CLEARS COMPLEXION

Don't worry about skin trou-
bles. You can have a clear, clean
complexion by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for
25c, or extra large bottle at $1.OO.
Zemo easily removes all traces
of pimples, black heads, eczema,
and ringworm and makes the skin
clear and healthy. Zemo is nei-
Their watery, sticky nor greasy
and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle
for each application. 1t is always
dependable.
Zemo, Cleveland.

Results of Economic Con
ference To Be Made Pub
lie Tomorrow.
FRANCE DISCUSSES
NEW LOAN ISSUE
Financiers Find Difficult Choice
of a New Type That Will
Be Acceptable.
BY YVES GUYOT.
gS.mlnIster Of Public WORKS. Editor Of "L'Agenos
Economiquo ct Finaneere."
lBy Gable TO Tie Tribune ]

lBy Gable 20 The Tribune
Paris. June 19.-The economic con-
ference ended Saturday after secret
meetings lasting four days. The pub
lie is acquainted only with the final
speech by VI. Broqueville, the Bel
gian Premier and Minister Of War.
1t is known, however, that it took up
three questions. First, means Of
blocking supplies to the enemy; sec
ond, commercial and industrial re
naissance after the war, and the
suppression Of most favored ma
ton" privileges; third, the subject Of
peace was brought up and the presi-
dent of the Russian delegation stated
that a union of the Allies was al
ready established in the economic
domain.
The whole question Is as TO what
was meant by the word union. I
will be greatly astonished If Russia
renounces her economic autonomy.
Results of the conference will not
be published until Wednesday in the
Allied nations.
We are on the eve of new loan.
However, it is difficult for the gov
ernment TO put it out before Parlia-
ment votes on increased taxes.
Nevertheless, the conditions under
which it can be issued are being dis
cussed.
In French loans there are the fol-
lowing differences. Fifteen francs
Of income from per cents, at 81,
cost $40. The same in per cents,
at So, cost 264, and in 3 per cent
amortissables, at II, cost $50, being
As francs dearer than the former 3
per cents, and 81 dearer than the 3
per cent national loan.
Could a type like the English an
nuities be created in France, and
would they be accepted? For small
sums perhaps, but not for billions.
Financiers find the choice Of new
type of loan very difficult.

Mexican Shares Hardest Hit.

Shares of companies operating in
Mexico were particularly hard hit.
Southern Pacific, American Smelling
and Refining, Mexican Petroleum and
Green Cananea Copper were the most
prominent. Southern Pacific, which
operates long mileage in Mexico,
lost ia points. Mexican Petroleum
broke 6 points, dropping under par for
the first time in weeks, while losses
in Smelling and Green-Cananea were
~ and 2ls points, respectively. South

lion its Improbable Mexican invest

and supply movement 20 the border.

agreement. This, however, does not

Arizona line, over which the greater
mart of the troops coming from both
East and West must be distributed. Or
fcials of the Southern Paclfc said yes

MEXICAN OUTLOOK
ADVANCES COTTON
Uncertainty Checks Volume of
Trading-Last Prices Up
9 10 4 Points.

Uncertainty as TO the Mexican situa-
ton caused more or less nervousness
in the cotton market yesterday and
served to restrict business. Fluctua-
lions were narrow and irregular in con-
sequence, but the most general opinion
appeared to be that should war actu-
ally develop. it would be chiefly felt in
al increased demand for heavy weight
cotton goods, if not in scarcity OF
field labor, to the detrment Of the crop
The comparatively small volume Of
business suggested a general DISPOSE
ton TO wait for clearer view Of the
situation. Closing prices were steady,
at a net advance Of to 1 points.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported, were all unchanged. Exports
for the day were 2i,477 bales, making
5.275,909 so far this season.

Exchange Men Interested.

Foreign exchange brokers are watch
ing the news carefully. They feel
that actual war with Mexico will have
an important influence in the foreign
exchange market, in that it will cause
bankers here TO withdraw their bal
ances in London and Paris 10 assist
the home government in war financing.
The conversion of sterling and francs
into dollars for transfer home would
normally, they feel, react on both mar
ket. To what extent this would af-
feet either sterling or francs at pres
ent can only be conjectured, and il is
possible that it might be of very little
consequence, as il is more than likely
that special machintry for propping up
the remittance markets would imme-
diately be set in motion. There is also
another consideration that might af-
feet the exchanges. 1t was suggested
Yesterday that banking institutions
might be averse to buying back more
American securities from London in
view Of the prospect Of United States
government financing. A banker Of
prominence, however, said yesterday
that he believed an issue of govern
ment bonds would be taken so well by
popular subscription that the banks
would not figure TO any great extent
in the offering other than assisting
the underwriting.
