ny BRoADAN WALL.

New York, July 30.-Although Wall
Street expected the q. s. Steel direc-
tors to declare the usual dividend to-
day. there was impatient selling Of
the stock all day. This Influenced
other issues with the result that In
the afternoon several active issues
were down as much as two points
from the high prices of the morning.
General Motors was heavy and with
good speculative reason, for It Is now
expected that the new stock will be
issued in exchange for Chevrolet in
less than 60 days. Decision in favor

enthusiastic as for some days. The
pro-Germans were circulating peace
talk and advising people to get ready
Tor victory slump In prices.
Small Talk Prevails.
Most Of the session was taken up
in small talk about particular stocks.
1t is known that some of the best
informed investors have sold out their
Saint Paul stock despairing of a
dividend on the preferred this year.
One operator OF Importance is short
of it But in spite OF that the stree,
was full of reports that a new pool
had been formed to advance the pre-
ferred to par and the common to 81.

short interest.
General Motors at 13s today was
Just 20 points under its high record
price OF last Friday. Premiums are
not being exacted on the stock.
Bell Stock sIumps.
American Telephone sold at 9l4
which is the lowest price touched
since the panic OF 1907.
Among specialties that showed vi
tality in the early part of the Sc Ssion
was Virginia Carolina Chemical and
Savage Arms as well as Hide and
Leather and Mexican Petroleum. The

looked like a serious attempt to cover
up good selling. Virginia Carolina

In addition to declaring the regu-
lar dividend of II per cent on Steel

the great corporation reported record

The total net earned amounted to

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morning most,
if not all, of your dandruf will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruf you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the. work.

Only two calls were made on the

PUT CREAM In NOSE
AND STOP CATARRH
Tells How To Open Clogged Nos
trils and End ad-Colds.

You feel fine in few moments.
Your cold in head or catarrh will be
gone. Your clogged nostrils will
open. The air passages of your head
will clear and you can breathe free
ly. No more dullness, headache; no
hawking, snuffling, mucous dis
charges or dryness; no struggling
for breath at night.
Tell your druggist you want
small bottle of Elys Cream Balm. APP
ply little of this fragrant, antiseptic
cream in your nostrils, let it pene
trate through every air passage of
the head; soothe and heal the swol-
len, inflamed mucous membrane, and
relief comes instantly.
1t is just what every cold and
catarrh sufferer needs. Don't stay
stuffed-up and miserable.
