t EXPECTED REACTION IN
COTTON FUTURES.
Close in New York Sensational
Made so by a Focal Speculator
Who Wanted July Contracts.
New York, Jan. 29.?The open
log in the cotton market wan
higher than last night's close
with May and July above the
best point of yesterday. Trading
was active and excited. The
initial advance was on better'
cables than had been looked for'
and reports that cotton was sell
ing ali through the interior last
night at cents for middling.
It became evident, however, soon
A after the opening that enormous
profit taking was going on and
the prices were depressed seveial
points trom the best, after which
^ they were rallied by iho firmness
in New Orleans and aggressive
ball support.
The rally did not hold and
shortly after noon there was
a rapid decline of from 55 to
65 points.
The break was reported to be
due to selling by two large commission
houses with out-town
connections, which held lone cotton
for southern and western in
terests. It was said that sales<
were made because of failure of
correspondents to forward neces
sary margins. The decline attracted
a fresh demand from;
scattered sources and with the
weaker long interests shaken
out the market rallied several
points on bull support.
The close was sensational.
K Just at the last moment a local
speculator went into the ring
and for all the July cotton in
f sight, running that mouth up to
16.18 or within seven points of
last nights close while the other
old crop positions were net 13 to
15 points lower and the new croD
months from ]0 to 38 points below
last night's final figures.
The dav's sales were estimated
at 1 200,000 bales. ?
AT NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans Jan. 23.?The
long expected reaction in the
cotton market occured today and
country longs went wild in their
efforts to liquidate. Their offerings
swamped the market for a
wniie ana prices went aown trom |
45 to 86 pointH. The prominent
bulls were heavy buyerB at the
decline and evon at the lowest
buying offers of a few hundred
bales would send the market up
10 points.
The alarm was sounded yesterday
when brokers commericed to
ask $10 a bale margin.
It is generally conceded that
^ the false reports concerning the
situation in the far east, spread
about last night were responsible
for the liquidation by the
4 weak long interest. All futures
remained bullish.
The movement was light and
the weekly "in sight" figures
were smaller than expected by
the moat enthusiastic bulls.
At one time the May options
were 80 points under the highest
level of the morning, but a quick
recovery brought them up until
they wefre only 41 points below
the highest level, and only 21
points lower than the close yesterday.
The leading bulls said
the drastic liquidation nad left
the market in healthier condition
H than ever, and more open to further
advance than for several
days past.

Gen. John II. Gordon at Antiet
1'he most conspicuous instR
of Gordon's personal courage was
given at Autietam. His brigade
held a position in ilill's division
at an exposed point near the center
of Lee's line of battle. Lee
cautioned Gordon that it was a
dangerous and vital point, and
Gordon gave his personal pledge
to Lee that he would hold it till
the huh went down. Space forbids
f ull description of the matchless
gallantry with which tie redeemed
that pledge, but his personal
experiences will convey
some idea of the struggle. He
received, first, a shot through the
calf of his right leg; second, another
shot higher up 111 the same
leg; third, a bullet through the
left arm ; fourth, a bullet through
the shoulder. Notwithstanding
these four wounds, he remained
upon the field, so weak from loss
of blood that he could barely go
back and fourth to give orders,
until a fifth bullet struck him
squarely in the face, passed out
wardly, just missing the jugular
vein, and rendered him senseless.
He was borne from the field
unconscious, without any hope
among his comrades that he could j
survive; yer, ne dia revive a few
hours later, with vitality sufli
cient to make a jest of hih mis
fortunes when his wife, almost '
heartbroken, appeared upon the '
scene. Gordon chafed upon the 1
seven months' enforced leave resulting
from these manifold mutilations.
To the day of his death
the dimple of Antietam in his
cheek was the handsomest feature
of his manly face.
Released from the bonds of
wounds, he rushed back to the
war, assumed/ommand of a tine
briirade of (ienrciaos in F.arlv'a
division, and, as if to make up
for lost time, shortly afterward
electrified Lee's army by a brilliant
charge at Fredericksburg,in
which his brigade, unsupported,
assaulted and recaptured Rlarye's
Heights.?Review of Reviews for ,

Lth?'s or Salt.
A grain of salt seems a trival
thing. Yet to it human beings
often owe their lives. Few of

of it. It exists in all parts ot
the body, and the human blood
without its particles is lifeless.
Many times when death seemed
near the vitality has been revived
and sustained by the pumping ot
salted water into the veins.
No food is adequately seasoned
without the proverbial pinch of
salt. A person requires from
one fourth to one half ounce of
salt daily. In the olden times
the Dutch need to punish criminals
by a diet of unsalted food.
Their physical sufferings were
great and usually ended in death
Not alone must salt be plentifully
added to all vegetable foods,
but meats and fowl would not be
palatable without it. The staff
of lite would not be sweet to the
palate if the snowy white particles
were left out of the dough,
and in pastry, too, salt is an essential,

Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science

The best thought of the world ih I

easier and better to prevent than
to cure. It has been fully demon
unrated that pneumonia, one of
tho most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of inUueuza

observed chat this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
