A Red Nose.

a red nose usually denotes imperfect
circulation. Clothing should be worn
loose, plain diet and no condiments nor
stimulants should be the dietetic rule.
Daily baths, with friction to promote
circulation, are requisite, and a body
massage roller should be used night
and morning. A local application
which has given relief in many cases
consists Of: Refined chalk, three
ounces; glycerine, one ounce. Spread
some Of the mixture on the nose n
night.

OF the bevel Is corrected to the form
given at F. when it must be honed on the

that a grindstone does not sharpen q

surplus metal and for restoring the
tool to its proper shape for the oil stone.

SHEEP-After a steady fall Of rain for
twenty-four hours II was not surprising
that the sheep came In wet, soaked through
and through. This fact, together with tho
fairly liberal receipts and lower range
OF prices at other selling points. caused
very slow sale and dull market Buyers
did not seem In any hurry TO buy wet sheep
or lambs carrying as much water as flesh
and the morning hours crept by with very
little business being transacted IL was

On the other hand, feeder buyers are con-
vinced that the market Is too high and
hold back in hopes fat sheep will sell on
and bring about a lower feeder market.

largest feeders OF sheep In the country at
the barn this morning, but like all the rest,
they seemed to be waiting for something
and were very backward about talking

on the sheep market this morning and II

NEW YORK STOCKS BONDS
Pail Of Prices is Resumed and Gains
Momentum with PrsgrsIG
DUE TO HARDENING OF MONEY MARKET
Demand for Funds from the
Interior and Abroad sends Up
the Rates for
Loans.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The fall in prices
Of stocks was resumed today, and gained
momentum with its progress. The, harden
ing OF the money market was the basic
cause Of the decline. There was no re-
tusal OF money facilities on the part Of
landers and no actual necessity therefor
for the closing out OF holdings OF stocks.
There Is very general sentiment besides
that severe stringency In money Is not
left that money rates are working closer
and will continue to do so.
II is deemed extremely improbable that
prices of stocks should continue to sd-
vance while money rates are rising and
loans being called in to some extent. With
the prices Of stocks admittedly higher
holders are 10th to see values recede from
under their holdings, however great their
confidence may be in the intrinsic worth
substantial reason for the sagging tend
ency Of the market There are. OF course,
TO lightly margined speculative holdings
and which appeal to the motive of the
alert trading element which seeks its ad-
vantage from the immediate outcome OF
prices rather than from any innate value
in the stocks which they deal IN II was
recognizable that the requirements of the
outstanding short interests were much
less urgent today than on yesterday, when
their buying furnished the uplifting in
fuence to prices. After the struggling
mixture of gains and losses on the opening
quotations the course of prices turned de-
cisively downwards
The interior demand for funds shows
further outflow Of funds to the agri-
cultural regions. IL Is concluded that the
avoidance of an indemnity payment by
Russia does not preclude the intentlon Of
floating a large Russian loan for which
European centers, are preparing. While no
japanese issue is expected Immediately, II
Is known that japanese funds In New
York are being remitted to London, where
they figure in the Bank of England as
reserve against note issues by the Bank
of Japan, which are expanding. 1t is ex-
pected that the final installment Of the
SUBSCRIPTIONS on the second series of Japa-
nese ~ per cent bonds may be also re-
mitted TO London after their payment
which is due on October 16 and which
calls for some $4,000 900.
The renewed threatening outgivings on
stock market affairs from a Boston opera
tor also got on the nerves of Wall street
owing to their timeliness, which caused the
reduction in price Of copper announced in
New York and the sharp drop in that
commodity in the London market. The
selling was the heaviest in the last hour
of the day when call money touched per
cent and the final prices were near the
lowest. The undertone at the last was
weak. Bonds were heavy. Total sales par
