STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such 4
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work" This SUI
preme remedy for female diseases quick
ly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel
ancholy, headache, backache, fainting and
dizzy spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.

In Most of the Manufactured Products Changes

Anxious TO Secure Supplies

New York, Sept. 1i.-R. G. Dun and
Companys Weekly Review Of Trade to-
morrow will saw
1.-The tropical storm that devastated the
Gulf coast almost wipng out the city OF
Galveston and doing damage in other parts
of the country caused reduction in the
volume OF business at the South, and rail-
roads in the Gulf region have probably
not shown their maximum losses of earn
ings as yet; but even after such a catas-
trophe recuperative power is shown. An
added cause of hesitation in business is
the order for strike of anthracite coal
miners.
From many quarters of the West and
Southeast better distribution of mer-
chandise is reported in jobbing and retail
circles. Prices of staple commodities are
higher for the week, hoisted by the sharp
rise in cotton. but in manufactured pro-
ducts there is little change, though steady
increases of business at the current level
is satisfactory.
Cotton closed last week at the highest
price in ten years and large short inter
est was awaiting reaction. Instead there
came news Of the disaster in Texas and
sensational reports that a million bales
had been DESTROYED. At the New York
Exchange trading was far in excess of all
previous records and prices rose by
bounds. Subsequently there were less ex-
aggerated reports from the South. bat
the market failed to respond and middling
uplands advanced to lie. The rise in the
raw material caused sharp advances in
cotton goods. Buyers who have been de-
laying for weeks are anxious to secure
liberal supplies both instant and distant.
Failures for the week were 1875 in the
United States, against 149 last year and
40 in Canada, against 80 last year.

that one of the causes of the strin-
gency and shrinkage of values in this
country is because we have not gone
out over the seas with our products as
we should have done. While there is
demand for our products of the farm
and mandatory of this country there
will always be plenty of money; but
when wheat and corn and cotton and
all kinds of manufactures are drug
on the market and no demand for
them, then we have stringency and
hard times. But when the highways
over the seas shall be laden with our
products into foreign countries, and
the gold is brought back in the ships,
then we shall flourish perenially.
These great combinations are the only
powers in this country that can do
this thing for us. A negro and an old
mule can make corn and cotton; fell
low with two hundred dollar saw
mill can make lumber; but only aggre
cations of wealth can build ships and
open markets in foreign lends.
