 Fell Several Points
BIG ACREAGE REPORTED

New York, February 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices unchanged to two points higher Later prices ad- vaneed two to four points on pretty active buying, considerable part of which was for foreign account, despite the decline at Liverpool. Later the market broke under active realizing and by noon prices showed a net loss of three to five points. The de- cline was started by indications of new crop selling by houses with southern connection which was taken to signify satisfaction with prevailing figures for the new crop, with the natural inference that planting would proceed upon a large scale. There were several private dispatches stating that big acreage was contemplated. AL though the movement of cotton was large 1t made no particular impression on the market, the explanation being that recent heavy purchases by exporters were now on the way out of the country. In the after noon trading was conservative partly ow- ing to the private cables stating that there was a growing disposition in England to await the outcome of General Buffers fur ther movements.
 The market closed steady in tone with prices net two points liver to five points higher

KANSAS.
On the basis of the vote of four years
ago the Republicans of Kansas will nave
to overcome majority Of 10000 votes
In order to carry the state for President
Mckinley and Gcv Stanley. The Demo-
Gratis and PopuliSts have fused on the
national and state tickets under an ar
rangement by which the Democrats get
the electors and the three places on the
state ticket, the Populists having the
other nominees on the state ticket, IN
Guiding the candidate for governor. Inc
combined Democratic and Popuifst vote
is about 10000 in excess Of the RepuoIl-
can vote, although the Republicans sue

and light vote in the country districts.

cratic and Populist fusion is more COM

the Republicans claim to be stronger
than they were in 1896 or 1898 and have
the benefit naturally resulting from
good state administration for the two
years. According to the best Judgment
of non-partisans and the independent

ought to be on hand for the constitu-
tional convention, which meets Nox. 5.
The death rate In Havana. including vel
low fever, is smaller than for many
years. The recent Increase in yellow
fever cases Is attributed to the large i'm
migration of Spaniards. The immigrants
are not immunes and are susceptible to
the disease not only on this account, hut
from the fact that they have no concep-
ton of sanitation when exposed to the
effects Of the disease. However, We are
making arrangements to establish a quar-
antine system of OBTAINING them on hulls
until they can be forwarded through to
their DIES tination in the country districts
Of course many will stay IN Havana, find
ing employment in warehouses and fac
tories. and we must expect to find cases
of yellow fever among them"

Cstarrh Is a Lingering Cold Which
Refuses to Yield to Ordinary

~gatarrh usually starts with cold in
the head and if left unchecked in this

As fresh cold is taken the disease

pipe, from winlp:pe. to bronchial tubes
and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect, one
With another. Herce, it is easy to spread
from one part 10 another lined with this
same membrane. This is why catarrh in
the head soon effects the throat and fin
ally the stomach ITSELF bringing on
chronic catarrh Of the stomach, which is
a most obstinate form Of dyspepsia.
Everybody is new we'll agreed that

applications simply gives temporary re-

That there Is any chance for Bryan
carrying Minnesota is not seriously con-
tended, save 10y some of the Democratic
campaign speakers, who profess to find
marked changes in the temper of the
people since 1896. The plurality of 5000
with which Mckinley went out of the
state then, however, with the fact that
the Republicans have restored, in part
at least, the organization which was al
lowed to go out of existence in the state
campaign two years ago, makes scarcely
credible claims of ability to overcome the
vote in state which has never voted
for a Democratic president.
That Gov. Lind viii be elected seems
almost as positive as that Mckinley will
carry the state. Bryan carried only thir-
teen out Of eighty counties in 1896; Lind
carried all but twenty-five in 1893
