NEW YORK , Oct. 13. Braastreet's tomor
row will say :
Trade nctlvitj- widespread , all''meas-
nic-5 of volume and value tet > tlf > lng to
prevailing prosperous conditions Only good
reports aio received from distributive trade
ctnlers , and some markets report fall de
mand as holding out longer than expected
Railway cat nines , bank clearings' returns
and quotations of staple prices are all
encouraging , pointing as thej do to a
m ixlmuin volume of buslnebs for this
period of the > ear.
Crop returns for October bear out former
Impressions of a short jleld In most leatN
Ing agricultural productions , expectation
of moie modtr.itu j it-Ids of leading cereils
Is not conllned to this cojmtry. The world's
wheat crop will admittedly be smaller , and
rje , barley and oats jlelds arc not ex
pected to bo so large ns a. year ago The
higher range of prices of all staples and
particularly agricultural products , how
ever , will furnish a prolltablo balance to
producers The advance in the price of
cotton has been a notable one , and though
some reaction Is naturally noted , the ef
fect of the advance upon genural southern
trade In this Industry Is particularly
beneficial , as this section alone has ap
peared to lag somewhat behind the pro
cession of piosperltj.
In the manufacturing branch of the
trade , strength Is well nigh universal. Ad
vances have been numerous , and a scarcity
of goods rather tlnn of demand is the
main subject of complaint. While n source
of depression to cotton , the Transvaal
situation has proved rather favorable to
wheat and other cereals , offsetting heavy
Increases In v Islble supplies. The liberality
of foreign demand Is perhaps best shown
In the September report of exports of
leading products. Shipments of breadstuffs
were as largo as those of Auguht , and
there was naturally a heavj * demand In
cotton exports , which are double those of
the same month n year ago. Totals of
leading exports show an Increase of J3
per cent over September a jear ago , and
over September , 15 % , but a decrease o
S 5 per cent from September , 1897 , w hlch
witnessed very heavy ship/.cuts of bread
stuffs.
General manufacturing Industrj- run
ning full and actlvltj Is so widespread
that It Is hard to prefer one Industry
to another In this respect Coal produc
tion Is particulnily heavy , but a scarcity
of cars is complained of In this and in
the coke Industrj , with the strength of
like fielghts constituting a disturbing
element as regards the supply of anthra
cite In the west. Iron and steel are ac
tive as to production , but new business Is
limited by the small quantities available
for nearby deltvtrj. Liberal orders are
still reported for the llrst half of next
jear and steel rails nro reported tending
upward at the west.

writes : "Pe-ru-na cures when all other
remedies fall. I can heaitlly recommend
Pe-ru-na as a catanh remedy. It has been
two j-eara since I was cured , and I consider
my cure permanent. I learned of the rem
edy through friends , and although I had ap-
piled to several doctors and used many rem

do I feel pleased to speak a good word for

When the otomach Is affected by catarrh
there is a large quantity of vitiated mucous
poured out Into the stomach , which consti
tutes a very serious drain upon the vital
powero This mucous passes away In ono

by the patient , who Is unable to account for
the gient weakness and prostration which it
experienced
