BUSINESS i'm New Orleans.

The following excerpts from Dun's
Review of Dec. 10, showing general
and n arket conditions at New Orleans,
will prove of interest:
General Conditions-Trade in dry
goods, notions and hats is of moder-
ate proportions. In groceries, provi-
sions and other lines the movement of
merchandise is good. Inform alton
from all parts of the state indicates
that the yield Of sugar will be the
largest for many years and prices re-
ceived therefor are fully Is per cent
above the average of last year. The
work of harvesting the crop is pro-
crossing under the most favorable
auspices, and the yield of the cane
both ia tonnage and sugar contents is
very gratifying. Manufacturers of fur
niture and other woodworking plants
are doing large business. Retail
trade has materially improved, owing
to more seasonable weather. Collec-
tions are holding we'll, notwithstand-
ing the disposition of farmers and in
terror merchants to mold their cotton.
Cotton-There was heavy decline
in both futures and Spots at the close
of last week after the issuance of the
estimate of the agricultural bureau,
the market for time being badly
demoralized and practically without
support. The decline continued into
the present week, but later reacted
some and closes fairly steady at an
advance Of from twenty five to thirty
points over the lowest quotations.
Holders of cotton have not been dis
posed to sell freely at present prices,
and quotations for spot cotton have
been marked up half cent. Receipts
OF cotton at all ports were 1926, 578
bales, against 4,2o5,325 last year.
Stocks at all ports are 995, 1877 bales,
against 945, 1907 last year.
Sugar-Receipts Of sugar from plan
tations continue on liberal scale,
but the market is very firm and prices
received are very satisfactory. Mo-
lasses and syrups are quiet, with
fairly liberal offerings. Refined sugars
are quies at unchanged figures.
Rice-The Louisiana crop movement
to date is recorded by Dan Talmage's
Sons as follows: Receipts, 1,105, 585
sacks rough, against 1853, 40 last
year, while sales of 662, 128 pockets
cleaned compare with 65l, 497 in 1908.

The young mother thinks, when she has
completed the baby garments that are to
clothe the little form But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many a
young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why it was
not possible to prepare in some way for
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost uncomfortable
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures of maternity. It prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suffer. It strengthens the whole
body, SO that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. It promotes healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. It gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless
Healthy mothers have healthy children,
and It is the general testimony of those
who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
aud happier than those born after
months of mental misery and physical
anguish on the part of the prospective
mother

consult DR.. Pierce by letter absolutely
without fee or charge As chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and

suffering.

Federation to Visit Cripple Creek
and Look Into the Affair.

Denver, Colorado, June 6-The
Western Federation Of Miners will in.
vestigate the dynamite outrage at Grip
pie Creek at the session of the Feder-
atoms convention today. A commit
tee of three was appointed to go to the
Cripple Creek district and make q
thorough investigation of the whole al
fair and to spare no one in its repo =.
The committee which was sent to Grip
pie Creek last week to report IN con
dtions there, reported to the corven-
ton today. The report says that the
mine owners admit that they are rot
getting anything like the returns they
did before the strike. The committee
found that a great many men Were en-
plOyed. almost as many as before the
strike on some of the properties, but
the returns were not nearly So large
proportionally. The miners are deter
mined to stand firm and the committee
could suggest no change in the polio!
which had been pursued.
BY unanimous vote Salt Lake was
chosen for the place of the next con
vention to be held beginning the
fourth Monday in May. 1905. Denver
was selected as the permanent head
quarters of the Federation.

A Long Procession Marched Through
the Streets of the City Yesterday.
Ceremonies Dienified and I'm
pressive.

The annual festival of Corpus Chris
ii was celebrated here yesterday with
the usual dignity and ceremony. the
congregations of both the Guadalupe
Church and the Cathedral participant
ing in the celebration which was
largely attended. The streets about
the Cathedral were packed with peO-
those to whom the celebration was
novel. Immediately after mass was
said at the Cathedral at $3.50 o'clock,
the procession formed. 1t was beau
tiful sight; the girls clothed in white
and wearing white wells. filed down the
steps. two and two. They ranged in
size from young women to tots four
or five years of age, and each bore a
basket of rose leaves which were to be
scattered in front of the altars.
The procession headed by the cross
bearers and acolytes marched up Col
lege Street as far as the river then
followed the left bank of the river to
Delgado Street, thence on Delgado
Street to Palace Avenue, thence west
on Palace Avenue to Cathedral Place.
There were two very handsome altars
on this route, one at the Delgado resi-
dence on Delgado Street and the other
lat the Sena block on Palace Avenue.
These altars were embowered in roses
and flowers and were adorned with
costly furniture and fine religious pic
lures At each of these altars the pro-
cession stopped in order to give time
for the benedictions said by the bishop
and the participating clergy.
The procession yesterday was one of
the largest that has ever celebrated
Corpus Christi and the younger as well
as the elder participants in the cere.
monies seemed impressed with the sol
emnity of the occasion and acted with
a dignity which was most becoming.
