Of 10 o points Liverpool Is steady; de-
mand fair futures up 10 ? points, closing
steady. The New York spot market closed
firm, with futures advanced 10 II points,
closing firm.
Hubbard, Price & Co. say; "a rather nm.
expected better market in Liverpool gave us
firm and higher opening, and the iiIst sales
were made at an advance Of 20 points
above last nights close. The room scalpers
bough, freely TO liquidatc their short en-
gagcments, and when current estimates be-
como known the buying became more gen
oral and vigorous With limited offerings
prices advanced 0 points for the old and 4
points for the new crop closing at the best
prices Of the day"
The port receipts today were bisi bales
greater than on the previous day last year
The Liverpool Post 81 April 10 says "As
TO thc'position Of cotton, Il IA one Of cxcep'
tional soundness. The American crop may
reach 0,oOoOOO bales, but II will all be want
ed except prices advance nm luly, especially
as there Is no longer any doubt that the sea
sons supply from India will fall 10000
possibly 100000 bales behind that Of last
season. The fact that spinnens have this
week taken 1900 bales out Of this market Il
proof that they are not oyerburdencd with
stock. while the circumstance that the OK
port has reached 1900 bales il an indication
that continental consumers are not over
whelmed with the article"

In Brief, And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful thinge in existence. 1t is east
ly put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits. and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people SO healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist
for bottle Seventy-fye cents.

Said a gentleman; II read a squib the
other day in which the writer deplores the
practice Of one smoker stopping another on
the street and asking for light. Until had
perused that little witticism l would go up to
the first smoker met and without the slight
est qualms of conscience ask for "a little fire.
But since then when necessity-that is, want
Of matches-compels me to approach brother
smoker, feel like criminal. As for going
into a cigar store for a flame, would rather
perish. Abroad it is totally different. Each
smoker considers it his right to enter cigar
store and light the cigar he has bought some
where else. The cigar men who do not wish
their places entered suspend lighter on the
outside of the store. Why should we not
adopt this omP'-Philadelph Call.

Euston station, in London, England, is
lighted by a new light which is believed TO
possess many advantages. Ordinary coal
gas, mixed in about the proportion of
one to eight of common air, is supplied
under the usual gas service pressure to burn
ers over which are placed caps Of platinum
wire gauze. The mixture, when lighted,
burns without fame around the cap, which is
raised to brilliant white heat by the COM
bustion. The light is perfectly steady, there
being no fame, and is not affected by wind
or rain. More than twice as much light, it
is said, Is obtained, with given consump
ton of gas, as by the old system. Twenty
burners replace fifty of the old kind, and
