad specula tion on the bull side of the account. In consequence the fluctuations . in the Grangers, Southwesterns, Anthracites and Western Union were confined to narrow limits. Manhattan was espe cially firm, rising iy2 to 91 to 91. Bay State . Gas was depressed on the appointment of receivers and broke from 10 to 714. Speculation closed barely steady. Net changes show ad vances of to per cent.

Mr; F. M. Simmons, said in his .speech at Bayboro: "Six; months ago there were 30,000 negroes, in the populist par ty in North Carolina. Two years ago nine-tenths of the- country negroes de clared themselves populists. Within the last sixty days, the republican man agers have soundel the bugle call, and Lthey have gone back to the republican party, though they know- the gold standard i3 impoverishing them and robbing their families.

General Lee's Difficulties. (New York World.) - -The World's Havana advices show that since General Lee took hold of American interests in Cuba, he has at tempted not only to secure proper treatment for American citizens, but also to assist the merchants of Havana in securing a peaceful settlement with Spain. j .General Lee has failed in 'both at tempts, not because of lack of .ability and zeal, but because he has been con stantly checked from Washington. It was understood when he left for Havana that his w-ork was to be large- ly instrumental in terminating the war. But since then the department of state has issued another proclamation in Spain's favor, and the cuban secretary of war has been arrested and imprison ed in New York on the unsupported statement of Pinkerton detectives hired by Spain. Consul General Lee has not yet re signed, but it is hardly to be expected that his manliness and his "well known Americanism vill allow him to hold office much longer, in view of the hu miliating attitude in which the state department places the country. Keed's Estreating Policy. . The Hon. Thomas B. Reed's sarticle two years ago in The Contemporary Review, if brought up to date,' would make him a supporter of Bryan and Sewall. It declared that owing to the suspension- of the free coinage of silver by the western world and the conse quent fall in silver, India and -Argentina were- superseding the United States in -wheat production, and rising into formidable rivalry in' cotton. "The yellow man," said Mr. Reed, "with the 'white metal, was getting the bet ter of the white man" (i. e., the Amer ican farmer) "with ithe yellow- metal." Why did not Mr. Re&d introduce that pithy sentence into liis Old Or chard speech? Why was he com--pelled to fall back on that j ancient saw about the absence of strikes in Africa? If he could perceive two years ago that American farmers were suffering because of their adhesion to "the jrellow metal," in their -competition with the wheat raisers of . In dia who were using the white metal, and if this. is precisely the grievance which the democratic party now -aims to redress, why are not Mr. Reed's wit and sarcasm trained on the same side, of the fight now as then? Does the substantial grievance of two years ago, when Reed thought that the republican party would undertake to redress ft, become only "great prom ises and wild harangued" when demo ; crats set out to correct it?
