WORKING NIGHT AND DAY.
One Large Steel Concern is Even Re
ported to Be Running on Sunday.

One Large Steel Concern is Even Re
ported to Be Running on Sunday.
New York, Jan 29-R. G. Dun & Co.'S.
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The first month of the new year has
brought rather more increase in bust
ness, but less improvement in prices
than was expected. With payments
through clearing houses 1-3 per cent
larger than in 1892, and probably the
largest ever known in any month; with
railroad earnings 11.2 per cent larger
than the best of past years the fact
that prices are very low only shows
more clearly the increase in quantities
OF products sold. Nor is there any
disposition to refuse orders, even at
present prices; indeed the competition
of manufacturers seeking orders alone
prevents a rise. Most of them have all
they can manage, many working night
and day, and one great steel concern
running on Sunday, but the works not
yet filed with orders are seeking con-
tracts at as low prices as have ever
been made, indicating that even these
are not entirely Improbable.
The settlement of wages on 10 per
cent advance April 1 for 100000 coal
miners of the central region with other
mand for products of all kinds, though
also toward some increase in cost of
manufacture.
Wheat has been conspicuous. rising
cents for the week, with SIS cents for
May options. Western receipts have
been 10,O09, 053 bushels in four weeks,
against 6,045,711 last year, but Atlantic
exDOrts have been 120 128 bushels in
four weeks, against 7,O13,974 last year
and Pacific exports, without Tacoma,
for the week 4,O15,583 bushels, against
3.454, 995 las year. So heavy an outgO,
with wheat over 81 per buShel, and with
corn exports for the four weeks equal
ing the extraordinary movement of last
wear, diScIOSeS the strength of foreign
demand even better than current ac-
counts of disappointing shipments from
Argentine and poor prospects in Rus
STA.
Cotton has risen a sixteenth, notwith-
standing the strikes in eastern mills
and the official report of a decrease of
1O5 per cent in British exports of cot
ton goods last year.
The wooden manufacture is doing
well, fine wOrsted goods having opened
at an advance of 20 per cent over last
year, and the large mills are constant
" buying wool, even at current high
prices which implies great confidence
in the future which presumably has
larger orders than are publicly reported.
Failures for the week have been 342
in the United States, against 331 last
year, and "a in Canada, against 81 last
year.

USE FOR POPCORN.
A Natural and Healthy Proceed
ing.

Those who prefer good food and ma
tural living as a means of health, rath-
er than the drug habit, will be interest
ed to know that many obstinate cases
of constipation are greatly helped by
eating a good quantity, (say a double
handfuD of popped corn.
It should be thoroughly maSticated
and eaten perhaps in place of the even
ing meal
The effect is likely to be felt in the
morning and generally produces re-
suits satisfactory to the user.
Then the far back cause of the trou-
bic should be sought out and reme-
died
Very often indeed the cause comes
from a weakened condition of the deli
cate nerves and muscles of the intes-
tines and they are simply powerless to
do their work.
Coffee is, in the majority of cases,
the active cause of this weakened con-
dition as will be plainly shown by a
return to health and strength in these
parts when coffee is left off for a month
and Postum Cereal Food Coffee used.
The latter furnishes the food elements
needed to quickly rebuild the delicate
gray substance in the minute nerve CEN
ters all over the human body, and a
bounding vigorous health is the result.

WORDEN is RESPITED.
California Train Wrecker Will Get
Another Chance.

San Francisco, Jan. 29.-Train wreck
er Worden will not be hanged on Feb
ruary II. Governor Budd announced
today that he would grant the con-
demned man another respite Certain

period necessary to permit these dOcu-

Wells & Richardson Co., Burlington,
VT
Gentlemen:-A previous experience
with Paine's celery compound, as a re-
storer of exhausted energy, induced me
recently to take it again, the many
duties of the mayors Office having tax
ed my slight physical resources greatly
l made no mistake. In one week. I
found my appetite improved, the feeling
of WEAKNESS disappearing, and my
nerves becoming steadier. Paines Gel
cry compound has thus been a friend in
time of need, and like to say a word
for a friend.
Truly yours,
WALTER L. RAMSDELL.
Nov. 5, 1897
In every city, in business houses
banks, newspaper ofices-wherever the
friction of worry is wearing out the
nerves and reducing the nutrition of
the body, Paine's celery compound is
proving its tnestimable value. It invar-
iably insures sound sleep, and thus gives
the overstrung nerves their natural
rest; 1t corrects a constipated habit that
so commonly goes with sedentary occu-
patiOns, and frees the blood of poison
Gus humOrs, that at some time or other
develop into grave disease.

lowing are the two poems:
OPPORTUNTT


Monarch of every human being,
Destiny shaped itself beneath my hand.
rule ambition lofty as the sky;
pave the way for crimes debasing
brands.
I'm king of battles, and I'm god of love,
govern all below and all above.
And once come to every one of ye-
made.
Act bravely, promptly. for the way is
free;
And woe to him who hesitates. afraid!
hold in one hand honor, love and place;
And in the other want, hate and dis
grace:
So. when come, then may your eyes see
plain:
For sighted once, I never come again.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The Burlington August statement furnished a lever to-day to carry prices upward, and this development was the only factor of consequence bearing upon the general situation. It Is true that the in- dustrtals, to a considerable extent, dominated the market. but speculation showed a ten dency to ignore fluctuations in this group. This circumstance caused some favorable comment, as did also the fact that the general list lapsed into dulness and showed comparative steadi- ness, when concerted attacks on the specialties were made. London quotations indicated a more favorable disposition toward Americans abroad, which was reflected in good buying here throughout the day. Operations by the bear faction renewed in various direc- tions, with Manhattan looming to the front. Tobacco, of course, was the most vulnerable point, and soon yielded to 125. Covering of shorts put the price back to 12sta. and inter mediate fluctuations between that and the close at 12Sh4 were accompanied by violent dips. This stock. generally speaking, showed bet ter tone and ended for the first time this week with net advantage. Call money rates sagsed to 2ts per cent late in the day. The action of the Government in anticipating the November interest, coupled with early receipt of large amount of gold in transit, responsible for Quotably easier for the shorter period. and some prime mercantile paper was discounted at 351 per cent.
