soft, luxurious tresses they become irresistible.

THE FALL TRADE.
What They Say in New York About
the Prospects.

What They Say in New York About
the Prospects.
New York Tribune, Aug. 81.
A goodly number of western and
southern buyers of merchandise are re
ported in town this week; but they are
said to have continued the practice
adopted during the late panic, of pur-
chasing sparingly-" sorting up" as
they term it-and this, although unsat-
isfactory to the jobber, who in former
years was accustomed to sell six
months supply in the fall and another
such supply in the spring, and although
1T does not Justify the expectation of
! the expansiOnists who promised us an
active and prosperous fall trade, yet to
conservative business men, who hope
for a return to real and substantial
| rather than fictitious prosperity, the
| caution with which traders lay in stocks
| of goods is regarded as q hopeful sign
Of the times, since it is an indication
| that they expect to pay for what they
buy, and do not mean to put themselves
| IN position where they will be unable
to meet their engagements.
The harvests still promise to be eX-
cellent, with the possible exception of
the maize crop, which will be below the
! average IN some parts of the country IN
consequence of late protraeted drouth.
/ We are also well assured of excellent
crops in England and throughout the
continent of Europe. These facts do
not hold out the hope of obtaining high
prices for our surplus cereals, ard have
| already a considerable decline In bread
| stuffs. This may induce such produ-
GERS as are not absolutely obliged to sell
their wheat at the market price to hold
it for an advance, ana should this view
of the subject be acted upon to any
considerable extent it will be likely ia
embarrass the western traders in their
collections, and in turn the jobbers and
| importers. Whether the farmers who
hold over their crops in the expectation
of better prices in the future may not
finally be compelled to sell at lower In.
stead higher figures is a matter fol-
grave consideration on their part, but &
/ question which they must determine fol
themselves. since they alone take what
ever risk there may be involved in the
delay.

s. For the Blood is the Life.'s

See Deuteronomy, Chap. xii, Verse %. The
blood being the source from which our sys-
TENS are built up and from which we derive
our mental as well as physical capabilities,
how important that it should be kept pure
If it contains vile, fostering poisons all organic
functions are weakened thereby. Settling
upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence
it behooves every one to keep their blood in a
perfectly healthy condition, and more espe-
cialIy does this apply at this particular season
of the year than at any other. No matter
what the exciting cause may be, the real cause
of a large proportion of all diseases is bad
blood. Now DR.. Pierce does not wish to place
his Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue
of uuack patent nostrums by recommending
it to cure every disease, nor does he so recon-
mend it; on the contrary there are hundreds of
diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure;
but what he does claim is this, that thereis but
one form of blood disease that it will not cure,
and that disease is cancer. He does not recon-
mend his Discovery for that disease, vet he
knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser vet discovered, and that it will free
the blood and system Of all other known blood
poisors, be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery Is 1CdrrG7tted by him to
cure the worst forms of Skin Disease, as all
forms of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions,
also all GIandular Swellings, and the worst
form of Scrofulous and liberated Sores of
Neck, Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous
Diseases of the Bones, White Swellings,
Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, ali
of which belong TO ScrOfulous diseases.
CONFERENCE.-THE JOINT DISEASE CURED
W. GROVE STATION, Ia, July Il, 1872
DR.. PIERCE, Buffalo, \. Y:
Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually be-
coming reduced, and her whole system rotten
with disease. In 1871 a swelling broke on
her hip, discharging large quantities, and since
that time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors at an expense Of SIPS, who
say nothing will do any good but surgical
operation.
July is, 1873 he writes thus: Ny wife has
certainly received great benefit from the use
of your Discovery, for she was not able TO get
off the bed and was net expected to live a
week when she commenced using it, a year
ago. She has been dong most Of her work
for over six months. Has used twenty bot
ties and still using it. Her recovery is con
siIered as almost miracle, and we attribute
it all TO the use of your valuable medicine
can cheerfully recommend it as blood puri-
fer and strength restorer. j. NJ. Robinson.

ton that Solicitor Banfeld knew more of
Sanborn and the details of his contract
than any other officer of the Treas
ury. Mr.. Boutwell's attention was called to
an order signed by him and addressed to
Collectors and Assessors, directing them to as

the examination of official records. Mr.. Bout
well said he stood by this as legal and proper;
il merely allowed him to see the records in
Assessors and Collectors offices with refer

to the Government, so as to avoid going after
those who have already paid their taxes.
