Life nnd the LiYer.

"Success in life depends upon the liver"
is the way Chas. Lamb, the poet and punster,
put it. Medical science has proven, that
nine-tenths of the ailments Of living have
their origin in the liver, and in constipation
caused by its arrangements. Keep the liver
lively and all will be we'll. Modern science
points out Cascarets as the only perfect,
gentle, positive liver regulator fit to be used
in the delicate human organism. All drug.

ommend them most heartily.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. November 9.-The market
was very active and closed decidedly II
regular during the morning session on
the stock exchange, and at one time the
list took on quite uniform evidences cf
strength and even buoyancy. But
at 1890 o'clock the demand for sccuci-
ties seemed satisfied and the market
fell into dulness and somewhat reac-
tionary tendency which persisted to the
close London, in spite OF dullness an |
heaviness of the general market there,
had confidently marked up prices of
Americans yesterday and to-day while
the New York stock exchange was not
in session. The British Interpretation
and understanding of the American
elections, always more or less obscure
and confused, prompted them to this.
The opening here did not fully respond
prices showing below the London parity
The international arbitrage brokers seiz-
ed this opportunity to cover sales made
at higher level in London. With the
cessation of the London buying about
noon and with a renewed break in SUI
gar which had proved heavy load to
carry all morning, prices began to
drop off, the decline in the railroads
ranging all the way from fraction to
1hc.

New York, November 9.-Interest in
elections interfered with spot business.
and store trade in all directions was in
different in dry goods. The mail orders
demand was considerable for a general
variety of cotton merchandise. Western
and Southern business was prominent.
The general bone of the market showed
no change, and no further alterations
in price was reported in either staple
or fancy goods.
COTTON.
New York, November Depreciation
in cotton was more active to-day. Dur
ing yesterdays holiday the Liverpool
market had advanced about 2 points, but
this mornings cables showed partial
reactions from this Improvement. To
conform to the net Liverpool gain, how
ever, our market opened at an adj
vance of 204 points, but Immediately
turned easy, being unfavorably effected
by the colossal movement of cotton. In
the early afternoon the market began
to harden on buying by the South, sup
plemented by Liverpool buying orders, in
good part for covering short accounts
New Orleans buying orders in the after
noon were especially heavy. Local shorts
became nervous and sharp rally of six
points followed. The market had the
appearance of receiving considerable
support from investment buying orders,
and speculation at large also showed
a broadening tendency The fact that
a cold wave was predicted for tonight
had less effect on the local market
than the assumption that New Orleans
parties had heavily oversoId themselves
The market was finally very steady at Il
net advance of 4dl6 points.

was generally steady and at net gains
which reached a point in some cases.
The bond market continued active
