:v / fvj Illness excites the nerve centers and nervousness results. Nervousness in women is
M usually caused by the irritation of female troubles. Can you think of anything more

of his life at hard labor in the state pen

sentence was passed by Judge Doggett in
the CriminaTCourt at Jacksonville Monday
morning, after the defendant had entered
a plea of guilty to the charge. Hutson

three negroes who had stolen it from i

ports aggregating 11.068,348 superficial feet.
The value of all exports to foreign ports
during tho week was $405,872, distributed
to various ports as follows: Genoa, $239.-

Markets.
Morning News Office, April 11.—The lo
cal markets did not show any striking fea
tures to-day, and all, with the exception
of naval stores, closed unchanged. At tho
opening rosins were marked up, H going
up 10 cents, and G and below %•> cents.
While theie was no afternoon sales report
1, it was stated there was a fair inquiry
ofr rosins during the late hours, which
may be taken ns an indication of a good
business to follow. Spirits turpentine went
off, the price being marked down a cent
at the opening, at which the situation was
firm. Evidences of still further weaken
ing were apparent, however, and the
chances are that other declines are to fol
low before the present downward tendency
is checked. The cotton market closed
quiet and unchanged. Liverpool declined
l-32d on spots, with sales of 8,000 bales.
Futures opened higher, but later reacted,
and stood at 1 p. m. 1 to 2-64d lower, then
recovered, and closed the same as Tues
day.
New York closed steady, 5 points higher
to 1 point lower. The strength of the sta
tistical position is increasing, and this,
coupled with rumors of manipulation,
tends to lessen the short interest. While
sentiment in New York was inclined to be
bearish, crop reports throughout the belt
lead to great caution in selling. The
wholesale markets closed steady and act
ive. The following resume of the different
markets will show the tone and quotations
at the close to-day:
COTTON.
No change was shown in the cotton
market <o-day, which closed quiet at
Tuesday’s quotations. Receipts were light,
the total being 935 bales, against 976 same
day of last year. The receipts so far this
season have been 1,035,905, against 1,026,210
same period last year. The stock to-day
is 58,445 bales.

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, April 11.—The cotton market
was exceptionally narrow to-day, tho en
tire scope of fluctuations being a matter
of 9 points. The volume of business was
aleo unusually light, with dealings chief
ly between local operators and in good
part for closing up accounts in anticipa
tion of Good Friday holiday. There was
practically no outside support. Local
sentiment was Inclined to be bearish, but
rvjiorts from the cotton belt regarding the
crop situation led to caution in the mat
ter of celling, although the news was far
from being bullish. The market, after
opening quiet at a decline of 2(fi3 points
under disappointing cables, steadied up a
little on local demand, but soon became
sluggish and returned to the lowest point.
There was a rally late in the day on cov
ering by room shorts and Wall street buy
ing. with the market finally steady, 5
points higher to 1 point net lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York, April 11.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: The small demand and the
slightly lower market in Liverpool can
only be attributed to the decrease in the
demand from India in Manchester. A
holiday market was expected, hue It was
thought 11 would be upon rather a higher
plane, and local trade exj>ec, the light re
ceipts at New Orleans to-morrow will
have the effect of bringing better advices
from abroad to-morrow. Transactions
during the morning warn of a retail char
acter with a general indisposition to en
ter Into new engagements pending the hol
idays, The strength of the statistical
position Is advanced every moment, and
together with the rumors of manipula
tion arc heard on every side. Naturally
the short Interest Is of the smallest pos
sible size, as a result of these views. The
rains of yesterday throughout the Houth
are to l,e followed by clearing and colder
weath, r.
New York, April il. -Murphy & Cos. say;
Cotton in Liverpool declined l-32d on
spots, with sales of 8,000 bales. Futures
opened higher, reacted and stood at 2 p.
m. 1-6402-64d lower, then recovered and
closed about the same as yesterday. Some
complaints of rain and cold weather in
the South, but being unaccompanied with
orders to buy attracted no attention. Re
ceipts continue moderate, and this week’s
clears to Great Britain promise to be
large. Few care to operate owing to the
approaching Easter holidays. Locals
liought May deliveries to-day, supposed
to cover sales.
DRY GOODS.
New York, April 11.—There has been
no improvement in the demand to-day in
any division of the market and business
has ruled dull throughout. Staple cot
tons of all kinds are without change in
prices for either spot goods or forward de
liveries. Business in print ginghams lim
ited to former prices. Print cloths neg
lected. Woollen and worsted dress goods
in moderate demand, prices unchanged.
Men’s wear woollens* and wore ted fabrics
slow throughout.

Tho market for turpentine showed a de
cidedly weaker tendency to-day, as was
expected by tho trade, and at the opening,
went off a cent, the closing being firm at
52 cents. The demand is far from whole
some, aid until there Is an improvement,
factors <k> not look for a check to the
present downward tendency. Receipts o
day were comparatively large, and this
tended to put the market in an even, weak
er state. The receipts were 712 casks,
sales 432 casks, and the exports 332 casks.
Rosins—An improvement was shown in
the rosin market to-day, which advanced
on several grodes, H went up 10 cents,
while G and below wore marked up V/ 2
cents. At the advance there was a fair
ly good demand, though business was not
such as to lend any great encouragement
to (he trade. Tho receipts were 1,697 bar

STOCKS AND HONI)S.
New York, April 11.—The reactionary
tendency which developed In the stock
market yesterday continued manifest dur
ing the early hours to-day, when the sell
ing wns actlvp and widely distributed an 1
seemed quiK l urgent In some etocks.
About, midway of the session, however,
the pressure to sell was somewhat relaxed
and friends of various stocks took them
In hand, and l!d them up. The advance
in these stocks was not met by any great
burden of offerings, and prices generally
tended to word recovery. The rally In
prices failed to bring In any notable de
mand for stocks, and the market became
rather heavy again and closed In that
condition. Dealings were very largely in
professional hands, and the efforts of the
bears to force down prices and dislodge
stop loss orders, met with considerable
success in some quarters. The character
of the buying at the decline Indicated that
commission houses have orders to buy at
varying levels below the market.
The icvid of the market Ml below the
London parity, and arbitrage brokers
bought stocks to cover sales at the higher
level in London. This buying was es
pecially large In Union Pacific, when that
stock got below 57. and was a material
aid to Its late rally of over 2 points, with
sympathetic effect on the Pacifies, and
In less degree on the whole market. Bal
timore and Ohio preferred and Louisville
and Nashville showed aggressive strength,
nn,d ‘Missouri Pacific rallied from the
morning’s sharp decline. Otherwise the
railroad list was rather quiet and slug
gish.
The most violent movements, ns usual,
were among the industrials and special
ties. The fact that •Third Avenue stock
still commanded a premium for use In the
stock loan department last night, showed
that the short interest had not been en
tirely eliminated by yesterday’s -violent
rise. An active speculation resulted in
the stock, and it was forced up nt one time
9 points, then collapsed 11 points, arid ral
lied again 5 jolnts. The net gain was
2 po'nts. Sugar was* somewhat erratic at
a higher level on the good conditions in
thv* trade and reiterated rumors of a trade
w ir settlement. American Steel and Wire
was subjected to further severe pressure,
with sympathetic effort on the metal
group generally. The resisting power de
veloped by Federal Steel, and its rise to
11% above yesterday’s prices, had n re
viving influence on the group. There was
no news to account for the movement in
these stocks.
The upward progress of sterling ex
change and possibility of gold exports was
used by the bears with effect- The ship
ment of $500,000 In gold to Buenos Ayres,
which was announced to-day, was regard
ed as a triangular operation, being in fact
a payment on account by New' York of
Ixwulon’s obligations to Argentina. The
money market had continued easy under
the Influence of large gains by the banks
from the sub-treasnrjL
The bond market was moderately ac
tive slid prices were Inclined to yield.
Total sales, par value, $1,665,000.

These hymns and poems, from Saint

written. This gives new color n. w Ilf.,
