THE DOCTOR'S MISTAKE.
The doctor made a mistake in the num

woman calls a doctor after she is once
acquainteiT w i t h
mi remedial value
of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription
in all diseases and
drains common to
the sex. Without
humiliating ques
tions or local ex
nuiiuntions the
cure is accom
plished by the
use ot the
" Favorite
" supplemented
bv free
medical advice if needed. This medi
cine is harmless in any condition of the
system nnd can be taken without the
slightest fearof bad consequences, It con
tains no w hisky or alcohol. There is not
an iota of anything narcotic in it. The
relief it gives is permanent. In this it
feeliiic
the dangerous stimulants they contain
create an appetite for strong drink.
When a dealer offers a substitute for
Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription, re
member these facts.
When their diseases are deep-seatetl
and of long standing, women will find
it to their interest to write to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., who has had won
derful success in curing diseases of wom
en. He civet advice free, and Invites all
to write nitn. Protnnt, careful anil per
sonal attention is paid to each letter, and
the fullest advice ts always given.
"After five mouths of great utTering I write
this for the benefit of other sufferers from the
same affliction," says Mrs II A. Alshroofc, ot
Austin, Lonoke Co , Arte " I doctored with our
family physician without any good results, so
my husband urged sue to try llr Pierce's medi
cines which I did, with wonderful results. I
am completely cured. I took four bottles of

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Sept. 27. Tho stock mar
ket fell a degreo further towards stag
nation today, and tho activity, such
as It was, showed an nddesl tendency
to center In a faw speculative special
ties, Tennesso Coal was relatively
much more prominent than for some
time nnd registered un extreme decline
of CU points. American Tobacco
showed the continued effect of the
pressuioTo which It has recently been
subjected up to the tlmo of tho an
nouncement of the declaration of the
regular dividend. The weakness in
these two stock's served to hold back
tho market, which showed a tendency
to advance ftom nn catly period in th"
day. Better advances from abroad
made tho opening higher and the an
nouncement ot an additional engage
ment of $750,000 In gold in London f r
Import added to the conviction that
tho exchango situation admitted ot
regular import operations Tho con
tinued high price for money In spite cf
the gold announcement served as a
set-back to the advance, as was the
case yesterday. But late In tho dnv
rnmors were Industriously circulated
ot tho early approach of gold impoit
on a large scale. At the same time
tho money was quickly offered down
by successive stages to 3 per cent., but
before 2 o'clock call loans had been
made all tho wav from 12 to 20 per
cent. It was said the money could
be had at a lower late on some high
grade Railroad stocks, but the higher
range was that quoted on the stock
exchange5. I3ven on the higher grade
of collator Al the margin required wns
widened materially Under cover ot
this requirement nnd of what weie
called commissions there wns loom for
considerable manipulations of the
quoted rate. This was tiuo In tho
time loan market, In which there was
consldeiable demand for shoit loans,
ns well as in the call loun department.
Very little Is doing In mercantile pap
er, but rates are llrm. Piedlctlons
of a favorable bank statement tomor
row, upon which date the clearing
house Institutions are to make their
weekly return, weie a factor In the
fltmness of tho market. The outgo to
tho sub-treasuiy will be something
less than half a million dollars. Ship
ments to the Intel lor have continued on
a considerable scale. How far they
have been offset by small sums heio
and thoio attracted by tho high money
late cannot be cleaily estimated So
far as stock market operations go the ro
has evldonly been a further contrac
tion of loans The "character of the
statement w 111 largely depend on how
far the demand for accommodations
In preparations fop Oct 1 settlement
have offset this contraction. Tho
movement of prices In the railroad list
was very narrow. Atchlnson pre
ferred enjoved a belated demand ap
pearance Its statement and South
ern Pacific rose eiulte stiong late In
the day. The stringency of the money
market resulted In a decline In the
sterling exchango In spite of the fur
ther advance In the private discount
late In London Total sales, 360,500.
The bond market was without any
special feature, but was inclined to
firmness. Total sales par value, $1,
050,000 I'nlted States 3s declined and old
