An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

COMMON STOCK DOWN

There has been a small slump in COM
mon stock of the National Steel Com
pany the past few days, yesterday the
quotations being 3S. The cause is said
to be an injunction obtained by GER
tain stockholders of the Federal Steel
Company against payment of the divi-
dend on common stock, which, by rea-
son Of the immense business now being
done at high prices, will probably earn
more money than the preferred stock.
A like injunction, it is rumored, is
threatened in National steel, and hence
the drop in prices. Those on the in
side claim that steel common is a good
buy" at present prices, and that the
stock will take fly upward within a
short time.

In discussing the matter yesterday
stakeholder said:
I'VE have been doing a nice business
and making money, and are perfectly
content to go on as we have. The
trouble with the business, in other lines
as well as ours, is the cutting of prices.
Raw material has gone up in price, and
yet the selling price of glass has re-
manned stationary or mas dropped, when
it should have increased by all the
rules. The reason for this is competi-
ton and the cutting of prices. indie
pendent manufacturers cut under each
other for the sake of getting the bus
mess, and as a result the life is knocked
out of everything, and goods are often
made and shipped at about net cost.
The Central has a good trade. and has
steadily gained ground since operations
were commenced. We felt that we
could continue on to better advantage
than to SELL although the offer was an
attractive one in some respects. 1t has
been rejected, however, and as far as
l know nothing more will happen iii
this line, although some further propo-
sition, as a matter of course, may be
made

A few days ago the Register announc-
ed that the tableware combine had
made an offer to purchase the property
and business of the Central Glass
Works Company, of this city, for one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Yesterday morning at meeting OF
the stockholders of the Company, the
offer was refused. The majority by
which the offer was rejected IS under
stood to have been a small one, one
large stockholder describing the vote
as nearly half and hail. but with
preponderence in favor OF til rejection
of the Offer The terms Of the PROPOSE
ton did not include the cash on hand
and book accounts, but was simply Tor
the property, trade, good will, etc. This
only ends the matter for the present, as
a new proposition may be made, or the
National Company may set about pro-
curing stock from private holders upon
private terms until a majority IS thus
acquired. The capital stock of the Com
pany is about $4,000, and the offer
was thus $4,000 above the par value
as whole, leaving accounts, cash, etc.,
to the total of between $35, 900 and $45,-
600 in the hands of the present owners,
or a grand total of something like $780,
900 for the property, which originally
cost $4,000 when purchased from the
United States Glass Company.
