UNION AND AMERICAN OFFICE,
FRIDAY, Nov. Is.
COTTON.
The cotton market, since the opening Of
the present season, has been almost con-
tinously devoid ofexcitement or animation.
The monotony was somewhat relieved to-
day. There was an important rise in
prices and transactions were livelier and
heavier than usual. The market was re-
ported to the Exchange at A. NJ. steady
at previous quotations, viz: Ordinay, lie;
good ordinary, 12sc; low middling, 1876;
middling, 1899, and good middling, 1870.
At noon it was reported firm at 114c for
ordinary, 12sc for good ordinary, 1896 for
low middling, 13ac for middling and 1870
for good middling. At the close it was
firm at the following quotations

The Effects of Dosing.

Many persons, who are wanting in natural
vigor, endeavor to supply the deficiency by con-
stantly dosing themselves with drugs (often of
very pernicious nature,) which, they are eredu-
lous enough to mistake for invigorants. There
can be no doubt that many lives are shortened
in this way. All that such persons require Is
pure vegetable tonic which, like HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, also possesses the regulating
properties necessary to rectify those organic
disturbances which are but the result Of weak
ness. The feeble and the nervous cannot be too
earnestly advised to abandon the dangerous
practice of swallowing mineral TONES, soda
tives, and vegetable alkaloids, which disorder
the stomach and produce the most hurtful re
actions, and TO substitute, in their place, this
standard strengthening cordial and corrective
of the numerous disorders proceeding from de
bility OF the nervous system, as well rs OF the
stomach, liver and bowels.
