BRApsT7EET,s REVIEW.

New York. August s.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Midsummer quiet has gone from dis tributive trade and stimulated by really brilliant crop prospects and good prices for farm products, fall business has be- gun to expand. Buyers are arriving in large numbers at all markets and next week promises to see demand further increased. Manufacturing industry, which has been more than usually active this summer, continues well employed. Failures are few and liabilities small; prices are steady. July railway earn ings returns show per cent gain over last year. Bank clearings continue to show gains over last year.
 Advices from the boot and shoe trade are irregular Leather and hides are very active, however, and skins of all kinds are taken as fast as received. Tanners are reported moro active than for some time past and higher prices for leather products seem probable, the weight of imported iron Is pressing on domestic sentiment. no perceptible effect is seen on prices for pig iron which Is in still active request for next years de- livery. No. 1 northern foundry is $1 higher at Chicago for 1903 delivery.
 Coke is scarce Ca car famine Is feared at that point and the same complaint comes from Pittsburg. Steel rails, plates. bars and sheets are active at the west, but the edge of the demand for plates and sheets appears to have been taken off at Pittsburg. Western rail mills are all sold up for the first half of 1903. Struct- ural material Is active at Chicago and

CANUck WISDOM.
Knew How to Select Food.

A good healthy Canadian takes pleas ure in telling about food, and how he got well by using lthe right kind of food and drink.
 He says, 'In Nov. '99 I began to feel bad every day and gradually got worse, I did not lose my appetite. On the con- trary after having a good meal I felt better but after being at work perhaps an hour or so would have terrible pains all over my body. I lost considerable time from my work, sometimes a few hours and sometimes two or three days.
 Finally I went to the Winnipeg Hos- pital for thorough examination and was told 1t was simply Indigestion Certain ly it was simply indigestion but never had anything make me feel worse. I can sympathize with any one who has simply Indigestion.
 Well I dragged through the Winter in about the same condition and got a little better in the Summer. but in Oct, 1900 the same old pains came back and con- cluded I must change my diet If I ex- pected to get any comfort, so quit drinking tea and went on Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food
 I ordered these articles from the grocer and expected to have them for supper I had felt so bad that day. Of course the grocer was late in delivering them, so laid on the couch until they came and ate supper about seven P. M. After SUD- per did what had not done for weeks before, walked into the sitting room. lighted my pipe and read the evening paper and forgot I ever felt bad
 I wondered if the old pain would come back. but 1t never did and right from the first I improved. I have since worked constantly and hard and have not laid off once on account of i'll health. and have mt once suffered from indfgeatiop s,nco that first meal of Grape Nuts and Pos tum.
