New York, April 2-(Special. )-Finan- cial circles are worried over the fact that for the first time in more than decade the balance of trade at this time of the year is against the United States They can see no way to meet this adverse trade balance except by the exportation of gold in unusually large quantities and a consequent. dislocation of finances here | Another matter which is liable to affect the movement of gold is the wild specu- iation In rubber shares in England This will probably lead to the selling of Amer ican securities and will certainly curtaIl the demand for them, which has been responsible for the fact that gold ship ments have not already begun

| We are now to have candy trust. | According to statements nude the capitalization may be as high as $25,- lC00,000. Conferences have been held in this city within the past week or two regard- | ing the deal, although up to the present time nothing conclusive has been arrived
 Ut concerning the project.
 The head of a leading candy manufac-
 turing concern who was approached in regard to the deal made the following statement; Various manufacturers of confectioneries have been comforting re- gently for the purpose of bringing about consolidation. Interests here and at Bos- ton, as well as in the west have been
 sounded on the subject, the idea being to get up a large corporation. The Corn
 Products Refining company has been ap preached by various manufacturers of confectioneries to act as manufacturers for them of certain grades of the cheaper priced candies for western delivery. 1t was suggested that these candies could
 be put up in packages with the labels of the various concerns in the combine on them and distributed throughout the western territory in Competition with the National Candy company.
 As the case stand the proposed com bination would be in opposition to the National Candy company but there are some who are in favor of taking this concern in, and 1t was said that the mat ter was talked over with O. H. Peckham, president of the National Candy company recently when he was in town. Just how he viewed the proposition, however, cannot be ascertained. His company owns in all about 20 plants and controls d majority of the stock of the Clinton Sugar Refining company. It was organ ized in 1902 to consolidate the following named manufacturers of candy: o. H. Peckham Candy Manufacturing company, A. H.. Walter Confectionery company, F. D. Seward Confectionery company, St. Louis Pan Confection company. J. K. Farley Manufacturing company, Chicago; P. Eckert company Cincinnati; Burt & Sindele, Sibley & Holmwood Buffalo; Gray, Toynton Fox, Detroit; Paris Murton company, Minneapolis; Nickols- Krull company, Daggett & Co.,, Indi- annapolis; Putnam Candy company, Grand Rapids, Frank A. Meme Candy company, Louisville; J. H. Roach & Co., St Paul; I. S. Moore & Co, Nashville; G. Tormoeh- len & Bros, Chicago; J. J. Dougherty, Memphis; Eagle Manufacturing company, Atlanta; John Wahl, Duluth. It has an annual output of 7O.00O,00O pounds.
 It was said that Charles R. Flint had been approached by the promoters of the new scheme with view to his taking an active part in the matter.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur- races

 Wants Income Tax.

At a Democratic dinner given in St. Louis this week, former Cover nor Joseph w. Folk announced the principles on which, it is said, he will seek the presidential nomination in 1912. The dinner was in charge of men who have been promoting the boom of the former governor.
 The doctrine of equal rights should be made living, vital and controlling force in the government" said Mir. Folk, after he had listened to Democrats from all parts of the state tell the guests that the former governor is the man they should in- dorse for the presidency
 "The Democratic party" continu- ed MT. Folk, should insist upon the stamping out of graft and corruption from every department of govern ment; the eradication of all special favors, including bounties, subsidies and tariff for any purpose other than revenue.
 we need, the honest, sincere en- forecement of the laws we already have and the regulation of the rates of public utility corporations upon a reasonable basis that justice may be done the people and fair return for the amount actually invested be af- forded."
 Other principles named by the speaker were the preservation of the rights of the states to self govern ment, the restriction Of American territory to the western hemisphere IS necessary corollary of the Mon roc doctrine, the extension of Amer ican trade by revising the restriction upon commerce, a just income tax, the election of unrelenting opposition to the domination in public affairs of special interests and tn, elimination Of such influences from politics.

TWO DOCTORS
DISCHARGED
Federal Quarantine Officers Dis
satisfied With Steamer
Men.

There is trouble between the quar-
antine officials and doctors who have
been supplied aboard the Matson steam
ship Wilhelnina Both doctors who
have made trips on the only two voy-
ages made by the vessel have been
Fcanned,' and there is some guess
work as to why 6ecapitations should
follow in such close succession.
The first doctor to be assigned to the
Wilhemina made a round trp, and on
reaching San Francisco was summarj1y
relieved of his position.
DIR. Severson was appointed, and he
arrived here last week. Yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock he was suddenly
canned. - The ships doctor won
dered and cast about for the cause.
and is said 10 have located the cause
in the person of DR.. Ramus, chief quar-
antine officer. According to the deposei
ship surgeon, the decapitation followed
a difference of opinion as 70 the manner
of mastering the passengers and crew
on arrival here from the Coast. The
surgeon says that he mustered the pas
sengers on the deck, in the sunlight, be
Iieving that they could be examined bet
ter in the broad light of day than III
the dim light of the saloon. It is said
that Dr. Ramus disagreed with this
method and it was criticized by the
quarantine officer. The official dis
agreement must have been the basis OF
4 complaint on the part of DIR. Ramus,
for the ships surgeon was relieved OF
mis- position by the company.
