Rev. A. H. Sykes, former pastor of the Watkins Park Presbyterian church, Nashville, Tenn. says:
 After seeing what Tanlac has ac- complished in my> wife's case, am convinced that it is a medicine Of great power and extraordinary merit. do not think I have ever seen any thing to give such prompt results.

NEW YORK COTTON By Associated prae.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press


 New Orleans, September 26- Prices were moderately higher in the cotton market today in the face of large tenders against October con- tracts, notices for about 21,000 bales of tenders appearing. Marked firm ness was displayed on the opening, and for some time after. prices dur ing this initial bulge rising 2S to S4 points, which carried October to l9.63c, and December to 20.01c. After the first bulge realizing worked against values to some extent and in the afternoon. when 1t looked as if the upward trend would again be re- sumed there was selling on the re- port that Welsh coal miners were leaving the pits. Uncertainty over October developments in New York tomorrow, which Is first notice day there. was also against firmness in the late trading. At one time prices were only 10 10 12 points higher than the close of Saturday. The close showed net gains on the day of 10Nto 25 points. with October at 1960c.
 october notices were not allowed to circulate and their quick stoppa ge was one of the main features of the day. One local spot firm was cred ited with stopping notices for 10000 bales. Rumors in regard to New York were that tendvrs there were likely to amount to 100, 900 bales but further rumors were that any amount of notices possible would be stopped by spot interests. Trading of the day was almost entirely bound up in the October position.

Accommodating Stocks
 and Export Decrease
 Causes Wheat to Drop
By Associnted Press

Chicago, September 26.-Accumu- lating stocks of wheat, together with absence of export business, had much to do with downturns in the price of wheat. The market closed unsettled at 1@214c net lower with December s1.241a@1.24a4 and May, s1.2S12 @1.2S94 Corn lost 4 @ ssc and oats Is $4c. It was evident from the start that the United States visible supply to be posted just be- fore the close would show a decided increase. The actual enlargement for the week proved to be more than 5000, 900 bushels, and with an even greater increase shown for Cana da, the effect was naturally depressing to the bulls. Meanwhile, exporters asserted that cable offers to sell wheat to Europe were met with counter proposals to resell, and in this connection it was pointed out that German marks had sunk, to a new low price record. Rallies due to profit taking by shorts failed to hold in the late dealings, notwith- standing the report of crop damage in the northwest and despite cur tailed estimates of yield in Canada
 Corn and oats declined with wheat although at first relatively steady, owing to to talk about corn acre age having perhaps been greatly overestimated. On the other hand bears stressed the fact that the vls- ible supply of oats is by far the lars- est ever known.
 Downturns in the value or hogs weakened provisions.

New York September 26.-The cot ton market was nervous today but trading was comparatively quiet and lhe price movement irreg ular within range of 25 to 26 points. After selling at 20.24c early, December con tracts eased off to t99Sc but rallied later and closed at 20.20c compared with l9.9Sc at the close of last week.

 The market opened steady at an advance of IA to 23 points in re- sponse to bullsh Liverpool advices and reports of rains or showers in central and western sections of the belt. Liverpool was good buyer here and there was scattered trade buying on the initial upturn which carried october up to 19.S5c and Jan uary to 20.2Sc or about p to 26 points net higher on the active months This bulge met consderab ble scattered selling for southern ac- count and realizing for over the ap- preaching government report, how ever, and after the close of Liverpool prices turned easier. October sold off to 19.62c and January to 19.9Sc or back to just about the closing figures of Saturday during the mid ale of the day but people who sold SN"N - fh thC tAPtttdtloIS Ol Increased hedge pressure before the close turned for cover later in the after noon and last prices showed rallies of 10 to 15 points from the lowest. Reports that a prominent Memphis authority placed the condition of the crop at 43.1 and the indicated yield at 6,6S0,o00 bales compared rather bearishly with the private reports of last week. and probably contributed 10 feeling that the approaching government report had been pretty well proportioned. This was sup posed to account for some of the midday selling while reports that some Of the Welsh coal mine owners were going to close down, owing to demand from the British govern ment that they increase their contri- button toward miners wages, also had an unsettling influence. Liver pool reported spot sales of 2O,00o bales for the day and the stopping of october notices in New Orleans prob ably had steadying effect on the local market.

UNCERTAIN TREND WAS PRONOUNCED
 IN STOCK MARKET
The Entire List Turned Heavy Towards the Close, Favor ties CancelIing Many of
 Their Early Gains
By Associated Press

New York, September 26-Recent uncertain tendencies in the stock market became more pronounced to- feeling voiced by the trading element. Selected issues of the speculative varities were steady to strong at in- tervals, but leaders of the oil in dustrial and railway groups reflected renewed pressure.
 Aside from the confusing foreign situation as expressed in new record for German exchange, most developments over the week end re- ceived favorable interpretation. Lat est railroad earnings were in keeping with last weeks favorable exhibits and reports from industrial centers distinctly encouraging,
 These were neutralized in a meas ure by slight let down in tonnage movements from leading terminals, due chiefly to reduced coal ship ments and some diminuition of in- vestment demand from western and other interior points.
 High grade rails added nothing to recent gains, being overshadowed by junior issue but steels, equipments and coppers, together with motors and the cheaper miscellaneous stocks were better by one to two half points.
 The entire list turned towards the close, offerings of Mexican Petro- leum, Baldwin, Reading and North ern Pacific affecting losses of one to three points in those issues and can ceiling many gains elsewhere.
 Ignoring a 41s per cent rate for private loans. all call money on the exchange was placed at per cent. Time rates, mercantile paper and bank acceptanes were unchanged, brokers reporting a light inquiry.
 The fall of German marks to prac~ tically 0-S6, or four points under any previous minimum was accompanied by weakness in Austrian, Polish and other central European remittances Far eastern remittances again moved contrarily the Japanese rate falling about half a cent while the Chinese quotation rose one and a half cents.
 Liberties led an active and broad bond market to firregularly higher prices and numerous convertible and debenture rails enhanced recent gains. Speedy sale of sS1,00O,00 of Pennsylvania railroad equipment cer- tificates testified to the strength of the local investment situation. Totai sales par value were s1s,3T5,O00.
