deathly sick I would have to sit down
to keep from fainting. My nerves
were in an awful condition, and even
the rustling of newspaper would
completely upset me. My condition
finally became so bad I had to quit
work and was confined to my bed for
three months.
During these four years I tried
every sort of treatment and medicine

it, until now I feel just like a new man.
I am back at work and can eat any,

City Statistician

S'atistlclan of the National CITY Bank.
'hat the percentage of gain in guam
uty exported in the six-year period
IS but little greater than the per-
een'age of increase in quantity in the
IKE period Immediately preceding the
war. Values, on the other hand. have
increased enormously, so that the
showing of the country seems more
striking than it really is.
IN anaiyzing the foreign trade fig
ures MIR. Austin says:

IN which there has been material

'he quantity exported in 1920 was 25
per cent below that of 1914, yet the
stated va ue was actually 1926 per cent
greater than that of the larger guam

exports Of cotton. if sold at the 1914
prices, would have brought only one
third as much as the recorded valua-
ton in the 1920 official export figures.
This radical boost of more than
haif-blllion dollars in the export fig
ures OF single article cotton was
due to the fact that the average ex-
port price of the smaller quantity of
cotton exported in the fiscal year 1920
was SO cents pound, as against an
average of 13 cents a pound in 1914,
or just three times as much per pound

Answer-The three American rail-
road bonds issued in francs are entitled
to various ratings. The Central Pacific

put under the new mortgage authorized
by the stockholders this issue will be

as offering rather unusual speculative
investment opportunities. We do not
know what the status of The French
government guaranty on the Midi
Railroad bonds is. If the government
was unable to meet payment of the
principal and interest the bondholders
might sue the French government, with

Decline in Sugar
Causes Coca-C.ola
TO Delay Dividend
Necessity of Writing OFF
Losses on Purchases at
High Prices Given as
Reason for Posiponemen.

The necessity of writing off losses
on sugar purchased at much higher
prices has caused directors Of the
Coca Cola Company to postpone &C
tion on the quarterly dividend of 81
a share due at this time on the 5OO,-
900 shares of no par value common
stock outstanding. Directors met on
October l to consider the question of
dividends. This meeting was post
poned until yesterday, when 1T was de-
cided definitely to delay consideration
of a distribution to the common
shareholders.
A reorganization Of the official
roster Of the company was announced
in the election of Charles II. Gambler to
the presidency in place of s. C. Dobbs,
w. c. Bradley, Of Columbus, Ga, was
made chairman Of the board OF di-
rectors, Harrison Jones and p. s.
McCash were elected vice presidents.
An official statement issued after YES
terdays meeting, which was held at the
Guaranty Trust Company, said:
"The Coca Cola Company HIS had
a prosperous year. The profits for the
past nine months, ending September
80, 1920 have been $4,090,O00 before
taxes and dividends
"The necessities of the sugar situation
have required the accumulation and
carrying of a large quantity Of sugar
with an amount on hand sufficient for
several months requirements A large
sum Of money is necessarily invested
therein, and the uncertainties of the
general financial situation make it ad-
visable to conserve the present cash
resources of the company, and to that
end the consideration of a dividend has
been postponed.
"Durin the year sl,3oo,o0o in new
buildings and improvements has been
carried to capital account out of earn.
lngs, affordlng increased capacity"

tcmber than in August or one year ago.
"The buying wave that was started
by the recipients of extraordinary war
profits. including therein the skilled
and organized laborcrs, has passed. A
more normal balance between buyers
and sellers has followed. 1t is very i'm
portant that business men and wage
earners shall realize this fact and its
industrial consequences in the form of
more vigorous competition, require
ments of increased efficiency, smaller
profit margins and greater personal
