Duns Review of last week says : In spite of moderate improvement in most of the great industries, busi ness is disappointing. Expectations of speedy end of war in Europe through Turkish victory have helped to depress grain. Demands of Austria and China have caused exports of $6,500,000 gold, merchandise imports are greatly increased, and final action of Congress on the revenue question seems more remote. Floods at the West continue, and the new tariff proposed for Canada is thought likely to affect trade with that country to some extent. Business in this city was suspended a day, but the cere mony in honor of President Grant brought hither such a multitude that local trade has been remarkably large. The country is just now unusually free from important labor troubles, but there are strikes in some cities in the building trades, and others of magni tude are threatened in iron mines and manufacture. Wheat rose last Saturday nearly 2 cts., but has fallen since that day about s cts. This is largely because European markets did not sustain the expectation of a great foreign demand after the outbreak of war, and because events appeared to foreshadow speedy peace, but the tidings from wheat growing States, the receipts from farms, and the enormous exports of corn, all had influence. Corn exports have been 13,250,197 bushels in four weeks against 4,496,679 last year, wJiile Atlantic exports of wheat in the same weeks, flour included, have been nly 4.231.348 bushels, against 4.397. 215 last year. Nor is this surprising, for if in use two bushels of corn only equal one bushel wheat, the two bushels corn would cost about 60 cts. and the one bushel wheat nearly 80 cts. Western receipts have been re duced, perhaps in part by floods and interruption of traffic. The cotton market has advanced a quarter of a cent, owing mainly to a speculative impulse from England, but the delay in abatement of floods and their con tinued destructiveness afford an ap parent reason. The exports 01 gold would not have much influence if there were not an extraordinary increase in merchandise imports and some decrease in exports from New York, large for the last week and 5 per cent, for April. Im ports have increased about 60 per cent, over last year for the week, and for four weeks have been 30 per cent. 1 greater ; in dry goods alone $4,860,. 000, while the imports of wool have been $3,749,439 here, and in sugar and tobacco imports are also large. At Boston imports of wool have been extraordinary, and at Philadelphia they have amounted for the month to $1,278,000. The thought that this abnormal increase may continue as long as action on the revenue bill is deferred tnds to affect exchange, but Sleepless Nights Run Down In Health Constant Pains In Arms and Shoulders A Valuablo Clft-Health, Appetite and Sleep-Pains are Cone. 'I was run down fn health and could hardly keep on my feet. The least exer tion would cause palpitation and I would (eel os though I was being smothered. My nights were aleeplcss and I telt worse In the morning than when I retired. My liver waa out of ordor and I had constant pains in my arms and shoulders nud numbness In my limbs. I was vowotimes dizzy and would foil. My son gave me two bottles of Hood's Barsaparllla and tbey proved of more value than a very costly gift. In a abort time after taking Hood's Barsaparllla I had a good appetite, ele;p came back to rue and the pains all left mo." Mas. Annib E.

Bold by JONES & WALTER, Bloomsburg, Pa. the main influence at present is the exceptional demand for reconstruct tion of the Austrian monetary system and for Japan. Securities have not fluctuated much, nor have foreign operations materially affected the market, as Americans have been neglected in London. JjBut the demand for bonds has been con stant, though smaller than it was some time ago. Railways are making quite fair reports, when abnormal causes of disturbance are considered, earnings in April being only 1.6 percent, less than last year, and 6.5 per cent, less than in 1892, and in east-bound ton nage from Chicago the decrease is smaller than is usual about the time navigation opens. The stock market has relapsed into slumber, and with light trading has declined a small frac tion for both railroad securities and trust stocks. HUNDREDS KILLED AT PAEIS. Hundreds of lives were lost and as many more persons injured in a fire which destroyed a charitable bazar fn Paris Tuesday afternoon. From 1500 to 1,800 were in the place at the time and a terrible panic ensued. The bazar was mostly patronized by the aristocracy and the fire broke out over stall 13, occupied by the Du chess D'Uzes, one of the most promi nent society women in France. One hundred corpses have been found and it is believed that twice that number lost their lives. Miss Elsie Bushbeck ot Philadelphia, was one who escaped, but it is thought that many from the United States are among the unfortu nates. Cascarets stimulate liver, kidneor and bowels.
