The cotton market closed quiet and I'M
changed to-day, with sales from factors

g last year, and rs year before last
The strength of New York futures was a
feature of the day. In response to a
movement of shorts to cover, and fur
ther movement among them toward the
closing to cover on the governments bull
ish crop report was what impaired
strength to the situation. The closing of
futures was steady, with prices 7d19
points higher.

The spirits turpentine market develop
ed considerable strength after fairly
active days trading, closing firm at S21a'
10 S234c, at which transactions were in
fair volume After the closing it was
renorted that the offerings remaining in
factors hands went for S22Ic, which was
the current price. The improvement was
due to a quickening of the demand, which
appeared from the general inquiry among
BUYERS to be from several local sources.
Resins disclosed a strong undertone also
after the closing, with the prospects fav-
cradle for an advance. Factors We're
holdlng on to their receipts after the
close, with quotations bid, but with the
hope that they would be able to do bet
eer. 1t was expected that the anxious
buyers would come forward with raise
before the various houses closed for the
daX.
The cotton market closed quiet and uu-
changed from yesterdays prices, with
moderate business reported. The feature
was the rise in cotton futures at New
York due to scramble among scared
shorts to cover, and second rush with
increased anxiety to cover when the gov
eminent $ bullish crop report for the
week was announced. The strength i'm
parted carried futures up to 10 points.
The professional character of New York
stocks caused that market to lapse into
dullness, with the price movement with
in a narrow range. The demand was light,
and the interest not such as to stimulate
trading. The following resume of the
markets will show their tone an quota

Citizens met In the North side Tur-
nor hall not many weeks ago and dis
eussed asphalt pavements. says the
Milwaukee Sentinel A substitute for
asphalt was proposed by one OF the
leading politicians present II had
been decided 10 lay a pavement on
certain streets IN that part Of town
and asphalt seemed to be the material
most favored by the common council.
II would make the assessments on
property holders high. and this meet
ing had been called TO oppose any
measures which would require 80 great
an expense.
The meeting was large and fun o;
indignation. There were many and
curious reasons why asphalt vas no
good. Everybody was ready TO adopt
measures to defeat the tactics OF the
cunning politicians who wished to
food the streets with mud from Trini-
dad. After long harangue on the ne
cessity Of concerted action on the part
Of citizens. the chief speaker OF the
evening solved the dificuity by pro-
posing new and enduring kind OF
material.
y tell you. fellow citizens. II dose
persons what live on Grand avenue
want assfawled. let dem have asstawi-
ed. but we. we do not want such a
stun. Plocks Is peter. We must do
something's and putty quick already.
When we do not want such a pavement
as assfawled and pay more money yet

heads togedder and make piocks."

THE FEAR OF HUHBUG.
PREVENTS MANY PEOPLE FROM
TRYING A GOOD MEDICINE.

Stomach troubles are so conmoi
and in most cases so obstinate to cur
that people are apt to look with sus
picion ON any rcmedy claiming to be
radical, permanent cure for dyspepsil
and indigestion. Many such prid'
themselves on their acuteness in nevei
being humbugged, especially in meui
cines.
The fear of being humbugged can b
carried too far, so far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak di
gestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of preparation so reli'
able and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines. for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret is
made Of their ingredients, although
they are sold by all druggists under
protection of trademark, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural d.
gestive ferments, pure asceptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, nydrastics and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ. but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret Of their success.
Cathartio pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach
troubles. because they act entirely on
the bowels, where as the whole troubls
is really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after, meals digest the food. That is
all there is to il. Food not digestcd
or half digested is poison, as 1t creates
gas, aeidity, headaches, pLpitation
Of the heart, loss of flesh and many
other troubles which are often called
by some other name.

last term of court With the witness
es, jurymen, spectators, and hast, but
not least, the attorneys, there was hard

BRlGANDS IN NO HASTE.
WOULD DEFER NEGOTIATIONS
IN HOPE OF SECURING THE
FULL DEMAND.

Constantinople, Dec. Lit is re-
ported here that the Bulgarian bril-
gands who hold Miss Stone captive
wish to postpone until ,spring further
negotiations for her release, owing to
the heavy snow which now lies on the
mountains. Renewed evidence has
reached the American legation that
nothing less than the full amount Of
the ransom asked will suffice to secure
Miss stones freedom. The brigands
say that rich Americans have been
known to pay twenty-five thou sand
pounds sterling for horse, and they
ought to BE- willing to give like
amount for q woman.
