Volume of business, both foroigri and domestic,
than has ever been kflbwtf ljofoJ:o:
At Uo.iton general btlsiness is steady, Cotton
mil s were never batter employed and trade in
woolens is heavy, while in boots and shoes
business is eminently prosperous. At Phila-
delphia grocertas aro aetlvo and trade in Jew-
elry, glass and paints is fairly satisfactory, but
but in dry goods somewhat dull. Ho'iday
trade at Baltimoro Is encouraging and tliore is
a growing demand from tho south, for ail
classes of products. At Pittsburgh tlio do-
maud for manufacture 1 iron \-t somewhat 1
urgent, but tho output of pig iron increases
and trade in gins* is fairly active. Tho shoe
trade at Cincinnati is satisfactoiy and collec-
tions aro fair. At CiovuYand trade is activo la

Prices havo fallan 10 per cant. At Indianapolis
business is comparatively qri'et, and at De-
troit dull. Iron products are in fair demand;
Trade at Chicago is especially active in holiday

much ueod as usual for loans in ordinary busl-
Keceiptsof poflr, lard, drossod boof, ryo
and h'dgs are loss than a yeiir ago, arid nlao of
hides, corn, wool and flour, whilo soma increase
appears in choose, oats, b.xrloy, wheat, cat-
tle and sheep. At St. Louis holiday trade
s remarkably large, and gmoral business
i3 active. Tho great improvomonfc hero in
railway facilities is folt in tho growing sho;*,
dry goods, saddlery and tobacco business of
tho city. At Milwaukee business h largir th m
a year ago, and at Mt. Paul and Minneapolis
fairly good, though collections aro backward
owing to tho open weather. T/ie lumbertrado
is very active, and wheat reclpts at Minneapo-
lis firo h tniliion btnhels Jargoi- than 'Izht year.
Tl-iide at Omaha is very activo, and at Kansas
City decidedly greater than a ycr.r ago. At
Sioux City business is especially activo in dry
goods, groceri es and hardware, with a good de-
mand for monoy. Trado at bsnVer is fair, at
Louisville a full avorage, an I at Little Rook
improving becausa of tho rise in cotton. Bad-
ness at Memphis is dull, but vor y good in holi-
day linas at Nashville, and at New Orleans fair
with luon-y in good demand; audgonrral trade
is helped by tho improvement in prices of cot-
ton.
The output of pig iron, according to t'l- Iron
Age. was 170.271 tons weekly, December 1,
against 171,002 tons weekly November 1, and
yet tho stocks of pig iron unsold wera but 720,-

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. ■
.The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet-
est; most delicious food. The strongest baking pow-
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
6f the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at q, lower price than the Eoyal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul-
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

YOUR HEALTH.
The citadel of life must be guarded
at two points. In the first place there
is the danger of taking cold. We take
cold through the skin and this affects
the kidneys and the lungs. So inti-
mately are these organs connected,"
that a cold affects both. In order to
relieve the system, both should be
treated, or rather the whole system
should be regulated. This is done by
Reid's German Cough and Kidney
Cure. It acts as a stimulant and re-
stores the organs to action. The
other weak Spot is the digestion.
When the food does not digest, it ac-
cumulates and causes fever, sickness
and death. The Laxative Gum Drops
will remove" all waste material from
the system and do it without pain or
griping. Ask your druggist for these
remedies and see that he gives them
to you.

why Mrs. is so enthusiastic about
