few of the men have retained an at

til their wrongs have been righted.

WOOL EXCHANGE CLOSED.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-No business was
transacted on the floor of the wool exchange
this morning. The doors were not opened, as
it had been decided by the directors to
suspend operations temporarily. This de-
cison was reached at a meeting he'd yes
terday and the cause Of the action was set
forth in the following statement issued by
President Allan McNaughton
Owing to the depressed condition of the
wool market, and It appearing that improve
ment in that direction is not likely to occur
for some time, it has been deemed advisable
far the hest interests of the corporation and
its stockholders to discontinue all further
operations in wool until better outlook pre-
sents itself.
The corporation however, will devote its
energies to the advancement or Its otherwise
profitable business interests. The corporation
is in excellent financial condition, having no
floating debts of any kind.
Allan McNauglton.
One of the officers OF the exchange said:
1--WE have plenty OF wool hand, about
Is COO 900 pounds, scattered about IN various
warehouses outside the city. The entire wool
market is inactive. Until the wool gets out
of the first and second hands and the manu-
facturers buy It. the market will remain in
active. This same thing happened in the
Chicago wool exchange in 1896. and the eX-
change was temporarily closed. Boston, a
great wool center is not selling any wool
now. The New York wool exchange has
plenty of wool in the bank and is backed with
strong securities. When the market is more
active the wool exchange will reopen"

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles
Quickly, PainIessIy, without
Danger.
People go along for years suffering
with piles. Then try this, and that
and the other thing; from carrying a
buckeye to getting treatment from a
physician. They obtain temporary re-
lief, maybe, but they are never quite
cured. A little strain in lifting, ex-
cessiVe fatigue, q little constipation or
a little diarrhoea and the piles come
back.
They don't seem to amount to much
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position IS comfortable. There is In
tense local pain and that dreadful feel
ing of weight in the perineum:
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case Is Of long
standing there is only one speedy and
sure remedy. 1t is Pyramid Pile Cure
Even in light cases it is the safest
thing to use. Other applications may
cure and may not. Pyramid Cure is
always certain, always reliable and al
ways brings comfort at once. It's
prompt use saves months Of severe
suffering. In extreme cases it will save
surgical operations and their attendant
dangers and discomforts.
1t is better than the knife. VIII cure
easier, quicker and safer. Thousands
have used 1t. Thousands have been
cured by it.
The cost is trif1ing compared with
what 1t does. The price is 80 cents.
Most anybody would gladly pay ten
dollars to be rid of piles.
