EXCHANGE SEATS
RISES TO $4,000
Quotation Represents Gain OF
$l3,50O Since Low Rec
ord Was Reached.

NEW YORK. March 31.-Stock ex-
change seats have made a substantial
recovery in price. 1t is said that $500
has been offered for a seat within a
few days, which represents a gain Of
5000 since last November. when the
membership privilege on the exchange
sold as low as $51, 500, a low record
which has not been touched since 1908.
The rate has been steadily rising since
the market began to pick up. The price
paid last week for membership is said
to have been $50, 900, which was $4,000 in
advance of the last previous sale. Seats
sold as high as $4,000 in 1906 and 1906,
and at the height of the bull market in
the latter year 500, 900 was offered, with
no taker.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. March 31.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 1@4 points in response to steady
cables. There was a scattering de-
mand during the early session, but
there was no aggressive bull support
and the market soon eased off under
liquidation and bear pressure, which
was promoted by continued favorable
weather in the South and reports of in
creased acreage in the Southwest.
Trading was very quiet during the mid
die of the morning with prices about
net unchanged to l point higher.
The market continued quiet a in
the forenoon but ruled steadier on COW
ering, and in the absence of important
offerings sold about Z to 10 points net
higher at midday with July leading the
advance.

Ever try sulphur? Not the ordinary
CONNIE rcial sulphur, but refined and
concentrated. 1t is the best thing and
the surest. Pimples, boils, blotches
and blackheads come because the
blood contains toxic posons from con-
stipation, Indigestion or kidney and
liver ills. The best and purest sui
phur only should be used. Other kinds
are not soluble and make matters
worse. This pure and good kind when
combined into a sweet little pill with
castor Oil, wild lemon. black cherry
root and the like easily makes the
most efficient physic, tonic and puri-
fier imaginable. 1t is so prepared and
sold as a non-secret medicine by all
reliable druggists under the name Of

Blackburn's portrait and signature on

One of the mistaken theories is that

success Of any public affair. This the
DRY had its rise at time when oratory
was a fad. Orators were cultivated,
and they were supposed to take hui
mar passions in their hands and toy
with them. In this practical age pub
lie speakers are a bore, and nobody
cares anything about them. People
gather to be entertained and not lee
tured. But, TIL. theory having been

Washington, April Eff president
Roosevelt and the leaders in congress

Venezuelan government for the in

by American citizens and American
interests.
The suggestion that an embargo be
placed upon Venezuelan products has
been abandoned as impracticable after
careful consideration by the president
and Score tary Root, with Senator Gull
lom, chairman of the Foreign Affairs
committee of the senate. This kind
Of reprisaf has been tried upon Gener-
Al Castro, the president Of Venezuela,
and resulted in lamentable failure.
Castro retaliated by imposing surtaxes
upon importations from the countries
applying the embargo. That he could

May Resort to Force.
In case congress adopts a resolution
similar to that passed in 1890 Secre-
tary Root is expected TO pursue the
same course as Secretary Blaine fol-
lowed, with this important difference:
Venezuela is not to be given time

tration or suffer the displeasure of
this country.
After congress acts Secretary Root
is expected to send second ultima
tum to Castro. If that fails to meet
with prompt compliance, then the ad-
ADMINISTRATION unquestionably will de-
eide to make a display of force in
Venezuelan waters. 1t will be in a po-
sition to do So not only because of the
injury suffered by Americans and
their interests, but on account of the
