Money in New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. 80 Unbroken ease
continues in the market for time money
and the large acCumulations OF funds are
coincdent with a moderate demand. The
liquidation that has taken place since the
first of the year in a number of stocks
that were rushed up to extraordinary fig
ures toward the end of last year has
helped TO foTtify the local loan positiCI
At the same time both bankers and brok-
ers are showing a conservative attitude
with the intention of averting tenden-
Cies to imitation The local loan situ-
alton would obviously be strengthened
greatly if reports are true that the Brit
ish Government is seeking to borrow
rather than sell here the mobilized for
eign-held American securities.
Thus so far there has been but little
evidence of the increased offerings of
prime mercantile paper that was expect
ed to develop about this time or a little
later. As has been pointed out, how
ever, the basic conditions In general busi-
ness are unusually sound, owing to the
general spirit of conservatism and larger
use OF cash instead OF credit in many
cases and the unprecedented demand for
materials and commodities. AS hereto
fore, banks, trust companies and other
financial institutions are willing buyers
at per cent. of all offerings of choice
paper, either for short maturity or run
ming up to and Z months. This posi-
tion Is taken rather than to grant dis
counts upon short maturlties of other

COTTON MARKET FIRM;
BETTER LIVERPOOL CABLES
Business Was Small - Temperatures
Lower in Belt

NEW YORK, Feb. "A fair response to
better Liverpool cables was made by the
cotton market this morning and at the
start the tone was steady, with prices
three to seven points higher Business
was comparatively small. The buying was
quite general, wi lie the greater part of
the supply came from New Orleans in
terests, After the call the selling increas-
ed slightly, with local traders Offering and
prices reacted two to four points.
At the time of the opening here, Liver
pool reported dvances Of eight and one
half to nine points. whereas gains of but
five and one-half to six and one-half points
had been looked for. A private cable
stated that the better tone was due to
Continental buying and a cessation of the
recent liquidation.
Trading was quiet, but prices gradually
eased from the opening level under n re-
newal of scattering liquidation or local
pressure. May contracts sold OFF from
1212c. to 12.02c, with the general list
working about to points under last
nights closing figure.
Local covering in a narrow market sent
prices several points net higher in the
afternoon. Near months in the New Or
leans market continued to display rela-
tive easiness, as compared with New
York. this being taken to reflect the pres
sure of spot supplies. although there was
nothing in the news to suggest any ma
terial weakening of holders. Arrivals of
cotton at New York today were 92l6 bales,
Including 1888 bales linters. The local
stock of 232, 900 bales now includes 1900
bales linters and about GOOO bales of for
eign cotton. Exports for the day were
271S bales. compared with 96,l6O bales a
year ago.

The output Of pig IRON in january,
amounting to 3,1SS,S44 tons, according to
the Iron Age figures, was only 14,47S less
than in the record production month of

partly to the recent strike at Youngstown
plants, where n reduction of $4,000 tons
i'm last months output from December
was not quite equallcd by the January
output of new furnaces blown in else
where. The January figures were the best
for that month in any year, exceeding

When J. - Golliher. general car fore

Of Tanlac. he added his name TO a Ions
list OF railroad men who have come out
and Endorsed this great medicine.
I've been a sufferer from indiges-
ton and gastTitis." said AIr. GOlliher,
for a good many years AIy stomach
was as sour as vinegar nearly all the
time and my food would hardly digest
at all Whenever I would eat any sup
per ! would nearly always have TO
vomit IL Up. and IL would be so sour
that II would actually burn my throat.
Z had TO be mighty careful what | did
eat, and this kept ME bothered all the
time for 1 knew that / would have 20
eat to keep my strength and get along.
Gas would form and my stomach
would swell up and give me the worst
kind Of feelings. i had a pain around
my heart that caused me TO lay awake
at night. To tell you the truth. I was
afraid 10 go to sleep because I did
not know what that pain was caused
from, and ! was afraid that il might
get serious while I was sleeping
Il began 10 lose in weight until 1 fell
on about twenty-one pounds. and 1 sim
ply felt bad all the time / kept right
on working, but IL was a good thing
Tor mo that my work happened TO be
stood any hard work. I had several
Goctors TO see me. but nothing did me
any good. Ny condition kept me wor-
ried al the time, and especially the
pain about my heart
Il saw in the paper one day about a
fellow whO seemed TO have the same
trouble that I had. and he said that
Tsnlac had made a new man out OF
him, so l bought a bottle and began
on Il. Right from the first 1 felt a
change for the good, because I could
eat and IL would not sour on my stom-
ach. and I knew that ! had the right
medicine.
II kept on taking this Tanlac just as
the directions said, and now have fin
'isned my seventh bottle and am nearly
back to my normal weight In fact, 1

only about two pounds below what /

I believe that I will get those two

The pain around my heart has dis

anc get up in the mornings feeling
strong and ready for a good days

Il am glad to recommend Tanlac TO
anybody with the troubles l had. for I
believe it viii cure them IL they will
take IL. I am mighty glad I took IL,
and ! am glad TO have this opportunity
TO tell others of the benefit I got from
