lease with the stipulation that they get
a suitable tenant and pay to Mrs Mary

Cold

How often it happens that
serious illness, and sometimes
death, is directly traceable to
common cold. After it is too
late, what would we not give to
have checked the cold at the
start, when it would have quick
ly yielded to simple home treat
ment?
One of the most effective rem
edies for coughs and colds is
made by mixing two ounces of
Glycerine, half ounce of Virgin
OIL of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure Whisky.
These can be bought in any good
drug store and easily mixed in
a large bottle. 1t is claimed by
the Leach Chemical Company of
Cincinnati, who prepare the gen.
uine Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure, that q teaspoonful of this
mixture four times\ a day will
break up a cold in twenty-four
hours, and cure any cough that
is durable.

LITTLE RAIN IN TEXAS

New York, August 26.-Big huctua-
tons in the price of August contracts
were the feature in the cotton mar
ket today, a sharp early break when
notices were circulated being followed
by sensational advance in the late
trading, both movements resulting from
a comparatively small volume of bus
mess. Other positions were d shade
easier early also, but later firmed up
and closing prices were steady with
August % and the later months s
TO IA points net higher.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of 81 points on August and s
points lower to points higher on the
new crop. Cables were lower than
expected. but at first recent sellers
of the late positions showed a dispo-
sition to cover. owing to the failure
of the weather map to indicate any
general rain in Texas The absence
of aggressive bull support and the
weakness of the near months soon
checked the recovering and shortly af-
ter the opening August sold off to
5000. or % points net lower, while
later positions eased to a net loss
of from l to points
Notices estimated at about $4,000
bales for August delivery were said to
be circulating through the street and
appeared to have caused some scat
tering liquidation, but the little August
offering was absorbed on the early
break, and as soon as August began
to firm up later months did better on
higher late cables, the Texas weather
details showing only light showers
yesterday and the forecast for a re-
newal of fair and warmer weather to
morrow.
In the late trading there seemed to
be no August for sale of any conse
quence, and shorts bid the price up
to 1850, or 81 points above the low
level of the morning, and rs points
above the closing figures of last night.
The renewed strength of August
tended to hasten covering for over the
week END. and closing prices were
within to 3 points of the best level
of the day. Savannah reported a de-
cline of &c in spot, but southern mar
kets generally were unchanged.
Rumors that preliminary replies to
the National Ginners' association sue-
gested bullish condition report mex,
week, helped the late advances.

Chicago, August 26-The wheat mar
ket was easy all day, sagging to close

generally unchanged in price.
The wheat pit was unimpressive, with
no marked bearish or bullish stimulus.
Fluctuations were comparatively mar

Shorts, who FASTENED to cover their
lines of corn yesterday when frost was
expected resold today when higher tenn
perature was reported from growing

and the bulls were unable later in the
session to force values much away from
the low point, although resting orders
on the early decline stayed the market.

New Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans, August 26.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of las points
on poor cables. The ring was undecided
over the weather; considerable rain In
