Wheat Deal.

Wheat Deal.
TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 3.-According to
a local paper Letter, the famous wheat
operator, who cornered the market in
Chicago, and who is shipping it as fast
as ever he can get hold Of it to British
warehouses, is representing the greatest
forces that ever took a hand in the
game Of the wheat pit.
The article draws attention to the
rumors of European war and the recent
expenditures of enormous sums for
the navy. In the event of wa,
Great Britain's food supply would
be endangered. For that reason she
must prepare. The article concludes:
Now, remember that yodng Letter
is nearly related to a member Of the
British gOvernment-that Letters sis.

British secretary Of state for foreign
atfalrs-and you have the whole chain
If possibilities that goes to make up
the striking rumor, if I'M it may be
called, that comes from Chicago.
Here is the confirmation. An emf.
nent Canadian, who has received
abundant evidence as to the high conf
dence in which he is held by his fellow
Canadians, has received from a CORE.
spondent in Chicago a letter which
declares that Letter is the agent
Of the British government for the
purchase Of IS much wheat as he can
lay his hands on. The correspondent
is in a position to have seen, and de.
clares he actually has seen the inside Of

Failures of 1897 Smaller in Liza
bilities Than Since
1892.
The New Year Opens With Much
Better Conditions Than
the Old.
Four Million Tons of Mesaba Iron
Ore to Be Shipped to
England.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says;
Failures for the year just closed have
been smaller in liabilities than in any
other year since 1892, in number small
er than in any year except 1895, and in
average liabilities per failure smaller
than in any other year during the last
% years, except four.
The aggregate Of all failures, com.
mercial and banking, was $3.50, 600, 600,
Of which $25, 500, 900 was in banking.
In $500 commercial failures the
amount Of liabilities was $154, 500, 900,
of which 500, 900, 600 was in manufac.
turing and S73, 100, 900 in trading, with
sl2, 1907 900 in brokerage and other
commercial lines. The average of liza.
bilities per failure was only s11, $50,
and in 1892 only Sll,O25, but only three
years in the past % were rivals-lSSS,
with $ll, sos; 1856, with 1861, and
1885, with $ll,O7S.

THE FUNCTION OF ETHER
Without 1t There Would Be No Light,
Radiant Heat or Magnetism.

ithOut 1t There Would Be No Light,
Radiant Heat or Magnetism.
whatever difficulties we may have
IN forming a consistent idea of the con-
%stltutlon Of the ether. there can be no
doubt that the interplanetary and inter.
stellar spaces are not empty, but are oc.
cupied by IA material substance or body
which is certainly the largest and prob
ably the most uniform body of which
We have any knowledge"
Such was the verdict pronounced
some 20 years ago by Games Clerk
Maxwell, one Of the very greatest Of
nineteenth century physicists, regard
ing the existence of an all ~pervading
plenum III the universe in which every
particle of tangible matter is immersed.
And this verdict may be said to express
the attitude Of the entire philosophical
world Of u day. Without exception
the authoritative physicists of our time
accept this plenum as a verify and rea-
son about it with something of the same
confidence they manifest in speaking of
"ponderable' matter or of energy. 1t is
true there are those among them who
are disposed TO deny that this all per-
vading plenum merits the name of mat
ter, but that it is a something, and a
vastly important something at that, all
are agreed. Without it, they allege, we
should know nothing Of light, Of radiant
heat, of electricity or magnetism. With
out 1t there would probably be no such
thing as gfavitatlon-nav, they even
hilg that without this strange some
thing, ether, there would be no such
thing as matter in the universe. If these
contentious of the modern physicist are
justified, then this intangible ether is
incomparably the most important as
we'll as the largest and most uniform
substance or body" in the universe. It's
discovery may we'll be locked upon as
the most important feat of our century.

There are three periods in all lifc-the
time Of the bud, Of the flower and Of the
perfect fruit. 1t is thus that girlhood
energies into w%omanhood and womanhood
into motherhood. Almost all Of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep-
ton in weakness and disease of the femi-
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood. These disor-
ders usually begin with puberty, childbirth
or with the turn of life" Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way,
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
ity of physicians. This is unnecessary.
An eminent and skil1ful specialist, DIR.
r. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
IN the privacy of the home. This medi-
cine IS known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that make wifchood
and motherhood possible. 1t makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t allays in
Illumination, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. 1t banishes the
indispositions Of the period Of impending
maternity, and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. 1t transforms weak.
sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers. All good medicine
dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will
