TEE EXETER ADVOCATE. TIICTRSDA.Y, DEO. 2, 1897. The Week's COMMerelal. Stualmary. B. G. Dun ae Co's weekly review of trade in the United States says; Colder and more stormy weather, so long needea to accelerate distribution of winter goods, has materially helped in some quarters, and the resulting improvement in retail trade is mentioned in nearly every nor- thern despatch this week, so that orders to 1111 stooks have been encouraging, and in some breaches the inultitude of demands for immediate delivery show that the distribution to consumers has already gone ranch beyond the eepecta- Bon of dealers. But this is not yet the general rule, and with many complaints of delayed trade in other quarters, there still remains the extensive shrinkage caused by lever and quarantine at the South. Englishmen are now admitting that they entertain geve fears on account of the low range of maaufacturing costs at- tained in the United States. The engin- eering strike bas directed attention to the fact thee English employers /40'78 not the same control over their workshops and workerthat prevails in the *United States, and there is a general fear a oorapetition from this country. But thia fear is not alone on account of the differ- ence in the two coutatries u xelations between employers and workmen, as the following from J. S. Jeans, former mere- tary of the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain will ehow: "The United States laave now attaizied to such a low tong() of manufacturing costs as no European conntry oans camel, sette prob- ably none oan rival." The business situation. at Toronto is slightly better, if anything. Dealers in wholesale departments report liberal seders in nearly all lines, and speak en- oouragingly of tbe future. Travelers for fancy goods are doing an unusually large trade, and shipping departments are 'Working hard to keep up with orders. In heavy dry goods there is an increasing =oven:tent, while the demand is fairly active for nsen's furnIshirigs'hosiery, lima the like. Business in leather %goad, and orders increasing for boots and &ayes, rubbers, eto. Groceries, hardware and -metals are also selliag well. Prices as a rule are firm with the tendency upwards. Faieures are agate unimportant, and in strikitig contrast with a year ago. Pay - extents are good. There is a large amount or grain going forward for shipment to tbe old country, including casts, the de- mand for which seems keen, with an ad- vance in prices. At Montreal the distribution of gen- eral merchandise eountrywards may still be called active for the season. The carry - tug capacity of the river steamers has been pretty well taxed on recent trips, and some of these boats, it is reported have not L. .en able to take all the freight offering. The amount of goods moving by rail is also larger than usual at the season, and thougb winter ran rates went Into force on Monday last, the companies have made a concession hi the matter of dried fruits, etc., owing to the late ar- rival of large shipments new unloading In port, and which they have agreed to distribute at summer rates. Boot and shoe manufacturers report large orders for spring wear, the most liberal for some years, and some of the houses are reported to be indifferent about the booking of repeat erders for fall goods, which have also been coming in more freely owing to tbe recent change of 'weather. Hides have been advanced this week, and with the prospect of a better demand for leather, and comparatively light stocks, a stiffening of values in black leather is not improbable, General collections continue to be favorably spoken of, and in tbe money market there is nothing new. the general quota- tion for call funds being 4 per cent.

The Phoenicians were the first to ereoe fortified cities an the Mediterranean Sea. The Greek Emperors erected strong walls from the Greek Arebipelago to the Danube to protect the peninsula against the barbarians.

The five principal fortresses in Bul- garia are at Rustchuk, Silistria and. Widden, on the Danube; 'Varna on the Black Sea, mod Shumia, in the interior. Offa's Dike was a defensive wall built by the Romans against the Welsh. It was an earthen fortification, 118 miles long, and entirely cut off Wales from England. In the second century a formidable line of fortifications was coaetructed by the Roman emperors from the *Timer Darn lobe to the 'Upper Rhine to keep out tbe Germans. The eiV and the tower evhich the sons of Noah proposed to build were the ear - lest recorded instances of fortification. The tower, in this case, leas usvamobted- ly a citadel. Long-range cannon have effected a considerable modification in defensive works, just as long-range rifles and smokeless powder will work a revolution lia military tactics. Trajan and susequent Emperors built a line of walls from the Black Sea to the Caspian to protect Asia Minor, and another line from the intrenohment to the River Euphrates. When Darius made bis expedition against the Scythians, while conquering a road round the Black Sea, he found etooltades very generally employed as a defense by these people. The fortifications of Vicksburg' At - ante and other points in the Southwere of earthworksantstily constructed, though the positions chosen were generally of great natural strength. The principal fortresses of Austro- Hungary are Cracow, Przemysl, Raris- bnrg, Arad, Terneswar, Komare, Peter- wardein, Buda-Pesth, Pols and Trieste, the two last naval harbors as well.

According to the commercial agenoy reports irons Messrs.. Dun and Brad- street, of NEM York, the general trade conditions show no merkea verintion. In some lines there is a moderate im- prevenient in demand, as cooler weather in some directions bus helped retail trade to a noticeable extent, Better prices loave prevailed na wheat, oats, corn, bides and leather, syrup, turpentine, etc. The con- sumption of iron and. steel is increasing so rapidly that an advance in prices is probable. Railway earuings for the third quarter of tbe -year lead us to anticipate fairly satisfactory net returns, and the reports of a large proportion of the rail- way companies in the United States point to a more satisfactory general re- sult. The commercial failures in the United States far the week just ended. amount to 285, as compared with 308 in the corresponding week a year ago. HOT WATER SHOES. A Gernunt inventor Places a Heating Do - vice in the Heel. Cold feet are an affliction common to the human race. The oold-feet brigade may take heart, however, for a benefac- tor has arisen in the person of Paul Woaneberger, of Geutie, near Dresden, who has invented what he calls "Heat- able Shoot," says the New York World. Tius novel remedy for cold feet consists of it tiny boiler and furnace in the heel and sole of the shoe, which causes a con- tinuous circulation of warm wat,3r tircuud the extreinitios. Within tbe heel tbe inventor bee placed a glowing sub, stems similar in ite nature to that wed in the familiar Japanese hand -warmers The soles of the shoos are hollowed our for the reception of a rubber bag covered with asbestos, containing the water that keeps the feet warm. Whenothe owner of a pair of heatable shoes wishes to go out itto the colcl and sloppy street he opens the receptacle iia the heel of the shoe, lights the punk - like substance, oloses the perforated band that holds it in place, and then sallies forth to bid defiance to his old enemy, the chills. There is no clanger of the feet being uncomfortably warmed, for the water cannot be heated by the tiny furnace in the heel to heat more than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The inventor has provided against the bursting of the little boiler by the insertion of t* small safety valve. The shoes are a trifle heavier than tbe ordinary ones. The Sole is but very little theater than that of the wet weather shoe saki by New York dealers. The inveutor is at work on a 114W OM that will be no heavier than the cannery one, P01111,1GN.

A LIFE DESTROYER. Have You Ever Suffered Froni/ Rheumatism? Rheumatism is nothing more or less eau an inflammation of t e fibrous tissaes which are found around and near the joints of the bodes Wben this t ssue becomes suddenly inflamed with the joints ted, swollen and tender, accom- panied by a high fever, it is called , acute or inflammatory rheumatism. But when the lameness creeps up gradually, as the result of a slight in- flammation of this tissue, the heat slow- ly tifyiug up the naturist oil which lubri- cates the joints, you have otteonio rheu- matism. Exposure to cold or wet is the imme- diate cause of distress in either case, though of tourse debility a4 impurity of the blood will augnient the sufferings and render you more liable to an attack. Thousands of rheutuaties cured by Trask's Magnetic Ointment, tbousands of people have informed us that they have been completely cured of rheuma- tism by the use of Trask's Magnetic Ointment. Dr. .1.

The krakn was one of the sea monsters of old, and if all the stories told about its wondraue size and doings are true it overshadowed the serpent as much as the latter does the common garter snake. Dandelaus declares that tbis marine giant caused, tidal waves by swallowing a goodly pare of the waters of the ocean and then belohing them out again. He also inakee mention of the fact that its gigantic horny beak was often mistaken for mouritain peaks suddeniy shoved into sight by the interpal convulsions of the earth. Bishop Pontoppidan, a truthful (t) and saintly member of , the Copen- hagen royal airsdemy, is rowel more con- servative in his estimates at its size, giv- ing it as his opinion that they were sel- dom found more than the half of an Italian mile in length and not larger in diameter than the cathedral at The Hague." Be also says that its body was fre- quently mistaken by sailors for an island, so that people landed upon it and were engulfed in a maelstrom of water when the creature sank to'its hidden ocean den," Other authorities testify tbat its beak from the oyes to the point was longer than the mainmast of a man- of-war."
