COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL

~ ~ ~~j Weatheb and images conn6W Yfifft. ts nue the only seriously dis- — turblng factors in the business situation. Excessive moisture and low temperature made the crop outlook more uncertain, and much depends on a continuance of prosperity in the agricultural sections. On the other hand, rec-ord-breaking distribution of pay in the Pittsburg region accelerated retail trade, while resumption of woolen and other mills added largely to the active force. Transporting lines continue to make splendid exhibits, railway earnings for the first«sveek of Maj’ exceeding those of a year ago by 6.2 per cent and surpassing the same week’s Carnings in 1900 by 19.9 per cent. The foregoing summary is made of the trade situation by R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review. Continuing the review says: As indicated by weekly reports, pig iron production attained a new record for the month of April at 1,503,326 tons, and the weekly capacity of furnaces in blast on May 1, according to the Iron Age, was 352.064 tons, far surpassing all previous high-water marks. Such an enormous production would suggest accumulation of supplies, but consumption easily keeps pace, furnace stocks showing a decrease of about 10,000 tons during April to tnnch the lowest point in recent years. With about twenty more furnaces in course of construction or contemplated, an annual output of 20.000,000 tana, la no longer considered remote, while the current year may exceed 18,000,000 tons if no serious labor controversy or other calamity interferes. ■ 1 '■ While It is generally agreed that there has been much improvement in the winter wheat States since the opening of the month, prices became somewhat firmer upon the publication of the official report of condition on May 1. Exports for ten months of the crop year assure the heaviest out go e v eFTecbt'd ed,wenif-t he last two months make poor exhibits. For the past week exports were 3.499.764 bushels, flour included, against 4,023.246 a year ago. Corn advanced on lighter receipts and reports of slow progress in -planting. — — ■ ■ Quotations continue to vary widely, according to date of delivery, and there is less spot business owing to scanty supplies and to the growing tendency of consumers to place orders, for future delivery. There is now very little evidence of buyers holding off for a break. Kails ■nd structural supplies are ordered freely for delivery next year.

The most unfavorable deClliCdQO. velopment of many weeks a ‘ lin the business world occurred when the strike in the Pennsylvania coal fields was inaugurated. In consequence of the strike and its attendant possibilities a slight tinge of pessimism has colored the eastern reports. There is nothing as yet, however, to occasion fear of a set-back, and if we turn from this district and view the industrial field as a whole the situation is found to be very encouraging. Good rains fell in the Southwest, greatly stimulating winter wheat, and this alone is sufficient to offset every unfavorable feature found elsewhere. It is interesting to note that grain receipts at Chicago last week, although light, were the largest known this year. In Minneapolis receipts continue very light, which Is to be expected for a short time yet. A considerable portion of the Northwest acreage is still unseeded, and reports received fully confirm the earlier prophecy of a decrease iu wheat planting and an increase in corn and oats. Retail buying increased with the rains in the West. Jobbers found considerable business for fall delivery. In the produce lines prices have been easing off, which is natural as the season advances, Meat prices hold relatively firm, however, and material declines x are n»t expected uutil the late summer or fall.

When Justice Was Jocund.

The judge of one joke is as rare as the poet of one poem, yet the Washington Tost states that there is only one Instance of jocularity recorded against Justice Gray, of the United States Supreme Court. One day when Judson Harmon, then Attorney General, was making an argument before the court, he had occasion to display a map showing the locality in which the land in dispute was situated. It was a tiny map and difficult to see from the bench, and as he held.it up Mr. Harmon referred to It as “a bird’s-eye view!” , Justice Gray squinted his eyes In the effort to discern the map. “Mr. Attorney General.” he said, at length, “I regret to tell you that I am not a bird.” As the Attorney General folded up the tiny map, the grave and dignified Justice was seen to chuckle. . -

Burning Head.

Star City, Ark., May 26th.—A very remarkable case has just occurred here. Mr. W. H. McFalls has been suffering severely for two years with an ailment that puzzled the doctors and everybody. The trouble seemed to be all In .his head, which had a burning sensation all the time. Sometimes this burning pain in the head would be worse than at other times, but it never left him. At last he tried a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and was agreeably surprised to find that the burning gradually disappeared. An attack of La Grippe has laid him up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's Kidney Pills have banished his old trouble entirely. His son George used a few of the Pills which his father did not need, and they have done him so much good that he says he would not take ten cents a pill for the few he still has left.

Bits of English.

Many of our English words have bits of meaning hidden away in their cells,- showing what men have done and thought centuries ago. Flocks and herds were once currency, rude metal was weighed as a price, and copper was probably the first coin to tefich Roman palms, facts found ip the words “pecuniary,” “expend” and “estimate.” “Salary” takes us back to the time when t£e Roman legions received salt as part pay. “Calculate” recalls*an age when pebbles were used In counting; and “stipulate,” the custom of breaking a straw between two in making a contract. “Paper 11 claims relationship with the papyrus of the Nile, and “volume” with the early sheepskin roll. “Library” dates back to the time when pages were of bark, and “book” tells (is that the bark ywas from the “bok” or beech tree. A “pagan” was at first a village-dweller, and a “heathen” a heath-dweller.* To “abhor” is to bristle; to “accost,” to draw near to the ribs; to be “chagrined,” to be chafed with rough leather. “Rival” suggests an unfair neighbor sharing an irrigating brook, and “homage” the act of a kneeling serf, laying his toil-roughened hands between those of his feudal lord with the promise, “I am your man.” These bits hint at the riches that may be found by the one who is willing to dig out some language besides his own.

Belladonna is a preparation from the deadly nightshade, a plant familiar to most persons from being frequently seen as an ornamental shrub in the flower gardens. All parts of the plant are actively poisonous, and many fatalities have resulted from the leaves or berries being incautiously chewed or eaten bj’ children and other persons. If we wish to be big men to those who come after us we should keep no log books, but always remember to sing, “1 never did so when I was young,” then, you see, they’ll never have a chance to find out what blooming idiots we were.— “Up and Down the Sands of Gold,” by Mary Devereux.

Laid Up for Sixteen Weeks. St. Jacobs Oil and Vogeler’s Curative Compound Cured Him. “ I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism for many years. I was laid up with Rheumatic Fever for nine weeks in 1894, and again for sixteen (16) weeks in 1896. I tried many medicines I saw advertised and others I was recommended ; finally I was induced to take Vogeler’s Curative Compound, which did me more good than all other medicines. In fact, I feel quite a different man since I have been taking the Compound. All my neighbors and friends are quite surprised to see me about and looking so well. I can only say that Vogeler’s Curative Compound taken internally and by using St. Jacobs Oil outwardly acted.like magic in my case. I had been taldqg»enedicines for years without obtaining benefit, but Vogeler’s has practically cured me. I have recommended Vogeler’s' Curative Compound to a lot of my acquaintances, and they tell me that it has worked wonders. “ Wishing you every success in the sale of your Vogeler’s Curative Compound and St. Jacobs Oil, I remain, gentlemen, “ Your obedient servant, " George Clarke, Gardener, * 23 Beechcroft Road, Surrey.” Send to St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd., Baltimore, for a free sample of Vogeler’s Compound.

Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen t«3 system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, Is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if oqe would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and. pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all sellable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package. San Francisco, Cal.

She writes: “I want to do what I can to let the whole world know what a grand medicine Peruna is. For eleven years I suffered with female troubles and complications arising therefrom. Doctors failed to cure me, and I despaired of being helped. Peruna cured me in three short months. I can hardly believe it myself, but it is a blessed fact.

Monkey Mimiciy.

A Spanish mule driver once Invested his scant earnings in purchasing a number of red woven caps, which form the crown of the turban worn throughout Turkey and Africa, and set out to make his fortune in the interior. He started before sunrise, and when the heat of the day came on lay down to sleep beneath a tree In a wood. Taking off his hat he opened his valise, and, putting on a red cap was soon asleep. When the sun was low in the horizon he awoke, and to his horror saw the trees filled with monkeys, In red caps. They had seen the Spaniard put on the red cap before going to sleep, and followed his example. The poor Spaniard stamped his foot In anger, and tore off his red cap and threw it on the ground, when, blessed and unexpected result, all the monkeys followed his example. He picked up bls caps and went on.
