NEW YORK. March S.-The stock Mar
ket was extremely dull in the early deal
ings and the transactions commonly re-
suited in lower prices. The declines in
Third Avenue. and Sugar Refining were
the most noticeable ST. Paul was the
weak feature Of the railway list, presuma-
bly, because of the fears that the absence
OF any advance in the dividend rate might
cause some selling upon the announce
ment
outside of Sugar the dealings IN the in
dustrial quarter developed fractional de-
clines and American Sugar was the ex-
ceptiOn in a sharp advance. The dealings
IN Peoples Gas were fairly heavy but the
stock was inclined to weakness. Metro
politan Street Railway was sold on the
announcement Of the heavy expenditures
contemplated by the management and
Manhattan was neglected. Southern Rail

prospective advance in the dividend rate
tomorrow. After the initial dealings
somewhat irmer tone developed under
which there were fractional recoveries.
The London market again furnished a
higher range OF prices for American
stocks and had moderate business in buy
ing orders here. but its tendency was al
together without any effect in the local
market. ApprehensioDs Of stringent mon
etary conditions. prior to the going into
effect Of the new Currency law. appeared
to be the main influence respecting the

THE STARVATION PLAN
OF Treating Dyspepsia and stomach
Troubles Il Useless and Tn
scfRuaF0a

The almost certain failure % the starva-
tion cure for dyspepsia has Oeen proven
time and again, but even now a course OF
dieting is generally the first thing recon-
mended for case Of indigestion or any
stomach trouble.
Many people with weak digestion. as
well as some physicians. consider the first
step to take in attempt ne to cure indi-
gestion is TO restrict the diet either by
selecting certain foods and rejecting 9th
ers or to cut down the amount Of focd
eaten 10 barely enough 10 keep soul aud
body together, in other words. the starva-
tion plan is by many supposed TO be the
first essential.
All this is radically wrong. II is foolish
and unscientifc to recommend die ing TO A
man already suffering from Starvation be-
cause indigestion Itself starves every or
gan. nerve and fibre In the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty Of good,
wholesome, properly cooked food, aud
something 10 assist the weak stomach to
digest il.
This Is exactly the purpose for which
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and
the true reason why they cure the worst
cases Of stomach trouble
Eat sufficient amount of wholesome
food and after each meal take one or two
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to promptly
digest A.
in this way the system is nOurished and
the overworked stomach rested, be .ause
the tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not one grain OF The

Depsia Tablets being sufficient to digest

tase In them are absolutely free from ami

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

The outlook for the remainder of the
week is not particularly attractive. II does
not seem probable now that so near the
poor bank statement expected the market
leaders will care 10 attempt an upward
movement And on the other hand the
bears seem to have sold themselves very
nearly TO a standstill. and not much il any
decline is looked for. As is pointed out by
the best Of the financial authorities the fic-
tltiOus fears of the bears regarding the
prospect OF tight money should VIC -ry no
one Some authorities describe the pas
sage Of the Currency bill as the most i'm
pOrtant event in the cOuntry's financial
history FOR many years (meaning the most
important favorable development. and
while one is privileged TO take a very diff
ferent view II one wishes. there is little

hility that currency initiation will be the

the country. These are the new figures
for the day: The Increase on ffty-seven
lines during the month Of February. was
24-I6 per cent.
On the one hand there is the very posi-
tive assertion that even with the recent
cut OF 10 cents on every 100 pounds OF re-
fined sugar the margin OF profit is much
larger than II was a few months ago On
the other hand IL is asserted that the trust
is losing 1 cents on every 100 pounds Il
produces. II is somewhat against the cred
ibility OF the latter statement however,
that # is made by the same people that
said the trust was losing 4 cents a week
or more before this last reduction Of 10
cents was made. Very evidently II the

AMERICANS MUST NOT FLIRr.
Com III Hionep Peek Obliged to Check
This Propensity In the Guards OF
United Stntcs Section.

Commissioner Peck was obliged to
forbid American guards at the Paria
exposition flirting with the typewriters
and other fair employees. The Ameri-
can guards are handsome and wear
splendid uniforms. Hence they have
made havoc among the hearts Of the
fair ones who were attached to the Diff
ferent American sections, and, being
college boys as we'll, have been simply
irresistible.
The guards obeyed the orders of the
commissioner too well and strayed into
the confines of other nations. The re-
suit has been prolonged rcmonstrancs
from the men of these quarters at the
invasion of their rights by the superior
Americans
1t seems that the guards wandered
beyond the frontiers and lavished at
tcntions among the French. German,
Russian and Swedish girls. The little
matter of their inability to speak
the various languages made the con.
quests more attractive. Such stories
of sweeping victories made by the
American guards reached the ears Of
the commissioner general that he
would have torn his hair had he been
Frenchman.
"This international business must be
stopped" he told his young men. "You
must remain inside the territory OF
your own country"
