by ii. az II. Beer.
From an opening level of about points,
when compared with closing of last night,
December, 9.43 against $50, local market
sold off an additional points to 9.38 for
December. The easier feeling In early
hours was attributed to the delay amend
ing settlement of differences between Eng
land and Russia as a result of the lat
ters mistake in firing on the British flag
few nights ago. the uneasy feeling be-
inf reflected in lowering of foreign gov
eminent securities, French rentes clos
ing 271k points lower than closing Of yes
terday English consols 7-16 lower Large
importers of Liverpool however took a
favorable view of the situation looking
to- an amicable settlement of the trouble
and purchased largely of future con-
tracts at home, which recovered the early
loss of about points and closed the Eng
glish market practically unchanged from
last night, although spots there were off
10 points, middling, 5.32; sales only 5000
bales, rather small for full session. The
upward tendency of the foreign market
from the low level reached, occasioned
considerable buying on the part of Amer
lean shorts. who were Influenced In the
same direction by smallness of Houston
receipts for tomorrow. There was a good
deal of buying on presumption that gin
ners report at noon would be construed
bullish, and the demand for contracts
was SO general that December was soon
up to 9.57, about 10 points higher than the
lowest of the day

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
30 their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
uent.
