FINANCE AND TRADE.
Wages Reduced in the War Of Rival Iron
Trade Interests.

Wages Reduced In the War Of Rival Iron
Trade Interests.
New York, Feb. 13.-n. c. Dun G.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: No
other event Of the week approaches IN
Importance the disruption Of the steel
rail pool. In two days after It a
greater tonnage of rails was probably
purchased than the entire production
last year, reported as 800 000 tons. and
instead Of S2S in December and SIS in
January S17 is now the price at which
works east and west are seeking or
ders, the Carnegie company even sell
ing at S17. Chicago delivery. These
sales viii employ many thousand
hands, with an important decrease in
the cost Of track laying or renewals to
railroads.
Even more important Is the result
that reconstruction of the billet pool
will be impossible as long as the con-
test over rails continues, and the man
ufacturer of structural forms, bars,
rods, wire, nails, tin plates and many
other products has a chance to secure
cheap material. In the near future
also is the struggle between the two
great companies producing AIesabi
iron ore, one allied with the Illinois
Steel and the other with the Carnegie
company, which is expected to bring
about lower prices for ore, and to push
many mines to their utmost capacity.
But in the war of rival interests wages
are already reduced by some large
concerns.
Speculations in products has hardly
been more active than Of late, and
prices generally tend downward. Wheat
rose a cent on Tuesday, but has since
declined 2.37 cents. The cotton market
has been depressed in like manner by
estimates that the American crop
would prove S,65O,OOO bales, but the
quantity coming into sight has also
surpassed previous guesses and indi-
cate a larger crop than most specula-
tors estimate.
Failures for the past week have been
in the United States, against 321
st year, and 61 in Canada, against 81
laSt year.

remedies was no nero theorist. Prof Edward
J.. Phelps, NJ. d., IL. D of the Dartmouth
Medical School, had accumulated the most
absolutely convincing evidence of the re-
markable virtue of his great discovery
enough to satisfy the most skeptically inclined
person, before he offered Paines celery com
pound to his fellow practitioners and to the
world.
For absolute reliability in routing out obsti-
nate disorders from the system there is moth
ing that at all resembles or approaches it,.
Paine's celery compound should be taken by
everyone who is trying to get rid of nerve or
blood diseases or a disordered condition of
the liver or kidneys.
Such evidences of an unhealthy condition
as those constant headaches, melancholy, dys-
repsia or constipation rapidly disappear under
the cleansing, regulating action Of Paine's
celery compound.
Don't confuuud Paine's celery compound
with the ign GRANT, eatch-penny, sbort-lived
remedies, sarsaparllas. neryines and tOnics
that bear as much resemblance to Paine's
celery compound as the parasite vines do ia
the oaks that they live on. Don't take any
thing less than Paine's celery compound.

purchased the potatoes and a wife and eight
children were starving ~ can't pay you,
said the head Of the family, and if twill do
you more good to take the potatoes from the
mouths of these children than 10 lose the
