In the summer months declines of around
20 points were scored. the movement be-
ing accompanied by more or less liqui-
dation on the part of weak holders and
tired bulls. The short interest put out in
connection with this demonstration was.

newed steadiness which was shown in
Fridays trading. although the market
falled on the whole TO recover its pre-
vious losses.
Inc technical speculative position. and,
above all, the rather overgrown bull in
terest in deliveries for the present crop.
would appear to have furnished the chief
reason for the weakness in the market.
American spot markets are generally
steady, and the impression is that the
crop movement from now on is likely
70 fall of. owing 10 the exhaustion of sup
plies in first hands and at primary
points. The fact that the present time
IS a dull season in the cotton goods trade
would account for any lack Of further
sensational features in hat connection.
Prices for cotton, however. are not yield
ing. and there is no indication OF an accu-
mutation Of unsOld products.
\ feature is the relative strength of
new crop options. Covering by shorts
and purchases by investors who desired
TO transfer their interest from the old TO
the new deliveries ollowed the generally
unfavorable tenor CT news as TO the late
ness OF the season, excessive moisture in
various parts of the cotton belt and the
fact that preparations for the planting of
q large crop have not advanced in a de-
gree that would encourage confident ex-
pectationS of an enormous yield for the
coming season. At present, however, the
trade and the public are somewhat uncer-
tain as to the immediate developments
and the speculative outcome to which
the Twill give rise, while many incline
to the opinion that on further declines,
both the old and the new crop options are
purchased in view Of the strong statisti-
cal position and the rather adverse con
dltlons as respects the new crop.

he due TO the fact that the shipments or
currency to the interior by the banks
have included a large proportion OF their
new note issues, while the receipts have
been made up of legal tenders. The pro-
cess Of sorting thus involved would yield
a larger return to the banks of cash
available for reserve than would be IN
dicated in the bare figures of excess OF
receipts over shipments on the interior
movement. 1t Will be by some such
process that the new bank notes will dis
place the legal tenders in actual circula-
ton. and thus make them available for
reserve purposes of the banks. Another
possible explanation of the increase IN
cash is that loans nave been paid OH IN
cash. The loan item shows that the new
demands on the banks for stock mark
ct operations and for April 1st settle
ments has more than offset the liqulda-
ton of loans for holding Government
bonds, designed to use as security Tor
note issues. The result IS a loan eH-
pansion of s., $50, 900. Had 1t not been
for the Unexpectedly large gain in cash,
the increase in reserve requirements tnuS
involved would lave made an inroad upon
the surplus. It was some fear of this
showing that caused yesterdays hesita-

The same feeling was perceptible to some
extent in the early trading today, but
it gave way to the renewed buying de-
mand. especially for the Iron and Steel

eral and the market closed active and
strong at substantial net gains all

Yesterday by the assertions of officials OF

RESTRAINTS WHILE UNDER TREAT
MENT.

Greensboro, n. c.. The only requirements
are gentlemanly conduct and the exercise
Of care in following out the regulations
governing the administration of the rem
edy. We never have any trouble in the
management of patients. Refractory or
vicious patients are dismissed the mo-
ment it becomes evident that their pres
ence is an improper infliction upon we'll
intentioned associates. 1t is true, when
patients arrive in a totally irresponsible
condition, an attendant is necessary for
Il day or two to see that they take their
remedy properly, etc. This surveillance,
however, rarely goes beyond the third
or fourth day, as the patient by that time
becomes abundantly able to care for him
self.

THE KELLEY TREATMENT.

The thinking world is beginning to real
ize that drunkenness, whether habitual
or periodical, is a disease and not a
habit. People now understand that men
do not drink themselves into the cutters,
prisons. and madhouses because they pre-
fer being there, but because they cannot
help it. There is probably no medical
discovery of the age that has created
more genuine interest and popular at
tentiOn than the discovery of DR.. Leslie
f.. Kelley, Of the cure for drunkenness,
morphinism, neurasthenia and the tobacco
habit. Scarcely a village in North Caro-
lima is without its Kelley graduates, and
each one speaks in the highest terms Of
the treatment as administered at The
Kelley Institute at Greensboro, and Of
its wonderful results.

WHAT CLASS OF PEOPLE SHOULD BE
BROUGHT FOR TREATMENT?

1t is not Well to take to a Kelley lnStl-
tute a man VINO has no desire to be cured.
If one is SO given over to evil that he
prefers debauchery and drunkenness 20 q
sober and yirtuOus life. he would no. be
likely to give ordinary protection to his
cure after he received it.
But never since the Kelley Institute at
Greensboro. \. c.. has been established
has a man left it doubtful as to the fact
OF his cure. 4 realizing sense Of restora-
ton comes to the most skeptical before

Why IS H FORMULA OF THE
KELLEY CURE KEPT SECRET.

The question has often been asked. but
il one will think about it, he will see that
DR.. Kelley could not give his formula
to the world, or even to the medical pro-
%fession, without exposing his remedies to
injurious deliberations and spurious 1m1-
tations. If the Kelley remedies were
given to the public, how long would some
druggist retain in them their present
necessary elements? It's purity and eX-
cellence would soon be destroyed and the
people deprived of its great benefits. IN
the hands of the ignorant and careless,
its use would soon become abused and
discredited. At the Kelley Institute,
Greensboro, n. c., the remedies are IN
the hands of a physician skilled in their
administration and TIE management and
cure of all drug diseases. alcoholism,
neuraSthenia and the tobacco habit.
