sUFFNRING IN THE INFERIOR.

The bituminous coal mining indu ustry is worse off, with rumors of strikes, which promise ito have an un- favorable influence on other than the iron and steel industries.
 Trade in wool is quieter. There is less life in the wholesale dry goods trade and little relief has been experienced, not withstanding the large auction sale of cotton goods last week, buyers conrtinu- ing to supply immediate needs only. The tendency towards more settled wea tlher has stimulated rail demand, more partic- ularly at the northwest notably for dry goods, hardware and millinery. The gen. eral tendency of the Mississippi flood to sulbside has created a better feeling, but not even the recent agricultural census reo2r'ds all rhe damage done.
 Country noadWays have begun to inn prove, which benefits interior merchants.
 The only large cities reporting an in- creased movement of mercha rdlse are St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, where the distribr ion of dry goods, shoes and hardware and building materi- als has been more conspicuous At al- most all other large centers there has been no material gain in industrial or commercial lines.

From WreclSage of ship Francis.
Beach Haven, N. J.. May 12.-Captain
F. r. Sharp, foreman Of the Merritt &
Chapman Derrick and WreclSing COM
pany, and Captain A. Doane, the rep
resentative of the owners of the burned
ship Francis, visited the wreck yes
terday. Captain Sharp stated that the
cargo between decks is a total loss,
but he believes, with the aid of divers,
that the cargo below can be saved.
Large quantities of the cargo have
washed out and come ashore. There
was a remarkable scene on the beach
when the news went forth that wreck
age was coming ashore. There was
a rush for the shore, and when the
report was verified that boxes of can
ned goods were floating in men, women
and children fought each other to get
the largest share of the spoils. The
surf was dotted with men up to their
shoulders in water, struggling with
rakes, picks and bare hands for cases
Of salmon and barrels of wine. The
sandhills were alive with vehicles of
all shapes and sizes, from wheelbar-
rows to farm wagons. Today there are
few homes not supplied with salmon
enough to last a lifetime, hundreds Of
cases Of the toothsome fish having
come ashore many of which still line
the beach Barrels of wine and Cali
fornia red cider are also heaped up on
the sands, but not in such large guam
titles.

Good Times Coming.

The confident belief is INDUCED
that the new tariff bill viii be
adopted and i'm effective action by the
first of July which is only a little
more than six weeks ahead of us. If
this possibility could be made an alb
solute certainty, it would go a great
way towards establishing confidence
i'm trade circles and putting business
on its feet, but doubtful things are
generally very uncertain There is
no telling what complications may
arise between to-day and the first of
July but the indications point un-
mistakably to "A speedy settlement of
this tariff agitation.
The various trade centres report an
improvement i'm business channels,
and investors are displaying much
more confidence than was manifested
a week or so ago. There is an i'm
provement also noted in the coal
trade, which win be cheering news to
the thousands of mine workers in the
anthracite coal regions.
Commenting upon this subject the
Wilkesbarre Record says From all
sides comes cheering news about the
coal trade. Although not so much
win be mined this year as in former
years the suffering occasioned by the
curtailment has already been endured
and for the balance of the year there
promises to I've general re awaken
ing of our great industry.
1T is not expected that more than
40,0OO,OOO tons viii be mined for the
whole year which is much less than
for the past seven years, but 2S, OOO
600 tons of this amount must be
shipped from now on. This means
pretty steady work for June, July,
August, September, October, Novem-
ber and December When 1000 900
tons must he mined month itmeaus
two-thirds time for the collieries, if
not more.
"An evidence of the solid condition
of the market was the Reading cir
cular issued Saturday increasing
prices on all sizes from 10 TO % cents.
If stocks were heavy this could not
be done right at the beginning of
summer But stocks are lighter now
than at the beginning of the year,
and moreover there is an actual
scarcity Of egg and broken at this
moment The output so far this year
is 1000, 600 tons less than for the same
time last year, which very readily
accounts for light stocks and for in
creasing prices.
The argument i'm favor of solid
prosperity now near at hand is thus
pretty strong in evidence and while
our people have had little TO do and
much adversely to bear for some time
back the turn i'm the lane is now in
aight. AS used to Doe said a few years

often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

wish in relieving pain in the back kidneys,
liver bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity Of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won

ually bends, the bones ache, while de.
crepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body.
Under this treatment, it is but a short
step from vigor and health to a pair
of CrutChes. With this wreck of the
system often comes falling of the hair
and eyebrows, loss of finger nails,
and decay of the bones-a condition
most horrible. This is no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day is full OF
these hobbling mercurial wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse Of man
kind. Until the discovery of S. S. s.,
it was incurable. 1t has always baf-
fled the doctors, and it is in this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort to Counteract the
poison. While they succeed in bottling
up the poison in the system, it always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
1t is the same in other diseases of
the blood. ScrOfula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-mercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer a remedy purely vegetable
powerful in it's effect, yet harmless in
every way. For fifty years S. S. S.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the mildest case,
after all other treatment failed. 1t is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and one
thousand dollars reward is offered for
proof to the contrary. 1t is a real
blood remedy for real blood troubles,
and never fails to cure Contagious
Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu-
matism, Cancer, or any other disease
of the blood. If you have a blood dis
ease, take a remedy which will not
injure you. Beware of mercury dor t
