How to Break a Cold

1t may be a surprise to many to
learn that severe cold can be com
pleteIy broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms of cold
are dry, loud cough, profuse
watery discharge from the nose, and
a thin, white coating on tongue. When
Chanberlain's cough remedy is taken
every hour ON the first appearance of
these symptoms, it counteracts the eff
feet of the cold and restores the system
to healthy condition within a day
or two. For sale by all dealers.

SMALL RECOVERY
IN STOCK MARKET
Trading Was Absolutely Idle at
Times
TRACTION Is STILL WEAK
Louisville and Nashville Was conspic.
uous for Strength, Influenced by Ru-
mors of an Intended Increase
In the Dividend Rate.

New York, March 15.-Aeeording to the
alternating movement of the stock market
which has been noticeable this week.
prices should have advanced today in
reversal of the decline of yesterday. As
a matter of fact, tendency towards re-
covery became family perceptible in the
market after some early extension of
yesterdays decline.
There was not sufficient motive power
in the volume of transactions, however,
TO give the movement of prices much
Roadway. The recovery was also impeded
by the continued liquidation in. some Of
the public utilities stock. The dullness
OF the market was so extreme as to leave
the trading absolutely idle for long pc
RODS during which not a single transac-
tion was recorded on the tape. Some of
the prominent stocks which take their
pace occasionally as market leaders were
dealt in for only a few hundred shares,
some of them not opening until the final
hour of the session, while in a few cases
the day failed to yield single transac-
ton.
The continued collapse in the Chicago
Union Traction shares caused some anx-
iety as to possible consequences where
these securities might figure as a basis
for credits. The relapse In Peoples gas
was regarded as sympathetic, partly on
account of liquidation induced by the fall
in the traction shares, and partly by the
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-03-16

sentimental effect of the evidence offered
of the disastrous consequences possible
from hostile municipal action The con-
tinued liquidation In Consolidated gas and
rumors of a varying cut in the dividend
rate, reinforced this Interpretation.
Along the same lines was the same report
that railroad officials, both of western
and eastern lines. are discussing the adj
visibility of a voluntary rate reduction
as a concession to public opinion, and a
possible means of avertng some of the
proposed measures of restriction or reg
ulation of corporations. The practical
stagnation of the market was partly
attributable to the re-assembling of the
United Marine Workers convention, and
the desire to await the outcome of its de :
liberations. The call money market held
it's firm tone today the rate rising to
nine per cent during a late furry. The
days dividend disbursements. including
the $15.000000 by the Standard Oil Com
pany, were estimated at over $1S,O00,000.
The sub-treasury took upwards of mAr
hon dollars from the money market on the
days operations Notwithstanding the
rise in the money rate, foreign exchange
continued to advance strongly. Foreign
money markets were all inclined to harden
and Paris renewed Its demand on London
for gold. Foreign markets are subject to
the varying in fluence of threatened re-
currence of the Moroccan crisis, or with
any promise of the closing up of that
question, and the offering of a huge Rus
sion loan. With the passage through the
Senate at Albany today OF bill fixing re-
serve requirements for trust companies.
1t is thought to be likely that some ac-
cumulation of the reserves of these CON-
panies may have commenced in anticipa-
ton of the coming enactment of this
measure into law. Louisville and Nash
vile was conspicuous for strength today,
by rumors of an intended in
crease in the dividend rate. The influence
of the collapse in the Chicago Union Trae-
ton stocks was emphasized by the late
rise in the call money rate to per cent
and by the violent drop in Missouri Pa
cific of Az points by intervals of " to !
point between sales. The poor showing of
the annual report and the recent retire
ment from the directorate of important
financial interests were credited with the
drop in the stocks. The market closed

New York. March 15.-The cotton mar
ket was very quiet today, but ruled
steadier in tone and closed at a net ad-
vance of to S points. Sales were esti-
mated at 10000 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
Of 8 to Z points in response to higher
cables than expected on unsettled weather
in the south and reports Of an improved
spot demand. Right after the call all the
active months showed net gains ranging
from G to 9 points on covering of shorts
and little buying for turn, but
there was no indications of bull support
and as soon as the requirements of the
more timid shorts were filled the mar
ket eased off to practically the closing
figures of the previous day, under re-
newal Of local bear pressure and liquida-
ton. Private adviees from the south con-
tinued to report n firmer spot situation
and bad weather over the belt II being
stated that temperatures were low enough
to kill early planted cotton i'll the San
Antonio district, while rains were check
ing from work In other sections. The
market rallied during the afternoon. and
at one time showed a gain of 10 to Is
points. near crop months being relatively
firm. Toward the close realizing by early
buyers caused a recession of to points
from the best, and the final tone was
barely steady. Southern spot markets
were generally unchanged. 1t is reported
that there is a good inquiry for supplies
from the local stock, but sales officially
reported were only 2,04S bales.
Receipts at the ports today were 1865
bales, against 1926 bales last week and
81 ,4s4 bales last year. For the week esti-
mated 100000 bales, against 2S1 bales
last week and 150,175 bales last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans were 1880
