The Latter Part of Yesterday Showed an Improvement in Business in the Stock Exnhanna

The Latter Part of Yesterday Showed an Improvement in Business in the Stock Exchange.
 New York, Nov 26.-The latter part of the day showed an improvement in business on the stock exchange both in the volume of transactions and the increase in values over that recently prevailing. The standard railroad stocks, however, continued to be a good deal neglected and the movement of prices in them was very narrow. The whole list was Expressed during the early part of the day under the influ- ence Of lower prices for Americans in London and quite active selling here for London account. This was espe- cially marked in St. Paul, and this stock failed to recover at any time to Wednesdays close. Its weakness was due to the October statement of earn ings, which showed an increased in net of less than $3,000.
 So far as this statement bears on the general situation, 1t IS to be taken into account that St. Paurs October earn ings last year were the largest for the year. The later improvement in the market left the railroad list with net gains, but they were of the narrowest margin in many cases. The chief in- terest in the market centered in the specialties, and these all developed con- siderable strength before trading had been long in progress. Manhattan was most conspicuous in the dealings and advanced quite steadily and strongly throughout the day, closing at a net gain of 2%. There was no news to &C., count for the strength of the stock. Su- gar also showed marked recovery from it's recent depression and closed 25s higher than on Wednesday. People's Gas has gained IA, New Jersey Central 1h, and Delaware and Hudson over a point.
 Consolidated Gas jumped up and down over a range of 3 points and clos ed at a net gain of 1%. The days trad ing reflected nothing in the general sit uation, the news of which continued to show improvement. The actual rate for long sterling exchange advanced Is additional to-day. Some of the demand for long sterling is for use in the opera ton which involves the lending of funds abroad. There was also said to be some buying of long sterling for speculation in the belief that rates of exchange will advance by. the time it natures, as the balance of trade may have shifted by that time.
 The bond market was fairly active and prices were firm. The total sales were $1,240,000

will be one negro representative In it
 and he will be Bonner. Gentlemen. I
 thank you for the nomination"
 l Nominations for selectmen were next
 In order. MT. Denny called attention
 to an article which appeared in an af- | ternoon paper yesterday to the effect
 that the democrats had so arranged to hold their city convention that it would
 not be held within ten days of the elec-
 ton, as required by the new charter.
 By request of the convention, the ar l ticle referred to was read by the secre-
 tary It was thought by some of the
 gentlemen present that if the democrats
 had not called their convention in time
 to nominate constables, the republican
 convention might nominate five. James
 Il. Macdonald was requested to advise
 the convention on the matter MT.
 Macdonald said that 1t appeared that
 the democrats had fallen into some mis-
 understanding in regard to the devious
 ways of the new charter. He said: | The charter says that we shall elect | five constables, but the statute says
 we may vote for only three. I think,
 therefore, that it would be we'll to non- mate only three"
 This advice was accepted and the convention proceeded to nominate se- lectmen. Frederick Coates nominated for first selectnlan Charles F. Root of | the Ninth ward. He moved that the secretary be instrutced to cast ballot l TOT MT. Root. It was so voted. Fred erlck h. Averill nominated Nathan
 Hoyt. He said: T appreciate the honor which 1t is desired to confer upon me, but feel that it would not be right Tor me to accept the salary, of select man when so many men are out of
 work. l have always heard that the fellows in the republican party are a jolly lot, but refuse to be jollied," Af- ter the declaration of MT, Hoyt. Fred erick Orr nominated o. A. Rose of the Fourteenth ward .
 Frederick Orr nominated for third selectman Henry Hillman. MT, Hill
 man, however, declined to accept and c. w. Blakeslee nominated Frank Brazos. These three nominations, MT, Root, MT. Rose and Mir. Brazos. were ratified by the convention.
 On motion of MT! Averfll, 1t was voted that committee of five be appointed to fill any vacancies on the ticket in case of withdrawal of any of those nominated. Councilman Clifford of the Sixth ward amended to have the chair man appoint the committee of five. Chairman Blakeslee appointed F. l.. Averill, Frederick Coates, w. F, Clark. T. H. Macdonald and John A. Hall, The convention then adjourned.

wholesome demand for food, and cures disordered stomach and costive bowels.
 For all ailments and weaknesses that have grown out of defects of nutrition such as nervousness, loss of strength, thin and pale blood, loss of weight and lowness of spirits, Paine's celery com- pound is the legitimate and logical cure. It overcomes loss of nervous power and lessened power to digest food by generously feeding the nerves and regulating their action. It ban ishes that continual tired feeling by cleansing the blood of clogging impurt ties, and by stirring the kidneys and other purifying organs to healthful ac- tivity.
 Paine's celery compound has cured many and many cases of dyspepsia. sleeplessness, disordered liver and sto- mach trouble that had puzzled physi- cians and the outcome of which seemed hopeless.
 Many obstinately dyspeptic persons have gotten rid of every distressing symptom by it's invigorating help. Grave general defects of nutrition that ildNG SAOWu tISIllSGlVGS III d WdSLeQ condition, weakness and loss of strength have repeatedly yielded to this remarkable remedy.

Care of Children,s Teeth,

When children are old enough to use a tooth brush, get a soft brush that will not hurt the gums and then begin the early lessons in caring for the teeth. The best dentifrice in the world is Pearlo-dento, and you can use this in baby's mouth freely, as it contains nothing harmful. Children love to clean their teeth with PearIo-dento be- cause it has such a delicious flavor. This makes the education of children in this branch of cleanliness easy, and also insures good teeth, for Pearlo- dento is a remedial agent as well as a tooth paste.
 You will find in using Pearlo-dento that nothing else compares with it. Our circular in our violet boxes tells our story.
