New York, July 24.-The dullness
and feebler fluctuations in prices today
in the stock market reflected the flag
ging of speculative interest. Sharp op-
ening declines met with considerable
effective support and substantial rallies
followed. The weakness was again re-
newed when the grain market opened
and showed notable strength for both
corn and wheat resulting in declines
in stocks exceeding those at the open
ing and extending from the Changers
into other portions of the railroad list.
Later there was an attempt to lead an
upward movement by bidding up I'm
ion Pacific and the Wabashs and there
was some show of firmness among the
Southern railroads and seaboard soft
coal carriers but the market yielded at
the last to renewed weakness when
the room traders attempted to take
their profits, and the lowest prices for
the Grangers and Pacifics were made
slightly before the close. which was
feverish and irregular.
The railroad bond market was dull
and heavy. U. S. new As declined Il

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,

is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing tho system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting ON the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
