Capt w. s. Wentworth, Poor's Mills,
Me, has been cured of chronic dyspepsia
and liver complaint after eight years suf-
ferinr from which he could obtain no re-
lief from his physicians, either here or

The captain has little boy two and
half wears old who has been a terrible
sufferer from scIofula. He had large
scrofuIa bunch on the side OF his face
They began giving him Rodolfs Medical

sore began to heal and dry up, and is now
entirely cured, and his face is perfectly
clear and smooth and shows no sign OF

Oil CRAZE SUBSIDING.
Excitement Dying Ont from Speculative
Point Of View-Thc Standard In Con
troll.

Excitement Dying Out from Speculative
Point Of vicw-Thc standard In Con
troll.
Pittsburg. Pa, April 19.-The Stand
ard again, this morning gave those
interested in oil something to guess on.
For the first time since the company
has been fixing the amount it would
pay for crude OIL the price was set
back this morning from the previous
days figures. Yesterday 26O was. paid
for Pennsylvania oil, and 1t Is estimated
that nearly sl,sOOOOO was paid pro-
ducers during the day at that figure.
At 10 o'clock this morning 24O was post
ed at the purchasing agencies as the
price for today. This was a drop of
20 cents, and those who did not sell
their product yesterday have. for the
moment at least, cause to feel a little
put out at not getting their stuff In at
the top figure.
The drop of 20 cents by the Standard
was felt on the exchange. The opening
quotation from Oil City was 24O, which
was posted on the local board. The
market was bid up to 242 and then took
a big drop. being offered down as low
as 22O. A reaction to 225 followed, and
the market remained at this figure
until near the close, when 22O was bid.
At Oil City probably 10000 barrels
changed hands at different prices be-
tween the high and low figures. For
cash oil 225 was paid for a lot of 2S, 900
barrels. In this city few scattering
sales were made
Brokers appear to be satisfied that
there Is no hope for revival In specula-
ton. 1t has been clearly shown to them
that Standard, having the big end of
outstanding certificates, will make a
market to suit itself and pay no atten-
ton to existing prices. The excite
ment is dying out from speculative
point of view. At times during the ex-
citing hours this afternoon there was
not single broker on the second floor,
and only one or two spectators. 1t is
pretty generally believed, however. that
the present prices being paid by the
Standard will not go much lower and
may go higher any day.

TRADE IMPROVING.
Dun's Weekly Review Indicates That
Good Times Are Apparently at Hand.

Dun's Weekly Review Indicates That
Good Times Are Apparently at Hand.
New York, April 19-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Inevery speculative department busi-
ness Is growing, but this is really the
least satisfactory feature Of the situa-
tion. Cotton, oil and wheat climb
above the export price. so that the
marketing of products abroad must be
checked and money is absorbed which
ought to be employed in productive in
dustry and in distribution of products
to consumers. Everybody knows that
oil has not risen 200 per cent. because
1t Is intrlnsically more valuable, nor
Is wheat actually worth more than 1t
was two or three weeks ago, but the
expansive and uplifting force has un-
fortunately taken to speculation rather
than to production, and SO we have
higher prices in all speculative mar
kets without larger demani for con
sumption.
outside of speculative markets, the
most important feature is the rise In
the price of beef but which is largely
|
by few strong corporations. There
ought to be, but apparently is not. suf-
ficient power in the hands of the gov
ernment to meet any such conspiracy
against the public, and the proposal of
Secretary Morton to admit Mexican
cattle and cattle from Canada on easy
terms for the benefit of consumers is
heartily commended, though it Is not
likely to have much influence.
In iron and steel the situation is
rather disappointing, although the out
put continues large, as the demand for
finished products does not seem to in
crease. Structural forms are in large
demand, but sales of wire are about
30 per cent. less than last year, and
in other branches there is no percepti-
BILE gain.
Labor troubles are comparatively less
serious this week, and the tendency
Is toward larger returns for labor,
which will increase the consuming
power for other products. The cotton
mills are encouraged by improving
prices and are fairly busy.
Stocks have also been stronger, the
average rising being about $l.41 per
share in spite of comparatively poor
earnings. The hopeful outlook for the
principal crops gives more encourage
ment and also the increase in distribu-
tion of merchandise. The volume of
business represented by exchanges
through the principal clearing houses is
only 3.2 larger than last year for the
week and 2l.5 per cent. less than in
1888
Money markets are comparatively
dull, and the accumulation from the in
terror continues, although there is no
material increase in the commercial
demand. Foreign trade shows heavy
balance due abroad, and gold would un-
doubtedly go out in large amounts but
| for the negotiation Of bonds by the syn
dicates.
Failures during the past week have
been 241 in the United States against
2l9 last year, and "a in Canada against
45 last year.
