Do y1v WANT 70 STOP TOBACCO {
YOU CAN BE CURED WHILE USING IT.

The habit of using tobacco grows on a
man until grave diseased conditions are
produced. Tobacco causes cancer of the
mouth and stomach; dyspepsia; loss of
memory; nervous affections; congestion of
the retina; and wasting of the optic
nerve, resulting in impairment of vision,
even to the extent of blindness; dizziness
or vertigo; tobacco asthma; nightly sutfo-
cation; dull pain in the region of the
heart, followed later by sharp pains, pal
pitation and weakened pulse, result
ing in fatal heart disease. 1t also causes
loss of vitality.
QUIT BEFORE IT is TOO LATE.
To quit suddenly is too severe shock
to the system. as tobacco-to an inveter
ate user, becomes stimulant that his

BUSINESS is vNAI TING.

Ti'ne Of Uncertainty in the World of Trade
Cotton Speculation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-R. g. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade says: The rapid
recovery In cotton and the rise in sterling
exchange to the point at which the last
exports of gold were made have not in
creased confidence. There is a little bet.
ter demand for most manufactured pro.
ducts, real distribution is fairly encourage
ing, and the closing of many works is less
significant ut this season than it might be
Mt others. IL is time of waiting and un-
certainty may naturally continue for some
weeks.
Cotton speculation turns for the mo
mcnt on the disposition of holders to keep
back their cotton, which may compel
higher prices, some say, however large
the ultimate supply may be. Receipts are
mt present very small compared with last
year, and it is stated that the banks here
have more money loaned on cotton, to
enable holders to keep it without market
ing, than ever before. Exports and tax
ings OF spinucrs arc small, and stocks
abroad and here so large that consumers
may be hetter al,le- to wait than borrowers
from banks.
Wheat has declined 13I cents and corn
ga cents in spite Of many adverse reports
about winter wheat. The present large
shipments from other countries and the
small Atlantic exports affect opinion moro
directly than ideas about next years yield
Very large estimates of the corn crop have
depressed prices, although exports have
been in five weeks 12,2l2, S2i bushels
against 4, Ss3,ti last year, fact which has
its weight in the wheat market also. Pork
and lard arc not much changed, though
hog receipts and packing are heavy
The larger demand for II anufactured
products has held prices of cotton goods
and even advanced some prints Moro
activity is also seen in iron and steel
products, though Besscmer and gray
forge, bllcts and plates, are little lower.

has failed to arouse any apparent enthusi-

brought into the room and bid goodbye
He then bade his wife and friends at his
bedside goodbye and relapscd into a semi
conscious state, continuing thus until just
before the end.
