NEW YORK. May 2e.-The cotton market opened firm at a decline of 2 points to ad vance of | points, the decline being confined to the spot option.

 tSlyer Private IAased Wiral


 NEW YORK May 2e--There was . modcr- ately active trade in the cotton pit today. though there was a lack of the rush and ex- cftement which has been SO conspicuous in the market during the past few weeks. The Liv- crpool advices were more satisfactory, though the movement of cotton generally continued quite substantial and the weather map con- tinued to note conditions which are still work ing to the best interests of the gro wing crop The trade in general today came from a greater number of sources than for some time past Europe. the South and the commission houses bought the last months quite freely at times the theory that the weekly crop report would make a builish showing. The bureau re- port stated that the crop situation on the whole was more favorable. however. and inti- mated that the lateness was being overcome in some sections of the belt. The New Or leans market. however. led the local list. in that the bull leader made a bid of l2c for 20. 900 bales of August cotton. He got very little cotton, and while his action was cred ited with being a blun in effort to feel the lay of the 1and 1t did the work-that of creating a bullish feeling. The late market was rather nervous. though there was but little excitement. The general run of news efectng the spot market unchanged though prices for spot locals were some what easier. The late market showed dis position on the part of many interests to hold off pending a clearer idea as to the inten- tions of the New Orleans bull crowd. On the close opinions were rather conducting.

 NEW YORK. May 26.-The feature of the day was the comparative strength in the new crop months and the absence of strength in July; that Is, while July ruled only slightly over yesterdays figures. October sold up to 9.62 and held most of the advance through out the day, The weekly report was decidedly more favorable than the majority had antici- pated. but the showing did not seem to bring about as much liuiqdation and bear hammer Ing as might have been expected at the pres ent level. Two three very shrewd operators sold out the Fall positions, not caring to be caught long at ehc pound at this season of the year. There was more or less pressure in July, partly as a result of accumulation of the cotton at this center. The bull party in May will have considerably over i60, 900 bales to turn July and the supply of cot ton in New Orleans is even larger than this It means that Mir. Brown will have to finance a deal involving over 300 900 bales of cotton and little figuring shows how much money a deal of this kind will require. We would not undertake the buying of cotton at the present long

NEW ORLEANS, May 26.-Spot cotton was in fair demand. but factors are offering but little at present prices. Some of them express the belief that cotton will go to 3 cents per pound.

Realizing sales created what offering there was. The market showed a great deal of strength. It was the general ex- pectation that the weekly Government report would be decidedly bullish and as usual trad CTS started in to discount its effects should the report be read. The report however. was not at all sensational and its reading caused scarcely a ripple bout the ring During the day July sold up to l2 5o August l2. Sep tember 10 36.

Many families that number dyspep-

taking what might be termed the
toast cure, toast being substituted for
bread at every meal. In many cases
the good results have been rapid. A
woman of my acquaintance has been
steadily improving, with fewer and
fewer attacks of indigestion, since
her doctor recommended this simple
experiment. However, the toast
made in the ordinary way, that is
soggy within and scorched outside,
will not benefit.
The bread must be thoroughly
dried out in the oven before toasting,
then brought to a golden brown. Per-
haps more than one dyspeptic suffer

soggy bread. Even second day

(properly made) does not cause a
sluggish state of the system or work

severely than any others from the
bites of mosquitoes. The surgeon.
general instituted series of tests.
He had boxes painted with various
colors and placed in mosquito
haunted neighborhood. 1t was found
that the one painted blue attracted
108 insects, next came brown and
dark red, but these attracted only
two each. Yellow failed to secure

sequence, blue shirts will no longer
