THE REST CURE FOR WOMEN.
Advantages That Come From Complete
Physical Relaxation.

Physical Relaxation.
The rest cure" is now practiced at
home by many women who have come
TO proper realization of its value. 1t

weeks in private hospital, with
trained nurse, niaSseuse, and the rest,
including trunk full of pretty tea

without stopping her work or quitting
her family.

For the woman whose work is at

could be spent in this way. Where
there are children old enough to go to

little folks will have turned back to
their lessons. no callers need be ex-

delay. For the mothers whose babies
are still in arms the rest should be
taken while their little charges sleep.

EFFECT ON TRADE.
More Activity Looked For, Now That the
Elections Are over.
New York, Nov. 12.-R. G. Dun &

Elections Are over.
New York, Nov. 12.-R. G. Dun e
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
Business has been waiting the greater part
of the week. and the elections are expected to
give II sharp stimulus. Whether men are
right or wrong in expecting better things,
the fact that they expect them does
tend to make things better Thus a
larger volume OF trade might be antici-
pated, although no present events can
alter the size OF the corn crop nor make the
demand for wheat or cotton closer TO the sup
ply. Neither can the election returns alter the
tarif, and IL any industry is affected by it,
favorably or unfavorably the situation Is ex-
actly the same as il was before the people
voted, at least for some time to come But 1t
is fair to infer that further notifications Of
of the tariff are rendered less probable by the
elections of Tuesday.
I'm the speculative markets there has been
scarcely any movement, and nothing favorable
to holders. Wheat is cents higher, but there
is little encouragement because stocks in
sight are far beyond all previous records. Corn
has fallen al out , cents. Cotton declined an
eighth TO 5sS cents. which is again the lowest
price ever recorded. and appears to mean a
definite decrease ia production hereafter, as in
most Of the southern states the prices now
realized are not remunerative, For the pres
ent the stocks here and abroad are large
enough to kin any speculation.
There is a decided improvement In the tone
of the iron m; rket, and general confidence
that the business will now improve. The boot
and shoe man ufacturers have been doing rela-
lively as well as usual, though the season is
about over and the orders running into the flu
ture are, as hitherto, almost exclusively for
goods Of the cheaper grades No change In
prices has been noted, although manufacture
ers still complain that present prices of shoes
and cots are not remunerative with current
prices for leather
Scarcely anything is doing in wooden goods
for spring delivery and the demand for fall and
winter goods has nearly disappeared In gem
eral IL is believed that the spring orders thus
far are not more than half the usual quantity.
There IS no speculative buying and manufac-
turers are purchasing only for their immediate
needs. so that the prices though averaging
about quarter of a cent lower than month
ago. show no tendency yet TO improve.
Reports of failures are on the whole en-
couraging in comparison with last year, and
vet the volume OF liabilities is larger for the
season than in any year Of ordinary prosperity.
The aggregate in five weeks ending November
has been $1,000 437, OF which S4,3S5575 were
