however, there is little chance of any
general pronounced recovery in Wall
Street; and, as suggested above, a
sharp watch will have to be kept upon
the effects Of the gold movement and
treasury operations upon the money
market.
The war continues to exert an i'm
portant indirect effect upon this mark
ct. Aside from the Panama Canal
payment, we should probably export
little gold were it not for the war.
Paris feels the strain most, because
of the large Russian investments held
there, and thither has naturally gone
the bulk of the gold, assisted materi-
ally by stagnant money here. More is
likely to follow, but how much no
one can tell. One reason why Russian
bonds do not decline more seriously as
a result of Japanese successes Is that
in event of defeat the Russian govern
ment would be relieved Of a lot Of cost
~ business enterprises which hitherto
have been a heavy drain upon her
treasury. Russian defeat also means
the opening of a very large territory
and population to modern trade and
development, and in all probability to
a series of internal changes that will
ultimately benefit Russia herself. The
destruction of life and property on
both sides is deplorable; but in this
case it will benefit the world, because
it will remove obstacles to the larger
and sounder development that civiliza-
ton demands.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE
Henry Clews Weekly Financial Review Dis
cusses the State of Trade In the United
States.

New York, May 23.-Henry Clews'
trade review says: The April state
ment of foreign trade was better than
expected. Our exports were $109,995,-
900, slight increase over last year,
while our imports declined over 4
millions to So, 100000, leaving an ex-
cess of 26H millions in exports, COM
pared with 20 millions last year. Had
1t not been for the high price obtained
for our cotton, however, there would
have been a material decrease in ex-
ports, the general tendency Of which
has been to diminish. The declune in
imports is, Of course, attributable to
lessened trade activity at home. Evi-
dences which confirm the latter are
decreasing railroad earnings, the
shrinkage in bank clearings, depres-
sion in the iron trade and increased
curtailment in the cotton industry.
These factors, however, are exerting
little effect upon the stock market, be-
cause they have already been well
discounted by the previous decline.
First-class securities are well held in
spite of such developments, and one OF
the most satisfactory features Of the
situation is the good demand for prime
investments. This is usually one OF
the first signs of approaching recovery,
and It must not be forgotten that Wall
Street has an old fashion Of apparently
running counter to prevailing conda'
lions, because it discounts them ahead.
Until the crops, the election and some
other minor doubts are cleared away,

GREAT WORK
OF MUCU-T0NE
How Recall Catarrh Cure Won Our
Endorsement Strictly On Ii Merits

When we first heard Of Rezall Mucu.
Tone we were not particularly interested
IN it. We knew every Rexan remedy
was made of the best materials and by
experienced chemists and pharmacists,
and we were satisfied that when the
Rexall Company produced . catarrh
cure it would be thoroughly meritorious.
But we were not at all excited" about It.
When we saw the formula it struck US
as something new and very good, SO that
when some of the first bottles Of
Mucu-Tone arrived we unhesitatingly
recommended it to several chronic suffer-
ers from catarrh-customers of ours.
Within few weeks the reports began
90 come in and as we heard of the prompt
cure of case after case that had stubborn
~ resisted every other medicine and
treatment, our interest grew until now
we are honestly and earnestly enthusiast
tic about this splendid remedy.
Mucu-Tone is the cure for catarrh and
II you could stand in our store day after
day and hear the grateful words of suffer-
ers who have been restored to health by
It, you would grow just as confident as
We are.

all that grows in Tyler county.
Tyler county does grow some
browse, but it also grows several

It's one of the richest counties in
the State. 1t does not owe dol

OUTLOOK FOR 1904.
Bradstreets' Review Of Trade Condi.
tiOns-COuntry stronger Financially
Than Five Years AgO-Satisfactory
Business may be Looked FOr.

New York, Dec. 31.--In its annual
review of the business year of 1903,
Bradstreets says:
Nineteen hundred and three was q
year of irregularity in speculation,
distributive trade and industry-in
some cases of severe strains vari-
ously applied and as differently with
stood. AS the residuary legatee of at
least five years of great prosperity,
it had to bear cumulative effects of
previous years mistakes, and at the
same time to carry burdens having
their inception in the year itself.
Yet the tests were well withstood
and, while excess occurred, tho
course of events so far has proved
that the general trade founda ton
was essentially sound, and that the
structure reared upon it was in the
main well built.
Summarizing the years develop
ments, the review calls attention to
the excellent condition of trade and
industry during the first quarter and
the multiplication of labor troubles
during the second quarter, June 1
seeing the largest number of men
out of employment in many years.
Building construction at many large
cities was checked, and it was prac-
tically at n standstill at New York
throughout the summer. The high
price of cotton caused the more or
less constant idleness of 1000, 900
spindles and 100000 operatives in the
middle of the year, while reductions
in wages Of many thousands of work
ers in the last months impaired the
purchasing ability of the industrial
element.
1t is with chastened spirit,
coupled with some doubt, the review
concludes, that the business commune
ity awaits the developments of 1904.
Unsatisfactory conditions are suffi-
ciently widespread to take away
some of the buoyant feeling with
which the advent of recently preced
ing years has been contemplated.
Efforts to revise costs of production
and readiustments to meet changed
demand and supply conditions have
made good progress.
The presidential campaign may be
unsettling, though not, as in pre-
vious years, a source of financial dis
quiet. The strength of the agricul-
tural interest makes for confidence
in good trade in the country's basic
industry. Building operations bear
a better appearance. Free exports of
excess manufactures and minerals
are to be expected, bur as yet no evil
dences exist of overproduction. Up
10 the middle of 1903 the country had
been travelling at a swift pace, but no
marked signs of over extension are
visible. Moreover, the United States
Of today is in far stronger position
than it was ten, or even five years
ago, and we owe less abroad than
ever before. There are still some
cloud shadows, but the barometer
has begun to rise, and the CONNER
cia world may expect a fairly salts
factory business.

like the other two, is in e high key, says
the Washington Star, ans very strongly
suggests the siren of a railroad locomo-
tive speeding along with its wheels well
creased with Standard oil. IL the Pier
pont Morgan trust and mine
owners combination, whose anti-Roose-
welt maneuvers have been so thoroughly
exposed within the past few days, had
prepared these deliverances they would
not have differed in any degree from
their present nature. They contribute
to the purpose of that combination. and
meet it's wishes. But these lively blasts
awaken no echo, and leave their author
or authors exposed and ridiculous. II
they have served any other than the

that the president is easily the one man
his party has in view for next years
nomination. Outside OF trust and dis

The enormous amount of money rep
resented in this anti-Roosevelt crusade
is something for the people to consider.
Mr. Rockefeller is the richest man in
the world; Pierpont Morgan is very
rich; the disgruntled railroad interests
command hundreds of millions of dol
lars; the big trusts are numerous; the
coal mine owners control millions of cap

ests arc widely extended and they en-

as active as this in the green tree, what
may be expected of them in the dry?

tion, what turn will they take to try to
defeat him at the polls? How many
Enquiries" will they make then about
local sentiment here and there, and how
many favorable responses will they re-
ceive?
And the people, we may be sure, will
consider these things. The peoples best
interests are menaced by them. Here Is
an effort to control both parties. The
first play is for control Of the republi-
can party. That will fail. Then atten-
tion will be centered on the democratic
party. Who is the man that this great
plutocratic crowd want for the demo-
cratic nomination? And how will they
make play for him?
These buccaneers should be, and will
be, defeated. They are without politics
or scruple turning from one party to
the other as time runs, and endeavoring
to use both for individual as against the
public interests. Being in close cor
ner now, they are little more open than
ordinary. Their tactics are a little closer
to the naked eye.

OUN'S REVIEW.
Z Summary OF Trade Conditions Dur
ing HOLIDAY Woek.

New York, Jan. 2.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Violent fluctuations in cotton and
uncertainty regarding the situation
in the far east were the only signifi-
cant factors in the business situation
during the holiday week. Numerous
expressions of confidence are heard
regarding the future, especially at
the west and south. Manufacturing
plants have taken a longer vacation
than last year, but many announce
resumption of work on Monday.
Textile mills are confronted with a
lack of proper proportion between
prices of raw material and finished
of production must be held down in
some way or much machinery will be-
come idle. Transportation lines are
well engaged in handling grain, live
stock, fuel and lumber while earn
ings thus far reported for December
exceed the previous year an average
of Sc per cent.
Few new contracts for iron and
steel are reported, yet the general
level of quotations is fairly main
tained, and better conditions are ex-
pected early in 1904. Several special
transactions are reported in billets
and wire rods at concessions, but
these do not affect list figures.
Failures this week numbered 232 in
the United States, against 29s last
year, and in Canada II, con- pared
with S year ago.

were killed and four others injured
in a fire last night that destroyed

nue.. Nearly 100 Guests were in the
hotel at the time the fire broke out,
several of whom had retired for the
night. With the remembrance of the

minds, every one in the place became
panic-stricken and rushed madly for
the streets as soon as it became
known that the hotel was on fire.
At a late hour the dead had not been
identified. The building was prac-
tically destroyed.
