NEW YORK, Dec. S.-R. G. Pun & Co.'s weekly rvie;v of trade tomorrow will say: The approach of a new year usually brings so much hetiranry in business that the small shrinkage this year is surprising. Probibly never before have the productive forces of th country been so largely covered by contracts at this date, irsurir.g empionent and pmfi; far into the coming year. This results, not from any mere speculative excitement, but from actual demands for consumption running fnr beyond the producing capacity here after and pushing it to remarkable ex pariHion. Th.- increase in our foreign trade has been insignificant compared wtth the increase of 24 billion in payments through the clearing houww. For the week the payments have tx-en 20.3 per tvrt larger than list year and 38.1 per cent larger than in 1S92. The failures for the wef-k have been 221 in the United States, agains: 24S in the last year, and 33 In Canada, affainst IC in th ltut -ear. TO REVIVE VICE ADMIRAL.

Her general health suffers and she loses ln-r good looks, her attractiveness, h-r amia bility and ber power and prebtie as a woman. Dr. R V. 1'ierce, of Buffalo.
