DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Market Feverish Result of Preceding Days Crash in

A MISSING CORNERSTONE.

The workmen are busy in excavating
the old Mint site on Chestnut Street
preparatory to the erection of q modern
building Much curiosity has been ex-
pressed by the public as to the location
of the cornerstone. and the workmen
have to answer queries in regard to II
every day. That the building had a CO.
neTsJ0ne is q fact atteSted by history,
but what ths box in il contains or
whether there ever was box placed in
it is one Of those things no fellow can
find out. as Dundreary says. The news
papers of the time throw no light upon
the subject The stone was laid July 4.
1929, and that day fell upon Monday.
The printers were too patriotic TO work
on the Fourth. and as no Sunday papers
were printed IN Philadelphia in those
days. there was no paper between Sat
urday and Tuesday. And there is no
mention OF the Mint or the cornerstone
laying in any paper published within a
month of the time: so that curiosity
will remain unsatis1ed until the corner
stone is uncovered by the workmeu--

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

The advances in London this morn
ing may or may not mean an important
change OF sentiment reflected from this
side as an aftermath of yesterdays dis
dstroVs turn In the tide OF values. The
chances are moderate reaction VIII
AXE place from perfectly natural causes
and realization of the fact that yes
terday's decline went far beyond any
influence of sufficient importance TO
bring it about. As far as Il resulted
from the decision In the merger case. it
certainly passed the limit. though It
may be an indication Of how much de-
pendenCe had been placed on his method
Of discounting the future by the larger
financial interests, to say nothing Of
their following. who had come TO believe
that all or nearly all Of the great rail-
road properties were TO be absorbed and
held under this plan the great advantage
OF what would subsequently be called the
original holders. It Is hoped that the
abandonment OF this idea has had its
full effect upon the market and that
the really favorable condition OF traffic
and general conditions will leadto public
confidence which. with fair supply Of
money. is all that is needed 10 give the
market q better tone

The market is now under the influence
Of rather active buying orders and is
showing considerable activity in some
smart rallies Il is not likely. however.
that more than moderate reaction will
prevail In view Of the continuance Of
liquidation forced on margin calls and
not few stop orders. The market does
not seem 10 be under pressure from de-
liberate bear selling for the short ac-
count. though possibly efforts have been
made to cause depression in special
issues. The many rumors to the effect
that further and more searching action
viii be taken regarding other combina-
tons and mergers are not regarded as
worthy Of notice.

1t was decided yesterday to drop the

ent. The opinion IS expressed by one in
a position 20 speak with authority that
it viii never be taken up again. 1t is
said that while the decision in the
Northern Securities case does not apply
10 the Rock Island Frisco deal legally,
it was agreed that it would be unwise
TO attempt 10 finance the transaction in
view Of the present feeling in Wall
Street circles. The opinion is also ex-
pressed by one who has looked into the
matter carefully that Frisco common
stock is worth much more than the
price which the Rock Island interests
are willing 10 pay for It This Is said 70
have been from $50 to $50 a share. The
same authority also expresses The opin-
ion that Frisco securities will be bene-
flied rather than injured by the aban-
donmeHt OF the deal 1t is pointed out
that he property is already shaping into
large proportions with excellent con-
necttons. and that the capitalization is
unusually small

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.

lSschsche is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
A Missouri Valley resident tells you
how this can be done.
j Il Lewis, boiler maker, Of 223 North
Second street, says: For years knew
that my kidneys were either weakened
or overexcite0, but what t, do to check
tne trouble. let alone stop il. was a
mystery. A dull pain,n the small of
the back was often qnite severe and
during severe attack happened TO
read in q paper about Doan's Kidney
Pills. THIS was some three years ago
and sent to Omaha for a box. 1t
proved tn be an excellent remedy diff
fering from anything else had ever
employed. The treatment stopped that
particular attack. Since then as oc-
easion required have appealed to
Doan's Kidney Pills when symptoms
of recurrence showed themselves and
on each and every occasion l have
stopped them in tie early stages. No
