NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Feb. 27.-There was a
renewal of yesterdays buying move
ment of the cotton marvel today with
first prices steady at an advance of
6 to IL points. Higger Liverpool ca
bles, the absence of March notices and
reports that large orders for cotton
duck were pending in the goods trade
for navy purposes were factors on the
advance. A 31.24 for May and 1854
for July, however. the market met. n
good deal of realizing, while there was
scattered Southern and local selling
which appearshd to be inspired by bet
ter prospects for rain in the south
west.
The market broke 25 to 80 points
net lower and about 46 points below
the opening figures near the noon
hour, and the market became less
active with prices showing rallies of
several points around Midday on COW
erning and trade buying accompanied
by reports of good spot demand.
Cotton closed steady.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

To see the tinge Of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out
just try inside bathing every morn
ing for one week
Before breakfast each day drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els the previous days indigestible
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations
gases and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that. Those who are subject to con-
stipation, bilious attacks, acid stom-
ach, rheumatic twinges, also those
whose skin is sallow and complexion
pallid will have them both looking
and feeling better in every way
