WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing Hopkins company's Review
of Trade,


of Trade.
One could write yards of matter and
fill innumerable columns OF space in
attempting to describe the wheat mar
ket and its variations this week, giving
reason for each and every movement.
A wellknown operator puts it correctly
and tersely when he says ''the market
is suffering from too much news and
too many statistics. +" There is all
kinds of news in wheat, and statistics
enough to supply everybody, but
whether traders are any better for hav-
ing SO much information is a question.
Figures themselves don't lie, but it is
said liars can figure, and they evidently
have been doing it in manner that
may be satisfactory to themselves but
certainly not soul-tilling enough for the
public who are growing rather chsry Of
statistlcians and their methods.
In speaking of figures. it must be
confessed that they are unusually favor
able for higher prices, but they, like
bad crop reports, are ignored. The
visible supply for the week was cut L.,
407, 900 bushels. The total is now &c.
023 900 bushels, compared with 61,-
045, 900 bushels last year; for the same
week one year ago, difference OF 49,,
900, geo bushels. The worlds stock for
the week underwent decrease of about
5000, 900 bushels. Worlds shipment
for three weeks have been under 4 900,
900 bushels, while the supposed or esti-
mated requirements of the importing
countries is 1880, 900 bushels per week.
Wheat and -four on ocean passage de-
+ creases steadily, and this week was re-
duced 1900, 600 bushels. IL that is
not phalanx OF figures to warrant pur-
chases of wheat, the buyer had better
90 out of the business. Sad to relate
however, statistics have little effect
upon the market. and professional sell
lers go right ahead, never thinking that
there is the barest sort of possibility of
day of reckoning before the new crop
is in the shock.
Corn has held its own, and there is
very little change to be noted in the
market. That corn possesses merit on
its own account has been and is daily
demonstrated by the course of the mar

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
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. It's 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 arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative.
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
