 HAIR COMING OUT?

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita- ton of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour little in your hand and rub it into the scalp. After a few applications the hair stops coming out and you can't find any dandruff.

The PROGRESS is very glad to have

BY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-In further disregard of conditions which ordi- narily make speculative restraint, such as the poor crop outlook. anoth- CT large contraction in local bank re- sources and the spread of labor trou- bles, the week in the stock market op- ened with a continuation of bullish activity which resulted in numerous substantial gains and few new high records.
 Trading was again so large and di- versified as to leave little doubt of public participation. The total of l. 100000 shares was made up chiefly of United States Steel and affiliated in dustrials. metals and the shipping is sues. with a liberal sprinkling of mu- nitions and equipments. U. $. Steel repeated it's familiar performance of scoring new maximum on it's gross gain of 19s points to 104%.
 Among the high priced specialties Bethlehem Steel was distinguished for it's rise of 13 to 503. Colorado Flu el and Railway Steel Springs and Am erican Car were higher by two to five points.
 Mexicans, the coppers and zinc is sues, U. s. Industrial Alcohol and the paper group augmented last weeks gains in irregular degree and various minor stocks of any distinctive char acter were higher by one to two points. Reading was the sole feature of the rails, fiuctuating within a radi- us of 215 points and closing at net loss of a point at 11O15. Other rails were stronger in the final hour but in the main that division was backward. Irregular but minor changes prevailed in the bond market Total sales, par value, aggregated s1,97O,OOO. U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Announcement of a falling of in the United States visible supply had good deal to do today with strengthening the wheat market, and so too. did word of big export sales of United States wheat Prices closed unsettled but $ to 11sc net higher, with December 1.54 and May 1551s Other leading staples all showed declines-corn one cent to 1%c Oats 5s a q cents, and provis- ions seven to sixty cents.
 At first the wheat market failed to hold up-turns in prices. Cautiousness on the part of the bears was decidedly evident for time. influenced to some extent by the surrender of the Ru- manian fortress of Silistria to the Bulgarians. Lightness of world ship ments counted further against the bears and there were reports besides of a decrease in the total stock. Shorts in wheat rushed to cover when the United States visible was issued showing a decrease of 690.0G0 bushels from the scanty surplus and was fol- lowed by advices of 9 decrease of 2.- 3S2,0Oo bushels in Canada. Again as was the case early, the pit was virtu- ally bare of offerings and prices ad- vanced rapidly. but the furry seemed about at an end before the final gong.
 Corn gave way mainly in conse- quence of withdrawal of reports of crop improvement in Illinois. Oats sagged with corn.
