Opinions ON the New York Market

Benz Woodruff, Of Post q Flagg In
terest centered in the Presidents speech,
delivered yesterday at Indianapolis. l be-
lieve the address indicates that Mr. Roose-
welt is inclined TO recede somewhat from
his previous drastic attitude, and l believe
he has at last realized that it is impossi
ble to injure capital without hurting the
WOrkngmen as much if not more. After
a strong opening and fairly active hour
or two. the bear party again got in its
fine work. selecting Union Pacific as the
point Of attack, this being one Of the
Presidents Dad roads," and hammered
the price down two points or more. caus-
ing d gradual and general decline through
out the list The result is that we have
returned 10 the dullness and professional
fluctuations 20 which We have become ac-
customed Of late. The only way money
can be- made in a situation like the pres
ent is TO sell stocks on the rallies and
buy back on the declines. as Il IS not at
all likely that we will have any material
movement i'm either direction for some
time. While the short interest is large
and furnishes an important element Of
strength, we are having gold exports. and
there is likelihood Of crop injury, 50
there IS not an adequate basis as yet for
an aggressive upward movement"
The Washington herald., 1907-06-01

G. Bowie Chipman, Of Z. r. Chapman
& Ca view Of to-night's closing
prices seems to preclude any conclusion
other than that the strength during
Wednesdays session and the first two
hours to-day was caused almost entirely
by short covering, aided by slightly i'm

patton and realization Of the contents Of
President Rooseyelts Indianapolis speech.
The market was strong this morning, but
during the balance Of the day s5gged off

rally point The final prices, as compared
with Wednesday night. show but few
changes among the active stocks. and
these generally on the side Of losses. I
expect this kind Of a market 20 continue.

cal local conditions, while possibly slightly
improved, are stu Of sufficient bearish

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what.
ever food or medicine may be offered you?
Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character Of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made OF
and verifes it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman'S peculiar weak
nesses, irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging-down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvice region, accom-
panied, Outlines, with facilitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is most efficient remedy.
It is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
the expectant mother for baby's coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and com
parativeiy painless. The 0Favorite Pre-
scription" is most potent, Strengthening
tonic to the general system and to the
organs distinctly feminine in particular.
It is also a soothing and invlgorating
nervine and cures nervous exhaustion,
nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria,
spasms, chorea or ST. Vitus's dance, and
other distressing nervous symptoms at
tendant upon functional and organic dis
eases of the distinctly feminine organs.
A host of medical authorities of all the
several schools of practice, recommend
each of the several ingredients of which
"Favorite Prescription is made for the
to be a cure. You may read what they
say for yourself by sending a postal card
request for free booklet of extracts from
the leading authorities, to Doctor Z. V.
Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y, and it will come to
you by return post
