The Week's Commercial Snllunery.
Probable exports of gold at an early
date from New York are .being discussed.
Sight sterling is strong; at $4.871, and if
the high rates for money fn London eau -
gold is likely to be exported in
January. .The supply of gold in New
York, however, is large, and a good deal

Stocks of beet sugar in the United
Kingdom have declined still further to
1135,000 ton; but the situation here re-
mains mains unchanged. Refiners show no clis•
position to push purchases of raw grades,
and jobbers seem in no haste to secure
refined sugar.
Business in the wholesale circles at To -
yenta is moderately active. There is
same improverneut as compared with last
week, which is very encouraging but gen-
erally speaking it is not very marked. A
good business is noted in fancy goods
and notions for the boliday trade. There
3salso a fairly satisfactory trade in •wools
ens, groceries and hardware. The leather
trade is reported it: better condition. A
slumber of merchants are taking stock.
The year just ending has not been a very
satisfactot- one to the dry goods trade.
The changed couditious brought about by
the large departmental houses have been
ruinous to merchants of limited means.
in groceries and hardware there is a
change for the better, but it,cennot be
said that 1896 is a year of large profits.
Business is cut down very flue, and the
merchant who has come out abead may
.consider himself fortunate. Prices of the
leading staples are unchanged this week,
and remittances are fair. The money
market is easy with prime paper dis-
counted at 0 to 6i per cent. Cali loans in
limited demand owing to restriction in
speculation.
The trade conditions at Montreal have
undergone but little: variation within the
week. The lack of suow its most parts of
this province; and Eastern Ontario, is
proving a serious drawback to century
trade, though, strange to say. there has
been some fair sleighing to the South,
along the United States border. Collec-
tions are on the slow side. In city whole-
sale circles trade is seasonable quiet in
most lines, Groceries show a moderate
sorting distribution principally in the
Sner lines of holiday goods, but the de-
mand for staple lines is not very brisk at
the moment. Metals, oils, paints, glass,
etc., are all momentarily dull; the feature
of the hardware trade is the reduction of
45 cents a keg in eating's. Hides are easy
at last week's decliue, with light enquiry,.
and there is not much present trading; in
leather, but hoot and shoe manufacturers
report good spring orders, cousicterably iu
excess of last year it is stated, The colder
weather of the past few days has helped
sorting business in dry goods and cloth-
ing, but the fall as a whole has not been
i'avorable to the furriers, and continued
unfavorable reports of the European and
American markets for raw furs are eaus-
ing; buyers of these goods for export to
operate very cautiously. In the money
market the ruling,' rate for call money is
still 4 per cent., but there is probably
mot the sante amount of funds available,
and we bear of one pretty large bank call-
ingin their loans.

A TEACHER'S STORY.
THE HEALTH OF THOSE IN THE
PROFESSION FREQUENTLE
UNDERMIN1 D.
Thos. W. Crofer. Late rrinolpal of the At-
herton High School, Gives some Valuable
Advice to Bis Fortner Co -laborers in the
Seudentry Teaching Profession.
Mr, Thos. °refer, late principal of the
Alberton, P. E.• I., high school, has pas-
sed through an experience that will
prove interesting to thousands of others
engaged in the teaching profession
throughout the country, more espeolally
those whose health has been impaired by
overwork in crowded and often badly
ventilated schools, "Three years ago,"
says Mr. Crofer, "I assumed charge of
the high school at Albertan, anti found.
the pupils in my department in a rather
backward condition, as their former
teacher had to resign on account of i11 -
health. When I began work, however, I
was in excellent health, and although I
was never very fleshy, I was quite mus-
oular and athletic. I was a great lover of
outdoor exercise and sports, and was au
enthusiast over the game of football.
Anyone who has ever beheld a genuine
game of 'old Rugby' will know that it
is not at all a game for weaklings. I
merely state these facts to show that at
the time I took charge of the high school
I was capable of undergoing almost any
amount of bard labor. During the two
years of my servloe I labored very hard
in bringing my pupils to a high state of
proficiency, for I wished to have the
school in as prosperous n condition as
pnssiblc under my management, Besides
the close confinement in the school room
during the day, I generally studied until
twelve at night, in order to be well pie-
pared for entering on a college course
when my teaching days would be over,
The people at the hotel where I boarded
used to warn me against over -taxing my
strength, but I disregarded their kind ad-
vice. Towards the end of my second
year, however, I began to feel the effects
of my double work I had imposed upon
myself, My eyesight begun to fail rapid-
ly, and it was not long until I had to
oonsnit an eminent oculist who ordered
for me a pair of specially ground glasses.
He attributed the Wore of my eyesight
to excessive night reading, and forbade
ole read any more by lamplight. But
the weakness of nay eyes was not all. In-
somnia attacked me and I was unable to
sleep at night and used to toss about on
my bed until morning without getting
the slightest degree of rest. When I rose
in the morning it may he readily im-
agined I was in no fit condition to begin
my daily work. My appetite was so poor
that often I was enable to partake of
any breakfast, and this of course rendered
my eouditjon all tbe worse. I became so
thin and emaciated that my friends
thought I was doomed to death. At the
end of the school year I had become so
weak that I resigned my position, and
at that time it did look as if my days
on earth were numbered. I wont to the
country to give myself some chance to
reorult, and at the urgout advice of a
friend I began uatng Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. I remained on my brother's farm
for It whole year, during whioh time
used the Pink Pills, towards the end,
however, only taking them at intervals,
I hadnot been taking the Pink Pills
long before I began to experience benefit
from their use, and from the day I Bret
felt benefit I steadily progressed towards
reoovery. I was able to take sound,
refreshing sleep, my appetite became ex.
celient and my weight increased so much
that friends whom I had not seen for
some time scarcely renognized me at
first sight. I am completely restored
physically. and I can take heavy lifts or
engage in any kind of bard work with-
out feeling the least weariness, and this
improved condition of affairs I owe to
the excellence of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. My eyesight is also gradually re-
turning and I hope ere long to be able to
disoard my glasses. My story, which I
fear has been somewhat tedious, shows
how many young men and many young
women also have their health shnttered
by sticking too closely to the teaching
profession. However there is an effective
remedy within the reach of all. This
remedy which I have such pleasure in
recommending is Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills,"
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new
blood, build up the nerves, and thus
drive disease from the system, In hund-
redo of cases they have cured after all
other medicines have failed, thus estab-
lishing the claim that they are a mar-
vel among the triumphs of modern medi-
cal science. The genuine Pink Pills are
sold only in boxes, bearing the fall trade
mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Page People." Protect yourself front
imposition by refusing any pill that does
nob bear the registered trade mark
around the box.
Duty of Church Mena bership.
The duty of church membership is
plain, and is an obligation of gratitude
and love and life service. The joy of it
is the joy of pardon and peace and hope of
glory; the joy of salvation and loving de-
votion. To confess Christ before men in
His church should be the very first desire
of a• new disciple. The church is His
spiritual home and Christians are its
brethren, and its work is Christ service.
Fever and Ague, and Bilious Derange.
meats are positively cured bythe use of
Parmelee's Pills. They not only cleanse
the stomach and bowels, from all bilious
matter, but they open the excretory ves•
sels, causing them to pour copious effu-
sions front the blood into the bowels, after
which the corrupted mass is thrown out
by the natural passage of the body. They
are used as a general family medicine
with the best results.

It Stands to Ileetaon,
That a man who gives his whole and
undivided attention to one partioular
subject should acquire a greater pro-
ficiency in it, than one whose energies
are expended in different directions,
This is true of the medical superintend-
ent, and his staff of assistants, at Lake -
burst Institute,in their treatment of alco-
holism and kindred diseases, Every fresh
ease adds to the experience of years, and
to the number of those successfully
treated. There is no sudden and danger-
ous deprivation of liquor; there are no
bolts and bars; the patient gives up the
drink habit almost unconsciously, and,
from that moment, takes the first step
on his upward career, oommenoing life
afresh under brighter auspices. For
