Muscle Massage in Rickets

As an aftermath of undernourish
 ment during the war period, rickets has become common disease among children in Germany. To stimulate the flabby muscles of these little patients
 without riskng malformation of the softened bones, many curious devices have come into use. according to an illustrated story appearing in the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York, September 10-Rather a more bullish view of cotton price pos abilities has been reflected in the ac- ton of the futures market here during the past week. Recoveries of between 2 and cents per pound have not been fully maintained in the case of the later months but October deliveries made no ground for the movement dur ing todays trading. selling at 29.60c, compared with 25.o0c the low record of last.
 The advance of this month was at tributed to covering by trade and spec ulative shorts owing to the compara- lively small stock of certificated cot ton in the local warehouses and the ap- proach of contract maturity, although there are still fully two weeks in which to .bripg cotton here from the south before the first notice day.
 The earlier week advances in the de- liveries were considered due to the bull fish average of weather and crop news and rather hopeful goods trade prospects. The latter were prob ably encouraged by reports that some of the woolen mills would resume be- ginning next week and Liverpool cab les reporting better prospects for a settlement of disputes in the British coal mines. Later week advices indi- cated that negotiations between gov ernment and miners had failed to reach an agreement however and the Liver pool market showed renewed weakness during today's trading. The weekly report of the weather bureau made an unfavorable showing which was taken as foreshadowing a probability of bul fish nidnonth condlrion figures as a result of continued showers or rains in the south and rather low tempera- lures.
 Light ginning returns from all sec- tions except Texas as reported by the census bureau in the first statement of the season, were regarded as furn- ishing additional evidence of late crop and consequently increase the damage from a continuation of unfavorable weather or an early killing frost. Much of the demand on the advances was at tributed to covering. however and the relatively easy ruling of the later months was supposed to show the in- nuence of an easier technical position .as well as prospects for improved wea- ther at the end of the week.

Coffee Market Rv Asaoc;afed Press

New York, September 10.-The market for coffee futures recovered part of it's recent losses during the days trading. The opening showed an advance of ? to 5 points, owing rather to better Rio cables than expected, and after some little ir- regularities, the market did better on cov- ering for over the weekend. This was accompanied by reports of steadier tone in Brazil, and local brokers said the market showed the effects of a firmer technical position after the earlier week declines. December sold up to S. 35c and closed at S.34c with the general list clos ing at a net advance of 22 to Zf points. September, 7.74c; October, 7.94c: Decem- Der, 34c; January, s.5Sc; March, s.93c; May, 9.13c; July, 9.2Sc.
 Spot coffee was reported in moderate demand, with prices noninally un- changed at s14c for Rio Is and If to D for Santos As. Offers of Rio Is were reported in the cost and freight market at 1%c, American credits, and there were rumors of lower Santos offers, including As at 11lAc American credits Other of- fers of well-described As ranged from 1234c to 13c.
 The official cables reported an un- changed market at Rio and no change in Rio exchange rates. Old style futures in Santos were 400 reis higher to 175 lower, and new style futures unchanged to 175 reis lower. Brazilian port receipts. 47,0oo; Jundiahy receipts, 5000.
 Santos cleared 24.60o and Rio 22,so0 for the United States.

New York, September 11.-Cspecial)-
 How have the enormous exports from ths

 no other replies than those which are general or based upon guesses have been | naue' Ot course it is evident that credit III large amounts has been granted either ! dlrectly or indirectly by the exporters.
 occasionally some payments are made
 In cash or it's equivalent, and perhaps the most interesting and suggestive of the payments of this kind is one which was
 made by Germany recently.
 Germany acknowledges that the need of certain copper and of certain materials llhe cadmium and selineum are so great that unless they can obtain these ma
 terials their industries will lag Ger
 many has been compelled to turn to the united States in order to secure them. While technically we are at war with
 Germany, yet there is no war in fact, and trade is progressing on the whore very favorably. We shall be able to ex- port copper to Germany provided satls- factory arrangements are made in great
 amounts, for the need of copper in Ger
 many is vital to her industries
 Recently Germany bought in the United States of one of the leading American 1n- dustries large amount of material, of which copper and it's constituents were chief Ordinarily payment is made by Germany for purchases in the United States through drafts on New York banks. But recently payment was made for the purchase above referred to in actual cash.
 This cash consisted of bills of various denominations. Almost all of them were of recent date Presumably they were national bank notes or federal reserve bill. The cash was sent by registered
 mail from Rotterdam Sche Bank Yer senging.9 In fact, this is the first time this American corporation has received pay ment for commodities sold to Germany

New York September 1o.--Brad streets tomorrow win say:
 Two divergent influences, price un- certainty and the advance of the fall season, are visible in the trade and in- dustrtal situation. resulting in cur ious current effect upon observers conclusions but on balance it may be said little more optimism is displayed as to the future and the volume of trading is larger.
 Reports from manufacturing dis. tricts, too, are slightly better despite some quieting down in buying lines such as iron and steel hitherto dis playing activity. The tone of collec- tions, too, shows a slight improvement and crop reports are better, though the lateness of the two big crops whose maturity is desired, corn and cotton, renders 1t absolutely necessary that a late warm fall season be had if present Favorable prospects are to be realized.E
