Mothers Friend
Before Baby Arrives

During several weeks of expectancy
there is a splendid external embrocation
IL our Mothers Friend" in which
thousands OF women have the most
unbounded confidence. They have used
1t and know. They tell of its wonderful
influence to ease the abdominal muscles
and how they avoided those dreaded
stretching pains that are so much talked
about This safe external application is
gently used over the skin to render It
amenable to the natural stretching which
It undergoes. The myriad of nerve
threads just beneath the skin Is thus
relieved OF unnecessary pain-producing
causes and great physical relief Is the
result as expressed by a host of happy
mothers who write from personal
experience.
1t is subject that all women should
be familiar with as Mothers FRIEND
has been in use many years, has been
given the most severe tests under most
all trying conditions and is recommended
by women who to-day are grandmothers
and who in their earlier years learned
to rely upon this splendid aid to women.
Mothers Friend is declared by q
multitude of women to be just what ez-
pectant motherhood requires.
You can obtain Mothers Friend" at
almost any drug store. Get a bottle
to-day and then write for our little book.

Poor ReturnS-Idle Money

The rise in securities that followed
more peaceful prospects in Mexico cul-
minated early last week and for few
days price movement in the stock mar
ket was almost at a standstill, with
the volume of trading greatly de-
creased. Toward the end Of the week,
however. trouble in Mexico seemed
more imminent, and securities were
weaker, but operations were largely
confined to those of professionals
Favorable influences, such as the gov
ernment's estimate of wonderfully
large crop of winter wheat, were dis
regarded, and news of depressing
character ruled market sentiment.
Business in bonds, while a little i'm
proved, was still small.
Trading for foreign account in this
market was insignificant. London was
occupied with the tremendous require
ments of the new budget laid before
Parliament, and Paris was unsettled
over a government loan 10 be deter

100000 notes maturing the first Of next
month declined 10 intervene. Esi-
mates of the requirements of the ROCK
Island system approached a point
where the different interests concerned
were expected TO come to some agree
ment.
Though the indicated yield OF rec
ord breaking harvest Of winter wheat
did not give any immediate stimulus TO
market operations. this country is still
so dependent on successful crops as
factor in its prosperity that gratifying
effects should be evident before the
YEAR closes. Government estimates or
conditions on April l had placed winter
wheat at the high point of 800 per
cent. and for May ] this was even bet
ter. at $50. With the indicated yield

pected should reach 630,O00,00O bushels.

Trade Still Quiet, but with Som,
Improvement Noted.

Fall River. Mass. May 1o.-Trade in
the print cloth markets was quiet last
week, though sales have been larger
than during the last two weeks. The
demand has been light and mostly for
spots or early deliveries. The lightness
of the demand has prevented any stiifen
ing.of prices. though most Of the manu-
facturers have stood out against the
further concessions that some of the
buyers have suggested.

tinues remarkably good. and makes all

The stock markets. of course, have been
adversely affected both by the home po-
litical situation and conditions in Mexico
and Brazil. ard have been in very de-
iected state Still. an optimistic view is
generally held. and it is believed that the
outlook will soon brighten. while as long
as trade holds up there will be but little
grumbling outside professional stock mar
ket operators.
An outstanding fact in the general stu
alton is the way Russia is taking gold
with the prospect that France will soon
become a very active bidder. Germany
has increased her gold reserve so greatly
within the last ten years that now, with
trade falling off. she is not so active in
this direction as formerly; but France
must soon come into the market in order
to keep pace with Russia and make up for
the lead gained already by Germany.
The Bank Of England has also been
showing for the last few weeks pretty
steady decline in gold and reserve, and It
may be found necessary to strengthen the
hanks holdings, in which case rates will
go up considerably, with all Europe after
the yellow metal.

The Railway Finance Bill.

In federal legislation, however, there
was less occasion for optimism. II was
announced that Congress would ad-
journ early in July, whether the Presi-
dents programme of legislation for
regulating business had been completed
or not. but this was followed by signs
of haste on the antitrust measures.
OF these. a bill introduced in the House
of Representative to control the issu-
ing of stock and bonds by railroads
was of greatest immediate market in
terest. With the present system, by
which almost every state through
which a railroad passes has right to
sneak concerning its financing, it was
felt that an assurance that the federal
authorities alone could decide on rail-
road securities would be a welcome re-
lief. As it is, however. the new act
would only place another hurdle in the
NAV of business. The commission
moves so slowly that railroad securi-
ties would have less opportunity Of
being put out to meet the market for
which they were planned.
The House bill, it is true, would allow
the flotation Of one-year notes, the
amount not TO exceed per cent or the
outstanding securities Of the issuing
road. This is a doubtful concession.
The difficulties into which such hand
to-mouth financing has led corpora
tions have been evident enough in the
current year.
Announcement Of the Presidents
choice for members of the Federal Re
serve Board met practically universal
appreciation. The judgment of the or
eanizers of the system, as shown in
their selection of reserve cities, has
been generally condemned, but the men
selected to be responsible for the actual
start Of the new banking scheme have
/ taken away a great measure OF the dis
trust with which it had come to be re-
/ earded. IL the final makeup OF the
hoard contains such men as those
originally named bankers viii feel
greatly relieved. Though organization
OF the system is being fastened state
| institutions here. satisfied with New
Works. new banking law, are showing
no inclination toward Joining.
In this city steps were taken toward
organizing an association Of bankers
interested in farm mortgages. The
federal reserve act will, it is expected
make great changes in this field OF In
vestment. and it is hoped through the
new association TO make such obliga-
tions safer and more popular. Among
the objects to be attained are modi-
dcation Of state laws discriminating
against mortgages in other states in
regard TO taxation and in regulations
for the investment of savings bank and
trust funds. In addition 1t is planned
70 check unwise legislation that would
make conditions more favorable for the
borrower at the expense of the staoil-
itv of the mortgages.
