HEAVY GOLD OFFERINGS.
Large Purchases for American Ac-
count In London Market.

New York, Jan. 5.-An unexpectedly
large amount of gold was offered in the
open London market today, and of the sum
e30oO0O was purchased for American ac-
count and the remainder for shipment TO
Germany. II was understood that the gold
taken for shipment to this country was
bought at a slight concession from the IS
shilling rate which had prevailed so long in
London, which circumstance made the en-
gagement profitable.
There was no material change, as mat
ter of fact, in the local foreign exchange
rates, and further importations of gold VIII
depend altogether upon the amount in the
London market. London speculators ap-
parently did not regard the matter with in
difference, for the London stock market
was weak and foreign houses sold heavily
here.
During the time the selling for foreign
account was in progress in this market all
the internationally listed stocks were rath-
er heavy declines of about half point
being common in these cases With its ces-
sation in the early afternoon, however, a
general recovery set in in the railway list,
which had all felt directly or indirectly
the effect of the London selling. and for the
first time during the day the standard IS
sues divided attention with the indusuiais
and the specialties.
In the morning hours active speculative
interest had been practically monopolized
by the last named classes Of stocks. Peo-
pies Gas, American Tobacco, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and Brooklyn Union Gas all
advanced sharply, as did Manhattan Rail
way and General Electric. Various rumors
and assertions of present prosperity and
prospective developments attended the
movements in these cases, but definite news
was hard to obtain.
Among the wer-priced issues and the
specialties there were sharp advances on
large transactions in Ontario and Western
and the Colorado Southern issues. The
first named company has heretofore relied
largely for its coal tonnage on the output
of the individual operators, but announce
ment is made that it has acquired the fine
coal properties of the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel Company near Scranton. With
the improving prospects for the anthracite
coal industry the acquisition will doubtless
be of benefit TO the Ontario and Western.
In view also of the personnel of the own
ership of the Lackawanua Iron and Steel
nificance as respects rumored changes in
the management of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad. The issue
of the Hooking Valley plan of reorganiza-
tion caused a sharp decline in the issues
of that company. The Federal Steel shares
reflected further heavy realizing sales.
The general market closed strong ant
active.

these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years earlier
in life. If little of tie prudeTy of mod
ern society were banished, SO that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves, there would be less suffering
among women in middle life.
Good health is the best endowment that
a human being can have. Good general
health among women is largely dependent
upon good local health in a wo1nanly way.
Through ignorance and neglect it has be-
come such ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease of the delicate and important
feminine organism, that many women have
come to look upon these troubles as an
unavoidable inheritance. This is mis-
take. All troubles of this nature may be
cured in the privacy of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examinations"
and "1ocal treatment" insisted upon by
the average physician. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescri ption gives health, elastic
strength and vitality to the sensitive organs
concerned. 1t al1ays Inflammation, heals
liberation and frees from pain. 1t tones
the nerves and builds up the nerve centers.
It makes a woman healthy and strong, and
thus prepares her for healthy wifehood,
capable motherhood and safe transition
