WEATHER is FAVORABLE.
Improved Conditions Helpful TO
Trade, Says Hradstreets.

improved OOnuttlOnS helptuA ~
Trade, says Bradstreets.
New York. May 9.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Improved weather conditions furnish
the keynote for the more cheerful tone
in distributive trade. Copious rains,
while not repairing all the damage TO
winter wheat done by the recent
drought in Kansas, seem to have put
the rest of the crop out of anything
like immediate danger. 1t has also
placed the ground in excellent condi-
ton for the later crops, such as corn
and oats. The situation in manufac
turing generally may be summed up
in the one word, activity" the only
important exception to this being not
ed in the woollen industry, which is
interfered with by strikes. The unset
tied anthracite coal situation also
overhangs the Eastern trade; but the
bituminous industry reports wide open
activity. Iron and steel trades are
still pushed to the utmost tension to
keep up with current demand. Build
ing and all lines dependent thereon
are active despite the increased cost
of lumber and builders hardware and
the higher level of wages. Prices,
particularly of food products, show
practically undiminished strength,
four-fifths of all staples ranging as
high. if not higher, than a month ago,
while only one fifth are lower,
while as compared with a year
ago four-fifths of all prices
have advanced. Railway earnings are
really surprisingly good.
Heavy liquidation occurred in cot
ton, the technical position of the
market apparently favoring that, but
strong basic conditions reasserted
themselves later, with the result that
a large part of the decline was re-
gained. and the loss on the week is
not a serious one. The feature in the
dry goods trade this week is the inn
proved demand at retail and the large
recorder bushes. coupled with rather
better buying for the fall season. Prices
of the manufactured textiles remain
as strong as ever.
Business failures number 179 as
against 1913 last year.

Paine's Celery Compound
Was Her De1iverer from Nervous

Depression, and Weakness
of Her Digestive
Organism.
A Special Message of Comfort
for Sick and DespOndent
Women.

Mrs. F. L. Bernhard, 3S2 Newbury
street, Boston, Mass, found herself in
an extremely perilous condition of
health after a surgical operation. Her
| touching story. written for the benefit
of other sufferers, is as follows:
1T is with a feeling of extreme graf
itude and thankfulness and a humane
desire to benefit others, that l write
out my experience in the use of Prof.
Edward Z. Phelps wonderful prepara-
ton, called Paine's Celery Compound.
Owing to a fall from a horse several
years ago / became a nervous invalid,
and last year l entered a hospital
where / was operated upon by a ia
nous New York surgeon.
The surgical opera ton was success
full, but nervous prostration followed.
A summer in Newport with the best
medical attendance failed to restore
my nerves to their normal condition.
l was absolutely unable to digest any
solid food, and this weak condition Of
my digestive organs, combined with
insomnia, caused the deepest depres-
sion. A constant tenderness and sore
ness in the region of my stomach with
a dull headache and extreme weakness,
created a feeling of helplessness from
which l was unable to rise.
1t was in this melancholy state of
mind that l CHANGED to meet a Boston
lawyer who said to me, L was in all
most the condition that you are now
in, and after spending hundreds of dol
lars without receiving any benefit l
was induced by friend to give Paine's
Celery Compound a trial, which l did,
and it cured me completely when
everything else had failed
Il was rather skeptical about trying
a patent medicine, but l ordered a bot
tie from my druggist and began to
take ii according to directions. Much
to my surprise, / slept soundly at
night, and did not awake in the morn
ing with the usual dull headache. Then,
too, l developed an appetite for solid
food. and soon l was able to digest a
course dinner without any unpleasant
sensations. I am now completely re-
stored TO health after about two
months use of the Compound.
'Sympathizing with all who may be
suffering as l did, l take this method
of reaching strangers, after writing
personal letters to my particular
friends"
