Trade Picking Up, With Indications Of Con-
timed Improvement.
The local business situation underwent
past week. The volume of transactions in
an departments was larger than for the
same time last year, and fully up to the most
hopeful expectation. There were no radical
changes in values, but they displayed a
stronger tone and disposition to move up.
Oil was active and, in spite of bear tactics
and secret manipulation, persistently main
tained a position above the 80 line, fire.
quently rising above go, with good pros
pect of reaching a still higher point.
There was no special feature in
stocks, the most of them being under
bearish influence, Philadelphia gas alone show
ing an advancing tendency at the close. Real
estate was active. Nearly all descriptions of
property were in demand. About 100 trausac-
tions were reported during the week, some of
them being of considerable magnitude. Values
of choice properties, and especially unim-
proved lots and small houses, were very firm
with hardening tendency. Bankers reported
large supplies oil loanable funds, with a mod
crate borrowing demand. Rates were steady
at 5@6 per cent, the former for gilt-edged col
lateral. There was more inquiry for iron and
prices were frmer.
The stock market was steady Saturday for
the good dividend payers and weak for the rest.
Gas was slumpy all along the line. with the ex-
ception of Philadelphia which scored an ad-
vance and left off strong Electric about held
its own. La Noria was in the dumps. Trac-
tious were depressed, because of the frequent
accidents to people and to the motive power,
making the running of cars irregular and un-
certain. Brokers say there is good prospect
ahead for most of the local securities.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Full cream cheese has been advanced Lc at
Chicago, and, while prices have not been
changed by our home jobbers, the frmness is
strong enough to bring an advance at an early
day. 1t rarely fails that cheese prices go up in
Lenten times. An active movement in eggs
and reliable butter is reported by jobbers the
past day or two. A Liberty street commission
firm reports that yesterday was a good Friday
in these lines, showing total of sales beyond
anything for some weeks. The demapd for
good country butter is specially strong Dealers
IN butterlne have found the trade fraught with
80 many difficulties and risks that many have
gone back to butter. The result is already seen
in a better demand for good country butter.

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption.
1t is therefore singular that those afflicted with
this fearful disease should not make it the OBJ
ject of their lives to rid themselves of it. De-
ceptive remedies concocted by ignorant pre-
tenders to medical knowledge have weakened
the confidence of the great majority of suffer-
ers in all advertised remedies. They become
resigned to a life of misery rather than torture
themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must BE met
at every stage and combated with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
GUS symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the
nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and Of
tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula
SO elongated, the throat SO infamed and irri-
tated as to produce a constant and distressing
cough.
SANFoRD'S RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
1t is local and constitutional. Instant in reliev-
ing, permanent in curing, safe, economical and
never-failing.
Each package contains one bottle Of the
RADICAL CURE. one box CATARRHAL Sol

special news was received to cause the decline,
and the depression was the result of lack of
support. The speculative offerings were
heavy, considerable long wheat coming on the
market. besides which there may have been
some shorts selling. Every effort to sell
brought lower prices, there apparently being
no opposition to stop the decline.
The short interest evidently had been pretty
well covered and the parties who have been
identified with the bull side, while not known
to have sold freely to-day, evidently had done
SO the past week or more. From surface indi-
cations it is surmised that trade is getting out
of May and shifting into July, but, there is still
a great deal of uncertainty regard
ing the market, and operators are
naturally not too over-sanguine that the May
deal has already been abandoned.
There was fair trade in corn early, with a
quiet feeling later. The market opened at
firm. advancing Xc, due to covering by shorts.
The demand was soon satisfied, however, and
prices reacted 3SQ11c, influenced by the decline
In wheat, and to the free selling by one or two
prominent houses, became steady and closed
fully nc lower than yesterday.
Trading in oats was small and price changes
were unimpoltant.
Only,a limited business was reported in hog
products, but the feeling was moderately firm
considering the unsettled condition OF other
markets, and prices averaged higher on all
leading articles. although outside figures were
not fully supported.
The leading futures ranged as follows
