A SPANISH COUNT CURED OF La GRIPPE.

ATEARLY everybody is having Ia
IN grippe again. II resembles some
: what in the beginning a severe
cold. A chill or cold spell is followed by
aching bones, sore throat, headache,
cough, and general weakness. Its course
may bc quite slight or severe, but in
either case it nearly always leaves one
in miserable condition,
Unless Peruna is taken it will be
weeks Or months before person re-
gains his usual health. If the victim is
fortunate enough to begin the use of
Peruna at the commencement of the
attack the course of the grip is much
shortened, and the system is left in q
natural state.
People who have had la grippe, but
are still suffering from the after-effects,
should not neglect to take Peruna, as it
will promptly restore them to health.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug 25.-To-day's stock
market reflected a very determined
demonstration for an advance, but eff
fective operations were confined to a
very limited number of stocks.
The speculation was clearly under
the same auspices as that which orig
mated in Southern Pacific last week
and which was predicated upon the
return to the street of a well-known
speculative leader in boldness and the
dash of to-day's operations were in
dicative of the personal direction of
this leader. The early advance in
Southern Pacific was taken advant-
age of to effect very heavy profit
taking, which completely wiped out
the opening gain. Instead of resum-
ing the campaign immediately in that
stock, ii was shifted to its affiliated
stock, Union Pacific, and to Baltimore

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 25.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm, with prices l to 5
points higher, this being in direct
contrast to the ruling of the English
market which was barely u to III
higher, whereas a rise of 21l points
mad been anticipated as a response to
saturdays firmness here. The local
trade, however, overlooked the cable
news and was influenced by alarming
crop reports from many parts of the
pelt, notably from Texas, where con-
tlnued high temperature and rapid de-
terloration surely did not indicate a
bumper yield. The central and eastern
sections of the belt complained of in
Sufhclent moisture, while the condition
was said to be dropping off day by
DAY with shedding and rust unusually
severe. Soon after the call the bull
element, led by the Wall street oper-
ator SO conspicuous for some time of
late, bid the whole list higher, giving
special attention to the winter options.
Liverpool was obliged to yield little
from It's bearish ideas, and at the close
that market was firm and 2 to 4
points higher. Whereas Europe was

OF the market that a large mass of
securities of very prominent railroad
companies lay practically dormant
throughout the session. and there was
some prominent examples showing net

This Discrimination to follow the bold

the money situation. On Saturday af

closed, the sub treasury was called
upon to transfer 100000. which was
deposited for that purpose to interior
points. To-day 100000 additional was
deposited for this purpose. OF this
amount $750,0OO goes to Chicago and
the rest to New Orleans. New York

discount to-day of 20 cents. This Is
pretty conclusive evidence that the in
terror demand for currency has set In
in force.

The Morning News Office,
Monday, Aug. 25.
No doubt was expressed about strong
nurish influences being at work in to-
dav's cotton markets. Opening strength
started prices upward early, and with
every drop on profit taking came a
rally that brought full recovery.
New York closed 10@19 points above
saturday, and New Orleans points
nm on August and 1907 on other
months. At the closing everything was
renorted as favorable to higher prices.
From all appearances conditions COM
bined to start cotton on the rampage
to-day. Theodore Price stepped in as
q large buyer, and covered the country
with bullish advices and calling upon
his friends to follow him. That they
did so is probable, for fairly good
buying was reported from both the
South and West. Simultaneous with
Prices move came a strong demand
for spot cotton from New England
SINNERS, and the effect of this was
particularly felt in New York, where
many of the contracts for spot cotton
for the east is handled by commission
men, At the ports considerably bet
ter demand was reported.
Crop advices are none too good from
some sections. To-day's telegraphic
accounts tell of damaging conditions in
some sections which are corroborated
by reports to SavSnnah factors.
The naval stores markets closed firm.
Turpentine closed firm at 44%c, and in
good demand. Rosin closed firm at an
advance of sc on and below. The
Wholesale markets closed steady. Re-
