NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET

New Orleans, Aug. 1s.--The demand
for spot cotton continues, though the
supply of desirable qualities is made
quate. Sales 800 bales. Quotations un-
changed.
During the forenoon session to-day
the market for contracts for the future
delivery of cotton was fairly active,
under the influence of rapidly advanc-
ing prices, superinduced by vigorous
bull onslaught in New York. Septem-
Der, October and December were dealt
in most actively. To-day Liverpool
was up 1920 on spots, and Id to 2-64d
on deliveries. On the first call, prices
were l to 2 points lower, but imme-
diately following the call New York
began to work up and New Orleans
promptly followed suit, until gains of
to s points on the several positions
had been recorded. There was a let
up in the trading at that stage and
thereafter prices fluctuated a point or
two, until at the close, when the board
showed net gains from Saturdays fig
ures of 6 points on August and to
points on the other months.

upon posting of the weather map, it
was ascertained that the Carolinas and

these high temperatures always pre-

HE FOUND IT,

Pnrtly because of Good Fortune and Partly
 because He was Watching and Searching.
 When Columbus set sail in search of a new continent the wise men of his time called him an adventurous fool Yet he disoouered America. You may say that was an accident. Yes, but it was the kind of accident that happens only to men who are looking for it During long profess ional practice Dr. David Kennedy, of Kingston, N. T., was continually watching out for a better medicine than any thus far known for certain complaints. He could not imagine when or how he should find it; perhaps (more likely indeed) he should, never find it at all So he thought. But the right idea came to him finally and the result was the preparation called Calcura Solvent. The name means @ solvent, or dissolver, of stone, or chalk deposits, in the kidneys or bladder; a remedy for the cure of gravel, and of diseases caused by various toxic or poisonous substances or acids in the blood or glands. Experiment showed that Calcura Solvent would cure red or white gravel without pain or danger to the patient, and expel from the system the uric acid which causes gout and rheumatism If it did no more Dr. Kennedy's discovery would stand as one of the most useful ones in the history of medicine, but it is equally effect i've in complaints of the digestive organs- Itisamedicine for physicians and medicine for the people. Be sure about the name-Cdl- cura Soipent, Dr. Kennedy's new medicine.

che.peninx Carnations.

Do you know why carnations have fallen about 40 per cent in price in the last year or so?" asks a florist quoted by the Philadelphia Record. Tt isn't because they are less popular-they are more popular than they ever were-but 1t Is all on account of little wire ma chine recently invented that costs about 31a cents. This machine may be described as an automatic tree box of steel wire. 1t is couple of feet high and stands upon three legs. AS soon as a carnation begins to grow it is slipped within the machine, and thereafter ward 1t remains upright, for there is series of rings that take hold of it and guide it in its growth. Before the in vention of this device the majority of carnations spoiled because when they became tall they fell over and the flow CTS routed in the dust. Now none of them spells, and hence their present cheapness."

possibility. Then shall be only gospeI peace. Then the American people will not only love the Lord their God with all their hearts, but they shall love their neighbors as themselves. Then the battles of the civil war shall be remembered as the sad result of dis sensions that are no longer settled by the sword, but are submitted to the arbitrament of the Prince of Peace. Then the glory of the Lord shall cover this land as the waters cover the sea, Then the red stripes of the American flag will not be the symbol of an earth ly carnage, but of a Saviour's atone ment.
 Peace upon peace. like wave on wave, This is the portion that we crave; Peace like the rivers gentle How, Peace like the mornings silent glow, From day to day in love supplied, An endless and unebbing tide. Peace flowing on without decrease From him who is our joy and peace; Peace through the night and through the
 day,
 Peace through all the windings of our
 way,
 In earthly toll which may not cease deep and everlasting peace. King of Peace, this peace bestow Upon our country here below: Peace from the Father and the Son, Peace from the Spirit all his own, Peace that shall nevermore be lost, Of Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
