Financial

New York, December 7.-Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial caI5legram:
 The markets here were less active and generally heavy today. Americans were dull early and weakened further on New York advices, but the declines were mostly insignificant. Denver and Rio Grande pre- ferred closed under the best, the market here thinking that the price is high enough compared with Saturday. Atchison pre- ferred and Fries were better. The chief feature in them was the rise in the general mortgage liens which New York bought. Missouri Pacifics were Father favored. Money was in better demand owing to the eXchequer bonds, but rates were steady, as the market was over-provided. supple mcntary estimate of f16,00O,O00 for expendi- lures in South Africa and China had no eff feet. The best opinion is that borrowing will be postponed until the new year. The November trade returns shows imports in- creased 1212 per cent; imports increased 2 and exports to America were lower. The imports of cotton from America were high CT both in quantity and value. The bank lost ESQ, 600 gold to Malta

COTTON MARKET

MUCH COTTON IS IN SIGHT

New York December 1.-The cotton mar ruled decidedly lower under heavy realfz- ing, chiefly owing to the large amount of cotton coming in sight. New Orleans gave occasional support, but as a rule southern orders went to the selling side of the ac- count Private wires intimated that spot holders were becoming very uneasy in view of the low bids of spenners and exporters The market met with the disadvantage at the outset of weak cables and opened at a decline of 3@6 points. Later the amount coming into sight became the factor, and the decline was increased 16919 points. A few feeble rallies were made, but these were due rather to covering than to any manifestation of inherent energy. The mar ket was finally barely steady at a net de- cline of 1341S points. The prevailing feel ing of depression was increased by an un- satisfactory demand for cotton goods and disappointment regarding the attitude of the speculative public. Included in today's selling was a larger proportion for short account than heretofore the rule.

covered in the early morning with his
head bruised and skull fractured and
was unable from his conditionsto make
any statement as, to how he had been
injured. The authorities were told
by another tramp that he had been as
saulted by the brakemen. When Johr
recovered from his injuries so far as
to be able to give an ineligible ac-

hurt himself in falling from the car
and that the brakemen had not struck
him. This statement was made and
Justice Tibbils satisfied this afternoon
that it was the fact, and accordingly

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other di-
seases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ].
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucuous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.
