AN INVITATION TO WOMEN.

Women are invited to visit the lab
oratory of the Lydia +. Pinkham
Medicine company, at Lynn, Mass,
and see for themselves with what ac-
curacy, skill and cleanliness this won
derful remedy for women's ailments
is prepared. over $50. 900 pounds OF
roots and herbs are used annually in
making this famous medicine. The
great bins of herbs, the huge tanks
filled with the medicine ready to be
bottled, and the bottling room where
Ii is put up and labeled for the mar
ket, cannot help but impress them
with the reliability of this good, old
fashioned root and herb remedy
which for the past 40 years has been
so successful in the home treatment
of female ills.

SALE OF LANDS
FARMS BRING A BIG PRICE IN
HARRISBURG VICINITY.

Harrisburg. Sept. 1S.-Tbat the
day of $500 an acre improved farm
land in the Harrisburg territory is
not far distant, but. in fact. is prac-
tically here, is clearly shown by the
result of two auction sales of land in
the vicinity of Harrisburg within the
past two or three days. The David
Shankland farm OF 100 acres, situat-
ed three miles north OF Harrisburg,
brought the good price of S1S1 an
acre. The other sale was of what is
known as the Henry Ellens farm. sit
uated one-half mile east of Harris
burg. 1t contains 160 acres and
brought $175 per acre. This farm
vas purchased by w. J.. Byrnes. of
Canton. The Shankland farm was
sold to an Iowa man. The improve
ments on these two farms are about
the average of all improved farms in
the Harrisburg district. The crop
production of the Harrisburg terri
tory for this season breaks many rec
ords of the past.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 9.-(Special.)-As rain
 did not occur over Sunday in Texas and as the indications in Europe pointed to a peace speech by the German chancel- Tor the market opened sharply higher
 and after a few moments of hesitation proceeded upward under the usual lead ership on the advance 1t was noticeable that one or two commission houses as- sociated on the long side had a steady though not large stream of realizing or ders, probably from those who did not | liquidate before the bureau report. It lis the prevailing impression that while many places in Texas did have from to 21a inches of rain last week, it was not sufficient to break the dry weather of June. Elsewhere it was thought that the weather was on the whole favorable for the plant. There is as yet no disposi- tion to consider the crop as assured. On the contrary the trade is not willing to
 enter into forward engagements, all though they concede the crop has and is improving. In the last hour the market eased on local selling on the absence of a peace speech from Germany and was lower after the close.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, July 9.-Bearish anticipations of the government crop report pulled down values in the corn market today and so, to- did official announcement of an embargo on indiscriminate exports. The market closed nervous, 1c to 1ac neE lower, at $154A to s1.547s September and s1 .l6s to $1.171s December Wheat lost 3l2c to 4l2c, finishing unsettled with July at S2.o21a and September at s1.901s. Oats showed setback of s5d1kc to 11Ar. The outcome ill provisions ranged from 12iec decline to rise of 15c
 Advance guesses regarding the general suspicious tenor of the government crop report as to corn proved correct but erred in being too bearish concerning the sz3 of the estimated yield and as to the con- dition of growth. Private forecasts mace the probable yield 3140.000,000 bushels to 3,2OO, ,000,0O0 bushels, whereas the official prediction indicates 3,12400,00 bushels Tn fact that the bears had somewhat over shot the mark did not develop h " ever. until after trading had ended :or the day. Aside from downward impulse which prices received from gossip aboI tue government report, the market espe- eially at the outset, was weakened ma : terially by selling, due to the embargo rctice, notwithstanding assertions that t'S aAAOGllt Ol SOiH 6ApUIlSu lO IlcutIdl countries was relatively small.
 Wheat prices receded as a result of causes similar to those which operated On tsu corn market. Reckonings of what would be shown by the government re- port turned out to be remarkably ac- eurate. Business remained meagre, how ever, because of the outlook for almost immediate formal control of the market being assumed by the feueral authorities.
 Oats averaged lower in sympathy with otler grams. The government crop re- port as to oats was considerably more in favor of the bears than had been looked for.
 Depression in the hog market weakened provisions It was generally accepted also that the coming embargo would have some restrictive effect on clearances of lard and meats.

REACTIONS FOLLOW
 EARLY ADVANCE
Cotton Market Affected by the Weather Reports and
 Prospects of Peace

New York, July 9.-An advance of about B per bale was followed by sharp reactions in the cotton market today, with October selling off from 9e47c to o.05c, and closing at 26.12c. Tho general list closed steady at a net advance fo 25 to 29 points
 Reports of continued dry weather in the southwest and more optimistic view of peace prospects were the factors most in evidence on the early advance. The market opened to S5 points higher with the near months relatively firm. There was considerable realizing around the initial figures and prices eased off several points after the call with De- tober selling at 25.95c, December at 26.07, January at 26.14c. This first furry of liquidation was readily absorbed how ever, and the market turned firmer dur ing the middle of the morning on cov- ering ana trade buying. The latter in- cluded purchases by houses with Liver pool and Japanese connections, while there was also buying supposed to be for western and Wall street account. Around 26.65c for December and 26.72c for January, or 59 to 63 points net higher, they Amet renewed realizing. The inn mediate buying power appeared to have been pretty well exhausted on the early advance and prices broke quite rapidly for a time, although the close was se1- eral points up from the lowest. The detailed weather reports showing gener- ally dry weather in the southwest, steadied the market during the middle of the day, but seemed to have been pretty well discounted on the earlier ad- vance.

Sugar Market

New York, July 9.-The raw sugar market was not very active today and prices were without change There were sales of 25,0O0 bags of Cubas from store at equal to 6.33c for cen- trifugal but offerings were not very aggressive and for nearby shipment from Cubas 52sc, cost and freight, was asked, which was ,sc higher than the price paid for the store sugars. It was rumored that Great Britain has pur- chased about 100000 tons of Java sugar and this may have had a tendency to discourage buyers in the hope of more liberal offerings from Cuba in this market. The close was steady at 5-1ec for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.33c for centrifugal and 5.45c for molasses.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cntton

New Orleans, July 9.-Cotton stood at the advance throughout the session of the market here today, but fell off from the highest in the afternoon under pres sure of liquidation by early buyers Last prices showed a net gain for the day of "A to 30 points. Around the opening the market was about 40 points up and sub seduently the rise was widened to 64 to 6S points.
 The demand was based on the return of drougthy conditions in Texas, in- creased spot demand, peace talk and the government control of exports would work to the advantage of cotton. At the best the demand was only moderate, but the supply of contracts was small.
 Spots were marked up 25 points on total sales of 4271 bales.
