There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years it
was supposed TO be incurable For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure it with local treatment, pro.
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is manufactured by f. j. Cheney q Co.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 30.-The cotton mar

easiness following the crop news from
Central Texas, the character of which
was the most gloomy received. From the
cotton belt at largo, however, crop ac-
counts were more favorable and pointed
to unusual activity on the part of the
farmers to increase their acreage. This
view was confirmed )3y active selling or

crop positions while Wall street parties
sold the spnmer positions on the move

preesTTe, but the market was at one time

floods in Brazos, Colorado and Trinity
valleys, and also by private cables, stat

English cotton trade, with the strongest
house in Liverpool taking up all tenders.
There was large business here, but
within the range of 10 points, liquidation

COTTON.

There was no change in the cotton mar
ket to-day, which closed quiet, with no
transaction reported. The trade Is great
ly interested at present in the probable
outcome of the rains, which are having a
detrimental effect on farm work through
out the belt. The fact wet weather is not
prevailing in Texas alone but throughout
a large portion of the cotton belt, makes
the probable damage or delay to the com
ing crop matter to be watched closely.
Local advices are to the effect that the cot
ton acreage in Georgia, Alabama and the
Carolinas will be increased for this crop
about 10 per cent. over last year. 1t is
also understood that about Is per cent.
more fertilizer will be used. Planting Is
now ten days or more behind in these
states. This in view of the present rains
in this section lends gloom to the situation.
What farmers are particularly enxlous Tor
is a spell of fair weather, that will enable
them 10 get in their crops, and to repair
the damage caused by rains
