SoFTNESs OF SEALsKIN.

Dandruff is Cradle ated.

Sealskin is admired the world over
for its softness and glossiness; and
yet the human hair is equally as soft
and glossy when healthy; and the radi-
cal cause of all hair trouble is dandruff,
which is caused by pestiferous parasite
that saps the vitality of the hair at its
root. Newbro's Herpicide is the only
preparation that is fatal to the dand-
ruff germ. Without dandruff there is
no falling hair, but a luxurlant growth
of glossy. soft hair is certain. Scour-
ing the scalp won't cure dandruff. Kill
the dandruff germ. Thousands of wo-
men owe their beautiful suits of hair
to Newbro's Herpicide. Sold by lead

The game of football that Davenport
had hoped to get next fall may not be
Played at all, for the reason that Iowa

Minnesota wants bigger game for the

WAS ABOUT AS EXPECTED

New York, September 1O.-The strength in todays stock market was spotty and intermittent and was disappointment to the speculative element, which count ed on an active advance, because heavy buying was evident on Saturday, after the appearance of the bank statement with it's formidable showing of a deficit of s657S.0OO below the legal reserve. Events occurred today in about the way they were expected to as a basis for the strong closing of the stock market on Saturday But the stock market re- sponse today was moderate and the ranges of the advancing stocks rather a ragged one There was evidently good deal of realizing going on in stocks that were bought on Saturday and this added to the impression that Saturdays buy ing was for purchases of support rather than for accumulation. Erie Reading, United States. Amalgamated Copper and the Trans-Contnental group were all un- der more or less pressure. The effect upon foreign money and stock markets of the heavy demand of New York for gold had it's influence in checking speculative excesses here. There was much confusion also in estimating the exact amount of gold actually secured. owing to the pos sible duplication of announcements by the private banks making engagements, and the national banks acting for them and to which alone the privilege of hold ing government deposits against the gold engagements applies under the treasury order.
 It became evident early in the day, however, that the minimum estimate of Saturday on today's movement which was $10,0O0,000 was exceeded Call money loaned as high as 10 per cent early in the day but ran off to the neighborhood of. per cent before the principal money operations were concluded, rising again at 12 per cent at the last As an offset to last weeks cash loss by the banks of over $16,O00,00O the days gold engage ments were not fully adequate. The new bank week starts with a withdrawal of nearly a million by the sub-treasury and that institution was creditor at the clearing house this morning for nearly a half million dollars
 New York trust companies have com menced the accumulation of cash to fill the additional reserve requirement. in 1ofee october l, and With the movement of cash to the interior still in force the restoration of New York bank reserves to the legal requirement without additional loan contraction seems problematical. The question thus involved had It's part in the uncertain tone of stocks. So did the forces of opposition to the import of gold which were emphasized in the rise of dis count rates in London.
