The Washington times., 1908-05-30

When women first began to wash
clothes, they soaked them in a stream and
beat them with paddle. A hard job it
was then to get rid of dirt.
Then someone found that fat and I've
made a substance which, mixed with hot
water and rubbed hard, cleaned things
pretty well. This was soap.
Finally, came Fels-Naptha.
Fels-Naptha isn't simply good soap;
it's different altogether from soap as you
know it.
Fels-Naptha marks as big an advance
over soap in its usual meaning, as ordinary
soap itself did over the paddle.
Ordinary soap calls for much hard
rubbing and plenty of boiling water to take
away dirt: Some kinds of stains, greases
and blood it simply won't remove.
But Fels-Naptha cleans without hard
rubbing and you don use hot water at all.
With Fels-Naptha all you need is cool
or lukewarm water.
Think how this cuts all the terror out
of waShday.

STOCK MARK EFT REVIEW.
Dcsultory Fluctuatlon Just a Shifting
 of Exchange Barometer.

New York, Oct. 29.-To-days des- ultory fluctuations in prices of stocks were not reflection of any news det velopments affecting the individual properties or the general situation.
 for there were no such developments of any importance. Wall street is concerning itself almost exclusively now with the probable curse of stocks as a barometer of the condition of the country after the election has passed. The constant accumulation that has gone on at various stages from the panic level up to the current prices has resulted, unquestionably in on- centrating stocks in very strong hands The source of doubt of the future is the demand which may de-
 Velop on the part of the public 70 serve as medium for realizing profits on the present large specula-
 tive holdings of millionaire capitalists. Beliefs vary as to the extent of the fu- ture demand for stocks to follow the elections and the consequent ability of the holders of the large accumulations made during the past summer to market their holdings It Is the varia- tions of this belief that make up the speculative sentiment of the market. There was further selling of stocks early to-day by those representing the belief that realizing sales after the elections are likely to overbear the new demand This was a continuance of tne cleaning up of speculative ac- counts begun yesterday. Prices re- ceded while 1t was in progress, but recovered easily afterwards, giving notice that the forces back of the market had not relinquished control Operations Converged Jn the same limited group of securities as for some

The early attack on the days market was ascribed to a speculator who made q fortune not long since in the cotton market, and later transferred his ac- tivities to stocks. He has hitherto been credited with several successful coups chiefly on the short side, though once he was reported 10 have dropped near ly all that he made. This was last spring, when the "secondary boom" occurred in May, and prices went far higher than was expected, even by many wel-informed bankers That was alleged to have been the time when the Hartman party finding that there was an extended bear account, bid up stocks steadily until the "bears" had to settle at heavy loss The bear party" centred its attack on Union Pa cific to-day, driving it down in few minutes from 171 to 169%, and de- pressing Steel from AS to 478, Very little real stock came out, however, and from the looks of things the men who made the raid had to buy their stocks back at a loss

A good many reported of the selling orders of tho past two days mostly for lots of 100 shares-have represented liquidation by professional traders who preferred on general principles to be out of the market until they sec how the election goes Most of these people undoubtedly believe Taft will be elected, but they have either lost their nerve, or else thought that so long as they had profit, as many of them did, it would be wise to take it., and not run the risks of election day. The total selling of this sort in the two days has probably been 5OOOO shares
