IN THE STOCK MARKET
Lower Prices and Light Trading
at the Opening Of Business.
j. Somewhat Steadfer Tone Develops
After tne Initial OperafiOns-Lon-
don Influences the Declining Move
nlent-Most of th. Activity in the
Railway List-sugnr Feature.

NEW YORK, Oct 9.-Lower prices were
common IN the Stock Market upon the
opening e business this morning, and the
trading was light
London's influence was in the direction
of lower prices also. as material declines
were reported in the American quarter in
London, and foreign houses were fairly
large sellers at the opening of business
bere. The depression in the London mar
ket was said to be owing to fears of more
stringent monetary conditions as a result
of the, probable exports of gold to this
country. There were otherwise no devel-
opments over night of any consequence
bearing upon the market.
Most Of the trading was in the railway
list where the declines extended to about
One-haif a point in the granger and the
Pacific stocks.
Sugar Refining was the active feature of
the industrial quarter and was fairly
steady, while the steel industrials declined
on reports of aggressive fighting among
the steel rail manufacturing companies.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was again a
strong feature of the market as was Colo
rado Fuel and Iron.
After the initial dealings the market de-
Teloped somewhat steadier tone.

UNNECESSARY aEs DANGEROUS.
Surgical Operation aesr Cure of Piles
Discarded bs Best Medical

prominent orifcIal surgeon says: 1t Is
the duty of every surgeon to avoid an op-
Grafton II possible to cure in any other
way. This is especially true in the treat
ment OF piles and rectal troubles because
such operations are attended with excru-
cIating pain and serious danger to life by
collapse of the nervous system
Furthermore. operations for piles are
often unsuccessful and always very ex-
pensive.
The most advanced physicians now rise
and recommend the use Of astringents,
combined with healing oils of vegetable
extraction, and administered In supposi-
tory form. The most widely used and best
known remedy of this character is the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure, sold by druggists every
where. This pile cue contains no cocaine,
ne opiate. no poisonous drug whatever. and
single 50-cent package in some in
stances has cured cases Of several years
standing
The harmless acids, astringents, and oils
contained in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause
the blood vessels and congested veins to
contract to natural condition, the little
tumors are absorbed, and the cure is made
without pain, inconvenience, or detention
from daily occupation.
Being in suppository form, it can be car
ried in the pocket, always ready for use.
Ointments. salves, and pills sometimes
relieve piles. but they do not cure.
The safest and surest way TO cure any
form of piles-itcting, bleeding. or pro-
truding-is to use rhe Pyramid Pile Cure.

depressing effect of the civil war.
