The Week

The Business World

The general financial situation during the past week has continued to be promising and favor able. Imports of gold have continued, and the total here or engaged now amounts to about $48,000,000. Indications point to a temporary ceasing of this increase in the money supply; whether it will again be renewed will depend upon trade conditions. The stock market was strong during the early part of the week, but at the end some reaction was felt. In many instances sellers rebought within a few hours. The report of railway earnings for September, though it showed gross earnings considerably smaller than those for the month in 1895, was not considered discouraging, as the total was larger than for the month in 1894, and last year was the best for several years. The bank statement showed an increase of $2,624,900, in deposits of $6,364,400, and in specie and legal tenders of about $3,900,000. The movement of money to the interior continues. Commercial paper ruled at about seven per cent.; time money at about six per cent. The foreign exchange market was strong, and the money market generally showed great activity. Sugar stock was bought and sold exten

sively on rumors of a new independent refinery. The exports of wheat were the largest in three years, amounting to 4.215,794 bushels, an increase of about 1,600,000 bushels over the corresponding week last year. Reports continue of short crops in foreign countries,

and there are even fears of a wheat famine in

India; our own crop will be at least an average good one. The price of wheat has touched 75 cents. Prices of commodities in many instances improved during the week. This was particularly true with Bessemer pig iron, boots and shoes, leather, wool, and lumber. The volume of trade is not as yet normal for the season, but it has improved somewhat. "Bradstreet's" gives the total number of business failures from January 1 to September 30, 1896, as 11,280, which is 140 larger than for the corresponding nine months of the panic year of 1893.

Breaking Through the Iron Gates

At last the great obstacle to navigation through

the Danube has been removed. This obstacle, the Iron Gates, is the culmination of a series of rocky ridges crossing the channel here and there for many miles. At the Iron Gates itself, eighty miles below Bazias, a reef 350 yards wide bars the channel. Here a canal has been cut, two miles long, 260 feet wide, and ten feet deep, and hereafter the Danube from Vienna to the Black Sea will be navigable by large river steamboats. The river was formally opened to navigation on Sunday of last week by the Emperor Francis Joseph, who was accompanied by King Charles of Roumania, King Alexander of Servia, and many famous diplomats, foreign officials, and distinguished men. The whole work cost nearly $10,000,000, and no less than 60,000 cubic meters of pavement, 200,000 of stone, and 250,000 of earth were required for the dyke. About two hundred workmen lost their lives during the work, chiefly through careless blasting.

The

London "Times" Insurance Against Loss of Work says: "A species of insurance against the material consequences of want of work is effected in England by many voluntary trade organizations. Switzerland is endeavoring to compass the same end by legislation. Optional insurance against loss of work is offered to its settled laboring classes by the municipality of Berne; Basle proposes to introduce an obligatory system shortly. Compulsion is already in force in the town of St. Gall, where the municipal council manages an industrial insurance fund. All male resident wage-earners in St. Gall whose average earnings do not exceed five francs daily are bound to join. Apprentices and laborers under age in receipt of less than two francs are exempt, while women may be allowed or required to join, according to circumstances. Persons already belonging to a voluntary insurance organiza

tion are relieved of the obligation to join. Relief is granted for only sixty days in any one year, and it is withheld altogether when the insured is without work owing to fault of his own (this includes strikes), and when, being able-bodied, he declines to accept work suited to his position and capacities when it is offered. Compliance with the law is understood to be not cheerful, but grudging. With a revenue from premiums that is small when compared

This can be done at small expense to the Government, and will be of inestimable benefit to fishermen, whalers, revenue cutters, and miners, particularly the latter, between Cook's Inlet and the Yukon. No outlay would be required except for the station buildings, as the animals are trained and the Laplanders only too glad to see each other.

FINANCIAL

with the calls made upon it, especially in win- AMERICAN FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

ter, the insurance fund has to rely upon an annual municipal grant. During the first six months' operation of the fund (July 1 to December 31, 1895) 3,430 persons were registered, of whom 1,678 were married men and 1,666 single. By June of the present year 4,200 persons had been insured."

Gold-Mining in British Guiana

Consul Patterson at Demerara, in the course of a report to the United States State Department on the gold industry of British Guiana, says that the output of gold has been diminishing since 1893, and the diminution has continued during the present year. This he attributed to the fact that the majority of paying claims have been worked out. He

says that if the expense of communication with the interior were reduced, and the heavy Government royalty of 90 cents an ounce abated, many of the creeks of the colony could be worked, as they all show "color." About 7,000 men are employed in mining by syndidates, and one of the most successful, produc

ing about 18,000 ounces in three years, is managed by an American. Prospecting costs about ten times as much as in the United States, a small party with four laborers in four months costing from $500 to $800. The possibilities of quartz-mining are still unknown, although the Consul reports seeing rich samples from Barima. He quotes local newspaper reports to show that one American company with a twenty-stamp mal in ten days crush 459 tons of mixed ore, clearing up 766 ounces of gold. Promising properties have lately been bought by English capitalists, and large developments in the gold industry are expected, in spite of the unsettled state of the Venezuela boundary question, and the fact that all the mines the Consul refers to are in the disputed country.

to this country to induce the transportation companies here to make more use of the canal. Mr. Stevens has issued a circular-letter setting forth the apparent advantage, at least, of shipping direct to Manchester instead of via Liverpool. He claims that with no reduction upon inland freight in America, and with an even sea rate, there will be an average saving on the whole New York cargo of 7c. per 100 pounds, or $1.56 per ton, in tavor of Manchester, and $1.17 per ton saving on the New Orleans cargo. He does not explain where this saving comes in, except to say that delivery by cart to destination is included in his figures, and that one week is allowed at the Manchester docks for the removal of freight from the quay sheds as compared with three days at Liverpool."

Alaskan Reindeer

The reindeer introduced into Alaska some years ago from Siberia are reported to be flourishing, the herd numbering exactly 1,200. Four hundred and fifty of these are at Port Clarence, where an increase of 132 is reported this season. The animals are prospering under the care of the Laplanders who went North under contract with the Government three years ago. The Superintendent of the Government station at Port Clarence is on his way to Washington to ask for another contract. He will also recommend a plan which, if carried into effect, will be of much benefit to the Northwest Territory. The plan, in brief, is to establish a number of reindeer relay stations to bring about communication with the extreme North; even Point Barrow, the northernmost settlement, to be included.

Jubilee Meeting of the American Missionary Association, Tremont Temple, Boston, October 20-22, 1896

The Fiftieth Anniversary of the American Missionary Association will be held in Boston, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, October 20-22, 1896. A large and enthusiastic meeting is confidently expected.

The new Tremont Temple, Park Street Church, and Faneuil Hall have been engaged for the meetings, and the list of speakers includes missionaries and prominent men and women in religious, literary, and official life.

It is proposed to make the meeting a celebration worthy of the completion of the Association's halfcentury of noble service in the cause of religion and education.

No city could have been more fitly selected for this great gathering than Boston. The spirit of the Association has from the first been in line with that of the distinctive principles which have been the glory of New England, and are the rich heritage of the entire Nation.

It is most appropriate that some of the meetings of this Jubilee should be held in Faneuil Hall, the Cradle of Liberty.

It is confidently expected that many will make this meeting the occasion of a visit to the sacred spots in and about Boston connected with the history of the struggle for religious and civil liberty, a part of which has been accomplished through the efforts of this Association.

ENTERTAINMENT

Hospitalities of the churches of Boston and vicinity will be extended to the officers of the Association and speakers; to all missionaries, pastors, theological students, life members, and accredited delegates who send their names to the Rev. C. H. Beale, Roxbury, Mass., before October 15.

It will be absolutely necessary that application be made at least a week in advance of the meeting in order to secure entertainment.

All other persons can obtain accommodations for $1.50 per day and upwards, at hotels and boardinghouses, concerning which information will be furnished by the Entertainment Committee.

Address general inquiries to the Rev. William E. Barton, D.D., Chairman of Committee of Arrangements, Tremont Street, corner of West Brookline, Boston.

Inquiries concerning entertainment should be addressed to the Rev. Charles H. Beale, D.D., Chairman Committee of Entertainment,33 Waverly Street, Roxbury, Mass.

TRANSPORTATION

The following railroads in New England, viz., Boston and Maine Railroad. Boston and Albany Railroad, Fitchburg Railroad, New England Railroad, New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad (both divisions), Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, Maine Central Railroad, Central Vermont Railroad, have arranged to sell round-trip tickets upon the following basis: two cents per mile from points within twenty-five miles of Boston, one dollar from points within twenty-five to thirty-three miles of Boston, and one and one-half cents per mile from points more than thirty-three miles from Boston. Tickets good going and returning, October 20 to 22, inclusive, with the understanding that the time in returning to distant points in New England which cannot be reached Thursday night will be extended one day.

Railroads offering reduced rates from territory outside of New England will make use of the "certificate plan," and are the principal roads included in the Central Traffic Association, the Western Passenger Association, the New England Passenger Association, and the Trunk Line Association.

Purchasers of these tickets will pay full first-class fare coming to Boston, and get a certificate to that effect from the agent of whom the ticket is purchased. The important stations are supplied with these certificates. Ticket agents at local stations, not supplied with certificates and through tickets to Boston, will inform parties of the nearest station where they can be obtained; and in such cases purchasers should buy a local ticket to such station, and there obtain their certificate and through ticket. These certificates must be obtained, covering the whole distance

from starting-point to Boston, in order to secure the one-third rate in returning, as no refund of fare will be made on account of any person failing to obtain one. Holders of these certificates, upon their arrival in Boston, must present them at an early session at the office of the Transportation Committee for indorsement by its Chairman, James G. Buttrick, and by the special agent of the railroads, in attendance for that purpose.

On presentation of these certificates (thus indorsed), promptly upon adjournment of meeting, to the local ticket agents in Boston, return tickets can be obtained for one-third of the usual fare. These tickets, which are not transferable, are good for a continuous passage over the same lines used in coming to Boston.

Wet Medicine vs. Dry Air.

Liquid remedies intended for use in the air passages should be avoided. The mucous membrane is too delicate for such treatment; besides, air is the only thing nature intended should enter the breathing organs. Did you ever get a drop of liquid in the windpipe? Nature instantly rebelled and threw it out. This proves that no liquids can enter the bronchial track, and that vapors, sprays, douches and atomizers are positively dangerous.

Common Colds vs. Hyomei.

In using BOOTH'S HYOMEI POCKET INHALER you breathe AIR impregnated with the aromatic, healing principle of "HYOMEI," and you break up a common cold over night. This is the famous Australian "DryAir" treatment of Asthma, Catarrh, Bronchitis, and all diseases of the nose, throat and lungs. It "CURES BY INHALATION."

[graphic]

Port Ewen, N. Y., Sept. 3, 1896.

I find Hyomei a preventative of colds, to which I am easily subject, and which are very stubborn. I have not had one since using Hyomei, which is an inexpressible relief, for they interfered sadly with my preaching.

(Rev.) B. C. LIPPINCOTT. Inglewood, Cal., Sept. 16, 1896. Will you please put Hyomei on sale in Los Angeles City? We cannot keep house without the remedy. A. J. COMPTON, M. D. 44 Main St., Greenfield, Mass.

I cannot say enough in praise of Booth's Hyomei Pocket Inhaler. I never have a cold now and I always had one before I used it. I had lost my voice so that I could not sing at all; but now I sing as well as I ever did.

(Miss) M. C. LANFAI.

Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home, Erie County, Ohio, Sept. 1, 1896. Soon after I commenced to use the Inhaler and Hyomei, my voice regained its natural tone; soreness in my throat very soon disappeared, and my hearing was improved to a degree that with gladness I discarded ear drums, and was never so happy as when I could again hear the conversation of my friends without the aid of artificial appliances. E. E. STEWART, Serg't Batallion A. San Diego, Cal., May 27, 1896. Your Pocket Inhaler has shown itself a record breaker in heading off and stopping colds this year. (Rev.) C. W. MAGGART.

Hyomei is a purely vegetable antiseptic, and destroys the germs which cause disease in the respiratory organs. The air, charged with Hyomei, is inhaled at the mouth, and, after premeating the minutest air-cells, is exhaled through the nose. It is aromatic, delightful to inhale, and gives immediate relief. It is highly recommended by physcians, clergymen, public speakers, and thousands who have been helped and cured.

Pocket Inhaler Outfit, Complete by Mail, $1.00, to any part of the United States; for foreign countries, add $1.00 postage; outfit consists of pocket inhaler, made of deodorized hard rubber, a bottle of Hyomei, a dropper, and full directions for using. If you are still skeptical, send your address; my pamphlet shall prove that Hyomei cures. Are you open to conviction? Extra bottles of Hyomei inhalant by mail, or at druggists, 50 cents. Hyomei Balm, for all skin diseases, by mail, 25 cents. Your druggist has Hyomei or can get it for you if you insist. Don't accept a substitute. London Office:
