16 MARKET PRICES DROP IN SELLING MOVEMENT Discouraging Attitude Adopted in Official Quarters: Respecting Foreign Conditions Hurts Stock Issues; Offerings Are Relatively Moderate i p v .Ifi.viatcd Press t New York, May 3. (Wall Street - * —Stocks were in process of further liquidation at to-day's opening, sell ins orders accumulating over night as a result of the more discouraging attitude adopted in official quarters respecting foreign conditions. Equip ments and munitions dropped 1 to 3 points, this also applying to ship-1 pings, coppers and the many special- I ties commonly associated with the; various war groups. Offerings were relatively moder ate except in I'. S. Steel, where S.OOO i shares changed hands down to 114%, ,'i an extreme loss of n point. Rails also yielded about a point. Delaware and "Hudson, however, making an abrupt decline of 3 % to 112. The selling movement was unchecked throughout the nrst half hour. Trading slackened before tho end of the tirst hour, on partial re laxation of professional pressure, but activity at lower levels was resumed later. Steel mado an extreme de cline to 11% and other leaders weN variably under tirst prices while minor ImdUlMtta and rails were in little demand. Tractions were again] among the weakest features, Third ! Avenue reaching a new low record at 22%. the adjustment bonds mak- j ing further concessions. High prie- ( ed specialties, notably Industrial Al- i cohol were most inclined to rally, but in general the list showed but slight recuperative power. Ponds were ; heavy to weak.

MILLION FOR HIM Cincinnati man discovers drug that loosens corns so they lift out. Local druggists are having a tre-1 mendous call for freezone, the drug l which is said to shrivel a corn, root ; and all, without any pain. A few drops applied directly upon ! a tender, aching corn relieves the j soreness at once, and shortly the en tire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the lingers. This new drug is being dispensed at small cost in quarter ounce bot tles. whiph Is sufficient to take off 1 every hard or soft corn from one's > feet. It is a sticky substance which j dries at once, and does not inflame j or even irritate the surrounding tis- j sue or skin. There is no excuse for . anyone inviting death by infection or' lockjaw from cutting their corns now. 'The New Store of Win.
