Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every
emergency if you keep a small bottle
of Sloan’s Liniment handy. It is the

(New Orleans, Dec. 23.—Cotton open
ed on the local market today af an
advance of 3 to 6 points on the nearer
positions, in sympathy with a good
Liverpool but heavy selling met the
rise and caused a,sharp slump which
amounted to 11 to 15 points on the
most active months. Half an hour af
ter the opening prices were 8 to 10
points under yesterday’s close.
Profit-taking by scalping shorts
checked the downward movement, but
without bringing about much of a re
action. At noon prices were within
a couple of points of the lowest.
The market was dull but steady in
the afternoon and at 1:30 stood at a
net decline of 2 points.
