NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec 15.-Continued pres
sure by professional dealers against the
market resulted in further disturbance
of prices and a fair amount of iquida-
ton. The volume of business was larger
than that of Monday. But the dealings
were not well distributed, The market
moved with some irregularity, but the
main tendency of prices was towards a
lower level and the declines scored were
material in the specialties. The outside
interest was rejected in sales of the rail-
way shares, resulting as rule in frac-
tional losses and the feature of the day
was drive at the Gould stock, for which
no explanation had been received up to
the close of business. Or news bearing up
on the general situation there was not q
particle and the dominating influence,
upon values was the continued agitation
at Washington on the Cuban situation.
The closing was weak at general frac-
tional losses in the industrials. Railway
bond prices continued to sag, under re-
alizing sales. The dealings aggregated
ST, 431 900. Governments were quiet
and Irregular, with an easier tendency.
The sales were $4,000 Silver certificates
were strong1 and slightly higher on pur-
chases of S., COO.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims to be Benefactor to Weak
ened Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but somtimes man so overfiows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this prin-
cipal that a resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich, desires to send free to mankind a
prescription which viii cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them
Of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and
restores the organs to natural size and
viger. AS it costs nothing to try the
experiment it would seem that any man,
suffering with the nervous troubles that
usually attack men who never stopped to
realize what might be the final result,
ought to be deeply interested in remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they
continue to live and existence of untold
misery. As the remedy in question was
the result OF many years research as to
what combination would be peculiarly
effective in restoring to men the strength
they need, it would seem that all men
suffering with any form of nervous weak
ness ought to write for such a remedy
at once. A request to III. G. Odds, Box
1922, Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription out
of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving ii
a trial, will be answered promptly and
without evidence as to where informa-
ton came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Olds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine Cut this out and send to Mr..
Olds so that he may know how you came
