COMMERCIAL

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says =
Trade reports are more irregular,
chiefly because OF the vagaries of the
weather At some points results arc all
that could be desired, the new year start
ing with much heavier transactions than
in 1905, but high temperature and ex-
cessive rains IN other localities retard re-
tail distribution of winter goods, and it
is becoming necessary to reduce stocks
by clearance sales. Nothing dissurbs the
vigorous preparations for spring BUSH
ness, which promises to make most
gratifying exhibit Open weather is fac
ilitating outdoor work, building oper-
ations progressing at an unprecedented
pace for the season, and the Construc-
ton News reports permits issued in 1905
TO value Of $528,I864I2, which is 40
per cent. in excess of the proceeding
year.
Closing of large contracts for pig
iron by the leading interest provided an
element of strength in the iron and steel
industry that improves the tone and
makes the outlook for the first quarter
most satisfactory Buyers are more
numerous in the primary markets for
textile fabrics, although the increased
interest thus far is confined almost en-
tirely to purchases at second hands.
Increased supplies have somewhat de-
pressed the tone of country hides, but
packer lines are fairly steady, and no
division of the market has shown nor
NAL decline in proportion to the season
able deterioration in quality Activity of
Eastern wholesalers in handling samples
indicates that original orders for fall
shoes will be placed much earlier than
in previous seasons.
Failures for the week numbered 286
in the United States, against 1886 last
year."

Remedies Best on Earth"

'1n the year 1895 the side of my right
foot was cut off from the little toe down
to the heel, and the physician who had
charge of me was trying to sew up the
side of my foot, but with no success. At
last my whole foot and way up above my
calf was nothing but proud flesh. l suf-
fered untold agonies for four years, and
tried different physicians and all kinds of
ointments. / could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards l saw
change in my limb. Then began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during
the day, and kept it up for seven months,
when my limb was healed up just the
same as if l never had trouble. 1t is
eight months now since / stopped using
Cuticura Remedies, the best on Gods
