RATHER piscouragi

1t appears to be the opinion of wheat
authorities that in general there is moi
so much to encourage holders from the
situation of growing crops as week
or two ago. Drouths have been
broker and seeding allowed to proceed
in good shape. The worlds crop has
been fixed variously from 2,607 900, 200
bushels by Broomhall, 2.620, ,OOO, 900 by
Be.rhbohm and 2,640. .000, 900 by Dorm
busch, while European importing
countries present a shortage $4,000
600 quarters to supply which the
United States and Canada will alone
afford 81 200, 900 quarters, with India,
Australia, Russia and Argentine sill
to be counted upon, though there is a
probability of this margin being some
what larger, in view of the usual an
nual increase of per cent in consump-
tion and expansion of Oriental de-
mands for American breadstuffs. No
activity is noticeable in the market
here. Wheat buyers are apparently at
sea regarding future prices and when
asked as to the market can only say
"its little off and nothing doing"
are not favorable for a
very great advance in prices.

crowd was present. At Corvallis there
was very large gathering, among the

raj precautions dictated by common sense
When mans stomach and liver get up
set and fail to do their regular work, he can
be certain that something worse is bound to
follow, if he doesn't look out for himself
Headaches, indigestion, biliousness and
constipation are simply Natures warnings
that the enemy of serious disease is coming
to attack him.
The sensible thing to do is to immedi-
ately fortify the system with DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t vitalizes aud

the liver to filter out all bilious impurities.

creates appetite, good digestion, and solid,
muscular strength.
1t is far superior to the mere temporary
stimulus of 1nalt-extracts. 1t is better than
cod liver oil emulsions because il is assimi-
lated by the weakest stomach.
