The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, as they ar,
pleasant to the taste, and healLhfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination oil
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health.
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of a laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 11.-Although the
volume of business in stocks to-day
was only moderate, the speculative
temper was cheerful and prices, with
momentary exceptions, worked toward
high plane. Outside buying, however,
was chiefly conspicuous by its alb
sence.
The tone in financial circles is be-
coming unqualifedly bullish, although
the market fluctuations were practical
ly controlled by a few of the more inn
portant professional dealers who have
recently been playing for turn, with
the scalpers following in their wake.
An encouraging development was the
news of a mandatory order from the
court foirbidding the operations of
the reduced rates put in effect by the
Southern transportation companies.
London figured both as buyer and
seller The traders at the close were
engaged in discussing the probable
showing of the Associated banks to-
morrow.
The theory is that the resources of
the banks have been swelled by about
$14,000.000 and shipments of funds to
the interior for the week were about
$4,000 900 In addition the sub-Treas-
ury transferred about S1,500,000. The
financial tension at New Orleans was
increased to-day by another bank sus-
pension. The gains in prices extended
from to 3 per cent in the general
list, with Lackawanna on light deal
ings rising seven per cent. The clos
ing was strong at about the best prices
of the day
Railroad bonds were quiet but gen
orally higher on transactions of $685.
600. Governments were lower for the
new AS, with other issues steady. The
transactions were $4,000.
