The United States wheat crop for 1895 is estimated. at 450 to 455 million bushels,. The world's visible supply of wheat has increased 8,814,000 bushels the past week. The' inspector's report of the Banque du Peuple reveals a much better state of affairs .than anticipated. It is predicted by an eminent authority, Gieseeker, that the European sugar crop will be 1,200,000 tons short of the aver - The amount of wheat on passage to Europe is now only 24,2.0,000 bushels as compared. with 20,820,000 bushels at the corresponding date of last year. The visible supply of grain in the United States and Canada increased 1,083,000 bushels the past week, and the total is now 10,7(18,000 bushels as com- pared with 71,427,000 a year ago and ti0,498,000 two years ago. The value of farm lands in Ontario is placed at $587,240,117 in 1894, as com- pared with ,$004664,361 in 1893, and 1054,793,025 in 1883. Buildings total up $204,071,560 in 1894, as against $800,189; 888 in 1893, sacs $168,081),075 in 1888. Canadian Pacific has shown remark- able strength the past week, with sales as high as 05 in London. The net earn- ings of the road show an increase of $7'2,181 for August, and an increase of $4u8,478 for the eight months of the year. There were 1,011 cheese factories in operation in Ontario in 1894, showing an increase of 114 in the year. The amount of cheese made was 97,284,547 pounds, the market value of which was $9,441,- 247. 9,441;247. In 1898 there were 897 factories, whose output was 80.166.719 pounds of cheese, valued at $8,888,709. Conditions in the anthracite coal trade have further improved this week. Thi; has been due both to a more con.seetative stand. taken by a number of the leading companies and to the droqght in the mining regions, which has restricted p• e- duction to about ons' -half capacity. Deal- ers continued to buy coal for stock some- what freely, and the producing companies predicted a further advance in price about October i, It is an open secret in the trade that Lackawanna and -Dela- ware & Hudson will take the initiative in. an advance of 25 cents per ton, which will bring the actual selling imide: of coal up to the official circular of $:i.:i r per ton, alongside. Large amount of coal are still under contract for deliver- at low prices, but the trade has now taken a firm stand against future sales. Coal for the western markets was this week advanced 50 cents per ton by all the NSW 'York companies, taking effect im- mediately.

The adverse features are a lighter demand in. staple lines on the Pacific coast, a slight reaction in trade in Baltimore, and a check in the upward tendency of prices in iron and steel. However, mereautile collections are reporters as improving, especially in the South. The commercial failures are 207 in the United States, 'compared with 219 a year ago, and 40 in Canada, against 11 for the corresponding week last year. 0 -sever ie epidemic at Renfrew, Tpylirild fever prevails at Uxbridge.

Although the December option in wheat shows but a slight gain. there is a strong tone in spot quotations. The gain wasstarted by the scarcity of speculative -offerings and the evident desire to retain supplies by all holders. This apparent faith -throughout the market started a sharp turn upward without the aid of any important crop or foreign news. fiuppore was added later by the decreas- ed receipts and a healthy export demand. Exports from Russia were reported 25 !per cent. lighter than for the previous week, but a mistaken despatch from the Corn Trade News placed the world's shipment for last week at 9,004.000 bushels, or nearly two million bushels larger than the earlier statement, which tended to weaken the firm tone. Consul Judd has iesited his statement of the world's wheat condition, and reports a light crop throughout Europe and in India. But he predicts the Russian and Canadian yield niiusually heavy. Mr. Judd estimates the requirements of Eng- land alone at 214,000,000 bushels. The •official statement of the yield in France places the crop at 328.017,902 bushels, which equals the previous three years' production. Hon.

The age has many women, strong and noble physically, as they 160 are mentally and morally; but it is true nevertheless, that a largo percentage of the women of the country suffer from nervousness and gen- eral debility They drag out a weary ex- lstenee, and each day is a day of pain and et -awing. This was the case with Miss Annie Patterson., of eaokvllle, N.B., a lady widely known in those parts. She was weak, and showed symptosis of enter- ing a decline, Slie suffered terribly from indigestion and nervousness. Having. tried practically all sorts of remedies, and called in the assistance of the cleverest physicians, and, 'these doing her no good, she was influenced by some ono, somehow, to try South American Nervine. Of oourse, it was like hoping against hope- another patent medicine. But she had taken only one bottle when her system be- gan to take on the health of earliest years, and after using three bottles she was com- pletely cured. No wonder she is strong in her oonvic- tion that there is no remedy like South American Nervine, This remedy is a remarkable health builder, it removes disease, strengthens the nerves, and puts on flesh.

A Review representative was in conversation with Mr. Warman recently when the subject of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was incident- ally toughed upon. Mr. Warman said he was a staunch be'lever in their curative porperties, and to justify his opinion he related the cure of his sister, Miss Jessie Warman aged 15, who l,e said had been "almost wrested from the grave by Dr. li'i Illams' Pint; Pills." Miss 'Warman had, been suffering for nearly a year with troubles ineiclent to girlhood.

Not less gratifying is the constantly increasing accessions to the ranks of those who have found the long - sought -for relief from the horrible night- mare of strong drink, and have become free men, all traces of their servile bond- age gone. With wonderful unanimity these now speak of the benefits received. Not one leaves the Institute uncured, and not one has the faintest doubt about his cure. They all feel it and know it. Many say to us : t ` I thought that when I should leave Oakville it would require an effort of the will. to avoid a saloon or say 'No !' to an invitation to have a drink ; but, instead of that, I have al- most forgotten the taste of whiskey, and can hardly realize that I was! once a slave to it."

A Picture of Health and Activity." ed from severe and almost constant head- aches dizziness, heart palpitation, and was pale and boodless, and eventually became so weak and emaciated that, her parents thought that she was in consumption,and had all but given up hope of her recovery. Her father, Mr. Richard Warman, who is a well -to no farmer, spared no expense to procure relief for the poor sufferer. The best available medical advice was em- ployed, but no relief came, and although the parents were almost in despair, they still strove to find the means of restoring their loved one to health. Mr. Waman, like everybody else who roads the news papers, heard. of the many marvellous cures effected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, 'out like some others, looked upon these stories as "mere patent medi- cine advertisements." However, as every- thing else had failed he determined that Pink Pills should be given a trial, with a result n ss marvellous than that of many other ca related through the press. Dr. William Pink Pills have completely cured the young lady, so that in a few months from a helpless and supposedly dying girl, she has become a picture of health and activity. The Warman family is so well known in this part of the county that no ono would think of disputing any statement made by any of its members. Mr.H.H. Warman, on account of his busi- ness as salesman for agricultural machin- ery, is personally acquainted with nearly everybody in the county, and we feel as- sured that any enquiries made of him con- cerning the statements made above will be readily answered. The gratifying results following the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in the case of Miss Warman, prove that they are un- equalled as a blood builder and nerve tonic. In the case of young girls who aro pale or sallow, listless, troubled with a fluttering or palpitation of the heart, weak and easily tired, no time should be lost in taking a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which will speedily enrich the blood and bring a rosy glow of health to the cheeks. They are a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all oases arising from mental worry, ' over- work, or excesses of whatever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are manufac- tured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N.Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for 82.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr.Williams' Medicine Company at either address.

There was nothing remarkable about the composition of the words or of the music of this well-worn song, but it, neveh•theless, has connected with it a bit of personal history that is 'w'orth the telling. The words were written by Mrs. Crawford, an Irish lady, who is said to have died about 1855, and the music was composed by 1'. W. N. Crouch, an English musician, who had much ability, but little balance. The song was composed in Plymouth, .Eng- land, and for the copyright Crouch re- ceived £5 and thought himself very lucky.
