WOOL.

BOSTON, August 10-The Boston
Commercial Bulletin will say to-mor-
row OF the wool market: The only
significant feature in the market is
leap up of markets OF domestic wool
by 5000 bales above those of last week.
The whole energy of the trade has
been centered in the west Buyers OF
mills and dealers are taking woods
there in big blocks; 10000 started
for Boston from Montana alone. Lo-
cally there has been little doing, but
prices are strong both here and abroad.
The sales for the week were 2,S17,-
Geo pounds domestic, and 100000
pounds foreign. 9 total OF 1917 900
pounds for this week, against a total
OF 3,S45,0G0 pounds last week, and a
total of 2o0,u00 pounds Tor the cor
responding week last year.
The receipts to date show a decrease
of 195,S94 bales domestic, an increase
Of 6,194 bales foreign against last year.
The sales to date show a decrease OF
CT ,S61, 700 pounds domestic, and 49,
300 pounds foreign.

in the bank Of England's price for
gold bars and American eagles, which
made shipments feasible In spite of a
fractional decline in sterling exchange.
Mono CT the engagements was due TO
syndicate operations for payment of
the British bond subscription. The
outward movement of gold for the
week is thus brought to over S., 00o,-
coo, only S5,309,0o0 of which viii fig
ure in the bank statement. Includ-
ing the payments by the banks for
this amount of the gold exported and
allowing for payments by the sub
treasury of drafts for gold deposited
at Pacific coast points, the banks have
lost to that institution $2,160o00. AL
though the shipments by express to
the interior are larger than last week.
the hanks have still gained largely on
that account, so that their net losses in
cash are estimated to be less than a
million. II the recent movement to-
wards loan expansion on sterling col
lateral has been proceeding this week
there will be an increase in reserve re-
quirements which may add to the en-
enactment on the surplus.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, August 10.-R. G. Dun
& Company's Weekly Review of Trade
tomorrow will say:
Progress has been made toward a
stable position of business with a few
more heavy contracts to hold the
ground already gained; but for a pro-
per Interpretation of the weeks re-
suits enc must look beyond Wall
street operations, where, more than in
any other quarter, the vacation season
is leaving its impress of inactivity.
Speculation is cautious but investment
holdings are being increased rather
than diminished and operators cannot
see that their hesitation on the ground
| OF politics is echoed any more in gen
eral business circles than two months
ago. Small change appears in railroad
stocks, ten industrials are 81 higher,
and traction issues q shade lower.
Working forces are smaller and will
soon be further reduced, probably for
three weeks by the closing down of
. cotton mills in New England, which
has been delayed longer than expect
ed; but your strength is evidenced to
the world by The over-subscription
here Of the new British loan of &c.,
100000 on about 81 per cent basis. OF
which over half is allotted to American
applicants.
London sales of 900 shares of
stocks and some bonds and American
purchases of the new foreign loan, ex-
plain why gold goes out in the face of
foreign commerce returns, which show
for New York alone, for the week, an
excess of exports over imports, of
more than $5,00O,000. Exports for the
week Of $12,763,719 were more than
double those for the same period OF
1899, and for the year the gain is over
$85 100000. While imports gain only
twenty millions. The money market
is untroubled by financing OF the for
eign loan, though the volume of new
commercial loans is we'll sustained.
Although the conference at Chicago
| recently failed to agree TO reduce the
output of pig iron, individuals have
acted independently, and on August
LIST only 240 furnaces were in blast,
with a weekly output Of 244,426 tons,
according to the Iron Age.
This compares with a production
OF 2S3,413 July 1st, by 2S4 furnaces,
and 267672 a year ago by 167 plants.
Present figures are the lowest since
March, 1899, when the capacity was
22S, 1876 tons. Furnace stocks are 504,
341 tons, against 421,03S July LIST. Re-
duction Of capacity is larger in pro-
portion than the recent accumulation
OF stocks. A smaller output OF pig,
with steadily increasing exports and
moderate activity in structural ana
finished material. promise to put this
industry on a more satisfactory bases.
Prices have steadied on the lower level
in most directions, but in some pro-
ducts the struggle is still on between
buyers and sellers. A serious feature
is the wage controversy which extends
over d wide territory. Production of
coke decreases in proportion to the
smaller output of iron.
Failures for the week were III in the
United States, against 1876 last year,
and % in Canada, against 20 last
year.

stoned by the action OF the Liverpool

there was a fair demand through COM

the crop damage news was the estimate
; of IS, 000. 900 bushels wheat as the crop
In Kansas. These tremendous figures
made good many traders hesitate
about getting on the long side OF the
market. After the first half hours
trading the market became very dull,
with the price fuctuating lazily be-
tween rs and 1914, it was too hot for
the average broker to take much IN
terest, and the market for the most
part was left to a small coterie or
scalpers. The tone kept fairly steady
to the close, which was at 76. North
west receipts were 235 cars against
2iI last week and 115 a year ago. Chi
cago receipts were 233 cars, 43 OF con-
tract grade. Aggregate primary re-
ceipts were 1,1f3.000 bushels COM
pared with 476 900 bushels year ago.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour amounted to $4,000 bushels.
New York reported export engage
ments OF loads. Corn, considering
the dizziness Of other markets, was
quite active and strong. Crop re-
ports were of much more gloomy
tenor than heretofore, private advices
from Kansas City even going so far as
to say that the crops in Kansas and
Nebraska would be the poorest ever
known. Drought and hot winds We're
still prevailing with little prospect OF
relief The demand from shorts was
at times quite sharp and offerings
were light all day, October and De-
cCmber were even stronger than the
more active option. Receipts were ~
cars; September ranged from 39c to
$3.50, and closed 7sc higher at S9a2c.
Oats were dull but steady. The mar
ket was rather easy at the opening on
the heavy receipts, but the strength OF
corn soon caused a rally and prices
were we'll maintained for the balance
OF the session. Trading was light
throughout. Receipts were sos cars.
September ranged from asia to 22ssc
and closed hQ3Ac higher at 22asc.

small opening decline and not enough
interest was tkaen in the market to

MODERN SLAVERY

Almost Universal.

You, reader, would not permit your
neighbor to call you out of bed at mid
night and oblige you to walk the pave

and continual suffering? Every dys-
PePtic, every sufferer from indigestion,
b1Ilousness, heartburn, waterbrash,

of breaking the chains of this slav-
cry: That is by using Dodd's Dyspep-
STA Tablets.
These digest the food you have eaten.
'Ihey don't need aid from the stomach,
which IS therefore given time to rest
and gain strength. They regulate the
bowels, which carry off the waste por-
ton of the food not used in making
blood. Thus the stomach is e1nptied
and prepared to receive the next meal.
