WHAT ovERwoRK REALLY MEANS.

What long story is condensed in that word,
which Mrs. Frye in her letter-as If "over-
work matter of course.
How many persons stop to realize that cover
sufficient for the duties of the day-the work has
probably been more than a normally healthy per-
could do with ease.
Instead of calling it "over-worB" it would be truer
to speak of it as-"Under-yitality"
Remember your ngth is not in your musces-
the muscles simply work when the nerve force tells
them to. Even your brain does not work by itself
the substance in your brain cells depends getting
energy with which to do its work; and this energy
is force-the great power-oflife that
actuates every function of the body.
Every form of weakness, sickness or disease,
results from lack OF the strong nerve force which
should keep the organs working properly.
When one speaks of ga good constitution"
simply means Sound, strong nerve system
When the nerve system is not strong and we'll
nourished it follows inevitably that is easily
"overworked"-eas. Jun down-just as Mrs. Frye
describes:

The nerves need food to keep up their strength
Their food is not the same food that we usually
know.
Prof Phelps of Dartmouth University, the
first physician to enuncate the principle which to-
day is recognized of the foundations of the
science of medicine,-the great enlightening truth,
that the system rules all the body's health.
He sought and found the food that builds up and
restores the nerves-his celery formula, which has
become famous Paines Celery Compound-the
celebrated vitalzer and tonic.
Doctors know and value this prescription and make
constant of it in their practice.
Its effect is almost instantaneous-the nourishment
vigor given to the system by Paine's Celery
Compound is felt at
The patient feels this at and gains confidence
by It.
The stronger forces have begun at once to
organ of the body do the work that ma
ture expects of it.
Two days treatment with Paine's Celery Compound
will prove its marvellous power.
Remember this-Panes Celery Compound is the
prescription of the famous physicians this
country has known, and all reputable druggists
sell and recommend it,

cibert & Claws Market Letter.

Cables yere very scarce and foreign news was consequently dull. Options were about as expected on the opening but shaded off a little during the day and closed at a net loss of points over yes terday. Spot sales Il, GOO bales at easier prices. As an unwarranted amount Of stress seems to have been laid upon the falling off in the spot demand, 1t is well to remark that some POGO bales were done after hours yesterday bringing the total of that day up to the previous average established, namely 10000.
 On the opening of our markets, futures were at first easier, and then showed a steadier undertone. The days session was featureless, the lack of any specula- tive interest having listless effect on the market.
 The good spot business reported dur ing the morning acted as stimulant in steadying prices, but failed of being the inspiration sought to cause an ad- vance. However. opinion seems to be prevalent that the market has been touching the bolton now for some time and If only some outside influence could be set to work In conjunction with the improvement in the raw material situa- tion very much better market would naturally result. But receipts still remain comparatively heavy and in the face of them speculation moved out slowly. The time is approaching when this influence will have a reversing tendency for com parisons will have to be made with the remarkably heavy movement of last year s crop during the ensuing months, and this fact and that Texas and interior towns seem more unwilling to part with holdings, a condition which will shortly become manifest in the decreased receipts at ports.

ACTIVE AFTER AN
 EARLY DECLINE Close Was 8 to 15 Points Net
 Higher NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER Liverpool Was Buying in New York and There Was a Demand Cred

 Interests.
NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER

New York February 14-The cotton market was more active and after an early decline ruled generally strong to firm with the close to 15 points net higher. Sales were estimated at 30OOOO bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 2d3 points or about as due on the cables There was not much feature to the early news, New Orleans was inclined to be heavy, and was seller here. there was little sign of bull support and the market sagged off during the early trading to a net loss of about s points on the active months under scattering liquidation and local bear pressure. Around 1052 for March and 10. 70 for May, within 1 point of the lowest level for the bear move ment, the market met improved demand, much of which seemed to be of a very good character. Liverpool was buying here, spot houses also bought, and there was a demand credited to Denver bull in- terests. These made smaller shorts un- easy and when little later advlces from the south reported an improved spot de- msnd and big sales of spot cotton at NeW Ofiednss pIlces duNdiiCed dute sIdi p- ly on covering. The close was steady in tone and within couple of points of the highest for the day on active months.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today, 29,047 bales against 19,23O last week and Ii TAO last year. For the week, estimated. 150,OOO bales, against ,670 last week and 7s.965 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 10,Ss9 bales, against 2334. last year, and at Houston 9OSS bales against 1853 last year.

Loveman e Co.'S Market Letter.

Today's events demonstrated the rapid ity with which an over-sold market can recover under the stress of short cover ing Liverpool was quite weak and the ha1f-hearted attempts to rally did not hold we'll Our market declined to within 1 point of the low level touched on the last drop and hopeless feeling prevail ed throughout the morning. Predictions that the previous low level would be cut through and that big stop limits would be caught were general; some even went so far as to predict 101ac for May before the day would close. At 10.70 for May considerable resistance was met and the buying was of character to suggest ac- cumulation by strong interests but after a rise of or 5 points the buying ceased and the market relapsed into dullness. In the early afternoon, rumors began to circulate of a big deal in spot cotton under way. Shorts soon began to show nervousness and as if moved by the same impulse started to cover. Their buying lifted prices 20 points, during the after noon and about 25 points from the low of the day. The big spot deal referred to was the transfer of 12,000 bales from one of the leading New Orleans bulls to prominent export house. Other sales of spots were reported from New Or leans bringing the total to 2,0O0 The quotations were reported as unchanged which cannot be considered bullish ar gument in view of the large business done but the shorts were in no mood to discuss the matter and the large sales threw them into a semi-panic. For sev- eral days past good buying on every de- cline has been quite noticeable and the point we made in our Saturdays letter that such purchases must be made quiet ly if any quantity were to be accumulated was strongly confirmed by the quickness with which prices rallies under short covering alone.

Ware G LeIand's Market Letter.

While there was a great deal or pres sure on the market carly in the day, something like 15.000 bales May being sold by one broker from 73 to T, the market took all the cotton nicely and later on rallied sharply to 10.ss
 There was general buying during the greater part of the afternoon and the general impression prevailed that the market was pretty well cleaned out of cotton.
 Houses with western connections bought considerab ble and the feeling generally was better than has been seen in some days.
 As the market failed to break through 10. 60 the previous low level, for May, the feeling was that rally might now be look for though the extent of this reac- ton is not likely to be much above II cents. according to those who are work ing for the upturn.
 Spot houses are inclined to buy on the belief that enough cotton has been taken by sninners to improve the position con- sderably and it will take some selling hv the south to cause much of a break below 10Ac.
 As the market works toward He how eyer. it is expected that there will be cot ton for sale by the south and this is likely to cause another irregular mar ket.
 For the moment the average senti- ment in the ring is that money is likely to be made by buying on breaks and un- til the market has a decent reaction from this point, few will be inclined 10 sell short.

ANOTHER DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET
Movement Sluggish Except in
 Few Stocks
CLOSED UNDER PRESSURE
Trading in Union Pacific Rather Smaller Than Usual Because Mystery Surrounding 1t
 Has Been Dispelled.

New York, February H-Speculative in- terest today in the stock market declined again to about last weeks average The movement was exceedingly sluggish, except in few stocks. and in them it was Jess pronounced than yesterday. The days trading offered a tame conclusion to the long period of suspense over the Union Pacific dividend, which was settled today by the placing of the stock on a regular 6 per cent basis. The trading i'll that stock for the day was rather smaller than the recent average, and the hesitating vibra- tions in the price extended to only about a point above or below last nights level.
 In the last few days the current opin- ion has become pretty well informed as to the intended action on this dividend, but the conjecture up to that time had covered a wide range of possibilities as to the rate of the dividend and a supposed distribution of surplus in addition. The moderate movement in the stock on the setting at rest of all of these rumors was suggestive of a pretty thorough clearing up of speculative commitments. The' ac- ton of the copper stocks on the formal announcement of the transfer of control Of the Heinz properties, and the resulting settlement of litigation also offered abun- dant suggestions to the speculative mind that the mystery being cleared from the stock deprives it of much of it's motive power in the market. Amalgamated Cop per and Anaconda clearly showed the ef- fects of realizing throughout the day, all though occasional support made their movements irregular.
 The Hill group had the continued bene- 5ii of a mystery still on, and the smelling and lead stocks also came under the re- viyed influence of the possible wholesale merger of copper and smelling companies, which It is hoped was to be included in the official announcement of the Montana settlement. These movements were of small effect, however, on the general mar

ket, which backed and filled with a mar row range during the day. Heavy new bond issues were a continued subject of discussion, and some disparity of opinion was disclosed as to the deductions to be drawn from this prominent development ir the situation. An evidence of confidence of the most important financial interests, both in the outlook for general conditions and the further resources of the money market to absorb these large issues, 1t was urged that the offerings at this time were an encouraging feature.
 Speculative discussion dwelt upon the importance of supporting measures in the stock market to make arrangement for the marketing of the new bonds. The money market however, showed clearly enough the effect of the large require ments thus to be met. The rate of time loans for all periods up to six months was fairly established on a per cent basis, and higher rates were asked for short time loans. Call loan rates also were higher ruling above per cent throughout the day, and getting as high as 3 per cent. The gold for South America, which was expected to be taken last week. was add ed to today's, making the total shipment up to date 1750000. The sub-treasury's absorption from the money market since the last bank statement rose to S, ,3SS, 900. Quotations for interior exchange showed some movement in favor of New York in response to the firmer money market here. Foreign exchange yielded sharply under large offerings of finance bills by bankers who placed the proceedings in the local loan market The effects of the Union Pacific dividend. and their settle ment. caused no apprehension. as various other movements already have been dis counted in the matter of prices. There was growing uneasiness also over the advance in money rates. The market closed under pressure and at the lowest of the day.
