OT ASH!
Iodide of Potassium is one of the strongest of the
Binemta used in saedicine, aad has produced much
•ring in the world. Taken fur a long time and
I large doses, it dries up the gastric juices,impairs
Hgestioa, the stomach refutes food,and the patient
declines in health and weight. Persons with Blood
or Bxtx diseases should be careful how they take
these mineral poisons,as in most instances the effect
of them is to almost permanently impair the con-
stitution. To take the place of these poisons we
offer you a safe, sure, prompt and permanent relief
from your troubles. Swift's Specific is entirely a
vegetable preparation, and it is easy to convince
you of its merit.
I have cured permanently Blood Taint in the third
g-taeratlon by tne use of Swift's Specific,after I had
most signally failed with mercurv and potash.
f. A. Togmzb. m.d., Ferry, Ga.
a young man requests me to thank you for his
cure of Blood Poison by,the use of your Specific,
after all other treatment had failed.
Jos. Jacobs, Druggist, Athens, Ga.
TRIED hot SPRINGS TWO LONG YEARS
WITHOUT RELIEF.
Mercurial Rheumatism made me a cripple. After
trying the springs two yeaw, and the Mercury and
Potash treatment until I was n skeleton and unable
to do anything. I was prevailed upon to tane a
course or S.S.S. After taking three bottles my ap
petite began to improve aad 1 ained flesh rap! ily.
When I had taken twelve bottles I felt as well as I
ever did. It is now twelve months since I took
B. 8 S. My health and appetit - are good, and I am
able to attend to all the business 1 can get.
CiiAS Berg, Hot Springs. Jan. 1, 1883.

Twelve months ago I was persuaded to try S.S.fl.

Golton Compress,
MANUFACTURED ONLY BY
THE PUSEY&J0NES COMPANY
Wilmington, Delaware.
Having, after long and careful study and great
expense, succeeded^ in perfecting tha above re-
ferred to machine, we offer it now to the public as
the most powerful, safe aad expeditious compress
in use.
VVholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much ir. case of fire, and working with scarcely any
fricrion, its movements are smooth and noiseless;
and as the whole power is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers. co« 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 Kiesel's Bale
Ejector, which dischar«r»*s the pressed bale as eoon
as the press opens, thereby relieving the men from
that laoor. 100 hales per hour can be compressed
and tied.
The capacity of the press is 2000 tons, and this is
applied to each baie pressed.
These presses are built in the very best manner,
at.d with all the i-are that skill and experience can
command, and are guaranteed in all their details.

GALVESTON FUTURE MARKET.

dull, closing firm and from 2 to 7 points lower than
Saturday's prices. Sales 1700 bales.

li'TH

Tho G3»oraI 2£arkst Quiet—Spot Cot-
tons Tirin With a Batter reeling-—
Contracts Slightly StiSer.
Nkws Ofkice, January 28.—The volume of trade
in almost all lines was quiet during the day, and the
fluctuations in values were inconsiderable. Plan-
tation agents report a brisk demand for Louisiana
sugar, a fair movement, but no alteration in prices.
In meats there is no change to note, and business
was comparatively quiet. Lard is sLso without
quotable change. Local millers report a mod
erately fair demand for flour, and repeat Satur-
day's quotations. Coffee was quiet, and concerning
the New York market, the Bulletin of Thursday
says: " The condition of affairs on the market for
Brazil grades undergoes very little change of a rad-
ical character, and complaints over the condition
of trade are by no means uncommon, with
probably the majority of operators still inclined to
grade the tone as nominal. Prompt buyers can
not be found, and when negotiations are opened
there is too much caufion and desire to exact all
possible advantages for any great amount of busi-
ness. Still, we find some exceptions to the rule to-
day, and in a few instances there was
manifest inclination to talk steadier
It was claimed that greater interest was showu
over desirable parcels, with customers willing to
pay 12c, and nothing really available for less than
12J4c, and these two figures may, in cousequence'
be taken as a range for quotations." Poultry and
eges are without quotable change, the receipts
continuing fair. There is no change to note in
Liverpool salt, and a cargo of 90)0 sacks is daily
expected to arrive. In wool there is nothing doing,
and no receipts were reported during the day. Of
the state of the trade at New York, the Bulletin of
Wednesday, in its review, says: 44 The considerable
business reported in our last issue gave rise to the
belief among many in the trade that the market
was about passing from an era of inaction to one
of activity. Subsequent events, however, have en-
tirely dispelled such ideas, as the market since has
presented no appearance of action, the business re-
ported being of an exceedingly light character, re-
flecting a feeling of hesitatancy on the part of con-
sumers, as no change of a favorable nature has
eutered into the condition of the goods market,
while the prospects are yet regarded as far from
encouraging for any early improvement. Among
the holders of the staple, fine grades are held with
some show of steadiness, but medium and low
grades are yet urged quite freely, with bids fre-
quently solicited. Buyers, however, refuse to
operate beyond wants in sight, unwilling to seek
quantities in excess of such as immediate neces-
sities make necessary/1
The following quotations from Kansas City were
bulletined at the Cotton exchange to-day:

Bacon—Clear 9-fe 9 Y\
Bacon—Riband long 9>g 9
While no marked advance was noted during the
day, the tone of the different cotton markets at the
close of business was stronger than on Saturday.
Liverpool ruled hardening for spots, but no altera
tiou was made in quotations, the day's transactions
aggregating 12,000 bales. Options opened firm, and
at the close were steady with an improvement of
about a point on the latest prices of Saturday.
At New York spots opencil, ruled aud closed firm
and unchanged, with a moderate amount of trad-
ing. Futures opened firm and slightly higher, and
closed firm at ac *ad- ance of 2(&4 points on Satur-
day's prices. Sales 1^3.000 bales. At New Orleans
the sales reached ^000 bales, the market closing
firm, with all the middling grades advanced 1-10.
Locally there was only a moderate amount of trad-
ing. the sales aggregating 768 bales. The exchange
made no alteration in prices, and bulletined
ths mar.cet as closing "firm." In contracts
trading wa3 dull, the sriles footing up only
1700 bales, but the market closed flrrn at a
decline of 2^7 points. Tha weekly tele-
gram from Fall River reports the market for
print cloths as being firm, with sales during the
week of 48,000 pieces. Of the domestic dry goods
market New York advices, of Thursday, say:
"There was a steady, though moderate, deiyand
for plain and colored cottons at first hands, and a
fair package trade was done by a few of the prin-
cipal jobbers. Brown sheetings are in irregular de-
mand, but some considerable transactions in East-
ern corporation makes are reported. Bleached
goods are moving in moderate quantities, as are
wide sheetings aud corset jeans. Cottonades are
a trifle more active in some quarters, and camlets
are pretty well sold up. Colored cottons, as tick-
ings, denirns, dncks, plaids, stripes, apron and fur-
niture checks, etc.. are only in moderate request,
many buyers having supplied their immediate
wants on favorable terms. White goods and quilts
are doing well, and stocks are In good shape.The
receipts of cotton at theourports for the forty-eight
hours ending this afternoon exhibit a shrinkage of
10,610 bales, being 23,322 bales, against 33.932 bales
for the corresponding period iu 1883. The deflcency

News Office, January 28.—Foreign financial ad-
vices during the day reported but little alteration
in values. At the B.mk of England the rate of dis-
count remains unchanged at 3 per cent. . In the
London market consols for money closed at 1)1 7-1G,
and on the account at 101>£. The rate of silver
bullion declined from Did to 5G££d per ounce, and
United States 5.20 bonds are unchanged at 104. On
the Paris bourse rentes opened at 77f. J2J-4c and ad-
vanced to 77f, 221.3c. At New York both sterling
and continental bills were firm, and in the local
market the rates of sterling were advanced. The
New York Shipping List, of Wednesday, sa3*s:
41 There has beeu a marked depression in stocks
during the past three days and th-? condition of the
market has at times bordered c *ely upon panic.
Many stocks that had beeu carrieu for months have
been thrown upon the market and the accounts
closed, In some instances at great sacrifice. No
dividends where dividends were expected, and re-
ceiverships where no dividends were expected, have
contributed to the demoralization. Confidence is
at a very low ebb. and whet Is to bo the upshot of
the present coalition of things no one is wise
enough to foretell. Meanwhile millions of capital
are lying Idle, and so conservative are the banks
that where a few months ago collateral cf a fair
rating would be accepted for loans it is now thrown
out altogether. Only the very tHJst is now received,
while the other has to be sold at the best price ob-
tainable to secure the money needed. The cus-
tomers of brokers are in many instances absolutely
unable to keep their margins good, and more stock
js being earned on which margins are short than
for years. The bears have had everything their
own way. Even government bonds are less firm
than usual. The currency sixes have sold at 128%
for 1895 and 131% for 1898.

of the packing houses are running very light, ow
ing to the scarcity of hogs, and the condition :ir-
rivals, as compared with former rears. Is very
poor. Farmers are holding back th^Ir best hr gs
for better prices, though the range of values at the
yards now ia higher than at any time since last
June. The prominent pork pack era and provisi' B
men are all in favor of retaliatory legislation
against France and Germany for prohibiting
American pork products.
Phil Armour thinks bv this means the pork pro-
hibition can be removed, and in no other way.
,4 Frenchmen are easily frightened," he savs, 44 and
it might not be necessary to go so far with them,
but with Germany it is different. Slie is not so
easily^ moved. Bismarck doesnot care how mneb
a fist is shaken in his face so long as it does not hiL
If he is allowed to prohibit American pork he will
soon adopt the same tactics in regard to American
beef and grain. The farmers should therefore bo
greatly interested in the question."

FTo The News.]
Chicago, January 26.—The leading produce mar-
fcets on the Board of Trade are active and the gen-
eral feeling is decidedly better.
Wheat occupies just now much the same position
as does the long plank in the gaipe of " see-saw."
At the present time the bears are In the dust. The
provision men who sold so heavily turned around
and bought. The shorts also covered freely and
values have moved to a higher range. As usual,
the visible supply needs explanation. It is now
said that a half million clearances from Atlantic
ports should have been, but were not. deducted last
week. If this is so the next statement will show a
large decrease. Shipments are now much in ex
cess of receipts, and it looks as if a gradual reduc-
tion of stocks might be expected. Many leading
operators, however, think that the market is not
yet ready to advance permanently and wire their
customers on every bulge lo sell and on every
break to buy.
"I am a big bull on wheat." said Bliss this
morning. *41 believe May wheat will seil a good
deal over $1 00, and I also think it will go lower be-
fore it goes higher. The present bulge isj£lv tem-
porary, so when everybody seems craz^to buy I
advise my customers to sell, as they can cover and
buy in their futures at a better price. I believe in
taking advantage of these secondary bulges."'
Several railroads, including the Burlinaton,
Alton and St. Paul companies, have declined to
take grain for transportation to Chicago unless for
sale on the track, because all the elevators are full.
The warehouses recentlv made regular are capable
of holding about 400.000 bushels more, and there
are now on track over 500.000 bushels.
Corn Is good dcman-l. with but few sellers ond
these expecting a preliminary break before the
grand bulge. Then* is still a very small outside
trade. The feeling is, however, that the lambs are
only waiting to be sure before they go abend. Latest
ceporrs from Iowa declare much of the crop which
wtis supposed to ba best to be fast rotting. If wheat
is to drop all to pieces again, then it is pretty gen-
erally conceded that corn will be dragged down
gome, too, but most of the local crowd incline to the
opinion that corn is meritorious at present figures.
How wheat and corn can be run as separate deals
is the questiou now agitating the speculative
circles.
44 Corn is worth about 65c. and wheat is worth
about 90c," said Litulblom this moraine, iu answer
to the questiou, 44 What do you think of wheat and
corn ?"
Provisions are firm and higher. The packers are
neither selling nor buying. They are said to have
ahaudoued all hope of breaking down the price of
hogs, aud are now waiting for a margin of profit.
The large receipts of hogs promised for this month
have failed to materialize. There seems to be a
possibility that the country is not so full of them as
was industriously reported up to th© time of the
packers' accession to the ranks of the bulls. Some

The Grand theater of (iuanajuati. under
construction for the last twenty-two years,
and which has cost the State, city and capital-
ists $7,000,000, is nearly finished. It is to be
dedicated ofi the oth of Slay (cinco de Mayo)
next, the groat national holiday. It occupies
an entire block, and has a seatiug capacity of
12,000.
31a jor William Hiemke. formerly of Leaven-
worth, for a year supply master of the Mexi-
can Central "under Governor Anthony, at
present general manager of the Telephone
company at Chihuahua and Durango, has put
300 telephones at work. They rent for $5 per
month each.
The exports during the fiscal year ending
July 31, 1SS3, make, on the. whole, a satisfac-
tory show ing. Total exportation was $41,907,-
505, against $29,083,293 in the previous year.
Of this amount. $*29,208,657 was in precious
metals, the increase of which was remarkable,
being .$12,844,191 over the previous year. The
exportation of other articles amounted to $12.-
178,937. an increase of $159,411. The princi-
pal increase has been in the following articles:
Henequin, $fioS,9.55; woods, $458,326; and live
stock, $296,695; while the most important de-
crease has been in coffee, $697,347; and vanilla,
£336,979. The decrease in the coffee export is
due to the suicidal policy of the State of Vera
Cruz in taxing the industry out of existence—
a state of affairs which will probably be
remedied by the new constitutional amend-
ment. With the opening of railway communi-
cation to the United States a large increase ill
the exportation of many of these articles may
be looked for, for the modern railway policy
is not to be content with taking what traffic
may be offered, but to seok traffic and en-
courage it in every way.
The Philadelphia Telegraph chronicles the
following curious facte: A dying man may be
burned with a red-hot iron and not feel pain.
Consciousness may remain to the dying almost
to the dissolution, c>ut generally they los9 the
power of thought long before actual aeath. In
cases of death in which there seems to be suf-
fering the writhing and spasms are due to re-
flex muscular action. Fear weakens the nerv-
ous system and consequently hastens death;
and the report notes the case of a Methodist
minister. He lay on the verge of death, cold
and pulseless, and friefMs around his bed sang
his favorite hymn. Ab \hey ceased, and while
the physician stood tiding his death, the min-
ister's hands movefi and he whispered
"Glory!" Restor»«^»*s were administered,
and an hour later r ««an had recovered. He
lived many years a*Ter that. He said he un-
derstood every word spoken at his bedside.
Under the nervous exciter^nt and enthusiasm
wrought by the hymn, li>> ^ul exerted his
I muscular strength, and lived.
