 Local testimonials from gratified users of Plant Juice continue to pour in, prov ing that this remedy is living up to its reputation. One of the most recent is that of MT. c. w. Zirlxle, who has been 8 resident of East Thomas, Ala, for the past 15 years, and is one of the best known men in this section of the country, being special police officer for the Illinois General Railroad company, and a man of the utmost honor and integrity. He stated:
 For years I have been great suf- fered with my stomach; had indigestion kind of food in my stomach as it would ferment and cause gas to form. I had palpitation of the heart, dizzy spells, my liver was sluggish and I had bad bilious spells; my kidneys were also affected and T had terrible pains in my back. I was always constipnted and my system was full of malaria; felt very much dis couraged and had no ambition or energy to do my work: thought I would never be any better and went to West Virginia to the Springs, but did not receive any benefit. I had heard so much about Plant Juice that I decided, as last resort, to try it. am glad that did, for it has made me well man today. have a fine honestly recommend Plant Juice to any one''

 New York, May S.-The cotton market has been irregular and at times weak, re- flecting liquidation and local selling, but there has been no indication of pressure from the actual, and southern orders have been more on the buying side than the selling side. A good deal of the sell ing has been attributed to liquidation by western longs, who are credited with having had considerable lines, accumu- lated in the course of the advance. In the afternoon, however, selling from that source was not so much in evidence and prices steadied in sympathy with the firmer tone on New Orleans. Weather advices were not considered favorable

The market today continued quiet, with small fluctuations, representing for the most part the transactions of local traders who continue rather bulish on the idea that the weather in the Atlantic states is unfavorable. Further showers were reported and it would probably be as well to have a period of clear weather as labor is none too plentiful should the cotton become grassy. So far,
 however, no damage can have resulted and there was little or no outside buying this morning. The foreign demand also appears to have subsided probably, as we suggested yesterday, because the freight room is for the moment filled.

Over W. I. Phelts & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, May s-It was an un- decided market in cotton today, with the trade not having any hard and fast opin- ions regarding the immediate future but apparently willing to allow present fac tors to work themselves out.
 Considerable liquidation was felt and traders on the long side were apparently of the opinion that the market would be all the better off if the selling was car ried further. At least this seems to be sensible way for accounting for their want of aggressiveness. In the early trad ing prices were IS to 9 points under yes terday's close. A recovery at the middle of the morning put them 6 to s points over yesterdays finals, on the strongest months, but other easy spots developed later on, the market at it's lowest selling 26 to S2 points under yesterdays close. Late in the day the net decline amounted to only about points.
 The early decline was caused by the very poor Liverpool and there was also selling based on the favorable tone of

New Orleans, May Sour market, under conflicting influences, ruled quite irregular at the start, with re- actions followed by quick rallies. open ing about 20 down on the decline in Liverpool, support based on weather, firmness in spots and continued good dry goods reports, soon swung prices back to yesterdays closing levels and this process was repeated several times.
 Insline with present hopes for large crop there Is now much straddling go- ing on of buying July and selling De- tober. There is nearly every year time when bearish views on the new crop cause such straddles, but in the wind up the positions usually come closer together. There is no excep- tional conditions of guarantee for a wider difference between old and new crops this year; on the contrary, the chances for the full effect of peace be- long rather to the distant positions, and any reverse to the crop outlook is likely to develop sharp movement in new crop futures.
 Exports for today were liberal and for the week so far total S9.00o bales, against 32,000 for the same time last year. Galveston. Tex. reports two more large steamers allotted to that port for May loading. Reports from there also tell of too much wet weather.

New Orleans, May S-Decidedly lower cables than due influenced drastic liqui- dation> of long contracts this morning. The depression was probably due to the effect of yesterdays favorable weekly crop government report and the suspense in international politics following the presentation of the peace terms to Ger many.
 Meanwhile unfavorable general, heavy rains have fallen in the cotton regioI> with prospects for more wet weather in nearly all sections of the belt in the immediate future. The precipitation at numerous points was excessive.
 Too much rain in the interior is likely to be experienced, and as southern farm CTS have large acreage in foodstuffs in addition to cotton, and as field labcS' is scarce, either cotton or grain will probably suffer for want of proper cults vation in event of a wet May.
 Weather conditions generally run in cycles. The past four years in the cot ton region, especially in the southwest, have been considered dry. This may prove to be wet year. A wet May would be considNred bullish in the cotton market
 Germany has 15 days to make reply to the peace terms, another week or so to sign. In event of the enemy hesitating to sign the treaty the programme adopt ed by the allies provides for the re- sumption of the food blockade in the strictest manner and fin event of the Teutonic recalcitrancy the screws are to be turned ruthlessly. In other words. Germany must sign or starve. Exports continue to expand; so far to- day 45,0O0 against 5000 this date last year. and nearly 6O0000 more than one year ago since August 1.

soonest felines that money could pur-
chase. 1t was an interesting sight to
behold this Hercules in his writing
room playing with his regiment OF
cats, whom he had taught to love one
another as they did himself. When
some of them broke a valuable object
of art-his study. by the way, was
curiosity shop-he seriously deliberat-
ed upon getting rid Of them; but when
the man he had engaged came to re
move the obnoxious pets. he relentef
and sent him away. He named each
one of them after some well-known
person to whom he fancied 1t bore re
semblance. physical or otherwise. he
seldom wrote anything without cat
or two in his lap.-Maurice Mauris.
