StOckS-BuSines in securities was
for the most part intensely dull to-day
and prices sagged from hamilton. The
most notable movement in the rail-
way list was that in Northern Pacific

large realizing sales induced by the
payment of the dividend Of 1 per cent.
which was taken off the price to-day.
Quotations from London and from the
German bourSes, where this stock lis g.
speculative favorite, showed that the
realizing movement was in force there
also and there were sales of the stock
In this market for foreign demand.
The statement of earnings for the sec
ond week in December also encouraged
the sellers with it's increase of less
than $4,000 over the corresponding
week in fast year as compared with
increases Of over 100000 in recent
/, weeks. The stocks rallied a fraction
before the close. The failure of the
directors of the New York Central to
increase the dividend above the guar
terly rate Of l per cent. caused dis
appointment to holders of that stock.
The statement for the last quarer was
also considered disappointing, the
gross earnings showing only slight
increase over last year and a falling
off of over $500 900 below those for the
corresponding period Of 1895. London
was a moderate seller in this market
of all the international stocks. The
coalero showed a tendency 70 react to-
day on traders realizing and New Jer-
sey Central was at one time 11a below
last nights close, but it rallied points
and it's final price was only fractionally
below yesterdays close. Sugar and
Manhattan moved in rather erratic
manner. but were weak. Metropolitan
Street Railway, on the other hand,
was strong on talk of a compromise
agreement with its principal competi-
tor. The declaration Of a semi-annual
dividend of 21a per cent. On the first
preferred stock Of st. Joe & Grand
Island lifted it's price over 2 per cent.
and aroused a demand for other secur-
tiles of that company. The tone of the
money market continued unsettled to-
day. Loans were reported during the
day as high as 4 per cent, but just at
the close Of the market there were
some offered down to 1 per cent. and
an actual transaction was reported at
that figure. This sudden weakening
of call money had no influence on the
price of stocks, which were weak and
declining at the close. Sterling eX-
change also responded to the stiffness
in the market with a decline Of Il in
the actual rate for demand bills and of
4 in the price Of cables on London and
of sixty day bills. There also was a
significant fall in the price of govern

was exceedingly narrow throughout

Mrs. Forbes says there is no doubt as
to Forbes being he murderer of the
San Francisco women; that he often

by Theodore Durrant; that he often
referred to the murders in such a man

Ing upon the great friendliness that he
believed exists between England and
the United States, and saying: IF the
two countries will only put their backs
together they can rule the destinies of
the world"
Ambassador Hay responded with a
bright speech. He sketched the origin
Of the day, which began, he said, lin
that pathetic thank offering Of our
~forefathers when they were keeping
alight the spark of freedom which was
destined to kindle into such a beacon
blaze enlightening and admopishing
the world. Some Of our peculiar insti.
~tutions,' continued Mr.. Hay, thank
Heaven we have lost. The worst pass
ed away in the tempest of the war it
caused, but this, the most unquestion-
ably peculiar Of all, we can trust to
abide with us forever and forever. This
is one of the few things we can do that
offends nobody, threatens no one, and
completes with no one. Seventy mil
lions of voices praising God together
would not justify the addition of one
ironclad to n navy on earth"
Mr.. Hay her paid an eloquent tri-
butte to "the unknown, nameless artist
who, in the days of early New England,
first brought to perfection the pumpkin
pie" He endorsed Benjamin Frank
Inns suggestion that the turkey should
be the national emblem instead of the
eagle, "who, with aristocratic profile,
loud voice and predatory disposition,
hardly commends itself a. the emblem
of modest, Industrious and conscien-
tious democracy, while the turkey, like
a true altruist, exists only for the good
Of others and perishes by thousands
yearly for the public welfare"
In concluding his speech Mr.. Hay
enumerated the causes for thankful
ness, and said:
I'VE are thankful that we speak En-
glish, or if our friends on this side Of
the ocean think that Is boastlng, that
we talk United States, which answers
equally as well for telling the truth"
Lord Strathcona and Mountroyal, re-
spending to "Our Next Door Neigh
bors,' said that Canada, while loyal
to the queen and to Great Britain, had
the fullest feeling of friendship for the
United States, and he was atisied that
if either country should get into diff
culties the other would help It's nelgh=
Dor.

ottawa, Ont, Nov. ga reply has
been prepared by the Dominion gov=
eminent and forwarded to Washington
in respect to the negotiations which are
now going on between both countries,
The government win not say what the
reply is until it reaches Mr.. Foster at
Washington, but it is understood that
It Is a refusal to stop pelagic sealing for
a year, as the United States requested,
The whole question depended upon this,
and therefore it would appear that the
negotiations are to fail in their object.
However, there is a report that the
Canadian government has proposed an
alternative proposition for the consid-
Grafton Of the United States which
could be laid before congress at Its next
sitting and passed in time to deal with
pelagic sealing and the questions Of
dispute next season.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THH RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.

Do Not be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Americans,
are certainly increasing and while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
Of American business life, it is more often the
result Of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable
but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble,
is Organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs are
controlled by branches Of the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastic.
In another way, also the heart is affected by
that form of poor digestion, which causes gas
and fermentation from half digested food
there is a feeling of oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure Of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
fering with their action hence arises palpi-
tation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes
it thin and watery, which i%rritates and
weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart troubles
is to improve the digestion and to insure the
prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regulad use
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and eGec-
tive digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements, in a pleasant,
convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular, persistent
use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time
will cure any form of stomach trouble, except
cancer Of stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets sold by
druggists at so cents.
Little book on stomach troubles mailed
free. Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
