end figures than expected and reports
that high grades were commanding big
premiums in the south. Covering.
in fact, seemed the chief source OF
support and the offerings by Wall
street bears, n selling by one or
two commission houses with southern
connections were sufficient to offset
this, with the result that the market
ruled steady during the early session
at prices a little under the initial fig
ures. Both spot and futures closed
steady.

Little Girls Obstinate Case of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura-LittIe Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
Of Torturing Sores - Grateful
Mother Saysi
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter I write YOU
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last wear.
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was SO well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tlrely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura REM
edles her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
mas Deen no recurrence Of the trouble.
In July OF this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
Amounted them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
hesolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Suticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
y costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
