Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 6.-The action of the market today has suggested an effort on the part of more or less speculative buyers to forestall the demand from the trade which was expected to make it's ap- pearance in response to bullish crop news. Apparently, however, the trade IS not at the moment disposed to add ma terally to existing lines, which are be- lieved to be of comfortable proportions, as long as there is so much uncerta.=s.y in. the labor and financial situation and the demand for goods is so slow. At all events, the demand did not broaden ou; on the advance today, and while we dc not look for the trade to liquidate any of their holdings with the crop OUTLOOK So unsatisfactory, neither do we think they will buy freely except when they can do so with distinct advantage to themselves.
 The weather news is not all bad, \ there were some fairly good rains in parts of Texas where they will do gooI, and although there were none in southern Texas, where most needed, they may yet come, and anyway only a small fraction of the Texas crop is raised in that sec ton. There were rains in Georgia and in the Montgomery and Mobile districts, where they are not wanted, and there was considerable comment on these, put they failed to bring in any fresh buying of importance. The feature of the trading is the weakness of July, but if that has any meaning that is more than super ficial it is hearish. A demand for Janu- ary and March with an avoidance or

Hubbard Bros. & Co.

New York May 6.-(Special)-The mar ket today was hsgher early owing to reports of heavy rains in the central peit and more showers in the east AS the feeling about the new crop is one of great anxiety, these reports led to considerable speculative buying. Liverpool was fres seller on the advance, rs our market has gone up closely to Liverpool in the last three or four days. IL Is reported that the Lancashire strike has been set tied by a compromise In New Bedford the mills are still operating, but at reduced rate and in more or less crlp- pied condition. News from the dry goods market is very unsettled. Further sales bv retailers are reported in contempia- tion following the advertisement ot large store in New York that all prices will be reduced 20 per cent. The stock of cotton in New York has been steadly increasing, although at a moderate rate, owing to transportation difficulties, ana this has resulted in a narrowing of the premium of the old crop. We expect that further rains will maintain the bulllsh sentiment, but there is some little dlsposn- ton to pay attention to the increasiH evidence that goods prices have at last pr evoked the consumer.-Hubbard Sro.' .S Co.

New Orleans, May 6.-Detailed govern ment records show some good rains -i north and west Texas yesterday Rasl- izing on these reports caused reaction to 36. 2Sc for October. but there was no greater selling pressure, and the market ra allied again towards the last hour on New York advices of scarce money, which raised prospects of buying for Wall street accounts However the un- favorable news from the other side caused hesitation, and the market reacted again in the late trading. Exports so far for the week, 55,010, against S9OOO last year.
 Liverpool reported the Manchester labor dispute settled Japanese advlces were still pessimstic, sentiment locally is mixed very few are enthusiastic o" the bull side, but coneede that if the weather does not improve will continue firm and trend of prices higher.

Looking to Nature He Found in TERRA
 LINE Natures Great Remedy.

Mr. w. H. Gresham, popular travelling salesman and known to thousands of per- sons who affectionately call him "Coz. Har- vey," lives at Clarkesdale, Miss and like every other citizen of Clarksdale he is sure there is but one other real city when you leave Clarkesdale. :.
 Among the good people and good things of his home city, MT. Gresham unfortunately became a sufferer from stomach troubles and indigestion and says he suffered three long years and finally lost his appetite and became weak and generally run down,
 He found FERRALINE was Natural Tonic, free from alcohol and drugs, and after giving it fair trial he was much improved After using three bottles Mr. Gresham says his appetite was restored and he regained his strength and now considers Ferraline godsend to him and is convinced that it will relieve any case of stomach trouble or indigestion.
 If you suffer, turn to the Natural Mineral -FERRALINE- give Nature chance to do for you what it did for MT. Gresham. :.
 FERRALINE IS SOLD BY YOUR DRUGGIST ANDIT IS A GREAT TONIC.
