COTTON.
New York, August 1.-THE cotton
market was less active today. The first
prices 3 points higher to ) points lower
Later the general market showed gen
eral decline of 3 to 8 points, liquidation
being the cause, following unsatisfac
tory cables and a lack of outside specu-
lative support. The marked rallied par
tally later, on unsatisfactory weather
conditions in the cotton belt, it being
feared that insufficient rain had fallen.
The fact that the weather in Texas
continues very hot as we'll as in other
parts of the Southwest, added to the
apprehensions OF the bear contingent,
in connection with the fact that no rains
are indicated by the Government fore
casts.
During the afternoon the market was
comparatively tame, but generally quite
steady. There was some selling during
the latter part of the session for short
account on the theory that the higher
prices ruling for cotton would stimu-
late an early movement Of the new
crop and that the influence OF receipts
would be TO keep spot buyers from
anticipating their wants to any great
extent, thus leading to stock accumula-
tons. An element in the confidence of
the bulls is the favorable condition of
the cotton goods market, and the out
look for an exceptional consumption OF
cotton.
The market was finally steady at a
net gain of l to 3 points.

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness of the
victims condition is as inexphcable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
a perfectly healthy state. 1t cures by
removing the cause. The result is that
by condition, and he has neither craving.

a National Inv Needed.

The Importance of national laws regu-
latins business that Is national in its
character is exempllfied by the ruling
OF the Missouri court OF appeals uphold
Ing a state law which virtually denies
to combinations or trusts the right to
collect debts that are due them In that
state. A recent decision by the United
States attorney general was to the eff
feet that the national antitrust law
was inefficient owing to the fact that
the control Of combines was within
state Jurisdictions. AS the states have
various sorts OF laws on this subject
and they are anything but harmonious
In their workings, n manufacturing
combination doing business In many
states cannot avert a confusion which
interferes with trade.
In the Missouri case just debt was
,outlawed by a state statute which had
for Its main and proper purpose render
Ing illegal combination in restraint Of
trade. In other states similar laws pre-
business; in others. the laws are OF
doubtful construction, and there Is end
less confusion.
Congress was years passing a nation
al bankrupt law, which was badly need
ed owing to the incongru!ty OF the state
laws which made 1t unsafe and con-
fustng for firms doing large Interstate
business. and led to many complications
in cases Of bankruptcy. A national
bankrupt law was an absolute neces-
sity. The same necessity arises, in view
OF the decision of Attorney General
Griggs. with reference to the need of a
national! regulation OF business which Is
national in Its character, and confined to
no particular state or states. When
each stats has Its own laws affecting
this sort OF business and they vary from
each other. and widely differ in their
purposes and effects. 1t seems that some
remedy can be provided by Congress.

The governor OF Arkansas says: "BusI-

stated BY the governor that all foreign

sixty three, have ceased to do business
In Arkansas and that fire insurance pol
iciea can now be obtained only in two

This IS the first development under q

employed many deserving citizens In

stood for competition. not monopoly.

Those who have expected that an ar

possible, and that the Intolerable situa-
ton. under which the business interests
of the city have been suffering for near
ly month. might be brought to an
amicable end, had their confident hopes

Ing" This Information was conveyed
to conference of n committee from the
chamber OF commerce. In response to
their invitation to the strikers to meet
three local directors OF the road and
confer with n view to bringing about n
settlement. The directors were present,
but a committee from the strikers did
not appear, though two representatives
brought the ult!matum to the hallway
outside Of the conference room.

There is to be no arbitration nor no re-

there is absolutely nothing else that can
be done by those who have impartially

The action Of the strikers has made the
