Not least of which Is that parasites or tape worms, as they are called, are re sponsible for an Immense amount of suf fering. Thou sands of these creatures have been brought to me by peo ple who have taken the New Discovery and I Nick Emmerirk. now know -that an Immense amount of supposed stomach trouble Is caused In reality by one of these parasites. A man or woman may be afflicted in this man ner for years and not realise the tru cause of their suffering. When I first sold Cooper's New Discovery I did not know that the medicine would remove this trouble. I have since found that It Invariably does so. The following letter Is a fair warning of the symptoms as ex perienced by an Individual thus af fected: "I was always tired. My stomach bloatod and the slightest exertion made me sick, weak and disxy. My appetite was variable and a good night's sleep was 'unknown to mo. When I awoke In the morning I had a bad taste In :ny mouth and a coated tongue. I hoard of the won derful benefits that were being de rived from Cooper's New Discovery, and decided to try it. "The horrible tape worm, sixty feet long, that had been sapping my life away, passed from my system alive and squirming after f had taken three dose. Now I have a splendid appetite, every trace of stomach troubto has disappeared snd my digestion Is good. I eleep well and am gaining In Strength every day."

Postal card returns from repre sentative gins received by me indi cate that the total ginning for the entire belt up to the 26th of Febru ary has been 12,527.000 bales, against 12,168,000 ginned up to the lth of January. As the ginning la very generally reported to have bean com pleted for the season, it is impossible for me to believe that this crop, even making allowance for llnters, can possibly exceed thirteen million balea. Spinners' takings up to date Indi cate requirements for the year of certainly 13,500,000. The prospect Is, therefore, that we shall finish the season with a visible Bupply Impossi bly small in proportion to the de mand and the world's trade. A recognition of this fact Is already cre ating quite an active demand for the hitherto discredited New York stock, which is now being found to have a splnnable value not previously ap preciated. There is, moreover, a growing feeling of apprehension over tho prospect for next year's crop. Throughout the belt the season Is re ported to be from ten days to a fort night later. Ir. the Atlantic States the use of fertilizers has decreased about fifteen per cent., and many good authorities say that a conse quent reduction in acreage in that section of the belt Is Indicated. In the Southwest ordinary farm laborers are demanding and receiving wages of two dollars a day, wh4ch fact would seem to militate against any substantial Increase In acreage there. If It should develop that the next crop Is at all seriously ; menaced, the situation would become acute In the extreme.' In many Cases spinners are already reported to be under contract up to March, 190S. 1 esti mate the short Interest In the New York market alone at nearly TWO MILLION BALKS. It has been the fashion during the past season to buy stocks and sell cotton and the declining stock market Is reducing the margin which many cotton bears have available for the protection of their hort cotton contracts. The cotton market to day has been an exceedingly nervous one and commences to show extreme apprehension on the purt of the short Interest. (Signed) THEODORE H. PRICE.
