STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 22.--The strength in
today's broad and animated market was
the sequence of the sudden awakening
of speculative activity yesterday aftcH-
noon. A large bear account was caught
uncovered as consequence of the persist
ent short selling by the professional ele-
ment for some time past on the asSump-
tion that the money market could not
escape squeeze between now and the
first of the year and that the growth or
opposition in the Northwest to the North
ern Securities Company would dissent
nate depression throughout the market.
The unexpected collapse in the foreign
market and the prospect OF recuperation
for the money market left the bears with
out much ground to stand on, and they
bought eagerly to cover today. This was
a considerable influence in the recovery
of prices. But the clearing up of the
money situation leaves the way open for
the natural operation of various forces
making toward higher prices. The char
acter of todays market made 1T appear
that considerable speculative element
has been waiting and eagerly on the watch
for just this development. The demand
for some of the favorite stocks was on
a very heavy scale and the days trans
actions were run up once more to over
a million shares. Considerable advance
durin the day invited profit taking in pro-
fessional dealings and the last prices OF
principal stocks were between l and z
points lower thanythe best. The late sell
ing was accentuated by renewal OF the
acute weakness in Peoples Gas on the de-
NAL of a retaining order against the as
sessment of taxes on the alleged high
valuations of Illinois corporations. The
stock lumbled az from the best, and Con-
solidated Gas slumped Az. The agrees
sive strength of New York Central and
Manhattan continued widely diffusive
influence in the whole market. No infor-
nation was forthcoming to explain
these movements There were rumors OF
control of Manhattan by New York Cen
trail and of coming distribution OF the
surplus in the treasures of New YORK
Ccntrafs subsidiary companies. The de-
termined buying of Pennsylvania and the
aggressive bidding up Of Pittsburg, c. c.
c. and st. Louis were based entirely, to
all appearances, on a purpose to rectify
l. the disproportion in the prices of these
stocEs compared with the Vanderbilts.
The placing of Hooking Valley on a regu-
lar per cent dividend basis was an earn
est Of the prosperous conditio ruling in
the soft coal trade, which was reflected
in the absence of practically that whole
group of stocks. The October statement
| of the net earnings of New York Central
| showing an increase of 165 per cent over
| those of October of last year was ample
explanation of the recent strength in the
anthracite coalers. The collapse in the
| foreign exchange market was due to the
| sudden falling off in the demand to cover
maturities. which has been a feature o
J the market of several weeks The further

CAUSES OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Recently
Discovered.

The Most Common Cause Only Recently
Discovered.
1t has been stated on good medical au
thority that nine -tenths of cases of deaf
ness are caused from catarrh or from
sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with sort of
velvety structure called mucous men,
brane. This membrane is simply a con-
tinuation of the mucous membrane lining
the throat. When disease of any sort at
tacks the mucous membrane of the throat
it is very liable to extend into the Eusta-
chan tube and up into the ear.
The history of neary al cases of deaf
ness is like this a cold is contracted and
neglected, other colds are taken the
throat becomes sore and infiamed, which
is aggravated by particle OF dust and
germs from the air. This condition cause
the disease TO spread into the tube that
leads to the car.
1t seems a little far fet Ii d to say that
most cases of deafness are caused from
catarrh, but j. is "-rtainly rue, and any
one who has had a severe catarrhal cold
must have noticed how the hearing was
effected while the cold listed.
With catarrh sufferers this impairment
of hearing benomes chronic and grows
worse the longer the catarrh is neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness by
the regular use of an excellent new prep
ratiCn called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
composed of antiseptic remedies which
act both on the mucous membranes but
p, ncipally and most efiectually on the
blood, elm mating the catarrhal poison
from the system.
People whose hearing is defective may
think it little remarkable that a SIM
pie and harmless tablet would very OF
ten remove all traces of deafness, but
when it is remembered thai catarr1
CO ses the deafness and that the ca
tarrh is easily cured by the regular use
Of Stuart's alta h Tablets there is no
mystery about it. So
If you are subject TO ne sal ycatarrh or
catarrh OF thrc9t, broIeEiRl tubes or ca
tarrh of stomach and live Athe safest and
most effective treatment is the now ca
:arrh specific. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
sold by all druggists at 20 cents for full
sized package.

Speculation was decidedly the largest OF

houses were liberal buyers particularly

TRAVEL AND STUDY CLUBS.

Formed In the G4eited States and
Canada For Visit 10 the Pam
American Exposition.
No one of experience needs to be told
how much more pleasant travelling and
sightseeing is with agreeable compan-
ions than all by oneself There is
truth in the saying that "a pleasure
shared is Il pleasure doubled" The
fact that it is we'll to know beforehand
something of the nature of what is to
be seen and how to get about with the
smallest loss of valuable time and in
convenience and get intelligent ideas
is equally appreciated by those who
have wandered from their own fire
sides in search of pleasure. 1t has
been the experience of thousands Of
visitors to EXpoSitions that loneliness.
though in the midst of great crowds,
robbed them of much of the enjoyment
in store and that by reason of not ac-
Quainting themselves in advance with
what was to be seen they missed the
things which might have appealed to
them strongest.
In view If all this. the plan Of form
ing travel and study clubs by those
who intend visiting the Pan-American
| Exposition at Buffalo next Summer
which has been adopted in many cities
and villages of the United States and
| Canada may he said to he an excellent
one. The membership of these organi-
cations is composed of people of both
sexes and all ages practically. The
| objects are pleasant cOmpanion>hip, ar
| rangementS for transportation and ac
| cOmmOdatiOnS and au intelligent and
! comprehensive view and knowledge
/ of the Exposition. The course of study
taken up comprehends everything in
connection with the trip and The Expo
sition and side trips as well. Among
the subjects are the following:
Routes and Rates.
City of Buffalo.
Countries of the Western Hemi-
sphere and the New Possessions of the
United States. (al Geography. 90 His
tory. tcl Resources.
Pan-American Exposition. tal Object.
(bl Arrangement Of Buildings and
Courts. (cI Meaning Of the harmonious
architectural. sculptural. floral, horti-
cultural. fountain and electrical effects.
with reference to illustrating the prog
rees Of the race. Id exhibits. (e) amuse-
mentS.
Niagara Falls. (a) Natural Wonders,
m Power Development.
Much of the information necessary
to this course of study is furnished by
the Bureau of Publicity OF the Pan
American Exposition. Buffalo, while
the remainder is procured 10y the clubs
from Railway and Steamship offices
hotels. Information bureaus. libraries
and elsewhere.
This study at any time would bC
very interesting and valuable, but with
the prospect Of amplifying it with Il
visit to the Exposition, where the peO
pies of the different countries and the
varied resources of the Western IIemi
sphere will be assembled, amid splen
doris such as were never before pre-
sented to the sight, the measure Is
largely increased.
