mer—Oreat Combinations Struggling
to Prevent Decline—Cotton .Rills Do
ing Well and the Demand for Tex
tiles Steadily Improving. —»•
New York, Nov. B.—R. G. Dan &
C >’s Weekly Review of Trade, which
issues to-morrow, will say:
“It has been a broken week, and just
before and after elections in the most
important States, operations rarely have
much significance. Business may be
largely affected in time, but as yet there
is scarcely any indication what the ef
fect will bo. The controlling power at
present is the effort to readjust prices
after the remarkable rise of last summer
in important materials and products,
with the stiu ?gle of great combinations
to prevent decline.
Cotton mills do well, as the halt and
hesitation in cotton does not stop buy
ing of goods, and many believe goods
safe at current prices, even if cotton is
not. The market for raw cotton is held
at 8.81 cents in spite of a highly re
spectable estate of only 6,435,000 bales
for the year. Even at that the supply
of 0,400,000 would be more than enough,
but other estimates are mu h higher.
Wheat falls back with great reluctance
from its summer rise of 20 cents, but
has declined 1 l-4c for the week, western
receipts being 8,019,910 bushe’s, against
3,845,032, for the same week last year.
Belief in a crop much smaller than last
year's has to resist actual receipts of
43,725,368 bushels in six weeks, against
30,446 005 last year, and Atlantic ex
ports have been only 9,093,424 bushels,
flour included, against 13,347,619 last
year. The exports in winter wheat from
some States are also better.
Corn comes forward largely, receipts
being more than double last year’s, when
nearly a million bushels went abroad.
The rapid marketing of supplies of wheat
from Russia and Argentine, and the
larger exports of corn from this country,
both tend to lessen the future demand
for American wheat.
Failures for the week have been 280 in
the United States against 261 last year,
and 49 in Cauada, against 42 last year.
Bradstreet’s Review of Trade.
New York, Nov. B.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say:
The interruption to general trade
throughout the country, incident to elec
tion, has been emphasized by unusually
mild weather, which checks demand for
clothing, heavy weight textiles and other
seasonable goods. Jobbers almost of the
large distributing centers report that
orders tow received are largely of a till
ing in character.
Except for iron, steel and cotton, the
larger portfou ot advices in prices of
commodities reported since March last,
has largely disappeared. Earlier antici
pations of continuous advices in prices
and demand this year, the outgrowth of
the activity of two and three months ago,
have met with disappointment. But there
is little reason for the reaction
in sentiment by many who discuss busi
ness conditions. Every wave of in
creased demand since the tide began to
rise in March, has resulted in net gain.
Sentiment of traders generally is that the
outlook promises an active spring trade,
and that the holiday season will prove
satisfactory. The feature of the busi
ness week among larger eastern cities is
an improve demand ford textiles, with
increased strength in iron at Pittsburg
after the recent reaction.

Monday Evening.
Asheville Citizen.
Bilrmore House, with its stately mag

WHAT A’LS THE PEOPLE?
The True Cause of Most Physical
Troubles Made Perfectly Hear.
“What are the principal ailments of
the American people?”
This question was recently put by a re
porter to Dr. Ephraim Cutler, whose name
siaads foremost in the ranks of the medi
cal profession. His answer was:
“Blight’s disease ”
“The great increase of this fearful
malady is attracting universal attention.
Everyone is anxious to know how it is
brought on. “What causes it Doctor.'
* t Tho physician paused for a few minutes
before replying,and then said: “1 can best
explain that by a very simple illustra
tion. Any one who eats beefsteak knows
what is fat and what is lean. Now, if
the muaele of ' the steak is partially
changed to fat, it is called ‘fatty degen
eration.’ In the tame way, wirh the
human body, if the kidney substance
changes into fat, it is celled ‘Bright’s
disease ’ Bright’s disease is fatty de
generation, and notone person iu twelve
is free from some form of kidney or liver
disease.”
4 May I a k if there is any cure of
these complaints?'’ the reporter in
quired.
“Yes,” replied the doctor, “there is, if
people will only take the right remedy
at the right time. As a rule, it is only
when they break down, lose appetite,
find their complexion sallow, a con
stant white coating on the tongue, and
inflamed eyes that they suspect any
thing is wrong. American genius has
found it possible to arrest diseases of
the liver and kidneys and to positively
cure Bright’s disease. The discovery of
Warner's Safe Cure has been a God
send to the world. There are thousands
of men and women who are alive to-day
and kept in health entirely through its
use. Tnis fact is now known and admit
ted by physicians in every portion of
the globe.”
The words of the doctor are true ana
they demand theserious consideration of
everyone who reads these lines. Bright’s
disease is, undoubtedly, the most alarm
ing of all our modern diseases. It often
comf.s without warning, has few symp
toms of its own, but shows the signs of
almost all other complaints. Any man
or woman who is at all “out of sorts”
should u< t hesitate, for it is a well
known truth that “delays are danger
ous.”
THE SPORTSMAN’S PARADISE.
Eighteen O’possums Caught up one
Persimmon Tree.
Special to the News and Observer.
Aurora, N. C., Nov. 8.
Mr. W. T. Bryan was out hunting last
night and caught five o’possums and a
fine gobbler. But Horace Jenkins,
colored, did better than that He caught
eighteen o’possums, all of them being
up one persimmon tree A few days
ago three of our citizens went out wild
goose hunting returning at night wit h
60 fat geese, the result of one day’s
work. Occasionally we have larger game
such as deer and bear.
Mr. Montague, of Winston, is visiting
relatives here.
Dr J. W. P. Smithwick, of Bertie,
has located in this place for the practice
of medicine
Theco ton crop has about all been
gathered and sold. The farmers in this
section are complaning that their corn
crop is almost as short as the cotton
crop.
There is nothing that causes women
greater discomfort and misery than the
constantly recurring headache. Men suf
fer less with headache. “My wife’s
health was very indifferent, having head
ache continually, and just two packages
of Simmons Liver Regulator released her
from all headache and gave tone and
vigor to her whole system. F have never
regretted its use.” —M. B. Deßord, Mt.

Five years ago I used Mrs Joe Per

Rai-eioh, N. C., Feb. 8,1896.
Lyon MJy. Co., Brooklyn, N. Y.
Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican flustang Uni-
ITient extensively advertised here Induces me to tell you
how useful it Is to persons in the livery business I have
used it for the past 18 years on ray liorsos foe almost every
thing that horses are subject to. For sprains and stiff Joints
I do not think it has an equal, and tor such things ae
harness galls and rubs R is wonderful.
I once had a very fine driver who was thrown from his car
riage in a runaway and so severely bruised about his shoul
dors and breast that I did not think ho would ever be able
to get on a carriage again. I remembered, however, what
Mexican Mustang Liniment did for my horses in case of
bruises and had him use It constantly, and In about' two
weeks he was as good a driver as ever, and not an ache or
pain remained.
I know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but
I thought I would add one more testimonial to the useful
ness of M ustang Liniment. Yours truly, 0
