THE UCJLIANTON TJUBUNE-SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1902.
THE OLD
POWDER
Absolutely Pure;
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
THE MARKETS.
I Wftll Street Bevlew.
Now York, Dec. 19. Today's stock mur
lut showed tho mutual Interest of the
elimination yesterday ot a very Inrst:
Bliort Interest and tho consocnient latk ot
an important sustaining iulluence. les
torday's upward rush of prices also led to
considerable realizing. Tho professional
iradeis on tho lloor, appreciating this
Htate of affairs, worked for a lonctlon all
Juy and wero rewarded In tho latter part
of tho day by a sharp break in price,
which carried most of tho market leaders
Ri-nerally below last night. Somo re
newed anxiety was l'elt over tho Venezue
lan situation, owing to the provisional
jinturo of tho reply from Great Britain
nnd Germany to llio proposition for ar
bitration. Tho forecast ot tho weekly
bank statement did not promise as good a
showing as was counted upon in tho mid
dle of tho week and there was some sell
ing due to disappointment mi that scoro.
3-ondon also turned seller in this market
today, reversing tho position of yesterday,
atost of this selling, however, was purely
arbitrage business, tho advance hero go
ing ahead of London and allowing oppor
tunity to cover sales here by buying In
London. Published reports of a heavy
flotation of railroad bonds of the Vandur
bllst system in London nttracted consid
erable attention this morning and con
tributed to a sharp rise in New York Cen
tral. This development .promised such
Important results in tho exchange situa
tion that It was accepted with avidity by
bullish traders. Unfortunately the rumor
jmst with denials from authoritative iiuar
teis, and this helped to turn thu mar
ket downwards. St. Paul was a conspicu
ous center of strength with continued iu
mora of an early Issuo of the new stock
authorized. Tho advance was accompa
nied by evidence of manipulation and tho
gain was almost entirely wiped out. The
continued eager demand for anthracite
Eustalned tho Coalers. Gleat Northern
preferred rose sharply without explana
tion. Tho sharp ad,vance in the price ot
ropper In London helped Amalgamated
Copper. These apodal points of strength
served to sustain the market during the
early part of tho day In face of the realiz
ing, which was In evidence from tho start
and most notably so in thoso stocks
which havo led tho week's advance.
Southern Pacific, Misouris Pacific. Sugar,
Manhattan and Louisville and Nashville
were all sufferers on this scoro. There
was some check to tho selling before the
close which was llrm. Total bales today,
796,300 shares. Tho bond maikct was bet
ter sustained than stocks, reflecting some
Investment demand In anticipation of the
January coupons. Total sales, par value,
J.1.930,000. United Stotes bonds wero all
unchanged on tno last call.

That wou'd not be sincere in her appreciation, if she were presented with a
handsome IYbrris Chair, or a beautiful China Closet, a polished finished Rocker,
a Quartered Oak Table, an elegant Couth, a large bovded-plate Mirror, or a

make a cash purchase.

The wholesale merchant is only too glad to give the retail dealer a discount for
cash, and the dealer who appreciates your patronage can give you BLUE Stamps
as a discount for your cash trade and still maintain the same margin of profit on
his goods, for he is only glv.ng the discount to his patrons in BLUE Stamps
that he gets from his wholesale dealer in cash.
