FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Portland Wholesale Market

THURSDAY, February 1.-THE prospect of war
between England and Russia has had the effect to
generally unsettle the market Of Breadstuhs. Only
yesterday we reduced Flour $50 % Dbl, and to-day
holders do not to sell for less than advance of
50c W Dol. The market is very much demoralized
generally. Corn is a little stronger, and we quote
car lots at &c to &c., and bag lots at &c. Sugars
unchanged. Pork and Lard show no change, but an
advance is anticipated.

Re-Ogening a Thoroughfsre.

In order to guard against results utterly subversive
of health, it is absolutely essential that the grand
thoroughfare or avenue of the system, the bowels,
should be re-opened speedily possible when they
become obstustsd they are not, the bile is mis-
cid bilious matter gets into the stomach, and produce
es Indigestion; headaches ensue, and other symp-
citing only tends to aggravate. The aperient
qualities of Hostetters Stomach Btters constitute
most useful agent in overcoming construction of the
bowels, and promoting regular habit of body. 1t is
infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics frequent
y used for the purpose since it does not, like them,
act violently but produces natural, painless effect,
which does not impair the of the evacuatorJ or
gans, which it invgorates instead of weakening The
stomach and liver also, indeed the entire system, is
strengthened and regulated by it.
