COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Bradstreet’s review of nBV IOrL the business year say*:“To I— * say that 1902 was the best year this country has ever experienced, not suggest fully the enormous strides which the United States took in the year just closed. Practically every branch of ordinary trade and manufacture showed an increase above the best of previous years, and yet this immense enlargement of output was not sufficient of itself to satisfy {he growing, it might even be termed insatiable, demand for all kinds of materials. In many cases the usual foreign outlet for our products was, perforce, neglected by American producers, who confined their efforts to supplying insistent domestic demand, while in others foreign production was called upon to re-enforce domestic output, with the result that new currents and channels were created in our foreign trade. Our export trade therefore shrank, while our imports expanded to unprecedented figures. “Industrial unrest was naturally marked, as it always is in times either of prosperity or of depression, and serious disorganization of some of the country’s basic industries resulted for a time. In many cases, however, resort to extremes was avoided or rendered unnecessary by liberal recognition by employers of changes in the standard of living, and it is safe to say that two men obtained higher wages or had their working time reduced without resort to strikes for every one who actually quit work. ‘ 1 There was about the.usubDlCdQO. al amount of business on a I the Board of Trade during the year 1902. '-■Wheat was, as usual, the leader and the selling price had a wide fluctuation, the lowest'-pohit touched for the year being 08% cents in August and the highest being 95 cents in September, while the extremes in 1901 were 03% and 79% cents. There’ was/lUgood deal ■of bull feeling during thevyear under review on the reported poorer crop in this country and the world over —iff quality only—the strong feeling in stocks and the general prosperity, nnd it was argued that the higher prices in securities should be reflected in wheat. This, however, did not fully materialize. The exports were smaller than those of the previous year; "Corn ruled firm throughout the year and prices averaged higher. This was due largely to the small crop gathered in 1901. The crop in 1901 was nearly 750,000,000 less than that of the year before, or 1,522,000,000 bushels, as compared with 2,264,000,000 bushels the year previous, and higher prices followed. Oats were affected somewhat by the same causes which affected corn and also sold higher. Hog products were influenced largely by the course of corn and sold higher.

CAPTURES TO ESCAPE.

Experiences of Treasury Agents in Running Down muggier*. The former Custom Inspector was talking of jewel smugglers, says the New York Evening Post. “You hear a lot about the cleverness of the Treasury agents In running these fellows down, but their cleverness isn’t a marker to that of the folks who make a business of bringing things in. Cases of detection are few and far between; just thiflk of the thousands of cases which are never detected! Indeed, you are -up against it’ when you deal with those people. They’re just as clever as you are, a whple lot cleverer, some of ’em. “I remember one case which beat us badly, although we had our eyes wide ppen and thought we knew all about ft. Word came from Paris that a man we’d been suspicious of for a long time was coming over with a handful of cut diamonds. We were told it would be useless to search his clothing or luggage for them, because he-would have them under a porous plaster on his back.

“So we laid low and waited for the man’s arrival. He canje as smiling as a basket of chips, and we nailed him. He declared he knew nothing about jewels; said he hadn't one in his baggage; we could search it if we pleased. But we didn’t please; we took him into a stateroom and told him to undress. Then he began to get nervous. He said he had rheumatism in his back, and the stripping' would be the death of him. Finally we came to the porous plaster. There it was, and there were little bumps all over its surface. We knew we had him, and he, apparently, knew it, too. When we suggested removing the plaster he almost wept; perhaps he had once tried to take one of them off. Eventually we compromised by puncturing the little bumps on the plaster and taking from each a fine, sparkling diamond. The man was fairly beside himself, because the value of the gems must have been nearly $75,000. We had a clear case, and we marched the man off triumphantly. —■ “Next day we learned that every one of the ‘gems’ was a bit of cut'glass—the man had brought In a fortune in gems in his valise, which we had never opened. We also learned that’ h<* had sent us the ‘tip’ about the porous plaster.” ■ ■■ -

Missed the Usual “Boom.”

Mr. Goode of the vaudeville team of Goode and Rottenne was walking down the street, when he stepped upon a banana peel and came to the sidewalk with much the same force that characterizes his famous tumble from the slapstick in the hands of his partner. Slowly rising to his feet, with a puzzled, disappointed look on his face, he exclaimed: “Huh! I suppose the bass-drummer has gone to sleep again.”—■Baltimore American.

Oolitic, Ind., Jan. 12.—That Oolitle is rlg>ht abreast of the times in the use of the most recent discoveries in medical science is shown by recent cases In which those dreaded. . Kidney Complaints that cause so mauy deaths have been completely cured by the new remedy, Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Many people in this neighborhood tell of aches relieved and pains departed because of the use of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. One of these is W. A. Terry, the well known grocer. Here is his story: “I suffered for four months with Kidney and Bladder Trouble and was so bad that I was almost confined to my bed. I could got no relief until I com.menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills. “I could notice an improvement the second day I took the pills. I would recommend Dodd’s Kidney Pills to all sufferers from Kidney Complaints.” The first scientist persecuted for teaching the truth that one Intelligence ruled the Universe, was Anaxagoras.

The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as “catching cold.” It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be bo slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form.

Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease. ’ Miss Elizabeth Über, No. 57 Bassett •treet, Albany, N.
