NEW YORK. March Little that was
Of significance or Of general interest trans
pired in todsys dealings in the stock mar
ket. The trading was mostly for profes-
sional account. and the greater part Of the
resulting price changes reflected little
else than the backing and filling OF the
floor traders In the railway list the deal
ings were In exceedingly small volume,
and the price movements were in the main
limited TO fractions. The only extensive
movements, and even these we're more than
usually curtailed, were IN the industrial
quarter and In some OF the speciaities. The
conspicuous features were Sugar Refining
and Third Avenue together with the To-
bacco stocks. Peoples Gas. and the more
distinctly Chicago organized steel indus
trials The last-named shares had a ten
dency toward recovery. presumably be
cause the short interest in them became
suspicious az the amount OF besrish news
and gossip in circulation concerning those
stocks.
The comparatively large dealings in
Third Avenue and in Sugar Refining were
apparently again conducted wholly on
technical speculative theories. that Is to
say that new ventures in the stocks in
question were based rather upon the sup
posed identity Of the parties dealing in
them than upon any consideration OF their
intrinsic merits as disclosed IN recent de-
velopments.
The days figures Of the dealings between
the local banks and the Sub-Treasury show
a loss on balance to the former OF up
ward Of 81 800 600. The call loan money
market in consequence continued firm and
was fairly active. lenders quite generally
marking up the rate on standing loans. The
passage by the Senate yesterday OF the
Currency bill. and the probable operations
OF the new law. were generally discussed
and served 10 mitigate the uneasiness
which would otherwise have been felt with
regard to the monetary situation. The
London money market also grew frmer.
following upon the announcement OF the
new English budget. and the financial pro
posals in connection with the African war,
and sterling exchange advanced materially
in both Berlin and Paris. There was how
ever. a slight further decline in sterling
IN the local market, partly as a result OF
a continued purchase OF stocks IN this mar
ket for foreign account
A feature Of the dealings on the stock
exchange which was commonly. and prob
ably with reason. referred to the refunding
features Of the new currency law was the
usual activity in the market for bonds,
where relatively there was more animation
than appeared in the dealings in stocks.
All OF the higher grade issues were partic-
ularly strong in adavnce Of the investment
demand. which is expected 10 show Itself
with the conversion Of the outstanding 8,
4 and 5 per cent Governments into the new
per cents II would certainly appear
that this transaction would involve SUI

CAPITAL TRACTION BUoYANT.
FeatUre of Local stock Market Its
Advance to OS.

Capital Traction shares continued to ad-
vance rapidly in the local stock market
yesterday. Business was heavy in the
stock, and buyers were apparently eager
until the price reached a point OF more
above Tuesdays quotations. The total
number Of shares transferred was go. The
price opened at - IL. a good advance on
Tuesdays last sale, and went quickly TO

business being at IS. The closing sale was

Business was brisk in Mergenthaler Lin
otype yesterday also. More taan 100 $, ares
changed hands The price reeeded frac-
tionally despite the announcement Of the
dividend at the regular 20 per cent rate.
and the statements recently received from
authoritative sources that more than p
per cent is being earned so far this yea.

THE STARVATION PLAN
OF Treating Dyspepsia and stomach
Troubles Is Useless and Tn
scfentidc

The almost certain failure Of the starya-
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but even now course OF
dieting is generally the first thing secom-
mended for a case OF indigestion or any
stomach trouble.
Many people with weak digestion. as
well as some physicians. consider the first
step to take in attempting TO cure indi-
gestion is TO restrict the diet, either Oy
selecting certain foods and rejecting ON
ers or to cut down the amount OF food
eaten TO barely enough to keep soul aud
body together, in other words, the starVa-
ton plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
All this is radl, ally wrong II IS foolish
and unscientific TO recommend dieting TO a
man already suffering from starvation be-
cause indigestion Itself starves every Or
gan, nerve, and fire in the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty Of good,
wholesome, properly cooked food, md
something to assist the weak stomach to
digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and
the true reason why they cure tne worst
cases Of stomach trouble
Eat a sufficient amount OF wholesome
food and after each meal take one or two
OF Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets to promptly
digest il.
In this way the system is n0urished and
the overworked stomach rested. because
the tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not one grain Of the
active digestive principle in Stuart's Dys-
pepsa Tablets being sufficient to digest
5000 grains Of meat, eggs, or a,buminous
food.
Dr. Harlandson and Dr. Redwell re-om-
mend these tablets in all cases Of dele +
i've digestion because the pepsin and dias-
tase in them are absolutely free from ami
NAL matter and other impurities, and, be-
ing pleasant to the taste. are as safe and
harmless for the child as FOR the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent prep
aration and the daily use of them after
meals will be Of great benefit, not only
as an immediate relief but 10 permau ntly
build up and invigorate the digestive Or
gans.

REGARDING CIRCUS PERMITS.
Edward J. Duf's Protest to the bis
trict Commissioners.

The District Commissioners yesterday re-
ceiyed a protest from Edward J. Duff
against issuing permits 10 circuses to show
on North Capitol and L Streets northeast.
Mr. Duff in his letter to the Commits
sioners takes issue with the representa-
lions recently made by Wilbur +. Nash
regarding circuses in this part Of the city
He maintains thai the people at North
Capitol and l. Streets do protest firmly
against the issue Of any more permits for
this purpose He declares that the circus
is not only a nuisance, but is in the char
acter Of a menace to the community on
show DAYS and he asks the Commission
ers to locate these exhibitions al some more
remote and less thickly settled part of the
District
Nj Duff further maintains that Mr.
Nash should not advance the plea that the
renting Of the lot TO circuses is needful
for him to pay his taxes, as. according to
Mr. Dun Nj Nash receives $40 600 rental
annually from the Government for two
warehouses occupied by the Government
Printing once
The protest has been noted by the Com
missiouers. and il is understood that they
will appoint hearing at some time in the
near future when all sides can be heard
upon the subject

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Dull and Lower-LarEe Deal
ings in Corn.

CHICAGO. March 6.-Wheat was very
duh and closed about 1-2c. lower. due
more from lack of trade than anything
else. Outside markets were all easy. Liv-
erpool was firm and 1-2d. higher, Paris
1-2c. lower, and Antwerp 5-sc. higher.
Primary receipts were about the same as
last year. Clearances were 24O, 600 bush
els. The Ohio crop report makes the con-
dition SO. There was no cash business
done here. The seaboard reported only
twelve loads taken.
Early corn was up lac. with quite a
speculative trade and with the claim,
made on good authority. that the cash
business with the seaboard within two
days has been at least 800. 600. The frac-
tional advance was lost before the close
because of the weakness in wheat but to-
nights corn prices are no lower than last
nights. Western offerings do not increase.
Liverpool was 1-4a3-Sd. up. There is said
to be an all-rail rate to Boston on corn
today Of 10 1-2c.
Oats prices were steady, with hardly
any trade, and getting their firmness from
sympathy with corn. Country offerings
are said to be increasing some. Profess
sional sentiment continues bearish. Seed
ing in the Southwest is not far OFF.
Provisions opened higher because Of
light hog receipts and to 10c. advance
in that market. but lost the Improvement
in sympathy with grain markets. Aside
from a moderate demand from packers the
trade was largely by scalpers.

The traction securities were among the
strong features OF the list. The arrest Of
the people supposed to have conspired to
force down the price Of Brooklyn by pub
fishing false statements regarding an i'm
pending receivership for the company, the
excellent statement issued this week by
the Metropolitan, and the announcement
by President Nreeland that $40 GOO, coo will
be expended this year in extending the
system, and, finally, the apparently some
what better outlook for an adjustment Of
the affairs OF the Third Avenue Company,
were all matters that tended 10 keep the
bears from venturing further on the short
side in the group. 1t cannot be doubted
that the Metropolitan is a very prosper
Gus system, earning an immense amount
