DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, August 24.-R. G. Dun
& Company's Weekly Review of Trade
will say:
The sky is not cloudless, but there
has been no backward movement of
business this week.
The chief drawback of the week has
been the intense heat in some sections
OF the west. which was more effective
in retarding business than the lower
temperature east was in stimulating
1t. Crop advices continue as cheer
full as at any time lately, and the la
Dor situation shows no important
changes in working forces. Prices are
steady. but there is talk of decline,
perhaps $40 per ton, in steel rails
shortly to a basis at which it is be-
lieved the railroads will be willing to
place orders for the ensuing years
supplies.
More good news comes from the great
iron centers, where bridges and boat
builders and makers OF agriculture i'm
PIGMENTS, stoves and cast iron pipe
are all eager to secure raw or par
TALLY finished material. Prices are sus-
tanned and in a few cases move up
wards. Iron generally is a more solid
and better balanced market than for
two months past. Reduction in output
of pig is having the desired effect at
most northern points, though at the
South stocks are still heavy, and COM
plant is heard OF prohibitive freight
rates to the seaboard. Large export
business is waiting and foreign buy
ing of finished material continues
large.
Production of coke has been reduced
to LAB, $50 tons weekly in the Con-
nellsville region. Another sharp de-
cline has taken the price Of tin TO
301sc but copper is firm.
Wheat declined still further on Sat-
| urday, touching the lowest price since
early in June and making the fall 1850
from the top point of the season about
two months ago.
Vigorous marketing by farmers
shows their Willingness to sell at cur
rent prices, receipts at primary mar
kets during three weeks amounting to
1899. $50 bushels against 1858, 051 last
year. Daily figures of exports continue
light although there is much talk OF
purchases for foreign account. Prices
recovered from the lowest point, trad
ers on short side taking profits freely.
Corn is steady but a drop last year
makes the present price only four
cents above that of 1892 Sales of wool
at the three chief markets have in
creased to 5,062,500 pounds against
4,231, 800 in the week previous. Texas
wool was active in Boston and terri
tory grades are all firmly held, though
prices are nominally unchanged. There
is no pressure to sell, some dealers
shipping east with definite instructions
to hold until after election.
Factories are still working only part
time in the eastern boot and shoe dis
tricts and it is evident that earlier es-
Inmates of accumulated stocks were
too small There is more activity IN
the hide market and prices are sus-
tanned by strong foreign quotations,
activity in Chicago by California tan
ners and government purchases for
harness.
Failures for the week were III In
the United States against 1913 last year
and 90 in Canada against 16 last year.

COMMERCIAL FREEDOM

Demanded by the United States.

In China, May Be One of the Things
Demanded by the United States.
WASHINGTON, August 24.-The
Chinese situation developed little of
Importance to-day. 1t is stated frank
~ by the officials in the State, War
and Navy Departments that no dis
patches have been received bearing on
the problem which has yet to be solv-
ed. namely, the disposition of Chinese
affairs at the hands of the powers In
the absence of other food for specula-
ton the receipt of two casualty lists
from Gen. Chaffee dated at Tien Tsin
were made the basis for report that
he and the American force had evacu-
ated Pekin 1t was stated at the War
Department, however, that no advices
have been received indicating that Gen.
Chaffee had left Pekin and it was said
that he would have advised the War
Department and given his reasons for
doing so. had he contemplated such an
important step.
Regarding the attitude Of this govern
ment I'm case serious differences among
the powers should arise as to their future
ity to-day that this government remained
opposed to any territorial division of
China as was plainly stated in Secretary
Hays note Of July 8. Every recourse Of
diplomacy will be exhausted to prevent
partition of the empire and it was said
that the diversion of American troops TO
Manila already announced by the War
Department, was practical evidence to
the other powers of the good faith Of the
United States in this matter. Our work in
China has been accomplished in large
part by the relief Of the legations and our
further obligation. that Of aiding to re-
store and maintain peace. can be accom-
plished through the troops already in
China
It is pointed our however. that in view
OF the attitude already assumed by tho
United States and the large part II has
had in opening the way TO Pe1in, this gov
eminent is in a position TO demand COM
merciai freedom in China

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER.
Gains IL lbs. on Change of Food.

UutnS IL IDS. on ChauGe OF Food.
When change in food can rebuild a
man II years of age, it is evidence that
there is some value in knowledge
that can discriminate in the selection
of proper food to rebuild the body. A
few months ago the physician attend
ing Warren S. Johnson, of Colfax, Cal,
n years old, told him that death from
old age would soon claim him. He suf-
fered from general weakness and debil-
ity.
An old lady advised him to quit cof-
fee and drink Postum Cereal Food Cot
fee and to eat Grape-Nuts breakfast
food every morning. He took the adj
vice, and has gained u pounds. Says
he is as well as he ever was, and can
take long trips in the mountains, which
he has been unable to do for a long
time.
There is reason for this; in the
first place, coffee acts as a direct nerve
destroyer on many highly organized
people, both young and old, and many
people haven't the knowledge to select
nourishing, healthful, rebuilding food.
Both Postum Food Coffee and Grape
Nuts breakfast food are made from Sc
lected parts of the field grains that
contain delicate particles of phosphate
OF potash and albumen. These two
elements combine in the human body
to quickly rebuild the gray matter in
the brain and in the nerve centres
throughout the body.
Direct, sure and certain results come
from their use and can be proven bv
any person that cares to make the
trial. Both the Postum Food Coffee
and Grape-Nuts are kept by all first
class grocers.

INCREASE OF FIVE POLICE



to Be Drafted by the City Solicit
tor-CounciI Committees.
The Council committee on ordinances
met last night and took UP for con-
sideration the resolution adopted by
Council providing fc/ an increase in
the police force of five men. 1t will
be recalled that Chief Clemans and
the fire committee have emphasized
the importance of that addition of non
uniformed men, and a number OF
banks and mercantile houses have pc
Gitioned for the increase.
The ordinance committee last night
instructed the City Solicitor to draft
an ordinance providing for the desired
increase, in accordance with the Coun-
ell resolution Whether or not the
extra men will be provided for is prob
lematical, inasmuch as the finance
committee will have to provide some
means of furnishing the necessary
revenue before Council will adopt the
ordnance
The committee on police held a
| meeting last night at which the ap-
pointments made 10y Chief Clemans
and published elsewhere, were confirm
ed. Attention was called to the con-
dition of the city ambulance, and the
committee decided to advertise for bids
for repainting it.
The Ordinance Commute also took
up several matters which have been
pending for some time. The petition
of haulers of night soil to change the
price from Is cents to one dollar pei
BARREL was rejected.
Mr. Marchner's resolution, provid-
! ing for regulating the speed OF auto
mobiles within the city limits was re-
ferred to the City Solicitor
Mr. Mauer's resolution, providing
for regulating the speed of electric
street cars within the city limits, was
also referred to the City Solicitor.

O'Reilly said The boy would be indicted
for murder in the first degree by next
Tuesday. by which time he said the

ton now going on. The case has at

the fact that the police in searching
for the girls murderer found that she
had been leading double life.

WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS
The Principal Cause is Durable But
 Generally Overlooked

Many things may cause deafness and very often 1t is difficult to trace a cause. Some people inherit deafness Acute dis eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause deafness But by far the most common cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the head and throat.
 A prominent specialist on ear troubles gives as his opinion that nine out of ten cases of deafness is traced to throat trouble; this is probably overstated, but 1t Is certainly true that more than half of all cases of poor hearing were caused by catarrh.
 The catarrh secretion in the nose and throat finds its way into the Eustachian tube and by clogging it up very soon af- fleets the hearing and the hardening of the secretion makes the loss of hearing per- manent, unless the catarrh which caused the trouble is cured.
 Those who are hard of hearing may think this little far-fetched, but any one at all observant must have noticed how a hard cold in the head will affect the hearing and that catarrh if long neglected will certainly impair the sense of hearing and ultimately cause deafness.
 If the nose and throat are kept clear and free from the unhealthy secretions of ca tarrh, and - hearing will at once greatly improve and anyone suffering from deaf ness and catarrh can satisfy themselves on this point by using fifty cent box of
 
 cure, which in the past year has won the approval of thousands of catarrh sufferers as well as physicians, because it is In con- venient form to use, contains no cocaine or opiate and is as safe and pleasant for children as for their elders.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets Is a wholesome combination of Blood Root, Guaiacol, En- caluptol and similar antiseptics, and they cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by ac- ton upon the blood and mucous membrane of the nose and throatH
 As one physician aptly expresses it: "You do not have to draw upon the ina gina ton to discover whether you are getting bene- fit from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; improve ment and relief are apparent from the first tablet taken.
 All druggists sell and recommend them. They cost but fifty cents for full sized package and any catarrh sufferer who has wasted time and money on sprays, salves and powders will appreciate to the full the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
