The Weeks COMmerdal Summitrae Wheat is very firm at Ontario points, there beine4sales of white and red at 80c. 1. West, anti on the Northern. The sterling exchange market is weak. Several millions of gold are said to be on the way from Europe to New York. Canadian eeouritios are firm in Men - den, and sorni advances are noted. Can- ada 3 per cents are now selling at 101 1-2, There is no change in the condition of Sae local money, market. Call loans are lard to get, and rates firm at 5 1-2 to 6 per cent. There is increased stringency in money stii New York owing to contraction in loans and the demands for gold for Tress- -au purposes. The number of failures in the Demin- kee during the past week, in provinces, is as follows: Ontario, 31:3e Quebec, 20; N.S., 1; P.E.I., 1; Manitoba, 2; B.O., 3; total, 47. Same week last year 52. There is a feeling of disappointment in Montreal business circles at the non -in - arouse of the trade movement. The well worn excuse of poor country roads is hardly now available, but country deal- ers generally are light buyers; probably -this spirit of caution, considering eircumstances, is rather commendable than otherwise. Notwithstanding the firm tone of sugar in the United States at the close a week ago, the market opened with a large ar- areal of Muscovado, which caused a do - line of an eighth in the price of raw. As the trading continued, an undertone of strength appeared, and an advance to the former price was momentarily ex- pected. But although there was a re- inctance to sell refined because of this ex- pected advance, the week closes at 8 8-8 for raw and 5.56 for crushed. The dry goods market continues large- ly under the restrictive itulueneee of the financial situation, and there is a general disposition on the part of both sellers and buyers to await as far as possible develop- ments which may follow the opening of bid's next week for the bond issue. Act - al business has again been on a limited. scale in all departments, but there have been numerous inquiries coming to hand, which may fairly be taken as en indica- lion that buyers are preparing for fuller operations should 0,41ditions prove more favorable shortly. Reports of trade received at Toronto during the week are not very encourag- ing. Payments on the 4th. while per- haps better than some had. anticipated, were net what we might have expacted from a healthy trade. There wore a large number of renewals naked for, and the Het of failures for the week was un - wally heeve-. The only satisfaction fer those in business is the relleetion that things may piek up a little in viaw of the Sect that a great deal of uncertainty in the situation is removed by the failure wreck. The changes in prices of mer- chandise are naimpertent. Our commercial telegrams from Now York, as to the condition of business throughout the United States, indicate no deeided changes yet. The success of the popular loan has not yet had time to affect business, but the con4equeuces in greater confidence and necessarily greater activity will probably be considerable. 'There is a perceptible improvement in on, and copper is also higher. The woollen mills are keeping fairly active, -though lessened prodeetien is talked of. There has been no change in cotton. The indications for the letter are the im- proved bank elearing,s. firmer prices in several staple Hive, and. an improved de- mand in steel and iron. The failures for the week in the United. States for the week have been 3'23, a.gainst 281 for the corresponding week last yeararind in Canada 6c7, as compared with 52 a year ago. Tell the Deaf.—Mr. 3. F. Kellock, druggist.

A modern -writer on Christian ethics says of prayer that, "whatever else it is—duty. privilege or spiritual exercise.—it is also a necessary element of the spiritual life. When it stops entirely spiritual life stops. To be without prayer is to be without God." These are uncompromising asser- tions, but they cannot be denied. They are according to Scripture and to all hu- man experience. But what ghastly testi- mony they bear against those who restrain prayer before God, who go to a prayerless bed and rise to a prae-erless day's work, who are neither drawn by joy, nor driven by sorrow to the mercy seat, but live from day to day and week to week like the beasts that perish.
