|BU S|N { SIS GOOD
From All Leading Cities Come AdviCeS
Of Brisk Trade and Active Industry

Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF trade
said:-
"Advices from leading cities, both
east and west, with scarcely an ex-
ceptien, speak of a bigger volume of
trade, larger advance orders, better
employment of labor and a growing
confidence that the now practically
assured crops make the future secure.
In every part of the country business
optimism is the rule, and all other
considerations are practically ignored
in the light of the conviction that a
period of national prosperity has set
in, which only some great and inn
probable calamity could stop.
The industrial improvement is
shown by the fact that the large in
crease in September dividend and in
tcrest disbursements is chiefly due to
the bigger earnings of industrial cor
porations. Bituminous coal as usual
in period of industrial expansion,
is active and firm. Foreign COM
merce is large, but the feature now
is in the growth of imports.

Liver Ailments Cause Others.

The liver is a very sensitive organ
and is very easily affected Just the
il slant it becomes deranged trouble
results through its inability to pro-
perly assist in removing the poison
Gus waste matter from the body
Among the many manifestations OF
liver trouble are billiousness, jaund-
ice, sicl; headache, gall stones, nerv-
ous arrangement, sleepines5, irrat-
ability, Indigestion, constipation, kid
ney trouble. In such cases. where
the primary fault lies with the liver,
the proper thing to do, of course,
is TO restore that organ to its natur-
al healthy condition, when, unless it
has been neglected too long, the
trouble soon vanishes.
We know Of no better remedy for
liver complaint and the various all
ments arising from imperfect liver
action than Rexal Little Liver Pills.
They are carefully prepared from a
formula which has been found emf
nently satisfactory for the relief of
liver and attendant ailments. We
We earnestly recommend them to

do not give relief, we will refund
your money. Price, 25 cents Sold

Final Distribution at Retail QuIckened
by Warm Weather

NEW YORK, May 24,-Bradstreet's will
say tomorrow;
With the advent OF warm, dry and sun
shiny weather the agricultural situation
has improved and final distribution at re-
tail has been quickened, though field
work by farmers has prevented much ex-
psnslon in country trade. In wholesale
trade and in jobbing lines there are re-
ports OF a fair activity, and where early
crop prospects are promising there has
been some quickening of demand.
The cotton goods Industry is we'll en-
ployed and the slight easing of some
makes OF cotton does not impress the
trade much because OF the strength Of
goods generally. New business In cot
tons at large markets is moderate.

II the canning season is to break all

The big railroad deals referred to sew

sure OF tho political situation. They are
Satisfied OF these things now and the

day Thus far the only thing that has
been done has been the purchase by
Blair g. Co, OF 100000 shares OF the stock
from the Cumberland corporation. 1t Is
given out in Wall street that this Is
merely a change In the form of holding
the stock. That is true SO far as the
deal has progressed, but 1t Is said that
Frank Gould has an option on the stock
and that he Is backed by the same
strong interests whose entrance into the
Wabash recently advanced Wabash 80
much In public confidence. The Cumber-
land corporation has about S15,000.0 600 OF
notes falling duo next month 1t owns
