Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat OF the
trouble. Dr.. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it, You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle OF your druggist,
who will return the price if you

New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania Announce Excellent
Earnings for December.
By THOMAS c. sHOTwELL.

New York, Feb. 2-After early strength
to-day. the stock market became dull,
and in the late trading was almost heavy.
Steel, Union Pacific. and Reading were
the active issues. Early strength was
due very largely to the excellent earnings
for December announced by the New
York Central lines and the Pennsylvania.
Much importance was attached to the re-
ports from Washington that the proposed
inquiry into the money trust would be
postponed In fact II was this report
that started the excited covering move
ment the previous day, when raid was
in progress.
1t Is not believed by the banking ira
ternity that It viii be possible to prevent
a money trust investigation entirely SO
many Congressman are pledged to make
II that il is not believed they VIII take
the chance of being discredited in the
eyes OF their constituents. however much
they may realize the dangers OF what
they propose TO do The fact that Presi-
dent Stillwell, OF the Kansas City, Mex
leo and Orient Railroad. stands ready to
furnish what he believes TO be PROOF OF
the existence of a money trust mas en-
barrassed those Congressman who ap-
parently hoped it would be difticult 10
get witnesses.
The advance IN Reading, winch DrouBht
the stock about to its previous high rec
ord for the year, naturally resulted IN
rumors of an Increased dividend There
was no official warrant for such rumors.
The heavy business done by the coal
roads in Transporting anthracite TO mar
ket probably accounts for the strength
Of the stock without any extra payment.
Stock brokers, in reviewing their ousi-
ness for January, now find that the pub
lie has taken very few stocks, but
great many bonds. and that most OF the
bonds taken have been through banking
institutions. The savings banks nave
finally come into the market for bonds
The popular idea is that savings banks
begin buying Immediately after January
10 because deposits made up to that DAY
larry interest the same as though made
at the first OF the year. The banks have
waited IN the hope OF getting some re-
action in the bond market, but appar-
er tIy have abandoned that hope. Some
oi the large insurance copanies are also
buying bonds.

rIaced by the railroads, among them De-
