clear, beautiful complexion that it
is sold under guarantee to refund
the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under

improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.

COTTON LOSES
: BULLISH TONE
Sharp Rally in Last Trading
Hour-Receipts Aver
age Well.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE senti-
ment in cotton was less bullish in
the main today and the market
closed weaker. Rallies due to
strength in securities and purchas-
ing for Wall Street and trade ac-
count were not maintained.
First prices showed net losses of
% to 55 points, January suffering
the greatest decline NThat option
was affected by the Issuance of about
twelve more notices. In spite of the
unfavorable news from Liverpool
houses with interests in that city
were among the best buyers here
early taking July mainly. The South
was among the sellers.
Offerings were absorbed quite well
and in the afternoon the market
improved. There was q sharp rally
early in the last hour on rebuying by
previous sellers and purchasing from
other quarters.
Toward the close selling broke out
afresh. Quotations were easy at a
net loss of SO to IS points.
Spot here was quiet with Middling rs
points lower at 1880; there were no
sales. Spot at New Orleans was
steady with middling unchanged at
IA. The ssfes were 1877 bales.
Receipts of cotton in bales at

Wheat Makes Substantial

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Grain prices
were steady on the Board of Trade
today. Wheat made substantial
gains early, but realizing sales
caused reaction late in the session.
Corn held firm snd provisions closed
with good gains.
Commission houses were active
buyers of wheat until March reach
ed $3.50. Longs took profit on the
peak and the market had a sinking
spell. The market was regarded as
in strong position, owing to heavy
clearances. Domestic millers have
not come into the market for any
big amounts of wheat, but inquiries
are being made and buying move
ment will be started shortly in the
opinion of traders. At the close fu.
lures were half to 1c higher
