morrow will say:
Better weather and improved retail
demand are the two fundamentally ia
vorable features of this weeks trade
report. These, first noticed at the
West last week, have advanced east
ward and the result is probably the
best trade in months at retail. The
print cloth market is much more ac-
tive for comparatively distant months
and is quotably higher for some
widths. Higher prices for next spring s
mems wear goods are indicated. IN
other lines new developments are not
especially marked. Industry generally
seems slow to gain around. There is
still complaint of dulness and short
time in the iron and steel trades. but
some large sales have been made OF
basic pig iron and railroads are re-
ported buying cars or patching ola
ones in anticipation of a large crop

Bank clearings aggregate S3,2l3,664,-

the same wee kof last year Outside
of New York the total is $1,404. 221, 900

last year. Exports of wheat and flour,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to rs normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-

In naming the tricity cup defender De-

in 1893 of giving cup defenders names
having eight letters c. Oliver 1selin
started this custom and followed 1t SO
closely that 1t has become a superstiti-
ton that n cup defender must have eight
letters In its name.
First there was the Nigilant. followed
by the Defender and Columbia These
three yachts outsailed the two Nalkyries
and the first Shamrock. When the sec
ond Shamrock came the managers
neglected to adhere to the Gus ON and
chose Constitution as the name OF the
new defender. That yacht was not the
success she was expected to be and she
was outsailed in the trial races by the
Columbia. which yacht later successfully
defended the cup. IN the last series of
races in 1908 the Reliance, another eight
letter word. was the name of the new
yacht
Previous to the eight letter superstition
such names as Puritan Mayfiower, Volun-
teer had been used by the Eastern
yachtsmen interested In those vessels. and
before that any euphonious name was
chosen.
just what the New York Yacht Club
defender will he named is causing some
wonder. That yacht. too. may have an

W. III. Childs, commodore OF the Indian
Harbor Yacht Club, must have some
thing to do with Joy in his Yachts. His
first racing boat was the Trouble and
he says ne had trouble then while he was
new to the game. His next boat he
named More Trouble. and IL was appro-
priatcly named. Then he had the Joy
