REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
End of the Week Displays
Dulness and Sagging
Tendency.

Very little in the consensus OF IN
formation having bearing on wan
Street interests was made public yes
terday to encourage better tone IN
the stock market. 1t was evident that
brokers generally expected no deVeiop-
ments favorable to Improvement, as
the attendance was very light among
the commission houses, and on the
floor the interest was also slight
Opening prices displayed dulness, win
small fractional declines in such issues
as United States Steel, Reading and
Union Pacific. but Amalgamated Cop
per showed an initial gain of Is, in
sympathy with an advance OF a IN
Nevada Consolidated, as a result OF
the declaration of an extra dividend
on the latter.
During the first hour prices dritted,
with apparently no special trend, ana
the traders occupied themselves with
attempting to draw some favorable de-
auctions from the address delivered by
Samuel Untermyer at Springfield,
Mass, and the offer of Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo TO provide additional
relief through the medium of govern
ment funds should there be an APP
parent necessity. In view of the trade
reports of the week the impression was
general in Wall Street that more bust
ness would be essentially helpful to the
country's welfare just now rather than
additional Treasury funds. The bank
exchanges. covering the entire country,
in their reported contraction, showing
a reduction of go per cent during the
week, told the story Of reduced volume
of business and failed TO stimulate OPP
timism.
One of the bright sides of the news
of the day was the reported termina-
ton Of strikes in the Lawrence textile
mills and the General Electric Com
pany, at Schenectady.
The prospect of an unfavorable bank
statement which would be made pub
lie after the close Of the market was
not inspiring, taken in connection with
the advance of call money rates on
Friday and the heavy requirements Of
funds for the month end. The closing
prices of stocks, while showing pro-
nounced weakness in some Of the spe
Gals, such as b. f. Goodrich and
American Can preferred, seemed to
disclose comparative firmness in the
standard issues, as declines in that
class of securities were fractional, and
in United States Steel which led the
list in point Of activity, there was no
change. The week ended as it began,
in a state of dulness and uncertainty.

All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood cir
CuIatiOn a good daily bath. This is
accomplished with S, S. S, the best
known and most highly recommended
blood purifier ever discovered. Its
action is very rapid. It's vegetable
nature is such that it naturally goes
right into the blood, saturates the
entire circulation bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the
skin TO heal quickly. The action of
S S. S. is that of an antidote, and
this fact has been demonstrated time
and time again in the most severe
forms of weeping eczema.
It's influence in the tissues where
the tiny arteries transfer the red
blood for the worn out blood to the
veins is quite remarkable and goes on
constantly with every tick of the
cIock-the beat of the heart
And new skin is thus caused to form
while the germs of irritating inf1u-
ences that cause eczema are scattered
and their harmful nature entirely sus-
pended.
S. S. S. has a wonderful tonic in
1uence in the blood because it con-
Iains no dope" is not ''physic," is
entirely free of any mineral drugs or
any other drugs except the remark
able medicinal effect of the pure vege-
liable products of which it is made.
Few people realize how harmful are
many of the strong, crude ointments
that used to be in favor before they
learned that S. S. S. is safe, speedy
and sure. Ask at any drug store for
a bottle of S. S. S. Give it a good
trial and you will soon see a decided
Improvement in any form of skin
trouble. Write to The Swift Specific
Co, 1877 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga, for
special free advice on eczema and any
other form of skin or blood trouble.

circuit court, has decided in favor of
partition suit in the case of Anna
Edmond Greeney VS.. John :. Greeney
and other relatives. According TO the
decision the Greeney home near Able
man must be sold subject to the life
Interest of Mrs. Mary j. Greeney, who
resides on the old homestead. The
suit is the result of a divorce action
between Charles Greeney and his wife,
the wife suing for his interest in the
estate. If the farm is sold, as the court
has decided it can be, the purchaser
buys with the understanding that the
mother of Charles Greeney can remain
on the old homestead as long as she
lives. John S. Greeney and the other
relatives opposed the step taken by
Mrs. Charles Greeney, but the court
decides she has right to order the
sale in order to procure the amount
due her as fixed at the time of the
divorce action.
Concerning the narrow escape Ban
ker Won Berg of Merrimack had while
driving his automobile through Gale
donia, the Portage Democrat says: The
wild grape vine OF Caledonia, hitherto
treasured chiefly for its fruit juice and
the beautiful splashes of color it
spreads on the hiIlsides in autumn,
now figures as allife saver. A Merri-
mack motorist, missing bridge over
the BaraboO river when his car went
wild because he threw his helm hard
a-port instead of TO star-board, shot
the whole works-auto, family and
alI-into mesh of vines to a con-
venient elm. 1t was like jumping
into a fire escape net, landing soft and
easy, and it prevented perhaps fatal
plunge into the stream. Concerning the
rapid increase in the number of autos
and mex pe1ienced drivers, why not
combine the esthetic with the utilitar-
ian and humanitarian by planting
| tenders of wild grape vines at every
bridge approach? That is, if this bit
of progressivism wouldn't entail the
creation of one more state commission.
