The Firmness of Foreign Exchange

Union and Brooklyn Rapid Transit

NEW YORK. Oct 13.-The dealings in
the stock market today were again in
light volume and the price movements, in
the main. were limited and devoid Of
special significance Aside from the devel-
opments in South Africa, the further relax
alton in money and the continued firmness
OF the foreign exchange market. little de-
veloped with the course of the day to at
tract attention. After opening material
perceptibly easier The rapid advance
made yesterday and today led TO stock
exchange rumors that expectations of gold
were probable in the immediate future,
but the most trustworthy authorities on
the foreign exchange situation assert that
such an issue was most improbable, bear
ing a most pronounced relaxation in the
local money market. II is generally under
stood that the decided advance in sterling
exchange in the past few days, has been
largely owing TO a number OF special cir
cumstances, including the payments in con-
nection with the adjustment of the Balti
more and Ohio Southwestern reorganiza-
tion. London's influence upon the local
market was extremely small. On balance
foreign houses bought few thousand
ket showed no further reflection of the
South African war As already noted, the
movements in the general market were ir-
regular and Insignificant. There was rather
unusual activity in Western Union, which
was attended by quite a smart decline in
that stock, although the loss was later on
partially recovered. No special news or
gossip attended the decline there, although
the transactions in the stock were larger
than they have been in a number OF
months. The selling OF the stock was
doubtless instigated by the rather poor
showing OF the company made for its fis-
cal year in its recently published state-
ment- Brooklyn Rapid Transit was again
the most active feature or the market and
was sharply depressed Il the early deal
ings. The possibility of legislation COM
pelling the company to place its wires un-
der ground was again the main influence
IN the selling OF the stock.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS

It has long been thought not only by
some physicians, but by people in general

cause Of years of needless suffering, be-
cause OF the natural dread of surgical
operations

similar remedies on the market which af
ford some relief in cases of piles, but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is the only preparation
so far introduced that can be reliably de-
pended upon to cure 10 stay cured, every
form OF itching, bleeding, or protruding
piles.
Mrs NJ c. Hinkley. of sol Mississippi
Street Indianapolis, was told by her ply
sician that nothing but a surgical opera
ton. costing between seven and eight hun
dred dollars could cure her as she had
suffered for is years. yet even in such a
case as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure accom-
plished complete cure. She says: Il knew
an operation would be death to me and
tried the Pyramid with very little hope
and 1t is not to be wondered at that l am
so enthusiastic in its praise.
Major Dean. of Columbus Ohio, says he
suffered for 40 years from piles and 20
years from itching piles. and in his case
two packages of the Pyramid cured him.
