satisfactory crop reports which had been
received. Advantage was taken of The

squeeze. The buying of New York Central

Pacific preferred was also bid up in sympa
thy Rock Island March earnings will show
but slight decrease. The country roads
throughout the west are in very bad condi-
ton and farmers are unable to do hauling.
Buying OF Manhattan was accompanied by
statement that the deal with the Third
Avenue is preliminary to further deals
which may result in closer traffic arrange
ments with Brooklyn Rapid Transit at the
bridge, and with some of the metropolitan
lines. Tobacco was strong on acquisition
of Reynolds company and Rubber advanc-

Financial

New York, April 5-The Commercial Adj
yertiser's London financial cablegram says:
The markets here were idle and are expect
ed to continue slack all week. Americans
opened dullish and were stagnant until
New York bought Wabash and the coalers.
The rest were neglected.
Tintos were 41al@41 7-16 on a fail of 10

Utahs, 9B.
Gold in bars to the amount OF SOS, 900 was
bought by the bank which is still buying.
Money was hard. The bank loans have
been mostly repaid, causing a scarcity OF
money in the market. Silver was dull on
the French mint tender, which has been
completed. American was inclined to sell.

COTTON MARKET ::

FEATURE OF OPERATIONS

New York, April 5.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of 1@2 points,
but for the rest of the forenoon and great
er part of the afternoon showed insignifi-
cant further variations, with business of an
evening character and small at that.
Whether of bullish or bearish purport,
news from abroad and the south failed sig
nally to appreciaby influence sentiment,
which In the main, was favorable to con-
traction rather than a broadening of ven
lures. The feature of operations was the
buying of May and August contracts by
Liverpool and continental representatives
who subsequently sold the new crop.
Scalpers were Indifferent and took prac-
tically no part in the days doings in the
pit. The closing was quiet and steady,
with prices 1 point higher to points net
lower. Considering our softness of yester-
day initial English news was of marked
bullish tenor, but as a counterbalance to
this factor were reports from southern spot
markets to the effect that offerings were
quite urgent even at shade lower prices
with demand meagre except for high grade
staples. The weather was about stand
off.

FREE TO MILLIONS OF
SUFFERERS.
The New Cure for Kidney, Bladder
and Uric Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
Root, the great Kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the EN-.
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DIR.
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is irresponsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root, and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond
help, can be made we'll by the use OF
this great remedy.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonial letters
received from men and wome who owe
their good health, in fact. their very
lives, to the wonderful curative proper
ties of Swamp-Root. Be sure and men,
ton this paper when sending your ad-
dress to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
n. Y.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one
dollar size bottles at drug-stores.
