W u Sea Captain
Discusses Wife s Case

statement says, chat Tanlac is all
that is claimed for it. Judging from
what it did in my wife's case it does
not lack anything to make it a Won
derfully effective tonic.
Mrs. Thompson suffered from a
complication of ailments which made
it necessary to have her in a hospital
two or three different tines. Follow
ing these periods she was in an ex-
tremely nervous, weak condition and
could not get back her normal
strength, no matter what she did or
took.
FINALLY, at the suggestion of
friends she began taking Tanlac and
three bottles of the treatment accom-
plished the desired results. She got
back both weight and strength, due
to the fact that Tanlac enabled her
to eat heartily and sleep well. Her
nerves became stronger, too, and, in
fact, she spoke Of feeling better than
she ever had. Tanlac not only gave
my wife quick relief, but its work has
been lasting, las four years have
passed and she has had no further
trouble of any kind"
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug
gists. Accept no substitute. Over
81 million bottles sold.

LITTLE NEW BUYING
IN STEEL MARKET
Mills Are Catching Up on Old
0rders-Copper, Tin and
Lead Drop During Week.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 7.-Compara-
lively little new buying Is noted in
the steel market and a great many
mills are closing down for summer
repairs. Buyers are taking delivery
on old orders readily, however. and
values are well maintained despite
the fact that producers are catching
up On their orders and the weakness
i'm basic materials. Pig iron was
Inactive and weak. with further re-
auctions in price and general tend
ency TO curtail production.
copper has remained quiet. Fur
ther reductions were. made in prices
of both brass and copper products
without Immediately stimulating de-
mand and buyers of metal for do
meStic consumption have shown TO
increased interest Export business
is also quiet and while supplies in
second hands are said to be small
producers have shown more willing
ness to sell below the Is cent level.
and are said in some cases to have
hardly enough orders in hand to alb
production.
Tin has reached a new low for the
year, due to the Indifferent attitude
or consumers, weakness in sterling
other materials.
Lead displayed sharp declines, the
leading refiner dropping to 6.35. A
threat of foreign competition and a
prospective falling off in consump-
tive requirements were largely re-
sponsible for the cut in prices.
zinc was quiet but firm on account
or the ore situation, about 80 per

There is some inquiry from opera

business mortalities in the District
OF Columbia for the second quarter Of
the current year. amounting to six
teen and aggregatinG $674,S25 Of
liabilities, indicate an increasing
trend as compared with the corre-
spending period of the previous two
years. when commercial defaults num-
\ bered fourteen and ten. respectively.
Examination of the record Of the
south Atlantic section by states shows
fewer insolvencies in every instance
than last year. except in the District
and in North Carolina, the decreases
ranging from six in Delaware to ITO
In Georgia.
The total of 465 defaults, with liabili-
ties of s13.361,352, in the section dur
ing the second quarter of the year
contrast with S07 failures, involving
al5, 3.e43; in the corresponding
debtedness, moreover. is in favor Of
this year the amounts being smaller
in most cases, and notably so in Vir-
>ginia. Georgia and Florida.
For the first half of this year the
defaults in the south Atlantic states
numbered lib and involved $2S.616,-
bl0 Of liabilities, against 1875 failures
for s39,722,976 during a like period of
1922.
Federal Reserve Ratio Lower.
The combined federal reserve ratio
now stands at 74.4 per cent, compared
with 16.S per cent week ago and
I6.S per cent year ago. The loss of
20 points in ratio was the direct re-
suit of loss of cash, increase in de-
post liabilities and an increase in
federal reserve notes in circulat ion
The changes in the various items were
unusually large, and were brought
about by the heavy midyear money
requirements.
Total loans now amount to S929,839,-
600, a new high record for the year
An increase of S154.900,000 in loans
like the loss of ratio. was brought
about by requirements of midyear
financing. Bankers regard the loss as
only temporary.
Bankers Slow in Payments.
Fernand Petit, chairman of the
hotel and transportation committee
for the bankers convention recently
held at Hot Springs, is somewhat
disappointed with the dilatoriness on
the part of some members in the
settlement of accounts. and urges
prompt response in order that he
may dispose of the accounts due and
render final statement to the con-
vention chairman.
