After Weak Opening Stocks Improved
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
New York, Dec. 22.-After a weak
opening and a fractional decline in
prices stocks improved on covering OF
short contracts The advance outside
of Sugar, which moved up about a
point. was insignificant. The declara-
Shore, Michigan Central and New
York Central failed to exert any in
fiuence on the market.
The reduction of the dividend on
Canada Southern however, started a
selling movement which gathered force
as the day advanced. The bank fail
ures at the west also had disturbing
effect and timid holders cut down their
lines. The suspension of the Bank of
Minnesota, the Oldest bank in st. Paul,
announced shortly after ] O'Clock, was
followed by the failure of the State
Bank of st. Paul and the Union Stock
Yards bank of South st. Paul.
The fact that the last two institutions
had been compelled to close up was not
generally known on the street until
after o'clock. The bearish feeling on
the market was aggravated by rumors
of a reduction in the dividend of the
Delaware and Hudson during the COM
ing year and to ru1nors that the Long
island Co will pass payments on it's
stock.
In the past the Delaware and Hudson
has distributed per cent. per annum,
and the Long Island per cent. Man
hattan's weakness was attributed to
liquidations and the decline in Sugar
to the aggressiveness of the Arbuckles.
Delaware and Hudson scored the
heaviest loss and dropped 55s per cent,
to 1176s; Long Island fell 5, to As; New
Jersey Central IA to 99ss Sugar IA,
to 109ta; Canada Southern 212, to 45lA;
Burlington and Quincy 1%, to 701a;
Chicago Gas IA, to 7214 st. Paul 13s, to
729s: Rock Island rs, to 651a Consoli-
dated Gas IL, to 145; Louisville and
Nashville rs, to 47A; Manhattan "a, to
1854 Reading l, to %; Tennessee Coal
III, to 2411a; Rubber 19s, to 24,and West
ern Union IL, to S214.
Speculation closed weak in tone. Net
changes show declines of A@17s per
cent, outside of Delaware and Hudson,
Jersey Central and Long Island, which
lost S1s@55s. Tobacco made an excep-
tiona1 gain of / per cent. Considering
the shrinkage in prices, the dealings
were comparatively small.
Bonds were quiet and steady. Sales
We're $765, 900.
Following are the closing prices re-
ported by Prince & Whitley, bankers
and brokers, DC Broadway, New York,
and Is Center street. New Haven:

THE GREAT HUXLEY.


Considered the Hest Start In Life.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity Of digestive acids Qac-
tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy In
all cases of indigestion is to take, after
each meal, one or two of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all the ele"
ments that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of Stuart's Dyspep-
sla Tablets will cure every form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach,
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these re-
suit only from wholesome food we'll di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets at so cents, full-sia-
ed package.
Send for free book on stomach trou-
bles to Stuart, Co, Marshall, Mich.
