Through the Weary Hours

OF many night, made doubly long BY its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer toss
es to and fro on his sleepless couch, vainly
praying for the rest which only comes by
fits and starts. His malady is one which or
binary medicines too often fail to relieve.
But there is abundant evidence to prove
that the efficient blood depurent, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, affords the rheumatic a
reliable means OF relief. Check the malady
in its incipient stages, when the first premon-
tory symptoms come on, with this agreea-
Bile medicine and avoid years OF torture.
Whatever be the rationale of the active in
huence of the Bitters upon this malay, Ger
tain it is that no evidence relating to its
effect is more certain and positive than that
which relates to its action in cases of rheum-
atisr. Like all sterling remedies, however,
it deserves protracted, systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial. 1t is equally eficacious in
dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred diseases.

WITH cotton below the figures at
which there is reasonable profit
and corn scarce and away up, its
strange that farmers who are having
to sell their cotton at the low figures
and purchase the corn at the high
prices do not plant more corn and
less cotton to bring the figures back
to the proper equality, where there
would be a reasonable profit on both
products of the farm.

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Weekly Report Makes q Brighter
Showing For the General Trade of the
Country.
New YORK, Aug. or. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
During the past week attention has
been absorbed by the great excitement
in grain. Russian orders prohibiting
exports of rye were taken as official
confirmation of the worst reports re-
garding the harvest in that country.
The price here was suddenly advanced
SO far as to stop exports and then rap
idly receded, closing at S1.14H5, or 91s
cents above last weeks quotation.
There is little room to doubt that for
eign demand will be greater than ever
if prices here are not SO advanced as to
check it. 1t is in the highest degree
important that the golden opportunity
should not be lost through such a rise
in prices as would curtail foreign con-
sumption.
The general business of the country
does well, with general improvement
in nearly all branches, based on actual
increase of demand from farming
states. 1t may be doubted whether
there has ever been a more cautious
and conservative feeling prevalent at
any time when the prospect of large
trade was bright, and in scarcely any
branch is there seen a disposition to
venture upon large speculative pur-
chases. Stocks of goods carried over
have been large for years and dealers
are admonished by failures. and there
is SO general a disposition to purchase
only what it is certain consumers will
require that many trades appear hest
tating and almost dull Yet the vol
ume of business is probably as large as
ever before at midsummer.
