Strength of Staple 1'roiluctn.
NEW YORK , Sept. 2S.-Bradstreets
say :
The notable * feature of the business sltun
tlon is the strength of agricultural prod
Ucts. notably t'he ' cereals , cotton and porl
products. Fall trade continues good
though It is conceded at several markets
that the biggest part of the fall buslnes
has been done and that re-orders from now
onwill cut the largest figure. Weather
conditions , whtlo favorable to cotton crop
harvesting , are claimed < o be hurtful to
further growth because of dry weather
Outside speculative Interest In this staple
rtiort covering , partly , It la claimed , or
foreign account and1 the exceptlonu
strength of the manufacturing Industry
the prodticts of which are in active do-
trana and tendlntr upward , are all reflecte <
In the rapid advances for both futures
ar ! spots.
VlslU supplies , while considerably
larger Uian In recently preceding years
are slightly smaller than they were in 1895
since when consumption thas unquestion
ably heavily Increased. Middling uplands
are now % o higher at the bcglnlng of the
month , I4o hlgner than , lost year and 2o
above the lowest point reached on the 1893-
The extension of the price agreement as
regards print cloths , the new one , lio\v-
over , covering all classes of the product ,
lias strengthened < Lhe situation In cotter
goods and at llio eomo time Is credited
with presenting an , obstacle to the progress
of the proposed combination talked of for
Eome tlmo past.
Wheat ihns remained steadily strong ,
growing firmer toward the close on en
larged1 foreign buying' nnd uncertainty as
to the outcome of South African affairs.
Sympathetic strength is displayed by corn
and other cereals. Increased foreign , de
mand Is reported largely responsible , too ,
for the stronger tone and advances shown
In ihog products.
Wool has continued strong and in active
demand both at friomo nnd abroad. Some
American ibuylnp la reported at the Ix > n-
don sales , which will close earlier thnn
expected , owing to exhaustion of supplies.
In the manufacturing1 branch of the trade
demand is reported aotlvt
There Is a quieter tone < it most markets
for Iron and steel and large , buyers have
Jem , most of them , out of the market.
There is no diminution in strength , how
ever , and a number of advances , notably
on southern iron and steel billets , are to
be reported. Complaints ot backward de-
Jveries are as numerous as ever.
Lumber remains active at most markets
though complaints of slow delivery , due to
lack of cars , are also heard.
Southern manufactures 'have ' again ad
vanced the price of stoves , which are now
nearly one-third higher than a year ago
and1 plow manufacturers haVe also joined
In this movement , marking the third au-
Vanicowithin a year In 'this ' branch of farm
implements. An equally strong tendency
as to price Is noted in hardware , particu
larly "builders " grades.

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM.
[ LITTEK TO UKS. riNXBAu no. 7,104 ]
"I cannot express my gratitude to
you for the good that Lydla E , Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me. I have taken five bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
I had suffered for years with dropsy ;
the veins in my limbs burst , caused
from the pressure of the water. I had
the worst kind of kidney trouble , faint
ing spells , and I could not stand long
at a time. I also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a tumor
in my left side. The pains I had to
stand were something dreadful. A
friend handed me ftllttl * book of yours ,
BO I got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating and the tumora
have all gone and I do not Buffer any
pain. I am still using the Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief as I have done from its use. "

What are we to make of the fact that ,
although llonore do Balzac died In

twentieth century , no fewer than three
translations of his novels , each putting
forward pretensions to completeness
more or less Justified , are offered to the
English-speaking world.
One of these , Issued by * * * of
Boston , has been In course of publca-
tlon for Bonic years ; * * * It has
this demerit , that MANY Ol ! ' THE
