How They Do business in Peru.

AS to commercial business, the Peruvians
have allowed it to go almost entirely into
foreign hands. Many of them are ashamed
to be engaged in trade, and they have as
people, no business instincts. There are
not half dozen native firms in Peru
which now do what would be called a
large business. The signs over the stores
of Lima are German, French, Italian, En-
giish and Chinese. There are about %, 900
Chinese in Peru, the most of whom were

The coming week at the Academy of
Music promises a feast of fun which has
not been excelled at that theatre for many
a day and which will make good all the
-extravagant promises of the advertising
headlines. Ward & Vokes as Percy &
Harold" have a following in every city
in the country and it is to their innumer-
able friends in all sections that they have
aimed their production of the present
season, 9TH Governors" The vehicles
which serves. for Ward & vokes this year
is called 1.-THE Governors" for the sake of
a name. and it is described as a variety
farce no plot, no sense, no rhyme, no
reason, but plenty of fun; ar evening fill
ed with laughter and clever specialties.
The class of support to be found with
Ward & Vok certainly vouches for the
superior style of the entertainment. for
in the cast are found Lucy DAILY. Mar
garet DAILY Vokes, Villa Sage, John Keefe,
Johnny Page, Gus G. Weinberg, The
~Troubadour Four and many others, all
serving to complete a mpan of thirty
two people. The production is in every
sense one of merit and caters to the very
highest class of theatregoers; it is staged
in a perfect manner with settings from
the brush of Henry Voegtlin, and its cos
tuning is most elaborate and expensive.

ment of liver, kidney and heart disease,
as we'll as nervous diseases.
Every one knows that the heart does
the work of a pump. From the dawn of
life till death 1T never ceases pumping
blood into the arteries, and every heart
beat results from a nerve impulse. When
the nerve centers become reduced there
follows a. gradual increasing feebleness,
the heartNbeats5 ~irregularly, there is a
loss of nervous and muscular force, the
limbs refuse their support, appetite fails
and sleep becomes u~nattainable. The
progress towards a heartier appetite,
sounder sleep, firmer pulse, shows the
profound invigorating effect of Paine's
celery compound upon the nerve fbres
all over the body.
Progress toward health is steady and
uniform when Paine's celery compound is
employed. 1t stops night sweats-that
sure indication of growing feebleness and
of wasting diseases-and there is a no.
ticeable freedom from those nervous
twitchings of the muscles and numbness
in the limbs that are precursors of par
alysis n painful chorea. SO common
among oyerworked worried people who
are about to break down with some form
of nervous debility.

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
[From Bradstreet's estate of Trade. u

[From Bradstreet's Estate of Trade."1
4 number of favorable circumstances
and events present themselves this week.
Perhaps the most notable of these are the
renewed activity and confidence in the
iron and steel market, Dy
prompt and even rapid advances in sew
erdl grades of crude pig iron and steel
and the advance in the price of raw
til the present week. What might be
regarded as a minor feature in the BUSH
ness situation, though at the same time
conveying much that is hopeful to the
interests involved, is a quite general i'm
provement in distributive trade and de-
mand in the central west and in the
SOUTH, where spring trade is reported
opening in good shape. Less favorable
features of the week are the slowness of
spring trade in dry goods to develop at
New York and other eastern eenters,
except Boston, and she mild weather in
the northwest rendering 1t likely that re-
tailers' stocks carried over will be larger
than earlier expected: Although the aa-
vance in cotton has been claimed to De
too rapid, it has undoubtedly impaired a
much more cheerful tone to the southern
business situation, and with the advance
in iron and steel has done much to aid
TO the confidence with which the trade
outlook for 1898 is regarded.
Bank elearings continue to point to an
immense cuisines doing in the country, at
large. in a total aggregating for the week
81, 434, 600. 600, less than 2 per cent. smaller
than last week. 50 per cent. iarger~tfan
in the corresponding week EdSt year. 90
per cent. larger than this week in 1896,
IA per cent. larger than in 1885, 50 per
cent. larger than in 1894 and 6.3 per cent.
larger than this week in 1892.
London purchasing of stocks on a large
scale is a feature of the New York stock
market. Reaction produced by the De
LONE incident and Cuban resolutions in
the Senate early this week has given place
10 further bullish demonstrations and
speculation is influenced by a variety of
consolidat ton r%efunding and dividend-in-
creased reports. The Nanderbilts show
great stength, a deal similar to that IN
Lake George being expected in Michigan
Central. Great interest sshown in the out
come of the Kansas Pacific sale and the
demand of the government for payment
of the full claim and interest. New York
traction stocks are very strong on a
prospective stock dividend by Metropolis
ian. Bonds have been phenomenally ac-
tive and generally strong, Union Pacific
and Atchison issues being the features.
Foreign exchange is higher on investment
buying of bills. Demand sterling is strong
at 4.S5s@4.S5A.
Wheat exports fall slightly below last
weeks reduced total, a~ggregating for the
week 3,419. 504 bushels, against 3.6So.Qo0
bushels last week. 2,051 900 bushels in the
corresponding week of 1897, 2.7ls,0a0 bushels
in 1896. 2.5I2,0W bushels in 1885 and 2,O0o,90V
bushels in 1894. Corn exports show Il gain
amounting as they do to 4,50S,G0O bushels;
against 4,104. 900 bushels last week, 4.16g,000
bushels in this week last year, 3,143.0I0
bushels in 1896 and $685. 600 bushels in 1898.
