It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

oneplfenented by the Czar —A Determined
Effort to Improve it—A L:u•gc Vote
Will be Peet lei tete Estimates.
A despatch from London, says:—Since
the Czar complimented the "very fine
escort," which the Channel squadron af-
forded him in crossing from Portsmouth
to Cherbourg increased interest bas
been taken in the condition of the Bri-
tish navy, Mr. Goschen, First Lord. of
the Admiralty, has been devoting much
thought during the recess to the whole
question of naval defence, and he is
credited with the intention, an next
year's naval estimates of very.consider-
ably increasing the sum at present pro-
vided for subsidizing merchant vessels
to act as armed cruisers in time of war.
The }i present
amountstaartfor this
purpe is £48,700, and rumor leas it
tliat the sum will be increased to at
least £80,000 in order to allow of nine
more vessels participating in the sum
annually set aside. Among the new
conditions imposed will be not merely
an increase in tee number of ships, but
greater efficiency in theirmanning and
equipment. It is reported that the
price to be paid for the new first class
cruisers is £446,000 each.. The highest
tender was Messrs. Armstrong's, their
price being about £500,000, evidently
s'bowing that they did not want the

THE FIELD OF COIIIIIERCE,
Some Items of Interest to the Busy
Business Man.
The world's visible supply of wbeat
increased over 6,300,000 bushels during
the past week.
The 'earnings+ of the Grand Trunk
Railway are more satisfactory, the in-
crease for the first week October be-
ing $43,782.
The stocks of wbeat at Port Arthur
and Fort William are steadily declin-
ing until now they are leas than at
this time a year ago. The figures are
1,044,000 bushels as against 1,220,000
bushela s a year ago.
The imports of gold from Britain con-
tinue. It is estimated that about 0,-
000,000
5;000,000 is on the way to New York. Ow-
ing to the heavy decreases in bullion in
Bank of England, some predict an ad-
vance in the discount rate this week.
The October Government report es-
timates the yield of wheat in the
United States at 11.9 bushels per acre,
as compared with 13.7 bushels last
year. The total production its plac-
ed at 412,000,000 bushels. The Amer-
ican Agrioulturiat places the yield at
470,000,000 bushels as against 460,000,000
bushels '
ushe s m 1895.
A match has just been invented by
an English genius which promises to
become a. formidable rival to the pre-
sent match in general use. The idea
of the invention is based on the plan
of rolling up paper and lighting at a
flame already in existence. The paper
is immersed 111 wax, stearine and sim-
ilar substances, and burns with a light,
smokeless and odorless flame. Cut
into match lengths it is dipped into
phospborous wax, like the common wax
match. The invention is regarded as
a timely one, as the wood used in the
making of matches is constantly grow-
ing more scarce and costly.
There is rather a more cheerful feel-
ing apparent in Montreal business
circles. The movement of merchandise
is somewhat freer, though it can hard-
ly be called brisk, and some houses re-
port money as coming in a little better,
though improvement in this respect is
not general. Cheese shipments last
week were heavy, over 100,000 boxes,
and they are likely to continue so for
the remaining four or five weeks of
open navigation; the market in this
line, as well as butter, shows steadi-
ness. In staple groceries there is a
better general distribution; sugars are
again a point weaker, teas show a ten-
dency to advance. especially Ceylons
and Japans. The Avlona, the first di-
rect fruit steamer, has arrived with
a full (ergo of currants and Valencia
raisins, in both of which lines there
is a strong and rather excited market.
A fair seasonable sorting business is
being done with country dry goods
dealers; the general run of city retail-
ers complain of some dulness, and there
is no question of the fact that business
is becoming more centralized in the
large departmental stores, to the de-
triment of the retailer of moderate cali-
bre. The tendency of the hide market
has continued upwards, and dealers are
paying a cent more for green hides,
h'•cpeleins are also higher. Leather men
sole
established an advance of a cent insole
this week, and for splits firmer figures
are demanded. Wool remains rather
dull. Metals and hardware are mov-
ing more freely do moderate lots; quo-
tations for Canada plates are put. up
:en cents a box. In the paint line
glass is held firmly at last week's rise,
and turpentine is again stronger. Some
fair ,sized transactions are reported in
cements, with larger receipts. In the
money market there bas been no re-
cent change.
The trade situation at Toronto is ap-
parently without change. The steady
advancing prices of grain tend to create
a better feeling, which, however, is off-
set by competition in trade and the fin-
ancial embarrassment of a large wool-
en house. This failure following so
closely upon that of a large millinery
house hss naturally a bad effect and
the trade are suspicious. Both these
disasters are attributed to the under-
selling of goods and the difficulty of
making collections. Their misfortunes
are also attributed to the large depart-
mental store trade carried on in this
city. Doing business on the "cash"
principle has many advantages. One of
these is low prices, and wholesale deal-
ers and limited financial backing can-
not necessarily compete and keep afloat.
There is a moderate trade in spring
drygoods, and hardware and grocery
dealers report a fair trade. Sugars are
weaker. Tbe high prices of hides ought
to stimulate the demand for leather,
but boot and shoe manufacturers are
averse to laying in stocks. Thi opin-
ion seems to be that there is no good
reason forthe firmness of hides, and
e h e
a decline in the latter is fine of the pro-
babilities. Flour is higher in sympathy
with' wheat, straight rollers selling
west for shipment at $3.45 to 13.55.
The.money market is unchanged. Prime
commercial paper is discounted at 6 to
6 1-2 per cent., and call loans on good
stock collateral are obtainable at 5
per cent. Speculation on the Stook Ex-
change its quiet. The bulk of the deal-
ings is now in mining stocks. The Bank
of England discount rated is unchanged
at 3 per cent., wh'ereasi ae advance was
anticipated.
COST OF PULLMAN CARS.
The average cost of the sleeping care
turned out at the Pullman works is $25,-
000, and the Mast expensive ones Bost
between $45,000 and $50,000.

ENGLAND'S SEAL.
It IS t, '
re
atll' size a as wen as in Nance.
Many people doubtless know that up-
on the accession of a new monarch to
the throne of England, a new seal is
struck, and the old one is cut into four
pieces and deposited in the tower of
London. In former times tate frag-
ments of these great seals were distrib-
uted among certain poor people of re-
ligious houses. 'When her majesty Queen
Victoria ascended the throne of Eng -
lend, the late Benjamin Wyon, R.A•,
the chief engraver of her majesty's
mint, designed the beautiful work of
the present great seal of England.
The details of the design are: Ob-
verse, an equestrian figure of the
queen, attended by a page, leer majesty
wearing over a habit a flowing and
sumptuous robe, and a collar of the Or-
der of the Garter. In her right hand
she bears the scepter. and on her head
is placed a regal tiara, The attendant
page, with life bonnet in his hand,
looks up to the queen who is gracefully
restraining the impatient charger,whieh
is richly decorated with plumes and
trappings. The legend. " 'Victoria Dei
Gratia .Britainiarum ttegina, tided De-
fensor," is engraved in Gothic letters,
the spaces between the words being fill-
ed with heraldic roses. The reverse side
of the :seal shows the queen, royally rob-
ed and crowned, holding in Ler right •
hand the scepter, and in her left the
orb, seated upon a throne beneath a
niched Gothic canopy; on each side is
a figura of Justice and Religion ; and
in the exergue the royal arms and
crown and the whole encircled by a
wreath Gtr border of oak and rases.
The seal itself is a silver mold in two
parts, technically called a pair of dies.
When ars impression is to be taken or
cast the parts are closed to receive the
melted wax which is poured through
an opening at the top of the seal: As
each impression is attached to a docu-
ment by a ribbon or slip of parchment,
its ends are put into the seal before
the wax is poured in, so that when
the bard impression is taken from the
dies the ribbon ter parchment is neatly
affixed to it. The impression of the
seal is six inches in diameter and three-
fourths of an inch in thickness.
