Decided Improvement is Noted in Bus
iness During the Pest Two op Three
Months.
Pnemv
1^11 VIII ■ NEW YORK. Sept. 12,-No great
* # keenness of perception Is required to
observe that a decided improvement
in confidence has taken place during
the past two or three months. This
has been due, of course, partly to a
natural reaction from the extreme de
pression which ushered in the current
year, but mainly to an actual better
ment of conditions, chief of which is
the passing of any serious uncertainty
regarding the crops. It need cause no
disappointment that thus far the more
hopeful spirit recently developed has
not yet crystallised into an enlarged
volume of business. A change of feel
ing must always precede any change of
action; and there is every reason to
believe that in due time trade and in
dustry will experience a reasonable
revival. Impatience cannot hasten Its
coming, and there are still sufficient
adverse conditions to prevent any too
buoyant expectations.
Of ail factors in the situation much
the most important Is that we are now
gathering an abundant and profitable
harvest; not quite so abundant as at
one time expected, yet sufficiently so
to secure our agriculturists another
prosperous year. It makes one shrink
to think what might have happened
had this been a year of crop failures,
euceedlng the series of disaster* which
began in 11*02 and continued through
1903. The good harvests of the cur
rent year have not only snved the coun
try from a fresh outbreak of liquida
tion but have really gone a long way
towards restoring the country's
finances and Industries to a position of
norms! soundness and stability,
other year of profitable agriculture
should afford time and means for bet
ter taking care of the mnsa of indices
tlble securities created during the last
six or seven years. There Is still
great mass of indigestible! left, hut
these will no Iqnger be the menace they
once were. Some will be reorganized
ere long; some will settle down to their
Intrinsic value, and others will disap
pear from tho market entirely; thua
permitting a gradual instead of a
forced liquidation, aa well as a wider
and consequently leas aarloua distri
bution of loaaea. For all of these very
Important advantages we are Indebted,
aa already said, to a good harvest,
The most Important hindrance to fur<
ther recovery are the war, the labor sit
uation, the high level of commodity
prices and the less favorable tendency
of our foreign trade. Concerning th
war, tha extraordinary successes
Japan are unfortunntely not conduclv
, to early peace. Mediation may be at
tempted by aome power with n view of
stopping the awful waste of life and
wealth; but Russia Is laast likely to
think of peace while humiliated; and
not until the esar has accomplished
something towards a restoration
Russian prestige wifi peace proposals
he considered; especially as Japan
would probably impose harsher terms
after n great victory than when the
score was more even. At present,
therefore, the indications are that tho
war muit drag along for nn indefinite
period, and thus prove a disturbance
of more or leas consequence In the In
ternntlonal markets.
Tho struggle between capital and
labor fortunately shows some tendenrv
abate. Gradually, though only
through the school of bltt
xperlence, the Inbor leaders are
learning their cause Is on tho wj
Labor has extracted all it can get out
of the total product; tho limits of cost
patience have been
reached, and tho effort to secure .i
nonopoly of labor Is falling Just m
urely aa the failure to establish a mo-
nopoly of capital. The entire drift
conomlc tendencies la once more bar!
to the open shop, the open market ant
the open door, in which all shall have
more equal opportunities and mo.*e
equal protection under the law.
As for high commodity prices, the
tendency is downwards, except wh*»n
speculative operations Interfere, as In
the case of cotton and wheat. But
here, too, tha drift in the long run :s
away from the excessively high prices
which have prevailed. Ixtwer prlcei
are needed, not only to stimulate ox
ports, but to reduce coats of produc<
tion and lessen the coat of living.
Rpeculation la responsible for most of
the high prices of late, and a lower
level is not at all Incompatible with

Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Hayes’ First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Plnkliam for Help t
“Dear Mns. PnncsAX:—I have been under Boston doctors’treat
ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I havo a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and tho soreness extends
up my spine. I havo bearing-down pains both back and front. Sly ab-
'domen is swollen, and I havo had flowing spells for three years. Sly ap
petite is not good. I cannot walk or bo on my feet for any length of time.
“Tho symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice.”—(Signed) Sirs.
E. F. Hates, 252 Dudley St., (Koxbury) Boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine—which she knew would help her —
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring
about the happy result.
“Dear Slits. Pi.vkiiam: — Soipctime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, nnd I followed
all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.
“ The uso of Ly<I!a E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely
expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
miles now.
“Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or
female trouble of any kind to give It a faithful trial.”—(Signed) Sins.
E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Slass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony—or take
tho place of the health and Iinpplucss which Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vogetablo Compound brought to Mrs. Ilaycs.
Sucli testimony should bo accepted by all women as convincing
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all tho distressing ills of women; ail
ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis
placements of the womb; backache; irregular, supuressed or painful
menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let
ters wo are daily printing in tho newspapers can leave no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. I’inkham and Lydia E. Plnklmm’s Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that sho thinks no troublo is too
great for her to take In return for her health and happiness.
Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicino; don’t for
get this when somo druggist wants to sell you something else.

trade which we are accustomed to
watch so closely would have made a
much worae exhibit Our imports have
also been falling significantly because
of trade reaction here, causing an Im
portant shrinkage In national revenue
which cannot b* lightly Ignored. At
the present rate of lost in customs
there will be a deficit of 34h.000.000
or more If continued during the fiscal
year, or unless there la a decided cur-
tallment in national expenditures.
Facing a deficit now that the gold
standard Is sstabllshed is a much less
serious matter than when ws were
facing a silver crisis; but It Is worth
watching.
flpeculntlon lagged somewhat dur>
ing the week, pprtly owing to the hoi
(days, but there Is an undertone of
confidence which gains perceptibly each
week. This Is shown by the steady
absorption of bonds and better class
Investments. The improvement in
top-grade securities will Inevitably
extend to those lower down In the list,
and better grade railroad shares seem
destined for still higher prices. While
railroad earnings may not Immedi
ately surpess former records, the best
managed and best equipped roads are
In a position to effect Important econ
omies and thus maintain dtvtdenda.
Moreover. Increased trade activity
should result In at least a partial re
covery of recent looses; and this Is
what railroad managers evidently an
ticipate. Tha best Indication thus far
of business revival Is the August
clearings. For months past these fig
ures have ehosm declines of 14 to 15
per cent. Returns for August, how
ever. from 100 cities In the United
States showed a gain of over 1 per
cent., tho only districts not showing
an Improvement being the New Eng
land and middle states. The Western
and Southern states showed gains of
7 to 11 per cent. This Is certainly
cou raging.
