part of today, but before the close the
advantage gained earlier had all been
lost and prices as rule were lower than
last night, not only in the specialties.

the opening the bull contingent had to
face a series of declines for Americans in

the declines there were ignored, prices
There was a fair volume of orders to
buy which had come to commission
houses over night as result of the
strength displayed yesterday, and there
was no selling for London account to

was continued with vigor and confidence,

The unsettled tone Of Tobacco and the
large volume of transactions in it gave
the first check to the advance When

conspicuous movement of Rubber pre-

rose at one time SIS per cent. The weak
ness in Sugar and Tobacco became more
pronounced as the day progressed,
extreme decline in both stocks reaching
20 within a small fraction of points.
This proved to be a heavy burden for
the market TO carry and prices fell away
on very dull market until near the
close, when there was animation on

adopted by the government to stop the
publication of news of naval operations

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

CHARITIES IN THE DISTRICT.
Efforts to Establish n Board for
Their Supervision.

favorable report on a bill to provide
for the establishment in the District of
Columbia of board of charities was
made to the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Nc
MILAN from the Committee on the District
of Columbia. II is hoped by the propo-
nents of the bill to solve to a great ex-
tent the charity problem in the community
and to bring about a more efficient distrt-
button Of supplies needed by the poor. The
report of the committee called attention
to the present system. whereby the su-
pervision of charities is in charge of a
single officer. with little power other than
| to make reports to the Commissioners.
The inadequacy of the system Is shown
and the report further says. in part:
'The present bin provides for an ap-
peintment of five citizens of the District
Of Columbia TO serve without pay and to
control the admission and dismission of
persons needing public aid, to the end
that those who deserve such shall
receive It, and those who do not deserve
it. or who are able TO pay for what they
get, shall be excluded from the list of
District charges.
The proposition for board of charities
has been urged upon the District Commit
tee by the Medical Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia. by the Washington
Board of Trade, by the Civic Center. by
the Associated Charities and by other au-
thorities."
