hibiting the performance of surgical operations

ADvANcEs1N COTTON GOODS.

The condition of the general cotton
market is reflected in the milling stu
atien. Even those who are prone to
l8ok on the bright side of matters
generally shake their heads when the
cotton goods market is mentioned.
Many dealers anticipated the present
high price and bought freely before
the rise But those who are now plac-
ing orders for spring goods find it al
most impossible to get orders booked.
Even when orders are taken it is at an
average advance of % per cent. A
year ago spot middling was selling for
about eight and one-quarter cents; it
is now twelve and three-eighths cents,
an advance of so per cent. With this
price for raw cotton spinners cannot
afford to run their mills, for when the
new crop comes in cotton Will be lower,
and the mills would have on hand lot
of goods made from raw cotton pur-
chased at price higher than the fin
ished product will then be bringing.
September cotton is now selling for
about 10a cents, against r. cents at this
date last year. Even when the new
crop cotton comes in 1t is not proba-
bic that the mills will be started up at
once. There must be first an adjust
ment between the prices of the raw
material and that of the finished pro-
ducts. The present cessation OF mill
operations naturally has tendency to
increase the prices of the finished pro-
ducts, but in order for the mills to re-
sumo operations the adjustment must
be permanent one. Should the
representation of an early frost
prove true, the already short crop
would be so much reduced that the
coming in of new cotton would result
in little relief for the situation, and in
that event the local market would soar
skyward

drea led disease that science has been
able TO cure in all it's stages ana that is
Oatarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
