CONSUMPTION IS CONTAGIOUS.

The Board Of Health. In the war upon
consumption, has prohibited expectoration
In public places. The poisonous oonsump-
tive germ arises from the drying expectora-
ton, floats In the air and is breathed into
the lungs OF healthy persons, so that the
enforcement OF the above law will do much
toward preventing the spreading Of con-
sumption.
Som years ago II was discovered that tu-
berculine will kill the germs OF consump-
ton, and ut that time many physicians used
1t by Injecting II into the skin OF oonsump:-
tive patients. This method. however. proved
unsatisfactory because II was n roundabout
way TO reach the lungs. and besides the tn
berculine had 30 undergo a chemical change
in the circulation. SO that Its strength was
lost by the time It reached the diseased
parts OF the lungs.

attention to solving the problem OF a prac,
teal use of tubercuhne. whereby 1t should
reach the lungs by a direct route.
He accomplished this by tn use OF his

far this week. At the same time e.71c
was top two weeks ago, 1888 last week,
and we may have more of rise be-
fore Saturday. The upward level, as
we'll as the low figures, show that the
present market is not a declining one.
On each break it fails to go as low as
on the preceding one. This means a
short seller has got to play cautiously
while a buyer is allowed a little less
caution until the course of things
changes. The market to-day was not
different from these of last week. A
few buyers came in and carried Octo-
Der from $500 to 975c without much
difficulty. There could be trouble
made in October cotton if any one
wanted TO make trouble. Don't be
short October. There is only $4,000
bales of cotton here to do business on.
No one knows when some trader may
buy a lot of October to liven things up
a bit. News was all right. It's not a
question of news so much as the small
supply of contracts 1t is easy to put

that about loo, 986 bales Of old crop

HAYWARD, WICK & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.


New York, 27.-Just as has been the
case for weeks back, the news is bear
ish. crop accounts leaving little to be
desired, a good weather map promising
their immediate continuance, poor
trade accounts looking for a greatly
reduced requirement in the immediate
future, large receipts due to the clean
ing up of old crop cotton preparatory
to the new crop movement and con-
tinued uneasiness over the Russian
Japanese situation as bearing on Eu-
ropean politics.
The Southern mill men decide. we
are told, to work on rs per cent. time
during August and September. AS part
of the mills were running on less than
this the decision means a slight in
crease, which, however, is more than
offset by the curtailments in New
England from strike and other causes.
Philadelphia mill men say they cannot
increase their production owing to
light demand, and stocks on hand. Mr..
Price. we are informed, is to issue a
crop report in a day or so showing an
average condition of 91S per cent. 1t
seems singular, but nine out of ten
floor brokers will tell you that Mr..
Prices buying is chief support of mar
ket. We don't pretend to know Mr..
Prices intentions. but the news is GER
tainly against any advance at this
time and such as to favor sales on such
bulges as that of this morning. We
think the present support will soon be
withdrawn.
