Uncertainties Of War and
Crops Cause Caution.
IRON FURNACES CLOSE.

IRON FURNACES CLOSE.

New York, June 30.-"The country
begins to feel some of the effects of its
new place among the nations. Jnflu-
ences affecting it's business during the
week ranged all the way from a boy
colt at St. louis to war in South
Africa and from sun spots to the relief
at Picking. Droughts and sun spots
have played their part before, but
none can quite foresee all the results
of defending American rights in China.
Political influences also tend to color
current opinion about most things i'll
presidential years. All these and other
influences work together to create a
state of uncertainty until the contro-
versy is over"
After the foregoing general remarks
R. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade, issued today, says:
The long effort to hold nominal pric-
cs for iron at Pittsburg has ceased and
the associations now recognize an open
market, in which Bessemer is offered
at $40 and billets at SIG, with gray
forge at SIT. Scarcely single trans
action is reported, buyers abstaining
even more than when prices were pure
ly nominal, and, while there are many
considerable contracts waiting for a
safe basis in cost of material, the pro-
blem is a rather difficult one.
Over thirty furnaces are said to have
gone out of blast, and while some have
been stopped for repairs, many more
will be idle for time until wage scales
for the coming year have been settled
with labor organizations. With apro-
per adjustment of supplies and prices
to the actual demand a heavy business
is possible, but delay at this season
may affect prosperity for some time to
come. With steel plates quoted at
$1.3O at Pittsburg and No. ~ sheets at
80 cents, no general gain in business
results from the sudden decline in
structural shapes.
Doubt as to Wheat Crop.
Neither official nor unofficial ac-
counts have removed doubts about the
wheat crop. and if it proves as low as
one estimate, 46O,06O,0O0 bushels, the
extent to which it may now be dis
placed in European consumption by
corn will be seriously tested.
Weekly Bank Statement.

ment follows: Surplus reserve increas-
ed, $1,332,5s5; loans decreased, $1,557,-

The Best Prescription Is Groves

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula

Iron acts tonic while the Ouinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tOniCs are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior TO all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves@its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
