TO you for Peruna. Miss Kate Brown
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases Of
the Kidneys, bladder and digestive Oh
gans are all frequently the result Of o
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doe
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause Of
them is discovered, there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine diarrhna medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The cata.-h must be treated
The cause being removed, the'derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any Of
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving q
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

Murnhv a co.,s Cotton Letter

New York, October 3-The disposition was to support the market on the re- sumption of business today because of quite satisfactory cables, press dis patches of great loss by heavy rains in Texas and the possibility of very bull ish figures for the bureau at noon de- spite all reports claiming decided im- provement during September and more or less similar evidences from other sec tions. Bears pointed to the weekly fig ures from Liverpool which showed a loss in stocks of 12,O00 indicated 79,000 in- crease in the movement afoat Large shipments booked ahead will undoubted- ly swell the ahoat stock from now on but even with these conditions unreason- able to look for antogonistic operations across the ocean. Conservative people are confident of short crop and high CT market and the volume of cotton nov ing the past few days encourages this belief. The main question has. however is the date of frost. Pending the re- ceipt of bureau figures the market ruled quiet. After the first hour numerous reports came in of Jig rains and dam age in Arkansas and Texas. The bureau figures of 5S.8 gave the market fresh lift when announced and shorts hastened to cover since no such LOW condition has been shown for years. Port receipts, 45,- 000; last year, 2S.00e.

MUCH HIGHER PRICES FOR
 Cotton Predicted.

New York. October 3.--The United States government reports the condition of the cotton crop, issued today, shows an average condition throughout the cot ton producing area of 5S9 as against 61.4 last year when the actual produc- tion was about ten million bales, 67 in lsO0. when the production was Il, ,250, GOO. t-.4 in 1S99 when the crop was $500, 900, and 60.7 in 1S96 when the crop was 8700,- 900. The condition in Texas is 47 as against 51 last year, 7S in 1yO0, 56 in 1899 and 57 in 1896. The condition of the whole belt therefore is "A per cent below the previous low record, while the condition in Texas Is per cent below the previous low record There is no escape from the conclusion that these figures point to an exceedingly small crop in my opinion not over 9,500. .000 and there Is further no escape from the conclusion that such a supply is inadequate for the demands at present prices and tha. cotton must go very much higher. I therefore repeat the advice I have previously offered to southern holders and producers of colt on and again urge them not to be influenced by passing speculative f1urfes into an ac- ceptance of any lower prices for their cotton than the situation justifies I feel entirely confident that cotton will this year sell at 10 cents a pound. Insterested parties on the New York cotton ex- change. which is an American institu- tion composed of --merican members and dealing in American product have mis- conceived, and may continue to miscon- ceive their own best int crest and that of the trade they represent by attempting to discredit the agricultural department and to depress the price of cotton, but tn.s time the facts are against them and within reasonable limitatio IS those who have sold cotton which they do not possess and those who have 1t to buy for consumption must pay the price which producers, in view of the extraordinary situation are entitled to demand.

o. W. Lee Co.'S Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Go.
 New York, October S.-The government has at last issued it's final condition statement and 1t is one of the worst in the annals of the department. A condi- ton of 58.3 or 10 points below the ten year average and lower than last year or 1899, or even 1896, is something to cause comment This is important enough to bring about serious thought on the ques- tion of supply and demand. It is really of little importance whether the condi- ton Is 5S, 60 or 62. There is no hope of much more cotton than last year. This is the important item. Last year there was brought into sight 250,000 bales from the previous crop and 100000 bales were taken out of the worlds surplus before the close of the year Consumption is not likely to be less this season without very higher prices. The same consumption and the same crop as last year will mean 450,000 or 800, 900 bales out of the visible this year. That amount of cotton cannot be taken from the surplus without put ting up prices over or 10 cents a pound For these reasons we are still very bull tsh on the cotton outlook and believe in much higher prices for March and May cotton. The selling on this report may reach large total. It will be greatest in January and Che buying greatest In the March and May options, but this liquidation Is not likely to have more than temporary influence on prices On any break cotton can be bought on com paratively little risk. Distant options be- low SEC are likely to look cheap in the future and we would keep long of the market. It will be more and more diffi- cult to buy cotton as the season advances, now that the report is out of the way, and we would get hold of May and March for much higher prices before spring. Tn the event of an advance to cents for January, selling may bring about a set- lack, but cotton Is to be bought, not sold, this season.
