Good News from New York.

The shortage in currency which has prevailed since October is no w a thing of the past in New York and financial conditions are rapidly im proving all over the country. In Associated Press dispatch from New For the first time since the begin ning of the financial stringency in October the clearing house statement to-day showed that not only had the heavy bank reserve deficit been entirely wiped oat, bat a sar plus of $6,08-1,0 >0 above 25 per ceur legal requirmenr. had been e>t*olwiled.

Since that time the deficit has constantly decreased,.and with the rapid return of hoarded money and funds from the interior last week’s deficit of $11,509,550 has not only been obliterated, but a substantial surplus of $6,000,000 estimated.

Spirella conforms to all movements of the body. It is the most comfortable, unbreakable starlet produced. It being sufficiently strong gives all the support that is consistent with hygiene and good health. The rigid unyielding corset which supports the body in an ar uorlike fashion is never healthful.
