The foreign demand for wheat continues at the rate of about 4,000,000 bushels per week. The best authorities state that this amount cannot be spared throughout the crop year. Many expect the surplus wheat in the United States to be ex- hausted by the end of December. The Ontario wheat markets are unusu- ally strong with prices of red and white ruling at 81 to 82c., at railway points. No. 1 Manitoba hard wheat is selling at 94c. Toronto freights. The stocks at Port Arthur and Fort William are 1,401,814 bushels as against 1,596,578 bushels at the corresponding date of last year. Another method of preserving timber has recently been tried. It consists in dis- solving in naptha the heavy oils and waxes left after the distillation of petroleum, and forcing the solution into the seasoned timber in the same manner as in creosot- ing.

There were 54 failures in the Dominion last week, compared to 40 the previous week and 38 in the corresponding week of a year ago. Ontario leads with 27, only one of which hail a rating as high as 82,000, four were rated under $1,000, and the re- maining 22 had lowest credit or blank rating.

No failures reported from Manitoba for two weeks. As a measure of safety in navigation, says the Monetary Times, the Government of Canada has had placed at various points in Canadian waters, between Detroit and south shore Lake Erie ports, gas buoys, to indicate channels and shoals. These are pronounced successful beacons, and the Government is receiving thanks from American vessel men for its efforts to enhance the safety of their craft. The Canadian Minister of Marine requested the Detroit and Cleveland steamer and vessel captains to observe these buoys closely. The steamer captains report that they are visible when the boats are from 27 to 29 minutes off on clear nights, which is equal to seven miles. Mere and There.

A single block in New York city, the most costly in town, is valued at $15,000,- 000, and another lot recently brought $2.50 a square inch. How nice it would be to own a couple of square inches in that section, just for the fun of it! Du Manner did not know that his body was going to be cremated.

When found at his business he said:— "It was about a year and a half ago that I began to suffer with lameness of the back. I soon began to run down rapidly in flesh, becoming in a short time also very weak. In misery, and unable to work, one of the best doctors in town when consulted told ane that my trouble wits diabetes. Meanwhile I had lost forty-five pounds in weight, and his medicine was doing me no good. I thought my time was about up Until a friend told Me that he knew of several cures of cases similar to mine by using Dodd's Kidney Pills, This gave me hope, though • I felt ashamed to let the doctor know that I had changed my medicine, however I was en- couraged by the help I got from the first box and so kept on.

In short I feel better than for years and perfectly cured. The successes of Dodd's Kidney Pills have been won in just such contests as the above described—in hopeless cases.

In hundreds of cases of Dropsy, Bright's disease, Diabetes • and Paralysis, when friends had given the sufferer up to die, Dodd's Kidney Pills have promptly saved the patient. With such power to cure in extreme cases,' can it be doubted that the small beginnings of these diseases will yield promptly to the virtues of Dodd's Kidney Pills? Ono on the Old Man.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of tiro mucous lining of the Eustachian 'Tube. When this tube gets in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed Deaf- ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothingbut an, inflamed con- dition of the mucous suraces.
