The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation Of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO much faith in
its curative powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

MARKET
KEPT keyed UP
Financial Outlook Develop
mentS Result in Suspicion
and WatChfuIneSS.

New York, Aug. 15.-The developments
bearing on the financial outlook were Of
sufficient Importance last week to keep
the stock market in a state Of constant
suspicion and watChfUlness. The freedom
with which this suspicion was acted on
in the way Of selling stocks short, only
to be compelled to buy them in at higher
prices accounted for part of the recurrent
strength Of the whole market
The skepticism manifested by the profess
siOnal operators in the market was not
due to any unsatisfactory news affecting
values, but solely to the technical posi-
ton. The present level of prices, while
still somewhat below the averages for the
picked active stocks touched in 1905, is
held to represent a higher absolute range
than ever before reached.
One ground for the opposition of the ha-
bituai traders to the advance is the num-
Der Of important happenings which have
come to pass after having long served
their purpose as factors in the speCUla-
ton. 1t was this element which attacked
the market when the tariff bill was
passed, arguing it was not possible for
results following the bill TO be brighter
than spectators expected while buying
stocks. The same procedure was followed
after the publication OF the government
crop report.
While there was some mOmentary dis
appointment over the sharp deterioration
in the condition of the corn crop, the
government corn report. on mature con-
sideratiOn. served to clinch the argument
that agricultural prosperity was assured
for the season
