The Markets
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. oct 3.-The stock market to-
day gave further evidence of passing out
of the hands of the narrow element OF
board room traders which has engroSSed
the dealings for many weeks past. In
stead of that there were signs of re-
entry of operators of larger resources and
of a broader scope in method. The APP
pearance on the tape Of blocks of 1000 To
1900 shares of United States Steel was
regarded as suggestive in this direction.
This development gave rise to busy con-
lecture over the personality thug indirect
| ly disclosed in the dealings. The effect
was to renew the congestion of the deal
ings in 4 handful of speculative favorite
and to throw out the balance of the mar
ket again. The early part of the day saw
a continuance of favor for speciatieS and
securities of a minor class or which are
not often active in the market. The APP
pearaucc of growing breadth which was
Il feature on this account of last week 5
market was altered as the day progress
ed and the concentration in United state
Steel, Reading apd Union Pacific became
| more pronounced. Prices We're not well
held in the latter part of the day and the
closing was rather weak.
The board room traders expressed their
| SoliCitude over the Saturday bank state
ment by selling stocks after the opening.
These offerings We're SO ag2reSSlVeiy alb
sorhed that the traders were driven to
retreat and they helped the advance by
rc-huying stocks. The first quotation foE
| call loans was at y per cent, and the
quoted any apprehension that was caused
| nv the $5.MD,000 figure to which the actual
surplus had sunk in the Saturday bank
statement, 1t was evident that the heavy
decline in cash holdings last week was at
tlibited to temporary causes and that
confidence was felt in an early return
of part of that cash. The New York mon
ey market usually responds more slowly
to the passing Of periodical settlements
than foreign markets.
The London stock market was strength
cned by the assumption that the labor
trouble with the Manchester SpinnerS was
settled. The refusal OF terms was report
ed later ana acted as a check on the rS-
ing tendency here, The early news from
Manchester stimulated an active demand
for cotton i'll New York and the govern
ment report of condition of the crop
sharpencd the demand still further This
was a factor in the easier tone of the
foreign exchange market. The diSappoint-
ing showing of the government report did
not preclude stocks of railroads in the
|SOuthern region from sharing fully in the
upward movement Of the day. The indi-
Gated restriction of the years cotton
yield considered in connection with the
small supplies carried over from the last
crop. present a problem that cannot but
have serious bearing on general industrial
outlook
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
81 10000 United States bonds were I'M
changed on call.

Brings Counter Claim Against NeIs
Warner for Room Rent, Borrow
ed Money and Other
Items.
CASE is A QUEER ONE
Judgment to Have Been Passed This
Morning at 1o:ao But Ended In
Session in Attorneys
Office.

Attorneys on both sides were drift
ing hopelessly amidst much babbling
at sea this morning in the check mat
ter, presenting both Henry Sanders
and Nels Warner as the principals.
Sanders has now brought counter
claim against Warner for $3.50, which
he sets forth in legal document, is
due him for room rent, storage and
money not returned. Warner, Sand
ers says, rented two rooms of him.
For what purpose, the attorney for
Warner declined to let the court hear
at the confab between the defendant
and aggressive side yesterday after
noon in the superior court room.
Should evidence be obtained proving
that rooms rented by Warner for il
legal pursuits, the counterclaim
brought by the hotel proprietor will
be not valid, 1t is claimed.
Before leaving for Fl. Madison and
other points last Saturday afternoon
at two o'clock, Attorney 7. A. Craig.
who is acting in behalf of Heny Sand
ers, filed pleading, setting forth
that Warmers claim for $3.50 from the
hotel keeper, did not set forth fully
what the amount asked for represent
ed in the matter of itemized account.
The attorney for Warner filed a plead
ing in answer to this statement in
answer to attorney Craig.s admitting
what had been set forth in the Sand
er's pleading.
Sanders was on the stand yesterday
afternoon, and the affair wound uI

A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most skep.
tical Of Its Truth.

If there is the slightest doubt in
the minds of any that Dandruff germs
do not exist, their belief is compell-
ed by the fact that a rabbit innoculat-
ed with the germs became bald in
six weeks time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness is the destruction of the
germ which act is successfully ac-
complished in one hundred per cent
OF cases by the application of New.

Dandruff is caused by the same
germ which causes badness and can
be prevented with the same remedy

Something New For
Coughs.
Make it Yourself.

Until the discovery OF the Won
derful new drug product, mentho-
laxene, everybody had to rely on
ordinary cough mixtures. usually
composed of morphine, opium and
the like; but now the most efrec-
tive and popular cough syrup is
made at home with essence men
tho-laxene. Here Is the formula:
Essence mentho-laxene ~ ozs.
Granulated sugar syrup. ..1Sls ozs.
Buy of your druggist. or have
him order 1t from the wholesaler.
two and one-half ounces OF es-
sence mentho-laxene: empty 1T into
pint bottle and fill up the bottle
with granulated sugar syrup. To
make the syrup. use a p,nt OF
sugar and half pint of boiling
water, stir it. let cool and mix II
with the mentho-laxene.
This makes a fine curative iaSa-
tive cough syrup superior to any :,
thing you can buy at four times
the prices. Take in teaspoonful (
doses s to 10 times daily. 1t loos-
ems the highest cough in an hour
and is fine for old people and for
children for they like to take 1t,
and by it's tonic, cleansing healing
and laxative properties 1T prevents
pneumonia, lung fever and other
compiled lions of colds.
There is nc case too bad for 1t

FARE AT HARVARD IN 1850
Breakfast at Daybreak and Boiled
Dinner Two Days in the
Week.

The students lodged in the dormi
food then partaken of with thankful
ness would now be looked upon as
prison fare. At breakfast, which was
served at sunrise in summer and at
daybreak in winter, there were doled
out to each student a small can of I'M
settled coffee, size of biscuit, and
size of butter, weighing generally
about an ounce. Dinner was the sta
pie meal, and at this each student
was RECALLED with pound of meat,
Two days in the week, Monday and
Thursday, the meat was boiled, and,
in college language, these were known
as boiling days On the remaining
days the meat was roasted, and to
them the nickname of roasting days
was fastened. With the flesh went al
ways two potatoes. When boiling
days came round, pudding and cab
bage, wild peas and dandelions were
added
The only delicacy to which no stint
was applied was the cider beverage
then fast supplanting the small beer
of the colonial days. This was
brought to the mess in pewter cans
which we're passed from mouth to
mouth, and, when emptied, were again
replenished. For supper there was a
bowl of milk and size of bread.
The hungry Oliver who wished for
more was forced to order, or. as the
phrase went, seize it." from the

People of the United States.
