to studying, are all most certain to

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstrcet says:
Wholesale trade is qtietiug down as
the stock-taking period approaches, ant
what activity is noted by jobbers is in
forwarding supplies oi goods needed to
rc-eniorce stocks OF retailers, depleted
by what is conceded to be the most ac-
tive holiday trade on record Cold
weather North and West has helped
sales oi furs, heavy clothing and
sleighs and further stimulated general
retail buying. There are. OF course.
some drawbacks, such as unsettled
weather or bad roads at the South, the
coal shortage at the East and the con.
tinuancc oi the railway congestion at
the West, affecting the movement OF
coke, bitumnous coal and general
freight but, taken as a whole. the mer-
camille community contempatcs the ap-
proach OF the end OF the year with com.
placency and satisfaction.
Knowing as it does that most lines
OF trade will show gains over 1901 and.
therefore, over any preceding year, the
feeling is that the year has been a good
one, while the fine wheat crop outlook
and the volume OF orders already book
cd for next year give promise oi flu
ture good conditions. Even the knowl-
edge that some manufacturing plants
are, like many domestic consumers,

rather earlier than usual holiday shit
down fails to arouse the pessimistic
feeling noted earlier in the year, when
the fuel shortage was more talked
about.
Seasonable influences affect the great
industries. Building is less active but
the tone OF the lumber market is one
OF undminished strength The iron
trade presents surface quietness but
some important matters are taking
place. The passing OF control OF large
independent mills into the hands OF the
leading interest unquestionably makes
for stability in the department OF wire,
tinplate and sheets. Southern iron
men are reported more inclined to do
business for 1908 at reduction from
fancy quotations. Very heavy buying
OF cars and other rolling stock is indi-
Gated for the new year. and liberal
orders for plates, wire and structural
materials for 1908 delivery are also
noted. Pig iron and steel billets are
quiet Irregular coke supplies harass
furnaces and interfere with operators OF
the finishing mills. High prices OF coke
and raw materials and higher freight
rates form a combination fraught with
difficulty 10 independent mills. Practi-
cally the entire rail output OF the
country for next year is already sold.
Immense quantities OF steel will be
needed for new car building.

Anaesthesia Without Druas.

Chronicle. He chanced to stop one
day at Sourabaya. where the Javanese
maintain a large hospital for prison

fact that in the treatment of such
cases as necessitated an anaesthetic
the native physicians did not resort to
drug, but instead they were mani.
testify reducing their patients to a con.
dition of stupor by compressing the
carotid artery with their fingers. The
Dutch physician was so much i'm.
pressed with this primitive method of
rendering the patient at least partially
insensible to pain that he made a care
full study of it. He discovered that
this method OF anaesthesia. although
unknown to modern surgery, was in
all probability in vogue among the an
clients.
