In the United States there is no im- provement in the general trade situa- tion. The crops of svheat, corn, and cotton appear likely to be quite aver- age crops, despite rumours to the con- trary, and the predicted low estimate IS not regarded as of any account.

TIIE FIELD OF 001111ERCE Some Item* of Interest to the Busy Business Man. The world's shipments of wheat last week were 5,800,000 bushels. The grain crops in Ontario, according to reports by the Great North-Western Telegraph, Company, are failly satisfac- tory, svith quality above the average. The amount of ;heat in store at Port Arthur and Fort William is 2,075,- Q040 bushels as compared with 2,105,287 bushels last week and 246,557 a year ago. The gold. reserve of the United States Treasury is now 104,000,000.1 This is due to deposits of nearly *20,000,900 in oghaoldogbof y the g e braebo nke:oofk. Nsmx New York e - An advance in prices of wheat has taken placo within the pest few days The advance has been stimulated by un- favorable reports of United States crops and prospects of a wet harvest in. Brit- ain. The visible supply of grain in the United States and Canada increased 399,- 000 bushels last week, and the total is 47,142,000 buthels as ageiast 39,229,000 bushels a year ago. Duxuag the cones- poudiug Nveek of last year there was a decrease of 1,254,000 bushels.

The catch of salm- on up to date has been miserably poor, some boats coming in with a few fish son* with none at all., The fish are reported, large, which is a had sign sa cub' in the season. On the wlaole tbe outlook is not. a good one Tor a big run. The demand from England is even better than last year. In 1850 there were 66 miles of rail- way la operation in all Canada which increased. 2,065 miles in 3.860 and 2,278 in 1867, when the provinces were united. In the next. ten years there was an increase of 8,304 in the mileage. In 1888 there were 12,181 miles in op- eratien and in 1895 the niuies of real - way in operation had inereaeed to 13,977. Thus, since confederation (1867) tnere has been an increase of 18,909 miles of railway in operation./ In 18,38 the paid Up capital amounted to $110,471,190, ant in 1895 to a894,040,559.

Lloyd steaaner Fuerst Bismarck, bound to New York, the ma,ster of which vessel offered to take them back again, but they declined. Owing to strong winds they were driv- en northward to the banks of New- foundland, and on July 1 they spoke to the schooner Leader and requested the master to report them all well. On July 7 they encountered a heavy gale from the west and had great difficulty in keeping the boat free, the sea con- tinually • breaking on board, keeping one of them bailing. The gale contin- ued with more or ls force until9 p.m. of July 10, when a heavy sea struck and capsized the Fox, throwing .thein into the water. After a few nnnute,s they .succeeded in righting her and get- ting on board and bailing her out. All their provisions, anchor, cooking uten- sils, signal lights, and several other articles which were not lashed to the boat were lost. After the accident they: suffered severely from. the cold, having to remain in their wet clothing. Shortly afterward the weather moder- ated and the wind continuing fair they proceeded eastward. On July 15 they -boarded the Norwegian bark Cito, from Quebec for Pembroke, and were sup- plied with Water and. provisions, and again, when about 400 miles west of Scilly, on July 24, they spoke the Nor- wegian bark Eugene, from Halifax for Swansea, and obtained from her a small supply of bread and water. Both men are in good health and look area- therbeaten by long exposure. They pulled tsvo pair of sculls during the day and at night kept watch of 3 1-2 home' intervals, one man pulling while the other man slept. TSETSE FLY DISEASE. Dr. Bruce Says That the Insect Aet0 OnIy ae a Carrier or the Germs. Surgeon -General David. Bruce, of the English Army, has recently made a re- port on the tsetse fly disease, called "nagana" by the natives of Zululand. The .disease attacks horses, dogs, mon- keys and. cattle, it is always fatal, ex- cept te oattle, and. few of them recover from the disease. Tee disease i4 char- acterized by a fever, a rapid destrue- tion of the red. blood, corpuscles, ex- treme emaciation, and. a swelling, of the neck, abdomen and extremities. Dr. Bruce spent some time in Africa, and made many experiments with the tsetse fly, He found. that the disease did not necessarily follow the bite of the fly, and. never did result from such) bites unless the fly, had. previously bit- ten a diseased animal. He concluded that the fly serves merely. as a means whereby the virus from an infected an- imal could 1* communicated to one that was healthy. Microscopical exa,minations of the blood. of diseased animals show* tha presence of minute animalcule°, which, when injected into the blood of a heal- thyanimal, caused the disease. Having arrived at this point in studying the disease, it is possible that science wiU soon dissever a remedy that will prove efficacious. FOUR THOUSAND DROWNED. A. Tidal Wave lave Riles in Length Over. witches Part of Kiang Sn, China. A despatch from Shanghai says News of a terrible disaster, involving great loss of life, has just reached here. A tidal wave estimated to have been about five miles in length swept in from the sea on last Sunday and. in- undated the coast of Haithau, in the northern province of Kiang Su., The damage done was very great t Many villages were destroyed, and it is esti- mated. that at least 4,000 people were drowned. In addition, an immense num- her of cattle perished, the rice fields, were submerged anti almost totally de- stroyed with the result that a. famine is feared in that district during the coming autumn. lIairhau. is situated opposite Yu Clain Island, on the coast of Kiang Su, which is on the Whang Hai of the Yellow Sea, The surface is mostly level, which may account for the great lOSS of life, Kiang Su. is one of the most fertile provinces of the em- pire and exports more silk than any other part of China.

The United States wheat crops do not promise such a good yielcb as had. been anticipated, and harvests both in Great 13ritain end Russia, are likely to be below previous estimates owing- to wet weather. The yield of wheat in Manitoba will be much less than in 1895, but the shortage will be made up by present; large stoeks in Fort William and westwards. Remit- tances ALM fall short of anticipations, but the demand for currency Mr crop purposes helps to keep circulation out. .Discounts ere unchanged at 6 to 6 1-2 per cent. The demand for van loans on speculative accouat is light. The bulk of the trading on the Stook Ex- change being confinea to investment ac- counts. There is a furtber deoline in leading speculative shares, chiefly in Cable, Toronto Railway, Canadian Pa- cific, Postal and Assurance stocke. The New York synilleate in foreign exchange bus prevented gold exports, but this ex- pedient haa so far failed to restore con- fideece, and American stooks euntinue inactive and depressed. In perhaps one or two lines of whole- sale trade at 'Montreal there is a little more doing, but business as a whole partakes of the usual mid -summer quiet character. Grocermen report orders as a little freer in a general sorting way, with general values undis- tuxbed. Sugars are fairly steady at last; decline, and the Japan market for teas is reported rather firmer; con- tinued cutting is reported in quotations for new pack of vegetables. In dry goods. orders are fairly numerous, but as a rule tbey are small, and there seems to be a general resolve to make wholesalers carry the stock. Boot and shoe orders are light, mixoh behind those of last year at this time, and con- tinued quietness ie reported in leather, but values are well filled, and it Is claimed any fair demand. would cause an advance. The moderate seasonable receipts of hides are tieing absorbed by tanners at steady prices. Oils, paints, metals, cements, etc., are all dull. Last week's shipments of cheese and butter were unusually large, and prices have undergone some little improvement within the week, but considerable fur- ther addvance svoulcl be necessary to satisfy producers. It is now fairly es- tablished that the hay crop in this district, as a whole, will be below an average, but the quality is good. The money market is unchanged, call money is quoted. at 5 per cent., and in fair sup- ply. TROUBLED TURKEY. The /remelts Financial Dilliculties-tavil Servants Who Ask for Their Salaries are Arrested. A despatch from Constantinople says: -The financial difficulties of the Gov- ernment are more acute. The officials on the civil list have not received their salaries for seven months past, and when some of them complained they were arrested. The Sultan is payinig some of the officials out of his private purse, an.d the negotiations in progress with London bankers to capitalize the Cyprus tribute have been broken off, owing to the excessive demands of the Turkish Government, whish counted up- on getting from this source the sum of £450,000 with which to replenish its coffers - Despatches received here from Da- masous report that there have been sev- eral serious fights in the alauran, Pro- vince of Syria, between the Turks and the Druses. The Turks claim to have won a viotory, but independent reports represent that the issue was doubtful, with heavy iosses on both sides. It is now feared that 40,000 Turkish troops, will be required to suppress the Druse rebellion, whieh broke out in June last with renewed vigoar. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria) THE WHALES SHOWED FIGHT. — Desperate Attach on the Steamer Semi. nole-All on Board Terribly Fright- ened -A Few Injured. A despatch from Jaeksonville, says: -"With great dents in the plates on each side, and with some of the de- licate machinery in the engine -room disarranged, the steamer Seminole of the Clyde Line. arrived bere from New York on Tuesday. The damage to the vessel was the result of an encounter with monster whales. Soon after leav- ing Sandy Hook., 1. E. Morton, the purser, says the vessel ran into a school of whales. Soon six of the monsters and she crashed into one of there. The im- pact immediately broke the whale's back Tin immediately broke the wbale's back and it began to spout blood.- The offi- cers and passengers witneved a re- markable sight. As if in a rage, the five other whales drew ofi a short dis- tance and 'dashed madly against the Vessel, causing her to tremble from stem to stern. Tho whales repeate,d this performance four tanes, and at each collision the Seminole quivered as if about to go to the hottom. Many of the passengers were hurled to the deck and bruised. Several Wo- men fainted. So terrible WaS the shock that some of the furniture in the sa- loon was broken from its fastenings. The whales were badly injured by the collision, and after the fourth rush drew away, pouting leood. They tried to come again, but. move.' slewly be- cause of thi eir njuries, and the vessel soon diatanced them. It was feared that the Seminole was badly damaged, but examination shows only the super- ficial injuries mentioned. The passen- gers say the whales were nearly 100 feet in. length. - AN IMPENDING WAR. Troubles Ahead l'or Great Rennin -She Calk Place No Reliance on Germany. The Post, London, published the other day a lone''article on England's rela- tions withGermany, in the course of which it says: -"The maintenance of British rights in America, Africa, and Asia may, at any time involve the 'ne- oessity of fighting America, France, end Russia, It behooves us therefore to consider our relations with other powers. It is a feet that in January the question of hew best to fight the British navy was seriously considered at Berlin, and the plan of a campaign against England was worked out by strategist most competent to deal with that problem.

A despatch from Pictou, N.S. says : - A terrible triple drowning accident here on Friday had for its victims three brothers, the only sons of John Brown, painter. Mr. Brown and his sons-A1- exan.der, aged 21; John, aged 14, and Donald, aged. 11 -were crossing the har- bor in. a sailboat, which was overturn- ed by a squeal. All got hold of the boat, but she continued to turn over, and the three boys, unable to hold on all went to the bottom. Their father was rescued in an exhausted condition. Ile-" I fear the worst." She -"What's happened, George?" "Your father has paid back that $10 he borrowed." Savo Shwa Improved Rapidly, and AmNow Completely Cured—. So Says Mr. David Reid, of Oliesloy, Ont. What xis come to humanity from a disordered liver! Henry Ward Beecher has said that it was impossible for a man to hold correct spiritual views if hie liver was out of order. The liver Is so inmortsait a part of the mechan- ism of mart that when it ceases to work with ease the whole man is unable to do his work aright. Can we not appeal to thousands, nay, tens of thousands. for a verification of this fact? Cer- tainly it is, that Mr. David Reid, of Chesley, Ont., felt that the enjoyment of life had been taken from him, through the unhealthy condition of his liver. For ten years he says he was troubled with liver complaint and dys- pepsia. Employing his own language: "At times my later was so tender / could not bear it pressed or touched from the outside. Had tried a great many remedies without any benefit. Was compelled to drop my work, and being worse than usual, I decided as 2. final resort to try South American Nervine, which had been recommended to me by friends who had been cured by it. I got a, bottle from AreSsapood- eve, local druggist, and colemenced taking according to directione. Before I had taken half a bottle I was able to go to work again. and I have im- Proved steadily since. I caa tonselene tiously recommend South American Nervine to any suffering from dystpep.- Eta or liver complaint." This is afra Reid's story as he tells it itt his own words.
