The Key Note Of Health.

The health and vgor of the several organs Of the
body depend upon the simple condition that the
functions which pertain to each shall be regularly
and actively performed If vitality is sluggish or de-
cient, this condition is not properly fulfilled and as
consequence disease is soon inaugurated. Prevent
it by timely use of Hostetter's Stomach Bltters,
which rouse the vital energies when dormant and
endow the feeble frame with needful stamina. At
the time that the Bitters intuse new strength
into the SYSTEM they correct those functional hregu
larities and local weaknesses which sap the vital
power. Dyspepsia, bladder and kidney complaints,
gout rheumatism, fever and ague biliousness, con-
stipation and diseases invariably over
come by the operation of this standard Alternative
tonic.

The demand for Wool remains the same as noticed
for some weeks. Medium ieeces and combing and
delaine feeces are sought after and sustain full
PRICES but for other kinds there very little inquiry
and fine WOODS are neglected. We do not look for
any immediate change as even fine Woods have
touched point under which they are not likely to
60, and manufacturers have supplied themselves so
freely with delaine and combing ffeeces that they
would be likely to withdraw from the market if an
advance was demanded. Considerable Wool is ar
irving and stocks are now accommodating quite rapid
y but there is no great pressure the part of hold
ers to realize.
In New York the market for clothing Wools con-
tlnues dull and depressed, but combing and delane
selections are in demand at steady prices.
Philadelphia the remarks made in our last issue
will apply equally well for this week. There is a
steady demand tor Colorado as well as combing of
medium grades at full prices while other descrip-
tons are neglected. and for fine feeces and fine I'M
washed lower prices have been accented

Election for Delegates to the G onsti ut O n
al Convention in North Carolina.

WILMINGTON, Aug 4-The state election to-
morrow is to choose 100 delegates to the consti-
tutional convention called by the last legisla-
lature. The election will undoubtedly be much
closer than that of last year. Both par ties
seem confident of securing majority
of the delegates, but the chances seem largely
in favor of the Conservatives who will probably
elect not less than 65 of the 100 delegates,
though there has been less money spent on t he
canvass than usual.
