SUPPLY OF MONEY

DISCOUNTS ON THE LONDON Ex-

ING GENERALLY WAS CoPARA-
lively CALM.

London. February 22.-The supply of
money was fairly plentiful in the mar
lSet today and the demand was fair. Dis
counts were firm in view of the position
in Paris. Trading on the stock exchange
generally was comparatively calm. No
further important decline resulted from
the Panic in Paris Saturday. 1t is diff
cult to estimate how far the demoraliza-
ton will extend.
Operators are nervous and disinclned
to buy until there is an indication of more
stability on the continent. Dealers com
menced business earlier than usual but
they We're chiefly occupied with the min
ing settlement Consos recovered and
closed firm.
Americans opened irregular. the major
ity being about parity, but trading was
quiet in view of the holiday in New York.
They closed firm. Foreigners had an I'M.
certain tone. They dropped after
opening with an Improvement. Russian
and Spanish securities recovered later.

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till it spread to his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body, and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch so that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and thin yellowish stuff
would be all over his pillow in the morn

to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got SO weak and run

Cuticura Ointment and he was so
soothed that | put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad felt when he
felt better. 1t took one box of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti-
