the United States. During my long life 1
have known a great many remedies for
coughs. colds. catarrh and diarrhoea. 1
had always supposed these affections to be
different diseases. For the last ten or
fifteen years l have been reading DR..
Hartman's books and have learned from
them one thing in particular That these
affections are the same and that they are
properly called catarrh.
'As for Dr.. Hartman's S remedy. Peruna,
/ have found it to be the best if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.
1t has been my standby for many
years and attribute my good health

remedy.
1t exactly meets all my requirements.

for the many little things for which need

valuable to old people. although have no

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
GOOD lone OF Market Continues-Deangs Fairly Active,

Running From Fractions to Three Points.

NEW YORK, June 800 a. m.-The
opening market was fairly active and
dealings were well distributed. Prices
were higher. with only a few unimpor-
tant exceptions. but as a rule the ad-
vance in the international list did not
equal LOndcn's figures. The largest
gains in that list were y in Atchison.
Baltimore and Ohio, and Southern Paci-
fic. Reading did not hold its q gain.
II a. m.-The first hour OF busi-
ness was marked by decided strength
and activity, while the specula-
tive interest was more varied and
extended than in n long time. Lon
don again was a stimulating factor,
sending higher quotations and following
with buying orders here. The bull SEN
timent was encouraged by weakness in
cotton and grain markets and by much
more encouraging advices regarding the
crop situation.
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
made fractional advances. but Norfolk
and Western opened up 11s. and made
slight further progress. The rise in

COTTON CROP OUTLOOK
NOT ENCOURAGING
Chief Entomologist Howard's Report on
the Situation.

Chief EntomoIogist L. o. Howard. Of
the Agricultural Department, has re-
turned from a trip through Texas.
where he went TO examine the cotton
crop. He states that the outlook IS
discouraging because Of heavy en-
croachments and the ravages OF the
boil weevil.
Preliminary reports from New Or
leans also show that there Is a re-
markable decrease in the visible supply
OF cotton. On June 26 the visible sup
ply in America was only 1,194. .694 bales.
as compared with 1,65O, ,O53 bales at the
same time last year. 1t is thought that
a part of this decrease Of visible sup
ply is due TO the operations OF the bull
faction on the New York Cotton Ex-
change.
1t is admitted by the Agricultural
Department officials that the time has
come for the Government 70 take some
action to prevent a general decrease in
the cotton supply.

hearing of dissatisfaction among some
OF the workingmen who had subscribed
for the preferred stock at 50. have
planned a campaign in the stock with
the purpose of carrying 1t well beyond
the subscription price and holding II
there. II is said Mr.. Morgan himself is
much impressed with Mr. Carnegie's
criticism of the plan, to the effect that
whenever the price receded below the
