From SDroul & Co.'S market letter: The
selling of sterling loans was due to the high
interest rates which foreign bankers could
OBTAIN. This movement only seems to have
delayed for few days the natural course
OF the exchange market, which Is now reas-
sured with the return Of normal rates for
money. The actual stock market was mar
row and discouraged in tone. Yesterdays
rally exhausted the short interest, and alter
some feeble efforts to create a further one

pressure was q feature, some heavy selling

]. s. Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co.: The
market during the forenoon was extremely
dull. Europe bought about 1000 shares, but
the trading was practically lifeless except
in whisky, which opened lower on the de-
clsion in the Newburger case, which is
against the company on the question of re-
bates. This case will no doubt be taken to q
higher court but If it is decided against the
company 1t will make great difference in
the management OF their affairs.

Mr.. j. P. Blaize, an extensive real estate
dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, narrowly escaped
one OF the severest attacks of pneumonia
while in the northernpart of that state during

chilled that he was unable to get warm, and

drug store and got bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard,
and took number of large doses. He SAYS
the effect was wonderful and in short time
ne was breathing quite easily. He kept ON

to come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize regards
his cure ~ simply wonderful.
