NO ANIMATION IN
STOCK SPECULATION
STOCKS, HOWEVER ARE STRONG
ELON-CUTTING" is THE
FEATURE INCIDENT.
WelIsFarso Sells at 60 Mounting Far
Above All Previously Known Re-
cords For Stock.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The strong
tone of stocks today was not accom-
panied by animation in the specula-
ton. The most striking incident of
the days news was the announcement
of the melon cutting by the Wells
Fargo Express company. The maxi
mum dividend distribution on this
per cent yearly, the advance to that
rate representing a concession to de-
mands from a clamOrous minority of
the stockholders. The high record
price for the stock before the present
year was 1926. Today's announcement
induced sales at $50.
The distribution amounts to three
times the par value of the outstanding
stock in cash, calling for $24,000,000,
while the capital is increased to three
fold at the same time and the increase
offered to present stockholders at par.
The reinvestment of capital to be dis
tributed might involve some ingenious
reason as to the direct profit accru-
ing, but the effect is sufficiently bril-
liant to appeal to investment holders
Of all similarly situated corporations.
The collateral topic came up for
discussion how far this action might
anticipate possible inquisitorial activ-
tiles by government authorities and
dustry that yields such profits, es-
pecialy in view of the contentious by
the national authorities for the inclu-
sion of the express companies as COM
mon carriers.
Various other high grade investment
stocks rose buoyantly, especially
those for which the possession of con
cealed assets is claimed. The anthra-
cite coal carriers come within this
range
The coppers were revived to some
extent and there were reports of some
recent large sales of the metal, which
were put forward, however, without
official authority attached.
The issuance of the call for reports
of condition of national banks at the
close of business November 16 has
been expected to relieve the banks
from some constraint in granting ac-
commodations with they have been
under while awaiting this call.
The building up of the bank of Eng
land reserve to 54O6 per cent to liza
bility gave a strong impression of the
effectiveness of the recuperation OF
that institution. Foreign financla
markets seemed somewhat depressed,
today, however, with the political COM
plexion threatened by the rejection
the British budget.
There was another engagement OF
gold made in New York for shipment
to South America, raising the total
outgo for the present banking week
on that account to $4.400,O00.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, $3,232,000.

ged On call.

THE VALUE OF PROPRIETARY
MEDICINES

is proven by the very large percen-
the same remedies found in every
drug store in. America, but as they are
written in Latin, few patients rea-
lie this fact
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, that have stood the
test of time, deserve a pace in every
family medicine chest, and it is most
certain they would not be prescribed
by physicians if they were able to de-
wise formula equally as efficacious

this novel leather became somewhat
fashionable and a considerable demand
developed. The market, however. was
not long continued. and after a few
thousand hides had been shipped from
the Gulf States the demand ended.
During the Civil War another raid
was made upon these saurians to sup
ply shoe material and they were again
slaughtered in thousands. but with the
cessation Of hostilities and the restor-
alton Of free commerce in shoe mate
rial the alligators were again left to
repose for period.
The rest. however, was only temper
airy, for about 1869 tickle fashion again
called for the leather for manufacture
ing into fancy slippers, boots. travelling
bags, belts, card cases. music rolls and
so forth. An immense demand was
soon created for It, resulting in the
slaughter Of many thousands Of the
animals every year. giving employment
to hundreds Of men. The demand soon
exhausted the productive capacity Of
this country and large numbers Of skins
were imported from Mexico and Cen
trail America.
The consumption OF this leather at
present is greater than ever before,
and owing to the large importations
the market price is somewhat less than
a few years ago. The output Of the
tanneries of the United States approx
mates 28O 600 skins annually. worth /
$4,000. 1t is a characteristic Of all

which makes it so popular for leather
purposes.
