One of the foremost educators in
America. Principal L. l.. Camp, of the

Paine's celery compound the greatest

Such men as State treasure Colvin,
OF New York, Mr. Carlisle's private
secretary, Mayor McShane. of Montreal,
Rev FIR Ouellet, Commodore Howell,
eX-Minister to Austria. John NJ. Fran
els, Edmund Russell, and q host Of
others whose character and learning
are recognized by the world, have pub
licly stated that when they were sick
it was Paines celery compound that
made them well.
Thousands Of equally responsible.

and women, whose word in their own

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE,
Observation-Disclosures

New York, February 2S.-R. G. Dun
& Co. S weekly review of trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say:
In some quarters business gains; at
the west rather than at the east, but
there is no general change for The bet
ter. although hopefulness still predom-
mates. The want of sufficient demand
for the products Of great industries still
retards actual Improvement Strikes
Of some Importance in garment max
ing and kindred lines affect trade in
Chicago and Baltimore, but there are
fewer labor difficulties than usual as
existing conditions warn wage learners
that controversies at this time are un-
wise.
Wheat has taken a fight upward, ad-
vanCiGg 81 cents for cash and rs for
May with rumors Of foreign supplies
as the only basis. Estimates of wheat
in farmers hands are lower than last
year. but still indicate with visible
stocks a supply much beyond probable
needs.
The market for textile goods is dis
appointing. Material reductions in
cottons have not brought out the need
ed demand and the further decline in
brown sheetings this week to as cents
corresponds With reports that mills Of
some Importance may prefer TO arrest
production for a time unless demand
improves.
Prices are still unchanged, as the de-
mand of foreign manufacturers for the
American market keep prices up
abroad.
Tie feature in trou has been the large
demand for wrought and cast pipe, 200
miles of wrought having been taken for
the Standard Oil Company, and some
for other companies, with $50 miles
wanted for Russia, while New York
contracts for $500 tons pipe have been
placed at the lowest prices ever known,
S17.50 TO S17.65 per ton. Large orders
for structural work are received at
Chicago and expected at the east. as
building plans are unusually large. but
sheets sell slowly and rails very little
though bar is fairly active. with many
orders coming for cars Iron quota
tons average 2 per cent. for the week.
because of the drop in Bessemer at
Pittsburg 10 $3.50, and in Grey Forge
to S10.75.
Failures for the week have been 27S
in the United States, against 250 last
year, and 5S in Canada, against IS last
year.
