Murphy q Co.'S cotton Letter.

New York. September 2.-Cotton opened
2 to points lower this morning. but
quickly rallied There was little scare
early in the day because of reports of
more or less rain in Texas
The effect of Texas rains at this time,
1t is believed, cannot repair the damage
to the crop to any appreciable extent,
and there Is good reason for believing
that good crop accounts from that state
comes largely from parties short of the
market. Our advices are that the yield on
the whole is not likely to exceed 10, 500 600

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, Sept ember a-The mar
ket opened with fair offerings for spot
cotton. The assortment on tables was
good, including mlddling grades, which
have been very scarce for some tins
past. Factors were willing sellers at quo
tations. Sales 200 bales, including 1900 to
arrive Quotations unchanged.
The contract market under the influence
of an earlier Liverpool and reports of
generous rainfalls and lower temperature
throughout the western portion of the
belt, particularly in Texas, prices for the
day, opened down to points, and for
a time the market was very quiet. But
the trade bore In mind the approaching
advent of the usual bullish weekly crop
condition report and a little squirt of
buying readily sent the figures up again
to the extent of s to 6 points. From
that level there was again a slight dis
play Of bearishness and prices gradually
fell Off to a range of 3 to 4 points below
Fridays closing. The reading of the gov
eminent report set the pace sharply for
a short while in favor of the long ele-
ment, and gains of 10 points were re-
corded with fairly heavy trading in Sep
TENDER. October, December and March.
After further fluctuations the market
closed with net gains of 10 points on Oc-
tober and 6 to points on the other posi-
tions.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS.
Do Hair No Good, But Often Cause
1t to Fall Out.

Many hair preparations are "fake"
because they are merely scalp lrri-
tants. They often cause dryness,
making the hair brittle, and finally,
lifeless. Dandruff is the cause Of
all trouble with the hair. 1t is a
germ disease The germ makes
cutlcle scales as it digs to the root of
the hair, where it destroys the hairs
vitality, causing the hair to fall out.
To cure dandrufi the germ must be
killed. "Destroy the cause you re-
move the effect" Ne1bro's Herpi-
eide is the only hair preparation that
kills the dandruff germ, thereby
leaving the hair to grow luxuriantIy.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find
it Contains Alum and Rock, Declare
it Dangerous to the Health
and Dump it Into the
River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures
sold.for baking powder, and dumped
them into the offal scow to be de-
stroyed. More of the powder was
found in Sixth ave. department
store. The report of the analysis
of the Health Department stated
that it was "an alum baking pow
der" containing alum and pulverized
rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways OF re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prose-
cuted the grocers under the general
law and broken up the traffic In
Missouri the sale of alum baking
powder is actually prohibited by law.
In New York they seize the unwhole-
some stuff and cast it into the river,
without any discussion. The latter
way is certainly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
aIly offered at low price, ten to
twenty cents pound, or with some
prize, as temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade BAKING

The last chance of the passage of an
oyster planting law at the present ses-
sion of the Maryland Legislature was
thrown way last week when the
House, by vote of 4Oto 43, effectually
and finally killed the Haman bill. The
Eastern Shore idea prevailed by the
passage of Mr.. Dryden's bill appropri-
ating 100000 out of the State treasury
for the benefit of the Eastern Shore
Oystermen. The Haman bill came up
and the House was crowded with
interested spectators. The friends of
the bill believed they had the votes to
pass it, but at the last moment were
deserted by members upon whom the
greatest reliance had been placed. An
order adopted early in the evening
iimiting each member to five minutes
In speaking practically shut off debate

The yetOes thus far made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt show him to be resolute
against lowering the tone of the mill
tary service by correcting the records"
of men who have left the service in dis
grace; His latest veto is of bill 'for
the relief of Emanuel Klauser," con-
victed of breach of the regulations and
sentenced to dishOnorable discharge
many years ago. The bill directed
the Secretary Of War to revoke the
order approving the proceedings in the
case and to grant an honorable dis
charge The President says that this is
practically an exercise of the pardoning
power by Congress, though that power
belongs to the Executive. Referring
to former veto of bill similar in
terms, the President makes his words
used then apply to the present case
''II is entirely unlikely that there is
now, thirty-seven years after the
event, a better opportunity to pass a
fair judgment than there was them"
and he remarks also that the value of
an honorable discharge" is lessened
every time one is given to person who
does not deserve it. MIR. Roosevelt's s
yetoes will be approved by the public
