Every year over 10000
persons die of consumption
in this country alone. Cherry
Pectoral would not have cured
all these. Taken in time, it
would have cured many.
A MIR. ID. p. Jolly, of
Avoca, N. Y, wrote us, a few
weeks ago, that his mother
had regular old-fashioned con-
sumption for years, and was
given up to die. She tried
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t
helped her at once, and she
is now completely restored to
health.

story, because it's only one
of thousands.

Corn ruled easy for October but firm
for deferred features. Trade was fair
ly active early, with some excitement
among the October deal, but later trade
was very dull The market derived it's
strength from the renewal of the heavy
cash trade begun yesterday. Export
sales here were put at 500 coo bushels.
That these sales, yesterday and to-day
were made is said to be due TO easier
ocean freights and a reduction in price
by lead bull said to be liquidating.
Country offerings were small and local
receipts 5S1 cars. October touched SOC
early, but rallied and closed re lower
at 39Ac. December sold between 25c
and 351ac, closing NC higher at $3.50
Hardly anything was done in oats.

ness entirely preferential. The cash
trade was also slow. Receipts were
PA cars. December sold between 21B
and PC, closing &c up at %.
Provisions were fairly active and
showed a firm undertone. Hogs, re-
ceipts were light and the trade looked

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19-R. G. Dun &
Company's Weekly Review OF Trade
tomorrow will say:
Few important fluctuations occurred
in iron and steel, but there were small
advances in Bessemer pig at Pittsburg
and billets at Philadelphia. Moderate
gains are reported in the volume o.
transactions, although the tendency is
to delay large contracts a few weeks.
Implement makers take bar iron freely
however, and orders for pipe are urgent
with severe weather coming on. Struc-
tural shapes are taken for foreign points
as far distant as Egypt and domestic
bridge builders buy freely. More mills
have gone into blast and tic general
tone is improving. Production of coke
had increased, but prices are easy, and
many ovens are stiM idle. Tin declined

there was a sharp reaction in tin in
London, showing rise of about G2
it failed to materially affect the local
