JrVEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE CONDITIONS Condition of the Markets as Told In Pun's Weekly Review of Trade and Finance. The Week. Both in business confidence and in volume of business transactions the situation continues to improve. The gain Is very gradual and conservative, and there is little disposition to go be yond satisfaction of immediate wants ?but It Is a gain; and the significant thing Is that this improvement has now been maintained for several weeks. The cessation of disturbing international difficulties, the easier conditions of the international money markets, the growing conviction that domestic economic problems are shap ing; themselves for the better, and the pressing need of doing something to replenish depleted stocks, uii contrib-j ute to the improvement which is b( - Ing achieved. Purchasing of cotton goods of the heavier and coarser description for the manufacturing trades has steadied prices during the week. Print cloths are selling more freely and wide cloths are from 1-lti to 1-8 cent higher. Fall River sold 200,000 pieces last week and over 2T>0,000 pieces this week. Large sales of blue denims have been made and jobbers report a fair busi liess on colored domestics. Prints are being bought steadily, ducks are well sold up and underwear and hosiery for fa!l Is firmer. Shipments on old or ders to China are being made regu larly, but new business is slow. Mis cellaneous export trade, however, is Stendy, and for the year to date ship Ji!* tits of domestics exceed last year by over $5,000,000. Dress goods and men's wear mills are in a better posi tion as to orders and are cleaning up stocks very rapidly. The yarn mar kets are steadier, a fairly broad move ment of merchandise being shown, and in the New England wool market transfers aggregate ;',,000,000 or 4, Oi 1 000 pounds for the week and pric es tend higher. The Cotton Market. Nothing has occurred to break the llock in the cotton market, prices still backing and filling in monoton Olli fashion. One day quotations move up a little and then fall back again Cl iso to the familiar basis of 9cu with trading on a very meagre scale. A prise was furnished by the appear an e of the Census ginning figures on Tuesday, showing it total 'if some 230, bales below the popu nr estimate: , yet there was only a feeble response ? I lie official statement and the ad vance was quickly wiped out by ag gresRlvo selling. The 1 1,2G9,!)8fi bales g] tied up to November I I are nearly I," "limit bales above the previous high r< >rd established In 1904, when the Cl ip turned out to bo 13,654,000 bales. Hence, no one questions but that the [??is nt yield will easily be of unpre cedented size, although some people now insist that forecasts of 15,000, 000 bales or over will not be realized. 1: is the price rather than the prob * able size of the crop, however, that Is baffling many of the shrewdest mem bers of the trade, and there is a gen eral disposition to await some devel opment that will sway the market defi nitely in one direction or the other.

"At last, I was almost bed-ridden, and had to give up. We had three doctors. All the time, I was getting worse. I had bad spells, that lasted from 7 to 28 days. In one week, after I gave Cardui a trial, I could, cat, sleep, and joke, as well as anybody. In 8 weeks, I was well. I had been an invalid for 5 weary years 1 Cardui relieved me, when everything else failed."
