SUGAR TRADE TO BE GOOD.
The trade in refined sugar is likely
to he good during the summer. owing
to the absence (eNccpt in America) of
stocks in consumers hands. especially
in Germany, where the duty payments
during August and May were upon
only $4,000 tons. against G35. 900 tons
and 511,0oO tons in the two previous
seasons. thus showing that invisible
supplies last year, owing to the duty
changes. must have been very large

and spot rice is of poor quality. We

quiet, with small transactions. Sell

count of the improved demand for re-
fined sugar, but refiners continue in
the market as buyers at last prices.
and appear ready to take all the sugar
importers offer them. The demand
for refined has been considerably in
creased owing to the prospects of the
passage of tariff bill in the Senate.

To Cure Catarrh,

Do not depend upon snuffs, inha-
lants or other local applications
Catarrh is constitutional disease,
and can be successfully treated only
by means of constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which thor.
oughly purifies the blood and re-
moves the scrofulous taints which
cause catarrh. The great number OF
testimonials from those who have
been cured of catarrh by Hoods
Sarsaparilla prove the unequaIled
power of this medicine to conquer this
disease. If troubled with Catarrh
give Hoods Sarsaparllla fair trial
at once.

8 Costly Jol,e.

A Berlin correspondent tells as true
a story about a joke that resulted some
what seriously for the man who invent
ed it. This person was incredulous
about the discriminating appreciation
of wines which a distinguished friend
of his claimed to possess, and to test
the matter invited him to dine at ho-
tel whose landlord had previously been
instructed to set before the connoisseur
a bottle of excellent moselle 1t was to
bear no label or other marks to distin-
guish it from win ordinaire, and if
questioned the landlord was to say that
it cost only a small price. The invita-
tion was accepted, and the plot was
carried out. The guest had hardly taken
a single sip from his glass, however be-
fore he proved the injustice of his hosts
suspicion by exclaiming over the merit
of the wine. He summoned the land
lord, and on hearing that its price was
marks instantly ordered 900 bottles
of the same vintage. The order was
filled, and the host, rather than reveal
the failure of his trick, paid the differ
ence between the alleged and real price,
which amounted to something over
1000 marks.
