REVIEW OF THE WEEK'S MARKETS. 
□ The grain market was very dull Monday. Theex- 
port demand was light, and no Influences seemed 
to be at work to liven up the market. There was, 
also, a scarcity of ocean freight room, which 
curtailed the buying for export considerably. 
The market has continued dull throughout the 
week, especially on wheat, and in general, re¬ 
ceipts of grain have been lighter with the excep¬ 
tion of wheat. Towards the end of the week, re¬ 
ceipts of the latter were larger, although prices 
closed slightly higher than one week ago. Re¬ 
ceipts of corn are lighter, also of oats, and the 
price of the latter has advanced somewhat. Rye 
is dull, also, and barley shows little change. Re¬ 
ceipts of beans have been f airly good, there is a 
good demand, and the market 'is firm with prices 
advancing. There has been considerable export 
demand for Red Kidneyp, and this gives them 
more firmness, though the price is no higher. 
In the poultry market, receipts of dressed 
poultry have been very heavy, and as next week 
is the Thanksgiving market, and receipts are 
likely to be still heavier, it is probable that prices 
will go down with a slump. Turkeys are plenti¬ 
ful, and from reports received, it is probable that 
the supply will be ample for all requirements; 
but there is never a surplus of really choice 
stock. Prices on all lines are low now, and the 
probability is that the coming week will see 
immense quantities going into cold storage. The 
demand for live poultry is moderate, but prices 
are so low that it helps out the market consider¬ 
ably. Fresh gathered eggs are very scarce, and 
the price is good. There is a plentiful supply of 
all other grades, and the market is very quiet. 
Receipts of apples have been liberal, but the 
demand is good, so that prices have been keeping 
well up, the highest grades showing the most 
strength. Pears are very uncertain quantities 
these days, as the quality and value vary greatly. 
There is a moderate demand for the best grades. 
Grapes are dull, and the lower qualities move 
very slowly. Cranberries are in active demand, 
and the price keeps going up. The market for 
evaporated fruits is quiet, showing little change. 
Evaporated and sun-dried apples are in light 
supply, and holders have considerable confi¬ 
dence. 
Receipts of butter have been moderate, and the 
feeling is good for fancy creamery. Old butter, 
which has been accumulating, is hard to sell, 
and the price is very disappointing. There is 
only a moderate demand for State dairy when of 
desirable quality. Receipts of cheese have shown 
considerable poor quality, and the market is 
weak. There is some export demand, but much 
of the offerings is not of the required grade. 
Receipts of potatoes are moderate, and the 
market is firm. Sweet potatoes, also, are in 
light supply, especially those from Jersey, al¬ 
though the Virginia crop is arriving quite freely, 
and the quality is very irregular. Host other 
winter vegetables, excepting celery, are in fair 
supply, and the best qualities are selling readily 
at good prices. Vegetables from the South are 
not over plentiful. It is reported that the yield of 
the French potato crop this year is estimated at 
11,000,000 tons against 13,250,000 tons last year, 
and an average of 12,000,000 tons, so that the crop 
seems to be short there, although not so much 
below the average as in this country.

A Child’s Recovery 
FROM PARALYSIS AND SIX YEARS OF CONVULSIONS. 
Little Fannie Adams, of Umatilla, Cured of a Dreadful Malady—A Cure 
of Unusual Interest—A Reporter Investigates. 
From the Lake Region , Eustls , Fla. 
For some time past the Lake Region has been 
receiving reports from Umatilla, Fla., of an 
almost miraculous cure that had been effected 
in the case of Fannie Adams, a daughter of A. J. 
Adams, of that place, and last Saturday a repre¬ 
sentative of this paper made a trip to Umatilla 
for the purpose of determining the authenticity 
of the same. 
The family live a short distance from the vil¬ 
lage, where it was found that the people were 
cognizant of the cure which had been effected, 
and were rejoicing with the family in their new 
found happiness. The father, A. J. Adams, is a 
hard-working, honest farmer from eastTennessee, 
and the family came to Florida four years ago in 
the hope that a change of climate would be of 
benefit to their afflicted child. Much of their 
earnings have gone for doctors’ bills, whose ser¬ 
vices proved unavailing. The representative 
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he 
gained the story of her great trial. 
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in east 
Tennessee, and was seven years old on the third 
day of February, 1897. When ten months old she 
was stricken with paralysis, which affected the 
entire left side. This stroke of paralysis was 
followed by convulsions, and from the time little 
Fannie was ten months old until February, 1897, 
there was not a single day or a night that she 
did not have spasms of the most distressing 
nature. Not a single convulsion, but always 
three or four, and sometimes as high as ten in 
one day. 
The family was all broken down with care, 
and Mrs. Adams states that for one year she did 
not go into her kitchen to superintend her house¬ 
hold work. All the fingers of the right hand of 
the little girl are enlarged and misshapen, caused 
by her biting them during the fearful suffering. 
The case baffled the skill of the best physicians, 
and they were frank to say that they could not 
determine the cause, or prescribe a remedy to 
aid the afflicted child. 
But what a change now in that household; for 
little Fannie has recently been released from her 
six years of agony, which .brings the light of 
happiness to the faces of the parents. 
In January, this year, Mrs. Adams, who had 
purchased some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for 
Pale People for her fonrteen-year-old daughter, 
determined to try their effect upon little Fannie. 
After three or four doses, she noted an improve¬ 
ment and she then told the father what she had 
done. He at once went to the village and bought 
another box, and up to this time six boxes have 
been used. The first pills, Mrs. Adams states, 
were given in January, the latter part, and cer¬ 
tainly not earlier than the fifteenth or twentieth, 
and the child had her last convulsion on February 
3d, nearly three months ago. Her general con¬ 
dition has improved in every way, and it was not 
a month after the first pills were taken when she 
began to walk without assistance. 
The pills were bought at the drug store of Dr. 
Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to the question, 
did he, to his personal knowledge, know that the 
remedy had benefited Fannie Adams, as was 
stated by her parents, the doctor said that he was 
a regular practicing physician, and as such was 
loath to recommend any proprietary medicine, 
but still he was ready to do justice to all men, 
and he did know that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills 
for Pale People had benefited Fannie Adams, 
and also volunteered the information that he 
knew of other children in the village who had 
been benefited by their use. 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are 
sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on 
receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for 
$3.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 
100), by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.,

Does the advantage of getting more cream out of your milk 
than by any other means count for anything with you? 
Does the advantage of better butter quality count for any¬ 
thing? Does an increase of is per cent, more butter mean 
anything to you ? If so, you should investigate the

1 here is not a better separator in the world than 
this. Dairymen who have tried several and con¬ 
ducted comparative tests, say there are none so 
good. It is a fact that the Improved United

pletely, and does it quicker and at less cost than 
any other. It runs easily, operates easily and 
cleans easily, isn’t it to your interest to learn all
