t Selling the Corn Crop. | The last Treasury report on the exportation of breadstuffs shows an export of corn during September, 1895, of 5,569,000 bushels, as against an export of 433,000 busheis during September, 1894. The ex- port of corn for the three months ending September, 1895, was 14,- 122,000 bushels as against 2,177,000 for the same period in 1891 There | is strong foreign demand Besides the amount exported, there is a crop of 2,060,000,000 in| the United States, according to late reports of the Department of Agri- culture. This crop coimes close to being the largest ever raised in the! United States. | The large proportion of the corn crop already exported, and the| greater amount which will probably | follow, will help very materially to | ward bringing the balance of trade! > round in favor of the United States, | and keeping the gold reserve intact | until Congressional legislation can | supply a means to keep it up perma-| nently. | The West is the region which will| reap the greatest benefit from the corn situation.—St. Louis Chroricie.

No pen can de- scribe my suffe: ings, particularly during the last months of those four weary years. DR. J. H. WATTS, I finally tried Dr.* Miles’ New Heart « Cure, and was surprised at the result. It put new life into and made a new man of me. I have not had a symptom of trouble since and I am satisfied your medicine has cured me for Lhave now enjoyed, since taking it Three Years of Splendid Health. I might add that I am a druggist and have sold and recommended your Heart Cure, for Iknow whatit has done for me and only wish I could state more clearly my suffer- ing then and the good health I now enjoy. Your Nervine and other remedies also give excellent satisfaction.” J.H. Warts. Humboldt, Neb., May 9, "94. Dr. Miles Heart Cure is sold on a itive ntee that the first bottle will benefit.

Mr. Townsend of the Hong Kong bank confi ms this view, and reports in an in- terview that the bank is about tomake alarge shipment of silver to Japan.
