Liquidation Ceases When Clearing House Figures Are Issued and Trad- ers Put Faith in Statement of Con- servatives that Bad Spell Is About Ended. The bank statement to-day was much better than had been expected. ‘The figures compared with last week show as follows: Reserve on all deposits...... Reserve on deposits other than U, 8, Loans....

Contrary to general expectations, the; telegraphed to Wall street: "It's ho use tank statement was fairly good to-day and the stock market, that has been in e Uquidation coming to a halt. ‘Phe tone shifted from wavering to strong, and traders, encouraged, went in to buy. ‘The statement showed an increase in the reserve, a decrease in loans and deposits and an increase in circulation. When the figures had been studied, some could not quite make out their real value and prices went off fractionally for a few moments. 7 ‘There was another recovery, however, and the closing of the market was strong. ‘The lossex in stocks through this week's liquidation were about $70,000,000 ‘and the losses since the slump began jast September ere totalled about $700,- 000,000, ‘This week's disastrous routing of the bull forces by the skilfully directed on- slaughts of the bear element has been acoomplished only by repeated costly drives. Yesterday's culmination of these sav- age onslaughts, which alone cost pools and ‘public at lenst $20,000,000, left the market !n a semi-pantcky condition. Soundnens Proved. And yet the intrinsic soundness of the situation was shown in the better prices at the opening, the general be- Jef that next week will see a turn in the situation and that this week's enor- mous losses have really made the gen- eral market position better. At the opening there was an active selling pressure, but enforced liquidation was nob so noticeable. The prices held firmer at slight ad- vances over last night's o! for the first ten minutes, Then came recessions, ‘The selling orders exceeded the buying orders, Pressure increased in many insues. Baltimore and Ohlo opened 981-2 to 98 3-4, with sales of 3,000 in the first five minutes. John W. Gates was re- ted galling it from Chicago. Befnicn Padtiic, against which a severe drive was made yesterday, opened up at par and three-elghths, with sates of 400 shares. The Harriman-Kuhn, Loéb combination was buying. It broke to par in the early trading. Rock Island was very active during the bear movement. After opening up 1-4, at 481-4, the stock broke sharply to 421-2 on heavy selling. Brooklyn Rapid Transit alone retained its strength, Southern Pacifico Sold. Southern Pacific, against which such a terrific drive was made yesterday when it was learned that the James R.

In fact, wherever there fs mucaus mem- brane there 1s a feeding ground for ca- tarch, The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays, douches or powders have been practically failures as far as anything more than tem- porary relief was concerned, because they “imply dry up the mucous secretions with- out having the remotest effect upon the blood and liver, which are the real source of catarrhal diseases, It has been known for some years that tat pe Geir tt eae BP ving Dew Cy Grand Central Stat DNIGHT tigate Due ae tho radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications, but from an remedy acting on the blood end! 10.30 expelling the catarrhal polson from the| ] 7,; system. 12.
