MARKET MOVEMENTS
Of THE DAY

New York. Nov. 19.-There were
conflicting influences at work in the
stock market today which gave it an
appearance OF irregularity. The I'M
favorable influence was doubt
about the character of tomorrow's
bank statement.
In favor of higher prices was the
renewal of the rumors of the prog
ress of the plan for consolidation Of
the copper producing corporations
and assumptions growing out of the
Wells Fargo melon cutting on other
bonuses. The latter influences was
perceptibie in the wide advances on
light dealings of a number of high
priced investment stocks known to
have large surplus holdings in their
atreasuries. as well as others credited
with concealed assets which do not
figure i'm balance sheets.
In the case of the copper stocks the
advance with which they started
brought some realizing sales that
turned the price downwards again
and resulted in considerable unsettl-
ing of the market. The same was true
Of Union Pacific.
Doubts over the complexion of the
bank statement was due to uncer-
tainty over the after effects of last

We Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.


We are so positive that we can
cure" constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
If we fail.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction
irritate and weaken the bowels and
make constipation more chronic. Be-
sides, their use becomes habit that
is dangerous and often fatal. %
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect cure you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
those organs and restore them to
healthier activity.
The discovery of the active pri-
ciple of our remedy evolved the labor
of the worlds greatest research

qualities of the remedial active prin-
ciple of the best known intestinal
tonics. and it is particularly prompt

ceedingly pleasant to take and are
