GOVERNOR'S AXE FALLS. HE SHUTS OUT THE ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL AND LOPS $9,000 FROM THE $30,000 GIVEN THE READING AND HOMEOPATHIC. (Special to The Times. Harrlsburg, July 18.

Lebanon. July 18. The condition of Dr. A. H.

Light conducted a drug store in the old State House building, at Fifth and Penn streets, Reading, in the early 60s. THE MARKET'S. TENDENCY' TO BETTERMENT EXTENDS TO ALL MINOR ISSUES LATEST STOCK, FLOUR, FEED, GRAIN. AND PRODUCE QUOTATIONS. Philadelphia, July IS.

As the event that stimulated prices yesterday did not transpire until a few minutes before the close, it was to be expected that it would find further reflection this morning, and it did. Stocks that are vitally affected by the settlement of the Northern Pacific dilticultics rose at the opening anywhere from 1 to 2'i points on top of the wide advances of yesterday. This afforded substantial gains to the purchasers at the low level and the opportunity was not ignored. The profit taking soon blocked the way and before 2 o'clock caused smart declines from the morning's highest, some of the more notable stocks sinking below yesterday's close. Eventually Union Pacific sprang into prominence with a three point elevation, and this again turned the market upward.

There was a quiet absorption of Union Traction and each day appears to see a reduction in the floating stock. The tendency to betterment extended to all the minor issues. Diamond Steel and Marsden both scored advances, and in the specialties Philadelphia Company stood out prominently, with an improvement of 5s, while United Gas Improvement responded a point on purchases of 30 shares. The abatement of pressure against Electric Storage was shown by the fact that a bid two points above yesterday's sale at 73 failed to bring out any stock. DIVIDENDS DECLARED.
