Letter from a Traveler.
Ka.vs.as City, Mo., Sept. 20, 1882.
1 think it a duty I owe to humnnity to say what
your remedy lias done for me. One year ago I
contracted a bad'-ase of blood disease, and not
knowing the result of such troubles, I allowed it to
run on for some time, but finally applied to the
best physic ian in this city, who treated me for six
months. In that time I took over COO pills of pro-
toiodide of mercury, ki train each, and had run
down in weight from 210 to 157 pounds, and was
confined to my bed with Mercurial Rheumatism,
scarcely able 'to turn myself in bed. Being a trav-
eling man. some >f the fraternity found me in this
deplorable conditio;-., ami recommended me to try
your specific, ,-y"'had been
as they knew cured by its
of severn lHR^* JtSE^ JBSuse. I corn-
Cases that menced the
use of it with very little faith, and in less than
three weeks was able to take my place on the road.
The sores and copper-colored spots gradually dis-
appeared, and to-day I have not a sore or spot on
my person, and my weight is 217 pounds, being
more than it ever was. I do not wisn v
you to pub-
lish my name, but you may show this letter to any
■who doubt the merit of S. S. S., for I know it is a
sure cure.
Y ours truly,
J. H. B.
Some thirty years ago there lived in Montgom-
ery. Ala.? a young man who was terribly afflicted.
After being treated for a long time by tne medical
profession of tliis town with no benefit, he com-
menced taking S. S. S. After persistently taking
It two mouths he was cured. Being acquainted
Vrith him for twenty years thereafter, I can testify
tutu the disease never made its return.

Special Notice.
The temporary loss of
one Compress can not in
any manner affect the
COTTON interests of
HOUSTON.
I can take care of all
Cotton consigned to me,
sell promptly, and get bet-
ter prices than can be real-
ized in any other market.
COTTON is always ful-
ly covered by insurance
when in my hands, and no
delay in paying when a
loss occurs.

T.W. HOUSE.
Everything indicates a large and pros-
perous business ahead. To meet this I have
supplied myself with an ample and well-
selected stock of Groceries, and I cordially
invite interior mercha?its and the trade
generally to call and examine my goods and
prices, feeling assured, with my many ad-
vantages and large facilities, I can offer
them great inducements, and save them
both time and money.
It is conceded Houston is the best cotton
market in the State, and to confirm this
fact I challenge comparison of sales with
those made in any competing market. As
an earnest of how well J can serve those
who may be kind enough to entrust the
handling of their Cotton to me, I will re-
fer them to my many patrons who have
shipped cotton to me the past two seasons.
All I ask is a trial. Will make liberal
cash advances on all consignments and
insure quick returns.

Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is
with! ; its manifestations without. Hence, to
cure the disease the cause must he remove!, and
in no ■ ther way can a cure ever be effected.
Warner'B Sflfe Kidney and L.iver Core
is established on just this principle. It realizes
that
95 FFR CENT.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and
liver, and it strikes at o;ice at tiie ioot of the diffi-
cult j . The elements o'" which i is composed act
directly upon these great organs, both as a food
and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy
condition, drive disease and pain from the system.
For the innume able troubles caused by un-
healthy Kidneys Liver and Urinary Organs; f..r
t e Distressing Disorders of Women; for Malaria,
and tor physical derangements generally, this
great reme ly has no equal. Be \ are of imposters,

A Better Tone to Coffee—Oats Dearer
—Corn Firmer—Iiard Unchanged—
Cotton 8teadierand Generally Higher
News Office, Saturday. December 9.—For the
last day of the week business in general trade
circles was good. Oats are firmer, and the quota-
tion for car lots on track has been advanced, the
St. Louis market being telegraphed as strong and
higher. Corn is also firmer and a shade dearer.
Coffee is unchanged, but favorable advices from
New York and Rio have caused a better feeling.
Bacon and dry salt meats exhibit a better feeling,
but quotations have not been altered. Dry salt
meats in the St. Louis market were reported as
steady by the Exchange telegrams. Pecans are
dull, the local demand being insignificant, and
most of the receipts are reshipped. Turkeys are
in good demand, but prices remain about the
same. Chickens are easier, mixed coops bein^r
quoted at from $2 75<&3 25 per dozen. Lard is un-
altered, and the quotations for hides and wool are
repeated. No alteration in the quotations of
Louisiana sugars took place during the day. Con-
siderable additional receipts are ex-
pected by to-morrow's steamer from
Morgan City. Spot cotton in the Liverpool market
ruled with a moderate inquiry, which was freely
met by holders at previous prices. Tha takings
amounted, however, to only 8000 bales. Futures
opened and closed firm, with no perceptible altera-
tion as compared with the latest prices of Friday.
At New York spots opened quiet but steady and
closed firm and unchanged, with sales of 2131 bales,
the greater portion of which was in transit. At the
opening futures were steady and sliglitlj- higher in
price, ruled quiet but firm and closed at an ad-
vance of from 10^12 points on the latest quotations
of the previous da v. Sales, 81,000 bales. Spots at
New Orl ans opened quiet but closed steady, prices
being advanced J^c. on all the grades, the transac-
tions footing up 8500 bales. Futures opened firm
and slightly dearer and closed steady at an adva ce
varying from 10® 12 points. Sale , 36,700. Locally the
spot takings were small,amounting to only 780 bales.
The Exchange advanced the quotations for ordi-
nary and good ordinary ^c, and officially recorded
the closing tone as firm. In options there was a
moderate business doing, sales of 2800 bales being
reported up to the close at 3 p. m. The market ad-
vanced 10@12 points on Friday's prices and closed
steady. The day's receipts at all United States
ports were 40,825 bales, an increase on the same
date last year of 1400 bales, and make the excess in
the receipts since August 31, 182,223, as compared
with the corresponding period in 1881. The foreign
shipments of cotton from this port during the day
were 12,053 bales, valued at $089,150. Steam cotton
freights were reduced, the rate to Liverpool direct
being posted at 7-ltid. and to Liverpool via New
York at the same figure.

Xtlarkets by Telegraph-
New York, December 9—Governments strong
and higher. Railroad bonds generally rirui. State
securities dull. Stocks irregular, fluctuating fre-
quently between weakness and strength until tho
last hoar, when the market was rather heavy and
prices declined la ter -.iss uri l a«.i».e
preferred, to 94^. with dividend of 11 1-10 per
cent. This stock and Union Pachic were bUh
quoted t-v. uiv. gutter 2 15 o'clock. The hr-<t q; , . i-
tion of North Pa iftc ev. div. l^ei: g 8» from .. i.ic.i
it iidvanced to85 -v, and reacted to mu. Union »r:.:e
was quoted ex. div. at 10'-s,andwee:.ne I to 9. % . he
general list, o.siae from ihe stocks ab ve n.;n«ed,
decliu«vl v^. 1 >fa. The exceptions to the general
weakness in tne Jast hour was Hannibal and sc. Jo
preferred, which a-ivanced 2. The Omaha
stocks also continued sirong up to claso at
the highest prices of tae day, the preferred having
advanced 5, and common . Northwesc advanced
1 for the day. The Vdlard siiares and Western
Union were the weakest stocks. Ihe cojnmon talk
on the street was that Vauderbiit was buying
Omaha, and the report seemed to have corro<>era-
tivc, evidence in the buying of his known brokers.
The Commercial has the foilov>iu£: " While the
impression was sedulously given out that tiie
railway business would not he settled until
Monday afternoon, the information has
leaked out that everything was settled
to-day. The appointment of a commission
of four was but a little game of bluff. The Omaha
could not have advanced so decidedly without souie
positive knowledge coming out. It is understood
that as soon as to-day's meeting adjourned ihe
commission of four met. and agreed to report to
Monday's conference that rates be restored in the
Northwest at once; that all traffic be pooled to ail
competitive points for one year; that ail building
be suspended, following the example already set

New York, December 4.—The movement in
bonds is larger, and encouragement for the stock
market Is derived from this fact. Chesapeake Bs,

86V4(&87; Ohio and Mississippi Springfields, 114;
Wabash 6s, 79; Jersey Central consols. 10'J>£.
The St. Paul earned ia November $2,072,000,
against $l,569,'K.»o in 1HS1. and $1,472,000 in 18b0.
The Richmond and Danville system earned from
November 1 to 24, $396,514, against $331,058 last
year.
The Missouri Pacific system earned the fourth
week in November $1,053,947, or an increase of
$288,000 over last > ear.
The Long Island road earned in November $170,-
773, or an increase of $29,437.
The gross earnings of the Jersey Central for the
year are estimated at $13,500,000
The Pacific Mai! is understood to have nearly
cancelled its lloatiny debt, beside which the com-
pany has paid cash for four new steamers. The
freight offering for the. last New York steamer was
larger than could be carried.
The Reading road is expected soon to have a
shorter line from the Atlantic seaboard to Chicago
and St. Louis than is possessed bj' any other coal
road.
Money was comfortable at about 5 all day. The
treasury was a debtor at the clearing-house for
$1,260,000. There seems to be less anxiety about
tightness, an l it is known that more effectual
means for the regulation of the money market are
being earnestly considered in financial circles,
from which a favorable outcome is looked for. A
prominent London financier Las written a letter to
the treasurer of the United States on this subject,
which is likely to appear in print this week.
It is reported thai at the meeting of the Western
Union executive committee, on Monday next,
plans will be submitted for the retirement of the
allege! illegally issued $15,000,iXW stock, and the
substitution of bonds therefor. Legal authority is
represented as having passed favorably upon "the
scheme.
Sterling opened dull at 4.S0t£ and 4.84££, but it
was soon unexpectedly marked up 10 4.81 and
4 85. This was said to b«r due to " settlements"
and absence of commercial bills, receivers being
disappointed in their remittances by mail. Some
of our largest drawers were buyers of bills.
Government bonds were firm"an i wanted; 4ssold
at 120, with 12Uj-fo a^ked; $40,000 3s were taken at
102^<&102.
Cottou opened 6 points easier in consequence of
a very weak Liverpool. There is. however, a man-
ifest reluctance to sell it short at quotations, and
an equal indifference about loading up for a rise.
Manufactured cotton goods show another reduc-
tion. Representatives of the Southern dry goods
trade look for a more active market in January
and February than was the case last year.

THE FUTURE CF TEXAS.
G-alveston to be the Port of the South,
and Texas to Expert Wheat and
Meat in X*ar§-e Quantities*
[From the New York World, Dec. 4.]
Lord Douglas Gordon, who arrived in this coun-
try from Scotland iu September last, and has since
tnen been hunting ia Texas, returned to this city a
few days ago, and is now stopping at the Hoff-
man house. In an interview yesterday with a re-
porter of the World, Lord Douglas said: 44 The Earl
of Aylesford, Captain Hargreaves and myself,
after visiting the principal places of interest in tl.e
West, left St. Louis on the 18tn of October in a
special car. kindly placed at our disposal by the
Lake Shore and Erie Railroad company. We had
a good cook and were pretty well provided with all
the necessary equipments for a hunting tour. We
stopped at Trinity, and went still hunting after
wood deer. Th. > were very plentiful, and we
killr.d a lar.-e number. While ar. Trinity bay we
met a number of Scotch families, some of them
from my own part of the country. They seem con-
tented and prosperous in their new homes. We
next proceeded to Houston and stopped over for
the duck and snipe shooting. We were a little
early for the former, but the snipe were plentiful."
" Did you find that the climate agreed with you?"
"Yes; we enjoyed perfect health. The climate
of Texas is as near perfection as it can be, and I
think the State has a great future before it. The
land is unrivaled fcr ranching purposes, and the
railroads are enterprising and constantly increasing
their facilities. We were particularly pleased with
Galveston, and were greatly interested in the har-
bor improvements that are now progressing there.
The method adopted in these improvements ia
very ingenious. The current of the stream is
turned by blankets of brushwood that are sunk
with stones. The current running straight out to the
sea, instead of along the shore as formerly, carries
t: e sand that used to accumulate and form
the bar, away. As the work progresses a greater
volume of water will pass through the
center of the harbor and will be the
means of moving the bar entirely. Should the ex-
periment prove successful I think that Galveston
will become the port of the South, and an enor-
mous trade will be done there iu exporting cotton
and meat, for it will allow ships of any size to sail
up to the wharves. From Galveston "we went to
New Orleans, and from there we traveled through
Louisiana on the New Orleans and Pacific rail-
road to Dallas, and thence on to Colorado City.
We intended stopping there for some shooting,
but, changing our plans, went on to Ei Paso. I
had heard many stories about the recklessness and
brutality or the cowboys, but I am glad to say that
I was agreeably disappointed in them. We were
treated by them with uniform kindness and hos-
pitality. They are nature's noblemen. A finer
aud more manly or better built set of men I never
saw."
*4 Did you succeed in killing much game? M
" In some places there was a great quantity of
game. From the windows of the cars near Carson
we saw great herds <. f antelope. It is a curious
tiling that, although these animals will 1 uu along
the track for miles iu large numbers, they \wll
never cross it, coming close to the edge aud thru
starring back Thousands of them ca.i be seen
from the windows on one side of the ci^rs, but not
one appears on the other side. We shot, a number
of antelopes, and Lord Aylesford, the great h;;:uer
of our party, was particularly fortunate. he
killed over "fifty. It 1 ecaiue quite cold while we
Were in Carson, and one day a terrific li-.rther
came upon us whiie we r. ere out hunting, making
it hard work to keep comfortable. It all the
romance out of prairie hunting for me. I shall not
soon forget that night, th> fire roast'.:: • me behind,
and the wind freezing me in trouf. We tewt trav-
eled over the valley V and alia route. It is the most
beautiful line of railway I ever saw and runs
through grand stretches of country v. ith magnifi-
cent views of valleys and lulls."
•* What are your impressions of Texas ? "
441 do not think there is auv future ror sport ia
Texas. The buffalo and wild tark. y u .!» , vase to
exist there m a lew years. But for ran- hing pur-
poses it is the finest country in the won ' It is a
great pity that there are not f reaU r i..v dh ; s of-
fered to capitalists. The Karl 01 Ayivstord and
myself came here to purchase land, but we founl
no satisfactory pluce, as the holders did not wish
to sell in large blocks."
