NEW YORK, Dec. 4 Influenced by
firm Liverpool cables and unfavorable
crop advice* from the Western bolt, re
sulted in the cotton market ..pentng
steady to-day with first prices at a net
advance of 6 to It points from V\ ednes-
dav's close. Apparently ther* was very
little cotton for sale at the outset and
the buying was of a good character.
Liverpool cabled that the market has a
hotter undertone and that Manchester
Is doing better business than reported
Tills, however, had practically no effect
on quotation* ,
Outside speculation was very light.
After the call the trend was down
ward The ring crowd seemed inclined
to sell and the advance in Liverpool
seemed to have little or no effect. I his
caused some 3 to 6 points decline from
the initial range
Sentiment continues very bearish and
with the limit amount of bulls in the
market at present it is hard for them to
meet the selling pressure. Bears ap
parently seem to be trying to talk the
market down. However, a narrow and
featureless market is looked for until
after the Government reports are out of
the way.

Instant Relief When Nose and Head
Are Clogged From a Cold. Stops
Nasty Catarrhal Discharges. Dull
Headache Vanishes.
Try “Ely’s Cream Balm.’’
Get a small bottle, anyway, just to
try It. Apply a little in the nostrils and
instantly your clogged nose and stopped-
up air passages of the head will open;
you will breathe freely; dullness and
headache disappear. By morning! the
catarrh, cold in head or catarrhal sore
throat will be gone.
End such misery now! Get the small
bottle of “Ely's Cream Balm'' at any
drug store. This sweet fragrant balm
dissolves by the heat of the nostrils,
penetrates and heals the inflamed, swol
len membrane which lines the nose, head
and throat; clears the air passages:
stops nasty discharge and a feeling of
cleansing, soothing relief comes Immedi
ately.
Don’t lay awake to-night struggling
for breath, with head stuffed, nostrils
closed, hawking and blowing. Catarrh
or a cold with its running nose, foul
mucus dropping into the throat, and
raw dryness, is distressing, but truly
needless.
Put your faith just once in "Ely’s
Cream Bulm," and your cold or ca
tarrh will surely disappear.—Advt.
