Each succeeding week is marked by
further improvement in the commercial
and financial situation of the United
States Daily orders of large proper
tiOns are being placed with American
manufacturers and increased exports are
scaling down the unfavOrable balance of
trade held abroad, to meet which the
500. o0C, 900 gold pool was formed. The
effect of these developments has been
to place foreign exchange in a more
favorable position. and to dissipate eff
fectually the spirit of pessimism that ac-
companied the stagnation of the nations s
business Immediately after the outbreak
Of war in Europe.
The manner in which New York, the
financial center of this country, has met
the financial crisis that confronted 1t,
has caused bankers to conclude that
New York is to become the great money
clearing house for the Western hemi-
sphere An Official of one of the larg
est of New York banks recently said:
An event has recently occurred in
South America which in it's broadest
aspect is epoch making; Recently when
payment was being made for shipment
of hides purchased in Argentina, the
seller asked for bills drawn on New
York in dollars, instead Of on London
in pounds This was the first time in
the history of Argentina that American
exchange had been accepted in payment

Cotton Exports Revive.
one of the brightest features in the
re- csta blishment of foreign trade Is the
revival in cotton exports and Increased
orders for American made cotton goods.
The week ended October Z marked the
greatest total in cotton exports since the
outbreak of the war.
The executive head of an important
New England mill. discussing the cot
ton situation in Boston a few days ago,
said that the New England cotton in
dustrv was just beginning to get the
first tangible evidence of war orders.
Within two weeks. he added, 100000
wards of cotton duck have been ordered
for export-presumably for tent pur-

This did not represent stupendous
amount in dollars and cents. but 1t
showed a revival in cotton goods de-
mand. and was looked upon as a fore
runner for other large orders which may
go far to clearing the present serious
state existing in the South.
France placed with New York mills
another large order. calling for SoOo
dozen so per cent woolen shirts. These
stimulated gasolene exports also. Be
tween September and october more
than 10000 barrels were shipped from
New York. or five times the normal ex-
port of the product within that period:
A large part of the supply is supposed

confronting this country. according to
financiers, is the financial condition or
the great railroad systems. Railroad
heads in both the East and West are
continually pointing to increased TAXA
ton and betterment expenditures. and
reduction In revenues.
Railroads Cut Expenses.
The marked economy to which the
transportation lines are now resorting
to cut down operating costs is revealed
in the reports for August submitted to
the Interstate commerce Commission
by 139 roads covering ,137 miles. The
gross earning1 for the month were
s217. 1894 as compared with s227, Ar
3l5 for the same month Of 1913 Despite
the decrease of nearly $40. 0O0,00o in gross
revenues. the net earnings were S2.-
G26, ,979. against $50. So, $50 for last year. or
an increase of approximately s2,1i1.0Oo
In the field Of legislation the country
has been most concerned during the
past week with consideration of the
Clayton antitrust measure and the war
tax bill The former, after receiving
several amendments at the hands of
the Senate. which made it stronger
and saner bill, is now awaiting the sig
nature of President Wilson. The war
tax bill has reached the Senate. and like
the antitrust bill. probably will under
go certain changes there. which, 1t is
generally believed. will improve it.

one fifth of a grain every hour until a

hours he gives the patient half ounce
Of citrate of magnesia, with syrup Of
lemon TO disguise the taste. or he keeps
the bowels open with the mild laxative

and all animal food should he excluded
