Eye Strain 10 Responsible For q Num-
Der Of Ailments.
When the specialist to whom they
had taken their sixteen-year-old daugh-
ter ON account of what seemed to be
ease of inciplent melancholla diagnosed
the case as one of eye strain and or
.dered prompt treatment from an ocu-
list, the parents of a young New York
girl were astonished. Eye strain seem
ed as remote from melancholla as
would corns on the feet. Their aston
Ishment was propoTtionately increased
when after a few treatments and ac-
quirlng glasses the child showed mo-
ticeable improvement
Latter day medical science traces to
eye strain many Ills which seem SO re-
mote from the eyes, that formerly ply
sicians never thought of establishing a
connection between them. Sick head
ache, nervousness, melancholia, insom.
mia, are but a few which have of late
been laid to the door Of weak eyes, the
proper treatment having been neg
lected.
Nervous diseases of, the nature of St
Vitus' dance are now thought to origi-
nate frequently In eye trouble. The
weak eyes blink necessarily, and this
leads to a general contortion Of the
facial muscles, which grows on the
subject through constant repetition

PRICES
WILL LURE GOLD FROM
FOREIGN INVESTORS.
ARE EXPECTED TO COME TO
NEW YORK IN NEAR
FUTURE.

A financial force that will furnish
a mighty uplift of no meaK measure
to the monetary situation throughout
the United States may be reckoned
upon to make itself felt within the
near future, when European investors,
according to views expressed In New
York city by international banking
houses, are expected to come to the
New York market and purchase stand
ard securities whose prices have been
forced to low levels by urgent liquida-
ton.
Purchases of American securities on
large scale by foreign investors
spell gold imports of large proper
lions, and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that millions would soon be
poured into New York in payment for
securities purchased at the present
level Arbitrage houses already re-
port purchases of an investment
character by foreigners and as the sit
uation clears the purchases will in
crease.
England and the continent bought
largely of American securities last
March, when the local market was suf-
fering from a severe decline, and arbi-
TRACE brokers now say that bargain
hunters abroad are again nibbling at
good American securities.
1--WE are going to have some feat
nf IN,
Der of an international banking house.
After the storm came the calm in
that year,and while we were adjusting
ourselves to a new order of affairs the
European investor came into our mar
ket and bought heavily of our stocks,
which did more than anything else to
bring needed gold to our shores. The
storm center is now behind us and pur-
chases for foreign account will soon
help swell our credit abroad and pre-
vent cessation of gold importation. |
have London advices that many Eng
lish institutions are dispOsing of Eng
fish and Argentine railroads in prepar-
alton for investment in this market. A
momentary stringency brought about
by an excess of prosperity can never
be provocative of continued distrust
of our institutions, and with a clearing
situation the capital of Europe will
find its way here for investment when
the yield on the investment is greater
than in any financial market in the
world"
European houses are said to be bare
of American securities which were
sold here last summer according TO
reports made by arbitrage houses here,
and these houses may now be consid-
cred as probable purchasers of the
very securities which they sold many
points higher than present prices.

Grain Supply ENCOURAGING.

The Wall Street Journal says: The
American markets are much bette
supplied with visible grain than at
any time in the last four years, for
this season of the year The visible
supply is higher by 100000 bushels
than in 1906, 100000 bushels higher
than in 1905 and 100000 bushels
above the visible supply of 1904,
Judging from this supply, the country
could readily increase its exports Of
wheat, corn and oats to the point Of
$5.O00,0 900 week, provided traffic ia
ciities were such as to bring the
product TO the seabOard.

THE NORTHWEST is ALL RIGHT.
Crops Are Bound to Bring Money to
the Country

The financial situation of Chicago
and the northwest is mainly a matter
of unlocking. That is to say, the or.
binary facilities for commerce and the
transactions of banking business have
been curtailed by the shortage of cur.
rency. The bankers are taking stems
to return to the normal conditions
They did not consider 1t safe yet, how
ever. to begin the payment of cur.
rency money whenever demanded. ana
checks on the clearing house for small
amounts are now in preparation, to
he used as currency money.
1t is almost certain that these checks
will be issued this week and several
million dollars of them will then be
available. But meanwhile the Golfers
of the banks and the pockets of indiv.
iduals have been somewhat replenish.
ed by the importation of over $4,000 .
600 of gold, and the deposits of the
United States government in national
banks have been increased several
millions. Seemingly, it is a question
OF few weeks at the longest when
money will be freely in circulation.
There is no manner of doubt that
the northwest is richer now than ever
before, not merely in fixed assets. but
in Immediately available capital. AS n
small illustration it may be mentioned
that the shipments of wheat and -four
for 19 weeks of the crop year amount.
ed to S2,S53,000 bushels, against 6S.-
$4,000 bushels for the corresponding
period last year, and the amount Of
money received for this product +
much greater per unit than last year
1t is to be assumed that shipments
from this time on will be less active
than heretofore, because the supply OF
currency is small and many of the
farmers refuse to accept checks. Thi,
very fact, however, shows that the
producing class is financially strong
enough to sell when they get ready.
The country banks have more cur
rency than ordinarily at this time OF
the year, but are holding it for fear
it will be boarded by individuals if
paid out. The excess of shipments of
currency over receipts in Chicago dur
ing October was $24,711,51O, against
$16,765.000 the corresponding month
last year.
