THURSDAY, OCT, 8, 1895. The Week's Continental Sltmniary. Canadian stocks are less active and prices of the 'leading speculative issues• are lower. - The large exports of gold at New York hive relieved the exchange market to some extent, and rates are easrer, The decrease in the gold reserve of the United States treasury to $96,000,000 gives rise to the.report of an issue of bonds soon by the United States Govern- ment. The amount of wheat on passage to Europe is now 28,810,000 bushels, a de- crease of 1,200,000 for the week. A year ago the amount afloat was 28,920,000 bushels. $ i' The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada is 88,092,000 bushels, as compared with 69,314,000 bushels a year ago, and 57,831,000 bush- els two years ago. There was a slight decrease in the number of failures in the Dominion last week as reported in the Daily Bulletin, there being 32 as against 88 the previous week, and 44 in the corresponding week of a year ago. Ontario leads with six- teen, a decrease of four, In Quebec there were eleven, being four less than previous week. Nova Scotia had. three, British Columbia two. None were re- ported from the other Provinces. Business in the United States this week has been to a certain extent influenced by the financial situation, but the volume of trade, while not up to expectations, shows an increase of twenty per cent. over last year, though still behind the showing of 1892. The cotton market has been unsettled, and stocks are large. The Stock Exchange of New York has fluc- tuatedconsiderably all the week, and dearer money is probable. Iron con- tinues to increase in price, and there is a noticeable shrinkage in the home de- mand ; the mills are loaded down with orders for months ahead, notwithstand- ing a lessened. inquiry. Cotton mills are advancing the price of goods, though de- mandjust now is easier. There is a. fall- ing off in the inquiry for some lines of woollen goods, and a few mills have closed. The failures for the week have been 213 in the United States, against 210 in the, corresponding week last year. Notwithstanding a Government report which made the acreage of wheat 33,- 915,600 acres, with an average yield of only 11.3 bushels per acre, prices are very low. The official crop prediction of 883,264,000 bushels is taken with more than one grain of salt, and this is not surprising when the heavy arrivals of spring wheat are considered. There has been much liquidation. and large quan- tities uaretities of grain emptied on this slumping market carried the price down very fast. A better export demand appeared as the quotation approached 60 cents, but the increased buying for foreign account failed to steady the market. et. Although the present price is somewhat firmer than a year ago, it is much lower in pro- portion to the heavy crop which was then being harvested. No sale has been made below 61 cents for cash wheat since April 13. The arrivals of wheat at Duluth from North Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota exceed the movement at this time in any year. On Monday alone the receipts amounted to 1,431 cars, or more than double the arrivals for the same day in 1891, when the crop was so much larger. There is much complaint of smut in the new wheat, however, and only about three-fourths are contract grade. Here and There. Lord Rosebery is said to be a great Bible student. He has probably had no .great difficulty in showing that his fall - as well in accord with certain Scripture texts. Certain old-timers are very naturally puzzled to know how they figure the length of one of the new modern "racing machines" by extracting the square root of the mainsail. The man who took his vacation when it was too hot for comfort anywhere is now inclined, when too late, to praise the good judgment of the fellow who post- poned his until the cool and lovely days of autumn.

All colored men should respect their own race if they would be in a position to logically resent all disrespect on the part of white linen. An unsentimental western judge has told a man who wanted a mild sentence because he had been hypnotized to direct the hypnotizer to impress on him the idea that he had not been punished at all. This kind of hypnotizer does not seem to be on the market yet. There are cases of consumption so far advanced that Bickle's Anti -Consump- tive Syrup will not cure, but none so bad that it will not give relief.

SIR JOHN MACDONALD'S CONSTITUENCY, OLD, Iilr. J. K. Iiietealfe, M.P. for Hingstou Talks of the Splendid Curative Char- acter ofDr.. Agnew's Catarrbhai Powder.. There is no small amount of talk in all parts of the country of the class of people virile are proclaiming the remarkable re- sults accomplished by Dr. Agnew's Cat- arrhal Powder, for loading citizans in all parts of the Dominion are using it. Among ethos who tell of the effective na- tore of this medicine for catarrh, have fever, or cold in the head, is Mr. J.H. Met oalfe, the popular M.P.. for Kingston, the constituency represented for so many ,wars by the late Sir John A. Macdonald. Be- yond any doubt this remedy is a marvel; radical in its effects it is at the same time simple and agreeable to take, which cannot be said of most catarrh lnediaines.

HEART FLUTTERING AND SMOTH- ERING SPELLS Quickly and Permanently Banished by Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart. One doesnot need to wait, if wise, until heart disease has developed to that degree that one hardly knows from hexer to hour when he or she may drop dead. Those heart flutterings that a little excitement brings on, followed by smothering spells that seem as though they would prove fatal, are simply guide posts pointing to the grave, if ready and reliable measures to stein the disease are not taken. A safe remedy is always found in Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart. It gives relief imme- diately, and even, without much of the medicine being taken, it completely re- moves disease. It Is a heart specific, really wonderful in its results, but it cures heart disetase only. PAIN IN THE BACK. A Certain Indication of the Lodgment of Kidney Disease. It is a mistake to suppose that pain in the baok is aresult only of a cold, and is more of a rheumatic trouble than' any- thing else. It is evidence that disease has lodged itself in the kidneys,and the warn- ing is plain, if further trouble is not to be taken on, that the pain must be quickly got rid of. There is no remedy we oan so completely recommend as South American Kidney Cure. Knowing what it will do, there is nothing extravagant in the state- ment of Count de Dory, who wrbte from Neepawa, Man.: "During my travels I I was induced to try South American Kid- ney Cure, from which remedy I received instant relief. "I do not think it has an equal." " I took One -Ralf Bottle of South American Rheumatic Cure and Obtained Perfect Belief "—This Remedy Gives Relief in a Pew hours, and 'Usually Cures in One to Three Days. J. H. Garrett, a prominent politioian of Liverpool, N. S., makes, for the benefit of the public, the following statement: "I was greatly troubled with rheunxatio pains for a number of years. On several occa- sions I could not walk, nor even put my feet to the floor. I tried everything, and all local physicians, but tiny suffering con-, tinued. At last I was prevailed upon to' try South American Rheumatic Cure. I obtained perfect relief before I had taken half a bottle of the remedy, and to -day regard it the only radical cure for rheu- matism." ' A Real Estate Joker. An uptown real estate man had sent the facetious man to look at a house he said he wanted. The prospective tenant found it in need of extensive repairs, and went back to the agent's office. "I didn't want a six -room house," he said solemnly. "That isn't a six -room house," retorted the agent. "Yes, itis." "But I say it is not," and the agent began counting them : there's the kitchen, two bedrooms, reception -room and din- ing -room ; that's five, ain't it ?" 'Yes, and there's room for improve- ment : that's six," added the facetious man, and wanted to see something else. Totally Deaf.—Mr. S. E. Crandell, Port Perry, writes : "I contracted a severe cold last winter, which resulted in my becoming totally deaf in one ear and partially so in the other. After trying various remedies, and consulting several doctors, without obtaining any relief, I was advised to try Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil. I warmed the oil and poured a little of it into my ear, and before one-half the bottle was used my hearing was completely restored. I have heard of other oases of deafness being cured by the use of this medicine."

Doubtful Compliment. .A. promising young merchant recently presented his better half with a handsome piano lamp on her birthday anniversary. He was much flattered when she told him she intended to give it his name2 until he asked her reasons for so peculiar a pro- ceeding, "Well," said she, "you know, dear, it has a good deal of brass about it, it is handsome to look at, requires a good deal of attention, is remarkably brilliant, is sometimes unsteady on its logs, liable to explode when only half full, bares up occasionally, is always out at bedtime, and is bound to smoke," Nothing looks more ugly than to see a person whose hands are covered over with warts. Why have these disfigure- ments on your person, when a sure re- mover of all warts, corns, etc., can be found in Holloway's Corn. Cure ? It is reported that five British cruisers are ascending the River Yang-tse-Kiang In consequence of information that for- eigners aro being, threatened with violence In the interior. of China, England, it is said, has advised :Italy that the latter can in no way rely alien English support in the event of France's condemning the eomnierolal treaty be - tenon Italy and Tunis.: . A FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION ROW IT CURED MRS. SOMER... YILLE, OF BRANTFORD. Rer Case Rad Dallied Ten Years of Treat- ment—The Trouble $nought on by an Attaelc or Typhoid 1tevor—She is Again Enjoying Good Meal M., From the Brantford Nationalist. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a fa- vorite medicine in Brantford and vioinity, will be readily borne out by the local druggists, and that much suffering has. been alleviated by the use of this wonderful bealor is amply shown by the number of strong statements in favor of Pink Pills from this section. And yet the number of oases published is small in comparison with the total number that have found bcneflt from the use of this great blood builder and nerve restorer. It is true that Pink Pills are used in many oases to tone up the system, enrich the blood and stimu- late the nerves whore no serious illness ex- ists, but it is equally true that in many cases ie which they have been used, other medicines have failed, and the result achieved by Pink Pills may very truly be characterized as marvellous.. The editor of the Canadian Nationalist came across just suoh a ease recently. Itis that of Mrs. S. Somerville, a •well-known and highly - respected resident of this city. Mrs. Som- erville does not seek notoriety, but is willing that a statement of what Pink Pills have done for her shall be made pub- lie in the hope that some other sufferer may be benefited thereby. "My illness at first," said Mrs. Somerville, "was 'a serious attack of typhoid fever. Although I recovered from the fever it left its effects that have paused me many years of misery. The doctor said that my blood had beoome impregnated with poison and that it would take a long time to eradioate it. The trouble seemed to have its chief seat in my ]imbs,which caused me a great deal of pain. For about ten years I continued doc- toring, not continually, but at times, and I tried many remedies without permanent results. This went on until the end of '93, when I became so much crippled np that I despaired of getting relief. I had read much of the remarkable cures through the use of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills and became interested in them. One day I asked my physician if I might try them. He gave his permission and I began using them. By the time the third box was finished I fcund myself very much improved -in fact, the pains had entirely left me and I was growing healthier and more fleshy. I continued using the pills until I had taken six boxes more, when I felt that I was entirely cured, and was enjoying better health than I had done for years. I am satisfied that to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I owe my recovery, and have implicit confidence in their curative power, and shall continue to recommend them to other sufferers" Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine, but are a long tried prescription acting upon the blood and nervus. They are of great value as a tonin during recovery from acute diseases, such as fevers, etc., building up the blood and system, preventing the often disas- trous after effects of such troubles. Sold by all dealers or sent post paid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by address- ing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. Refuse all imitations and substitutes. There never was, and never will be, a universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir—the very nature of many curatives being such that were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one ill, in turn would aggravate the other. We have, however,' in Quinine Wine, when obtainable in a sound unadulterated, state a remedy for many and grevious ills. By its gradual and judicious use, the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength, by the influence which Quinine exerts on Nature's own restoratives. It relieves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chronic state of morbid despond- ency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by tranquilizing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep— imparts vigor to the action of the blood, which, being stimulated, courses through- out the veins, strengthening the healthy animal functions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, strengthening the frame, and giving life to the digestive org us, which naturally demand increased substance -result, im- proved appetite. Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given to the public their superior Quinine. Wine at the usual rate, and, gaged by the opinions of scientists, this wine approaches nearest perfection of any in the market: All druggists sell it. The Metrical System eflEngland. 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 tobe 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 be trusted that some action may speedily be taken in the matter. "Little Birds in a Nest." Here is William Savage Landor's de- scription of the sentries whom he saw at Seoul: "The Corean Tommy Atkins mounts guard curled up in a basket filled with rags and cotton wool l Even at the royal palace one sees them. The Cho-senese warrior is not a giant; on the contrary, he is very small, only a little over 5 feet or even Tess, so that the round basket which contains him is made only about 4 feet in diameter and 3+ feet deep. In the inner inolosure of the royal palace, where two soldiers at a time are on guard, the baskets are bigger, and the two men contained in thein squat or curl up together like two birds in a nest. Their rifles are generally left standing against the wall; but occasionally, where the position to be guarded is a very re- sponsible one, they are nursed in the basket." --Philadelphia Record. The Retort Courteous. The dude was making the girl dead tired by his long and vapid talk on the advancement of women: "Don't you ever wish you were a man 1" he asked as a kind of a clincher.
