"AHoW me 10 express my graft

A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their

thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome theirprejudice against so call
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal

medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause Of one

M. c. Gee, NJ. d.
Catarrh is 3 systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at

what Peruna does.

appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

Declines Of the Day

New York. May 13.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline OF
l TO points, which was better show
ing than had been expected in view
of very disappointing cables. There
was liquidation at first and some bear
pressure, but it was evident that the
initial losses in addition to the de.
clines of the previous day were suffi-
cient to attract a good demand from
shorts covering, and there also ap-
peared to be considerable buying foI
July for the account of spot houses
At any rate the market soon after
the opening rallied to within a point
or two, either way, of yesterdays
finals with the new crop showing re-
lative firmness on the rather unfa
vorable weather, which showed rain
and cool weather in the western bell
where dry hot weather is believed tC
be needed. while there was con-
ltinued absence of moisture along the
Atlantic coast. The recovery was
helped also by reports that som,
5000 bales would be exported out
of the local stock tomorrow. Liver
pool did not at first rally in response
to the relative firmnesS of the Local
market, but later advanced quite rap
idly as a result, according to private
cables of a better demand from May

Around midday the prices dropped

expected, but were rallied again in
the early afternoon by further COW

sold off few points on room liqui-
dation and was finally quiet net l tC

between the highest and lowest. Sales
were estimated at 1885, 900 bales.

were in high good humor. Offerings

yesterday. During the entire session
the market showed a steady under,

derfully well. Bears were more conf

July. They freely predicted that the
option would soon go to twelve cents

to go TO that level is not quite clear il
