nagging her for long time. There

The 1crOnJ fody,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
creams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for a time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is a proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. 1t cures, perfectly and per-
manently, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprictors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.
If they can't cure your Catarrh,
they'll pay you $500 in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain of their medi-
cine.

Both Dun and Bradstreet's Reviews show
Good Beg.nning of the New Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.--R. q. Dun &
Co. S weekly report of trade says:
The first week of the new year has
been marked by some striking events.
These changes do rot threaten but
promise to help the legitimate business
| of the country which over-co 4 fident
! speculation at this time might have
embarrassed The government issued
this week its final statement of
the yield of wheat, corn and oats
The yield of wheat now reported
50 far exceeds previous department
estimates that the price has dropped
sharply 81 cents for the week on
sales of only 5000, 900 bushels. Oats
also dropped 80 cents, but corn rose
an eighth of a cent large exports
actually exceeding those of wheat for
three days of the week sustaining the
price. Pork products scarcely changed.
oil rose 2a5 cents and coffee one-quarter
of cent Cotton has dropped to the
lowest price since early in 1S4g and
this has affected business in the south.
In brief the business prospects of the
country are remarkably favorable for
the beginning of new year excepting
at the south, and while the depression
in that section may considerably affect
some trades and branches of manufact-
ure, the unlifting influence of large
northern crops and of unprecedented
foreign demand for northern products
II Al
confidence which prevails.
Bradstreets weekly Wall street re-
view says:
To all appearances the favorable an
ticipations in regard to the course of
speculation have been verified by its
tendency during the first week of the
year. The activity of the market has
been remarkable. and advances of a
striking character have occurred in
many portions of the share list At
the same time that the transactions
have increased in volume it is evident
that the participation has broadened
and that the January disbursements
with the encouraging financial cundi.
tons and steady increase of railroad
earnings have produced a great deal of
fresh buying. 1t was noticeable that
London and Europe generally took no
part in the upward movement of prices
which saluted the nav year In
deed, there was selling from that
quarter during the greater part of the
week and speculative sentiment in the
foreign markets is apparently not ready
to respond to the bullish disposition
which prevails here. AT the same time
our market though widening and i'm
proving in respect to the quality of the
supply, seems to be largely professional
in character. That manipulative in
fuences should be strongly at work is
not surprising. Indeed. such mani
feStations are needed to set the market
in motion Though it is recognized
that progress toward a higher level
may take a slower ana more orderly
form, the belief in such an outcome is
very general and Fridays speculation
though somewhat feverish was strong
in its tendencies.
