of malice in his make-up.\t, This is the artist\u2019s ideal.In reality, Cupid in these days is a matter-of-fact little PLwchap.He i9 |^T beginning to learn that life is not all a summer holi-¦ day.He is fast / * learning that v .\tsick men and -X») «î\tunhealthy wom- en have no right to tamper with love or matrimony.It is best for themselves and best for the human race that they should not.It is not a hard matter for men and women to preserve their bcaUh if the> wish.It is far from impossible for them to restore it after it has been lost.That being the case, the modem Cupid is right in lookiug with disfavor upon matrimonial matches between s:ck men and unhealthy women.Ill health in a woman is generally the result of some weakness or disorder of the distinctly feminine organism that is slowly sapping her vitality._ At lirsi, little pain and slight indispositions which seem to her quite unimportant They grow steadily worse until she suffers all the time from burning and dragging sensations, ana occasionally has to take to her bed.Fin allv they completely unfit her for wifehood and motherhood.Dr.Pierce s Favorite Prescription is an unfailing remedy for an ments of this kind.It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in maternity and makes them well ai.d strong It transforms weak, sickly, net\\-ous invalids into healthy, happy wives and mothers.Medicine dealers sell it.Quickcure for Toothache, 15c.» 25c., 60o.Notes and News.Business Troubles.MR.WM.A.TOZER ASSIGNS.Statement of the DombrooH Estate.Mr.Wm.A.Tozer has decided to assign his estate and Mr.1>.Arcand haa been appointed provisional guardian.Mr.Adolphe Dombrowski, who is interested in some of the same paper, and whose assignment has been already announced in the Chronicle, boa filed a statement of hit affairs.The liabih ties are $22,556.The asset» are $15,OCX).The principal creditor* in Quebec are Chari A.Parent, $279,00 ;

Toronto, $8,672,004, an increase of 21.7 per cent ; Winnipeg, $2,268,965, an increase of 50.8 per cent ; Halifax $1,186,085, a decrease of 28 0 per cent ; Hamilton, $752,433, an in* crease of 14.1 per cent ; St John, $633,641, an increase of 13.8 per cent.Bradstreet\u2019s Report, New York, May 13\u2014Bradstreet\u2019s to-morrow will say :\u2014\u201cThe business situation gains rather than loses in attractiveness as the spring season advances.While, of course, the very favorable situation in cjreals is still the mainspring of tbe improvement, manifesting itself in many sections of the country, there are other causes combining therewith to make the outlook for business for the current year a flattering one.Following the rapid advances in prices of wheat, which apparently culminated for the time being early in the current week in a quotation for cash wheat, unequalled with one single exception, and that only for a very short period of time for twenty-five years past, there has oqme a lull and a reaction from tbe abnormally high prices caused by the squeeze in May, which, however, has left prioee far above quotations for at least ten years back.Telegraphic and cable advices to Bradstreet\u2019s only accentuate the already well-known bullish nature of the immediate wheat situation, while on the other hand, owing to the generally admitted good crop situation, particuarly in this and other countries, the outlook appears to favor somewhat lower prices than those bow ruling for next season\u2019s yield.An analysis of the wheat movement in this country and Canada seems to bear oat the correctness of maximum estimates of yield while definitely discrediting Govern mens estimates.Canadian trade is good, more particularly is this the case in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.Toronto reports trade expanding.Import and export trade alika shows gams.Light summer goods are active and more is doing in fall goods and wool is oom ing forward slowly but leather is higher.Crop prospects in Ontario and Winnipeg are ex cellent and a large yield, particularly of wheat, is looked for, the prospect being that all records in this respect will be broken.There is some demand for chemicals from tbe United States, but business in those classes as contraband of war, is, of course, not active.Cold and wet weather checked business in spring goods at Montreal daring a portion of the week.Groceries and boots and shoes are active.Failures in the Dominion of Canada this week number 25, against 22 last week ; 31 in the week a year ago and 34 in 1896.\u201d K.«.Daam ACa/s Weakly Review.New York, May 13\u2014R.C.Dunn A Co\u2019s, weekly review of trade to-morrow will say :\u2014 \u201cHostilities has lasted long anough to kill many predictions, if but few Americans.The Europ ean notion that the United States would begin by having a bad half hour, the theorists notion \u2018that everybody knows a great panic must follow the outbreak of war,\u2019 the commercial buyers notion that everbody would be read* to sell everything cheap if war came, the nonon that it would pay to hoard money until tbe emergency had passed have all been made laughable already.The only panic was when money lenders were wondering what deadly imposaibllies the unknown might have in store for them.Tbe only hindrance of industry has been due to waiting of buyers who looked for lower prices.Nothing disheartening can bi seen in the industrial situation except the closing of some cotton mills, owing to over produc* tion.The demand for boots and shoeshaving passed all records in recent months has abated and yet many orders are coming forward and just at the point where there is a general change from one season to another.Leather is rising with no active demsnd and hides at Chicago have advanced about 4 per cent, in spite of the fact that cattle slaughtered at the four chief western markets this year to May I were 1,073,-945 head, against 1,< 25.391 last year and considerably more than in other years, except 1893 and 1894.B\u201cssemor pig iron 10c.higher at Pittsburg with other quotations th*re, at Chicago [and at Philadelphia practically un changed.Government orders are heavy and yet cover but little of the consumption, though they go far to cause the overcrowding of ahip-ynrds £and plate mills, but higher prices for wheat Itave brought an enormous demand for agricultural implements and also for locomo tivesand cars, while very many buildings in western towns and orders for mxny railway and other bridges for canal improvements at Chicago and for 25,000 tons of »te»-l rails at the east make up a heavy volume.Money ia easier since the policy of contraction has ceased and only $1,700,000 went^to the interior during the week, while the new loans of the chief banks averaged 45 per cent of the total to commercial interests agamat 23 one week and 15 per cent two weeks ago, with rates much lower than wera quite recently refused.The Government is paying gold oyer the counter, largely because it needs notes more than coin, and $7,C00,0' 0 in gold has been ordered during the week, $2,5'K),' 000 from Australia, making $7,816,350 orders, of which $11,000,000 has yet to come.Failures for the first week of May have been $2,978,980, against $3,99 ),894 last year and $4,138 271 in 1898 ; manufacturing $1,411,275 against $1,949, 5*26 last year and trading $1,472,727, against $1,289,858 last year.Failures for the week have been 246 in the United States, against 264 last year and 24 in Canada, against 31 last year.A(> Toronto trade in groceries is fairly active, with hardware in good demand and metals, leathers and chemicals moving freely.The crop outlook is bright.At Victoria the wholesale dry goods trade is fair and in groceries trade is steady with aver age collections, country trade is very quiet and accounts are somewhat overdue, especially in clothing and dry goods.Retail business is quite satisfactory owing to fine weather, but outfitting lines are dormant.At Vancouver trade continues good in all branches and collections are satisfactory.Business in oatfitting miners for the Klondyke is steady but with no rush.\u201d Heat real Sleek Market.Montreal, May 13\u2014It would not take much to send the Montreal Stock Market np or down, especially down.The market has worked itself into a condition where reaction is almost certain unless there is some new and very favorable development» in the war between Spain and the United States.The Canadian Pasific continues strong, being placed to-day at 6S£.The shares sold on the local Exchange this morning amounted In all to only 1,000.Of these 350 were Canadian Pacific and 375 Toronto Street.The former was placed at 834 to 83|, closing at 83f and the latter at 954, closing at 95^.The buying of both stocks was much scattered and small amounts.Gas sold at 185 to 184 for 125 shares.Montreal Street was bought at 253, Cable at 174 and Dominion Coal Kef erred at 105.Tbe earnings yesterday of ontreal Street were $3,774.92, an increase of $12.49 compared with the same day last year.On Wednesday the earnings of Toronto Street were $3,301.93, an increase of $637.16, a most excellent showing.Cable message* from London quo'e Canadian] Pacific at 864, Grand Trunk\u2019s first preference at 684.thirds 23 and Hudsons Bay at 214.The Bank of Montreal\u2019s annual statement for the year ended 30th April, 1898, is the best showing made by the bank for the past three years, compared with the year coded April, 1897, the pronti are nearly $35,000 greater.The balance of profits carried forward is increased by $66,(00.The notes of the bink in circulation show an increase of $1,000,100.There is decrease of about $t,000,000 in the Dominion and Provincial Government securities held by the bank.The rise in price, no doubt, permitted of their sale at a good profit Current loans and discounts show a large increase compared with the previous statement.The Clear ir g House statement for the week ended yesterday shows an increase of $1,934,534 in the clearings and an increase of $314,715 in the balances as compared with the same week last year.tKANSAOTIONS.sales, Canadian Pacific Railway, 83j to 83 50 shares at 83J ;
