COTTON NEARLY TOUCHES
'SEVENTEEN-CENT MARK
Better News From Far East Helps to
Cause Another Sensational
Advance.

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Sensational adj
vances in cotton in Liverpool caused a
whirl of excitement when the cotton
market opened here. Advances at the
start ranged from AZ to 81 points. the
last named figure in the June option.
Seventeen-cent cotton was almost
reached, and the bull prediction that
the staple will go to is cents a pound
seems likely 10 be realized.
The bull leader who had brokers in the
pit last night buying the July option at
1918 found himself facing a profit OF
over 50 a bale. The bears were panic
stricken, and helped the advance by
buying all the cotton they could TO
cover short lines.
Better news from the Far East was
largely responsible for the sensational
advance.
The following prices were quoted on
the COTTON market today:

According to the doctors there are

caused by an excess OF Uric acid in the

acid is formed by Uric acid crystals
through faults OF digestion. We can
also tell you that Athlophoros will di-
rectly dissolve Uric acid and drive it
out of the system. 1t corrects errors
of diet, removes the cause OF Rheuna-
