The Week's Commercial Summary. The net gold balance of the United States treasury is $140,588,000. The stooks of wheat at Toronto are 35,700 bushels, against 141,000 bushels a year ago. The earnings of Canadian Pacific for the first week of August were $487,000, an increase of $64,000. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada decreased 164,000 bushels last week, and the total is now only 17,650,000 bushels, as against 46,429,000 a year ago. The amount afloat to Europe increased 160,000 bushels last week, and the total is 12,400,000 as against 18,240,000 bushels a year ago. The total visible with amount in transit to Europe is 30,050;000 bushels as against 64,069,000 bushels a year ago. At elontreai the trade situation shows little variation for the past several weeks. There is, however, a feeling of more eon- Sdence hi the future apparent in a good many quarters, and an expectation of a fair autumn trade, with gradual general improvement in btisinese conditions. No complications have followed the •three Wholesale failures of Last week; and gen- eral remittances are qualified as fair. The large amount of money going into dairying sections for cheese, should help matters in this respect. General wholesale business at Toronto this week has been fair. A large autumn trade is almost a certainty. The heavy bay crop and large yield of grains in this Province, combined with good prices, will inspire confidence. Outward shin- ments of xnerchandise are satisfactoey. Trade � vi • orh the Northwest thwest S • u good,and the margin of profit seems likely to be larger than usual. 'Manufacturers are In good spirete, and payments are better than u •ua] The leading staples are firm as to prices. The exports of wheat will be larger than usual this seasone.wing to shortages in Europe; pe and the abunti- ant hay erop mut n ecees:erily he bene- ficial to dairying insert its. The cheese market is in noel shape, with increased exports and firmer prices in Liverpool. Failures in July were smaller than in any month of which there existe record; and while in classified form the report by months covers not quite four years, It is known that in every month of 1593 failures were larger in cunount. In com- mercial disasters, therefore, we go back at once to 1892, the most prosperous year on record, for a monthly return as favorable. In one month (September, 1894) the aggregate of defaulted liabili- ties was but $7t'0,000 larger, and the amount of trading liabilities was nearly $700,000 smaller than east month. In no month of which there is record were the manufacturing liabilities smaller; and while July is not ordinarily a month of numerous or large failures, the returns cannot be regarded as less than extreme- ly favorable. Here and There. There's a good deal besides luck in winning at cards. The record breaker tries to beat bis way through life. The iceman enjoys his cold snap during the hottest weather. Everybody has a calling acquaintance with the telephone girl. It is better to have sold at cost than never to have sold at all. The man who borrows trouble pays it back to every one he meets. 'When the sermon is long and dry "man wants but little hear below." "Pretty is as pretty does" is a very consoling motto for homely people. No wonder we hate to pay the hotel clerk good dollars for poor quarters. A tramp does not consider a warm bite a desirable snap when a dog gives it to bim. Hating others is like pinching our- selves and expecting them to feel the hurt. It is not always a plain face that keeps a girl from marrying. Sometime It is wisdom. Even though you write on both sides of a question, you still should write on but one side of the paper. Some women say that bloomers are the proper thing, and some say the skirt, and some split the difference. Jinks says he likes to see the new moon because its the only quarter he looks upon that his wife doesn's grab. One reason why so many couples view matrimony in a different light after they are married is because they turn the gas up a little higher. They Never Fail.—Mrs. S. M. Bough- ner, Langton, writes: "For about two years I was troubled with Inward Piles, but by using Parmelee's Pills, I was com- pletely cured, and although four years have elapsed since then they have not re- turned."

From Her Childhood the Suffered From Heart Troubles Doctors Said Nothing Could be Done for Her, and That Her Death at Any ,lloanent Would Not Sur- prise Them. From the Herald,. Stratford. "If the making of books there is no end," it has been said, and the swine claim migglt be set up in respect of the making of testimonials in, favor of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Wonderful as are scan of the statements published in the newspapers as to the aures effected in all parts of the country, fresh evidence proves the half has not been told, Were le not for a false sense of delicacy which a great many people entertain in regard to such platters, the columns of the press would be literally teeming with grateful acknowledgments of benefit derived from and permanent cures effected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Hale People. it is quite within the mark to say that there is no • other medicine offered the public that can at all com- pare with Dr, Williams' Pint: Pills, and there is not a corner in this wide Dom- inion in which their virtues have not, been proved. A cure whiob recently came to the knowledge of a representative of the'Herald is deserving of being widely kuown. It is au instance of heart trouble that babied the skill of a number of physicians, soave of whom positively re- fused to treat the patient on the ground that it was no use, The subject bf the aflliction referred to is the wife of a highly respected and well to-do farmer in the township of Logan, near the village of Dublin. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Green, are firm believers in this efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and for very goad reasons. Mrs. Green has suffered every- thing but death from a weak heart, the trouble having afflicted her since early childhood. On several occasions she has been so low that it was not thought pose hlc for her to recover. Her greatest trouble often arose from exhaustion or a sudden start, and at such tienes her heart seemed to cease its throbbing and the breathing was fitful and labored. Doctor's medicine seemed to have no effect what- ever. She was advieed by one physician that all that could be done was to keep her strength up, and it was with a view to strengthening her system, and with no hope that her heart would be bene- fitted, that she began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She bad not been taking them long• however, when there was an unmistakable relief from the trouble that had made her whole life miserable. During the past summer sbe hoe used Pink Pills freely, and has en- joyed better health than for many years before, and has been able not only to do her household work, but also many of the out door chores that fall to the lot of a farmer's wife. Tho different physicians who have treated her have frequently told her husband that they would not be surprised to bear of her death at any moment, but she is to -day a strong wo- man, enjoying better health than she bas done for years. Both Mrs. Green and her husband feel grateful for the great benefit she bas received from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and spare no words in sounding their praises to ever - one who enquires what has wrought suoh a wonderful change in Mrs. Green's health and spirits. In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles, Ioeumotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc., Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are superior to all other treatment. They are also a speoiflo for the troubles whioh make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rich glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
