New York. Feb. e.-The cotton market turned very weak after an early advance ana sold at another new low level under re- newal of liquidation. and bear pressure The close was steady at net decline of eg10 points, Sales were estfmat. ed at 5oo.o00 bales. The market openea steady at a de,line of 296 points in keeping with rather disappointing cables- There were rumors of important bull support. yes teriay's sellers we're active buyers at the Initial decline and the market during the first hour showed pretty firm under tone; with prices working up to a net advance of 516 points. But local professionals eyi- dentiy regarded the bulge as nothing more than brief rally following the recent se- we're decline and toward midday the mar ket eased off under selling by early buyers Leter trading became more active. stoI loss orders were uncovered on a scale dowL and prices broke to q net decline of 1901 points with March selling at 10.si and Maj at i0.69 Covering by scalping shorts caus- ed some rally toward the close. but the un. settled market at New Orleans was regardef as an unfavorable feature and there wal little indication of active support. One ol the factors on the decline was statement Issued by the iocsi bear leader saying thal in view of many of his correspondents re porting cotton still to be ginned he bad ds. cided to Is ue another report covering gln- ntnK operations to Feb. 24.

THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is COnsti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk. He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 Is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind 1t. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics' and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to Pertna- nently cure the habit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having

Nearly g. u00,000 bales of the present crop has al- ready passed out of the hands or the producers, furnishing temporary neeus of spinners ana placing them in an ad- vantageous position as they have the ammunition.
 But this condition cannot last long This crop IS 3,bUO, ,uuO bales short of the crop of 1904. SIX million new spindies were added to the worlds manufac- , lures m 1sJ1.
