CHEAP MONEY IN NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON. Dec. fs.-In speaking Of
the present situation of the New York
market. Mr.. Coffin. the acting comptroller

European city. and lower rian In London
Berlin. Hamburg or Amsterdam. In
these centers rates ranged from 2is to 3j2

This fully accounts for the non-hnport
OF gold BY the United States, although
our heavy exports OF cotton, corn and
wheat have established large balance of
trade In our favor. This rs all the more
remarkable while such large amounts of
money are needed for moving our great
crops, and there Is s237 COO 600 OF money

Free From
Rheumatism,

If the people generally knew the true
cause of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as linimsnts and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease:
The fact is. Rheumatism is a disordered
state of the blood--it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood. But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheunia-
tism, for it is an obstinate disease. one
which requires seaI blood remedy
something more than mere tonic.
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu-
matism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash and
mercury, and though temporary relief
may result, these remedies produce
stiffness of joints and only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatism know that it becomes
more severe each year.
