Cotton Letter.

A Brittin & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D.
 Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, May 30.-The holiday ir New York coupled with the general dis position to await the government report tomorrow has induced the most spiritless cotton market today that has been wit messed for several months The principal dealings have been generally the evening up of outstanding engagements, both sides exhibiting a nervous feeling, par ticularly in regard to the acreage which the official report will give. At the open- ing July contracts showed a decline of two points. but there was no disposition to fell that month, and as few shorts sought to cover continued strength was imparted to this delivery up to the close, which showed full recovery of the early loss and future gain which finally result ed in a gain for the day of four to five points. July being quoted at 7.55@7. .57. The fall and winter months were rather neglected, two points being the extent of the advance on the most distant deliv- cries.
 Liverpool showed also a rather stag nant condition, that market also await in the cue from the government report tomorrow. The English market was up 1-32d on spots with very small sales, while deliveries were advanced only half sixty fourth.
 The weather continues more favorable for crop growth and unless the tomor- rows report gives decided warrant for an advance under the influences of warmer temperature the market Is very likely tc ease off somewhat, when we think a pur- chase would offer fairly good opportun- ity for profit.

MALARIA.

The people who live in low, swampy countries seem to take it for granted that Malaria, Fevers and Ague are nec- essary evils. They apparently do not re- alize that these diseases are slowly but surely sapping their general vitality. These intermittent levers, malaria, fever and ague, swamp fever. jungle fever etc., are the most persistent enemies of the human race. If the aggregate of harm they do could be realized they would be fought as plaques.
 These diseases are the result of weak ness, of poisoned, microbial blood, and it was long ago demonstrated that Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic was an absolute specific; a sure cure It has been conquring and preventing these diseases for nearly half a century. It purifies the blood and drives out the poisons
 It has been thoroughly demonstrated tries and low swampy localities are ve- hicles for carrying disease germs. If your blood is pure and healthy you need have little fear of these. But if your blood is bad 1t is not in condition to resist the poisonous stings, and as result the germs of disease obtain footing.
 Protect yourself by using pr. Harters Iron Tonic. It will not only drive out but keep out malaria and other levers of like kind It has done it in so many thousands of cases that you cannot doubt.
