The cotton market, contrary to general expectations, was not adversely affected by the break in the stock market and call money rates going up to 8 per went. At the opening the market was irregular on the reports of rain in Texas and t're Transvaal news, but the first prices were unchanged to only 1 to 2 points lower. There was some local selling in anticipation of liquidating orders from Wall strpet, which caused a continuance of this irregularity for a while, and prices declined to the basis of 2 to 3 jioints below Saturday's closing bids. October sold: down to 5.95, November 6.00. December 6.06.

January 6.11. March 6.18 and May 6.23. Soon afterward the lighter Houston receipts and some Southern buying rallied the market, and caused covering of snorts, which carried prices up sharply 7 to 8 points from tlie lowest and 3 to 5 points over Saturday's close. On. this rally October sold at 6.02.

November 6.07. December 6.13. January 6.19. March 6.25 and May 6.31. The market then relapsed Into comparative dullness.

The market ruled easier in the late trading on some selling of October, on the higher money rates. This took the edge off the general market, but most of the early advance was maintained. Spot cotton here was unchanged, 3 for middling, with sales of 800 bales for export, 905 to spinners and 15O0 delivered on ocntracts. Shipments to Europe were large. The New Orleans receipts to-morrow were estimated at 8O0O to 10,000 hales, against 7400 last year, and Houston at 24.000 to 25.000 bales, against 35,000 last year.

My little book will be sent in plain sealed envelope, free, or may be had by calling at my office. It contains SO pages, with many illustrations, and embodies the truths I have established during my 30 years' experience as a specialist in 'the treatment of weaknesses peculiar to men, single or married, which result from youthful indiscretions or later excesses. It is written mainly to describe my Electric Belt, but also tells of my experiments with drugs, and why they only stimulate and cannot cure. I have found that Electricity, properly applied, will restore lost strength. The DR.

SASTDEN ELECTRIC BELT is, I consider, a perfect appliance, and the most scientific method of giving Electricity in existence, its important point being that it is worn 7 out of the 24 hours. You place it comfortably around your body upon goiug to bed at night. It gives strength while you sleep. I can cure nearly every case if the patient is faithful to my instructions and advice. I would rather not sell the Belt than have it used indifferently.

Electricity' is the nerve force and vigor of our bodies, and by thoroughly saturating the. system with the life-giving current.
