Poor digestion poisOns the kidneys

NEW YORK, January 2S.-Specuation
was extremely dull again to-day AT the
Stock Exchange, and in a majority or
instances the fluctuations were trifiing.
The only wide changes were in few
of the specialtIes, certain of which ad-
vanced. while others declined. The trad
ing however. was so small that no
special significance was attached to any
of tho movements. The transactions ag-
gregated only S,45s shares. of which H.
200 were American Sugar Refining. The
fact that quotations from London came
fractionally higher at the opening did
not warrant the market in making any
response, owing TO the continued lack OF
orders for outside account. Prices
yielded 1-SGl-2. but losses were soon re-
covered, only to be followed by another
decline. which left the leading stocks
fractionally below last nights finals.
The declaration of the long-expected
2 per cent. dividend by the ST. Paul and
Omaha road led to no activity In that
stock, and il closed with net gain OF
only Is per cent. Northern Pacific pre-
ferred certificates were noticeaby
strong. and advanced from 80 ga to 30. a

the story. Long Island fell 2, and re-
