New York, Feb. -Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Severe cold weather, accompanied by
high winds and heavy SHOWS, has been
a feature exercising considerable infiu-
ence upon the movement and the distri.
button of staple goods this week. Tho
Northern and Eastern States appear
to have felt the effects of the storm
most severely. In spite of this imterrlp-
ton of business satisfactory trade for
the season is reported in most lines with
special activity reported in the iron and
steel trades and kindred lines. In tho
East the distribution of dry goods and
wool has been checked and the move.
ment of produce greatly interfered with
but the tone of the cotton goods sit
uation is, il anything, improved. In
the middle States and in the central
West the movement of iron into con.
sumption is still very large but nervous.

IDTN IA COS. REYIEW.

New York, Feb Ar. G.. Dun and
Company's weekly review of trade will
say iii its issue of tomorrow:
Actual payments through clearin
houses in January made a remarkable
showing, being much larger than in any
previous month, 1868 per cent larger
than the same month last year and IL
per cent larger than in 1892 The fail
llres in January were smaller than Iii
any previous year of which there is re-
cord. and We're probably smaller than
in any other January since 1881. The
statement iby branches of business Civ
en- this week shows a surprising gain in
most departments of manufacture and
trade. Meanwhile the money market
is as confident as ever: gold does not
come from Europe in large amount only
BECAUSE bankers find it worth while
to lend American money abroad and the
common coal balances are heavily in
favor of the United States as hereto
fore.
Perhaps the most striking feature Of
the week has been the decline in wheat.
With exports of 3,094,517 bushels, a
gainst 1.770,546 last year, -four includ-
ed, from Atlantic ports, and 776,S40
from Pacific ports against S44,343 bush
els last year, the temper of the market
has been weaker. The report of the
Agricultural Department has had some
influence, although its figures are not
generally credited ais reliable. The
wheat market has turned largely upon
the operations of a Chicago speculator.
but the fact remains that the price de-
ponds largely upon foreign needs and
upon the comparative scarcity of Ameri-
can supply The outgo of corn contin-
ues heavy, 3,79S.7S6 bushels against g.
343, 400 for the same week last year,
and the excess over last year, when
exports were much the greatest ever
known, indicates a very heavy foreign
demand. The spot price of cotton re-
mains unchanged. but the fact that re-
ceipts continue larger than during the
same week of 1895. after the heaviest
crop ever known, checks speculative OPP
erations for an advance.
The iron and steel manufacture IS
steadily gaining in consumption of pig
iron, althofdgh the production of the
material is still in excess of immediate
demands, but not enough to cause a de-
cline in prices at Pittsburg or Chicago.
Even the Southern producers are able
to get fair price at Chicago and at
the East, and anthracite pig is unchang-
ed. The demand for finished products
has been very heavy, and includes for
structural work 5000 tons for the State
capitol building in Pennsylvania, 1000
tons for the court house at Denver, 81
600 tons for elevated railways at Chi

The United States is to add anoth-

land.
The postal service is breaking all
records during the present war; said
an officer of the department. this

the land, or world for that matter,
would have thought it possible for us
to have postoffice in fine working
order at Manila, thousands of miles
away by this time, or on the south
ern coast of Cuba?

that he will accept the responsibility

ASTHMA'S PROGRESS.
From Cold to Cure.
No relief in other remedies.

There are many medicines that palliate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for time the oppressed breathing
of the sufferer. There are few diseases
more troublesome and more irritating
than asthma. It interferes alike with
business aud with pleasure. 1t. prevents
enjoy rnent of the day and makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed by thousands as the greatest posi-
BILE boon that could be offered them. There
is remedy for asthma. DR.. J. C.lAyer's
Cherry Pectora1 has cured hundreds of
cases of this disease, and testimonials to
its efficacy from those who have tried the
remedy are multiplying with every year.
The cases presented in the testimonials
that follow, may be taken as exemplifying
the quick and radical action of this great
remedy.
