says: The markets here were stagnant
to-day awaiting the decision of the cab
met on the question of war with the

much divided and business was very mea-
ger. A slight rally came late in the day
on the bear covering before the holiday
Consols were closed down.
Americans began fiat under parity, but
there was little buying in the early after
noon. New York followed suit and the

A Forerunner of the Most

are sometimes almost unbearable,

check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the.
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defiIement, and
gets deeper and deeper until is is
only question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will,

To the Merchants:
There is not a more important question
before the people today than the diversiii-
cation Of crops or the reduction of the cp5-
ton acreage. In order to do this, both the
Wholesale and retail merchants must enter
largely into the good work. The follow
ing plan is suggested 10 our retail oretl-
rem:
That by agreeing to take grain, delivered
at our option +. o. b. cars next fall for all
debts made prior TO January !, 1899, corn,
shelled in bulk 20 cents; oats, In SACKS.
y cents. wheat, in bulk, 20 cents, and give
advantage of any rise that might occur ut
delivery-lf by SO doing the farmers can be
induced to raise grain enough 10 pay back
debts. and they or their landlords can have
no reasonable objcction-thcre is but little
doubt that, If this plan is adopted, the cot
ton acreage woulo be reduced s., l-3 per
cent, and we will see the cotton crop of
1899 1900 sell for cents per pound.
We are trying TO pursue this plan our
selves, and to make IL a success VIC want
the hearty cooperation of all the retailers
in the Cotton States. Yours truly,
W. T. Cox.
