Samose If It Does Not Make
Thin People Fat,
Pale, thin people are simply suffering
■■" in want of nourishment. They may
eat enough, but their food is not prop
erly dig' -ted and does them no good.
Samosa, the remarkable flesh forming
food, should be used by all who are

th food and aids assimilation, so that
■ i. tai. ii for a short time, naturi will
soon assert her normal powers, and
tin food that is eaten will give strength
and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
| wants to be strong and well and gain
wealth and r >od flesh w ill find his de
i sires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
I low e<! ‘he use of Samose that Druggist

i offer generally and wants all who are

COTTON.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Decided weak
rabies resulted in the cotton market
opening 1 to 6 points lower to 1 point
higher today. The weather map showed
very favorable weather conditions with
indications for favorable weather over
Sunday, and prospects for showers in
south and west Texas. This encouraged
the bears and a heavy selling wave pre
vailed which carried most active po
sitions 7 to 11 points below the opening
prices. The buying moderate and scat
tered.

Corn was up xfu ■><<• at the opening,

I LOWED COTTON
Downward Tendency of Market
Accentuated by Weak Spot
Demand.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—1 n keeping with I
weak cables the cotton market opened I
| easier today, first prices being 7 to 14
I points lower. However, the market was
;so well suported that rallies of 6 to 9 j
j points quickly followed. Part of this was
’ due to the Giles’ report of 76.7 against .
I 79.9 for the present crop which was con- |
st rued as bullish.
The market sold off easily during the
late forenoon, and found very little sup
port. Rears were talking free offerings]
iof spots and the poor demand for the
actual causer! the market to weaken.
The August option fell from 11.32 to 11.22,
while other active positions followed the
decline closely.
Reported rains in southwest Texas,
combined with small demand for spot,
caused a still further downward move
ment during the afternoon session, with
prices 8 to 13 points below the opening
.and 17 to 22 points below Thursday’s
close.
At the close the market was quiet with
prices showing net losses ranging from 30
to 34 points below the final quotations of
Thursday.

HAYWARD <fc CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16. —Liverpool
eanu» in distinctly weak this morning,
with futures about 8 p< ints lower than i
due; spot prices 8 points lower. There
are many reasons for the weakness: In
creased offerings of new shipments, a
somewhat remarkable indifference on the
part of mills toward these offers, but,
mainly, the very favorable weather.
While continued and extensive rains at
this time last year gave rise to considera
ble actual damage by insects, this year
is noted the absence of danger from
this source, owing to the continued fair
weather, which cheeks insect propaga
tion and activity.
The map shows cloudy weather in south
and west Texas and the east portion of
the Atlantics. Moderate scattered show
ers fell In the north central and north
eastern part of the belt, with some good
rains in North Carolina where most need
ed. Elsewhere fair and dry weather pre
vailed. Indications are for further rains
in North Carolina; cloudy in west and
south Texas, with possibly some rains;
generally fair elsewhere. Palestine and
Dallas. Tex., report new bales and Bren
ham, Tex., shows receipts of 1.470 for
the week, against 839 last year.
Our market opened 17 points lower to
meet the other markets, rallied a little
on reaction by buying, but soon declined
to 11.51 for October when the govern
ment predicted fair weather for the belt.

The Journal of Commerce reports a fair

bers. Primary cotton goods maikets are
.steadier in consequence of the slight up
ward turn in raw cotton. Buying of

spinners in the South have work enough
ahead for three months.
The heavy selling of Riordan, Gwath

sold the market off today during the

Hood He.rnie & Co., Liverpool, cable as

The statement giving the movement at

this week 1,470. against 839 last year:
Dallas has a new bale, also Palestine.
It was rumored that rain had fallen at
Victoria and Markham in south Texas.
New Orleans Times-Dernocrat s sum
mary; The bulls say: "The August
movement is falling well below exporters'
expectations; rains in the Atlantic states
and at an early date would make the
demand for early cotton acute; the
character of the complaints from Texas
justify the belief that the plants lacks
sturdiness, and will make no more cotton
than last year, while the crop in the At
lantic states must be much below’ last
year’s freak yield, which resulted from a
complete combination of extraordinarily
favorable condidons. Consumption 1912-
1913 will probabfr equal that of 1911-1912,
because trade is good and because a sin
gle large crop has started expensive en
terprises among the mills."
The bears say: "Because the move
ment is not as early as it might be. Au
gust cotton is holding above a parity
with the later deliveries, a fact which has
no beating on the size of the crop or the
season’s requirement; there is no active
demand for September or October ship
ments and exporters are more worried
over lack of business of that character
than they are over possible lack of cot
ton in August; rains in Texas and Okla
homa practically assure a crop in those
states of between six and seven-million
bales, present indications point morfe di
rectly toward waning trade than toward
expanding trade."

STOCKEXMGE
One of Several Railroads Fea
turing in Trade—Market
Goes to High Level.
By CHARLES W. STRONG.
NEW YORK. Aug. 16. —After having
touched 283. the highest mark in its his
tory, Canadian Pacific was off 1% at the
opening of tbe stock market today. The
general tone was irregular with some is
sues showing good gains and others under
pressure. Profit-taking in London was
held responsible for the increase in Ca
nadian Pacific here. This stock opened
in New York at after closing last
night at 281 Later it rallied to 280%.
Tile following other gains were scored
iat the outset: Amalgamated Copper %,
I Fmelting %, Atchison %, Lehigh Valley
j Missouri Pacific %, Southern Railway
%. Among the losses were United States
j Steel %, Reading-1, Union Pacific : i» and
I Southern Pacific 1 J; Erie common was
I unchanged. Much of the pressure here
was held to be due to profit-taking. The
curb was quiet.
Americans in London after rallying
turned heavy.
The stock market was active but irreg
ular in the late forenoon. Union Pacific
declined %. Louisville and Nashville
Canadian PacificllB," 8 , Utah Copper %,
General Electric %, Pennsylvania ad
vanced % and Smelters %.
Business quieted down considerably in
the late afternoon and price movements
in the leading issues were confined to
small fractions. The copper shares made
slight gains and there was a fair demand
for Steel.
The market closed firm: governments
unchanged; other bonds steady.
