Strong Financial Interests Buy
Openly in Large Quantities
on Wall Street.
SHORTS HASTEN TO. COVER.
Net Result Is a Decided Upward
Movement, With Close at the
Top-Pennsylvania Leads
in the Advance.

New York, Sept. "a very decided
change came over to-days stock market.
In place Of the recent heavy liouidations
and further shrinkage of values, there
was buying in large volumes apparently
by the leading financial interests, though
1t was more than likely that a goodly
part of the days purchases was really in
the nature of supporting orders.
It is also probable that some of the
high-grade stocks were also absorbed for
investment
The bears were not slow to observe the
changed conditions and covered very ex-
tensively; in fact, their attitude helped in
no small degree to sustain the list. which
was at top prices at the close.
Conditions at the outset were not en-
couraging. The cables reported a situa-
ton bordering on Generalization in Lon
don. don. where where consois 1:. had fallen to another
leading Americans. notably the Steel
stocks. Initial transactions in this mar
ket reflected the tone of that in Lond On,
and after the first few minutes the market
reversed its course under the Lead of
Pennsylvania, which was rho pivotal
issue of the day.
That stock was openly bought ty IN
terests that represent the rosi financially
and on sales of more than $4,000 shares
made net gain of 3% points. The strength
of this stock was the more noteworthy in
view of the previous days fierce drive
against 1t.
Other active and strong stocks included
Union Pacific, Atchison, st. Paul. Erie,
Reading and United States Steel preferred,
all of which gained points or more. Some
of the specialties made greater advance,
but the bulk of the days operations was
limited to the issues named.
A story went the rounds to-day that the
nnanctai interests fn
protect the market by united action. The
story was denied in authoritative circles.

the severe grueling that was meted cut
to shorts yesterday.
Nearly all factors have been made SUBJ
servient to bull domination, the complete
influence of which Is shown in the re-

up 10 points at a time. until 13.aoc had

level.
The rest OF the market rose In sympathy
In the early session, but the advance was
small In proportion. Speculation, while not
especially active, was considerably ex-
cited.
Tom p. Brown. the bull leader, was on
the floor of the exchange all day. When
seen and asked to say something. he only
replied:
IF you want to know what has been
done in cotton, Just look at the market. I
have nothing to say"
Tomorrow is the last day for settling
September contracts, and It would not be
surprising II the shorts had still to face

rounds that some of the houses have
been severely shaken, but it is believed that
no serious embarrassment will follow. as

accommodating spirit and have in several
cases relaxed the grasp they held upon

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ In the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by neglected cold. Dis
eases of the kidneys, bladder and diges-
tive organs are all frequently the result
of a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on
doctors and medicines trying to cure
these diseases, but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any Of
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
Address DIR. Hartman, President OF
The Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus o.

MAKING BIG TRAYS.
A Method of Making Ones That Are
Absolutely Waterproof.


The development of bromide en-
largements and the use of large sized
plates render necessary dishes of a
size which are very expensive to pur-
chase and often very unmanageable
on account of their excessive weight
especially if they are of glass or por-
celain. In consequences of the ex-
pense homemade trays are often en-
plCyed, but these are very likely to
leak and then become very bother
some. Perhaps the most general ex-
pedient is the lining of wooden tray
with oilcloth or sheet rubber, but such
q tray usually has wrinkles and folds
on the bottom, and hence is not par
ticularly economical of solutions, be-
sides being very likely to leak Sheet
lead may be employed as a lining,
but the trays then become very heavy,
A process frequently advocated is the
painting of the inside of wooden
tray with asphaltum to make it water
tight. In order to make this effec-
tive, several thin coats must be given.
with thorough drying between, and it
will then be found that he asphaltum
will not resist the prolonged action
of Photographic chemicals. The pro-
cess which we found to be most effec-
tual is to paint the tray with a coat
of glue to which has been added 5 or
6 per cent of bichromate of potassium.
. BY exposing to sunlight for two or
three hours, the coating becomes alb
solutely waterproof. We usually give
three or four coats of glue, with thor.
ough summing after each, and find that
the resulting tray leaves little to be
desired for lightness and durability.

One of the secrets of keeping young,
vigorous and supple-jointed, is to con
tinue to practice the activities of
youth, and to refuse to allow the mind
to stiffen the muscles by its sugges-

Peter Cooper and William e. Glad

Charging Women Less Than Men.

At the old-fashioned inns and res

to charge less for women than for
men on the theory that they do not
eat so much. At some hotels in Sweden
a man and wife are charged as one
and one-half persons if they occupy
the same room. A husband and wife
may travel as one and one-half per-
sons by railway. and also by the
post routes, furnishing their own car
