SHIFTING OF THE LEVEL
 OF PRICES
Dealings are Small, and the Profes- sionals Have Things in Their Own Hands--Expected January Investment Demands 10
 Absent.

New York, Jan. 5.-There was little life in the market today and the senti- ment as exhibited in the movements fluctuations were constant and the from an average higher than last night to a lower one. Dealings were small and were attributed almost altogether to professional sources. The expected January investment demand failed to develope and the fear was thus en- gendered that whatever buying was to be expected on this account had been included in the December movement which was attributed at the time to a demand from dealers for the purpose of stocking up for the January invest ment demand. The feeble downward movements. which alternated with the indifferent advances were supposed to be due to short selling hy traders to a large extent such as the consequence almost invariably of dull and halt ing period in the buying of stocks. There was some natural reaction from the stimulation caused by the fall of Port Arthur and the Northern Securities decision and the tone of the discussion both here and abroad was much less hopeful of prompt peace as the re- suit of the surrender of General Stoessel. The possibility of the ex- pected NortnweStern Railroad develop ments may also be considered. Some effect is produced on sentiment by the rather censorious discussion of some recent episodes in the making of bank loans for stock market purposes, which have come to light in the process of liquidation. The criticism offered by the New York State Controller in his annual report of some banking and trust company methods are given ad- ditional force by such occurrences. Further engagements of gold for ex- port added to the influence of that factor. Money. however, continued extremely easy and served as. safe- guard against any pressure on the stock market. The general list was sustained also by a number of points Of positive strength. Amalgamated Copper had the benefit of a further advance in the price of the metal. The coalers responded to the reports of ex- cellent conditions in the anthracite trade. This last group proved the mainstay of the market and it was the strong advance in the Fries that made the closing steady. Rumors of an early dividend for Erie second prefer red accompanied the rise. The bond market was very broad but the move- ment of prices somewhat irregular Total sales par value ss,420 900. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
SEVERE BREAK AT THE OPENING
 OF THE SESSION.
Weak Cablss, freer oRerinss From the south and Continued Presssre by the Bears--Trading on the
 Whole Was Less Active.

New York, Jan. 5.-The cotton mar ket was rather less active and after q severe break at the opening ruled ir- regular with final prices not far from the initial figures. The opening was weak at a decline of 1s@21 points in response to easier Liverpool cables, re- ports of freer spot offerings from the South. and q continuation of the bear pressure and liquidation which deve1- open around the high point of 7.39 for May on yesterdays bulge. The decline at the opening was enough to attract considerable profit taking by the scalp Ing element who had sold yesterday, but in spite of this prices continued to work downward until the general list showed, a net loss of nearly half a cent from the figures current yester- day. Following this, offerings fell of eomewhat and the room trade consider Ing the decline too violent, turned to the long side for quick bulge with the result that prices toward the mid- ale Of the afternoon ruled about 10 points up from the lowest. Later there was . renewal of pressure. Some of the large floor brokers seemed to have orders to try and shake out the buy CTS of the middle session and prices were forced back under large offerings of certain months. Just before the closing the market was steadied by room covering, but hnal quotations showed a net loss of about 17@20 points. Sales of futures were esti- mated at s5o,o0o bales.

Noy IEINdte Wre rom 0lpert & Clay.1
 New Orleans, Jan. 5.--The decline in ths Liverpool market was due principally to American selling orders. Importers were also said to be offering freely. A gradual decline according to some cables is believed impending. owing to the absence of specu- lative support. The loss in contracts amounted to 13 points and spots declined 8 points on sales of 1000 bales. Cloths were quiet and yarns irregular in Manchester.
 Our market was decidedly heavy around the opening and the early losses were aug mented. During the remainder of the day prices fluctuated within e comparatively narrow range. easily influenced by the waves of either buying or selling orders, on account Of the moderate amount of busi- ness doing. There was much less activity in the spot market, holders of cotton as g rule refusing to make concessions good grades are very firmly held and in much demand by exporters. to fill January com. mitments. As yet the light receipts are as tracting very little attention, but they clear ly evidence the splendid fight the country is making.
 slight improvement in prices would not be surprising. but arguments in favor of It's permanency are not sufficiently convinc- ing as yet to advise buying for other than turn. while the policy of selling on a scale up seems to present the most attractive fea- lures.

A Remedy Which Eas RevoIusionized
the Treatment OF Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery nor yet a secret patent
medicine, neither is il claimed to cure
anythin. except dyspepsia. Indigestion,
and stomach troubles with which nine
out Of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form Of pleas
ant tasting tablets or loZenges, contain
ing vegetable and fruit essences, pure
aseptic pepsiD Government test), golden
seal, and diastase The tablets are sold
by druggists under the name of Stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting
experiments to test the digestive power
of Stuart's tablets show that one grain
of the active principle contained in them
is sufficient TO thoroughly digest 3 09Q
grains Of raw meat, eggs, and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and liz
flame the inteStineS without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or cur
ing indigestion
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it viii

no organ is so much abused and over

This is the secret, if there is any Sc

Stualt's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known of any
Treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merits as a digestive pure and

into blood nerve, and tissue. They cure
dyspepsia. water brash, sour stomach

they furnish the digestive power which
weak stoma achs lack and unless that
lack is supplied it is useless to attempt
to cure by the use of "tonics,' - pills"
and cathartics which have absolutely
no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regular
use of one or two of them after meals
will demonstrate their merit better than
any other argument.
