Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infia med con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely. closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh )that cannot be cured by Halls

Sailing the Speculative Seas.

Much criticism was heard in broker
age houses yesterday of the sharp break
In International Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred, which at one time during the
session changed hands at 112, or S%
points under the previous closing. Early
in the day selling by the same big house
that sold Steel heavily before its big
break was accompanied by rumors that
cable had been received Thursday
night stating the deal was Off Empha-
sis was also placed on the fact that an
officer Of the company had said the cables
were so clogged with Government busi-
ness that the International Mercantile
Marine had been unable to receive addl-
tlonal details relative to the deal from
the British interests Following the re-
por. early in the day that brokers sup
posed to represent insiders were selling
the stock unofficial statements were OBJ
tanned that the transaction for the sale
Of the British tonnage to an English
syndicate had not changed. This was
followed by purchases of the stock which
caused a rally OF as points from the
low level OF the session and reduced the
net decline for the day to 5A points.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Irrespective Of the merits OF the So
callei peace stocks and the dement's OF
the war shares important commission
houses are looking forward to a trading
market In the immediate future In view
OF the fact that the money committee
continues to restrict borrowings by
brokers In the Wall Street district. Talk
is current that there probably will be
some relaxation on the part Of the money
committee. but action speaks louder than
words when the Initiative comes from
this committee, which has been the OBJ
ject OF much severe criticism behind the
closed doors OF brokerage houses. One
commission house whose utterances are
given more than passing cognisance In
speaking OF the probable character OF
transactions In the stock market In the
near future says: There will be no
easing in money conditions before Feb
ruary But the very Industrial stagna-
ton which so many deplore as an In
evitable consequence Of transition from
a war to a peace basis will so reduce
commercial loans as to increase the funds
available for collateral loans and make
unnecessary further money restrictions
unless things become overdone."
