NEW YORK BANK STOCKS
 UP 14 PERCENT IN 1892
Middle of June Saw What Bankers Unanimously Agree Was the End of the Great Bear
 Market of the 193O's.

and between that date and SeDtem- ber 7the "American Banker" aver ages had advanced exactly 100 per cent. An intermediate decline then
 get in. caused largely by the war debts uncertainty, and there was q loss of 27 per cent of the ad- vance. On December 19 the bank stock averages were approproxi- mateIy 73 per cent. above the July lows, 3.G per cent. below the March high and about 14 per cent. above the prices of January 2, 1892. Noth- Ing would seem to be more certain than that the advance which was beginning to get under way last spring. and was interrupted by the financial panic, will be resumed now that the period of banking un- certainty is oyer.
 Important bankers believe that the middle of June will prove to have been the historic date of the end of tho great Bear market Of the 1030's. The run" on the United States was met by the New
 York banks, which bore the brunt of the attack. and in June 1t was broken. In July tho return flow of gold had begun and has continued, with verying intensity. since then until today our mone- tary gold stock is back where 1t was before the outflow started. The outward flow last spring caused the greatest financial panic in our history; bank stock prices fell to all-time lows; the importance of tho return flow should not there- fore be mlnimfzcd. If the New York banking structure proved itself impregnablc last spring. 1t is doubly 50 now. The credit struc- ture is proportionately strengthen ed and greater confidence has de- vcloped.

New York, Dec 23--Ncw York City bank stocks, on tho average, arc now 14 per cent. higher than on January 2, 1882, banking statis- ties show in Il review of the bank stock market of 1882. Between January z and Mapch Q there was an advancing bank stock market. The "American Banker" index for IF stocks moved up from 38.G to 15.G--1 gain of 1S.l per cent; in the same period the Dow-Jones averages moved up 14 per cent. The run" on the United States by certain European countries then started, and between March and June our monetary gold stock de- clincd from $4,390 millions to $3.- 913 millions. CofncidcDt with this run" on our gold supply there was an abroupt decline in the market. Between March and the nll- timc-record low of May 3l there was drop of 47.5 per cent. in the bank stock averages; the low for the lndustrials was on July when the averages were down 53 per cent from March levels.
 Beginning, July c there was re- covcry in thc bank stock marke.

Cut This Out
Preparation for Catarrh and
Head Noises.

If you know someone who is troubled
with catarrhal deafness or head noises
due to catarrh cut out this paragraph,
and hand it to them, and you may have
been the means of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
We believe that catarrh, catarrhal
deafness and head noises are caused by
constitutional disease, and that salves,
sprays and inhalers merely temporize
with the complaint. and Seldom If ever
give permanent relief. This being so.
much time has been spent in perfectinp
a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic, that
should quickly dispel all traces of the
catarrhal poison from the system. The
effective prescription which was eventu-
ally formulated. is given below in an
understandable form. so that any one
can use 1t in their own home at little
expense.
Secure from Hooks or your druggist
one ounce of Parmint Double Strength.
Take this home and add TO 1t Il pint
Of hot water and little graduated
sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day.
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises. head
aches, dullness, cloudy thinking, ETC.,
while the hearing should rapidly return
as the system is invigorated by the
tonic action of the treatment. Loss of
smell is a symptom that shows the
presence of catarrhal poison and which
is often overcome by this treatment. If
nearly ninety per cent of all ear trou-
bles are directly caused by catarrh
there must be many people whose hear
ing may be restored by this simple
home treatment.
Every person who Is troubled with
catarrhal deafness or head noises due
to catarrh should give this mixture a
