TETJRSDAY, DEC, 29, 1897, The Week's Commercial Summary.. The Imperial Bankhas opened a branch at South Edmonton, N. W. T. The stock of wheat at Toronto is 36,- 474 bushels, as against 82,115 last week and 178.205 bushels a year ago. Grand Trunk Railway earnings from November 22nd to 80: 1897, $582,902; 1896, 6535,024. Increase for 1897, $97,- 878. Stocks of -wheat at Port Arthur and Fort William are 1,109,603 bushels, as ,against 1,481,714 bushels at the corre- sponding date of last year. Grain exporters continue doing a large trade in Ontario wheat and prices rule steady: They aro paying 81 to 82e high freights. The demand for oats and peas at Ontario points is also good,the former selling at 28e and the latter at 44c high freights. A despatch from Halifax says :—A seam of coal found near Sydney, N.S., by E. T..5lasely, a well-known prospec- tor, will. it is believed, double the pre- sent extensive coal area of Cape Breton County. It is the most important dis- coovvery of coal in the county for a long e. Wholesale trade at Toronto continues most satisfactory. The movement is larger than usual at this sessou of the year, but after the next two weeks gene- ral business is likely to slacken. Stock taking is engaging the attention of some merchants, and until the end of the year it will be pretty general. Heavy lines of dry goods, furs, etc., are in moderate demand. The visible supply of wheat in the United. States and Canada increased 1,189,000 bushels last week, and the total is 111„845,000 1•ushels, as against 86,81`3 bushels a year ago. The amount afloat to Europe increased 1,681,000 bushels last week. and the total is 82,- 920 bushels as against 82,960,000 bushels a year ago. Combined the total is 08,- 795,000 bushels as against 89,272,000 a year ago, a decrease of 20,507,000 bushels, Providing a suitable law were adopted, it would certainly be better to have a general insolvency law applicable to the whole country than to have local laws, differing widely in different provinces, It would be worth while making an effort to frame an efficient insolvency law, even if for no other reason than to attain uniformity in matters of this nature throughout the Dominion, . , Mani- toba has better laws than many other divisions of the Dominion in regard to insolvency. and so far as this province is +concerned there has not been so mueh dissatisfaction with the law as there was a, few years ago. The efforts made through the provincial laws to abolish preforenees, though not entirely satisfac- tory, have materially improved the situ- ation so far as the province is concerned. With some further atneiiciments the local laws could he made very satisfactory.— Commercial. Keep Kivard's Liniment in the House. Here and There.

D -O -D -D -S THE PECULIARITIES OF THIS WORD. No Name on Earth So Famous —No Name More Widely Imitated. No name on earth, !mishaps, is so well known, more peculiarly constructed of mire widely imitated than the word DODD. It possesses a peculiarity that makes it stand out prominently and fast- ens it in the memory. It contains four letters, but only two letters of the alpha- bet. Everyone knows that the first kid- ney remedy ever patented or sold in pill form was nand DODI)'S. Their discov- ery startled ane medical profession the world over, and revolutionized the treat- ment of kidney diseases. • No imitator has ever succeeded in eonstraoting a name possessing the pecu- liarity of DODD, though they nearly all Adopts names as steelier as possible in. sound and construction to this. Their foolishness prevents them re liming that attempts to imitate increase .she fame of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Why is the name "Dodd's Kidney Pills" imitated? As well ask why are diamonds and gold imitated. Because diaxnouds are the moat precious gems, gold the most precious metal. Dodd's Kidney Pills are imitated because they are the most valuable medicine the world has ever known. No medicine ever oured Bright's disease exoopt Dodd's Kidney Pills, No other medicine has cured as many oases of Rheumatism, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Lumbago, Dropsy, Fe- male Weakness, and other kidney dis- eases as Dodd's Kidney Pills bave. Itis universally known that they have never failed to cure these diseases, hence they are so widely' and shamelessly imitated. To Prevent a Black Eye. There is nothing to compare with a tincture or a strong infusion of capsicum annuum, mixed with an equal balk of mucilage or gum arable and with the addition of few drops of glycerine. This should be painted all over the bruised surface with a camel's hair pencil and allowed to dry on, a second or third coating being applied as soon as the first is dry. If done as soon as the injury Is inflicted the treatment will invariably prevent the blackening of the bruised tissue. The same remedy has no e qual in rheumatio, sore or stiff nook. Messrs. Northrop & Lyman Co. are the proprietors of Dr. Thomas' Eclectrlc Oil, which is now being sold in immense quantities throughout the Dominion, It is welcomed by the suffering invalid everywhere with emotiomrs of delight, becauseitbanishes pain and gives instant relief. This valuable specific for almost "every ill that flesh is heir te," is valved by the sufferer as more precious than gold. It is the elixir of life to many a wasted frame. To the farmer it is indis- pensable, and it slmonld be in every house. Tarring, and Feathering. In a German journal the origin of the English and American practice of tarring and feathering is traced to the boister- ous Bishop of Halberstadt, who, being at war with the elector Palatine in 1628, caused all the nuns and friars of two monasteries to be turned into a large hall naked, their bodies being oiled and pitched; and in this situation they were obliged to tumble promiscuously among a vast quantity of feathers, from beds stripped for the purpose, and thus decor. ated were turned out for the amusement of the multitude.—Weekly Mercury. Free and easy expectoration, immed- iately relieves and frees the throat and lungs from viscid phlegm, and a medicine that promotes this is the best medicine to use for coughs, colds, inflammation of the lungs and all affections of the throat and chest. This is precisely what Bickle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup is a specific for, and wherever used it has given unbound- ed satisfaction.
