There is but one remedy that has the
desired effect, and that remedy is Pc

the roots of catarrh by restoring to the
capillary vessels their healthy elias

liative, but radical cure. q

There has been apparent and general
indifference to what seemed an assur-

BRADSTREET'S.
Strong Tendency Shown
for Improvement.
Serious Shortage in Spring
Wheat Yield Admitted.
Jobbing Trade in Dry Goods Improves
at Boston.

New York. Sept. 6.-Bradstreet's, to-
morrow, will say.
While there are diverse movements in
the domestic and foreign trade the ten
dcncy as whole is for Improvement
along conservative lines. The feeling
in many lines is that as the season adj
NanceS and the corn crop situation
becomes clearer the need of additional
recorders will result i'll a fair volume of
trades. Railway earnings reflect a
heavy traffic, roads already reporting
in iicatinS IA gain Of 3.4 per cent. over
last August and the best ever recorded
for this month. The iron and steel
trade fails to display all of the expect
ed activity consequent upon the reduc-
tions in finished steel prices, but the
tone of the crude material market is
better.
The serious shortage in the spring
wheat yield is now an admitted fact
and estimates of total yield range from
800. .o00, 900 to $40 1000. 900 bushels, a de-
cline of over O0OO. 900 bushels from a
year ago Estimates of $500 OOO 900
bushels for corn appear exorbitant in
view Of the lateness of the season and
1850, 900 bushels, the second largest
increases in the oats, barley and pota-
to yields are definitely certain.
Jobbing trade in dry goods has i'm
proved TT Boston. Providence notes
rather more demand for wide print
cloths and inquiry for machinery and
/ tools improving. Demand for dry
goods at New York is hardly up to sea-
sonahle expectations as yet, though a
good business is doing. Higher prices
for spring weight woolens are an
nounced, based on the strength Of the
raw material, which is firmly held, with
an upward tendency.
The Industrial situation shows con-
siderable strain. There is talk of an
accommodation being reached in the
New York building industry. The
beef strike is settled and to this extent
the western labor situation is clearer.
| But the Fall River print cloth mill sus-
pension continues and the Southern
coal miners are still out. In addition
there is talk of a strike in the Fort
Wayne system and reports of a threat
ened strike OF steel works employees.
Business failures for the week, end

the like week in 1903.
Wheat. including flour, exports for
the week, ending Sept. Is, aggregate

Corn exports for the week aggregate

ago.
Canadian trade shows some expan-
sion, re- order business being Of fair vol
ume at leading centers. Most Of the
Canadian wheat crop is cut and thrash
ing is general. Montreal reports ship
ments OF goods being rushed to take
advantage of water freight rates and
heavy export business is looked for.
Toronto reports activity well main
tanned and that Canadian cotton goods
prices recently announced show a re-
Guction of about 10 per cent. Whole
sale trade at Wnnepeg is large and in
British Columbia business is up to ex-
pectations.

her finger on the trigger.
