FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. September 25.-The stock
exchange has been moderately active
during the week, with cheerfuness in
certain sections. and generally irregular
price movements. The commencement OF
the autumn gold outflow and a possible
American demand for gold in the near
future has FASTENED the discount rates.
and made a gilt-edged market somewhat
uneasy regarding the continuance OF
cheap money. the result being a gradual
sagg1ng tendency under realizations in
that section. Consols lost half a point
on the week. fears regarding the budget
and the approaching political crisis help
ing the downward movement in these, as
we'll as home rails.
Speculation seems to be revising in the
kaffir section, Rhodesians comma nding

finished comparatively weak in sympathy
with Americans. The feature of the
week was the strength and activity
shown by rubber shares and diamond
reports issued that there was gradually

trade
Americans were much less excited. with
smaller business which was confined to
the large houses. The week opened strong
gradually dropped. The impression that
President Tafts speeches have a flavor
of the big stick policy, and the fear
that dearer money in New York will start
a selling movement, have caused gradual
realizations here. and despite occasional
Wall street buying the market finished
uncertain generally.
Bullion amounting to G5SO,00 was

Views on the Market.

]. S. Bache & Co.: 1.-The market appears
to be marking time. Any change in the
general situation of business Is for the
better, with outlook for continuation and
increase. The prospect is for year of
largest volume and increased earning
power. No conflict among the important
leaders. either financial or railroad, ap-
pears in sight, and this condition of har-
mony is prophetic of an attainment of
the greatest results. Reliance upon
great crop, with the exception of cotton,
now becomes one of the completed factors
in rounding out the years prosperity.
The financing Of harvest needs is going
on without tension, and the outlook is
for healthy continuation of the tirmness
without strain. The security market. not
withstanding it's irregularity. seems to re-
fleet all these favorable conditions and at
present there is nothing In sight which
could be reasonably turned into a cause
for severe reaction. Until the return of
moneys from the west the market will
probably continue irregular, with trading
fluctuations"
Carpenter, Baggott & Co.: "The public
is now becoming convinced that the coun-
try has started upon what President Taft
says is a long period of prosperity.'
Such a period means increased earnings
creased revenue for virtually all business
concerns Under such circumstances a
high range of stock values must be ex-
pected. Large and powerful interests are
holders of the majority Of securities, and
it looks now as II the public would have
to pay for them If they desire to buy very
many"

funk rule when it comes to turning out
athletic teams than any other of the local
institutions. 1t always seems that the

base ball nine suffered the loss of five of
its best men via this route last spring,

HOME COUGH CURE.

Go to your druggist and get one-half
ounce Concentrated pine compound,
two ounces Of glycerine, half a pint of
good whiskey; mix it up, and use it
in doses Of teaspoonful to a table
spoonful every four hours, shaking the
bottle each time. Any druggist can
supply ingredients.
The Concentrated pine is pine prod.

only in half ounce bottles, each en-
closed in round case which is air
tight and preserves the fluid in it's full

wonders.
