New York, Feb. 15.—The Evening Post's
London financial cablegram says: "All
the stock markets here were dominated
by jtolitics, Americans by Cuban affairs,
end other markets by the general outlook.
Americans opened over the parity, gave
way. rallied on reports that Spain had is
sued an apologetic letter, relapsed in the
absence of confirmation of the rejiort and
finally closed rather firm on New York
support. It is difficult to fathom wholly
the reason for the fall in the price of gold.
The reputed reasons for apprehending,
however, that Russion and other continent
al demands will lie less pressing in the fu
ture, the slightly easier tone of the money
market was partly due to his decline in
bar gold.”
New York, Feb* 15.—T0-day's sharp
rally in stocks is to be attributed to cov
ering of short contracts put out in yes
terday's flurry. Buying was said to be
heavy for Washington account, which
was heavy seller yesterday. Yesterday's
losses were more than recovered in most
cases, notwithstanding a smaller volume
of business to-day. There was at least
one period of general reaction during ine
day, hut it was of short duration and d
clines reached some proportions.
There was also profit taking in a few
special stocks which did rot affect the
general list to a noticeable extent. Amer
ican securities continued to tie favorites
on the London exchange where prices were
marked upward with a distinctly confi
dent tone before the opening here and
London continued a buyer here even aft
er prices had advanced to the London par
ity.
Much stress was laid on this as indicat
ing a definite change in the attitude of
the British investing public toward Amer
ican securities. They were persistent sell
ers of Americans during all of last sum
mer and during the subsequent rise which
has been almost continuous since Novem
ber. They are now buying American
stocks at prices many points above where
they sold. This buying is regarded as the
more significant on account of higher
rates of money in London as compared
with New York and the heavy balance of
exchange still known to be outsranding
in favor of this country. In Paris Spanish
4s declined on fears of strained relations
between the United States and Spain and
American securities declined on some of
the continental exchanges, but London
heeded none of these considerations and
continued buying at advancing prices.
Foreign exchange begins to reflect tills
buying, and demand sterling to-day de
clined 84 and cable transfers the same
amount.
Metropolitan Street Railway showed a
continuance of yesterday's weakness after
an early period of strength and dropped 4
points. It subsequently rallied, but closed
the day with a sharp loss. Other local
securities were strong. Minnesota Iron
was conspicuously heavy and Lake Shore
ruled strong. Reports of a circular Is
sued to stockholders asking an option on
the stock with a view to the purchase of
Texas Pacific was itenofited by rumors
that it was connected with a Trunk Line
agreement. In the active list net gains
of between 1 and 2 points for the day were
frequent.
The strength and activity in bonds in
creased as the day passed. Business in
Texas Pacific was large. Individual trans
actions in heavy blocks at an advance of 1
point. Total sales $4,643,000.
The total sales of stocks to-day were

HOW WE TVKE COLD.
Fatigue and Anxiety Have More to
Do With It Than Bad Weather.
From the Washington Post.
“One of my patients could not under
stand why he took such a severe cold,”
said a doctor, who is especially familiar
with throats and lungs.
"He said he had ample warm clothing,
mackintosh, umbrellu and rubbers, and
that his exposure didn’t compare with
many he had undergone, and from which
he suffered no ill.
"'When I questioned him, he remembered
that he was very much fatigued the last
lime. That was the secret of it. It re
quires very little exposure for one to
take cold when he is weary or anxious or
depressed. The condition of the nervous
system has more to do with It than the
condition of the atmosphere.
“The explanation is very simple. The
power to resist incases of this kind de
pends on the temperature of the body.
You can sometimes s(op a bad cold short
by hot drinks, and getting your back
warm. The temperature of the body is
maintained by the nervous system, and
the least trouble with the nerve centers
lowers the temperature and Invites a
cold. It Is an interesting fact that the
bodily temperature is wholly independent
of outside conditions. It is a little more
than 88 degrees at the equator and at the
north pole, if Prof. Andree happens to
be there. This is because the- nervous sys
tem! regulates it. But for its watchful
care, the temperature of the body would
rise with every muscular movement and
would rise or fall with the outside tem
perature. When anything is wrong with
the nervous system, it does not perform its
work as It should, just as a clock cannot
keep good time when anything is wrong
with its Insides. No amount of warm
clothing will entirely compensate for the
disturbance or the nerve centers by work
carried so far as to bring weariness, or
by anxiety, fright, and so on. When a
man is depressed in spirit or fatigue*d. he
should be most careful about exposing
himself to bad weather.
"It Is this nervous origin of colds that
accounts for the shocking suddenness
with which robust men, in apparent good
1 health, arc attacked and carried off by

pneumonia. In nearly every ense. if we
could know the truth, we should find an
unfavorable state of mind. The nervous,
pushing Americans are more often the
victims of pneumonia than any other peo
ple, not because our climate Is so much
worse, but because we are less serene
and less moderate in our work.
"At this season exposure to wind and
dampness causes an acute catarrh in most
cases, or a bronchitis; but It may easily
result in pneumonia. The best preventive
is a cheerful mind, and that can be cul
tivated. It is largely within a man’s own
power to be cheerful or glum. A deter
mination to shed anxiety, to look on the
pleasant side of everything, will some
times save a man’s life, and very often
enable him to escape a bad cold. We may
pay a big price for the doubtful pleasure
of being irritable and anxious.
"It is a remarkable thing that so few
set to work deliberately to be happy.
Men have an idea they are pursuing hap
piness when they toil for riches and re
fuse to be genial for fear they may re
lax their efforts to obtain the means to
buy happiness. They might have many
hppy hours, in spite of a predisposition
to crossness, if they would only moke up
their minds to be cheerful. Determina
tion has much to do with It. Delsarte
maintained that if one puts himself in the
attitude thnt is characteristic of any
emotion, he will really expectence thftt
emotion. At least it is true that if one
puts himself in the mental attitude of
cheerfulness, simply resolves to be cheer
ful, he will overcome almost any degree
of depression. It U the best prophylactic
in the world to be cheerful. Even the
most virulent baclerla cannot w’ork an

“Tho French doctors have discovered
that many diseases may be successfully
treated by music. The idea is as old as
Plato. How right Emerson was when he
said that amazing philosopher had clap
ped copyright on everything in the world
of ideas. In the Charmklea of Plato there
is a remarkable account of the theory of
such a treatment, attributed by Socrates
to Tamolxis, the Thracian god-king.
