Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Dec. 26-Further very
large and varigated absorption of
stocks marked today's proceedings IN
today's stock market. The heavy
demand for stock at an advancing
tendency of prices was convincing
demonstration of the confidence in
values and the strong hopes for furth-
er advances. The 35 per cent money
rate before the close gave point TO
the warning, but the course of the
early market soon dissipateG the APP
prehension that the Christmas adj
vance was over and made small ac-
count of the warnings of the conser-
vative. The small period remaining
before the end of the year added to
the indifference with which the possi-
bility of another money furry was
contemplated. Such furry admit
tedly, was not only possible, butt i'm
probable. The January disburse-
ments will be larger than usual this
year and the necessity for providing
for them will be correspondingly
large. But while the preliminary
pressure will be thus aggravated the
subsequent relaxation is expected to
be correspondingly great There
continues quite an urgent demand for
the shorter periods. including sixty
day and thirty day loans and a COM
mission is pald Tor FUNDS for those
periods. which holds the rate at the
equivalent of to 8 per cent Specu-
lative confidence, however, continues
unimpaired and there was reported
today growth in the outside demand
for stocks.
The aggressive leadership was re-
sumed today by Union Pacific and the
United States Steel stocks was of a
large effect on sentiment. There
was no specific news regarding either
stock, but strong impression wa:
produced by the very general bellies
that the heaviest demand came from
sources near to the control of these
companies. Copper securities of al
kinds were animated and buoyant

could not make this offer-a full
dollars worth free-if mine were an
ordinary kidney remedy. 1t is not.
1t treats not the kidneys themselves,
but the nerves that control them.
The cause of kidney trouble lies al
ways in these nerves. The only way
to cure kidney trouble is by strength
ening ana vitalizing and restoring
these kidney nerves. That is exactly
what my remedy-Dr. Shoop's Re
storative-does. Therefore l can make
this offer with the certain knowledge
that every kidney sufferer who makes
this trial will be helped.
When ! say nerves" l do not mean
the ordinary nerves of feeling
thought, action. l mean the automatic
nerves, which night and day. unguid-
ed and unseen, control and actuate and
operate every vital process of life.
These are the master nerves. The
kidneys are their slaves. Your mind
cannot control them. Your will can
not sway them. Yet when they are
strong, you are well; when they are
not, you weaken and die.
! have written a book on the kid
neys which will be sent when you
write. This book explains fully and
| clearly how these tiny, tender in
side" nerves control not only the kid
| neys but each of the other vital or
gans.
/ have made my offer that stran-
gers to my remedy may know. 1t is
not intended for or open to those
who have used my remedy. They
need no further evidence But to
those who have heard, or hearing,
