"THE WORLD: THURSDA’ ~NEW DULL RECORDS “WW STOCK MARKET Trading Drags Along in a Slow |. Rut and Bulls and Bears Give .

Reoord-breaking duliness was the only feature of the stock market to-day. ‘The small sales caused a general feol- fag of gloom all through the financial district and were the principal subjects for discussion on the floor of the Stock Exnhange, where there were fewer brokers than for any day in years. ‘Those that were there stood around do- ing nothing or told jokes and played ‘ ~ Jokes when Chairman Talbert and his ever present glasses happened’ to bo looking the other way. An for prices, there was little to say about them. In the afternoon the changes were fractional, where there *~ | were any changes at all. For instance, Atchison, which opencd at 6, was sell- fing at 6; Pennsylvania opened at 1123-4 and was selling at 112 5-8; Copper had * declined from 45 3-4 to 45 1-2; Sugar un- obanged at 124; Steel, at 65 5-8, was 1-8 under the opening; St. Paul started at 188 7-8 and declired to 138 3-4 after hav- ing sold at 139, and so through the whole lst. The much-talked-of improvement in the steel and tron prices failed to cause the Steel stocks to become either active or to sell higher. The announcement that the danger of a strike in the soft- coal region: Was practically past failed to stimulate trading in the soft-coal carrying roads. \ ‘The early trading was noticeable only the fact that Corn Products sold at ® Bew low record—127-8. was no ip, and both bulls apa bears eve up all efforts to do busi- The close 4 ie. ‘Was about as dull as ‘opening, with prices a trifle lower. total saleg, of stocks rete, 7300 hares rae \e lowest ic ; sei einge ‘February, 18. ‘The bonds wete $1.

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It is purely vegetable and entirely harmless. : Henry S. Wetzler, 25 Warren st, Revere, Mass., says: “Barly in the spring of 1900 1 was taken with an attack of nervous prostration. I became so weak and nervous that I was not able to leave the bed. I could not sleep without taking a sleeping powder. I got so thin and weak I thought IT would never recover. I tried three differ- ent doctors, but did not get any bet- ter; in fact, I was getting worse. One day my sister brought me a@ bottle of Nervura and I began taking it. Before I had finished taking the first bottle I began to sleep well and that terrible nervousness disappeared, and by the time I had taken four bot- tles I was entirely cured and about my business again, which is that of collector. I still take Nervura oc- casionally when I feel a little out of sorts, and take great pleasure in recommending it to my friends. You are welcome to print this testimonial, and I thank you heartily for the good that Nervura has done for me.” This grand restorative for the nerves, Dr. Greene’s Nervura, does not contain a particle of anything injurious, and can be given to reat- less and sleepless infants, nervous children or the most delicate inva- lid with absolute assurance of bene- ficial results. Dr. Greene, of 10: Fifth Ave., New York City, the most successful physician in curing nerv- ous and chronic diseases, discov- ered it, and he can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter. «(Recommended and for sale by all druggists.’ R.GREENE: CAT PILLS BILIOUSNESS & CONSTIPATION 8-00 to 25.00.
