COTTON MARKET
 OPENED EASY Sold a Little Lower on Poor
 Cable News TOO MUCH RAIN REPORTED By Renewed Realizing the Market Was Finally Quiet, With Prices Net Un- changed to Decline of
 Seven Points.
TOO MUCH RAIN REPORTED

New York, May 2s.-The cotton market opened easy at decline of to Il points under rather disappointing cables and sold still little lower. reaching a level of to 15 points below the closing of yesterday, with July selling at 11.os, Au- gust at 1O.5S and September at s.s7. AL most immediately, however. the market was rallied sharply under too much rain reported in Oklahoma, small port re- ceipts for the day and unfavorable pri- vate estimates of crop conditions which placed the average condition at about 10 per cent compared with s1.9 per cent compiled from practically the same sources at this date last year
 The same authority places the increase in acreage at s-1O of per cent. This ex- cited fresh apprehensions as to the pro- bable showing of the government re- port on June and shorts covering, July sold up to 11.26. August to 10.67 and Sep tember to 10. .06. Then came period of irregularity with fluctuations generally unimportant and prices ranging from about 1 to points under Thursdays close. Speculation was very quiet and the trading was largely of an evening up character in view of the approaching holidays with the prospect of Liverpool closing on Monday and also on June D and 6. In the last hour there was lit- tie more activity and some further cov- ering which rallied prices to about the best of the day, but this was followed by renewed realizing and the market was finally quiet at unchanged prices to de- cline of points. Total sales of futures estimated at 100000 bales. rort receipts today, SO5S against 5140 bales last year. Estimates for leading points tomorrow moderate.

 Well, I've had jumping neuralgia since o'clock this morning, if that's what you want to know. But that's not the trouble The trouble is that I've been walking about the streets with it since daylight"
 But the streets are no place for you" protested Snuggins, If you have neuralgia. You ought to stay home" That's ali you know about it" snarled Buggins. Homes no place for me when I'm sick"
 "Why, your wife used to be trained nurse"
 Exactly. She can give me the best attention-from a medical standpoint. She knows just what ought to be done and does it. But there the matter ends. Sympathy's what want, and that she won't give to any sick man. She says she wouldn't have been a good nurse if she hadn't got rid of her sympathy in the first year of her training. She is always well herself and can't appre- ciate what pain is. Go homef Not Philadelphia Press.

The New Cult or Baccnu..

Instead of dosing an8mic children, oi adults, either, with bottle after bottle of tinctures of iron, give your family fresh grapes in abundance for break fast, to the exclusion of any other food but a small quantity of the simplest; require sufficient exercise in the open air between meals; serve in the eveninl grape marmalade, soutiie or float, all made with the least sugar possible. and after few weeks of this regimen you will find red blood beginning to mantle the hitherto pale cheeks. But keep il up. The grape season is long. At the height of it, when you can buy a peck basket of fresh, bloomy Concords or Iveses for 20 cents even in the city, then set about preparing for winter and spring. Something far better and far more valuable than the common do nestle wines or even those of con- merce can be made from the few bush els you may feel yourself able to in vest in if you have no vineyard.
 Substitute this nutrient tonic, dilut cines and other superfiuous drugs; dis place coffee and tea with it, even dis place poor milk-and the grape juice made at home is cheaper than the cheapest; give it to anamic children when they cry for bread and butter be tween meals or fret for candies and cake at any time.
 Try this new cult of Bacchus for the present year: at least, and l am per suaded that you will never forsake or turn away from it, says Table Talk writer.
