But is your goal along lines of

You say that others are doing the

Do you know of real buffer who

And when this buffer came up
against a position where it meant

after. didn't it?
Do you want to be caught in this

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

New Orleans, July 1-Bureau day brought heavy trading and fairly wide fluctuations to the cotton market. The statistics must be called very bullish for they point to another crop failure
 In a nut shell the department of ag- riculture said that the condition of the crop on June 25 was 70 per cent of the normal on an acreage which had been decreased by S.7 per cent which indicated a crop of only 10.9S6,000 bales. The condition report is the lowest on record for June and com pares with 75.e on May 25 and S5.s on June 25 last year and the tea year average of S0.3.
 Prior to the report the market was nervous and irregular and a small af- fair standing at a net advance of to points at one time but being 22 to "A points under yesterdays close just before the bureau reports were read out Immediately after the reports there was a break of 70 to Fl points on the most active months but an. equally quick recovery and advanc7 followed which carried the market II to 125 points up from the lowest to net advance of 23 points.

 T have been so greatly benefited by using Ironized Paw-Paw that scarcely know how to sufficiently praise it's merits I suffered from general debil- ny and most acute indigestion, from which I could obtain no relief. I was advised to try Ironized Paw-Paw. did so and found relief from the first few doses. It has done me unspeakable good; it is truly what you say-three powerful forces in one. Ironixed Paw Paw has raised me up and has kept me up."
 So the good reports come in from every section. One cured person spreads the news to his friends of this depend able tonic which makes old stomachs almost as good as new. and so the wave of health goes on and on. People who have been troubled for years with sleeplessness say that since taking IrOnixcd Paw-Paw they can sleep all night and get up feeling strong and re- freshed. If you need a tonic if you need strength and good cheer, try a bot tie of IrOuized Paw-Paw and you will have rich. red blood.

R D. Burgers Letter

Chicago, July 1.-Corn took an upward swing again, the weather conditions are favorable to the new crop, but the smaller acreage will give limited supply of the new crop at the best and with the old crop running to exhaustion the tradlhs element is taking to the buying sioe There is nothing important in the way of bullish news and selling on the advance may be expected:
 Oats were up two cents the run oi field reports are unfavorable, the de- yelopment of the grain to the rlpenlns state is showing less fruiting than ex- pected and a fall down in the crop pros pect Is expected from the present out look. There is ample old oats in store and the market may be expected to snow weakness on the rise, and buying on all declines is advisable. Tendency will pc bulliSh.

Commissioner H. P Burruss scored the automobile drivers who violate city ordinances in a talk before the commits sion at the regular weekly meeting yes- terday.
 T noticed in The Age-Hera1d some days ago statement from Commissioner Tay- Tor, in which he said some of the speed law violators should go to the peniten- tiary," Commissioner Burruss said.
