In all diseases affecting these organs, whether they
secrete too much or too little water, or whether they
be afflicted with stone or gravel, or with aches and
pains settled in the loins over the regions Of the
kidneys, these pills should be taken accordingto the
printed directions, and the ointment should be well
rubbed into the small of the back at bed time. This
treatment will give almost immediate relief when
all other means have failed.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Portland Markets.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING DEC. 3.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING DEC. ..
The market is quiet and there is but little activity
to note in any quarter The still unsettled condition
of the currency question and the possibility that the
Inatonists may carry their point in Congress does
much to effect this condition of things. 1t is now
most too late to expect very marked improvement
in business until after the holidays.
Apples continue firm and the demandIis good.
Prices are quoted from $780, while extra nice lots
bring $5. Beans are strong at the prices Of last
week. Butter is in fair demand and We quote it at
1a925c for family, while nice lots are quoted few
cents higher. Cheese is dull. Coffee is firm and Rio
is quoted little higher. Copper and cordage show
no change. Opium is lower and we quote it at SIS 80,
few unimportant changes will be noticed in drugs
and dyes, Duck Is in fair demand at the quotations
Fish are quiet and the only change to notice is
slight reduction of No, herring. Flour is dull and
unchanged The stock is accumulating as receipts
have been large until lately; now they are very
small. Corn is rather quiet and prices have fallen
off, and we quote car lots now at 696sc and bag lots
at es@69c. Hay Offering quite freely and the best
can be bought at from 81 4t@l7. Iron is unchanged
Lard is very dull and declining and quote tierces
at 9H99sc. Leather is steady and unchanged. The
lumber market shows little or no improvement for
home or foreign demand. Molasses is dull and some
grades show a little easier feeling. Kerosene oil
shows change in quota tions. Linseed is little
higher and we quote it at 59c for raw. and 62@6sc
for boiled There is quite perceptible decline in
paints and we quote Portland lead at $7.5O@775.
The produce market is rather quiet after Thanks
giving. Turkeys quite plenty and lots have been
sold as low as six CENTS although they are rather
higher than that just now. Round hogs are dull
and can be bought readily for six cents. Pork Of all
kinds is dull Beef is firm and unchanged. Sugars
are dull and have declined to quite an extent the
past week; Granulated is quoted at 9ac, Extra at
9sc, and at s39SAc. Teas are quiet and unchang-
ed. Tobacco is dull and sales continue light.

NEW York, Dec. 5.-The Evening Post,
quoting the Times charge that Marshal Smythe
was removed at the instance of Senator Cor

March, the Post says: This is a very serious
charge. 1t affects not only President Hayes,
but also the department of Justice and Attor-
neY General Devens, and the treasury depart
ment and Secretary Sherman. If Devens and
Sherman were not directly concerned in the re-
moval of Marshal Smythe they deserve to be
dismissed themselves for not denouncing his
removal at the instance of the whiskey thieves
This is more important matter than the ques-
tion whether Senator Gordon has too much to
say about appointments. If it is true that the
administration is controlled by illicit distillers
the scandalous facts ought to be shown. If it
Is not true the assertion itself is a gross scan
