CLOSE WAS STRONG.
As Result Of strengthening Of the
Money Position Hartman in.
quiry Had No III effect.

New York. Jan. 5.-The speculative
revival which developed yesterday in
the stock market had the effect OF
bringing in large additional partci
patton today Transactions were
largely in excess of the recent aver
age, Prices waivered when the bank
statement became known and a sharp
reaction did not carry prices back to
the previous high point. But the
closing was strong. The greatest spec
ulative activity centered in the Har
riman group, especially Union Pa ific.
The disclosures of yesterday the
inquiry Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission Of the wide scope of the
activities of Hartman in purchases Of
stock, and the requirement Of a voice
in control Of other railroads came as
a surprise to most of the stock
holders. The exhibit of power thus
conferred in their property apparently
pleased them and no sign of the
anxiety recently felt was shown for
the consequences of this inquiry.
The speculative spirit was fostered
also by the quick relaxation in the
money market during the week Con
ddence on this point was somewhat
shaken by the bank statement, the
net result Of which was the cutting
down Of the surplus to nominal fig
ure. The large loan increase was
readily attributed TO the financing of
January settlements. The conditions
Of the money market however, was
evidence Of the actual strengthening
Of the money position and it was this
that induced later sup
port and rally in the market. Rates
'or line loans for all periods de-
1incd to a 6 per cent basis There
was a notable expansion in the buy
ng Of bonds at the stock exchange

lures were very weak back and sharp
pains across my loins. My wife nursed
me and took care of me, as l was ul-
able to do anything for myself. The
whole trouble was from my kidneys
which were very much disordered on
account of the hardships had endured
while in the army. The secretionS
from my kidneys were far too frequent
in passage, giving me much annoyance
particularly at night, and the secre-
tons contained white sediment. I
tried many remedies and doctors, but
without success. Finally l was advis-
ed by friend to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. got box at the Harper House
drug store and took them according t.
