NEW YORK STOCK MARKET VIGOROUS COVEHIXG HELPED TIIE INDUSTRIALS AXD SPECIALTIES. kcWcck' Business Was Jfotatile -for Violent Movements In Differ ent Group of Stock. NEW YORK, March 3. The feature of the stock market was the disturbed con dition of mind manifested by 'the bears whose demands for stocks to c6ver short contracts worked some violent recoveries In the industrial and specialty department of .the market This influence was first evident in Tnlrd Avenue, which bounded up eight points on the belief that the financial assistance had been secured to rehabilitate the property. The short ac count in Sugar gave signs of being over extended, and after falling to near 95. the Quotation touched 1015 In the lata deal ings. A decline of Vaw sugars, thus wid ening the gap between the cost of raw end Tefined sugars, was an influence. The movement in these stocks had a sympa thetic influence upon other Industrials, and there were great recoveries from the open ing weakness during the first hour. A period of dullness and heaviness suc ceeded, while waiting for' the bank state ment, and upon the publication of that statement, the market displayed Increas ing animation and strength until the close, which was generally at the top, and net gains in nearly all stocks. Part of the buying was on the principle that when bad news is out a rally Is due. But the return was, in fact, not so weak as had been feared. Receipts of cash from the inte rior were larger than anticipated, and the loss in cash correspondingly less. Another loan expansion so formidable as $9,621,000 fc-as apparently viewed with complacency, as the feeling has grown up in Wall street that much of the recent loan expansion will find a quick return to the Tnoney market. So long as call loans are made at 22& per cent, there will be no acute alarm over the money market prospects. The stock market this week has been torn by the conflicting influences of vio lent contrary movements In different groups of stocks, affected by Individual cause. There have been sharp losses In the department of Industrials and so called specialties Including the stocks of corporations operating the New Tork pub lic utilities, and there have been notable gains In some railroad stocks based on large earnings reported. The strength of railroads has at times checked the fall of In the industrials, and at other times the sudden breaks in the Industrials have un settled the whole market, and have been a drag on the movement in the railroads. Neither the gains on the one hand, nor the losses on the other, have been fully maintained, and it is impossible to deter mine the dominant tendency of the mar ket nor to determine how far the apathy of the public demand for stocks would be changed if the market were relieved from the special disturbing influences. The principal disturbing element has been Third Avenue, which has sold over SO points lower than last Saturday's clos ing price, and very nearly 200 points lower than the high price of the corresponding period of last year. Such a development in a stock long closely held and regarded as a safe Investment security has an In evitable effect on other securities. There were old rivalries and animosities between the bold and powerful speculative inter ests, which the misfortunes on the stock afforded an opportunity to gratify. The long-standing conflict for centralized con trol of the New Tork public utilities was also Involved, not only in the movements of the group, but through sympathetic connections of other stocks. There has been furious speculation In the certificates of the Sugar Refining Com pany, based on ambiguous utterances of the president of the company that he would oppose the payment of dividends unless the company earned them. This riddle will not be solved for the public until after the directors have acted on the dividend next "Wednesday, when specula tors will be able to foot up their galn3 or their losses. The iron and steel stocks have also been a disturbing influence without any very clear explanation being given for the large selling of them. One current but not very plausible explana tion is that the earnings of these com panies are proving so large that effective competition Is invited and Is being organ ized. The reports of authorities in the trade, showing large consumers still halt ing over the making of future contracts for material, obviously with. the expecta tion that prices will go lower, seems a more rational explanation. These disturbing Influences have partly offset, but have not wholly prevented, the effect of the extraordinary earnings re ported by many of the great railroads for January. It has been, feared that the prices of material would so far extend the cost of operation and repairs on the railroads, their net earnings would fall to be benefited by the large Increase In the gross earnings. The statements pub lished during the week effectively refute this supposition. Even where the actual cost of operating has greatly increased, the ratio of operating expenses to gross Is so far reduced as to leave handsome In creases in net earnings. SL Paul Is an exception, owing, it is explained, to ex traordinary Improvements charged to ex penses. Taking the most striking exam ples, the great Pennsylvania system of lines directly operated east and west of Pittsburg gains in January 73 per cent in net earnings over last year; Atchison. .85 per cent; Reading. 93; Erie, 44; Wabash, 42, and Lehigh Valley. 143 per cent The balance of earnings, after deducting the month's proportion of fixed charges in creases over tenfold by the Cleveland. Cin cinnati. Chicago & St Louis Railroad, and 122 per cent by Burlington. Wall-street skepticism over the expla nation mat tnc recent enormous loan ex pansions by New Tork banks has been taken out to meet commercial demands, has been justified by the news develop ments of the week. Special transactions have become known which account for large loans, notably the anticipatory pay ment by the Central Pacific of a $3,000,000 note to the Government, the taking up by New Tork capitalists of a loan to a Rus sian railroad guaranteed by the Russian Governmont. said to amount to $25,000,000 and the proceeds of which are, by the - jterms of the loan, to be expended in this country, and large borrowings by Interior banks for the purchase of Government bonds, with a view of taking out addi tional note circulation under the provi sions of the new refunding law when it is enacted. It does not escape notice that even for February the national bank note circulation has been increased some $2 447 -4S5. The British successes in South Africa have resulted In buying of stocks in New Tork for London account, which, coupled with the urgent foreign demand for cotton at the high prices prevailing, has depressed ine rate ror sterling exchange so that gold imports are considered within measurable distance. These considerations must ex plain the comparative equanimity with which Wall street contemplates the rapid Inroads being made upon the surplus re serves of the clearing-house banks. The market for railroad bonds has shown decreased inactivity during the week, and the price movement has been Irregular. United States new 4s advanced V&. and the old 4s, new 43 1 per cent in the bid price. XEV YORK FIXAXCES. Weekly Bniik Statement Shows BIjr Increase in Loans. NEW TORK, March 3. The Financier says: A decrease of $C.037,000 In the surplus re serve of the clearing-house banks of New Tork for the current week has reduced the excess cash holdings to 513.G41.550, a shrinkage of more than $17,000,000 In one month. The feature of the statement Is the continued rise In loans. The Increase for the week In that Item has been $9. - 621,000. One month ago the total was $55,000,000 lower than now reported. Thli exceeds last year's record very largely, although the incentive which brought about the IKS expansion is lacking now. The explanation for the rapid Increase In loan commitments lies In the heavy volume of commercial business which the country 1b" doing. Lately there has ap peared another factor the absorption of Government bonds by banks and this ac counts in part for the continued addition to the loan item. The banks are still los ing cash to. the Treasury. The statement gives a decrease of $4,507,000 in specie $757,400 for the week. This is a little less than had been expected, as the Treas ury had drawn more than that during the week. The inference is that the banks gained rather than lost on interior ac- j count The increase of $3,050,400 In de posits was much below the average ex- j IansIon over the past few weeks, and . requirements for additional reserve were, I not as heavy as hap' been the case from i week to week since Che" beginning of Feb- i ruary. As it is, the lessened excess re serve for the past six days Is due almost SMALL TONNAGE SUPPLY BUT THltEB GRAIN SniPS Eff THE RIVER. TO FINISH.

Portland Firm's Baslne the Sub ject of Some Recular "LyinV A very small investment of fact brings wholesale returns of tho rankest kinds of fiction over in the windy cities of Puget Sound. The following press dis patch was sent out from Tacoma Thurs day: "Tacoma, March 1. The whaleback Inverness, which took on a big lot of flour for shipment to Port Arthur yes terday. Is the first ship of a regular line that Is to operate between Puget Sound and Siberian ports. The service for the present will be one ship every 40- days, but when the railroad across Siberia is completed, it Is proposed to have a ship on the Sound every 20 days." Here are the fact3 in the case: The Inverness was chartered by the Pacific Export Lumber Company, of this city, several months ago to load lumber and flour at Portland for Port Arthur, with tho option of loading on the Sound. The accident to the steamship Elm Branch delayed the arrival of that steamer at Portland so long that In order not to have both of the steamers in Portland at once the Inverness was diverted to tho Sound. The Pacific Export Lumber Company, of this city, has been dis patching steamships and sailing vessels from Portland for Siberia and the Orient for nearly three years, and during that time has occasionally, to prevent "bunch ing" of their fleet in this port diverted steamers to the Sound. At present the Arm is loading the Guernsey at Van couver, the Inverness at Tacoma and the Elm Branch at Portland. Portland is the headquarters of the firm, and from this city the greater number of their vessels are dispatched, although they have never maintained a regular line. The Elm Branch, now loading In this city, will carry a larger cargo of flour and ltfmber than the Inverness, but she Is neither the first, last nor In termediate steamer of a regular line. Aberdeen.

It Is a wonderful and weird sight to look at one of your friends through this great ma chine.

Some suffer most directly after eating, bloating from gas In stomach and bowels, others have heartburn or sour risingc. still others have palpitation of heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades, some have ex treme nervousness, as in nervous dys pepsia. But whatever the symptoms may be, the causo in all cases of Indigestion is the same, that is, tho stomach for some rea son fails to properly and promptly digest what is eaten. This Is the whole story of stomach troubles in a nutshell. The stomach must have rest and assistance, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by sup Plying those natural digestives which every weak stomach lacks, owing to the failure of the peptic glands In the stom ach to secrete sufficient acid and pepsin to thoroughly digest and assimilate the food eaten. One grain of the active principle In Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets' will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment, which any one can per form for himself In the following man ner: Cut hard-boiled egg Into very small pieces, as it would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets In a bottle or Jar containing warm water, heated to $& degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep It at this temperature for three and one-half horrs, at the end of which time the egg will be as com pletely digested as It would have been In the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment Is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to tho egg in the bottle It will do to the egg or meat in the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even n little child can tako Stuart's Tablets with safe ty and benefit If Its digestion is weak, and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular dally use are easily ex plained wh'en it is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, asep tic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the food and digest It thoroughly, giving the overworked stom ach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply Irritate and inflame the intestines. When onough food Is eaten and prompt ly digested there will be no constipation, nor. in fact, will there be disease of any kind, because good digestion means good health In every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets are world-wide, and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cents for full-sized package in every drug store In tho United States and Canada, as well as in Europe. For the information of those Interested, a little book will be mailed free by ad dressing F. A. Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich., giving briefly the symptoms of the various forms of stomach weakness, causes and cure. Copyright 1000 by The "Wizard Card. Co. LEARN TO Tell Your Own Fortune! 6 4 .
