 GOOD ADVANCE
Bad Weather Conditions Re-
 ported in the South
TRADE SHOWING CAUTION
All Operators Are Apparently Await Ing Publication of Governments Bureau Report-Not More
 Than o,ooo Bales Sold.

New York, November 28.-The cotton market opened steady at to points ad- vance, with some of the more active po- sitions selling up 1 to points on as good cables as expected and bad weather con- ditions in most parts of the south. Texas reported range of temperature from % to 3S. while other localities report the severest weather of the season, with sleet and cold rains, practically stopping any further promise of top crop growth Following the opening call the market was irregular within range of to 10 points on the more active months, with the trading largely of a professional character in good part for evening up outstanding contracts in anticipation of the bureau report due to make it's ap- pearance December 3. Pending the publl- cation of this report the entire cotton trade is showing caution and the volume of business is light Todays transac- tions were confined to about 100000 bales. In the afternoon buying picked up lit- tie on the weekend figures which were more bullish than expected with Super intendent Hester making the Fin sight movement 397,O0O bales against 27,
 
 bales last year, while Superintendent Kings figures make the movement s9s,2o2 bales against 4S2.O55 last year A large estimate for receipts at New Orleans for tomorrow, however. held the upward movement in check and grew to be factor in closing the market at about the lowest figures of the session.

Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physi- elan to the Invalids' Hotel aud Sur gical Institute, at Buffalo, N.

He used most frequently wonderful medicine for ailing women, which lie afterward put up ill ready to : use form and called it Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription. It has stood the test for thirty years. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs con cerned in wifehocd aud motherhood, making them strong and well. It allays inflammation, heals Liberation, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. It transforms weak, nervous women into healthy, happy wives and mothers.

New Orleans, November 28.-Spot cotton quiet and steady. There was no urgent demand for the staple and the transac- tions were somewhat restricted. Factors asking prices were generally a shade higher than board figures and no conces- sions below that level were obtainable. The sales were 3550 bales. including 450 to arrive Quotations were unchanged. Flu lures were dull. Yesterdays advance in deliveries at Liverpool were faintly re- flected on this side, and taken in connec- ton with the first general heavy frost formation in the cotton belt helped to lend a mildly firmer tone to the American market today, The local market opened 9 to 5 points above Wednesdays closing figures and thereafter huctuated oyer fairly wide range but with a slightly softening tendency that placed values at the close net point up to 1 point down, compared with Wednesdays prices,

CELEBRATIONS IN MADRID.
Beautiful Weather Marks tho Great
 Military Review.

Madrid, May 19.-The entire popuIa- ton of Madrid seemed to have assem- bled this afternoon along the broad and leafy Paseo Del Prado and Paseo De Ricoletos, the Grand Boulvarde of Madrid, there to witness the great mill itary review.
 The weather was beautiful. Grand stands had been erected at central point on the line of march, and from these the queen mother, members of the royal family, the diplomats and members of the cortes witnessed the march past of fourteen thousand sol- diers. The entire garrison of Madrid, several regiments from the provinces on the naval detachment, which had been brought to Madrid especially for the occasion, took part in the process sion. King Alfonso, in the uniform of a captain-general and mounted upon a handsome bay charger, left the palace at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He was accompanied by General Weyler. the Duke of Connaught (the representative of King Edward at the ceremonies at tendant on the attaining by the king of his majority), the Grand Duke Vladimir (the Russian representative) and other princes, and a suite of staff officers. His majesty rode to the Paseo De Reco- letos, where the troops were drawn up- As the king passed down the line the soldiers greeted him with hearty cheer- ing. He then took up position at the side of the grandstand where his moth- CT was seated. The march past began at once and lasted an hour and half All the branches of the Spanish army were included in the procession of the grand review, which concluded with the gallop past of half dozen regiments of cavalry riding ten horses abreast. The Queens Lancers, with fiuttering pen- nants of the national colors, led the gallop past; this regiment was followed by the Dragons, and finally came the Hussars. The latter were clad in very striking uniforms of bright scarlet, blue and eam-coored material, and their short capes streamed in the wind as they careered past the king. The Hus- sars and the Civic Guard received the greatest share of the plaudits of the people.
 On his way back to the palace King Alfonso was greeted with hearty shouts from the people of Viva el rey!" Gong live the king).

Governor General Wood and Staff Pres
 pairing to Leave.

Havana, May 19.-The last day of the American occupation of Cuba was de- voted by Governor General Wood and his staff to clearing their desks Of offi- cial business and to arranging the final details of the evacuation tomorrow. Major Dunn and Captain Carpenter, aides to Governor General Wood, were busy all day returning the official visits of officials of warships in the harbor and the members of consular corps.

This appointment is subject to ratification by President-lect Palma Dr. Findley first advanced the theory that yellow fever is spread by mosqui- toes, tIie adoption of which has done so much to rid Cuba of the yellow scourge.

 The report that the northern army is marching on Port-au- Prince now seems to be generally accepted as true. The troops of General Firnlin are supposed to be at St. Marc Con the west coast, forty-four miles from Port-au- Prince). The intentions of the general barring the fact that he is a presidential can didate, are now known. If he arrives here alone he may be able to make some arrangement with the provisional gov ernment, but if he approaches this city at the head of a force of troops fight ing is liable to occur All is very quiet here.
