COTTON TOUCHES NEW
LOW FOR MOVEMENT
Indication Lacking of Fresh
Buying in Important Volume.
Close Barely Steady
New York, Dec. >

Cotton continued its movement down
ward today. touching new low levels for
the movement. after IT. had started
firmer.
There was no indication of fresh buy
ing III any important volume, and it
was realized that, with accommodating
supplies, with the goocs trade unsettled.
and with futures so weak, southern
holders are undergoing Il severe test of
confidence. Business was fairly active
early, but it soon decreased.
A renewal Of southern selling. led by
New Orleans. and further speculative
long liquidation, gave the late after
noon market a weak undertOnc.
Near the close there was partial
rally on foreign buying. Final prices

A CLEAR COMPLEXION
Ruddy Cheeks Sparkling Eyes
Most Women Can Have
Says Dr.. Edwards, a WeII,Known
Ohio Physician

Dr.F.M. Edwards for 17years treated
scores of women for liver and bowel all
ments- During these years he gave to
his patients prescription made of a
few well-known vegetable ingredients
mixed with olive oil, naming them
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets. You will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a
normal action, carrying off the waste
and poisonous matter in ones system.
If you have pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes pimples, coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out
of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for
a time and note the pleasing results.
