EFFECTED AN ENTIRE CURE OF
RHEUMATISM.
For over two years I have been a great

HAVEYOU BLOOD POISON?
If yon have, and it is allowed to run its
course, it means the total destruction of the
system and the breaking down of the bony
structures of the body.

Is nature’s specific for Blood Poison. It has
cured many of the worst cases when everything
else failed. It contains in a natural form the
elements that antidote blood poison aud drive
it from the system. We could give testimonials,
but parties do not care to have their names pub
lished. Wo will guarantee great benefit
or complete cure if the full and regular course
of the water iN taken. Desultory and irregular

Cotton by Ou's'ders.
Now York, March 31.—Print cloths
have sold during the week only in small
quantities. The sales of regulars have
been reported small and odd goods have
changed hands to the extent of n;i!j
about 150,0CX) pieces. Many of these
were narrow goods. The price tone, how -
ever, has remained very strong in nearly
all grades. The settlement of the wage
question for the time being at least, lias
tended to make the market a more sta
ble one in print cloths. In other lines
the week has been a large one. Ex
port goods have sold well through the
week.
COTTON.
New York. March 11.—The cotton
market opened steady with prices one
point higher to two points lower, and
during the early portion of the session
showed a healthy undertone with searce
l.\ a single point further dhange in prices.
Trading was active with the feature
generous liquidation by outsiders, this
cotton being absorbed by Liverpool, New
Orleans, Philadelphia and local firms.
Wall Street sold the May and August
deliveries in a small way. The Liver
pool cables were about as expected, re
ceipts were comparatively light and the
weather news was of the best. Southern
spot markets held steady with demand
fair, and the preparations for the now
crop were said to be generally under
way. Those factors had been quite gen
erally discounted, and in the absence
of new influences, the general disposi
tion was toward a contraction of ven
tures rather than a broadening of inter
ests.
Late in the forenoon futures took an
easier turn under a withdrawal of buy
ers. The close was barely steady with
quotations net three to six points lower.
Estimates receipts at the ports for the
day were i-JHio bales, against 1ti.848
bales lust week and 27.154 bales last
year. For the week IXI,OOO bales against
N 5.220 bales last week and 144.070 bales
last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans were 2.552. bales against 0.(580
bales last year ami at Houston 1,205

STOCKS AND BUNDS.
New York, March 11 . Quotations on
tin* slock exchange left off fractionally
above yesterday’s close and near the
highest. Trading at the outset was of
a hesitating character, showing u dis
position to follow any move in the Spe
cialties. This was indicated by a rise
in Sugar, the improvement in this stock
cancelling the earlier decline. The gen
eral market moved sympathetically hut
very narrowly. Subsequently there was
a raid on Metropolitan Street Railway,
which dropped 5 points. This incident
stimulated sales on the other stocks with
concessions quite material in Manhattan,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, American
Sugar and Bay State Gas. The latter
was particularly influenced by the ac
tion of the Boston exchange authori
ties in discounting trading in the stock.
This action was subsequently taken by
the governors at the local exchange.
The railway shares moved very slug
gishly. and attempts to improve them
were- retarded by thd heaviness of the
Union Pacific issues, in which foreign
selling was quite pronounced. Various
pessimistic expressions as to the prob
able character of the bank statement
which has been rife during the week,
were partly eradicated when the state
ment was published. The salient fea
ture of it was a contraction in surplus
reserve of only $1,375,125. The loan
account showed a reduction of over
$3,( 1(10,000. (’ash decreased $4,413.<MM1.
which reflected sub-treasury operations
in connection with the Central Pacific
settlement. The statement was rceciv\.'d
