 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 6.-The cotton trade was treated to an amusing surprise today in the nature of news that, New Yorks promi- nent operator who had recently advised the South not only to dispose of its spot cotton. but to hedge the prospective production with sales for future delivery at the best prices then obtainable, had undertaken last night to cable Liverpool impressing upon spinners the advisability of purchasing all require ments for the near future without delay. assuming that present prices were low enough by comparison with the average of the three preceding years. It is doubtful If this ad- vice had any effect abroad. The English mar ket showed a tendency to improve yesterday is quite natural that the improvement shoul1 have lasted today. There very little dis position here to force issues either side. Those taking a favorable view of the situa- tion have in mind the possible effect of free early offerings if the trade demand Is deGr cient. while those taking opposite view of outlook are constrained to go slow on account of the steady resistance that the market has shown to any pressure. Closing quotations are 4G7 points lower than yesterday. The sta tistioal position Is without doubt distinctly favorable to advocates of better prices and a glance at he visible supply with its steady losses each week should impress one with the possibilities of the case if any serious accident occurred to the crop That sentiment con- tinues to lean decidedly to the bear side goes without saying, but unless offerings of new cotton assume extensive proportions and the movement swells accordingly. Commitments on the short side may be only effected with exceeding moderation. Thus the attitude of the country in disposng of its cotton will have much to do with regulating the price.

25. 900 greater than last year. Taken in con- nection with the fact that the crop Is not yet made. that the weather developments between now and Nov. l. st may cut of the crop ma teriaily and further that mills everywhere who have adopted a policy of precaution will be compelled to buy later on. 'he Liverpool situation is interpreted quite bullish. Early prices today 2d6 points better. Little rain was reported early in the day. A specu- lator who has been covering on an iminen~. scale the past week having withdrawn frc the short side and talking in a quite different tune had little effect in the market The trade is independent of this fact, being al ready disposed to adopt A conservat.ce course and lend support to the bull side for a while The New York stock in warehouse was re- duced to 7500o bales. Indications of an increased movement at interior points scared weak holders while export firms talk ing rather bulish. The in-eight movement for the week was 35, SOP bales. Total to date. TO- 3O5 362

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug 9.-In sympathy with Liverpoos improvement. our market opened s points up August and ld2 the other months. subsequently, advanced 4@5 additional on the latter owing to a bullish circular from the prominent Wall Street operator. hitherto prom mdgatlng very bearish proragandas. but vfose constant buying for the Tast five days the cause of the recent enhancement Of values in spite of very favorable crcp reports and free receipts of new cotton in the after noon, continued selling on good crop prospects held out the entire improvement and resulted in additional decline of 4I5 points, the market closing at the lowest The purchases today of the aforesaid operator were esti- mated at 30 900 to 40 900 bales and 1t is the general impression that he has either GOV cred h's shorts entirely or is now long of the market With the exception of Oklahoma, which reported scattered showers, the rest of the belt experienced fair weather. but sundry showers predicted this afternoon and to- morrow for entire cotton district. The visible supply lost 30, 900 bales, against loss of I23 900 last year. Of which the loss in Ameri- can was o2. 900. against lo6. 900. With the short interest largely eliminated, which leaves the market without this sustaining influence. prices will be governed by weather conditions and receipts of new cotton.

S0FTCORE:

Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere.
 The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat.
 Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil.
 For pale school. girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion IS a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work.

For three weeks my life was de- spaired of and finally when the fever left noe was so weak that it was a month before could sit up in a chair. The ravages of the fever left me a physical wreck. My blood was impov- erished and looked like a corpse. I had not the slightest inclination for food, in fact the thought of eating fill ed me with disgust. I was listless and tired. The tonics prescribed by my physician did not strengthen me.

| THE CROPS.
 Most of the tobacco raisers in thi.
 vicinity who had not before placed
 their crop under cover, finished the gathering of same, last week. Some crops are always late in certain local ities but the cool evenings of last week warned all that frost may be expected soon. And to be safe the to bacco crop is better on the poles after l September 10. The corn crop now seems the least secure and uncertain The warm weather of the first week o1 September seemed to bring the croI towards maturity more than the month of August had done, but it is feared there will be a considerable amount of soft ears unfit for the mill or meal barrel.
 Several of the cottages about Lake side will close, this week, for the sea. son. The Misses Boa rdman and G. M Breinig and family will return to their home in New Milford. The family of J. w. Mooney will return to Brooklyn, N. Y., and MT and Mrs T. J. Blakes- ley will return to their New York City residences, which closes at least four cottages by Lake Waramaug for the winter.
 The New Milford fair, this week, engages the minds, attention and pres ence of the usual humber of our citi- zens and on their return, all seem satisfied with the exhibits and the varied amount of entertainment found there.
