VALUABLE INFORMATION
Something Every Person In Bennlng.
ton Should Know.

Nearly three hundred years have
passed since the medicinal, curative
elements known to exist In the Gods
liver were first discovered and recog-
nized by physicians as a specific In
the treatment of pulmonary and vast
ing diseases, and as a body-builder
and strength creator; but how to ex.
tract those medicinal elements from
the oil in which they were enveloped,
has been the study of some of the
most expert chemists in the world.
Now the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists, Morgues
and Gautier, should interest every per-
son in Bennington. BY an extractive
concentrating process they discov-
cred a way to separate the tonic,
body building and curative elements
contained in fresh Gods livers from
their useless oil. BY this process
Vinol was made.
Because Vinol contains no oil. but
embodies all the medicinal value of
cod liver oil, with tonic iron
added, it, is fast superseding old
| fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions
As a body builder and strength Gre
ator for old people, weak women, del.
icate children, after sickness, and for
all pulmonary troubles, nothing has
ever been known to excel Vinol. We
ask Bennington people to try Vinol
on our offer to return their money II
il does not give satisfaction. VIM l..

NEW YORK LETTER

New York, Oct 1.-THE stock mar
ket was dull and professional affair.
1t had spasmodic periods Of weakness
and other OF strength. St. Paul advanced
a point and one-haIf lower than the
closing figure last night This was
expected in view of the sensational
advance which It scored yesterday.
The short interest in the market seems
to be pretty well eliminated. The gen
eral market was bid up about point
from the opening figures but on the
advance met with aggressive and de-
termined selling pressure.
Despite the reduction in the dividend
rate of the Anaconda Copper company
copper stocks in the early part of the
session ruled higher. Amalgamated
Copper sold over so; Anaconda ad-
vanced about a point. The advance in
these issues, however. was only tenn
porary. Both Issues declined about a
point and a half from the high levels
established around the opening. 1t is
reported another cut in the metal mar
ket will take place in a day or two
this will bring the best grades of cop
per well under fifteen cents per pound
Gossip on the street was heard to the
effect that the district attorney gen
eral of New York will make an effort
to annul the charter of the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies
on the ground that they are operating
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. This bit of gossip could not be
confirmed. 1t had no effect upon the
telegraph stocks, however.
Two OF the cheaper classes of rail-
road shares came in for quite little
liquidation in today's session. South
ern Railway common and Mexican
Central were the two features OF the
low priced shares. The former lost
one point and the latter about two. 1t
is said the banks are discriminating
against this class Of stocks as collat-
eral thus causing the selling move
ment.
There was another furry in call loan
rates. The highest rates were about
per cent. closing at per cent.
The market as whole closed dull
and erratic. with declines noticeable
throughout the list.

CHICAGO LETTER

Chicago, Oct. 2.-WHEAT-Starte
the day off strong and higher. De-
cember wheat sold at LOO. later declin-
ing TO SO cents. May touched 1867 i. but
fell back to los Us. closing weak at
1O5A. Everything in the way of news
favored the bulls. Berlin cables
showed an advance equivalent to two
cents in our money; Liverpool markets
fractionally stronger about half penny
higher than yesterday Unfavorable
crop reports from Australia, scarcity of
offerings of wheat in Europe and a
splendid cash demand both locally and
for export 1t was reported about
twenty loads Of wheat sold to export
ers on the advance today. Wet wealth
er in the northwest is delaying the
harvesting
The market closed fairly strong with
a slight decline from the high prices.
CORN-Weak and lower. The May
option lost over cent a bushel The
selling seemed to be general All ap-
prehension as to the growing crop
seems to be dissipated. In its stead
some very conservative traders ara
predicting almost normal crop. There
is no doubt but what the damage done
to the corn crop has been greatly ex-
aggerated.
The constant increase In the arrivals
of old corn is too much for the hum
party Each day shows the stocks of
corn piling up in the primary markets.
OATS-Duu and featureless. The
Speculative market lost about three
Fights Of a cent for all the active flu
lures Trade light and professional
