CONFLICT OF VIEW
 ON COTTON OUTPUT Speculative War Being Waged Between Bulls and Bears SINNERS ARE BEARlSH Bull Leaders In New York Cling to Belief In Short Crop and Still
 Higher Prices But Bears
 Have Good Following.
| SINNERS ARE BEARlSH

New York, November 27.-The cotton market has resolved itself into speoula- tive duel between large trade interests who think that prices are unwarrantably high on the one hand, and certain pow erful New Orleans, Chicago and Wall street operators who support the thesis that supplies are certain to be short and the consumption large and that prices are due to be much higher. Liverpool spot sales have been very small, Manchester has sent gloomy reports as to the condl- ton of trade, politics in England and In dia, 1t is contended. may affect British trade unfavorably, and If there is any shortage of crop in America and Egypt there will be a much larger yield than usual in India. Believers in lower prices contend that consumption must be un- favorably affected by the ruling prices and that there will be enough cotton and to spare. Not only are some spectators fighting the advance. but spinners at home and abroad are doing the same tning' For over a month many spinners have boupht but sparingly. An English esti- mate of the crop. too, of Il coo bales was issued on Thanksgiving day when the New York market was closed and the average guess of the members of the members of the Liverpool exchange is Il, ,462. GOO bales.
 Liverpool keeps selling straddles here against purchases across the water on the theory that the differences between the two markets are only about half what they should be. At times there has been considerable liquidation by Wall street, western and southern traders. Now and then it appears that leading bulls have disposed of some of their manipula- tive lines, even if they have stood by their principal holdings The tone has been nervous, apprehensive and more or less excitable on account or the character of the trading on both sides of the mar ket. But even on days when liquidation was heavy, 1t has been remarked that the cotton on the whole has been well taken The receipts have been steadily decreasing Those at the ports at times have been only about half what they were on the corresponding days last year, and bullish weekly statistics are expected by many from now on. One southern house estimated the crop today at only 10. 200 900 bales, including 2,450,0O0 bales in Texus and 1,95O,Oo0 in Georgia. The south has sold so much cotton at high prices that j,s financial condition, 1t is argued, enables farmers to hold cotton back if they are disposed to do so. Baltimore authority puts the value of this years cotton crop with the seed at between $s00,- 0oo, 900 and s1 0OO.O to99. That would be the most profitable crop on record and would have a distinctly favorable effect on the finances not only of the south but of the nation.
 A rumor has been current that 10000 baIes Of the local stock would be shipped to France, Bulls, 1t is said, will meet ef- forts to bring cotton here on the part of their opponents with equally determined

The Secret of a
 Beautiful Complexion
Constitutional Treatment VIII Accom- pllsh More in a Week Than Local
 Applications In Six Months.

Contrary to general opinion the ac- quiring and maintaining of perfectly clear and faultless complexion does not depend upon the application of local treat ment. There are many persons who
 spend small fortunes visiting beauty specialists" and having their faces mas
 sased with perfumed. pink-colored cold creams, or with electrical vibrations, hop ing by these methods to get rid of wrinkles and various skin blemishes. Others spend much of their time steaming their cheeks with super-heated vapor, which promotes . rapid and heavy precipitation, and for the time being re- lieyes the pores of any foreign matter which may be ologging them. But the great trouble with such treatment Is that they achieve no permanent benefit, and whatever good they may accomplish Is only momentary.
 The reason is obvious. The trouble Is constitutional instead of being local, and for that reason, general, rather than top- ical treatment, is naturally required. No one would think of trying to cleanse the sewerage system of a city by merely F cleaning the external openings of a few of the sewers, and allowing the rest of the aqueduct to remain untouched. The whole system needs to be flushed and purified. The pores may be aptly termed the sew
 craze system of the body, which throws
 off one-fifth of its impurities through
 them; and if. for any reason. these lit-
 tie pores become stopped up, or the other
 eliminating organs which dispose of the
 remaining four-nfths of the waste ma
 terial, partially fail in their work of
 elimination, then the inevitable pimples,
 blackhsads, liver spots, etc., appear upon
 the face, thereby serving notice to the
 owner of that face that something Is
 wrong within; something Is interfering
 with the work of destroying and throwing
 off the effete matter from the blood,
 which has consequently become loaded
 with impurities.
 The foolish practice of attempting to cure @ blotchy, or otherwise faulty com plexion, by the use of local means, should be given up at once, and a more rational treatment substituted--that of purifying the blood, and cleansing the body's sewer age system, by using Stuart's Calcium Waters.
 Many persons who have been trying to gain a perfect complexion and to rid themselves of pimples and other facial blemishes. through local means, have given up this folly. and by the raeular
 use of Stuarts Calcium Wafters--the great blood and skin remedy, have nos only succeeded in purifying their blood, getting rid of pimples, etc. hut have also established a healthy circulation through the skin. which had the effect of remov- ing wrinkles.
 Secure a package of Stuarts Calcium Waters from your apothecary at once for 70 cents. and also send us your name and address for free sample treatment Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 175 Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich.

Huntsville. November N.-(special)- The cotton oil mills of this city are of fering $50 the ton for cotton seed the highest price ever paid for this by-product of the farms in this section.
 Because of the shortage of seed and the necessary reservations of the farmers, it is not believed that much seed will be brought in at the price offered. The oil mills of this section have been operating very irregularly on account of the short age of seed and their operations for the season will come to an early close.
 Three -fourths of the cotton raised In this section has already been marketed, 1t is stated; likewise the seed.

frort to dispose of the New York stock

effort to dispose of the New York stock in Europe. James A. Patten, in inter views in newspapers here, expresses him. self as very bullish on the outlook, partly owing to the presence of boil weevil in the south, and also for the reason that he considers cotton in the same position that wheat was year ago.
 As the case stands some consider the price dangerously inflated and others think that a further advance is in order Stocks are increaSng at a much slower rate than they did a year ago, but on the other hand spinners takings for the week arc much smaller than for the same time last year.
