PRIVATE WIRE ADVICES.
stock Market Affected by Financial
Situation at Home and Abroad.

IA. r. Thompson & Co.. Indianapoisl
NEW YORK, Oct. 21-After the pressure
which was put on stocks at the opening
was lifted the market advanced sharply on
large buying orders. said to have emanated
from the banking interest, but as soon as
this buying ceased the market became dull
although the undertone remained fairly
firm until the last half hour, when a sell
ing movement of profit-taklng nature set
in and nearly all of the early gain was lost.
Reports from Pittsburg were not reassur-
ing. rejecting considerable uneasiness at
that center The financial situation abroad
according to The cables, is also regarded as
serious, and the London market does not
seem to be disposed TO follow the upward
movement that is being manipulated here.

tunately for the selling SIDE the supply OF sheep
and lambs to-day small, and, with only
about enough to accommodate the request from
local butchers, steady average was maintained
III prices when compared with yesterday. On
account of the liberal receipts and lower prices
elsewhere it was naturally expected that there
would be reaction in prices here. and this was
avoided only by the limited supply. Shippers
on account of the small margin between prices
here and in the East were not much in evil
dence to-day. but the supply was exhausted by
local butchers. The last sales were steady at
opening prices. The best lambs the market
sold at $3.50, and other sales ranged from 81. 20
TO S5.25. Selected yearlng sheep sold high
as 81, but the best old sheep did not sell above
$3.50 and other sales ranged from 81 50 to So. 40.

A Sca1ping Market.

GPorterfeld & Co.. Indianapolis
CHICAGO, Oct 21.-The third day of a
scalping market in wheat was chronicled
to-day and there was about the same move
ment. with the exception that the bulge
did not carry tx quite high as heretofore.
1t was another case Of local bulls buying
early and as the outside failed to come in
prices again sagged. Corn had a narrow
market. Early there was strength. but
when wheat got weak it followed. Sellers
are still extremely bearish. Oats were mar
row, but some strength through covering
was the feature.

the strong demand from packers. The quality

as buyers are not making much difference for
hogs weighing upwards of 100 lbs there was
necessarily narrow range In prices. All deal
ers agreed that the early supply sold aver

and That there was not great deal OF a change
IN prices compared with those prevailing at the
close yesterday. Quite a number of hogs, in
fact, nearly one-third of the days supply came
in after the early arrivals had been sold. Pack
ers by this time had been very well supplied,
and were not inclined to buy many more. Sales
men, In harmony with reports from other places,
were asking strong prices and shippers were I'M
able 10 meet their demands. Several loads were
left unsold. All that changed hands before the
close sold as high equal kinds did in the
morning. Sales ranged from $40 to $50. and
the bulk of the supply sold at s5.60a5.65

CATCHING GOLD.
MORE DANGER FROM BAD VENTILA-
TION THAN FROM DRAUGHTs.
Many Serious Diseases Have Arisen
From Neglected Colds-Some
Useful Hints.

Most colds" said well known
physician, "are caught by infection,
generally from the breath Of someone
else who has cold.
when you are in close room with
person who is sneezing and snuf-
fling, open the window little or you
may catch that cold yourself. More
colds are caught by being in i'll
ventilated, stuffy rooms than from
draughts."
Don't neglect a cold. 1t may run
into influenza, rheumatism, consump-
ton or any of a number of dis
cases. AS an instance, take the case
of William H, Lovett, a farmer Of
Galva, Kansas. He says:
81 caught little cold summer be-
fore last. didn't do anything for it
and before long my health began to
run down. Then began to have
twinges in my legs. They grew worse
and about the twentieth of June | had
to take to my bed with rheumatism.
What cured me? DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. For four
months was unable to do any of the
work about the place, my legs swell
ed, | had terrible pains and the doc
tor admit help me bit. Then my
brother-in-law recommended DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills and in about two
weeks after beginning with them
felt better They did wonders for me
and now recommend them to every
one who suffers as did"
The cure of the severest cases of
rheumatism by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People has occurred all
over the land and their power in ordi-
nary cases is proportionately greater.
These marvellous vegetable pills go
directly to the seat of the trouble and
exert powerful influence in purifying
and enriching the blood by eliminat-
ing poisonous elements and renewing
health giving forces, They are a spe-
cific not only for rheumatism, but for
all ailments arising from a disordered
condition of the blood or shattered
nerves, such as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, st. Wins dance, sciat-
lea, neuralgia, nervous headache, the
after effects of the grip, palpitation of
the heart pale and sallow complex
ions and all forms of weakness either
in male or female.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold only in boxes at fifty
cents box or six boxes for two doll
lars and fifty cents, and may be had
of all druggists, or direct by mail from
