SUSPICION IS AROUSED General Market Falls to Respond and Hesitating Tone of Prices Continues to Last Money Is Firmer. NEW TORK, Oct. 18. There appeared to be aome conflict of purpoaa between at Ieaat two of the atrong parties In th.e speculation today, although tbelr operation tended to eom mutual advantage. In one case, tha aupport of prleea against pressure, without any attempt to bring abont any advance, seemed to meet the desired object. In the other case, there waa an aggreasive mark ing up of prices, which aeemed dealgned to Invite a public following in the market. Th lifting procesa waa almost wholly con fined to groupa of low-priced railroad and industrial atocka. in many of which there are important or dominant holdings by identical Interest The ronor railroads brought Into this movement are believed to be held, in a large proportion of their total capital, by the controlling Internet or by organized stock market pool for th purpose of con trolling their disposition In the market Wide price movement are thua made easy of accomplishment with a small amount of stocks actually changing hands. If is thla facility of manipulation which laya open to suspicion the movement In auch stocks, especially when the concert or movement finds no other explanation than the common ownership or property Inter est, without an explanation In developments affecting' th properties. Such was the effect of the action of these stocks today. Their etartlng upward served aa a check rather than a stimulation to a show of strength In the general mar ket. The usual leaders of the market ehowed resistance to reaction, but' aeemed to balk at attempts for an active demand. The attitude of reaerve thua Indicated toward present active speculation was ascribed to a remnant of apprehension re garding the political outlook In Europe, to sums contraction in money market sup pllea and to a purpoaa to await th passage of the coming election. The lower range of prices In Ixmdon. which were encountered when the local market opened, had an effect of admonition ahowlng the dominant fears of the situa tion felt there. The hesitating tone of atocka persisted throughout. Bonds were Irregular. Toal sales par value. 13.8.10.000. United Btatea 'bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. , Salea. High. Low.

LAST PRICES ARE LOWEST Heary Selling by Iong Holders on the Bulge Soon After Opening. Com 'and Oats. Are Much Lower. CHICAGO, Oct. IS. An unexpected allow of strength at Liverpool, where prices were fractionally higher, despite the closing weakness here yesterday, furnis.ied the mo tive for a strong opening in the local mar ket. Initial quotations showed gains of hi&So to He, compared with the previous close. With offerings scanty, buying by shorts caused prices to advance briskly In the flrsf few mlnutees of trade. Some of the big holders apparently were on the lookout for Just such a bulge and availed themselves of the opportunity to secure profits which the upturn afforded. Receipts in the Northwest continued heavy and sales of cash grain today at Minneapolis were not so heavy. 7" here was a fair demand for cash whoat here at about yesterday's premiums. Export demand was slack both here and at the seaboard. An Increase of 8.500,000 bushels in the world's vislbUi sup ply for the week, compared with .n in crease of 2,000.000 bushels for tho cor responding week a year ago. was a bearish factor in the late trading.

New corn for November delivery was offered here today In considerable quantity. The mar ket closed woak with prices He to lower than yesterday's close with December at Oats were weak the entire day.

Now, this gingering is for the purpose of better results. It Is generally ap plied upon the appearance of the first symptoms of deterioration in service. Gingering the liver is to keep that important part of the human machine from getting clogged and impairing the health. When the liver gets clogged and doesn't work right, the proprietor of that liver suffers. Bil iousness, sour stomach, indigestion, jaundice, coated tongue, bowel troubles, constipation, sick headache, are some of the things from which a disordered liver makes its owner suffer. Ginger ing the liver prevents these troubles, removes them when they catch one un aware. Lane s Pills will ginger up the liver. They never pain, never gripe, never leave any bad effects, are safe for delicate women and children, and one i a dose. Compounded by Chas. E Lane & Co., Chemists, St Louis. Mo.
