Financial RevSexu


The Financial and Commercial Chronicle
in it's review of the financial situation for
the week says:
There is little change to note in
the situation this week. Almost all inter-
ests continue to an extent disturbed bv the
agitation of the tariff revision in congress-
by the neglect to deere, se taxation and bv
the determined opposition which is mani
tested to the suspension of the coinage of
the silver dollar. The December returns of
our foreign trade indicate in export in
month of about 500, OOO, 600, and vet prices
were all very low and the movement OF
corn and provisions by no means equal to
that OF 1881 or of previous good year.. As
to the stock market, it has shown some
slight improvement during the week. ca.
peciatly in tone. The market appears to be
largely overso!d, and as it is in the power of
the cliques to sharply advance it at any
time, the speculstors> for decline may.
temporarily at least, abandon their efforts
TO de?ress prices. An influence helping the
late decline of many properties has been the
loss in earnings reported by the western and
northwestern roads. From our usual
monthly review of earnings it appears that
the loss is confined to that section almost
wholly, and that nearly all other roads
reporting show surprising increase. Al.
together the reported earnings give no en-
couragement to the idea that the
roads will not be able to MAINTAIN their
financial position.

An Old Murder Test Revived

Special to the Chicago Herald Two
years ago Mrs. Sargent, aged eighty-four, &C.
cupying house alone in Fort Ann, was
found beaten to death. Large rewards were
offered for the arrest OF TIE murderer and q
man named Stewart was taken into custody
on suspicion, but the case was dropped, as
no evidence was tr. ught against him. The
strange and almost incredible fact has now
been discovered that a photograph taken I
the dead woman's eyes disclosed upon the
retina picture Of Stewart holding a chair
over her head and just in the act Of striking
her. The matter has.been brough, to the at
tention OF the grand jury, and it is probable
Stewart, who has enlisted in the regular
army, will be rearres.ed.

Bitter Bread,


Complaint is frequently made by those who
use baking powders that they leave in bread,
biscuit, or cake raised by them disagreesS,e
bitter taste. This taste follows the use ei ali
impure baking powders, and is caused either
bytheir containing alum introduced to make
q cheap article), by the impure and adulter.
ated character of other ingredients used, or
from the Ignorance oftheir manufacturers of
the proper methods of combining them.
These baking powders leave in the bread q
residuum formed Of lime, earth, alum, OF
other deetoriOus matte g. not always, though
frequently, tastable in the food, and by al
physicians classed as injurious to health.
The Royal Baking Powder is free from this
serious defect. In its use no residuum Is LETT,
and the loaf raised by it is always sweet, light
and wholesome, and noticeably free from the
peculiar taste complained Of The reason OF
this is because It is composed. of nothing but
absolutely pure mate rials, scientifically CON-
bned In exactly the proper proportions of
acid and alkaii to act upon and destroy each
other, while producing the largest amount of
raising power. We are justified in tais asser-
ton from the unqualified statements made BY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS who afterthorough
ana exhaustive tests rec commended the ''Roy-
al" for governmental use because of its super
iority over all Others in purity, strength and
whoiesonenes,. There is no danger Of bitter
bread or biscuit where it alone is used.
