Cotton Growing in Nicaragua

Nicaragua for many years has raised
small amounts of short-staple cotton
in the district around Chinandega. The
attractive prices of the past few years,
however, have so stimulated the plant
ing of cotton that many new acres have
been given over to this crop, and this
year Nicaragua for the first time is ex-
porting cotton on a moderate scale.
Exports for June amounted to e3,258
pounds, July 212,637 pounds. and
August 71,169 pounds, making total
expectation for this year up to the end
of August OF 377,0s4 pounds. Practi-
cally all of the cotton was shipped to
Barcelona, while a very small amount.
went to Manchester.

Belgian Textile Industry

profited from the extended strike in
the French textile industry located in
northern France, and have received or
ders which would otherwise have gone
to the French manufacturers. As a re-
suit there has been a good demand for
cotton yarns. At the beginning of
September cotton spinners raised the
price Of yarns per cent, which was
the first advance since the crisis in the
Belgian textile industry, and on Oc-
tober 1 increased the operation of their
mills from one-third time to one-half
time. Some of the factories are work

returned TO block him again by en-
couraging the Ulster government to re-
fuse to accept his proposal for set
tlement of the Irish problem. They
succeeded in deadlocking the peace
negotiations so completely that Mr..
Lloyd George retired to the seaside
with his wife, who has been i'll.
Then came the Liverpool conference,
which has brought temporary settle
ment of the internal party fight, but
every one expects a general election
within a short time.
Old Parties Divided
The British foreign policy is rot sub
ject to such radical changes as is gem
orally the case with a change in ad-
ministration at Washington, but never
before has Labor been quite so impor-
tant political factor as here to-day.
1t is we'll organized, but the important
fact is that the two old parties are
badly divided.
With these things in mind, it is not
difficult to appreciate why the business
world is deeply interested in political
developments. For obvious reasons
many would welcome r general cleo
tion.
Uncertainty regarding the future is
largely responsible for the slow return
of normal conditions.
Discussion of war debts still con-
tinues, but there is no longer any ex-
pectations of negotiations being
Initiated before spring. The French
governments action in concluding a
separate treaty with the Kemalists has
not helped to improve Anglo French
relations, which had already been bad
" strained over Silesia. Still, suggss-
tions Of debt cancellations have been
inspired by self-interest rather than
idealism and all Europe is now pretty
well converted to the idea that the
war debt must be written off sooner or
later, and the earlier the discussion be-
gins the better all concerned will be.
The British are finding considerable
satisfaction in the recent report Of
coal exports, which compare highly
favorably with those of the United
States. Foreigners found it cheaper
to buy from Great Britain, with the
lower exchange rates, than from
America. For the very same reason
British exporters lost considerable
trade to the Germans.

LONDON, Nov. 2o.-The frst bene.
ncial effect Of the Washington confer
ence felt in Great Britain was the ap-
probation of the pound sterling in the
dotiar market. The pound has reached
the highest point since April, 1920.
ana the increase syrchronizes with the
announcement that Great Britain and
Japan have accepted the American
naval proposals as basis for agree
ment, which will mean the material
reduction of naval appropriations.
The dual reductions of the English
and American bank rates at the BEGIN
ming OF the month were intended to
force the pound sterling up to Sd to
give trade some help, and now the
movement has been greatly accelerated
by the favorable opening of the Wash
ington conference.
Experts agree chat the movement
must still be regarded as largely arti-
fetal and hardly justified by actual
conditions, but they also believe that
the worst of the period of trade de-
preston has passed. A fairly steady
upward general trend is now antici-
pated. Anglo-American traders are now
basing their plans on prospects of
further Improvement in the pound
sterling by spring.
Political Pot Bubbling
The political pot has been bubbling
furiously in the last week, the crisis
coming at Liverpool, where 200 dele
gates of the Unionist party met in con-
ference. Although dissatisfaction over
Premier Lloyd Georges handling of
the Irish question was advertised as
the reason for the revolution among
the Conservatives, that was not the real
cause. The truth of the matter is that
Lloyd George, who is a Liberal and
virtue of the Conservatives support in
the coalition government, has grown
too independent to suit the Unionists.
While Bonar Law was the House
leader and q member of the ministry
the Conservatives thought they had a
good grip on Lloyd George, but Cham
berlair, who succeeded Bonar Law,
never had much influence with his
chief.
The Premier won a commanding vic
tory over the Unionist party rebels in
the House few weeks ago, but they

think of changing the West Shores for

cay that l am over sixty and my earning

Answer--We think that your Cana

interest by the Canadian government,
are high grade, meeting your re-
quirements excellently. We think Steel
and Tube rs are a good investment,
but not in the same class as regards
safety with the Canadian Northern.
We would not be inclined to sell the
West Shore As unless you are badly in
need of the additional income, but
think that you might exchange your

unwilling to advise me in your published
column will you be willing to do so by
mail? I should like to get 100 shares for
$1,000. l shouldn't particularly care to
have 1t all in mines or oils. but perhaps
that is the quickest way either to lose or
win.~L. c.
Answer-We are sorry not to be able
to help you with your speculative prob
lem, but the fact is that anything we
could tell you would be merely an opin-
ion and would probably be no better
than your own. All of US can remem-
Der when we could have bought Steel
common at s, or something else at a
price that seems equally ridiculous.
The trouble is that we forget the nu-
merous other occasions upon which we
were tempted to buy other speculative
securities which have since turned out
TO be worthless, or nearly so. The only
sincere advice that we could give you
would be to invest your $1,000 in a
good, we'll secured bond, and we do so
in the belief that the proceeds ten
years from now will give you more of a
nest egg than you would have from
speculation.

What win Become of the Mark?

Question-Will you kindly give me your
opinion of buying German marks outright
to hold until the exchange comes back to
near normal; also in the event of the fail
ure of Germany TO pay the Allies. what
would become of the markf--J. R. It.
Answer-The mark is fast becom-
ing entirely worthless outside of Ger
many, and we believe that the chances
are strongly in favor of it's being de-
monetized and becoming, like the
Confederate currency of 1876, a
mere curiosity. Probably France
would have one answer and England
another IS to what would become of
things German, including the mark.
if Germany does not pay her indem-
nifty in some form or other.

WOMAN GUILTY
Of ASSAULT WITH
ACID, JURY SAYS
Wife of Arizona Engineer
Attacked School Teacher
While Under a DeIuSiOn,
Defense COntended.

Prescott, Ariz., May 19.-Mrs
Anna Irene Hopkins was found
guilty of assault by a jury in the
superior court here today, The
jury deliberated several hours be-
fore reaching a verdict.
Mrs. Hopkins was convicted OF
having thrown acid into the face of
Miss Lucille Gallagher, a school
teacher, in a cafe at Jerome, Ariz,,
March 81. At the trial the defense
attempted to show that she did this
under the delusion that Miss Gala
CHER was a tool of a group of men
who were trying to discredit Mrs.
Hopkins husband, Clarence V.
Hopkins former chief engineer for
large copper company at jerome.
The defense attempted to show that
Mrs Hopkins was insane when she
threw the acid.
once during the afternoon, the
Jury returned to the court room to
ask the presiding judge if any steps
would be taken to restrict the lib
erty of Mrs. Hopkins in case the
jury should acquit her of the as
sault charge on the ground of in
sanity, The court replied that
what would occur after such YER
dict was a matter to be decided by
the judge.
An hour and half later the jury
returned to the court room with a
verdict of guilty, Members of the
jury later said that tentative
agreement to return q verdict of !
acquittal because of insanity had !
been reached when they asked the !
court regarding the result of such |
a verdict. After the courts reply, |
the Jurors reconsidered their de- |
cision and returned the verdict of |
guilty.
