The local spot cotton market showed
so change yesterday in either tone or
price, opening quiet at 9%c for good
middling and closing at the same tone
and prices. The sales, however, were
materially larger, for although the
speculative markets showed little ef
fect from the killing frosts all through
Texas, local buyers evinced more read
iness to meet the demands of holders
of cotton, and this resulted in larger
sales than have been reported for
many days. The market was officially
quoted at closing “quiet,” tout In the
afternoon the feeling among holders
•was undoubtedly firmer.
An Improvement in the port receipts
for Savannah was also noticeable yes
terday. For several days past receipts
have barely held their own when com
pared with those of the former season,
but yesterday they amounted to 15,996,
e decided increase over the correspond
ing days of both last season and the
one before. The total receipts for the
port to date are now 810,675 bales,
against 578,024 for last season at a cor
responding period.

WITH SLIGHT ADVANCES.
New York, Nov. 12. —The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
3 to 5 points which was rather better
than due on the cables. The weather
was more or less unsettled, but noth
ing was reported calculated to alarm
shorts particularly and whjjle there
v\*as buying from this account, it seem
ed to come chiefly from the usual week
end motives. Wire houses with south
western connections had a few buying
orders. On the other hand Wall street
sold moderately and there was coun
tering liquidation. Altogether trading
was quiet with fluctuations narrow and
irregular. Prices sold off 'a little from
the best, but the general tone was
steady.

Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vlclc At Cos.
New York, Nov. 12.—The market has
shown a steady tone, chiefly as a re
sult of covering on better cables than
expected, 'the smaller movement, and
apprehension as to unsettled weather
over Sunday. But demand was by
no means aggressive, and after open
ing 3@5 points higher, the market
showed little further change. Cables
were due to come about 1 point higher
and closed about I@2 points higher.
The weather map showed moderate
show r ers, nothing alarming, but weath
er is still cold in the Southwest. Port
receipts for the day were estimated at
53,000 bales, against about 67,000 last
year. The into-sight for the coming
week is estimated at from 500,000 to
510,000 bales, agalrst 582.000) last year
and the into-sight for the month of
November will probably fall between
150,000 and 180,000 behind last year’s
figures. According to the Chronicle,
the world's visible supply of American
cotton increased 246,724 for the week,
against an Increase for the same week
last year of 310,690 and the excess in
the world's visible supply of American
cotton this year over last has been
reduced by the difference. The figures

ture "which stands out most prominent
ly Is the decided falling off In the
movement everywhere. The movement
for the week fell far below the early
estimate and proved to be only 520,000
bales. Europe is becoming impressed
by the strength with which the South
holds to the balance of its cotton, and
Liverpool Is disposed to be quite bull
ish. Every attempt at an advance In
that market, however, has been check
ed by a heavy selling by Amerloan
bears, but It looks now as if they had
overdone the short side, and that It
will be impossible for them to prevent
further : ilvance. The flood of bearish
literature, arguing out a big crop from
scant premises, has apparently lost its
force. The public has proverbially a
short memory, but we have before us
a circular issued on Feb. 2, 1904, by
the same operator who is now leading
the bear movement, predicting a crop
for the past season of 11,217,000 bales.
After working out the figures to his
own satisfaction, he added in the cir
cular referred to, “From this conclu
sion (11,217,000 bales) there is no es
cape," and yet the actual out-turn was
only 10,011,000 bales.
WARE A I,ELAND
Say Strength Was Manifested In All
Itrnnches But Futures.
New York, Nov. 12.—The market
this morning was one of the narrow
est of the fall. At times brokers left
the pit and there was so little busi
ness that prices ranged from 9.94 c for
January, the price of yesterday to
9.98 c, and there was cotton on the rise
for sale and cotton wanted on the de
cline. There was strength In the spot
markets, strength in Liverpool, and in
all directions, save in the future mar
ket here. This Is due to' the pressure
being exerted by those short of the
market to prevent an advance. At no
time is the market allowed to advance
much. The action of the market has
been artificial for some days. Factors
have been such as to warrant a slight
advance even should the market react
later. But this slight advance prevent
ed by 6horts who are afraid the ad
vance might attract speculation and
the market Is too narrow to permit the
extensive short interest existing to
cover without serious loss. The market
does not seem to us to be a natural
one and the causes are not far ito seek:
There is a concentrated short Interest
in the market that Is becoming un
wiedly. Unless some depressing factor,
not now In sight comes to the relief of
the short interest, we are likely to see
an advance If importance.

Wichita Falls, Texas.
Proprietors P. P. P.:
It becomes my duty to add my tes
timonial to the wonderful curative
properties of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash,
Poke Root and Potassium). Some
years ago I bruised my ankle on my
saddle stirrup; from a little scratch
the place began to enlarge until It
was as large as the palm of my hand,
discharging pus, exposing part of the
bone. I called to see physicians, and
thev pronounced It a fever sore, and
incurable. It became so painful, and
swollen so badly that I tried bandage
for relief until I secured a rubber sup
porter: after securing the rubber sup
porter for temporary relief, I began
to use Internal remedies, trying sev
eral different kinds without any ap
parent relief. I resolved to try P. P. P.,
which I did. After using one bottle
the result was such that I continued
until the sixth bottle was used, when
my rubber eupporter was no longer
required, as the sore was completely
heeled end swelling entirely gone. I
therefore take pleasure In saying to
the public generally that It is my be
lief. from actual experience, that the
use of P. P. P., if properly persieled
In. will cure any smi or Impure blood
or blood poisoning. Respectfully,
PROF. B. F. HICKEY,
Poetmaeter, Wtohlta Falla. Texas.
I, the un<i*i signed, knew Prof.
Hickey at the time be oommenoed to
take* F. F. P for hie sore lex, and I
did not think a our* possible I
netleed Its progrsss from the start and
must say the remarkable cure P. P. P.
brought about was something mar
velous. R. TAYMAN.
Druggist. Wichita Fails, Tex.
P. P. P. Is a sure cure for rheuma
tism. Syphilis, Scrofula, Blood Poison
ing. Blotches, Pimples and all skin
and blood diseases.
Cancerous aore on face, year* of
skin trouble. Glandular swelling, suf
ferer renders thanks to P. P. P. for its
great cures.
