Cost Of Cotton Forecast

Cotton traders who had escaped
financially from the blunder made by
government officials in their forecasts
on crop conditions during the growing
season viewed with some humor the an
nouncement in Washington yesterday
that only $4,000 had been expended in
preparing estimates on acreage and
yield. One trader declared that he as
we'll as the government would have
been at least $4,000 richer if the fore
casts had been omitted entirely. It
will be remembered that the Depart
ment of Agriculture attributed the
startling discrepancy between the Sep
tember and December estimates of the
crop to lack Of funds Traders recent
" have asserted that in their opinion
it would be wiser because of the weight
attached to government statements to
omit them entirely rather than to put
out inadequately prepared estimates. In
this connection it will be interesting to
see whether the appDrtionment for the
department is increased next wear.

American Malt Sells Plant

Liquidating trustees Of the American
Malt and Grain Company have sold the
Buffalo plant for 100000 to a Mime
apohs milling concern. One-ffth of
the purchase price IS payable immedi-
ately, the balance next April. The Buff
falo plant, with a storage capacity of
2.25O,000 bushels Of grain, is the larg-
est owned by the company. This sale
leaves the trustees with three more
plants to dispose of, two at Chicago
and one at Milwaukee. The latter is held
at approximately S125,000 Trustees are
scheduled to meet early in January,
when it is expected that q liquidating
dividend viii be declared. Earlier in
the year dividend of ST share was
paid. and it is believed that the next
disbursement Will be the same amount
According to R. H. Manner, one of the
liquidating trustees, stockholders will
probably realize $40 a share in iqui-
dating dividends for their shares, ex-
elusive of the dividend declared early
this year.

In Wall Street
woodin Sees Improvement Ahead

Next year should witness an i'm
provement in the equipment industry,
according to w. Fl. Woodin, president
Of the American Car and Foundry Com
pany, but the extent of the betterment,
in his opinion, will depend to a large
extent on the American farmer. 'Jf
we have banner crops next year and
the farmer gets good prices" he added,
"the railroads will not have the equip
ment to handle the transportation re-
quired. The railroads Of this country,
and for that matter the whole world,
have been neglected gince the war
started. Their equipment has been run
down. and they are behind even the
ordinary requirements. Perhaps half
the freight cars in use on American
railroads to-day need repairs. But even
q repaired car has its limitations.
There comes a time when new cars
are absolutely needed. II the rail-
loads of the country do not order new
equipn ent this winter they may face a
very great shortage Of freight cars
and locomotives next summer"

Stock Market
lnslecision Regarding Imrne-
diate Outlook for Prices
Seen In Uncertain Move
naents; Business Lighter

Indecision regarding the immediate
outlook for prices, coupled with the ap-
proach OF the holidays, tended to re-
strict interest In the financial markets
yesterday AT the New York Stock Elk
change transactions were little moro
than half million. Irregularity and
rrtce fluctuations within narrow boun-
S'nries characterized the trading in ir-
vestmcnt bonds, as we'll as in specu-
lative issues.
The drawing to close of 1921 bust
ness IN itself would not explain the
sudden diminishment of interest, but
IN the absence of dynamic news devel-
opments the holiday period intensified
the tendency toward dullness.
In the foreign exchange market, toe.
the same quietude prevailed, with price
changes irregular. The pound sterling
was unchanged marks were frmer and
French francs easier. Despite the fact
that all me bonds in the new $50 900. :

American Gotten Oil Rallies

Selling above "a, American Cotton
Oil common yesterday was more than
3 points above last weeks final quota
ton and profit taking later failed to
cause any severe break. The advance
was attributed in some quarters to in
dications of a strengthened financial
position. 1t was supposed that some
outstanding notes would be taken up.

ress has been made since the August 81

Cotton Prices Adjusted

Price movements of cotton futures
on the New York Exchange yesterday

that the latest government figures on
production had been fully discounted
In fact many thought that the final

governments estimate.

cable rates on London at the close

though at one time during the day they
got as high as S422.

though at the close small declines we're
registered IL francs and some of the
others. Scandinavians were slightly
iower. Dutch guilaers, Swiss francs

Call Money at 6 Per Cent

For the second successive day call
money loaned at 6 per cent at the
Stock Exchange yesterday. 1t was the
first time since early in November that
the Street has experienced such a
sequence. Time money was also slight
~ drmer yesterday, with some thirty
day loans being arranged on a Il per
cent basis, an advance Of one-fourth of
per cent The present tendency in
tire money market is held by bankers
to be but temporary and due to the
aftermath Of the tax payments and ap-
preaching end of the year financing re-
quirements, which are ALWAYS heavy.

The Very Next Dose of This
TreaCherouS Drug May
Start Trouble.

You know what CalOmel Is. It's mer.
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is danger.
Gus. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, crampng and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out just go to
your druggist and get a bottle Of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomeL Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just 90 back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and YOU feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not c.-Advortisoment.

UMPIRE ALWAYS HAS HIS SAY
Judgment on Any Ruling in
Baseball Game.

Every time an umpire talks, during
n baseball game, he says a mouthful
of law.
Baseball managers who have felt
the occasion to protest a ruling have
found this out. When his honor the
ump speaks-that is all there is to it.
It's all over but the protesting. And
that doesn't mean anything, says the
Chicago Post.
Recently, the Cleveland Indians pro-
tested a ball game because, so iris
Speaker claimed, Yankee player in
terfered with an Indian who was try
Ing to make a catch. The protest came
after the umpire ruled that there was
no interference.
Ban Johnson was miles away from
the play, but the ump's word was plen-
ty good enough for him.
Truly, an umpire always has his
say!

No occupation in connection with

capable riders seem able to stand sue

Jockeys who refused to take their call

promising boy Is disciplined for indis-

The period in which success is to

self-denal and the most scrupulous
fidelity to the interests of employer

badly torn by the mad rushes Of the

Yet the MeXiCans enthused, cheered

the matador succeeded in bringing
down the bull.
Boxing Is mild compared to that
