There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be Incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to bea constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Cat,rh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney * Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution 1
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

TRADE REVIEW.
While There = Little IesExcitementin IN
4 Commercial Lines a Confident
Unde rtOne Exists. ~

New York, Dec. 0.-R... G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review Of Trade says: s. Business
is progressing along conservative lines
1t is without excitement and without great
speculative activity, but with a aconfdent
-undertone which is to be explained largely
by the fact that leading concerns in most
of the great industries have orders booked
to employ their machinery at nearly full
capacity during months when curtailment
is usual, Monet reductionin working force
has appeared in the last fortnight, and a
readjustment of wages schedules in some
branches of the steel trade is effected with
out trouble. Prices of commodities are gen
orally steady, and holiday trade is brisk It
all points. The south is particularlyfcheer-
full, with cotton firm and the rice crop COM
ing in a very full prices
THERE'S no cause for alarm in the small
volume of new business at iron and steel
centers. With the first. sign of higher
prices there came forward such a flood OF
contracts that mills and furnaces booked
orders sufficient to keep their full force
employed for months. Hence there has
come more quiet condition, with less bid
ding for products Fortunate ely quota tions
were not forced up unreasonably during
the weeks of greatest activity, and now
there is no sign of depression.
Failures for the week were 2S7 in the
United States, against 22l last year, and 25
in Canada, against 33 last year. = :aa' g :, +
Bradstreet's says: 'There is quieter
tone and reduced volume of business doing
at wholesale in many lines, but this is not
:. unusual at this season, and is partly bal
anced by a larger interest in retail and
holiday distribution. w Gather conditions
are still a drawback to the trade in win
