The Week's Commercial Summary.
The stooks of wheat at For William
are now 1,226,003 bushels as eompared
With 1.817,000 bushels a year ago.
Speculation has increased on Wall
etreet, and a very strong market is the
result. The railways have agreed to re-
store freight rates.
The prices paid for No. I hard wheat
at Manitoba points declined a couple of
points Wednesday, Oct 10, 45 cents be-
teg the highest figure paid at the major-
ity of places.
The statistical position of wheat is
snore bearish. The visible supply of
wheat in the United. States aiad. Lamed&
increased 2,540,0J0 bushels last week,
and the amount afloat increased, 2,880,-
000 bushels. The total visible supply in
arahohouses is 44,481,000 bushels, as
against 41,88:?„0000 bushels a week ago,
7tash88,0a0 a year ago, and 65,818,000
two year ago.
R. G. Dun St, 00,'S weekly review of
trade in the United States says: The
events of the week are promising in
Illative though to speculative markets
not eritirely encouraging. The great
advance in cotton had arrested exports,
and so deranged exchanges that ship-
anents of gold were for a time apprehend-
ed, but the breai . in the market indicates
idiot the natural movement of the pro-
duct may soon be restorel. The halting
of demand arid moderate yielding of
prices in the great industv:al markets
show that a season of reasonable atten-
tion to natural conditions has arrived,
and gives hope that the haul's demand
will be more readily proportioned to
actual consumption. With prices rapid-
ly advancing. buying by traders was for
months greatly in excess or distribsstion.
136 consumers, and the pause while sur-
plus stocks are worked off will enable
eommercial mariners to set their latitude
and. longitude and measure conditions
more correctly.
Chronic, derangements of the stomach,
liver and. blood, are speedily removed by
the active principle of the ingredients
entering into the composition of Parme-
lee's Vegetable Pills. These pills; act
specifically on the d.eranged organs,
stimulating to action the dormant ener-
gies of the system, thereby removing
ctisease and renewing life and vitality to
1he afflicted. In this lies the great secret
of the popularityof Parmelee's Vegetable
Pills.

Thoughtless Pulpit Criticism.
Not long since a prominent Toronto
clergyman, whose utterances each week
are as gospel to thousands, publicly de-
nounced the gold cure as a remedy for
inebriety. Inquiry revealed the fact that
the reverend gentleman's opinion. was
based upon the case. of a certain young
man who had taken the treatment and
had subsequently resumed drinking
habits. He failed to recog-nize that the
you.og mao was the failure, and not the
cure, and" that what the young mao re-
quired was brains, a commoeity not sup-
plied by the gold cure. He did not, ap-
parently, investigate further, else this
thoughtless denunciation would never
have been uttered, but he would have
been convinced instead by overwhelming
evidence of the efficacy of this wonder-
ful treatment, and some sorrowing wife
or mother, of his congregatiou might have
been happier to -day. We know a young
man who professed conversion under the
ministrations of this same elergyraan,
but subsequently disgraced himself, yes
we do not denounce or belittle the efforts
of Christian ministers on that account.
The Church and the Gold Cure are both
doing grand work, each in its own sphere,
and should w rk in harmony, side by
side. We invite clergymen to investi-
gate the record of Lar ehurst Institute,

Ilint to Health.
-.From the Shelburne Floonomist
The completion of the local telephone
service between Shelburne and Horning's
Mills by Messrs. John Metcalfe and W.H.
Marlatt, referred to in these celumns re-
cently, was the means of bringing to the
notice of a reporter of the Economist the
fact of the remarkable restoration to health
some time ago of Mr. Memoir°, the chief
promoter of the line. For about two years
Mr. Metcalfe was a terrible sutterer, and
unable to work 'While not altogether bed-
fast, he was so badly crippled that,his bent
form, as he ocasionally hobbled about the
streets of Horning's Mine, excited nniver-
sal sympathy. The trouble was in ono of
Ids hips and he could not stand or walk
erect, His familiar attitnde, as the rel -
Agitation in the world ot homcepatine
medicine has heou iM very soul of pro-
gress, as in politics and religion—the diffi-
cultiee of opinion and the individualities
of men have been parent to the disagree-
ments by which the standard of these
bodies have been elevated: So with most
of our famous preparations—foremost in
illustration of which truth stands the
world-famous remedy to general debility
.and langour "Quinine Wine," and which,
when obtainable in its genuine strength,
is a miraeuloue creator of appetite, vital-
ity and stimulant, to the general fertility
of the system. Quinine Wine, and its
improvement, has, from the first discovery
of the great =toes of Quinine as a reedi-
ted agent, been one of the most thoroughly
discussed remedies ever offered to the
public.. It is one of the great tonics and
natural life-giving stimulants which the
medical profession have been compelled
to recognize and prescribe. Messrs.
Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given
to the preparation of their pure Quinine
Wine the great care due to, their im-
portance, and the standard excellence

ile comes into the market purged of all
the defects which skillful observation and

"Walked in a Stooping. Position."
dents of Horning's Mills can vouch, was
a stooped over position, with one hand on
his knee. Mr. 1Vietealfe says:—" For about
two years I was not able to do any work.
Local physicians failed to do me any good,
and I went to Toronto for treatment, with
equally unsatisfactory results. I also tried
electrical appliances without avail. I re-
turned home from Toronto discouraged,
and said that I would take no more medi-
cine, that it seemed as if I had to die any-
way. My system was very much run
down and the pains at times were excru-
ciating. I adhered for several months to
my determir talon to take no more medi-
eine,but finally consented to a trial of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills strongly recommend-
ed by a friend. Before I had taken them
very long I felt a great deal better, my ap-
petite returned, and the pains diminished.
After using the pills for some time longer
I was able to stand and walk erect and re-
sume my work, in the full enjoyment of
health ana strength. People who knew
me marvelled at the change, and on my
personal recommendation many have us
Pink Pills. This is the first time, how-
ever, that I have given the facts for publi-
cation."
On being asked if the sciatica had ever
returned, Mr. Metcalfe stated that once or
twice, as the result of unusual exposure,
heahd experienced slight attacks but he
always kept some of the pills at hand for
use on such occasions and they never fail
ed to fix him up all right. Mr. hfectalfe,
who is 52 years of age, is in the flour and
provision business, ani as proof of his
ability do as good a day's work as he ever
done in his life, we may state that the
most of the work connected with the erec-
tion of his six miles of telephone line was
performed by himself. Mr. Metcalfe also
mentioned several other instances in which
the users of Pink Pills derived great bene-
fit, among them being that of a lady resi-
dent of Horning's Mills. The Economist
knows of a number of instances.in Shel-
burne where great good has followed the
use of this well-known remedy. The pub-
lic are cautioned against imitations and
substitutes, said to be "just as good"
These are only offered by some unsorupul-
ous dealers because there is a larger profit
for them in the imitation. There is no
other remedy that can successfully take
the place of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
these who are in need of a medicine should
insist upon getting the genuine,which are
always put up In boxes bearing the words
"Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
ple." If you cannot obtain them front
your dealer, .they will be sent post-paid on
receipt of 50 cents a box, or $2.50 for six
boxes, by addressing the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.. or Sche-
