A great many people are wondering If the

which sold a year ago at PAP saw the low
est price for the stock. There are bets
that il will sell at ~, a round 200 points

not infrequently il happens that these bets
are fulfilled simply because they are made
The squirt OF the stock yesterday was so
determined, however that many believe
Il will be continued. The affairs Of the
company. too. seem little nearer solution
than they did a day or two ago. Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. are understood to have ar
ranged to lend the system the necessary
funds for its immediate needs. Whatever
occurs, however. there must be great IN
certainty regarding the intrinsic value Of
the company's stock for some time to come,
and probably as a consequence erratic fiuc-
iuatons that viii make it exceedingly
Improbable for the average trader to fool
with. The stock opened up a point or more
yesterday at a. l-2, and continued TO ad-
vance to 56, more than 10 points from the
low price Of Friday The close was at

The declaration of an S per cent dividend
on the preferred stock of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company was well received by the
friends Of the company. II is the cumu-
lative dividend on the stock for 1897. II is
stated that the policy Of the company will
be to pay of all the preferred stock cumu-
lative dividend rapidly and then put the
common stock on an per cent basis. The
company is said TO be doing more business
this year and making larger profits than
was expected and this is quite as strong a
statement as one need wish.

Chicago Gas recovered a good part Of the
loss Of the past two or three days yester-
day closing al 81. The tumble in this stock
has been due largely TO bear selling but it
is evident that there was some liquidation.
There is very little in ali the rumors that
were put out by the bears during the week.
The company is making money, increasing
its profits and it will be in Chicago doing
business next year and the year after, ae-
cording to all human probabilities.

The general course Of the stock market
during the past week has been downward
and in some cases the declines have been
very heavy. Yesterday Immediately before
the close there was a quick squirt all over
the list which carried securities long
way on a recovery Of all that they had
lost during the preceding days. The rela-
tive importance Of the weakness for hye
days and the strength Of the last hour Of
the sixth day Of the week is an interesting
matter for conjecture and comment, but as
10 the course Of the market this week
there is probably quite as much uncertain
~ as there has been at any time during
the past eventful and most uncertain year.
Third Avenue and Sugar were the weakest
securities on the list at all times until
the close OF the market on Friday. Their
record was unique There has never been
anything quite to equal the break IN Third
Avenue in the history OF the stock market.
But yesterday these same stocks were the
most buoysnt on the list Third Avenue
advanced 10 points and Sugar half that
amount and the closing prices were near
the highest of the day. One theory not
without a good foundation in the circum-
stances Of the situation is that the climax
has been reached in the affairs Of Third
Avenue, and that from this time the for
tunes of the company and Of the stock
viii begin TO improve. As to Sugar, the
street has been discounting the passing Of
the dividend Cd the common stock. and as
nothing worse than this can be expected

GOOD REASON FOR 1T.
The Success and Popularity of the
New Catarrh Cure

The remarkable success and popularity
of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. is largely because it not only
cures catarrh. but because catarrh suffer
ers who use these tablets know what they
are taking into their systems; no secret
is made OF what they contain. They are
composed of Hydrastin. blood root. qua
iacol, and red gum. are pleasant to the
taste, and being dissolved in the mouth
they take immediate effect upon the mu-
cous lining of the throat. nasal passages,
and the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart'E Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished In old chronic cases are
little short of remarkable. and the adyan-
tage OF knowing Just what you are taking
INTO your system is of paramount impor-
lance when IL is remembered that the
cocaine or morphine habit has been fire.
quently contracted as the result of using
secret catarrh remedies as so many of
them are well known to contain these in
jurions drugs.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with the
approval and cordial support of physicians
because their antiseptic character renders
them perfectly safe for the general public
to use. and their composition makes them
commOn-sense cure for all forms of
catarrhal trouble

you are taking into the stomach, as the
proprietors, while making all sorts of
claims as to what their medicines will do.
are very careful to keep it a close secret
as to what they really contain.
This is one reason why Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets have been so widely recommended,
because they are not only pleasant and
convenient to take, but the patient also
knows he Is not putting into his stomach
anything of an injurious character.
These tablets are sold by druggists
everywhere in the United States and Can
ada at 30 cents for complete treatment,
and probably there is no better remedy
ever devised for the permanent cure of
catarrh, whether located in the head
throat, bronchial tubes, or in the stomach
