The reports of the business agencies in New York continue week after week, to be monotonously dull, and the cur- rent ones show no variety. The week commenced badly in the speculative markets, owing largely to the outflow of gold and decline in the Treasury re- serve. Business—which is always quiet at this time of year—has been consider- ably further depressed by the general financial unrest. The produce mar- kets have been much depressed; lard especially marked the lowest figures on record. The industrial outlook is gloomy, se owing to stoppage of works in different parts of thecountry the pur- chasing power of thepeople has al- ready sensibly decreased, and no pro- spect of an early improvement appears to be in sight. The sales of wool this week are the smallest known for years. GENERAL. Over 1,300 Spanish soldiers in Ouba, axe dying with yellow fever.

The melow oney market mains on about the same level. The wholesale trade at Toronto this week has ruled quiet, not an unusual thing at this season of the year. Those who can are away from business enjoy- ing njoying a vacation, and in but few branches of trade is there anything approaching activity. Outside a little sorting up trade, there is little doing in dry goods, and the feature is a reduction in Cana - diem. cottons. Hardware is also guiet, and the movement in groceries is on a limited scale. Prices in these lines show no important changes, What concerns dealers most at the present ..time is the crop situation and outlook. The yield of grain will vary considerab, ly. in the Midland district it is re- ported that the acreage of wheat has increased, while west it has decreased. Spring grains are looking well inmost districts, but the hay crop of Ontario is generally below the average, al - i though the yield will probably be great- er than last year. Cheese and provi- sions ars lower this week. The money market shows little change, Rates for call loans- are 5 to 51-2 per cent. There was further liquidation in Cable and Postal Telegraph early in the week and a slight recovery in values since. The improved tone of American securities is due to the action of New York bankers in supplying the treasury with gold, They intend to keep the reserve intact so as to avoid the necessity of the Gov- ernment in issuing new bonds before election day. In the ordinary course of events the United. States should be be- ginning to import gold on its increas- ing exports of grain and cotton. Some Items of Interest to the Bitty Business Man. The Union Bank has opened a branch at Hastings. The world's shipment of wheat last week were 5,500,000 bushels, Toronto 31-2 per cent. debentures are selling in. London at 104 ex interest, The Customs revenue for the year reaches a total of $20,172,778, an in- crease of $2,250,000. It its stated that Cable and Postal Telegraph stocks have been bought lately on the Toronto and Montreal markets for English acoount. Tho Canadian Pacific Railway earn- ings for week ending July 14th, were $409,000, and for the same week last year,$343,000; increase $66,000. At an auction sale iu London lately Canadian cheese sold at an average price of 23s. per box of 112 lbs. This is equal to about 5c, per lb, delivered there. Canadian banks are withdrawing part of their balances from the United States. On Monday $350,000 in gold was shipped from New York for Can- ada. The gold reserve of the United States treasury is down to $89,603,000. At a meeting of New York bankers it was agreed to supply the treasury, with $20,000,000 in gold in exchange for legal tenders. The exports for 1896 show a total of $1188,140,504, an increase of $7,500,000, the highest amount in the history of the country, with the exception of one year, The :60087,808,nnceae imports The earnings of the Grand Trunk Railway for the week ended July 14th were $373,038, an increase of $16,385 as compared with the corresponding week of last year. There was an; increase in Canadian Pacific earnings for the same week of $66,000. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada is now 46,- 743,000 6;743,000 bushels, a decrease of 477,000 bushels for the week. The total a year ago was 10,483,000, and two years ago 53,771,000 bushels. The amount of wheat afloat to Europe is 21,360,000 bushels, a decrease of- 1,200,000 last week, while the amount on passage a year ago was 38,240,000 bushels. Montreal wholesale trade shows little change during the past week, and Is of a generally quiet character. Among grocery jobbers there is rather more enquiry, but country orders are but moderate, and city retailers report a falling off in business, owing to the ex- odus of customers to the country. Can- ners are reported to be doing consider- able cutting in prices of new vegetables„ etc. Dry goods orders are numerical- ly about up to the average, but, as be- fore stated, are mostly on the small side. Bleached cottons have been re- duced from 5 to 10 per cent, on the last October list. Boot and shoe meal axe still disposed to complain, and the leather market is very dull as regards local orders, but a steady export move- ment prevails in sole, and prices' gen-' erally, are steadily held under a firm; market for hides, and stocks do not show any great accumulation. The reg- 1 ular mid -summer dullness prevails in metals, hardware, paints and oils, a i 10,000 barrel contract for cement was t placed a few days ago, to be used on the works of the Lachine Rapids Hy- draulic Company, but the general de- mand in this line is very light, There is little apparent prospect for any im- mediate improvement in cheese and but- ter values, but the export movements in the former article is very fairly maintained. Grain crops are reported' to be looking remarkably well in this district, with perhaps the exception of corn, which is reported a little back- ward. Hay has picked up some, but DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, Two SLip.iititici,tng Shops In Belfast Almost wiped out—Very Heavy Less. A despatch from Belfast says --The Harland and Wolff and Workman and Clarke ship -building shops and their contents have been almost wiped. out by fire. The conflagration started in the establishment of Harland and Wolff, and spread to that of the Work- man and Clarke Company, The yards alone were damaged to the amount of 81,500,000. Later, it was learned that the total loos by fire at the ship -yards would not amount to more than $1,- 500,000. The property destroyed was partly insured. The works with the marine engineer- ing works attached cover an area of nearly eighty aores. The firms employ- ed upwaxds of 8,000 hands, and thecom pulsory idleness of a large number of them will cause much inconvenience, if not suffering, among their families. The yards were on the Admiralty list as shitable for building vessels for the Royal Navy. The fire began early on Monday morning in the engineering de- pQearitment, and as a high wind was plowing the flames spread rapidly, de- spite the efforts of the local firemen, who were greatly assisted in their work by the employees in the yards. The fire was communicated to the buildings in the ship -yard of Clarke and Company, adjoining Harland and Wolff. The buildings in both yards, which were mostly huge wooden struc- tures, were destroyed. An immense quantity of valuable machinery be- longing to vessels now in the course of finishing at the yards, eras ruined, as were also the tools and machinery be- longing to various shops. BLOOD -BROTHERHOOD IN AFRICA, In a communication published in Na- ture I1Ir. T. L. Patterson suggests that inoculation with the blood of healthy natives may be able to give residents and travellers in the tropics immunity from climatic diseases. Stanley, the writer says, underwent the operation of blood -brotherhood, fifty times, and he asserts that the explorer's escape from the fevers and diseases of the jungle was due to this transfusion of blood. t �"J am.-', ;7ss'.. STREET OR TRAVELLING CDS Tu'ME WITH LONG COAT. MAKING THEM GOOD SOLDIERS. now 1 nglish Occupation Iles liaised the Atllitsry Standard is Egypt It was doubted whether even British energy could build up a native Egyp- tian army, says the London Spectator. The officers, it was said, might make good regiments of the blacks who pass- ed their lives in fighting, but you can-. not carve upon rotten wood, and the felaheen, born in the mud of a tropi- cal delta and enslaved for ages, had lost, if they ever possessed, the Arab cour- age, and could no more be drilled into fighting men than Bengaleeir or the Indians of Peru. Egyptian troops would be perfect regiments for parade, being the most obedient and orderly of man- kind, but would be usele,, s in the field. MOVED BY SUPERSTITION. Those who hold this opinion wereable to justify it, for they could quote the astounding cowardice of Gen. Hicks' army, in which whole regiments, mov- ed, we fancy, as much by superstition. as by fear, threw down their arms, fell on their faces before the dervishes, and begged, as fellow-Mussulmans,for their lives. The British officers, however, worked on; they gained hope from the behaviour of their men in some petty skirmishes, and at last their young chief, Gen, Kitchener, trusted the fel laheen frankly in the field at Firkeh. The Egyptians, who had been well fed, well treated and thoroughly discip lined, responded to the call. They not only did not flee, but thee, charged as well as the Soudanese, who are born fighters," and the last doubt as to their efficiency in actual hand-to-hand fighting disappeared. Good treatment and steady discipline had to the course of years restored their confidence in themselves and in their officers, and they showed themselves the equals of men who for generations have despised them are " tame Arabs." TRIUMPH FOR BRITAIN. That is a triumph for British organ- ization, with its persistence, its lenity, and its elinost automatic justice, and it is a triumph, too, for British honesty of purpose. It is not our interest to make good soldiers of the fellaheen, for the instant conclusion of the con- tinent ontinent will be that if the Egyptians can defend themselves the main argument for the British occupation of Egypt disappears. It was not our business. however, to consider that danger, but to show that even in the creation of a native army British administration was, as a Gov- ernor-General of Java once described it, " the most vivifying despotism the world has ever seen," and that the work, which has taken fourteen years, was carried on patiently and steadily until the very nature of the conscripts seem- ed eemed changed, and Arabs on the Delta charged victoriously upon the most re- nowned fighters among the Arabs of the Desert. The born children of Misr, where for 2,000 years no man has been fixe, disciplined and led by British of- ficers, scattered the descendants of the Shepherd Kings in a charge. thing tUe That, orand the victory itself, is Englisbmen to be proud of, for no one who reads of it, not the most satirical stroller of the Parisian boulevards, can afterward say, at least Lf he knows anything of history, that the British occupation has debased the Egyptians. AWAKE AGAIN AFTER 24 YEARS Mr, McClelland Knows Haw hili Van win- kle Felt When Ile Woke tip. The village of Graysville, Peen., has developed a strange case as viewed from a medical standpoint—that of a man who had lain upon his bed for twenty- four years, during a great part of which time he was blind and speechless, and sometimes unable to hear, but can now walk about with the aid of crutch- es, and his eyesight, voice, and bearing al Lrestored. This man. is Asa McC1e1- land. He watt a soldier in the late war. In the early part of the '70s he was taken ill and became bedfast. He lost the use of his body, and finally sank into a half -unconscious state, during which he lost both eyesight and power to speak, and for a time could not hear. Some time before his illness his mind became temporarily affected, and he attempted to take his Zile by shooting. The ball struck him near the base of the brain, but failed to penetrate the skull. But little injury was done, ap- parently, by the wound, and he went about for several months afterward. After he became ill his case baffled the aid of physicians. Much of the time he would lie upon his bed with his head and entire body under covers. He would show no sign of recognition, and his food was fre- ciuently pushed under the covers with- in leis reach, and thus he ate enough to sustain life. This lasted during a period of twenty-four yearn. After the first few years olcl acuaintances ceased their visits, and he almost drop- ped out of their remembrance. He now relates the following short story : A short time ago he felt strength suddenly return to his body, and had an impulse to rise. He tried to do so and found that he could get up. About the same time he found his eyesight restored. He had not uttered a sound for years, but the thought occurred to hint to speak, and he found his voice restored. His first attempt to walk was by rest- ing his hands upon the back of a chair and pushing it along, but .he now uses crutches. He hod forgotten many words and those were taught lam just as' a little child is instructed. In the same way he was -taught to read again. Everything was new to him. He, how- ever, remembered the names and faces of former acquaintances. An old ac- quaintance who had not seen him. for many years met him at the store at Graysville, and. was quick- ly recognized by McClelland. The lat- ter refers to the period of his life prior to his ilinessees one who has been away in another part of the couutry for many years and has just returned. He speaks of places about the village as `when T was here before they looked so and so," He says there were but two or three houses in Graysville when he was there then, Like Rap Van ' Winkle, he seems to have awakened from a long dream. He says that during his illness he was many times able to hear what was said, but had not the power to whisper even a reply. He has an interest in a piece of land, and draws a small pension, and says he is now able to conduct his own business. Mr. McClelland. is 54 years old, and formerly worked at the painting trade. ,Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria for Infants and Children.

Neither man or woman can enjoy life when troubled with liver complaint. This was the sentiment and feeling of W. J. Hill, the well- known bailiff of Bracebridge. " I was so bad," says he, " that one of my medical attendants sal? that I was dying, but, thank God, I am not dead yet. Prom the first few doses I took of Nervine I commenced to feel bet- ter, and am to -day restored completely to my usual health," A resident of the Maritime Provinces, in the person of S.
