THE SURGEONS KNIFE.
ONCE BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY
CURE FOR PILES AND REC
TAI DISEASES.
A Better Way Now Discovered Which Gu res
Every Form Of Piles Without Pain or
Inconvenience.

Many people suffer the pain, annoyance.
and other serious results from piles, for
years. and after trying the many lotions,
salves, ointments and the many so-called
cures without cure or relief, give up the
hope of final cure rather than submit TO
the intense pain and danger which a sur
gical operation involves.
Happily all this suffering is no longer
necessary since the discovery of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, remedy which is approved
by medical profession as being absolutely
| safe, free from any trace of opiates, mar
| cotic, or mineral poisons, and which may
be depended upon as a sure cure mot only
relief for any form of piles, whether itch
| ing, blind, bleeding, or protruding. Some
of the hundreds of cures recently made
| are a little short of marvellous, as a peru
| sal of the following will demonstrate.

INDUSTRIAL SROCiKS
SHAKE THE MARKET
An Uncertain Tone Pervades
the Days Business.
Depressing Effect of the Yellow
Fever News From Cuba.
Disturbances on the Paris Bourse
Felt in London md New York
Money Easy.

New York, June 21.-The dealings in the
days stock market were in moderate vol
ume, and the tone of the market was un-
certain throughout. Trading for non-pro-
fessional account seemed to be chiefly on
the long side. The days traffic returns
were gratifying. The weather reports
from the corn and spring wheat sections
were encouraging and the money market
was extremely easy. On the other hand,
London sold fairly heavily in this mar
ket, and the London market was reported
depressed on account of the apprehen-
sions of trouble in South Africa and
also by reason of a semi panic on
the Paris Bourse, induced by the political
deadlock in France. An unfavorable ef-
feet followed also the initial appearance
of yellow fever among our troops in Cuba,
although it was altogether unreasonable
to suppose that such contingency should
have been wholly escaped.
In addition to the effect produced by
these aspects of the outside situation
upon which an unfavorable construction
could be placed, the marked downward
course of several of the industrial stocks
had a disturbing effect upon speculative
sentiment notably in the cases of Ameri-
can Tobacco, Continental Tobacco, and
American Steel and Wire. There were vio-
lent declines in the first two named, while
the fluctuations in the latter reflected the
uneasiness on the part of everybody out
of the inner circles of the management in
regard to the action of the directors upon
the dividend next Friday.
| There was nothing new or definite to
account for the severe losses in the to-
| bacco stocks. Rumors of dissensions in
the management were authoritatively de-
MED and little Importance was attached
to the reports of threatened new competi-
| tion. The strong feature of the tobacco
| trade is the fact that these companies
operate under trademarks which have
| been established at great expense. and
which are almost unassailable. At the
same time there was enough heartburning
in connection with the recent consolida-
tions in the tobacco trade to furnish a
motive for the attack. Tennessee Coal and
Iron declined upon the publication OF the
| figures of the May earnings, the increase
in surplus after charges of 125 per cent
being presumably regarded as disappoint-
ing.
There were noteworthy advances In the
active members of Nickel Plate and Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis
shares. The local traction stocks were
| also comparatively steady, though their
early tendency toward improvement was
checked by the subsequent arrangement
of sentiment following the disturbances in
the industrial quarter. The various dis
tilling and distributing shares were but
little affected by the general amalgamation
of these companies announced today.

fifty different points in the city. Com

The market yesterday was not as salts
factory as the opening gave promise of.
Prices during the first half hour of the day
seemed inclined to advance from high
opening and the best level of the week
was attained in nearly the entire list.
Dullness ensued then and cintinued until
the late afternoon, when a selling move
ment set in which lost all the gain OF
Tuesday and the morning hours of yester-
day. At the close the level was about the
same as that of Monday night. 1t is some
what difficult to give a satisfactory eXpla-
nation of the different moods of the mar
ket during the day. There was some pub
lie buying in the first hour and some COW
ering OF short contracts in anticipation of
a spirited rally. The public, however, was
not willing to embark on any extended
campaign and the bull leaders continued
Quiescent, so that the early promise was
not fulfilled in any real upward movement
| of Importance Talk of the rottenness of
| the Continental Tobacco Company and one
| or two other bearish stories aided the
| bears again in the afternoon. The outlook
| is not encouraging as to any immediate de-
velopments of a bullish nature, and the
street is inclined to look for a continuance
of the professional traders market for a
| few days longer. When the bull leaders
| decide to start the advance it Will come,
and not before that, apparently. Prices
are not expected to go much If any lower.
| The experience of the past, two weeks has
been such that there is the utmost conf
dence in the stability of the standard is
| sues. Many of the best of the specalties
have been much buffeted about and are
| now at a much lower level than that OF a
week ago, but this fact tends to give the
| friends OF these Issues the more confidence
that they will soon begin to recover. Mon
ey continues cheap and the opening OF the
new fiscal year with its big dividend and
interest disbursements, is nearing. The
insiders have been buying stocks and the
professional bears have been selling them.
There is a very small amount of floating
stock in the market. All these matters
suggest that the advance is not far dis
| tant.
Each day the bears seek for some new
weak spot in the market. One day 1t is
Steel and Wire. because there is supposed
to be dissension in the directory. The next
1t is Federal Steel, because the bears have
hired some small gentleman to sue this
company. Yesterday it was the tobacco
stocks because there is much talk of un-
pleasant developments in the Continental
Tobacco Company, failure to earn divi-
dends, lack OF harmony IN the management
competition, and half dozen other mat
ters. sugar story is due next All oi

nearly all that is said of Continental To-
bacco is probably true, and large part of
it has been foreshadowed In this column
from time to time. There Is nothing par
ticularly new In the situation, however and
except that the bears wished for a
bear argument at just this time it
seems very certain that nothing of
all this trouble would have been heard
Stated briefly, the story about the COM
pany is that the Rockefeller interests,
which have been identified with the COM
pany, have become dissatisfied with it and
decided to withdraw from its management
and support and start an opposition to-
bacco business. 1t is said that the repre-
sentatives of the company have made many
misstatements regarding its affairs, claim
ing a monopoly when there has been de-
termined opposition all the time, and
claiming profits when the concern is run
ming behind. Continental Tobacco COM
mon stock tumbled several points yester-
day and failed to recover at any time dur
ing the day. American Tobacco also de-
clined sharply in sympathy with its COM
panion stock, getting as low as IS H.
seven points off. and closing at SO rs, six
points off for the day.

The grangers were among the best
stocks on the list yesterday, although the
last half hour of the day they all de-
clined half a point or more, TO close
at about the figures of the close on Mon
day night. This entire group was buoy
ant during the morning hours, St Paul
getting as high as 127, the best price OF
the week, and Burlington and Rock Island
following the same course. The wheat
market was off somewhat, and the bears
on the grangers were disposed to cover
their short contracts. Later when the at
tack was made on Continental Tobacco,
and the price of wheat recovered tride,
! the grangers began to decline. st. Paul
closed at 1885, Rock Island at III Ia, and
Burlington at 131. Atchison preferred
was firm, opening for the day at "a 5-S,

bears to force the grangers to lower
