THURSDAY, avT. 20, 1895. The Wook's Connlercial Summary. The gold reserve of the United States treasury is now 898,894.000. It is said that the final estimate of wheat by the United States Government Will be 403,000,000 bushels. The returns of stook received at the Toronto cattle market last week were as follows: ' Cattle, 2,1182 ; sheep, 6,988, and hogs, `2,627. The English visible supply of wheat. shows an increase of 1,115,000 bushels for the week, and the world's shipments aggregate 5,60J,000 bushels. Strong protests have been made by the gr1 ei ain dee sof Toro t a i ' u o u d the nillers of the Dominion against the Order-in- Council rder in - Council allowing the; mixing of scoured whoat with No. 1 Manitoba hard. The Produce Exchange estimate of visible supply in the United States and Canada on September 1st was only 35,- 440,000 bushels, against 60,949,000 a year ago, and 56,582,0,0 in 1893. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada is 30,750,000 bushels as compared. with 69,163,000 bushels a year an. The amount afloat. to Europe is 25,000,000 bushels as com- pared with 30,240,000 bushels a year ago. An active trade is reported in nearly all departments of wholesale merchan- dise at Toronto. The ctty is crowded with visitors, many of whom are country merchants who are leaving good-sized orders. This bears out our previous statement that slacks of merchandise generally are smaller at country points than usual at this season of the year. The business sentiment is better at present than for some years past, and indications favor a good autumn trade all round. The wheat crop is coming forward in fair volume, and there is now good reason to expect a yield of at least 450,- 000,0e0 bushels. This quantity, with the surplus carried over, places the country beyond the reach of a panic or any serious famine, although speculators have made efforts in that direction with less reason. The recent decline brought foreign buyers into the market once more, and the volume of exports at Atlantic ports jumped from 1,992 bushels last Friday to 4u4,031 bushels on Wed- nesday of last week. According to our commercial sum- mary for the week the trade situation in the United States does not show muck alteration, as depression in one direction is offset by encouraging accounts from another quarter. In the South and the South-West there has been a pronounced improvement, while in the central West a slackness in dry goods and other sea- sonable lines is rather premature, while low prices are reported as generally pre- vailing. I n the South the autumn. u umn trade is said to be opening up very favorably, and in Jacksonville, Augusta and At- lanta business is generally improving and a feeling of increased confidence exists. An improvement is reported in the iron and hardware trades. In the United States the commercial failures for the week are given as 187, against 219 for the corresponding week of last year. If your children moan and are restless during sleep, coupled when awake with a Ioss of appetite, pale countenance, picking of the nose, etc;., you may de- pend upon it that the primary cause of the trouble is worms. Mother Graves' worm exterminator effectually removes these pests, at once relieving the little sufferers. Here and There. The habitual kicker should practise on a can of dynamite. God is glorified not by our sighs, but by our thanksgivings. If there is a virtue in the world we should aim at its cheerfulness. Will the woman with the red nose stop squeezing her waist eight inches too small ? The truly good man cultivates the virtue of humanity, to complete his col- lection. It may be true that nothing is ever lost, but there is a good deal that can't be found. The pursuit of happiness too often means: the pursuit of some one else's happiness. The mills of justice not onlygrind slowly, but they frequently grind up the wrong people. The most difficult thing in life is to keep the heights which the soul has reached. All the "dark horses" are manifesting an unaccountable desire to get out into the light of publicity. Messrs. Northrop & Lyman Co. are the proprietors of Dr:. Thomas' Eclectric Oil, which is now being sold in immense quantities throughout the Dominion. It is welcomed by the suffering invalid everywhere with emotions of delight, be- cause it banishes pain and gives instant relief. This valuable specific for almost "every ill that flesh is heir to," is valued by the sufferer as more precious than gold.' It is the elixir of life to many a wasted frame. To the farmer it is in- dispensable, and it should be in every house. Local exeursioning in all sections never flourished better' than it has during the present summer. It is among the many other indications of general prosperity to be noted. Take Notice.

Among no g those who speak in the highest terms of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Mr. Blasdell, of this town, who is known not only to all our citizens but to residents of this section, and he is as highly esteemed as he is widely known. To the editor of the Review Mr. Blasdell recently said: "I have reason to speak in terms of the warm- est praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as they not only saved me a big doctor's bill, but have restored mo to health, which was unpaired by rheumatism and neural- gia. Those troubles, WO e .1 think, the atter effects of an attack of nLnsles. After the latter trouble had disappeared I felt an awful pain in my head, neck, and down. my back. I tried a number of remedies, but without effect. I was then advised by Mrs.Horning, of Capetown, who had been cured of paralysis by the use of Dr. Will- iams' Pink Pills, to give them a trial. I followed her advice, and after using a box or two I began to fool much better, and with their continued use I constantly im= proved in Health, and am now feeling bet- ter than I have done before in ten sears. I am satisfied that but for the timely use of Pini: Pills I would to -day have been a physical wreck, living a life of constant pain and I cannot speak too highly of their curative powers, or recommend them too strongly to other sufferers. I cheerfully give permission to publish my statement fn the hope that some other sufferer may read and profit by it." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at tyre root of the disease, driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In ease of paralysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia. sciatica, rheu- matism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., these pills are superior to all other treatment. They aro also a specific for the trouble which makes the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Mon broken down by overwork, worry or excesses, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure. Sold by all dealers or sent by mail postpaid, at 50c. a box, or six boxes for 82.50, by addressing the 1)r.

The Metrical System oftEngland. The recommendation of the committee of weights and measures to the British par- liament was in favor of the establishment of a general metrical system,the system toabe legalized at once, and to be rendered compulsory after the expiration, of two years. There is no questioning, says In- dustries and Iron, the benefits which would result from the adoption of the met- rical system, and it is to bo trusted that some action may speedily be taken in the matter.

"I knew a sea captain, who died some years ago, who displayed great? presence of mind at a most critical time," s'aid Henry S. Roberts, of Boston. "His ship had caught fire and the passengers and crew were compelled to take to the boats in a hurry. The captain remained perfectly pool throughout all the confusion and fright of the embarkation, and at last every oue but himself was got safely into the boats. By the time he was ready to follow the passengers were wild with fear and excite- ment. Instead of hurrying down the ladder, the captain called out to the sailors to hold on a minute, and taking a cigar from his pocket, coolly bit the end off and lighted it with a piece of the burning rigging. Then he descended with great deliberation and gave the order to shove off. 'How could you stop to light a cigar at such a moment?' he was afterwards asked by one of the passengers. `Because,' he an- swered', 'I saw that if I did not do some- thing to divert -your minds there would likely be a panic and upset the boats. The lighting of'a cigar took but a moment and attracted the attention of everybody; you all forgot yourselves in thinking abont my curious behavior and we got safely away.' " —St. Louis Globe -Democrat. He Was Dabbed a Knight. A. curious ceremonial has just taken place at the palace of the Prince of Pleas.

After the answer "I swear" he was dubbed a knight amid cries of "Joh l sol hon l do l hohl dol" After the first stroke of the sword the Grand Master said: "This IS for his Majesty the King," after the sepond, "This is for the knights, oavalieis, and esquires," and after the third, "Look, thin is the noble law of hunting."

IS is the face of a hanker, however viewed, Thera is. written plainly the careful, cautious, conservative span of finance, one who weighs evory detail, and who, gen- erous in disposition, is yet firm and resolute inthe oonduot of his business, as a banker must needs be. This is the elan who suffered, al few men have suffered any- where, from indigestion. His own words are these; "About a year ago, as a result of heavy work, no doubt, I became very ,much troubled with indigestion. Asso- ciated with it wore diose terribly distress- ing feelings that oan hardly be described in any language, but that are so, common. to the dyspeptic. T had triedvarious methodsi o f ridding myself of the trouble, but without success. At last I tried South Anierioan Nervine. The result? In one word I may say, and I gladly say it, it cured me, and I have no hesitation in re- commending any person affected with any stomach trouble to try South American Nervine." M. Boyer is not the roan to heedlessly give a testimonial for a proprietary medi- cine, but the strong words that he uses of South American Nervine come from a grateful heart.

A recent inquirer at the Toronto office of the Lakehurst Institute, Oakville, upon being informed the terms for treat- ment, remarked : "I would like to go, but can't afford to spend that much money." Three weeks later he called again, and this time he said "I have just got over another spree, and am poorer by three times the cost of your treatment than when I was here last. I am off to Oak- ville before I am twenty-four hours older." We inquired how he managed to afford the spree at that price and what he had to show for his investment? It seems strange that so many oth erwi se keen, shrewd men should be content to throw their good dollars over the bar day after day, month after month, year after year, for the sake of being thought good fellows, and get no visible return except an aching head, a red nose, a rank breath, and a consciousness that some people whose opinions they value may have witnessed the spectacle of a good man gone wrong.
