COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
With Warmer Weather DistributivO
Trade ana Crop Developments
Are Improving.

New York, June 17.-Bradstreet'a
weekly review says:
Distributive trade and crop develop
ments, while still on an Irregular
character, hold and have perhaps add
ed to the improvement manifested last
week, for which warmer weather is re-
sponsible. Sales of summer goods ara
more active and business for fall de-
livery appears well from all sections
save Texas, where impaired wheat crop
returns have a deterrent effect. Conf
dence in the future still continues. Ex-
port trade is good, railway earnings
are large, building is active and steel
mills engaged on the heavier forms OF
finished material will not close down
this summer. The labor situation,
though disturbed here and there, is ON
the whole a pleasant one. Crop pros
poets in general continue favorable, al
though corn conditions are spotted and
the plant is very much behind.
Prices Of all products still seem to
favor the agricultural interests.

SENATOR HICKS IS DEAD.
His Vote Put Racetrack Gambling
Out of Business In the state
Of Missouri.

Lamar, Mo-, June Estate Senator
l.. d. Hicks, OF Marshall, who has been
critically i'll at the home of his daugh.
ter, Mrs. e. Adams, in this city for
the last three weeks, died at the ad-
vanced age of n years. His wife and
daughters were at his bedside.
1t was his vote in the senate that
passed the new law that killed the old
breeders bill, at the last session OF the
legislature, and put racetrack gamb-
ling out of business in Missouri. He
had voted the other way end changed
his vote. Had he not the bill would
have been defeated.
I, 1t is a queer coincidence that his
death should on the same day
that the old racing law which permit
ted gambling expired.

Gov. Deneen.

Springfield. H., June Ex-senator
Cullom called on Gov. Deneen at the
executive Office, and had a talk with
him lasting from $3.50 TO 1880 O'Clock,
while a matt score of lesser politicians
cooled their heels in the reception
room. The political situation in Hi
nois regarding the United States SEN

and the senior senator probably tried
TO show the governor that it would be
to his best interests not to take up the
cause of former Gov. Yates for United
States senator. II Is believed Senator
Cullom made this trip from Chicago
expressly to see Gov. Deneen.

HOW TO FIND OUT

Fill ,a bottle or common glass with your water and let 1t stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys; If 1t stains the linen 1t is evidence of kidney trouble: too frequent desire to pass 1t, or pain in the back Is also con yincinR proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 What to Do.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. fulfills every wish in curing rheuma- tism, pain in The back, kidneys. liver. bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing 1t. or bad effects following use of liquor. wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day. and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best Sold by druggists in 50-cent and one dollar sizes. .+.- You may have a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, and a book that tells all about 1t. both sent absolutely free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton. N. Y. When writing be sure to mention that Montgomery Sunday Advertiser. Don't you read this generous offer fin The make any mistake. but remember the name, Swamp Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. and the address. Bing- hamton. N. Y.. on every bottle.

was persistent He pointed out that khedive's. were held in France while most of the shares. apart from the khedive's, were held in France while S6 per cent of the trafic through the canal was British. 80 British com. merce must pay tolls into French pock.
 cts The tolls were high and when England asked that they be reduced Franco answered that if England did not like the canal she might send her commerce by the old route around the cape. In the end MT. 0reenwoods pleas prevailed and the British gov-
 ernment paid $20.ooo,ooo for shares that are now worth $1Ao.ooo,o00.
 A curious error was made in . dis. patch the other day. which said this year dividend was only t4.1 per cent
 Not for long time has 1t been 70 low. The dispatch should have said it waa
 lA1 francs @ share, a far different thing, As the shaYes are of 500 francs eack the dividend is at the rate 28.2 pet
 cent. or just twice what was at first
 stated. Last years dividend was 1So
 francs e share. or 26 per cent Now
 the London agreement binds the com- pany not to appropriate profits of mora
 than 25 per cent. but to reduce tho tolls as much and as often as may be
 necessary to keep them down to thas
 figure. That is why the company pro- lposes another reduction.
 r It did reduce tolls two years ago from 9 to 8 -12 francs . ton. but still the profits kept on increasing and pushing the dividend above 25 per cent limit. There are those who reckon that Iif the tolls were now reduced to z francs the compnay would still be able
 to declare a yearly dividend of z6 per cent, and that a few years hence . still
 further reduction can be made wfth-
 out impairment of the legal dividend.
