VIRGIN & FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER


NEW YORK, July 27.-Cotton futures in
the local market opened quietly and steady,
though there was an irregular tendency. Be-
lated shorts were buyers of July cotton and
that option sought better level in conse-
quence. August cotton was lower early in
the day and the new crop positions were in
clined to be bearish account of dissap-
pointing cables from the English market
The crop futures a whole were quite en-
couraging, while the poor cloth trade ad-
vices on account of the strike situation
served to encourage belief in the arguments
regarding restricted consumption. The of
ferings as the day wore on decreased
somewhat and the market developed into a
rather narrow rut, which eventually brought
about tendency on the part of many in
terests to hold off pending fresh develop
ments. On the better levels there was a
more pronounced tendency to hold off than
on the dips. The private kilograms from
various parts OF the belt were Indicative of
a favorable outcome for the crop as a
whole and the Texas reports told of picking
being under way with the yield fully up to
expectation Mild weather conditions all
over the belt were considered quite favor
able, and the Southern houses were conse-
quently inclined to be little bearish on
the outlook. The spot markets were steady
and quiet with a small demand and light
offerings.

SECURING YOUR SCALP.
Will Remove the Loose Dandruff Scales
But 1t Won't Cure Dandruff.


If your hair is brittle and thinning, you
have dandruff The mere securing of
the scalp of the loose scales, won't cure
dandruff because dandruff is nothing
but scales of scalp being thrown up by
pestiferous little germ in burrowing
it's way to the root of the hair where it
saps the vitality, causing falling hair
and, in time, badness. Now you can't
stop dandruff nor falling hair, nor pre-
vent badness unless you destroy that
germ; and the only preparation that can
do it is the new scientific discovery,
Newbro's Herpicide. In fact no other
ha:g preparation claims to kill the dam
dru,i gernl-all of them will clean the
scalp: soap and water will do that, but
only Newbro's Herpicide gets at the root
of the trouble and kills the dandruff
germ. Sold by leading druggists. Send

eide Co., Detroit, Mich.
