COTTON CLOSES
 AT NET DECLINE Good Demand Was Evident Soon After Opening SALES ARE 100000 BALES Most of the Selling During the Early Session Was Thought to Come
 From Wall Street
 Sources.
SALES ARE 100000 BALES

New York. November 4.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of four points, to an advance of one point, the declines being due to lower cables than expected ana liquidation, while as the call progressed and immediately after it's completion it became evident that there were some pretty good buying or ders
 This demand rallied that market shortly after the opening and January sold up to 10.03, or three points above the best price of the previous day, while the general list showed net gains of from four to five points. But the buying closed out at this level the list turned easier, and during the balance of the session showed de- clining tendency with trading which at first had been active, comparatively quiet. The close was steady though prices were at practically the lowest of the session or net decline of twelve to fourteen points.
 Sales were estimated at 200,O0 bales. The large into sight figures for the week seemed to operate against the mar ket somewhat while the forecast calling for clearer weather over the belt. in place of the recent rains also had tendency to curtail speculation. Most of the sell ing during the early session was thought to come from Wall Street sources. Later in the session New Orleans appeared to be selling here.
 Receipts at the ports today, S1,615 bales against 62,S20 last week, and 61,5S9 last year. For the week, 425,000 bales against 39i7s7 last week and 422l7 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 2026e bales, against 11,s63 last year. and at Houston, 11.594 bales against 22,429 last year.

cothran 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

Such support as the Liverpool market experienced today came principally from America, and this was not sufficient to give an entirely satisfactory answer to our advance of yesterday.
 Speculation was light with the prin- cipal operators inactive, but the conti- nent bought to a limited extent.
 Options closed 5 points higher than yesterday and spots advanced 2 points Our early trading was limited in extent and on a slightly lower basis which was further reduced by the unexpectedly large estimate for the weekly movement
 Trading was characterized by an ab- sence of aggressiveness by either sellers or buyers, and dull market resulted.
 The finally lower prices of the day are most directly attributable to the contin- ued large movement as shown by the weekly statement, and the absence of speculative support.
 Spinners will observe reluctance in in- creasing their supplies on markets ad- vanclng with unusual rapldlty and the reaction of the day was to be expected after the recent gains.
 We think, however, with the present doubts as to the crops size, purchases on declines will yield the best returns.

Good News From Minnesota.

Lakefeld, Mimi, Jan. 4.-Mr. Will
liam e. Gentry Of this place is one OF
the best known and most highly re-
spected men in Jackson county. For
% years he has suffered with Kidney
Trouble, and now at II years of age he
has found a complete cure and is well.
His cure is remarkable because Of
the length Of time he had been suffer-
ing. Cases of 40 years standing might
be considered incurable, but the rem
edy that cured Mr. Gentry seems to
know no limit to it's curative power.
Mr.. Gentry says:

Peruna Is known from the Atlantic to ths
Pacific. Letters of congratulation and com
uendation testifying to the merits of Pc
una as a catarrh remedy are pouring in
rom every State in the Union. DR.. Hart
nan is receiving hundreds of such letter,
laily. All ella ses write these letters, from
he highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor artisan,
he clerk, the editor, tn. statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Peruna is the ca
iarrh remedy of the age. Tho stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
sst enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
heir praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well nigh universal; almost omnipressnt.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
Known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
TO prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
eatarrh out of its victims. Peruna not
only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and SO
forth.

admirer OF Peruna. He keeps it continu-

Chicago, Jan. 6. - 1t will be, for
some weeks at least, practically ina

churches. Building Commissioner
Williams last night issued an order
closing all public halls, dance halls,
and turnverein halls and ail similar
places Of public assemblage until an
inspection has shown that they are
complying with all provisions Of the
building ordinance.
AS there are upward Of 400 halls in
Chicago, ranging in size from those
that will accommodate 50 persons up
to these with a seating capacity Of 500.
This order will affect probably as
many persons as the theater closing
order. Protests were numerous. but
