The number of failures in the Domin-
ion last week show a slight decrease.
There were 42, as against 50 the previous
week and 37 the corresponding week a
year ago. Ontario heads the list with
19. The most important one is that of
the North American Mill Building Co.
limited, of Stratford, with. liabilities of
$78,000. Quebec had 12, none of which
were of any importance ;. Nova Scotia 5 ;
New Brunswick 2 ; British Columbia 3,
and Manitoba 1.
We have had another illustration this
week of the tendency of the money mar-
ket. One of the best loans ever made on
Toronto property (from the borrowers'
standpoint) was negotiated a few days
ago. It, was for $200,000 for a number
of years at 4e, per cent. per. annum. The
money was Scotch capital, and we under
stand that any quantity can be had on
good central properties at the same rate.
The loan was tnade through Anderson &
Temple, of Toronto street. The time is
opportune for the making of loans, and
it is largely owing to this fact that the
late Canadian issues have been so suc-
cessfully floated. There is a ecod deal
of local money to be had on choice col-
lateral, but no change in the rates have
been recorded for months. Brokers are
somewhat surprised at this; they are
anxiously looking for .lower money. An
exceptional loan on bonds was made here
last week at 3:4 per cent.
There is a possibility of the United
States issuing bonds, and this has allay-
ed the feeling with regard to large ship -
meats of gold. Sterling exchange is
slightly weaker in consequence. Colder
fweather has stimulated the demand for
dry goods and furs, but there is little
-change in other wholesale departments
in. Toronto. Shipments of hardware and
iron have been fair in consequence of the
near approach of the close of lake navi-
gation and the going into effect of winter
railway freights on the 15th ince. Sugars
are reported easier this week, but gener-
ally the change; in prices of merchan-
dise are -unimportant. Remittances are
likely to improve with the freer move -
n) ant farm produce. Packers are buy-
ing dressed hogs, but as yet the receipts
are light. A. weaker market seems to be
expected.
OUR 111AR1Kk:T RI VI W.
There has been no factor in all that
goes to make up the world's market
which ha' been attracting more atten-
tion than the large and increasing out-
put of wheat from the Argentine Re-
publie. That country has everything
that can promote the cheap and easy
handling of its product on the English
market. and. this, combined with. its
beat home advantages, makes it the
most formidable rival which the older
wheat growing countries have in sight.
The cost of transportation from Argen-
tine to the markets of the world as com-
pared with that of Canada is a mere
nothing. as they have little or no rail
freights to pay and the cost by water
'where there are n o transhipments to make
is very low. Labor when paid iu tite
debased silver money of that country
does not cost more than a, fraction of what.
it does here, and there are little or no
municipal or government taxes to meet.
so that the farmers there are inthe best
position in the world for carrying on a
successful competition against all -comers.
Beerbohlns cable report says : "From
the Argentine Republic the latest cable
news is to the effect that crop prospects
are first rate, but in a country with such
a variable climate at this season it will
be wise not to put too much faith in
these early impressions. Meanwhile if
all goes well, it may be taken for grant-
ed that this new source of supply will
have as much to spare in 1895 as in the
present year, viz., 52,000,000 to 56,000,-
000 bushels."
In Australia the harvest is expected to
be rather late, but the prospect on the
whole are not unfavorable. The great
rush of wheat from Canada and the
United States to the foreign market has
begun to slow up, and the feeling seems
to be that the crop has been considerably
oversold up to the present, and that a
very much larger proportion of the crop
has gone to market than in any former
year. European stocks and those afloat
for the foreign market have always in-
creased from three to five millions dur-
*` ing the month of October, bat during
last month they fell off 232.000 bushels, a
strengthening factor which has more
than counterbalanced the effects of the
heavy increase in the visible supply on
this continent.
Wheat is much stronger in England
than last week, and the reports are he
fa orable
de-
cidedly
more to grower.
t v
Chicago markets closed very firm, and a
Decided turn for the better has evidently
set in. Manitobewheat at Fort William
is in good demand and at from a cent to
1t cents better than a week.ago.
Local markets are assuming a much
stronger tone and we may reasonably
look to a change for the better during
the incoming week.
Red winter and white wheat have been
selling at 51 and 58 cents respectively by
standard and at proportionate figures
outside. We do not see any particular
reason for rushing much wheat upon the
market.
Barley is in good demand and atbetter
prices than our last quotation, and there
is no very immediate cause of alarm, but
there are grave fears expressed in some
quarters as to the probability of the duty
being again 'changed by the American
Government by way of reprisal for the
obnoxious duty on log booms. Should
serious complications arise over this it
will have the effect of destroying once
more the trade in this cereal which since
the tariff reduction has begun to assume
its former shape. The home demand is
very fair and the offerings haye not been
so heavy as to affect the •prices, Toronto
Flees range from 40 to 44 cents, and out-
side from 88 to 42,
Oats are steady, and those is little or
no change to note since our last report.
Toronto prices range from 30 to B0i.
cents,
Peas have steadily held their pride for
the entire week on the Liverpool market,
and the feeling is that for the present
there is not much cleanse for a change
either for the better or worse. English
and American markets closed firm.
Despite the lowness of other meats,
pork seems to hold its place in the favor
of the English people, and there is no
doubt but that it will eventually feel the
effects of the terrible depression in beef
and mutton. We would certainly not
advise the holding of hogs, which are
ready to kill, under the impression that
they will be worth more money.

The Bitterness of Bed.
To drink and play the night through,
and become, with no interval of oblivion,
a sober and respectable unit in the morn-
ing had its charms for boyhood. To
reconcile yourself to sleeplessness and
read or write till they call you to break-
fast has a tolerably sustaining air of
manly determination and triumph over
brute. But to go to the longed -for bed
stupid with sleep, feel sleep coming over
you speedily, and never sleep at all—that
is the torture of the gods. You light the
gas and open the book you took to bed
from habit. But fatigue has deprived
you of emotional appreciation ; you have
no sympathetic terror as you read De
Quincey's dreams, or, if you go to the
other pole, no delighted chuckle for Jane
Austen's irony. Tho more common place
matter is, however, your better friend,
and you close your eyes and have a brief
half dream of yourself snubbing the
colossalsnobbery of Emma. Encouraged.,
you turn to the gas, compose yourself
carefully, and are fully conscious once
more. . . At this stage you fancy
for yourself a superiority. over the
healthy, snoring boors you imagine at
rest elsewhere. Then questioning if the
unwholesomely abnormal be finer than
the common state, you are led to philo-
sophizing on the relation of genius to
madness, until you feel that a devil in
your head has tied a rope round your
brain and is pulling steadily. Will your
constant sleeplessness end in madness or
an early death? You take a dose, but
your mind is stronger than that amount
of chloral tho doctor allows you, and the
conviction is despair. But gradually
you begin again to entertain dreams,
hundreds of them in maddening succes-
sion. One moment you are dreaming,
the next you are reasoning on the
dream's history. The growing light
through the curtains serenely reproaches
you. At last you sleep for an hour, then
healthy humanity is on your nerves
again, and you join it with a dazed un-
derstanding and dim perceptions. Your
mother, and your sisters, and your wife,
they are people in a dream country, um
til the gods cease their torture and will
let you sleep.

that she can hardly play with other girls

ing a pious child, she is accustomed to
read the Bible and apply its maxims to
her daily life. One day this week, after
spending a whole hour over a single
chapter, she came to her mother and an -

dren of Israel that they should be blessed

One of the most remarkable bets that
were made on the result of the recent
election in New York State was that be-

The wager was offered of $100 to one
cent that Morton would defeat Hill, with
this previso, that for every vote Morton
received in excess of Hill. the Democrat
should pay one cent to the Republican.
Thus, if Morton were elected by 10,000
plurality, the loser would pay $100, but
as Morton's plurality is nowover150,000,
the Democrat stands to lose over $1,000.
The $100 and the one cent were put up,
and the winner insists upon exacting the
full conditions of the wager. •

From the Lindsay Post.
There are few men better knots n in
Victoria oou.t:ty than Mr. Richard Fitz-
gerald, who was one of the fist settlers
of the township of Carden. He was elect-
ed tothe honorable position of reeve of
that township for twelve successive years,
and filled the position with so much ac-
ceptance to the people that he was press-
ed to continue the office for &longer time,
but was compelled to decline the honor.
It therefore.goes without saying that M'.
Fitzgerald is not only known to all the
residents of the township, but that his
word is considered by those 'who know
him to be as good as his bond, and that
upon anything be may say the most im
plieit eonfidence may be placed,
When young, a stronger or more
hearty man could not be found, but pos-
sessed of an iron constitution, he olid
what too many are prone to do, negiect-
ed his health and exposed himself to all
sorts of weather, often. in the pursuit of
his calling as a farmer, being wet to the
skin for hours at a time. A little over
seventeen years ago he found that he
had contracted rheumatism of muscular
form, and each succeeding day found him
in a worse condition. Ple applied to the
local doctors in his neighborhood, but
received no relief, and was then induced
by them to apply for admission to the
general hospital at Toronto for treat-
ment, and was in that institution for
several months, until he became dis-
heartened at the want of success attend-
ing his treatment and returned home, as
was thought to die. By this time the
muscles of his body had become so con-
tracted that he could not straighten his
limbs, and was forced to spend the great-
er part of his time in bed, and when able,
to get around at all it was only with the
aid of a stout pair of crutches. When he
attempted to raise to his feet his legs
wou]dcrack at the knees like sticks of
wood, caused, as the doctors told him, by
the fluid in the joints being completely
dried up. He was constipated to a fear-
ful degree. When he retired at night
there was not sufficient blood in his awns
to keep him from feeling intensely cold,
and in order to ' keep him warm bis
daughter knitted him woolen leggings
and lined them with soft wool. Several
times his family, a portion of whom re-
side in Michigan, were summoned. home
to see their father for the last time, as he
sias thought to be on his death -bed. P -
molly, after suffering as much bodily pain
as would have killed an ordinary man,
and at a time when he had not set his
foot on. the ground for a year, he was in-
duced by his son to give Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a trial, as he had heard of the
many remarkable cures made by that
remedy. It was after much persuasion
that he was induced to give them a trial,
as he had then spent a smallfortune in
medicines and different modes cf treat-
ment under which he had steadily grown
worse, and h. had despaired ox finding
anything that would help him. At la et
he began the use of the Pink Pills and
had not taken them long before be began
to notice a decided improvement in his
condition. Continuing their usehe found
he could get around much better than he
had been able to do at any time formally
years, and after a still further use of
Pink and
he was entirely relieved feem
all rheumatic pains, and is now a 'wonder
to himself and all who knew him. Mr.
Fitzgerald is now 70 years of age, is able
to walk to Kirkfield every, day and is
enjoying better health than he has had
since he was first affected.

blood builder and nerve restorer, curing
