NEW YORK, Feb. 14--Aseptolin, the new
remedy for consumption, discovered BY DR..
Cyrus Edison, is being discussed public
ly. 1t was while studying phenol In hui
man secretions last year that DIR. Edison
was struck with the fact that during disease
the quantity of the solution was enormously
increased. He says:
"This reasoning naturally led me to think
that phenol was selected by nature for the
cure of some, at least, if not all, of the So
called germ diseases. OF course, the con-
clusion, which assumed great importance in
my mind, was this: II nature herself pro-
vides phenol during disease, then it cannot
be possible she will not tolerate the admins
tration of the agent in effective dosage.

Trade Situation Shows Effect Of Favor
able Influences.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Bradstreets
SAYS: While no radical improvement
has appeared in the general trade situ-
alton, more favorable influences are re-
ported than for some weeks The drop
in the temperature has affected the
movement of dry goods, hats and gro
ceries. Advices from Texas are that
country merchants are asking extern
sions, and reports from leading cities
South are that the recent relatively
favorable state Of trade ls marked by
less active demand in almost all lines.
No improvement is shown in demand
for cotton and wooden goods, manufac-
turers of each continuing to find cause
for complaint.
The record Of declining quotations
has continued for some varieties of, cot
tons, owing to reaction in the price Of
cotton, in the tendency of quotations of
wool to decline and lower prices of
wheat, flour, corn, oats, pork, lard and
netrOleum.

Signs That Steps Toward Reorganiza-

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-A morning
paper says: There are signs that steps
will be taken>for the reorganization of
the Northern Pacific railroad. It is be.
ieved an alliance with the Great
Norther has been given up for the
present, although the project may be
revived, after the Northern Pacific is
placed on its feet. and several legal
questions have been settled in the courts.
While Mr.. Morgan will probably take q
leading hand in the financing of the
property, it is said that the several in
terests are likely to come together and
compromise their differences in order
that the readjustment may be carried
through without delay. An effort to
agree upon common receivers which is
expected to meet with success in the
United States circuit court Of this dis
trict, is the first step in program.
There will probably be conference
within few days between Edward D..
