BlBYS HANDS TIED
MOTHER TELLS HOW SAxO sALvE
:" CONQUERED ECZEMA.

."Last fall we noticed small rough
and red spots coming on baby's
hands. The skin was very dry and
she kept scratching them until they
would bleed. We lost a good deal Of
sleep with her. Finally we took her to
the doctor and he treated her several
weeks. but it kept spreading until we
had to keep her little hands tied and
dress and bandage them several times
a day they were so sore, and we used
everything We could hear of for ecze-
ma. Finally our druggist told us about
Saxo Salve. We tried it and one and a
half tubes has entirely cured her. Her
little hands are smooth and not even
ecarred, and we are so glad to tell
others what Saxo Salve has done for
US. Mrs. M. Stephenson, Lebanon, Ind"

Rare Word.

The news dispatches told the other
day Of the death of an old man who
had known a little of fame in his ma
tive city, the pleasures of riches and
then the agonies of poverty. AS the
doctors told him he had only a short
time to live, he said:
IT'S been tough, but think that on
the whole it's been interesting"
Death is everywhere, as it always
has been. But for most of us 1t Is hid
den. No more, as 1t was once, is
death the commonplace sight, the
thing to meet the eye on every side,
1t is pleasanter for life that this is so,
yet, because Of the fact, there are
fewer philosophers in the world, fewer
persons conscious of the inevitable,
fewer still who, when their summons
comes. can be easy and cheerful and
die little mindful of troubles and
wounds endured, and with a fair word
for the pleasures experienced.

NEVER FORGOT ITS ENMlTY
Colts Repuenance to Calf Grew Until
IL included Every Species OF
~ The Bovine

On a stock farm near Syracuse, n.
Y. a calf and colt were born on the
same day. So soon as 1t was .old
enough to run about the calf resolute-
ly repudiated its Jersey mother and
insisted on being fed by the mare.
Regularly every morning the calf
would watch its chance for breakfast
when the colt was kicking up its
heels at tho other end OF the pasture,
and would hurry to the good-natured
mare, who seemed to develop real
affection for her foster baby and was
quite willing to mother it. To this,
however, her own offspring strenuous
~ objected. So soon as it observed
the calf enjoying the nourishment
which it considered its own exclusive
right, the colt would charge on the In
terloper and, grabbing 1t firmly by the
back of the neck, would yank 1t away
from the maternal fount and take its
place.
So, far from forgetting its youthful
enmity for the calf. the colt has grown
up hating everything bovine. The
farmer has had to erect high fence
dividing the pasture, and to keep cows
and horses separated. The colt other
wise tractable In every way. goes
wild with rage at sight of COW. and
attacks her with hoofs and teeth. For
this reason it is impossible to drive
him in the country, and his owner is
even obliged TO stable him in build
ing remote from sight and sound of
the coward.

LITTLE ACTIVITY |S
 SHOWN IN COTTON

New York, March 22.-Renewed pre- dictions of unfavorable weather in the south failed to stimulate activity in the cotton market today and fluctuations were irregular with a comparatively narrow range. The close was barely steady. net unchanged to points low CT. The market opened steady at a de- cline of l point to an advance Of points on account of the failure of the early weather map to show as much rain in the south as anticipated. and realizing or liquidation by some of yes terdays buyers.

Slight as this rally was it appeared to be attracting long cot ton, which checked the advance, and the market later turned easier following less favorable English labor advices
 
 est point of the day. Judging from the talk around the floor practically the same feeling prevailed in the trade today as yesterday that leading long interests were taking advantage of moderate advances to reduce their lines but there was enough support to check the decline within point or two of last nights closing figures. Private advices from the south received during the day were more or less conflicting
 owing to large receipts at the out ports, the into sight figures ran rather over earlier expectations but splnners taxlngs for the week were also com paratively larger and were reported that interior stocks now show sligh' decrease compared with last year foi the first time in months.

New York, March 22.-The market for coffee futures opened irregular with March weak at a decline of 1S points, April 3 points lower and other months steady at an advance of 10 points in re- sponse to higher European cables. The weakness in the near positions was att tributed to the issuance of March con tracts by leading roasters amounting to about 12000 bags, but there was good de- mand for March at the decline, attributed partly to banking interests and the entire market frmed up shortly after the open ing on bull support, European buying and GOV ering of shorts.

Montgomery Market

Montgomery, March 22.-(Special. )-The local produce market today was we'll SUD- piled with vegetables, with prospects for the best market tomorrow that the city has offered in weeks.
 The market today contained an abund- ance of squash. new and old potatoes, home and foreign grown turnip greens shallots, Spanish onions and other veg etables Tomatoes are at present scarce and high selling at s2.75 per crate for the choice ones, and a little less for the lower grades.
 No strawberries are 10 be had, and no price is quoted on the wholesale mar ket The scarcity of stra awberries is oc- casioned by fields being inundated. and a large supply is not expected in for sey- eral days While home gardens are be- ginning to produce some vegetables, the prices are not being affected fin the least. as the local growers want the same price which must be paid for the shipped truck.
 Eggs continue plentiful and hold at 25 cents per dozen. The local cotton mar ket was unchanged. Strict middling sold at i03sc and middling at 10Ac.

STANDARD STOCKS
 FORGE FORWARD Market Shows Fairly Gen. eral Adyance-Trading
 Uncertain at Times

New York, March 2e-The reactionary tendency which overlook yesterdays stock market was partly dispelled today. standard stocks again forging forward and the market showing fairly general ad- vance.
 Trading was uncertain at times, how ever undoubtedly there has been extend- ed realizing during the week by specu- latorsswho have pinned their faith to the constructive side, but the effect of these operations has thus far been negligible.
 Taking score or more of the stocks which constitute the real backbone of the list, top prices today were from to points higher than at last weeks close. What may be termed the old short in terest was probably driven to cover early in the present week, but new lines or stocks have been put out since then. Ac- cclding to board room gossip there has come up another bear faction in the cop pers, steel, smelling and some Of the standard railway shares.
 This element has stubbornly opposed the rise of the last few days, and may be expected to continue their tactics un- less the present movement gets out of hand The most logical explanation that can be put forward in connection with the almost uninterrupted Improvement is to be found in the fact that stocks thorough ly lquidated before the present move ment began. and that they did not de- cline in the face of many developments of an unfavorable character.
 Metal stocks were easily the feature ,.I..... ,.t.. a Copper exceeding those in United States Steel or in any other market leader. An other conspicuous leader was American Smelling, with a rise of over points from the previous days low quotations. Union Pacific led the railway group. Reading and Steel were relatively backward. Equipment shares were. again to the fore, and such specialties as American Sugar, International Harvester and American Car preferred resumed their activity, the latter at new high record.
 Prices yielded materially in the last hour, except in some of the more obscure issues. Steel advance was altogether lost and Union Pacific and Reading retained little more than mere fractions of their gains.
 Final dealings indicated a degree of irTeguarty and uncertainty, resulting, doubtless, from further realizing, but net gains were numerous.
 London's own markets were more cheer fu and our securities were strong there under Union Pachc's leadership. Further financial trouble in Austro- Hungary were disclosed in a Vienna cable, but the em- barrassment was thought to be altogether local
 More financing to meet requirements of home railroads was reported, the Missouri Pacific contemplating an issue of s5,0o0,oo0 three year per cent notes to pay off obligations recently incurred. The coming week probably will witness the consum- nation of further loans to Germany.
 Bonds were irregular with few inn pcrtant. Total sales, par velue, amounted to g.. 404,o00 United States As and Panama Ss advanced l4 per cent on call

CLOSE WAS FIRM IN
 l. THE WHEAT MARKET
Strength Developed Later in the Day-Corn Scored
 Net Gain

Chicago March 22.-Complaints of ex- tensive crop damage in late seeded soft winter wheat east of the Missouri river rallied the market today from the effects of hearish cables. The close was firm advance. Corn scored a net gain of Ad9sc to ssd1ac and oats rise of l4@5sc. Hog products finished within a trihe either way from last night.
 Strength in wheat developed late in the day. The easier feeling at the outset fol- lowed a break at Budapest, due to an unexpected increase in Argentine ship ment. the week forwarding being the largest In over a year. Visible supply at La Plata ports had also become much more bulky than had been looked for.
 The movement of wheat northwest of Chicago however, was said to have shown signs of gradually growing less and this fact encouraged support. Southwest mar kets. too, were reducing stocks by liberal selling to country mills. timely bulge in corn afforded help also toward giv- ing the market lift
 It was feared that the report of win ter killing would prove only too serious which princlpally turned the wheat mar ket to the buying side as the session approached an end.
 Wheat wound up firm at S1 02d1 .02Is, a gain of 1sc net.
 A furry among May shorts at St Louis formed the basis of the upturn in corn, Spectators Of the heavy caibre sort seized the ch0lce here and forced the crowd of pit traders to rush for cover Receipts were light in all directions and there were some rather wild stories of fancy prices south and southwest for feelings and manufacturing.
 Corn in Texas was said to be selling at $1 bushel In Chicago the May op- ton ranged from 7ossc to 717sc. closing steady at 71ss6T71a4e, an advance of asq 1sc above last nights. Cash grades were firm. No. yellow was quoted at 6924670e for car lots.
 Unsettled weather that was predicted and that would further retard the open ing of spring work made the oats mar ket sympathize with corn Business though, was only of fair volume. Upper and lower levels touched for May were 53ss6531kc and 525sc with last sales ssc up at 53asc.
 Selling by packers nullihed the tend ency of provisions to rise owing to small arrivals of hogs and because of the strength of grain. When the last gong struck the market was practically al the same point as q hours before.
 Future quotations were as follows:

New Orleans, March 22.-Cotton futures opened steady and points up over yes terday's close. Cables were slightly bet ter than due and the weather map was very unfavorabe. Reports relating to the English labor situation were decidedly mere favorable.
 After the call these reports had some influence on the list. Prices gradually rose until at the end of the first half hour they were to points over yester- daly's final figures, Trading was small in volume and professional in character.
 The market maintained it's tendency to advance until after the middle of the morning, when the trading months were to ! points up. The weather forecast was bullish as 1t predicted unsettled and rainy conditions for a large part of the belt, but the report of more cotton up in Texas and rapid planting in the early counties of that state had considerable effect late in the morning with the re- suit that prices fell off until they were only to points up. At noon the tone was steady and prices were to points up.
 In the afternoon the market was stag nant. At o'clock the list was to 3 points above yestTday's final figures.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. March D. Specially The deadlock in the market continues with waning interest and consequent dull business. Cables were fair but ths indisposition to take the initiative Is marked.
 The weather forecast is uncertain with temporary conditions more settled. While there was some small foreign buying the uncertainty of the English strike is disconcerting In parts of the south there Is an active spot demand and interior shipments are well ahead Of reports for the week.
 In goods firmness and activity are notable in some departments. Spots generally are steady; locally the mar ket Is narrow, moving easily to the im- pulse of selling or buying with ten- dency to lower prices on the lack of sneculatlVe support.
