for about 75,000 bales were issued, but
there was no special liquidation of that
position and it was supposed that the
cotton was being taken up by large
spot interests. Realizing was very
heavy in the later positions^ however,
and while there was a very active
demand, prices eased off to a net loss
of about 7@8 points during the first
half hour. Private cables reported
that Liverpool had been influenced by
the crop estimate of a New Orleans
authority placing the yield at 11,445,-
000 bales exclusive of linters, but the.
figures appeared to have been dis-
counted in the local market.
After easing off to a net loss of
about 15 to 19 points, with the de-
cline uncovering a few stop orders, the
market steadied on a renewal of bull
support and covering by shorts, who
were probably influenced by. the ap-
parent ease with which the market
had absorbed the heavy offerings on
the decline and bullish spot market
advices from the south. Prices' at
miday were only 7 to 8 points under
the closing figures of last week.

PICTURE FRAMING A SPECIALTY.
A writer for the medicia! press states
that coughing is responsible for the burst-
ing of blood vessels quite frequently. A
cough or cold means inflammation (fever)
and congestion, and these in turn indicate
that the boly is full of poison and waste
matter. Simple relief, as found in patent
cough medicines, and a whiskey, often re-
sult in more harm than good; as they
cause more congestion. A tonic-laxitive
cough syrup will work marvels and here
follows a prescription which is becoming
famous for its prompt relief and thorough
cures. It rids the system of the cause, ex-
cept it be consumption. Don’t wait for
consumption to grasp its victim, but begin
this treatment which cures some in five
hours. Mix in a bottle one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce com-
pound essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Take twenty
drops every halt hour for four hours. Then
one-half to one teaspoonful three or four
times a day. Give children less according
to a?e.

New Orleans, La., Nov. 28.—The cot-
ton market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 4 to 8 points on good cables.
First prices were the highest in the
early trading, as heavy profit-taking
by longs began immediately af|er the
first call. Comment on the floor of
the exchange was that the crop esti-
mate of 11,445,000 bales of a local
newspaper was a little higher tljan the
bulls expected, which hastened liquid-
ation on their part. There was no
great demand from any sourse, and at
the end of the first half hour of busi-
ness prices were 11 to 14 points down
from the top. The weather map indi-
cates much rain and cold weather in
the cottpn country, but it had no ef-
fect on the market.
The Hill interview and the large
number of December notices issued in
the New York market were regarded
as bearish features of importance and
increased selling for both accounts.
Commission houses said that outside
traders were liquidating heavily.
Around the middle of the morning the
more active months were 21 to 24
points down from the highest and
16 @18 points down from Saturday’s
closing level. Strong bullish interests
came to the support of the market at
this point and their buying checked the
decline. Toward noon the tone was
steadier on reports of a good spot de-
mand in the interior. At noon prices
were 2 to 4 points under Saturday’s
close.

Austin, Tex.,. Nov. 28.—The state’s
financial condition at the close of
business Saturday was in fine condi-
tion. according to Chief clerk Edwards.
There yas a balance to the credit of
the general revenue andkalso the other
funds of $1,560,000. Of' this amount
approximately $200,000 is in the vaults
of the state treasury and the remainder
in the 31 state depositories. All casn
in the depositories draws a fraction
over 3 per cent interest on the average
daily balances. It is the opinion of
Mr. Edwards that there will be enough
available funds to run the state gov-
ernment all during the present fiscal
year, or until Sept. 1, 1911. After that
period collections .will be coming in
under the new low tax rate of 4 cents
on the $100 valuation, then it remains
to be seen whether this tax will pro-
duce sufficient revenue to run the gov-
ernment.
The improvements being made on the
beach front by the cit yand the coun-
ty of Galveston are making satisfac-
tory progress.
The brick paving on Strand, from
Eighth street to the seawall and on
