The Wee] 's Commercial Sulflnlary.
The stock of wheat at Toronto is 41,-
214 bushels, an increase of 11,500 bushels
during the week. A year ago the amount
was 42,776 bushels.
Tha markets for wheat in Ontario axe
very dull with millers buying only from
handto mouth. Red and white wheat
are quoted at /0 to 72o at outside points.
The net exports of gold at New York
from January 1st to date is $12,700,000,
as compared with $14,348,000 during the
corresponidng period of last year and
$84,011,000 the same period •in 1894,
The New York Herald estimates that
in the United States $60,000,000 is in-
vested in plant for the manufacture of
bicycles and over $200,000,000 on the
wheels. The average $100 wheel posts
about $17.50 to snake.
The business during the week at To-
ronto was of moderate volume only, the
holiday on Monday interfering some-
what. The prospect for the immediate
future is not very encouraging owing to
the near approach of the elections.
There was a decrease of 1,848,000 bush=
els last week in the visible supply of
wheat in the United States and Canada,
and the total is now 51,295,000 bushels
as compared with 54,244,000 a year ago,
and 61,829,000 two years ago.
The failures during the present week
In Canada number 21, the smallest
number of any week during the present
year. This is exactly the same number
of failures as occurred during the cora
responding week of last year. _Nearly all
the failures of the present week were of
small amounts.
The amount of wheat on passage to
Europe is 81,280,900 bushels, an increase
of 1,280,000 bushels for the week. A
year ago the amount afloat was 44,320,-
000 bushels. Corn an passage to Europe,
7,520,000 bushels, a decrease of 640,000
bushels for the week. .A. year ago the
amount afloat was 8,920,000 bushels,
The world's shipments of wheat during
the week were 8,300,000 bushels.
Advices from Montreal are to the effect
that the week, since last report. has
been a broken one; and there is little
change to note in the v"lusne of trade or
the general situation• The dry goods

with many houses preparations are being
made for stock -taking the first of .Tune.

Money keeps coming in well in this line,
and payments for the month are reported
much ahead of May. 1805.
According to the reports of the commer-
cial agencies there is no change for the
better in business across the line. One
principal factor in the present dulness is
the doubt existing as to possible political
eventualities Products all round are weal:,
wheat has fallen, and with goods mostly
in ample supply and a light general de-
mand, employment in many districts is
slack. The enquiry for both men's and
women's dress goods appears to be unpre-
cedentedly low; cottons and woolens are
quiet, and many mills are either closed
or working half -tine. Some boot and
shoe manufacturers have orders that will
take some time to fill, but again in other
quarters cutters are being discharged,
as the makers have overtaken the re-
quirements of their cuetnmers. The con
mercial failures iu the is nited States for
the past week were 239. as compared
with 215 in the corresponding week of
Iast year,
Over half a century ago General
Henry A. S. Dearborn, collector at the
port of Boston, made a most discouraging
address before an agricultural meeting
of members of the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture on the subject of success in corn-
mercial life. His statements have been
reviewed by Mr. S. Pedlar, of Toronto,
in a recent article in the Christian
Guardian. General Dearborn was coIlec-
tor at Boston for about twenty years,
and had exceptional opportunities for
observing the commercial progress of the
people of that city. He was forced to the
conclusion that of 100 merchants and
traders not more than three achieved
independence. That 'disappointing pro-
portion is confirmed by an antiquarian
in the same city, who in 1800 tool: a
memorandum of every person on Long
Wharf. After forty years, which is as
long as a merchant continues in business,
only five in 100 remained. The ethers
had failed or died destitute of property.

ihysieian.'s Catarrhal Rowder.
Success ]las followed all of Dr.
Agnew's specifics, With all the emphasis
possible this is the case with ' his cure
fax the heart, Its effectiveness is marvel-
ous. The very paroxysms of death seem
to have seized the patient and yet relief

A Dinner Pill- Many persons suffer

ful correctives of such troubles. They cor-
rect acidity, open the secretions and con-
vert the food partaken of into healthy
nutriment. They are just the medicine

GIRL GRADUATES' ESSAYS..
A -welcome Innovation in School Com-
rneraeetnen t iexereises..
Writing of . "Girls and Literary Calis-
thenics," in. May Ladies' Home Journal,
Edward W. Bok directs. serious attention
to the literary features of girls' schools'
comrueneoment exercises, especially the
subjects for essays chosen for or by
graduating students, which be holds, in
very :many instances, are entirely inap-
propriate. Mr,Bokwrites that "When the
parents and friends of the graduates as-
semble to see the honors of the school
year coming to their girls it is only
natural that they should wish to get
some assurance that the money devoted
and the time given to their education
shall not have been for naught. Bat I do
not think that these parents take the
slightest pleasure in seeing ' their
daughters wrestle with the topies given
them for their essays -tonics that are
nearly always far beyond the ken or con-
ception of girlhood. 1 took the pains last
June to carefully follow the reports of
commencements in different parts of our
country, and the mistaken topies dis-
cussed in graduating essays were some
thing remarkable.''
Among the topics referred to he cites
"A5Flistnry of, Civilization." "Republic
.versus Monarchy," "Trades' 'Unions and
Monopoly for Labor," "The Negro and
His Right to Vote," and others quite as
inappropriate for girls to write ,upon.
Mr..8ok oontends that "there aro plenty
of topics to be found in the realms of
history, art, astronomy, literature or
nnusio, which, if oornnnencennent essays
are deemed necessary—and, to my mind,
they are not --can be fax more wisely or
acceptably discussed than those referred
Io. * * But why have commencement
essays at all? For the most part they
bore the audience rather than interest it
—and bore the girls who read them,
too, 1 fainly. In several of the colleges,
whose commencement programmes for
last year lie before me, I notice that the
traditional essays are omitted, anal simply
general exercises were followed; or an
address by a prominent educator was
given. The change is a welcome one,
and the principals of colleges throughout
the country will be wise if . they imitate
the examples of these leaders."

It is good for every man and woman
to have an ideal life, even if it is never
realized. 'Whatever it is, it affects oharao•
ter and determines destiny. The artist
may fail to paint as he would, the poet's
touch may miss the magic string, but
ideal beauty, truth and goodness, are
stars that shine forever above the storms
and wrecks of time.

There is a Soy I Can Trust.
We once visited a public school. At re-
cess a little fellow came up and spoke to
the teaelter. As he turned to go down
the platform, the master said: "Than
boy is a boy I clan trust. He never failed
me." We followed ]rim with our eyes
and looked at hien when he took his
seat titter recess. He had a fine, open
manly face. We thought a good deal
about the master's remark. What a char-
acter the boy had earned! He had al-
ready got what would be worth more to
hen than a fortune. It would be a pass-
port into the best store in the pity, and,
what is better, into the confidence and
respect `of the whole community. We.
wonder if the boys know crow soon they
are rated by other people. Every boy in
the neighborhood is known, and opin-
ions'formed of him: he who has a char-
acter whom the master can say, "1 oar
trust him; he never failed me," will
never want employment.
