ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

6CTeet
NEW YORK, Sept. 2e-Today's stock
market still further demonstrates the
changed character Of the speculation and
the entire subsistence of the recent RAM
pant bull spirit. The bears were more ag-
gressive than at any time heretofore. and
met with scarcely any opposition. They
seemed somewhat apprehensive over their
own success and bought quite steadily.
The result was to make net changes quite
irregular, but the largest figures were on
the side Of the losses. The bears succeeded
in dislodging quite number Of stop-loss
orders Of weekly margineG speculative hold
ings, and there seemed to be more long
selling than has been tn, case heretofore.
The declines extended to from one to four
points and with very few exceptions af-
fected every stock on the list. The bears
were apparently satisfied to realize on q
short turn and not leave accounts open
over night. 1t was notable fact, how
ever, that whatever animation was shown
was during the decline and recovery, and
was slow and hating, and on much dimin-
ished volume Of trading. The centers of
bear attacks were stocks Of such uncertain
value as Sugar, Chicago Gas. and the To-
cal gas stocks. which have lately proved
so easily subject to manipulation. The evil
dence of reactionary tone Of the spec
ulation was shown in the ready credence
given to all rumors Of an unfavorable
character.
In the same way as the Improvement IN
business was early discounted in Wall
street. future possible contingencies are
now largely taken account of The SEN
sation of the late pool buying on large
scale calls attention to the large amount
Of stocks which are speculatively held:
and to what would ensue from an unto
ward Incident that would precipitate
sharp decline and bring q flood Of selling
on a falling market. Such occurrences as
those of today do much to eliminate these
eements of weakness and are creating a
short interest which would be a stimulant
upon any occurrence Of bull movement.

A New DlssevsrY by the Shakers,

For moro than q hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied tho
cultivation Of medicinal plants and sought
to extraek from them their healing
essences, Their labor has not been spent
In vain. They have made discovery
that will prove blessing to mankind.
1t consists OF o cordial that causes i'm
mediate relief In cases of indigestion.
The Importance of this discovery will DO
apparent when We realize that nearly
nine-tenths OF our suffering are caused by
dyspepsia or indigestion. Nearly every
person you meet has this digestive trouble
In some of Its varied forms-sick head
ache, distress after eating. pain and full.
ness In the chest after eating, palpitation
OF the heart, etc, are but symptoms, of
indigestion. TO relieve these sutrerings
has been the study OF the Shakers, and
they have succeeded. The reason tho
Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an i'm.
mediate and salutary effect is that ii
causes the food eaten to be digested, for 1t
Is undlgested food that causes the distress,
The Cordial causes the food to be digested
before there is time for 1t to ferment and
iur on the stomach, When the food Is
8 dlgested 1t gives strength and vigor to
the feeble body, makes one feel bright and
cheerful, and makes one gain in flush.
Il The Digestive Cordial is SO prompt In
Its action that the very first dose will have
q perceptibly favorable result. 1t gives
Immediate relief,
Every druggist has been sent supply
of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books,
and copy may be had for the asking.
II tells all about the Cordial as we'll as
Laxol, the new castor oil.

i've Cordial and see what it will do for
you.
