NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Jan. 30.-An early break
In New Haven, forcing that stock
down four points to 40 IL, its lowest
record. was the most disconcerting
feature of today's hesitating market
The selling was accompanied by dis
turbing reports regarding the future
Of that property, but these were au-
thoritatively denied after which New
Haven and the balance of the list
made substantial recoveries.
At midday, prices again evinced an
easier tendency, with United States
Steel as the center Of attention. Wide
spread interest was manifested regard
ing the amount Of the extra dividend
for the final quarter Of last year and
the concurrent issuance Of the finan-
cial statement for that period neither
Of which became known until some
time after the markets close.
Meanwhile, Steel. on a turnover of
100000 shares, or about rs per cent. of
the days total operations, ffuctuated
between 113 IA and III SIS with net
gain of ga Of point at 113. The extra
dividend of / ga per cent. making a
total of ga in regular and extra div
idends for the past year was somewhat
under the expected. but earnings for
the quarter of almost s106, 600 900 were
in excess of the most extravagant es-
Inmates.
Aside from the diversion created by
New Haven and Steel, the market was
devoid of special features, although
low-priced rails were active mainly at
higher levels. particularly Southern
Railway which gained two points.
There were the usual mixed move
ments in specialtes, Burns Brothers,
Tor example, scoring an advance of
t IL points, with reversal of 4 points
for American Zinc preferred. Bethle-
hom Steel made an early gain Of s
points only to fall IA and closed at a
net less of eight points. Best prices

Employe Sustains Injuries.

The following copy Of letter from
the Surgical Dressings Committee,
Boston, tells it's own story:
Extract from Letter OF Mrs. G. K.
Austin
The wounds are so terrific that the
small pads are of very little use unless
the doctors use many at time, and
this is not really practical because the
pus oozes between them. l have been
asked for the larger size so many
times lately, and we have SO little
time for making quantity mere.
viii you think, wonder, that we are
always changing? 1t is not we, but
the conditions and the demands. You
can not send us too many vineyard
gauze packings. They. use these in en-
ormons quantities, and they are really
more useful than half yards. They are
not only used for packing but for
dressing stumps. Alas! there are SO
many. A friend of mine was at a
hospital just outside Paris a few days
ago. There he saw II men with both
legs and arms gone, and one OF them
blind. The wounds from the Somme
have some Of them been simply too
CHASTITY for description and the hospi-
tails are full to overlooking. When
will it ever end? ] wonder if you can
have the faintest idea of the things
we see I hardly think it possible.
And the men are so patient.
Boston has been more than generous
to the hospitals we supply. The ma
terial is perfect and we never have to
touch a thing. I hope you are able
to let all your workers and subcom-
mittees know how grateful we are.
Did l tell you in my last letter about
the pillows we are making for the
trains, at the request Of the Service de
Sante? We are able to get off ESQ
week, that is to say enough for one
train. We are just sending off our
fourth lot.
It Is such a comfort to feel that at
least that number Of poor fellows are
going to have a really soft and COM
Portable pillow to rest their heads
upon. We need heaps of the small
ones also, for they say it takes 10 or
70 Of the latter to make a badly
wounded man as comfortable as pos
sible for the transit. We are making
all we can Of these too. but we seemed
to be almost showed under with work,
for we have to remember the heavy
warm, chaussons which are to keep
their feet warm after their boots are
removed. We have to supply 800 pairs
Of these also for tubercular hospital
in the mountains where the men lie out
q doors all day. And so it goes. To-
day is one thing, tomorrow another.
Letter from Daniel F. Jones OF the
Harvard Unit
On September 26. we received the
following cases: 1060-1225, 1850, ETC.,
etc. It would seem that such a list
of cases would be sufficient to keep
the operating room supplied. but as
matter of fact, we have run short be-
fore each new lot arrived. With the
last lot, we shall be able to keep ahead
Of the demand for at least month.

lcnsity and regularity Of his pains.
The disease seems 10 take on added
'scvcrity al this season, and the little
pain demons run rampant in their
frenzied delight.
Why is it that so many people fall
victims 10 these diseases, while others
rscap" unframed? Isn't it-true that
everyone is equally exposed to attack?
This is very natural question, and
the answer is easily arrived at by a
little logical reasoning.
II is quite true that practically
everyone is equally exposed 20 the
dangers Of disease. You are just as
liable 10 be attacked as the man or
woman sitting next to you on the
street car. 1t all depends upon the
condition Of your blood supply.
If your blood is thin and imporcr-
ished and has been allowed to reach u
low state by the accumulation Of imi-
puritirs, YOU have not sufficient vital
ity to resist these germ attacks and
they find fertile field in your system
TO spread disease.
Your neighbor will easily resist the
identical attack because he believes in
prrcaution. and keeps his blood strong
