Cured His RUPTURE

vas badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said my
only hope Of cure was an operation. Trus-
ses did me 10 good. Finally I got hold of
something that quickly and completely
cured me Years have passed and the rup-
ture has never returned, altho I am doing
hard work as a carpenter. There was no
operation, no lost time, no trouble I
have nothing to sell, but will give full in
formation about how you may find a COM
pIete cure without operation, if you write
to me, Eugene NJ. Pullen, Carpenter, 593 G

cut out this notice and show it to any
others who are ruptured-you may save
life or at least stop the misery of rupture
and the worry and danger of an operation.

Chicago. Sept. 11.-Tribune: The grain

at times of selling by houses with seaboaro

buying.

attracts attention is the high condition

Sentiment among corn traders is largely

without getting anywhere except for sharp
declines in nearby deliveries at times. They
think they are right at present and look for
continued liquidation in December.

Chicago Weekly Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Sept. n.-Sharp reduction of
the estimated volume of the spring crop
has had much to do this week with bring
ing about higher prices in the wheat mar
morning was up cents to 4Ac, corn was
unchanged to 1%c higher; oats varying
from SAC decline to &c advance and pro-
visions at gains of 25c to S1.10.
Wheat buying on a large scale for the
eastern seaboard both preceded and fol-
lowed the governments crop figures ana
was generally assumed to be reflection OF
heavy sales to Europe. The buying includ
ed future deliveries TO a notable extern.
After prices however had reached the high
est level for some time, a reaction took
place influenced more or less by weakness
or sterling exchange. A breaking of the
drought In Argentina counted also as a
bearish factor and so. too. did assertions
that the Canadian crop would total % mill
lion bushels more than last year. Farmers
nevertheless were apparently continuing to
adopt holding attitude as a rule.
Corn sympathized with wheat strength
but advances were restrained by the bear

TRADE SEEKING NEW LEVELS IN

I4SS0ridted Press LeIfcf Wre)
 WASHINGTON. June 30. - Busi- ness is passing through a period of readjustment and. in many instances of depression. the federal reserve board declared tonight in its June review of the business and financial conditions Of the country.
 There is. hiwever. every indica. tion that this transition period win not last long-indeed that the turn toward new conditions has already been taken" declared the boards s summary of reports of it's agents who, taking the country as a whole. found considerable variations in business conditions.
 Reduction in retail prices begun in May became universal during June. it was said. in explanation of the continued large volume of retail trade The price cutting movement, the board said. had been aided by the refusal of the public to pay high prices although the tendency of wholesale prices to maintain currSit levels was declared to have been a counteracting influence.
 Except for clothing and shoes. all essential commodities including foodstuffs, show little indication of reduction, but luXuries and non-es- sentials in many lines have been distinctly cut. Quite generally there is tendency to settle down to a readjustment basis and proceed with business upon a new level of prices and demand" the board as serted.
 Control of credit between non essential and production borrowing are producing some results although these are represented as developing themselves slowly and gradually. The present situation is unsettled and is being closely watched. While some price reporting agencices show re. duction, others show increases
 Although some improvement in trans portation was noted, the railroads were said not to have yet overcome the breakdown, and great congestion of goods" was reported to still exist Frequent complaints of car shortage were reflected by agents reports
