puN,s BUSINESS REVIEW.
waiting is Still the RuIe in the Cen
eral Market

eral Market
New YORK, March l6.-R. G. Dun &
Co IS weekly review of trade says:
Waiting is still the rule Large
hope, but little actual business, ex-
plains the strength of some markets
and the weakness of others. The
feeling that the spring of 1896 ought
to bring larger business will not suf-
fee to meet expenses all the season If
the larger business does not come.
1t is especially noteworthy that
prices of materials have varied quite
differently from prices of manufac-
tured products, although in most cases
the advance last fall was commenced
by extraordinary uplifting of prices
for materials. Thus, cotton is 27.9
per cent higher than a year ago, but
cotton goods average only 1917 Ier
cent. Wool is about So per cent
higher than a year ago, but wooden
goods are, on the whole, about per
cent lower. Pigiron is only IL per
cent higher than a year ago, while
finished products of iron and steel
average IS per cent higher. These
compa risons are important because
they disclose something of the grave
dislocation of prices which inadequate
consumption and combinations have
produced.

TEN MILLION TONS OF COAL.
New Tork Annually Consumes This
Amount with Little Smoke.

New IOrk Annually Consumes This
Amount with Little Smoke.
A prominent New York coal mer-
chant, while showing Pittsburg friend
about New York on the occasion Of the
latters first visit to the metropolis, took
him to the top of one Of the very high
est buildings in town and pointed OUT
to him the different objects of interest
that could be seen, says the Mail and
Express. The western man took in the
beautiful view of the bay and then
looked northward over miles and miles
of roofs and chimneyS, over the vast
eXpanSe of street and park, business
buildings and dwellings and then
turned to his friend with the remark
that the most astonishing thing to him
was that it was so clear. Not a blot OF
smoke marred the landscape. C1ear
and brilliant in the sun of a winter day
New York was clean and neat and the
greatest possible contrast to the dingy
and grimy cities of the west. where the
use of coal is not restricted to certain
kinds. New Workers have made
study of the combustion OF coal and
they have learned how to get the most
out Of it with the least dirt and smoke
The enormous amount of 100000 tons
of anthracite coal is now burned every
year in New York and this is not at all
remarkable when it is considered to
what an extent the use of coal enters
into the everyday life of the people
The coal dealers OF New York are le-
gion and the business has grown to
immense proportions. The ease with
which coal can be shipped to New York
and unloaded in order to get it to the
market with the least possible han
ding has contributed to a great extent
TO the success which New York coal
merchants have attained

Harvex,s .soientifio. Money.

''Out of the wisdom of man came the
these metals to be coined into money at
a ratio in weight of 16 to 1, or in the
ratio provided from time to time. The
option was given by law for the people
to use money made from either metal,
neither redeemable in the other, but
each of itself money. The option was
with the debtor, the person getting the
money in motion The debtor thus con-
trolled the demand, and as demand
gives value, the supply being limited,
this option to the debtor shifted the de-
mand from gold to silver or silver to
gold as each increased or decreased IN
quantity. The debtor used the one
most accessible; so if silver became
cheaper the demand was shifted to it,
and this brought it back to parity
with gold, and vice versa"
How ridiculous! The idea that we can
have a scientific or just system Of
money which gives debtors the option
of paying in two or more metals at
fixed ratios! The chief work of money
is to facilitate exchanges. Who pre-
fers to make contracts in uncertain
terms? What merchant would care to
give farmers credit and to give them
the option of paying in wheat at so
cents, corn at 40 cents, oats at 20 cents
or potatoes at 15 cents per bushel? And
who but the farmers themselves would
pay for the risks and uncertainties il
a merchant were compelled by law to
give credit only in this way?

not be put In jeopardy by the uncer-

currency; the wrong Of insisting that
the CELLAR pasd to the wage Garner shall
30 worth 100 cents and shall not be
cut down to 50 cents"

Her House Nearly Destroyed By an Oil
Stove.
At about IL o'clock this forenoon the
house of Mrs Lucy Whitbeck, a widow
living at 400 Park street, was dis
covered to be on fire. The building is
two story structure, frame, situated
straight across the road to the north Of
the high school building. The fire had
got under quite serious Roadway before
it was discovered. Mrs. Whitbeck was
not at home at the time. Some of the
neighbors saw the smoke issuing from
the building and sent in an alarm The
greater portion of the house was ruined,
especially in the kitchen part. There
was not a cent of insurance on the
place, and it is estimated that the loss
will reach at least 5000 to $3.50. 1t is
believed that the fire was caused by an
oil stove which Mrs. Whitbeck left
burning when she left the house. The
loss is a severe one to Mrs. Whitbeck,
who has had considerable struggle to
get along. The neighbors thnreabouts
express the utmost sympathy for her.

GIudness Comes

With better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infor1nede everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Gsedand gives most general satisfaction.
