Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Unsettled weather was the most un satisfactory feature of the business sit uation. A sudden thaw following an exceptionally heavy snowfall produced freshets and floods. Manufacturing and transporting interests suffered se verely, nnd consumers were urgent for shipment of delayed goods, while great quantities of merchandise became stall ed in transit. Preparations for an enor mous spring trade continue undimin ished. All staples steadied, and some rose sharply, the net chunges for the week amounting to a considerable advance. It was natural for grain to hold firm when wheat receipts at the west were 2,8'.)!),341 bushels compared with 3,74", 052 last year, while arrivals of corn were but 2,001.014 bushels against 5,020,438 a year ago. For the first time in this season cot ton showed un advance over the price nt the corresponding date last year, and it is significant that the higher fig ure failed to attract heavy selling at the south. Failures for the week numbered 170 In the United States against 208 last year, and 17 in Canada against 20 last year. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sew York Stjick Quotation.

The news caused excitement In the mine market. Tlirogmorton street was thronged with South African operators eagerly Inquiring for details of the Pritish defeat and watching the effect of the announcement. The news was received in the house of commons amid great excitement. The reading of Lord Kitchener's tele gram by the war secretary, Mr. Prod rick, was listened to in deep silence, which was broken by loud Irish cheers. Instantly there were cries of 'Shame, shame:" from the government benches. Then the Irish members seemed to think better of their outbreak and sud denly subsided.

Nesham of the Koynl artil lery, who were both killed while serv ing their guns with case shot." The force under General Delarey was almost entirely dressed in British uni forms.

Between the ages of fifteen and forty-five, the time when womanhood begins and motherhood ends, it is estimated that the aggregate term of woman's suffering is ten years. Ten years out of thirty! One third of the best part of a woman's life sacrificed! Think of the enormous loss of time! lint time is not all that is lost.
