The success of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription in the cure of diseases pc
culiar to women, is beyond comparison
greater than that of any other medicine
prepared especially for woman's use. It
is not cure-all but scientific prepara-
ton, the prescription of an eminent
living physician, still in active practice
and who, assisted by his staff Of nearly
a score of trained physicians, treats and
cures thousands OF women every year.
"Favorite Prescription has an invigor-
ating and vitalizing power peculiar to
itself and phenomenal control of dis
eases which attack the delicate organs of
woman. 1t permanently cures backache,
bearing down pains, liberation, infiam-
nation and like ills by curing their
cause. 1t dries up the drains, puts out
the fever fire Of inflammation and cures
the corroding ulcer. 1t makes marriage
a happiness and motherhood blessing,
by giving to women such an abundant
vitality that the baby blossoms into life
as sweetly, simply and naturally as a
flower. Sick women are invited to con-
suit Dr. Pierce by letter free of charge.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE OFF.
MARKET YIELDS y CENT BELOW
THE OPENING PRICE.

1t Looks Like the Closing of June
May Witness Declines in Place of
Advances in Turpentine-Cotton
Futures Again the Center of At
traction-OId Crop Months Advance
Sharply, Which Makes the Local
Element Confident August VIII
Reach 10 Cents-LocaI and Tele-
graphic Markets.
Morning News Office, June 2s.-The de-
cline of 12-cent in the turpentine market
to-day indicates to some that there may
be repetition of the closing experience
of previous months when instead of a
stiffening in values by a demand for stuff
with which to fill contracts, this demand
is satisfied and the market declines. For
several days past it looked like the price
of turpentine was to be maintained the
balance of the month. AS there are no
evidences of squeeze. however, il is pos
sible any tendency for lower prices may
not be checked by the demand. Stuff is
beginning TO move from the Gulf ports
North by coastiwse steamers. and it may
be the prospect of better facilities at these
ports for the shipment of naval stores Is
having its effect.
The rosin market showed considerable
strength, advancing cents at the opening
on F and below. AT the advance the mar
ket was bulletined firm. with a fair de-
mand reported for the offerings. While
the extent of the damage by wet weather
is not known, it is estimated IL will
amount to considerable, and may be felt
more later in a lessenng of receipts.
The cotton futures market displayed
great strength as to the old crop months
which advanced sharply, the closing show
ing June up A points, July so and August
"a points. The old crops were steady at
a net decline of and points. The ad-
vances in the near months led the local
element to freely predict 10 cents for Au-
gust because of the support of the lead
ing influences. There is still much con-
fusion as to the crop damage. however,
the trade everywhere still being undecid-
ed in the absence of definite crop news.
The wholesale markets were steady and
unchanged. Produce is in fair demand,
though shipments of first quality are not
such as TO glut the market Receipts of
fruits are in fair volume, with good de
mand. The following resume of the off
ferent markets will show the tone and

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, June 28.-Hubbard Bros, &
Co say: The feature of the day has been
the sharp advance in the nearby positions
in Liverpool and here This advance
abroad is due to the strong statistical po-
sition Of that market and the attempt of
Liverpool operators to manipulate the
nearby positions In this effort they have
been assisi ed by the corner in New Or
leans, which is attracting cotton to that
market that might otherwise go directly
to Liverpool. The markets have paid little
attention to-day to the clearing weather
reports over the cotton belt, but have
been governed by the strength in the
nearby months Shorts have covered free
ly in both markets while those who were
long of the distant deliveries have found
it difficult to dispose of their holdings ex-
cept at concessions. Outside of the manip-
ulation the trade accounts have not been
in favor of cotton, but he feeling in the
trade is growing that the damage to the
crop from recent rains is much Gnore Sc
rious than thought
New York, June 2S.-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool advanced 1-l6d on

cline closed 5 to points higher on old

CROPS IN FLORIDA.
Threatened Overflow of Rain Has
Ceased and Prospects Are Fair.

Ceased and Prospects Are Fair.
Sanford, Fla, June 2S.-It seemed last
week as though we were to be flooded
with rain like the Georgia farmers and
fruit growers, but our downpour ceased
Sunday night. and Two days of clear sun
shine have put things into very good
shape except on very low, wet lands. Flor
IDA seldom has overhows Of a serious
character from her rivers or lakes, and
her greatest damages come from tidal
waves and storms on the Gulf and Allan
tic coasts. In fact take her all in all,
our state suffers little from calamities
outside of an occasional freeze. 1t is no
doubt true that where one man gets dis
gusted or disheartened and moves out of
Florida, ten men come in to make good
his loss if his departure can be called a
loss. The steady increase in population
and farm products and business enter
prises is a subs Lantial evidence that our
stale more than holds her own.
The present season has been a good one
for truck farmers and fruit growers, ex
cept the backwardness of peaches on ac-
count of frost last winter. While the
crop is late and somewhat smaller than
usual, many of the growers have marketed
some very delicious early peaches. The
strawberry crop also suffered somewhat
from the cold snap. yet a prof. crop
was shipped to Northern markets. A
good crop of pears in quality-though
smaller than usual in size of crop-is now
nearly ready for shipment. There will be
very few guavas. and only a small crop
of oranges in Orange county. Many groves
are again in bearing in favored sections
of the county, and perhaps 1900 boxes may
be marketed next winter. More work is
now being done on orange groves than
ever before since the freeze of two win
tiers ago. The prospect of a mild winter
ahead has inspired the owners of these
neglected groves TO make one more effort
in the direction of profitable orange Gull
ture.
Most of the celery men and lettuce
growers have made money this season
some of them striking it rich" OF these
Mr.. A. Robbins, late manager of the San
ford House. has been quite fortunate in
the superior quality of his products and
the high prices realized. He refused $500
for his crop but held it at $1,000 better.
His good luck has resulted in TIE pur-
chase of the Florida House a hotel near
the old Orange Belt Railway depot, with
spacious grounds surrounding it, Mr. Rob
bins proposes to utilize these grounds for
a thrifty celery farm, including lettuce,
etc, and by so doing he will add cons der
ably to city improvements. OF late there
has been tendency 10 bring truck farm
ing within the city limits and thus utilize
large tracts of land that have been idle
for years. No Southern city can boast of
inner vegetable gardens than Sanford can
show. and many of them are a source of
cash income to their thrifty owners, in
addition TO supplying the home table

Tampn's Population.

The census OF 1890 gave Tampa a popu-
lation of only 1852, which, it is claimed
was between three and four thousand
short. The last attempt at a count of The
citys population was in the early part of
last year, when the directory count
showed a population of 2},O79. This count
is also believed TO be little short and
those competent to judge say. that if a
correct count is made by the census
enumerators, it ought to show a popula-
ton of between $4,000 and 27,000.
