DEAR SIR
| think that every man that has a
team of horses or any stock, ought to
havea bottle of Meyer White Liniment
in the stable or his house. | had a
horse that stepped in a hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off, and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely, and in few days he was to work
again and does not show any signs of
lameness. 1t worked like magic.
Respectfully Yours,
]. A. BARTHAST.

C. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. D. Goth
ran & Co.
New York, May 2S.-That receipts are
too small to permit break in the mar
ket seems beyond question. Today prices
advanced further, the market ruling very
steady all day on light trading. There was
enough demand to absorb offerings and
keep the prices pretty well up to the high
water mark all day. While the demand
was not aggressive enough to bring about
any excitement and no change is looked
for before the government report on
Tuesday, August sold at $40 and July at
S.9S before the close. Liverpool was
steady and spot markets generally con-
tinue firm We do not look for a break at
the moment and can't see how the mar
ket can go down very much on such a
small movement. We would watch the
new crop carefully. The first bad weather
will be the signal for an advance. There
will not be an over-abundance of cotton
on hand in September. September cotton
should be worth more money, and we
would advise buying September or Octo-
Der on every break until after the bureau
report on Tuesday, at all events.

Murphy & Co. Cotton Ietter.

New York, May 28.-Prices for cotton
were to points up In the first hour
Gables were in full response to the few
bullish features in vest erday s bureau re-
port for the week. There was some little
concern because of cooler weather In the
South and there was also talk of too
much moisture In the Northern section of
Texas and northern boundary. In the
absence of really striking features it is
an easy matter to influence the market
by happenings and the cold weather scare
was worked this morning, although 1t
failed to broaden the market to any ma
terial extent. The situation reminds one
of perplexity and uncertainty, one side
being confronted by small receipts and
the other by good progress for the new
crop so far and apathy of spinners. On
the other hand. there Is danger of some
unexpected doings either by Liverpool or
New Orleans during our close on Friday
and Saturday, hence operators on both
sides are extremely cautious.
Rain fell today at Oklahoma and Fort
Smith, and the port receipts were 5000,
against 10, $40 last year. The indifference
of New England mills was ascribed large
ly to leading short interests. who were

New OrIeans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 2S-There was fair
demand for spot cotton today, with buy
ers and sellers apart, but neither side
showed any great desire to give way.
Cables were received from Liverpool re-
porting a decided increase In spinners'
demands for the staple, based upon an
Improvement in the Japan trade. Sales
here today 2250 bales, including $50 to ar
rive. Quotations advanced 1-16c.
In futures there seemed to be a slight
ly better feeling among operators for the
long account, particularly when the new
crop positions are concerned. The open
ing was points up for June and July and
2points up for other positions, but after
the morning call prices advanced a few
points more, closing with net gains of 6
