REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Conservative With Iron and
Shoe Market Quiet.

New York, Dec. s.-R- G. Dun s. Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Business is progressing along con-
servatfve lines II is without excite
ment and without great speculative ac-
tivfty but with a confident 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 curtail-
ment was usual No met reduction in
working force has appeared in the last
fortnight and a readjustmert Of wage
schedules in some branches Of the steel
trade is erected without trouble Prices
Of commodities are generally steady and
holiday trade is brisk at all points The
south is particularly cheerful with cot
ton firm and the rice crop coming in at
very full prices
There is no cause for alarm in the
small volume Of new business at iron
and steel centeTs- With the first sign
Of higher prices there came forward
such a flood Of contracts that mills and
furnaces booked orders sufficient to
keep the full force employed for months.
Hence there has come a more quiet con-
dition. with less bidding for products

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is cur
changeable climate. To protect the fam
iIy from colds and coughs is always
serious problem, and often impossible
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequen-
cy and perhaps the severity Of colds. but
with the greatest Of precautions they
will come This is a settled fact of hu
man experience.
Especially is this true during the
stormy and unsettled weather of early
winter Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps it viii be wet feet, or cold
draught, or damp clothes, or may be too
close confinement in hot rooms and then
going out into the cold carelessly. or it
may be one of a thousand other little
mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to
always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an cpl
dernic; everybody seems to have one at
once The very air about US is poison to
the head, throat and lungs.
There is no fact or medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands OF
families in all parts Of the United States
are protected each winter by Peruna
