Cotton Letter

Raleigh, n. c.. March 2S-The market
broke about as rapidly today as it adj
vanced ON Saturday. From 1850 the price
went to Ass before the end of the first
hour this morning. The market lost 40
points while you watched it. This was
the way it went Up. Over 15c there does
not seem to be the right basis to the mar
ket. Everything is strong as far as fig
ures go, but-and there is the all import
ant thing-Fpinners do not seem anxious
to get the cotton. They are not willing
to pay over 1415c. We are not saying
what they may do tomorrow or next day.
We simply say there is not the demand
for cotton at 15c to keep the future mar
ket safe, For this reason we cannot feel
safe in advising buying on such advances
rs we have had. A gain of &c in few
days is a pretty good advance. We should
have a setback But from the outlook
and from the knowledge of the past it
would seem as though there would hard
~ be much of a break below 14Ac this
time. There are too many ready to take
cotton at these figures. May sold at IA Ga
this morning, pretty near a safe level. If
July were down there we would be in
cined to say buy" On any good break
below 15c now, there should be 10 great
will begin to look very small before the
first of May or June or we will lose our
guess. The market for cotton futures
"l"sed quiet and steady

a heavy load OF selling orders. From
the direction from which they came, the
selling orders appeared to be for short
account. There was no question that the
New Orleans market was out of parity
with both the New York and Liverpool
markets and this condition doubtless as
sisted largely in the break that followed
the opening. Prices went down full

reached on the long side and prices went

Yankton, S. D., Aug. 15.-C. H. Bates,
Jr., a member of the Gregory County Lo-
eating company, returned today from
Bonesteel where he has been engaged in
locating the lucky ones in the great Rose
bud lottery He says there is still a guam
tity of first-clasS land not taken. This is
due partly to the fact that landseekers
have been alarmed by reports that they
would be swindled by the locating agents
and have done their own locating, and
partly to the fact that not all the lucky
ones have filed.
Out Of the first 400 there were 371 who
made entries. Those who have failed to
file sought to get rich quick at the expense
of the government. They never intended
to farm the land and when they found they
had drawn not a fortune but farm they
refused to come to the mark. There Is
still large number of good claims.

drew a claim, found his mother who had

This novel treatment for catarrh
consists of a hard rubber inhaler of a
size convenient to be carried in the
vest pocket or purse, medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. BY
its use it is possible to breathe while
at home or at work, air which is al
most identical with that of the noun
tains or health resorts where the air
is laden with healing and health
giving balsams.
No other medicine gives such
prompt relief as Hyomei in the treat
ment of catarrh. The first breath
sootfes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and it's regular
use for a few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn cases.

You run no risk whatever in buying
Hyomei, for your word decides the
question as to whether you pay for
the remedy or not.

Eveleth, Mimi, Aug. 15.-Mining activi-
ties are normal here at present. The
Fayal is shipping from stockplle and the
Adams and Spruce mines are working
stockpile also Drake & Stratton have
stopped one steam shovel for the season
and are working the other two double
shifts Of twelve hours each. The Burt

and is making daily shipments of $4,000
tons. 1t is an open pit and employs la
men. Winston-Deer company of Mime
apolis have the stripping contract. They
employ 210 men, This firm did the strip
ping at the Mahoning also.
The Rust mine opened the season with
$1,000 tons in stockpile and $50 men are
employed there. The Penobscot is so To-
Gated as to drain the other mines, hence
1t Is very wet property. It's timbers and
pumps are being raised and no shipments
are being made. The Sellars mine has
100000 tons of ore in stockpile, which Will
be removed this season. 1t employs 125
men. Some $4,000 tons of ore are In
stockple at the Day mine. At the Clark

lively carried on The ore is shipped out
as fast as it is raised. Two shafts are
working double shifts. A stockpile OF
125. 900 tons Is not being touched.

of ore ready to be mined when needed.
Drake 81 Stratton are doing the stripping.
The Pillsbury, one Of the Oldest mines In
the Efybbing district, has shipped S95,1SS
tons in the last four years. The stockplle

work. The Duluth mine is shipping ore
at the rate of 5000 tons a day. The BiWa-
blk mine. one Of the first discovered or
the range, is sending out large quantity
of ore. 1t produced S07, 511 tons last year
and will probably equal that amount this
year. The Hale and Kanawak mines are
idle. The Holland mine, owned by Swal-
low Hopkins, is in readiness to ship
when called for.
The La Belle mine at Elba has just beer
closed for the season. The surface mer
