COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Re-
view of Trade" says: Business con-
tinues to move in most conservative
channels, purchases being restricted
to immediate requirements ana weath-
err conditions dominating the situa-
ton TO an unusual extent. At many
points there has been little Spring
trade, and the transition from Win
ter to Summer will be accomplished
with scarcely any intermediate season.
Considering this adverse factor. the
current volume of business is remark
ably satisfactory. Building operations
are also deferred to a late date. Much
structural work is projected, however
and at some favored points last years
record promises to be surpassed. AS
a rule manufacturing plants are not
working at full capacity. idle machin-
cry being most extensive in textile IN
dustries. Floods and storms have IN
terrupted traffic, yet railway earnings
thus far reported for April are only
SIS per cent smaller than last year
Iron and steel conditions are still de-
void of any definite change. In sever
dl uC pal tlDClllS tilC WIN nos
slightly increased activity, notably II,
merchant steel, pipe and structural
shapes, but in many branches there;
is hesitation Distribution at retail
is restricted by the weather, and there
are no compensating factors. In
mems wear, woolens and worsted
goods it is estimated by some that
about 20 Der cent. of the mills are
now idle. Carpets are also dull ano
some cancellations are reported.
Bradstreet's says:
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week ending April 28 are the
smallest in fourteen years, aggregat,
ing I,oTo,85o bushels, against I,645,42s
last week, 3,4IS,28o this week last year,
5,3o8,I55 in 1902 and s,Ioo,763 in 1901
Corn exports for the week aggregate
IooIo3 bushels, against 626.7o2 last
week and 2,2Io,I55 year ago, 1885,
670 in 1902 and 2,37I,So2 in 1901.

A Chicago man refuses to testify

count of 100000 or not, Oh the
grounds that he might incriminate
himself. Must not have had 1t. Any
man with that much money is in no

Beware OF Ointments For Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering 1t through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable phy,,
sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., contains
no mercury, and is taken internaily, acslnS
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
ofthe system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure

Swallowed Pulyerlzed Glass

Miss Hazel Gilbert met with
what might have been a very
serious accident last evening by
accidentally swallowing some
pulverived glass. 1t seems that
there was a bottle broken in the
window of the room where she
had been staying at the Miller
Hotel and that she went to the
window to take some medicine
for a cold which she had con-
tracted of late. The medicine
being a trife sour she was in
the habit of adding a little
sugar. The sugar that was
used this time was of the lump
style. AS she was mixing the
medicine she laid the sugar
among the glass, unnoticing the
small particles of glass that
chung to the sugar, which was
dissolved in the medicine.
After taking the medicine she
was taken violently sick and
was at once removed to the
hospital, where the best Of
medical aid was summoned.
This morning she is resting as
we'll as could be expected and
is out Of danger.

fresh mich COWS. Will pay good

Regardless of the rain, during
yesterday afternoon, twenty
five ladies responded to the in
Wit ltion sent out by Mrs. G. w.
Coit for a Kensington. The
guests were received by Mrs.
Cit in her genial, hospitable
manner, and ushered into the
reception hall, where.a brilliant
fire in the CRATE greeted the eye.
The south end of the hall was
banked with ported plants.
On entering the parlor, each
guest felt that they were in the
midst of spring, by the beauty
of the spring flowers, the tulips,
jonquil and hyacinth; the din
ing room was a token of Easter,
the room being fragrant with
the Easter lily.

there.
