WALL STREET NOTES
Bears Have Exhausted the
Supply of RumOrs.
TRUMP UP MANY STORIES
Action of Canadian Pacific Sufiices
To Knock Out Theory that Veal
ness Is Due 60 Chance of war with
Japan-Mueh Selling for Foreign
Ace0unt--DOv's Theory Verified.

New York. Fen. 10.-The bears ran out
such an extraordinary line of unfavorable
rumors to-day that it was hard 10 see
now they could have anything left for an
other day. Every kind OF trouble that
could possibly beset the financial COM
munity was talked of-forced liquidation,
embarrassments. receiverships, interna-
tional complications, special messages,
and what not. There was nothing but
encouragement in the talk and hardly
any one had the courage to utter the
good old rule-fOr the time being APP
parently forgotten-that the best time 20
buy stocks is when nobody wants them.
The action Of Canadian Pacific should
have sufficed to knock out the theory that
the weakness Of the market was due 10
the danger of a war between this country
and Japan In the event OF such a war,
Canadian Pacific would almost certainly
get the benefit Of a large tonnage that
could not safely be committed 10 the
transportation companies in the United
States, and the prospects should make
that stock as strong as the stocks Of
other roads were weak, As Il was, how
ever, Canadian Pacific was one OF the
weakest spots in the market. as a re-
suit largely Of selling for foreign &C
count, Notwithstanding that the European
holders could afford 10 take calm view
OF the situation.
Theoretically. to-day's low figures ought
to remain low for the downward move
ment One of the late Charles II. Dows
theories. which was sustained In a great
number OF instances. was that after a
panic or other severe break in the market,
there should DC a recovery Of a sub
stantial part Of the loss, and then re-
action wiping out about half Of that re-
covery.
About half Of the recovery made by the
leading stocks from the low points Of
October and November 70 the high points
in January, was wiped out at to-days
low figure. Union Pacific sold as low
as 100 I'm October and as high as l2S 5-lS
In January. To-days low point Of 1l3 is
represented q loss Of something more than
half Of the advance.
Readings rise had been from 20 IL 20
III. ex-dividend. the equivalent Of 1I2 with
the dividend UH-and az tO-day's low. the
advance was about cut in half. Much
the same was true of other active issues.
but Of course this may be one Of the
cases TO which theories do not apply. No
rule for speculation has ever been made
that admits OF no exceptions
Advantage was taken Of the break by
some of the heaviest shorts IN the mar
ket 10 cover. and this, with the liqulda-
ton. left a better supply Of stocks IN the
loan crowd than at any time last week.
United States Steel became more plenti-
full but otherwise gave indications Of con-
tinued strength. At the close, opinions
we're divided as to whether this stock
would yet give way before the general
market started definitely on an upward
course.

COMMENT ON MARKET.

Benjamin Woodruff. of Post & Flag
THE market was weak. although there
was a feeble rally in the last few min
utes. As is usual in d weak market Of
this sort, there were many rumors OF
banking troubles. &c. but I believe that
the fundamental trouble lies in the politi-
cal situation and outlook. Our Chief
Executive has seen fit to attack all vested
interests and has been outdone in this
By Mr.. Bryan. so that between them they
have destroyed what little confidence
there was springing up after the worst Of
the panic. Prices are undoubtedly low.
In many cases down 20 almost a receiver
ship basis, but we can have no revival
In general business as tong as the Prasi-
dent continues 10 issue manifestoes. The
fortunate thing is that prices are so low
Ihere must be value somewhere, and We
are gradually getting down to the low
level of the recent panic

day, which started in London this morn
ing before our opening and continued
during the session here. causing sharp
breaks through the list. The buying was

sustaining feature 10 prices. As % news
to account for the weakness in stocks
there were some rumors in connection
with the Union Pacific dividend being
held up by the courts. but outside Of this
there was really nothing having any basis
OF fact The chief point to the market is
that influential interests have been selling
stocks for some weeks past on the rally.
and this selling is now being followed 10
aggressively. / feel that stocks will work
lower later on and should be sold on

THE OPINION OF AN ENPER7
POULTRY BREEDER.

Poultry breeders who have gained a
reputation for the reliability of their
stock either for exhibition or for gen

ample is well worth following. c. A.
Browning of Apponaug, r. l., is such a
one, and what he says about poultry
food is therefore of especial interest
and value. He says, in Il recent letter:

This is remarkable breeding in the

IN THE USE OF
POULTRY FOODS.

Experience is the best teacher every
time. 1t is fortunate that all do not
have to go through the same expert
ence. Some can have the benefit of
that which others have gone through.
II is not necessary that every poultry
keeper should use all the various foods
that are on the market, in order to
learn which is best and most reliable.
He can rely somewhat on the expert
ence of those who have used them.

The good and helpful influences of

under three heads-comradeship, CO.
operation and citizenship.
Comradeshlp suggests those social
influences that arise out of the frater-

Cooperation includes those that come
from the business contract. the trade
card and all forms of combined buy
ing and selling.
Citizenship covers the influences
that emanate from the public express
sion of the popular will.

us. DISPENSATORy
Describes the Principal Insf edlents
Contained In Pe-ru-na.


Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice lea
tarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine.
Oil Of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. Itacts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract 1t acts as a
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to us for free book of testi-
monials of what the people think of
Peruna as catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

Peruna Almanac for 1909.
