Belief Is General That a Change for the Better Will Soon Take Place. R. G. Dun & Co.’s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Aside from the strike of garment workers developments of the past week have tended to strength- en confidence. The fiscal year is draw- ing to a close, with National customs receipts being no cause for uneasiness. The most important trade - influence just now is the progress-of the. crops, and the past week has brought no set- .back. Railway earnings thus far for June are surprisingly satisfactory, an inerease ower last year of 47 per cent reported. Few changes are noted in the situation at iron furnaces and steel mills. Nominally, the list of prices remain the same, although small concessions are reported on some Or- ders that were not urgent, and -the average of all products of the industry is a trifle lower because of the de- clines which were practically con- fined to pig iron. Taking the industry as a whole, reports are almost unani- mous, regarding the lack of new or- ders, but there is a wide diversity of opinjon as to the future. Many au- thorities anticipate a revival in the fall; others believe that there will be no material change until spring while July 1 is made the turning point by the most sanguine. Bituminous coal and coke feel the stagnation keenly, but hard coal is moving freely. Western hide markets have ruled very dull. Footwear salesmen returning from Western trips report good sample business in spring shoes. In the primary market for cotton goods fur- ther reductions in prices have occur- red, chiefly staple lines or printed cal- icoes. The raw wool market is very strong, despite smail buying by the mills. Failures this week numbered 227 in the United States against 223 last year, and 32 in Canada compared with 19 a year ago. Bradstreet’s says: There has been some enlargement in demand at the West this week, but the betterment as vet is largely one of tone and fis pre- dicated upon the unquestionably bet- ter crop advices received from nearly all sections. The iron trade appears to be grounding upon the bottom as rega=ds prices, and curtailment is be- coming widespread. MARKETS. PITTSBURG.

Some statistics just published in Austria throw an interesting light on the aiiments from which doctors suffer. One fact is instructive. The medical profession contr-outes only 7 per cent to the mortality from tuber- culosis, which speaks volumes for the efficacy of intelligent precaution. On the other hand, for some reason not very apparent, 40 per cent of doctors die from diseases of the heart or of the nervous system, while also 40 per cent of Austrian victims of the morphia habit are medical men. The average age of Austrian doctorg is 60. A REASON FOR SICKNESS.

Suggestions by Dr. Hartman---How to Combat the Nervous Depression Incident to Warm Weather. Nervousness is very common among women. This condition is due to anaemic nerve centers. The nerve centers are the reservoir for nerve vitality. These centers become bloodless for the want of proper nutrition. This condition is especially noticeable during the warm season. Every sum- mer an army of invalids are produced as a direct result of weak nervous systems. This could easily be overcome by the use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the trouble by correcting the digestion. - Perfect digestion furnishes increased nutrition for the nerve centers. Perfectly digestéd food gives these reser- voirs of life a vitality -vhich creates strong, steady nerves, and in this manner fortifies and snourishes life. Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent young society woman of Memphis, Tenn., in a recent letter from 174 Alabama street, writes: “To a society woman whose nervous force is ofte- taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals, I know of nothing which isof so much benefit as Peruna. 1 tool it a few months ago when I felt my strength giv- ing way, and it soon made itself man- ifest in giving me new strength and health.”’=-Miss Blanche Grey. Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One rcason why Peruna has found per manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not Ps temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, ani gradually eliminates catarrh by re- moving the cause of calarrh. There are a multitude of homes wherc Peruna has been used ~ff and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna con- tained any drugs of a narcotic nature. At this season of the year we are pe- culiarly liable to inflammations of the stomach and bowels. It is the part of wis- dom to learn how to .t tk:m short and i. 1.e easiest and quickes: manner. Pe- runa does this by its peculiar power over all forms of ¢ rrhai troubles. BUSINESS CONTRACTION. Southern States and Pacific Slope : Have Not Suffered. A comparison of the business and clearings of the various sections of the country in May shows declines in clearing-house transactions in all sec- tions except the South and the Pacific Coast, where there were increases. In the Middle States the decrease of clearings was 13 per cent.; in the Mid- dle West ¢ per cent.; in the other West 5 per cent. and in New England six-tenths of 1 per cent. In the South on the other hand, clearings increased in May, 1904, to $473,000,000, against $457,000,000 in May, 1903, an increase of 3 per cent. On the Pacific Coast the increase was from $205,000,000 to $211,000,000, or 2 per cent. For the whole country there was a contraction of business to the extent of 9.9 per cent. The figures prove a business re- action. Still, il is possiblé to exag- gerate their significance, since a large part of the shrinkage was in speculative transactions, not in legiti- mate business. Railroad earnings shown a decline of only 11% per cent. In the South the abundance “of money produced by good prices for cotton has caused, it is stated, an in- creased demand for land and an ad- vance of 25 per cent in some. sec- tions. For many years land has been a “drug on the market” in the South, but the situation is greatly improved. Much surplus money has gone into the erection of buildings. At Top of Ladder. A woman whose acquaintance with the methods and opportunities of work in a modern newspaper office is of the slightest was talking to a friend about her son’s start in life.

His mother was enthusiastic over his good fortune. “Do you know,” “they’ve given him such a splendid position. He's the crime editor at Jefferson Market Police Court!”—Har- per's Weekiy.
