Iodide of Potassium is one of tbe strongest of the
minerals used in medicine. and has produced much
suffering in tfcs world. Taken f/r a long time aad
n large doses. it dries up tbe <ra«:r;c juices,impairs
digestion. t'ss stomach refuses food.aad the patient
declines In htaJth and weight. Persons with Blood
or Sxin diseases should be caieful ieow they take
these ibineral poiw ns as in must instances the effrct
of them is to almost permanently impair tbe con-
stitution. To ta«e the place of these poisons we
offer you a s*f«. sure, prompt and permanent relief
from your fcrouoies. Svnrr s Sficinc is entirely a
vegetable preparation, and it is easy to convince
you of its merit.

TRIED HOT SPRINGS TWO LONG YEARS
WITHOUT RELIEF.
Mercurial Rheumatism made me a cripple. After
trying the springs two years, and the Mercury and
Potash treatment until I was a skeleton and uuable
to do anything, I was i-r-ivail^i upon to taice a
course of S.3.S. After taking tbrf»e bottles my ap-
petite began to improve aud 1 gained flesh rapidly.
When I had taken tweiv« bottles 1 felt ** well as I
ever did. It is now tw*lv«i months siuce I took
S. S. S. My health and appetite are good, and I am
able to attend to all the b .sin-ss I ..an aei.

"PUT ME SQUARE ON MY FEET."
Twelve months ago I was persuaded to try S.S.S.

Cotton Compress,
MANUFACTURED ONLY BY
the pusey& jqmes company
Wilmington, Delaware-
Having, after long and oareful study and great
expense, succeeded in perfecting the above re-
ferred to machine, we offer it now to tbe public as
the most powerful, safe aad expeditious compress
in use.
Wholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much in case of fire, and workieg with scarcely any
friction, its movements are smooth and noiseless;
and as tne wnole power is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers, coc gearing or
other devices common to other forms of com-
presses, its work is performed at less cost of fuel
per bale than any press in use.
When used in combination with Riesel's Bale
Ejector, which discharges the pressed bale as soon
as the press opens, thereby relieving the men from
that laeor. 100 bales per hour can be compressed
and tied.
The capacity of the press is 2000 tons, and this is
applied to each bale pressed.
These presses are built in the very best manner,
and with all the care that skill and experience can
command, and are guaranteed in all their details.

In the different cotton markets there was nothing
of interest transpiring during the day, spots at
Liverpool being steady and unchanged, and options
closing steady at a decline of 1@2 points. At Ne w
York a very small spot business was done, and no
change occurred in pnees, futures closing dull but
6teady and 1©2 points cheaper. At New Orleans
spots closed steady and unchanged, while options
at the close were easy but steady and 1 (&2 points
lower. In the local markets the sales were small,
being only 126 bales, and the exchange advanced
all the grades 1-16, recording the closing tone as
'firm,'* Contracts closed dull but steady at a
shrinkage of 1®2 points on last night. The re-

Business in tho General Market Quiet
--Spot Cotton Steady — Options
Shade Cheaper.
News Office, January 31.—The month closes
to-day with a very moderate volume of trade in the
general market, and values were without percepti
ble alteration, Grain remains steady, and trading
was of fair proportion. There is nothing new to
note in bog products, bacon, dry salt meats and
lard remaining steady at previous quotations. Liv-
erpool salt is in very good supply, having been in-
creased by the recent arrivals, ar.d the tone
of the market is easy but not quotably lower. In
hides and wool there is but little doing, the receipts
from interior points being light, and the range of
values has sustained no alteration. Local mille?-s
report the condition of the flour trade as unaltered,
the demand being moderately fair. In general
grocery lines there is nothing on which to base
change in prices. Coffee is steady, and importers
repeat their figures. Poultry and eggs are in good
supply, with no change to note in quotations.
The following quotations from Kansas City were
bulletined at the Cotton exchange to-day:

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS.
[Special to The News.1
Chicago, January 31.—Speculative markets on
'change are irregular, and while the leading artiA^
cles at times display great firmness, the general
feeling seems to be bearish.
The wheat crowd is bewildered. Its market is
weak and strong by turns, and why it is one
thing or why it is the other, is not possible to di-
vine. "There seems to be good buying," saii
Bliss this morning, " through brokers, of course,
but judging from the men employed, I should guess
that the principals were Hobbs. Kent and the
Adamses. There is, of course, no certainty about
it. I believe, however, that the market is a good
purchase for a turn.*'
On the other hand, Charlie Schwarte says?
There has been a scare of the shorts and a scram-
ble to cover. The alarm is over. Tbe market is
evened up. There are no outside orders. The
crowd is waiting for something to turn up. After
a little waiting, with no new support, the sellers
will begin again. When May wheat gets back a
cent or two the selling will be general."
"Rufus Hatch." continued the speaker," Is near-
ly enough identified with the Northern Pacific to
get inside information. He tells me that he has
gathered from all the points along the road the
figures relating to the amount of available wheat,
and that while the farmers have sold, the shippers
and warehousemen at ail the principal points are
loaded up with spring wheat, which is ready to
come here on any substantial advance."
The receipts of grain are likely to increase this
week. The railroads which notified their shippers
that they would not guarantee them warehouse
room here have sent out a second notice that there
is room for the present. The declaring of the
irregular houses regular, and the removal of a
good deal of grain into vessels, has made room for
upward of 2.000,000 bushels additional here.
The corn pit is comparatively neglected: the In*
terest which usually centers there having been
transferred to wheat and provisions. The packen
and their following were the largest purchasers,
aud real instigators of the rise at the close of last
week; but it is evident they were simply manipu-
lating a scalp, as their holdings were quickly closed
out at the higher range. Country speculators con*
tinue to make known their belief in the merits of
this cereal by generous orders; but the trading,
though at times animated, is generally devoid of
noticeable features.
Provisions are strong. The influences affecting
the trade have all beeu favorable to the bull side,
and, as a consequence, the movement, with the
exception of a slight break at the close of last
week, has exhibited an almost steady upward ten-
dency. The temper of the deal has undergone a
marked change since a week a?o. Then, the feel-
ing was strong, but hesitating, and operators acted
as if they were loth to start the ball imeaotioo for
higher prices. At that time grain was heavy and
depressed, and the trade outlook was such as to
cause a general bearish feeling. Provisions sympa-
thize 1, and while the influences that have changed
the ruling tone existed then, there was apparently
none audacious enough to take hold of
the market. There has since then been no
improvement to speak Of in the general business
situation, but grain has in a measure recovered
from its severe depression, and with its improve-
ment provisions have experienced a sharp upward
turn. When once turned in an advancing direc-
tion. the market was strongly backed by Armour,
Cudahy & Steevers. Bliss and other substantial
houses. It is now admitted by operators generally
that the poor character of the corn crop of 18S3,
the reduced supply of hogs, the high prices which
the raw material is bringing, and the large falling
off which the packing iu the West will show for the
present winter season are sufficient- to guarantee,
under ordinary circumstances, high prices durins
the remainder of the season. These influences
have existed and have been r< ferred to time and
again since the opening of the winter, but it re-
quired a change of front in the trade to impress
them upon operators who. while admitting their
exi-t^e have been reluctant to acknowledge
th-'ir .mmediate bearing upon product. The ebb
and flow of speculation will doubtless affect values
in the future as in the past, but product is unques-
tionably gaining friends, and is likely to close tHe
winter months at a much higher range of prices
than was generally expected at the opening.
