ARK. EXCHANGES
 WILL FIGHT A
 XII MEMPHIS V ,: DEMAND

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-R Representing the Little Rock Cotton exchange, Pres Ment Ls g. Mcdonald of the Arkansas Traffic Bureau is in St. Louis gather ing data to combat the demand of Memphis for cotton concentration rates at that point This petition was filed by the city of Memphis against the Rock Island and other Arkansas railroads on May 16. 1916, by Attor- ney T. K. Riddick, and will come up for hearing at Memphis on Decem- Der D.
 Under this petition Memphis has asked for the same privileges on con. centration, compression and recon alignment of cotton that are now enjoy od by Little Rock. Pine Bluff and oth- CT Arkansas points.
 Members of the local cotton ex- change say the danger lies in the pos abilities behind favorable decision upon the petition. If Memphis wins, its business men can enter Arkan- sas, concentrate their cotton pur- chases there, and secure the same refund now given Arkansas compress os. This naturally would divert 8 large amount of cotton in that di- rection. and other wholesale business would follow.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and he will tell you that the first step in the treatment of cold, cough or grippe should invariably be "a brisk calomel purgative, preferably the nausealess calomel, called Calotabs." :" This alone is often sufficient to break up severe cold over night, or cut short an attack of grippe and pos sibly prevent pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eat ing, pleasures or work. Next morning your cold has vanished and your en- tire system is purified and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages; price thirty-five cents. Recommended and guaranteed by druggists everywhere. Price re- funded if you are not delighted.-Adv.

Daily Stock Letter.


UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, April 21.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Interest in today's short session Of
the stock market was Of a most per-
functory character, with little in the
over night news developments of
striking marketwise influence. Prices
on the general list were heavy from
the outset and narrow save where
bear attacks were directed against a
few individual stocks, manifesto
ton of rather spotty aspect. Trad
ing in the first half of the session
was dull to a degree and appeared to
represent adjustment of professional
commitments for the week end
There was more or less short sell
ing, but the movement was not ex.
tensive.\ Bonds were slightly more
animated and prices in general were
better with Increasing firmness in
the convertible railroad issues.
The standard issues yielded only
fractionally in most cases. Bethle
hem Steel A lost four points or so,
but elsewhere in the steel group
price changes were not extensive.
| u. S. Steel ruled mostly around the
previous closing level. Softness here
and there in the railway department
was in some quarters attributed tc
foreign liquidation.

| LONDON. England, April 21.-Win-

! "Of course, can express only my
personal opinion he said to the

me certain that the presence Of even

ut was always represented to us
that the timely arrival Of even a

Of every French soldier.
"As it turned out, our small army
achieved very great material results
| in addition to its moral effect. Per
haps it played a decisive part in the
supreme events Of the opening phase
Of the war. But now, when the ter
rible weight and burden Of this strug-
gle has pressed for nearly three
