L1AN RESOLVENT.
A remedy composed of ingredients of extraordi-
nary medical properties essential to purify, heal,
repair and invigorate the broken-down and wasted
body—QUICK, PLEASANT, SAFE and PERMA-
NENT in its treatment and cure.
No matter by what name the complaint may be
designated, ffltiether it be Scrofula, Consumption,
Syphilis. Ulcers, Sores, Tumors, Boils, Erysipelas,
or Salt-Rheum, diseases of the Lungs, kidneys,
Bladder, Womb, Skin, Liver, Stomach or Bowels,
either ohronic or constitutional,' the virus of the
disease is in the BLOOD which supplies the waste,
and builds and repairs these organs and wasted
tissues of the system. If the blood is unhealthy,
the process of repair must be unsound.
Tlie Sarsaparlllittn Resolvent not only is
a compensating remedy, but secures the harmoni-
ous action of each of the organs. It establishes
throughout the entire system functional harmony,
and sudplies ehe blood-vessel* with a pure and
healthy current of new life. The skin, after a few
days use of the SarsaparilHan, becomes clear and
beautiful. Pimples, Blotches, Black Spots and Skin
Eruptions are removed; Sores and Ulcers soon
cur.nl Persons suffering from Scrofula, Eruptive
Diseases of the Eyes, Mouth, Ears. Legs, Throat
and Glands, that have accumulated and spread,
either from uncured diseases or mercury, or from
the use of Corrosive Sublimate, may rely upon a
cure if the SarsaparilHan is continued a sufficient
time to make its impression on the system.
One bottle contains more of the active principles
of medicines than any other preparation. Taken in
Teaspoonful Doses, while others require five or six
times as much. One JJollar Per Bottle.

HOW THE COTTON CROP WILL DISAPPEAR.
The writer of the following, which appeared in
the Liverpool Post of May lfi, Is said to be a well-
known authority in the trade, who very seldom
oommits himself to such decided views as these:
The American crop may reach 6,500,000 bales,
against 5.157,000 last season, or an excess of 743,000
bales. From this must be deducted 6% per cent,
on C,5000,000 bales for extra waste, say 227,000 bales.
Egypt is sending 450.000 cantars. equal to 90,000
bales of American weight, less than last season,
and the shipments from Bombay are estimated as
likely to be 50.000 to 100,000 bales less, say 65,000
bales of American weight making, with the deficit
from Egyt, a total of 155,000 bales, or with the 227,-
000 bales extra lass in spinning the Amerioan crop,
an aggregate of 383,000 bale ■ to be deducted frofn
the 743,000 bales excess in the American crop; and
leaving 361,000 bales as the actual excess to be dealt
with this season, the greater part of ^hich will have
disappeared by the end of September. People now
wonder at the size of the crop. In Ootober they
will wonder what has become of it. Of course
there Is no scarcity of cotton, but there is not so
much of it that it need be thrown away; and time
will show that, regarding cotton on its own merits,
there is nothing to justify the doleful view just
now being taken of the prospects of the market."
We believe that most American spinners who have
tried this year's very low grades will hardly agree
to so large an estimate as 3^ per cent, for wastage,
while, as we pointed out two weeks ago. the crop is
not likely to fall below 6.600,000 bales; but the de-
pendence which the Liverpool authority places
upon the increased consumption the world over is
probably well founded.
THE LATE DEPRESSION IS THE RIO COFFEE MAR-
EBT.
The Bio de Janeiro correspondent of the New-
York Commeroial Bulletin, writing under date of
May 4, says of the oofifee trade: The coffee mar-
ket continues quiet and inactive, although the re-
ceipts have been unusually large. As oonjpared
with last year, the sales have been large, but that
is due mainly to the depressing effects on last year's
market of the Government speculation in coffee.
There has been a decline here in the currency prices
of coffee, and a further decline in sterling cost
through the fall in exchange. The sales for the
month since my last report were 273.440 bags, prin-
cipally for Europe. The total clearances during
the calendar month of April were 304,538 bags,
againsi 266,415 bags in the same month of 1SS0, and
2,793 bags in the preceding month of March. The
clearances, with destination, during the month of
April and the ten months of the present crop year,
as compared with the same periods of last year,
were as follows:

CURRENT PORK PACKING OPERATIONS.
[Cincinnati Price Current, May ?6.1
The past week shows but little change in the rel-
ative packing operations compared with the pre-
ceding week, but there is a continued decrease as
compared with corresponding time last year, the
returns indicating a total at Werteru points of
125,000 for ! he week, against 120,000 the preceding
week, and 200.000 during corresponding time last
year, making a total of 1,155.000 hogs from March
1 to date, against 1.810.000 a year ago, or a decrease
of 655,000. Values of hogs have been fully sus-
tained during the week, and seem likely to bold up
well in the future. Special reports to the Cincin-
nati Price Current show the number of hogs packed

Weekly Review of the ITIarket.
The course of the market during the past week
has been, with few interruptions, in favor of hold-
ers, who realized an advance of %c. on Saturday
and a further advance of >4c. yesterday. They still
1 old firmly, realizing only in small quantities yes-
terday when further advances at New York and
Liverpool, also favorable Manchester telegrams,
and some support from a speculative stimulus out-
side, imparted something ot buoyancy to the
general feeling, and there was a general advance
in all the leading markets, with a revisioa of prices
highly advantageous to holders, and especially
holders of medium and low grades. The close to
day indicates continued strength at Manchester
and a slight modification of yesterday's figures at
New York. The general feeling is, however, averse
to selling, and the transactions for the day were
limited by the continued high pretensions of fac-
tors.

The Mexican National Railroad has published
a pamphlet which contains the following:
Within this year the engineers of this company,
while locating routes, have discovered valuable
and excellent bodies of coal and iron ore oa the
lines of the railway. Large beds of coal have
been opened near Laredo, and others on the
Mr.nzanillo line. Excellent coal abounds in the
State of ilic'aoacam, in the neighborhood of the
road. The Mexican National Railway is built
in pursuance of a decree of the Congress of the
Republic of Mexico September 13, 1880, for
the construction in Mexioo of the following
lines of railroad, with corresponding tele-
graphs, namely: 1. From Mexico City to the
Pacific Ocean at the port of Manzaaillo, or be-
tween that port and Navidad. 2. Prom Mexico
to the northern frontier at Laredo. 3. From
Matamoros to Monterey via Mier ; from Zaca-
tecas to San Luis Potosi and front Zacateoas
to Lagos, making in all a system of orW
9000 miles. The work of 'actual coo-
rtruction began in the fail of 1880, aad hat'
since been pushed with vigor and energy. Atl
Laredo connection will be made witti the Gail!
coast of the United States by means of thai
Texas Mexican Railway, and another line ia
building down from San Antonio, and expects
to reach Laredo this autumn. This will put
the Mexican National Railway m direct com-
munication at Laredo with the railway system
of the United States. Up to this year there
have been lees than 400 milee of railway in all
Mexico. The distance from New York to Xan-
zanillo, by way of the City of Mexico, is less
than that from New York'to San Francisco,
and the line is over an equally varied soene ot
plain and prairie and mountain grandeur.
The Mexican National Railway is the Suez
Canal of the New World—its short route to
the Indies.
Only sixty miles remain to be graded to fin.
ish the grade on the Texas and Pacific road to
El Paso. The grade of the Missouri-Pacific
Railway is completed from Fort Worth to
Waco. South of Waco the grade work i3 pro-
gressing favorably.
11 1-:.4 TUISH A yj> CROPS.
Comanche Chief: A good corn crop is an as-
sured fact, provided a prolonged drouth does
not set in. Wheat harvesting is progressing
slowlv, on account of the scarcity of labor.
Help can not be procured at any price. Wheat
is turning out fine, and the supposition is that
the yield will average twenty-five buehels to
the acre The careless worm is doing greaf
damage to the young cotton crop. Oar lartnw
reports that he lias planted three times, an '
the worms have destroyed the cotton as soo.-
as it came up.
A Castroville letter says crops look splendid
and will yield well.
Lavaca Herald: Farmers are working hard
to get out of the grass. Cotton is very back-
ward, but may yet make a fair average orop
if it escapes the worms. Corn is doing well,
mid is generally shooting to ear. Oats are
ripening.
Denton County Post: It is now believed that
many acres of the present orojp will hatve to bo
abandoned, owing to the continued wet weatfa-
er aad scarcity of labor. The farmers have
used uaprecedented exertions to save their
crops, and some of them will only loose a part
after a tremendous effort- The fruit crop
will be light in Texas this year, though it is be-
lieved that enough for home consumption will
be raised. A great many orchards that were
protected abound with fine young fruit, while
a great many are barren. The grape aad berry
crop is exceedingly fine.
Jefferson Democrat: The continued rains
are proving very injurious to farming inter-
ests. It rains nearly every day.
The Brownsville Cosmopolitan says: The
orop3 are all made; corn is getting too hard to
eat; we have had plenty of rain, and every-
body has done well. There will be more corn
made on our coast this year than ever before.
