What is
Cream ofTartar?

When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments, the acid OF
the fruit is crystallized and preciPtated This
is collected, refined to absolute purity, and
ground to powder. This is cream OF tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents OF the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of leaven
ing agencies and most heathful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape, or
cream of tartar, is the material from which
Royal Baking Powder is made. 1t is many
times more expensive than ingredients used in
many baking powders, but being healthful in
itself. it adds healthfulnesS to the food instead
of degrading it.
In I'M baking powders poisonous alum
is usedn instead OF heathu tartar.

This aroused one OF the sleepers, who call

New York. July 14.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say: Because every pros
pect pleases, it is the right time to watch
most closely for signs of trouble. But it
is not easy to find them when the vol
ume of business is 63.7 per cent larger than
last year and 75.5 larger than in 1892, the
best OF all years except the last, or when
failures continue the smallest ever known,
sor when exports of staples begin to i'm
prove materially, or when railroad busi-
ness is by far the best ever known, or
when New York bankers appear in inter-
national operations listening to Russian
enquiry and undertaking a Mexican loan
Even the industrial disputes incident to the
season cause less trouble than usual, the
largest of them having been settled Thurs
day by the tin plate company. The Bank
of England finds it difficult to borrow more
from this side and frankly raises its rate,
while this country begins to ship fresh
crops for which Europe will run into debt
The increase of g. 901 tons weekly in June
for iron production, with a decrease of S0,-
400 tons in unsold stocks net of the great
steel companies implies production of
about LIPS $50 tons in June. Consumption
would. be. 100000 tons, and in the half
year 6,S44,2 ,2l5, but for the fact that steel
makers have stocked heavily against or
ders, so that consumption may prove only
1905 900 tons, or even less.
Though cotton is steady in spite of
Texas floods at 6.19 cents. and the gen.
eral demand for cotton goods is full and
sustains prices, reduction of half a cent
in some fancy prints is reported. In wool
great speculation is in progress, sales
in two weeks reaching 22261, 100 pounds,
against "a .572, 500 in 1897. when the buying
f~as to anticipate new duties, 1t is worth
noticing that no purchases by manufactur-
| ers are mentioned, save one for 100000
| pounds. In striking contrast with official
and other wheat reports are the recorded
receipts at Western ports, S,0SS. 146 bush
| els in two weeks against 1,4l.139 last
| year. 1t is not strange that prices have
! declined l 1-sc Corn exports are also
surprising, 5,S15,21i bushels in two weeks,
against, -l}7,09S. last year, but less
| surprising than Western receipts, 10.
512,3H bushels, against 1851, ,074 last year,
| Nevertheless tbs ,price,- advanced 5-Sc.
Stocks were thrown overheard by many
on Monday in fright about money, and OF
| the financing of the big corporations. The
week brought in 81, 900, 900 net from the
| country. The average of railroad and in
dustriaI stocks fell sharply on Monday
| but recovered most of the loss later IL

Foreign trade is more satisfactory, ex-
ports for the week being slightly larger
than last year Exports of staples in June
though much smaller in breadstuffs. owing
| TO low prices, were in all only 6,215,026 les;
| than lest year. Failures for the weel
