BRADsTRREET's REVIEW.

New Yorw, Nov. 10 Bradstreefs to-
morrow will say:
There is a moderate improvement in
staple prices and in distribution of wool
en- goods. shoes. hats and hardware in
the region tributary to Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. In
South Carolina, Tennessee and Louis
lana, jobbers report a moderate revival
in demand from interior merchants
which represents some of the business
delayed by yellow fever guarantees.
Trade reports from Georgia and Texas
are quite irregular Some cotton plant
ers are compelled to sell cotton at loss
to meet advances made earlier in the
season and have little or no surplus
with which to buy merchandise. Others,
notably in Texas, continue to hold cot
ton, which delays mercantile collections
and in some sections has an unfavorable
influence. Colder weather northwest
and in the central Mississippi and Mis-
souri, river valleys has helped retail
trade. Manufacturers Of iron, steel, ag-
rieultural implements, stoves, railway
cars and wooden goods report an active
demand and large output, although the
appearance of speculative steel has re-
suited in weakening the price of billets

present rate il consumption contI1 ues.
Lower prices for wheat, flour and pork
are expected to recognize the advances
on wheat and Indian corn, so that a
lower price for copper is practically the
only important decline in the week.
Wheat exports show heavy increase
alike over last week and last year, and
with one exception, that of the second
week in September, is the largest single
weeks total on record. The total ex-
ports of wheat, flour included as wheat)
from both coasts of the United States
and Montreal this week aggregate g.
653, 792 bushels, against 5,445,542 bush
els last week, 1897 900 bushels in the
week year ago, 100000 bushels in
1895, 3,312,675 bushels in 1894 and g
764,0S0 bushels in 1893. The total ex-
ports in the second week of September,
1891 were 6,974000 bushels. Corn ex-
ports also show gain, aggregating 81
209,790 bushels for the week, against
2,975,721 last year, 1,743,000 in 1895,
and $4,000 in 1894.
There were 235 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States this
week compared with 273 last week, 308

A SECOND JEFFERSON.
What a Stubborn Fellow This Man
Bryan Is."
fStatesyilIa Mascot.l


What a stubborn fellow this man
Bryan is! 1t was given out by our wisest
and best North Carolina newspapers just
after the election in 1886 that he could
not hold his popularity and write books
at the same time. These same papers
advised him, as he loved his political
life, to go into his hole and pull his hole
in after him. They quoted some anti
quated saying of a hanger-on of Eng
lands effete Court that ran something
like this: ooh that mine enemy would
write book" They gave us daily and
semi-weekly installments of what was
going to happen to poor Bryan, and the
tears which they shed over his prospec-
tive downfall, were like unto the tears
of a mother for her first born. But
Bryan needed them not. His book ap-
peared, and he continued to speak for
his cause. And, strange to say, it is con-
coded by almost all people that he is
stronger to-day than before.

No More
Rheumatism

1t is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood
Is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try a lifetime. but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.

HOW TO OBSERVE NOVEMBER %.
(Christian Advocated

This is the day set apart by the Presi-
dent of the United States seconded by
the Governors OF the different States as
day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God.
Meet it is that this should be a national
day, for God is the Father of Nations.
Miserable must be the man who feels
that he has nothing for which to feel
thankful to God. There is no place this
side OF the gates OF perdition, where a
man, no matter how unfortunate in his
own eyes his lot, may not find something
for which to feel feryently thankful to
his Father in heaven.
