 Birming gfram. Ala. Sept. B.-Ihe early dealings in the stock market indicated tnat the more urgent liquidation. induced by the financial stringency, had about been completed. and prices were much firmer than they have been since the pub bca,tion of the bank statement on -Satur- day. London was also a favorable factor in the market, both furnishing higher range of prices and being a buyer or stocks here There was practically no news overnight to engage attention. but seem- .ngly there was a much more hopeful view taken of the probable immediate future Tn the money market. Tennessee Coal ana Iron was again a conspicuous feature in the market, in a further sharp advance which was subsequently, shaded. Iough the stock ruled above it's closing figures of yesterday. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was active and weak on continuation of the lfouidation that has been present In that stock for some time. The remainder of fne market was only fairly active, and, Tn the main was steady.

GAINS IN THE
 COTTON MARKET
Weather News Was Adverse to
 Good Crop Prospects.
INFLUX OF BUYING ORDERS
Shorts Became Uneasy and Their Ner- vousness Finally Grew Into Posi- tive Fright Close Steady at
 Net Advance.

New York, Sept. 13.-A successful effort vas made in today's market to regain tho ground lost yesterday. Though the Eng fish cables were distinctly favorable, the ctep news was of strong bullish average, the weather news averSe to good crop pro- gress, and spot cotton an1 cloth markets continued active to firm.
 The dominating influence was an infirx of buying orders from the south, mainly New Orleans. The market opened steady ia tone at an advance of 36l4 points, following the lead of Liverpool, but lost most of the improvement and lapsed into a state of leuhargy. Near midday, however, shorts became uneasy, owing to the app aaranoe of buying orders from Wall street houses which had helped the heavy sellers yester- day. Nervousness subsequently, grew to positive fright, southern interests having come into possession of heavy buying ders, while bulls became confident and even aggressive opera tors.
 prices moved up Sdl5 points from the clos ing figures of last night The market WIS finally steady at 1lf1S points higher. Specu- lation, which in the afternoon had been so meagre, broadened into general activity in which outside investors ligur,d conspioi- ousiy.

The readers of this paper will be

one dreaded disease that science has
been abl- to cure in all it's stages. and
that is Catarrh. IIall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. 1Ialrs Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
Str0ying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The

CLEAN OUT THE STREAMS,

Landowners should not over
look or neglect the fact that they
are required, by recent statute,
to remove, during the month OF
August, from the streams flow
ing through their lands all "trash,
trees, RATS and timber" Those
neglecting to comply with this
law are liable TO a fine of not less
than $5 nor more than $50; or
Imprisonment for not less than
10 days nor more than 80.
Any individual who may see
proper to do so, has the right to
proceed against landowners who
fail to comply with the statute
above referred to, and to clean
out the streams that run through
the lands Of such persons, and
IilSh W CoilSCI llIS hcCcSSdIS eA
pense out of the land.
This is a wise law. and its
observance would prevent much
Of the overflow of the streams
and the consequent washing of
the lands and damage to the
crops, not only by the water from
the overflow Of the streams, but
by the timbers. brush and RATS
that are borne down the streams
and over the low lands by the
water. A better time than
August could not have been fixed
for this work. Besides being a
leisure time with landowners gen
orally, the streams are low. and
the work OF removing the pre-
scribed distractions to the water
is easier done than at almost anv
other month of the year. If it is
necessary to get into the water to
remove the distractions (and in
many cases it will be- it will be
less dangerous to health than at
any otker season of the year.

Lesson of the Lark.

The future of Mississippi was never

county in the commonwealth comes
the glad tidings of industrial develop
ment and material progress. More
than year ago the fable of the old
farmer and the lark was told in these
dispatches to point a moral 1t was
shown that as long as the farmer de-
pended upon his neighbors to come and
help him garner his wheat the old lark.
who had her brood in the field, felt no
concern. But when her young told
her, after the second disappointment
of his neighbors, that they had heard
the old farmer tell his boys that on
the morrow they would reap their
own wheat, the old lark told her young
that they would move before sun up,
and they moved. This illustration
warning Mississippians that as long
as they depended OH outside capital to
come into the State and build mills
and factories they would be disappoint
ed; that they must do as the people of
Georgia and the Carolinas had done,
was widely reproduced by the State
press, and is still going the rounds
God helps those who helps them
selves; Mlssissippians are beginning to
help themselves. -Picayune's Miss.

Longino, the Democratic governor
elect, is perhaps the only man who ever
received every vote rast for governor
at his home box, whether there was OPP
position or not. The Greenville Demo

"A special honor was conferred upon
the next governor of Mississippi by his
home people at the election held yes
terday-every vote cast at the Green
vile box was cast for A. H. Longino
The members of all parties at home
know his worth. and laid aside party
feeling to honor the man. We con
graduate Judge Longino on this strong

he is held by those among whom he

demonstrating their devotion to their

When it comes to staying qualities
Nebraska beats any State on record for
furnishing public speakers with sur
passing endurance. Hon. w. V. Allen,
Populist Senator from that State, once
spoke 10 hours consecutively in the
Senate to defeat an obnoxious bill,
breaking ell records at speaking in the
Senate. During the last week of the
Nebraska campaign, Mr.. Bryan scored
another record breaker. He made 81
speeches in II days-an average of over
seven speeches day. During four
days he made 25 speeches and slept but
seven hours out of go. His schedule
for one day called for II speeches. On
one day he travelled 100 miles by rail
way and 80 miles in a vehicle. These
are marvellous physical and mental
achievements wholly beyond the capac-
ity of ordinary men. The drain upon
Mr.. Bryan's vitality is tremendous.
