Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Aug An imposing
show of strength resulted from today's
trading in stocks. The news of the
day was pretty favorable in it's gen
cral tenor and covered crop conditions
and prospects. railroad earnings and
traffic. demand for anthracite, large
orders for all classes of steel products
and sustained ease in the money mar
ket. Reports were specific of the
very large orders being placed for iron
and steel products, some of the mills
refusing as it was said, to consider
new business except for shipment late
in the year of next year as they are
already oVercroWded with work. The
iron and steel industrials gave evil
dence of organized support and moved
as though speculative party had en-
barked in q campaign for higher
prices. The United States Steel stocks
did not make the widest movements,
but their inclusion IN the movement
ha dan important sentimental IN
huence on the general list. The corn
erangers were relatively backward,
owing to the comparatively small
movement of that grain and the criti-
cal period yet to be passed FOR its ma
turity. The Southern railroads enjoy
ed advance in concert, without regard
10 the poorer outlook for cotton.
The placing of all three classes of Cen
trail of Georgia income bonds on the
interest bearing list was regarded as
highly significant of the expansion of
earning power of railroad properties
in that territory. There was some
profit-taking late in the day but pric es
recovered again and the closing was
strong and quite active. There was a
large demand for United States Steel
second SIS. The movement of prices
in the general bond list was slightly
irregular but mostly strong. Totai
sales (par Value) $4.1S2,000.
United States bonds were all lin-
changed on call.

New York, Aug. IA very large
number of western and southern mer-
chants visited the dry goods market
today Many of them did not make
purchases. hut simply took a prelim-
mary look around. They are finding
cotton goods scarce and high. so much

the market will go higher before it
goes lower. The jobbers expect to do
a heavy business this week.
New York Cotton.
New York. Aug. 1.-THE cotton
market was quiet and while somewhat
Irregular, steady in the main, with
final prices showing a slight net gain.
The opening was quiet at a decline
of 1D3 points under local bear pres
sure and scattering liquidation. There
were no Liverpool cables, and the
weather map, aside from indicating
continued dry conditions in the South
west made d generally favorable show
ing, SO that there was comparatively
little support. After slightly increas-
ing the initial loss, however. the mar
ket rallied Cn reports of high tempera-
lures more or less generally over the
belt. and hot winds in Texas, in con-
nection with private wires, claiming
very firm southern spot holders. To-
ward the close, realizing by early buy
ers, eased prices off or 5 points from
the top. but the final tone was steady
at a net advance of 609 points. Sales
estimated at $50, 1000 bales. Southern
spot markets were unchanged to Is
higher, according to official reports,
and the local spot market was ad-
vanced 10 points.
Receipts at the ports today S,911

and .003 last year. Receipts for the
week are estimated at $4,000 bales,

has been better time to buy cotton
this season and many of the bears are
evidently making an effort to get on

day, that leading operators there pre-

u SORES

Wheeling, w. Va, May 2S, 1903.
Some years ago while at work, 1 fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. It's effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tire1y cure up the sores, and / am not
dead as the doctors intimated nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some "a
years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

to suggest certain candidates for

the meeting held in Columbia last
