STocKs-In stocks the bear clique who
assisted in squeezing money, sold prices
down 1a2t per cent. The corner in Erie
was rather tame at the opening, and u
large amount Of stock was borrowed at
tat per cent, but in the afternoon the cor.
ner gained strength, the borrowing rate
raised quickly to per cent, and before
the close had reached q per cent In
one instance Erie sold at IS cash and SOL
regular almost at the same moment, but
this was not lair criterion Of the market.
The two extremes Of the stock were cash
5Ot and IS, and regular 49, and $50.
Transactions very heavy and fluctuations
violent. It's reported the German com.
bination sold out their stock Of $4,000
shares yesterday, to Daniel Drew, who is
now twisting the remaining shorts. A
great deal Of stock Is en- route from Lon.
don, and the programme is said to be to
bring over all possible, and then corner
the London market, which of course will
have influence hero. The whole market
closed unsettled and irregular.

Bottles Full OF Beauty...Ladies il
you would have beauty by the bottle.full
all you have to do Is to purchase HAGAN's
MAGNOLIA BALM. That peerless beauti-
fer OF the complexion not only heightens
natural charms, but renders even the
plainest countenance exceedingly attrac-
tive. It recalls to the pallid cheek the
rosy tinge Of health, removes pimples,
blotcheS, roughness, sallowness and other
blemishes, and imparts To the skin most
delicate fairness and softness. Itsmooths
the burrows caused by time or care, and
gives face, neck and arms the plump and
engaging appearance Of youthful beauty.
All this is accomplished by the most nat.
ural means, viz: by gently and naturally
stimulating the circulation in the capil-
larry blood vessels. Besides being the
most effectual aid to beauty known to
modern science.
PimpleS, Eruptions, Rough Skin..-
The system being put under the influence
ofDr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for few weeks, the akin becomes smooth,
clear, soft and yelvety, and being lllumin.
ated with the glow Of perfect health from
within, true beauty stands forth in all It's
glory. Nothing ever presented 10 the
public as beautifier of the complexion
ever gave such satisfaction for this pur.
pose as the Discovery. The effects OF all
medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium Of the blood are
necessarily somewhat slow, no matter
how good the remedy employed. While
one to three bottles clear the skin OF PIN
pies, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots,
comedones or "grubs," dozen may pos.
sibly be required TO cure some cases
where tho system Is rotten with scrofulous
or vlrulent blood polsons, The cure of
all these diseases, however, from the com.
mon pimple to the worst scrofula, is with
the use OF this most potent agent, only
matter Of time. Sold by all druggists.
