The Bank Statement.

New York. Sept 15.-The statement OF
the clearing house banks Tor the week
shows that the banks hold sS,SSs, 900 more
than the legal reserve requirements. rms
is an increase of $10,114,325 as compared
with last week. The statement follows:
Loans 81, O36, 400 400; decrease, $l5,3l3, 200.
Deposits, s1,OO5, 1870; decrease, sS,126,-

Surplus. S536. 400; increase, $40 .325.
FIX. United States deposits, $7952,JOo; in
crease, 81, 950.3JO.
The Financier says this week: Last
weeks official statement Of the New
York associated banks realized the eX-
pectations that were entertained OF res
tOratiOn in the surplus reserve, but IL
was disappointing in that IL did not fully
reflect the increase i'm cash which was
confidently looked for as the result of the
advances made by the treasury 10 gold
importing banks in order to facilitate i'm
portatiOns of the metal or the increase in
cash which was due to the arrivals of
gold from Europe during the week The
statement showed gain of 1882 200 cash.
whereas the cost conservative estimates
that were based upon the traceable move
ments of money indicated an Increase of
not less than $l0G00.000. The discrepancy
between the estimated and the O11claliy
reported gain cannot be satisfactorily ex-
planned. 1t is noteworthy. however, that
the increase in cash very closely corre-
spends with the augmentation in public
deposits which was 1914 100. probably
showing that the weeks advances by the
treasury 10 assist gold imports were
largely counted as public funds; this may
indicate one reason for the above noted
discrepancy. assuming that the balance
of the money advanced by the treasury
was treated otherwise than as a deposit.
General deposits last week were reduced
IS. 726.500. which amount is greater by one
and third millions than the sum of the
decrease in loans less the gain in cash;
therefore the statement did not prove
The required reserve against such de-
posits was s2,1S1. 625, adding which to the

CATARRH.

When a known contagious disease
makes its appearance in a community
the municipal authorities promptly en-
force the strictest sanitary regula-
tions, and by combining it to one place
the doctor is able to check il and
quickly stamp it out, but when Ca
tarrh makes it appearance in a family
the family physician. ignorantly or
maliciously. advises that il is not a
serious matter-"a slight cold" and
the like, and that there is no danger
of complications of infection, and con-
sequently the people are misled into
allowing a little thing TO grow and
being off their guard, we soon have
thousands of infected people and the
disease runs on unchecked until the
whole system is a mass of corruption
and poison. Thus like a tiny hole in
a dam the germ starte little and in
significant at first. but gradually
growing and gaining in volume until it
bursts upon the startled vision like a
torrent and the mischief is done. Be
ware of little things and the big
things will take care of themselves.
If you have catarrh-no matter how
slightly-GET CURED NOW-DON'T
ALLOW IT TO RUN ON AND RUIN
YOUR HEALTH-IT DON'T TAKE
LONG FOR COMPLICATIONS TO
ARISE.

changed to a shade lower. Provisions
were unchanged to &c lower.

expected to interfere with the movement
OK the crop and additional reports of dis
appointing results from threshing opera
tions. During the day prices declined
sligl--y because of realizing sales but la
ter became firm on the statement of an
English statistician that the worlds ship
ments will amount to about 1O,OO0OOO BUSH
els with this country supplying about one
half of the total exports. The clearances
of wheat and flour were large and this
held the market steady TO some extent.
The fluctuations of the day were within
a narrow range and the close was firm.
December wheat opened unchanged to a
shade higher at 7314c TO 1874 q732sc, sold be-
tween 73lsQ73Ac and 1850 and closed 1s6J

tween 423sc and 42S4o and closed 1s@4C

HOME TREATM EMIT.

To properly administer this new ca
tarrh treatment at home, Drs. Shores
have secured two kinds of instru-
ments for use of their patients who
cannot call at the office. One for
cleansing and rendering the MEM
brane antiseptic, and one for admin
istering the curative oils direct to the
diseased membranes. These two in
struments are given FREE with each
full course of treatment, and the en-
tire course, including instruments and
medicines to complete a cure. is SIS
only. Remember this does not mean
SIS month. but SIS for a cure. There
is no more treating by the month
for catarrh, since this new discovery
cures quickly and surely.

of the sufferer; eftentlmes the nasal
passages are entirely closed up.
If the patient lies on the side, the
nasal passage which is uppermost be-
comes open while the fluid collects in
the parts below: or IF the patient lies
on the back the flow passes to rear
portion, causing a complete stopDage
of the nasal passages. The fluids
which escape from the nose are often
irritating and very frequently give
rise to irritation around the opening
Of the nose and lip. and sometimes
even result in eczema. The eyes become
congested and the lips red and itch

What weakness" is and
How We Cure It.

So-called weakness in men is
merely a symptom of chronic
inflammation in the prostate
gland. brought on by early dis
sipation or by the improper
treatment Of some contracted
disease. A complete and radical
cure is therefore a question of
restoring the prostate gland to
the normal state, and this we
accomplish promptly and COM
pletely without the use of in
Aernal remedies. Our treatment
is a local one entirely. 1t is
original and scientific and has
been proven absolutely effec-
tive by thousands Of tests. We
are convinced that by no other
methods can fun and perma-
nent restoration of strength and
vigor be accomplished.

hung up in cupboard in the corner OF his
room, leaving the door open SO that everybody
could see it.
"What's that for?" asked Lieutenant Sedg-
wick, who was with him at the time.
"That's the bait of my trap" replied the
captain, mysteriously.
And he gave no further explanation.
AS soon as night had set in, Conway called
up his own servant-a sleek, prim, cat-like
fellow, who had much more the air of de-
tective than that of a soldier-and ordered
him to pick out two more men, and keep watch
with them, turn and turn about, in case other
thieves should be abroad.
The prim man answered only with silent
bow, and glded away as noiselessly as shad-
ow.
That night the captain went to bed at his
usual time but his candle was scarcely out
when he got up again and put on long black
wrapper, which covered him from head to
foot. Upon this he drew with piece Of
phosphorus the outline Of skeleton, and
then rubbed the phosphorus over his face so
as to give himself the appearance of fiery
skeleton, with head Of quivering flames,
hideous enough to frighten any man into fits.
