COMMEPCIAL AND FINANCIAL

FT “ ' I “Favorable weather greatIwV I Oil. facilitated Easter retail I 'trade, the volume of transactions in all lines of wearing apparel being of exceptional magniture. Activity was by no means restricted to the specialties, however, the general distribution of merchandise exceeding that of previous seasons, with prices well maintained. A distinct evidence of the vigor of legitimate trade is found in the decline of only 21.4 per cent in bank exchanges at New York, notwithstanding the fact that transactions at the Stock Exchange were not more than a third of those in the corresponding week last year, while nt other leading cities clearings exhibited a gain of 9.8 per cent over last year and 31.5 per cent over 1899.” R. G. Dun’s weekly Review of Trade thus sums up conditions. The review continues:

“Demand for an eight-hour day after May 1 by the blast furnace men was the most disturbing feature in the iron and steel industry, and this is not causing much alarm, as an agreement will probably be reached during the intervening month. Production i» now beyond all previous records, and the movement of coke is ample, although the early opening of lake navigation may withdraw some of the transporting facilities, which cannot well be spared. Buying has been notably active in bars for implement-makers, and producers have sold their entire output so far ahead that new business is not sought. Aside from the advance in bar iron at Pittsburg to SI.BO and foundry iron at Chicago to $18.50, there are no important price changes,, Southern furnace products having decided to postpone the contemplated advance. “Failures for the week numbered 205 in the United States, against 206 last year, and twenty-two in Canada, against twenty-nine last year.”

—~l Navigation will soon be in CbiMOO. fuJl blast on the great * I lakes. This is much earlier than the average opening and the lake carrying trade will have th# advantage this year of an early start, and a longer season. The grain movement from the head of the lakes eastward, will probably not be as heavy as in some years past, but it will be of large proportions. The ore carriers have a good year in prospect. A marked feature of the week has been the demand for building material and everything accessory thereto. Lumber is in continued active demand and prices are very firm. The hardware trade reports the best week of this year, with the outlook favorable for increasing business from now on. Advances have been made in many of the leading lines of food products, especially in meats and provisions. Jobbers report a general lessening of demand and a lighter run of orders, which is natural in view of the recent activity in all jobbing lines. This activity has passed for the time being into the retail trade. A good winter wheat crop will mean much for the southwestern railroads and for the entire stock list. Any adverse turn in conditions calculated to cut the wheat yield materially, would, it is believed, have immediate depressing effect, especially in the stocks of those roads that had to stand the brunt of the corn loss in last year's drought. To date everything is propitious. The acreage is larger this year than last. Abundant rains have fallen, and in general the condition is satisfactory. There is talk of a bull market in stocks when the crop shall have gone far enough along into maturity to make such a movement safe, but the most critical period has yet to come, and for the next few weeks the stock market will hang on the crop reports. The grain markets show the same weak tendency, and it is impossible to stir up any bull enthusiasm in the face of the favorable winter wheat crop reports.

Bright's Disease Cured.

Sullivan, 111., March 31.—Mrs. Kitty F. Seaney was very 111 for months and notwithstanding the best possible medical attendance she got no better. The doctors said she had Bright’s Disease, and gave her llitle or no hope of ever being well again. She suffered great pain In her back, which nothing seemed able to relle.ve, till at last encouraged by the reputation Dodd’s Kidney Pills have attained In the community aa a cure for Klduey Diseases, she began to use them. The result was a surprise both to Mrs. Seaney and the physicians, for eoon after the treatment was commenced her kidneys threw off large quantities of dark diseased matter and she Improved rapidly. She used Ln all ten boxes, and has completely recovered good health without pain or symptoms of the Bright’s Disease.

Equally to Blame.

“You needn’t hide that letter you're writing. That’s impolite. I wasn’t looking at it.” “You shouldn’t have noticed that I was trying to hide it. That wasn't polite, either.”—Chicago Tribune.

Coughing Leads to Consumption.

Kemp’s Balsam will stop the cough at once. Go to your druggist to-day and get a sample bottle free. Sold in 25 and 50cent bottles. Go at once; delays are dangerous. China has a canal 2,100 miles long. This is in excess of any inland waterway of similar usefulness In the world.

Nurses* Experience. Medical men say that a good nursq in a difficult case is better than medicine, but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine, the patient stands a much better chance of recovery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all readers: "I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in the various situations I have occupied as nurse, and have invariably found it excellent In all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections, neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy—well rubbed tn. I can strongly recommend it after several years’ use and experience. It should be in every household." . Sister CAROL WA, St. Andrew's Hospital, writes: “ I have found St. Jacobs Oil a most efficacious remedy in gout; also in sprains and bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much in its praise, and our doctor is ordering Lt constantly." M » FAIL IN A DOff Issi M Of THE FM NHB FAILS J WAWETHMt. . h* 4 • history.
