Good Demand for Securities in Yesterdays

Good Demand for Securities in Yesterdays
 Stock Market.
 New York, Nov. 6.-The stock market broadened considerably to-day and there was good demand for securities throughout the session at the stock ex- change The opening was active and strong, the reports current yesterday about a war with Spain over Cuban matters and rumors of the election of Bryan electors in Indiana and Ken lucky failing to materialize. These ru- mors demoralized the market at the close yesterday.
 In addition to the denial of the sen- sational stories referred to, there came encouraging advices from Europe as to the standing of foreign investors in re- gard to American securities; an in- creased disposition on the part of cap italists to employ their funds, the open- ing of mills and factories throughout the country, and resumption of divi- dends by the Chicago Gas company and statements that the sound money men will control the United States sen ate.
 Business was on an enormous scale. The improvement in the usually active list ranged from F to 1 per cent. Gen. eral Electric rose 5, to 33A Burlington and Quincy 21a. to STA; Chicago Gas 21s, to 7S1a; St. Paul 2A, to 79; Rock Island 2%, to 721a; Manhattan 2A, to 9S; Louisville and Nashville 21s, to 51B; Reading 11s to BIS; Tennessee Coal 2%, to 31; Leather preferred 2, to 663s; Rubber ?, to "A; Rubber preferred 21s, to 77z; Northwest 11a, to 105, and West ern Union E. to S67s.
 Sugar was feverish It opened at 1161a@121, dropped to 1lSA and rallied to 119K. The manipulation of the stock excited comment, and was not clearly understood Tn the late trading the sharp rise in wheat encouraged further buying of stocks and near the close speculation was strong with prices at or near the top of the day
 In the inactive issues Edison General Electric rose 4%, to 99A; Illinois Steel 71s, to 54; New York and New Haven &, to 1S0. and Tobacco preferred 3, to 105. Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven.

 On October domestic and Canadian available wheat stocks were nearly B., 000,000 bushels in excess of the total a year ago. while November 1, 1896, they were 1400,000 bushels less than one year ago. Northwestern wheat experts insist that the spring wheat crop is S0,- 000,000 bushels short, and that 25,000,0O0 bushels were rendered unfit for food after having been ground. They call the current crop 4oO,OoO,00O bushels, which, with the wheat carried over July 1 last, leaves only 22,0OO,oOO bushels for export in the remaining eight months of the cereal year.

Where Science ends and Com mon Sense should rule. Persons of sedentary habits are liable to indigestion or dyspepsia. These, in turn, will bring on nervous dis orders, kidney complaints, con- stipation, etc. This is especially the case with merchants, students and scientists. They will give you the exact dimensions of Jupiter, the distance from Saturn to the sun, to a foot, but they cannot or will not tell themselves what will cure this train of disorders.
 For ailments resulting from sedentary habits-inactivity of the liver, habitual constipation, etc.-the entire medical fraternity of Europe and America almost unanimously recommend the gen uine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt and and the Waters of Carlsbad.

wHr LADIES 11nE COFFEE.
Though Many Admit it Hurts Them

Many ladies have so great Hiking for coffee for breakfast that the meal seems flat and unsavory without it; but the muddy complexion, which Is almost sure accompaniment, is a great trial and the question is seriously discussed many and many times over in one's mind whether it is possible to give over the coffee and gradually get back the lost complexion, or keep on with the coffee and get on with the bad skin and make the best of it.
 The disordered stomach and liver sometimes bring on more serious troubles. To quit the use of coffee Is the only true relief, 1t contains the same poisonous alkaloids as to- bacco, strychnine and morphine, all though less in volume. One can use the delicious hot fooddrink, Fostum Cereal, at meals and never miss the coffee. 1t browns the deep seal-broWn of mocha and takes on the rich golden brown of old Java when cream is ada ed. T. is made by the Postum Cereal Go. Linn. of Battle Creek, Michigan, purely and wholly of the nourishing grains intended by the creator for mans subsistence. The pungent taste so well liked in strong coffee IS retain ed in IUstum.
 Nature quickly recovers when cof- fee Is left off and the natural health coffee is used in it's place. Healthful sleep Is again enjoyed and nerves, stomach, liver, bowels and heart cease their complaining when the disturbing cause is withdrawn.
 These are great big live facts worthy the attention of anyone who cares for the exquisite fun of being perfectly well.
