TALMAGE , Neb. , Oct. 27. ( Special. ) The
record ot C. P. Lloyd , fuslonlst candidate
for treasurer of Otoo county , was made the
subject of an investigation during his pres
ent term by J. A. Simpson , state examiner of
county treasurers , who reported a number of
Irregularities. The total cash on hand ,
which the &tato accountant was able to dls
cover , amounted to $117,776.70. The. balance
shown to be due by the books was $119,283.63 ,
leaving a balance not accounted for in favor
of the county of $1,508.84. As an offset for
this discrepancy Mr. Simpson reported to
the county commissioners that thefuslonlst
treasurer was carrying certain Items as
cash , which the examiner could not allow.
These alleged credits consisted of memoranda
ot loans advanced to nrlvato . .parties , ono
Veal "estate- mortgage , a cfatm foe clerk hire
nnd several tax sale certificates.
The accountant also criticised the lack o
promptness evidenced in the bookkeeping.

shipments of boots and shoes for Septcm- I
ber are 350,590 cases , against 313,814 last !
year , and loss in any other reluctance of
buyers to pay ns much as manufacturers
ask , renders spring orders much below the
average
Buyins of wool has been heavy at Bos
on 10,071,200 pounds for the week nnd at
-he three central markets 13.570.S37 pounds ,
making 42.01S.2SO pounds in four weeks ,
against 36,394.000 in 1S07 , when the last
great speculation was on foot. Many mills
nro now buying which have recently
started after long idleness , besides the
American Woolen company , -with others ,
which have bought largely before , while
foreign quotations and some British buv-
Ing of Australian nnd South African wool
stimulated the market , though prices are
not quotably higher. The demand for
joods Improves nnd a great season is con-
Jldcntly expected. The advance in cotton
goods does not stop , for the demand Is
heavy nnd standard print cloths have lieen
ralhed lie by the selling committee , nut
the operatives have dnmanded higher
wages , possibly Induced by reports made
when the combine was proposed and some
works may stori.
The cotton market closes 1-lGc lower , the
shortage of the movement being attributed
lartrely , and perhaps too Inrgclv , to con
certed holding of stocks by growers or fac
tories.
The Increase in October compared with
last year has been heavy and exports have
been small , although at such prices that
500,000 hides represent iteHMy'as much value
ns 700.000 last rear.
The wheat demand is practically un
changed , while Atlantic exports , Hour In
cluded , have been 1232S41 bushels in four
weeks , against 13.483,056 last year , and Pa
cific exports 2,107.771 bushels , against 3,124-
306 last year. Western receipts fall short
and In four weeks have been only 30,022.053
bushels , against 40,150,609 last year. With
out concert , thorp is probably some waitIng -
Ing for better prices by farmers. Corn ex
ports continue to show the magnitude of
forelfin demand for breadstuffs , reaching
14,478,719 bushels , against 8,546,973 last year ,
and the demand has been large enoUKh to
advance the price ' /6 cent.
Failures for the week have been 100 In
the United States , against 226 last year ,
and twenty-three In Canada , against
twenty-four last year.
IIHADSTHKKT'S HUVIBW OF THADE.
f Wenthcr linn Eiiervnt-
IIIK Iiifliimce on Commerce.
NEW YORK , Oct. 27. Bradstroet's tomor
row will say :
A quieting1 down of distributive trade ,
more particularly at retail. Is reported in
the telegraph advices < to Bradstrect's this
week , growing out of the unreasonably
warm weather now being experienced in
most sections of the country. Reflection
of this is found in less urgent orders re
ceived by jobbers and In somewhat Im
paired collections at many points. AH re
gards' ' prices , however , there is no appre
ciable loss of tnrensth , the great majority
of quotations remaining steady , and among
those making changes advances are still
numerjus. That the business condition of
the country remains at nn unprecedented
volumeis testified to by the heavy gains
noted In bank clearings over a year ago
and by the immense Increases In railway
unrninrra < wpr nxccntlonallv Kood returns
last October , As regards the current activ
ity in transportation It may bo said that
eastward traffic from Chicago In the laat
month has beert more than double that re
ported In the same period a year ago and
nearly twice ns large as that reported In-
October of 1S92 , n. record period of good
trade. The ocean freight situation Is
gradually improving , partly because high
rates nro attracting all available disen
gaged tonnage nnd partly because the check
to foreign buying , particularly of cere.-ilK ,
caused by the advance In vespel rate ? , has
exercised a redex action on the latter mar
ket. Simultaneously with the drop In
freight rates this week has come a hard
ening of quotations for cereals , Wheat has
been sympathetically strong , OH have other
cereals , and wheat Hour has been advanced
this week , Coffee Is llrm , but much higher
on the we k , some speculative reaction hav
ing been noted. Among leading products
decreasing in price , tin and copper among
the metals have been most notable , the
latter claimed to bo due to production approaching
preaching more to a parity with demand.
Cotton Is fractionally lower as the result
of llio deadlock between foreign consumers
and American producers , The situation of
cotton goodn. one of aggressive strength ,
Is undoubtedly a supporting feature of no
email account. The strength of wool is
natural In view of the. very large sale ,
most of which IB claimed to have been for
account of manufacturers. In woolen goods
demand Is favorable and further price ad
vances are predicted.
Lumber nfter flight hesitation nt some
markets , duo to enlarged supplies , is again
very llrm , as are also hides and leather In
sympathy with recent advances In boots
and shoe , The situation of Iron and steel
IH perhaps the most notable one yet pre
sented. The feature of the market Is the
reported booking by the steel rail mills of
the country of nearly 75 per cent of their
capacity for next year's delivery In all
500,000 tons of rails nre reported to have
been bojked for delivery early next year ,
and there IB In additional consideration un-
I tlnlshed buriness on 1K > 9 account which It
' Is claimed will ntlll further enlarge the
been booked for delivery curly next year ,
i Heavy buying of pig Iron , undoubtedly to
I cover some of the rail sales , U reported

week. This movement was partly based
on recovery of the London market , which
in the early days of the week discounted
the possibility of a speedy ending of the
Transvaal war by a sharp advance , in
which American rails shared the honor.s
with ICafllr mines. The somewhat easier
tone of money cased speculation and con
siderable relief was experienced when It
was found that the recent rise In foreign
exchange rates was due largely to excep
tional transactions In securities and that
no gold was likely to be shipped to Lon

The Increased activity In stock prices on
the succeeding days since last Monday
was accompanied by a. harder tone in the
money market , the rates rising to nbovo
C per cent , and on Friday afternoon touched
10 per cent. This was accompanied , more
over , by evidences of discrimination against
Industrial collateral by the banks , the cop
per stocks In some Instances having , It ap
pears , been rejected In bank loans , which
tan readily be understood In view of that
class of securities. Yet th < stock market
was to all appearances morn Impressed by
the talk of a speedy return of money from
the Interior to Now York and It mlcht be
observed that large bids were received for
the $2,800,000 of New York City 3 > & per cent
bonds which worn offered tills week , the
average of the bids being over 107.
The money situation was also Influenced
by 1 the favorable statement of the Bank ot
Kncland and the further decline of dis
counts in London. The interest rates ,
therefore , did not materially check the bul-
llbh feeling , though the Industrial stocks
were held In cheek by the restrictions
which the lack of facilities for carrying
them Impose. At the same time Wall street

for over three years ; ho said my trouble

am ready at all times to speak a good word
'or ' your medicine. "
Chas. D. Smyth , Angel's Camp , Cal. , says :
'Chronlo catarrh In the head , no ? o and
throat has been a source of trouble and great
annoyance to me for more than ten years. I
M.VO used all such medicines as came
under my notice as a catarrh cure without
any help to mo , except at limes byj some ,
only a temporary relief , but no cure , My
physician , to whom I applied , did not do any
better. My troubles became worse and my
sufferings Increased Instead of Improving.
Loss ot appetite , sleep and flesh , besides con
tinual coughing and pain , showed too plainly
that my case was n desperate one. I lost
ttlmofot nil faith In the so-called catnrrh
cures , when I read about Pe-ru-na , and con
cluded to try this as n last resource. Thanks
to Dr. Hartmnn's invention , I now enjoy as
goo.l health as I ever did , sleep soundly ,
Imvo excellent appetite , and have gained In
weight morn than 1 ever did in my life. I
have used nine bottles of Pe-ru-na nnd no
other medicine to effect my cure , and 1 can
most sincerely recommend It to n suffering
humanity afflicted as I have been. "
Catarrhal affections may bo acuteor
chronic , mild or severe , ephemeral or stub
born , lasting or Heeling , painful or. trivial ,
but they nil have ono origin , ono nature
catnrth. They all have ono cure Pe-ru-na.
Mr. William Flood , caio Fifth Avenue

cellent tonic , Pe-ru-na , has completely cured
mo of that dlstieasing disease , catarrh ,
which affected my head , ncnc , bronchial
tubes , and. . In fact , my whole system. For
nlno years , which is the length ot time I
have sulTered , I bought everything that was
advertised as a sure cure for my complaint ,
but it so happened that I did not buy Pe-
ru-na until five months ngo. After using
your splendid remedy according to your di
rections I am today a. well man. I find Po-
ru-na to bo the greatest family medlcino
over discovered. I shall always keep a
bottle ot It on hand. I can candidly state
that had It not been for Pe-ru-na I would
have clven up my position , being too weak
to do my work. "
Mr. William Dowklcy , Gloustcr , Ohio ,
says : "Eighteen years ago I suffered with ,
chronic catarrh and palpitation ot the heart ,
which made life a bur
