New York, March l0.-The feeling this
morning was one OF hesitation. The unex-
pected appears to have happened in the
matter of European political entanglements
and this naturally may seriously affect the
Liverpool market and have an important
bearing in the course of cotton. The new
Texas freight schedule goes into effect to-
day and is likely to result in increased re-
ceipts for little while, but the European
question seems to be of overshadowing i'm
portance at the moment y waiting pol
icy will probably be adopted by specu
lators until the drift of political events is
made clearer.
At noon the market stood at two to three
points decline after very small lransac-
tions and an extreme range of two to four
points. AT the close the decline was five
points or more.
The interior movement for tine week was
larger than expected. Perfect weather pre-
vailed over the entire South. Cables were
a half point lower for futures. Spot sales
were IL, ,OO0 with prices unchanged. Spec
ulation was dormant Liverpool stocks,
600 600. ahead OF last year. II seems proba-
bile that the market will drag for a time.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure.


The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
of piles without one particle OF pain.
This desirable point is not obtained by
the use of injurious opiates which simply
deaden and paralyse the nerves of the
parts and make matters worse in the long
run But it is done solely by its remark
able healing and soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate re-
lief, at the same time the disease is not
merely checked, but radical cure is rap
idly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without particle
of pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween it and almost any other kind of
treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciaungiy painful besides en-
dangering the life of the patient and in
most cases is not to be compared with the
Pyramid Cure, neither in making success
full cures without pain nor in cheapness
and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public so long, and its merits recog-
nized by too many people 10 allow it to
be classed with the many salves SUPPOSE
tories. pills, etc, and you run no risk
in trying it, as is often the case with
untried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any form
of piles or rectal disease do not forget

Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall. Mich. and
sold by druggists at 80 cents per package.

The market was irregular yesterday and
it cannot be said that the tendency was
either upward or downward. Some of the
specialties showed much strength at per-
iods of the day, but only in a few instances
were the gains held. Toward the close
there was selling OF almost the entire list
on the announcement that the dividend on
Union Pacific would not be increased. Spec
ulation was evidently curtailed on account
of fear that the bank statement viii be un-
satisfactory today. For this reason il seems
probable that the general list will be slug
gish or even, perhaps, weak this morning.
If the bank statement is bad one, prices
may be much lower before the close. This
is probably the feeling OF a majority of the
conservative critics of the market. If the
bank statement is appreciably better than
those of recent weeks the market may be
turned upward for a time at least. The
week has been better than many brokers
expected Stocks have not lost ground, but
rather the contrary, and this has been in
the face of somewhat trying series of
smaller bear matters. the bank statement
of last week was a very poor one and
dampened the ardor Of the most confident
bulls. The St Paul dividend was not in
creased. The Union Pacific dividend was
not increased. And now, finally, today
bank statement promises 10 be a poor one,
and there has been d general expectation
of it. Under the circumstances the bulls
may perhaps congratulate themselves that
stocks have acted so well.
The talk of the bank statement in ad
vance is really OF little worth More
often than otherwise predictions as to the
nature of the statement are far wide OF
the mark II may be said, however, that
the general expectation is for a better
showing than that OF last week. At the
same time it is not expected that the
figures will be in themselves good, except
by contrast. decrease in reserves is
expected. but not as large one as that of

this announcement, and when it came

that there was little surprise over it. The
Union Pacific securities are now at low

morrow will say:
Industrial and trade activity is still a
prominent feature of the general business
situation. Price strength, too, is notable
and especially in view of the midwinteT
rise of February, except in the case of the
leading cereals and wool. In manufacture
ing lines the situation is one of great ac-
tivity. Additional advances in wages an
nOunced this week seem likely to swell
the number of workers whose wages are re
ported advanced TO close TO 900. Lum-
ber is active at most markets and prices
are firm because Of well cleaned up stocks.
Raw and refined sugar have alike moved
upward this week, partly because of un-
favorable Cuban crop advices and also in
sympathy with the Improvement going on
in European beet markets. Refined has
been marked up Notwithstanding the trade
war now going on.
