STOCKS SHOW A STRONG TONE.
The Net Advances, However, Are Not
So Large as ON Thursday.

SO Large as ON Tbursday.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE dealings In the
stock market today were again in i'm
mense volume, though In respect of net
advances the market suffered in compari-
son with yesterdays market. Still. the
trading showed notably strong tone. and
commission houses reported large in
crease in outside interest. In the bond
market there was extraordinary activity,
and those houses which make a specially
of dealing in high grade investment Sc
curities refer to the demand as unprece-
dented. Indeed. the amount of uninvested
capital appears to be in such volume that
many issues of securities are actually dis
posed of before they are formally offered
for subscription on standing orders. This
is the actually significant feature of the
present financial situation.
Today's market showed the effects of
very heavy realizing sales, but it also
showed that the outside demand for
stocks has Immensely increased. London
houses again bought heavily. though their
purchases were not as extensive as on
yesterday. AS was the case then, the
dealings in the railway list again over

STOCKS, tnouSn trHnSactlonS were neaVy,
notably Federal Steel and Sugar Refining.
The latter loaned at "a premium. and this
circumstance was more effective than
further reports OF unsettled trade condi-
tions.
In the railway list the transactions were
heaviest in the granger shares. the Pa
cific stocks, Louisville and Nashville and
Atchison preferred.
There was very little news bearing on
the general market or particular stocks.
The elections was the sole explanation of
the speculative and investment demand
for securities.
Late in the afternoon recessions were
common throughout the list. the selling
being ostensibly based upon apprehensions
that the bank statement tomorrow would
show heavy reduction in surplus re-
serve.
The money market was easy throughout
the day. although call loans made today
carry over until Monday morning. The
market closed dun. and with an uncertain
tone.

Chicago, Nov. u.-Wheat closed strong
today at 3-4c over Thursdays closing, the
principal buying being by shorts. The start
was weak, with Liverpool off about Id.
The decline led to liberal export de-
mand, with sales reported OF nearly mil
lion bushels. Duluth reported 500, 900
bushels sold there with the demand
greater than the supply.
The heavy sellers of yesterday and the
day before were the best buyers today.
The range of December was l is, with the
close at the top, Ciearances were $4,000

comparatively light Duluth and Kan

The market was broad and business
brisk all day on the Stock Exchange yes

parent in the buying, being more of a

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. z. PAXTON, youngstown,

Gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mns. PrSKHAM:-It IS with
pleasure that add my testimony TO

others to avail themselves Of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth OF my little girl,
three years ago, nv health was very
poor. had leucorrhGa badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men

Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach 1t wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. II Mrs. Pax

In the race by impCrfection Of feature 1t
is in reality expression more than features

features and yet il the expression be sin

that face " hat men call beauty; rather is
1t found in the face which expresses puri-
ty, love and unSeltshness, even though
regularity and perfection OF contour be not

this coveted gilt is a proper controlling of
the facial muscles. 1t is SO natural to per
nit the muscles governing the different
features OF the face to assist us In express

necessity. They do not, in reality, assist
their emphasis, hut, on the contrary, often
make US appear grOtesque and ridiculous
1t Is not IN aid, iut a detriment, to allow
