New York, Oct. Or. G. Dun e. Co.'S.
Weekly Review of Trade. tomorrow
will say:
Distinctly better conditions have APP
peared of late, and are reflected in
somewhat larger employment of labor,
in larger transactions and in continued
buying of materials for manufacture.
A great part of the change is due to
those resistless laws of supply and
demand which takes wheat where it is
wanted, and gold where it is wanted.
India is waiting for cargoes of wheat
on the way from Pacific States,
just as Australia and South Africa
were, not long ago. The surplus us
ually available from India disappears,
and the surplus from Russia and Euro
pean countries is reduced according to
late estimates, 100000 bushels. Hap
PLY. this country has a supply which
official accounts have not correctly
measured, if actual movements do not
greatly mislead. Western receipts for
the week were 7,243, 900 bushels, a.
gainst 1881 ,474 last year and this fol-
lows an increase of 100000 bushels
in receipts during the quarter ending
September 30. Atlantic exports, $685.
OIL bushels, flour included. for the
week, against 1,T07, 629 last year, are
not yet so large as to force prices up
ward if European~@buying based on
European needs did not control our
markets. A feature of large impor-
lance too, is the unusually heavy for
eign demand for corn, which is a rare
~ failing sign of deficient crops
abroad, where other grains are used
when wheat becomes scarce and dear
Buying of cotton has been checked
by heavy receipts from plantations,
1,222, 287 bales having come into sight
in September, against 542, 394 last year.
The price has dropped ,seven-six-
teenths for the week, and fewer now
have confidence in a crop of only seven
million bales.
Failures for the week were 296 in
the United States, against POS last year,
and As in Canada against SO last year.
BRADSTREET'S REPcRT.
New York, Oct. 9.-BradSireet's to-
morrow viii say:
Colder weather, continued heavy re-
ceipts of cotton and wheat and other
influences have stimulated demand for
staple goods at various points, but
the volume of trade remains moderate,
without material change from week
ago. The tendency at some centers is
to a smaller volume of trade but the
general outlook is for an improved de-
mand after election. Interior nser-
chants adhere to the hand to-mouth
policy of buying and wholesale mer-
chants are inclined to examine into
credits closely. Except in the cotton
and wheat regions, mercantile collec-
tions continued unsatisfactory. Trade
improvement is reported from Atlanta,
Augusta, Charleston, Birmingham, New
Orleans and Texas cities.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for re-
storing the tired-out nervous system
to a healthy vigor, is Electric Bitters,
This medicine is purely vegetable, acts
by giving tone to the nerve centres in
the stomach, gently stimulates the
Liver and Kidneys, and aids these or
gans in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion and is pro
nounced by those who have tried ii
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc. or 81
per bottle at John Y. MacRae's drug
store.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-10-10

Do not let anyone persuade you to
take anything else instead of Simmons
Liver Regulator. Some merchants will
try to do this, but not for your good.
They do it to make little more jrofit
ON something which is of an inferior
quality, though you must pay just as
much for the bad as for the good. Be
sure to take Simmons Liver Regulator,
and nothing else. Look for the red z
on every package.
