week on the New York market except
occasionally from professional opera
tors playing for the top and the reac-
ton SO many have been expecting after
so sharp and heavy an advance. South
ern planters and factors however, have
been selling spot cotton freely on the
advance, and the crop has been NOV

scale to European and Continental buy

Of the New York Cotton Exchange, APP
proximates 100000 bales against about
100000 last week and $1,000 last year
and $4,000 the previous year. This
makes the total amount of the crop
marketed from the opening of the sea-
son on September 1 to date 2,25s,000
bales, against 100000 last year and
2,465,0o0 the previous year.
Spinners' takings of American cotton
this week are estimated by the same
as 2e5 5000 bales, against
255,o00 last year. This is the first
time this season the worlds spinners'
takings have exceeded their takings to

DEMAND BROADENS
FOR ACTUAL COTTON
Feature of Market During Past Week Was
Speculative Buying of Contracts
for Future Delivery

New York. October 16---The featur
of the market the past week was th
continued large speculative buying o.
contracts for future delivery, together
with the broadening demand for thu
actual cotton in the South. Although
this has been met with heavy realizing
sales in futures from old bulls to Sc
cure profits and continued free selling
of spots by planters and factors In
the South, the demand has predomi-
mated over the selling to such an extent
that the tendency of prices has contin-
ued upward with very little reaction
throughout the week. This has made
the third successive week of such con-
ditions. The principal stimulus to this
movement has been the apprehension
over the possibilities of scarcity of
supplies of cotton developing in the
spring and early summer from the
rather general acceptance of the small
er crop ideas which have been devel-
oping the past month.
This has been the result of the prev
alence of estimates ranging in the
neighborhood of 11.25o.0o0 bales to
11.500,000 maximum from this years
crop unless killing frost of general
character holds off from the cotton
belt until after the first week of No
rember On account of the lateness of
the crop, such a late date of killing
frosts has been regarded as necessary
to permit the development of the COM
paratively small amount of top crop
reported in the various advices of crop
experts
Past Fortnight's Sharp Advance.
The advance in prices this week from,
last Saturdays closing to the high
level of Friday ranges from thirty
TO thirty eight points for the active
options from December to next May
deliveries. inclusive, and fifty points
for October. The latter sold as high |
as 149l Friday, while December went |
to 1896. January 1901, March 1914. and
May 1921. A fortnight ago October
closed on Saturday, October /, at 1850, l.
December 1882. January 1884, March
1898, and May 1907. From those
prices up to the high level of Friday
the general list shows an advance of
1l5 points on the average for December
to May, while October shows an ad-
vance of over 100 points. This is the
equivalent of s5.75 per bale to $3.50
per bale. Compared with the prices
current about a month ago, prices have i
gone UP steadily over 200 points, or the
equivalent of SO per bale. The price
of spot cotton, as quoted on the prin-
cipal Southern spot markets, has gone
up nearly as much.
Since the first of October prices on |
all the leading markets in the South |

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and Inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which is
no respecter of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it Is one of the easiest af-
tiictions of the human body to con.
quer. Medical science has proven 1t
not a distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
rheumatism is uric acid in tho blood
and other waste products of the sys.
ten which should be filtered and
strained out in the form Of urine. The
function Of the kidneys Is 70 sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of spongc,likc substance,
the holes or pores Of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become %cloggcd, ana failing
in their function OF eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
In the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of rheu-
matism and bacKachc, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
disease, and genera, weakness.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases OF
rheumatism because of its direct ac-
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re.
lieving, too, the most severe forms Of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion. one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie and take in te%aspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients 4 be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.
