FINANCE And REALTY

Washington Railway and Electric CON-
mon was firm at 49 IA on the local stock
exchange yesterday, but the bullish ten
dency which has forced the stock from
46 1-2 to that figure was missing, sup
plemented by paucity of sales in the
leading issues. The near approach of
Christmas is advanced by brokers as
cause sufficient for the inaction, and,
with the resumption OF normal market
conditions after January 1, predictions
are freely made that both Gas and Rail-
way common will seek still higher levels.
In some quarters the almost sensational
advance of Railway common has been at
trtbuted to price manipulation through
artificial buying pressure, but this opin-
Ion is not general and the majority OF
those interested in the movements of the
local list of securities declare that the
rise has been due to natural causes;
that both Gas and Railway stocks are
good properties, and that the unusual
buying power has been the result of a
steady demand for the securities.
Sales were slow in yesterdays market.
Capital Traction scrip was quoted at
l0 is, with Anacostia and Potomac
guaranteed IS. with face value of $1,000,
at I0l. Columbia Railway 5s and 6s
brought 1O1 and I03, respectively. Only
fifty shares of Railway common changed
hands, in lots of twenty-five shares, with
the price at ~ 3-S and 80 L.
Washington Gas was firm at IS in two
25-share transactions. Washington Vir-
ginia Railway showed sporadic activity,
the common stock firm at 46 3-S, with the
preferred at s.. United States Trust was

TO GET RID OF
RHEUMA TLSM

II we suffer with Rheumatism and
desire to get nd of it we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
20 the proper course Of treatment for
a while. The only way to cure
oneself Of Rheumatism is to remove
the cause-expel the irritating uric
acid from the blood every other
method Of treatment has proved a
failure. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because It is the greatest Of all blood
purifiers. This medicine gees down
into the circulation and expels every
particle of the sour, infammatory
uric acid which is the one great cause
of the disease. The cure can be
greatly fastened by a little care and
self denial by the patient. In the
first place do not let anything Il ter
fere to prevent your taking S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions;
be guarded in your eating, because
an attack Of indigestion viii always
aggravate the symptoms of Rheuma-
tisn. Do not expose yourself to
damp and Indictment weather any
more than is necessary. When S. s. S.
has had time to rid the blood of the
uric acid and strengthen the system,
then these little restrictions can be
left of. This simple course has cured
many thousands of cases Of Rheuma-
tism Book on Rheumatism and any
medical advice free. S. S. s. is sold
at drug stores.
