TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for It?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will huy only the bette
so that while our profits may be small
er on single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
yOnr make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
~ before the public both are certain to
he tried and the public will very quick
ly pass Judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and nave
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims. but are GER
tain to return to the one remedy that
they know to be reliable, and for coughs.

to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For

LITTLE BUSINESS IN COTTON.
Brisk Demand in Dry Goods-Better
Prices in Wheat.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE sales of
print cloths during the week have not
been heavy. All available extras have
been sold ahead up to March LIST, and
there is neither much demand nor much
pressure to sell evident at Fall river.
Odd goods are in steady request, and
a fair amount of these have changed
hands during the week at prices on a
parity with the price for extras, 215c.
or above that figure.
Staple cottons: The advances in the
market have continued steadily. Buy
ing and shipments have been hampered
somewhat by the cold weather of the
week. The demand in general though,
is brisk and along diversified lines. Con
verters are heavier buyers than recently.
The buying for export has been free and
well sustained. Actual shipments are
somewhat lighter than heretofore
COTTON.
New York. Feb. 1.-THE cotton mark
ct was an unusually small affair to-day
as regards the volume of speculation,
but throughout the short session the
feeling was decidedly bullish with the
general tendency of prices upward on
covering by local and foreign shorts,
and stronger news from the cotton belt.
The opening was steady with prices I'M
changed to 2 points higher. The Liver
pool news averaged up better than an
ticipated. Snow, sleet and low tempera-
lures still hold full sway in the cotton
region. with every indication pointing to
a continuance of these conditions for
some time to come. Receipts were light
those at interior towns being from 80
TO 80 per cent. smaller than reported
year ago. Spot markets were stiffen-
ing on increased demand with bid prices
1-16 to 1sc higher. Rumors were in cir
culation to the effect that business had
been done at Fall River in print cloths
at an additional advance of kc. Re
vised crop estimates continue. to pour
in from all sides with the average point
ing to a total OF 10500,000 bales. The
market for futures finished the day
steady in tone at a net gain of 1 to 4
points. Estimated receipts at the ports
for the day were $4,000 bales, against
21,300 last week, and 32346 bales last
year. For the week $4,000 bales,
against 122.SS0 bales last week, and
1S6.S63 bales last year. To7day's re-
ceipts at New Orleans 5,272 bales,
against 1929 bales last year. and at
Houston 2,712 bales, against 1906 bales
last year.
