fornia there is an active demand Combing and de

In New York as the season draws to a close the
market assumes that same quiet aspect that is usual
at this season. Manufacturers generally are winding
preparing for the business Of the coming year. No
activity is looked tor until, at least, the middle of
January, and at that time considerable trade is an
hcipated. The unusually light supply of every de-
scripton fboth clothing and Carpet material gives
to the market tone Of strength and confidence and
prices already commence to show a tendency to adj
vance. w wv
In Philadelphia, Fine is quiet but eombing is in
steady request But few buyers have visited the
market, and their purchases have been generally
confined to INN ediate wants The rates current at

many anticipate an increased demand and better

TIC EVIL Ffults OF weak DIxestlOns
There is no pathological fact more clearly ascer-
tanned than that the most formidable phases of
vous disease are directly traceable to imperfect di
gestion. Insomnia, with its train of drefu conse-
quences, proceeds more frequently from weakness Of
the stomach than from any other cause. Mere seda-
tives are powerless to cure nervousness, and soon
cease to palliate its symptoms. The true way to
strengthen the nervous system is to invgorate the
digestive and assimilative organs upon whose unob
structed action its equilibrium is absolutely depend

will do more to brace and soothe the weakened and
irritated nerves, and induce sound refreshing sleep
to be found in the pharmacopeia or out of it. A
