STOCK TRADING
 UNDER RESTRAINT
Upward Tendency of Mar ket Offset by Offering of
 Constructive Shares

New York, May 15-The entire stock list, save for few noteworthy excep- tons, was under restrain today because of further liquidation in rails and trac- tions and increased concern respecting the Russian situation. In the main the tendency seemed upward, but the steady offerings of transportation shares and the acute weakness of utilities more than offset operations on the constructive side
 At their lowest level, St. Paul, Pacifics, coalers and some of the eastern lines registered losses of to ? points, with slight recovery in the later dealings. Among fractions Interborough preferred made an extreme decline of 47s points to 517s. Brooklyn Transit fell 21a to 56, and Third avenue IFS to ITS, the adjustment bonds of the latter company breaking 6 points to 3S, new minimum.
 Depression in the local issues was in- tensified by overnight statements of op- erating officials, in which attention was directed to the disadvantages under which those corporations are now labor ing, especially the greater cost of labor and materials
 United States Steel and kindred indus trials were temporarily affected by 1 to
 
 ing like reversals. In part these losses were retrieved toward the close Ship pings also were moderate pressure with motors and some of the inactive special ties. Sears Roebuck lost 31h points and General Chemical 15 points at 2O5 on a single sale.
 Industrial Alcohol was the outstanding feature on it's net rise of 25s points to l25Ss, the stock being in process of steady accumulation and ranking second in ac- tivity to United States Steel. Affiliated stocks like Distilers Securities and American Mating preferred were bet ter by to points. Oils, Superior Steel, Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Crucible Steel preferred were included among the other firm to strong specialtes. Total sales amounted to 435,000 shares.
 Now low prices for Russian government bonds on the curb or outside market caused a reaction in exchange rates on Petrograd. other European remittances showing slight iregularity.
 In the bond division international is- sues were unchanged, but domestic rails and utilities were variably lower Total sales aggregated $2,S400O0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 15.-(Special) )-Some profit taking by recent buyers in the west brought about reaction of % points from the high price touched yes- terday When the decline had been ar rested the local traders bought, with the market closing with a recovery of some IS points. No new feature has appeared. The weather shows improvement, while the inability to export is shown in the absence of exports TOT the cay SO that the total is now below last season to date. Traders expect continued support will be given prices on the belief that there will be no pressure to sell the remainder of the crop, even should the crop prospects become very favorable.

Ayery's Letter

The cotton market today was a disap- pointing affair." There is no snap to it. With nearly everything in their favor, the bulls seem obe able to do little more than hold the market.
 The fear of Russia making a separate peace and thereby further complicating political affairs abroad and prolonging the war. was construed bearishly on cot ton. Everything which normally would bull cotton, bad weather late start.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Princeton Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.

Danger Signal No. comes from
kidney secretions. They will warn you
when the kidneys are weak. Well
kidneys excrete clear, amber fluid.
Weak kidneys send out a thin, pale
and foamy, or thick, red, ill-smelling
urine, full of sediment and irregular
of passage.
Danger Signal No. 2 comes from the
back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or
sharp and acute, suggest weak kid
neys and warn you Of danger Of
dropsy, gravel and Bright's disease.
In that case Doan's kidney pills have
been endorsed by thousands. Here is
statement of a nearby resident:
A. V. Axtell, carpenter, Foley,
Minn, says: 81 suffered from a dull
backache and pains through my hips.
1t hurt me to bend, stoop or lift and
my back got lame and sore. The
trouble was worse when I caught cold
or did any hard work. Doan's Kidney
Pills fixed me up all right and gave me
freedom from all the pains and aches.'
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim.
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Rndicules Poisoned Plaster Story.

'sThe idea that German agents are
spreading tetanus and typhoid by
means Of poisoned court plaster is too
silly to be seriously considered for
minute; it's too asinine and stupid for
any German. Any of their agents
worthy Of the name would know a
thousand more effective methods of
scattering disease and spreading ter
ror"
Thus did a high official of one Of the
greatest drug and chemical manufac-
turing concerns in the country (John-
son & Johnson) puncture the latest
bit of hysteria the American people
have been experiencing. A statement
emanating from the New York State
! Defense council at Albany recommend
ing the discontinuance Of the use Of
, court plaster and associating the an
nouncement with the German plot
alarm had brought about the interview
with the drug expert.
''In the first place court plaster
harkens back to the bygone days Of
celluloid collars and pointed shoes" ="
the chemist continued. cts out Of
style, old fashioned and the whole busi-
ness is slowly dying. Today no rep
utable physician or surgeon uses court
plaster, but rather the rubber adhesive
plaster. It may be all right for beauty
spots, but as practical surgical agent
it's a thing of the past.
"And yet, according to the latest
spy theory, it's to this ancient, feeble,
