changeable weather OF the past
week are held responsible by ply
sicians for an epidemic OF colds
just now. The disease Is called
Ordinary coryza" by the medical
profession which means a cold in
the head.
While various reasons have been
assigned for the colds. Il is declared
by the physicians that no serious
results are to be feared.
DR.. Edgar Q. Bullock. when ask
ed about the epidemic said he
thought many Of the colds were the
result OF living in overheated
houses, and Dr. Julian Adair

weather responsible. Drs. James A.
Draper, Willard Springey Charles

HOLIDAY DULLNESS
ON LOCAL CHANGE.
United Gas Improvement Active
in Early Market--Pennsyl-
.vania Railroad Firm

Holiday dullness prevailed on the
local stock exchange today, the early
part Of the session bringing out only n
half dozen issues. These, however, held
steady, the slight changes in price being
for the most part above the close Of
yesterday. The utility group was fca
tured during the first hour by some ac
tivity in United Gas Improvement
Company shares, the preferred taking
the lead and scoring a gain, while some
odd lot sales of the common were un-
changed.
Shares of the Pennsylvania Railroad
took up the market leadership in the
later session. the sales in the aggrc-
gate not being especially heavy, the
price remaining unchanged and ranging
between 33h and 33h. Lake Su-
perior came in for share of attention
and was marked up a quarter at 6A.
General Asphalt was the weak spot
in the early market and made rather
poor showing throughout the session.
The first sale Of the morning was a
ten share lot that was off 7S, at G3A
and, while small gain was made later,
the issue was heavy in the limited
transactions during the day.
Bonds stuck close to prevailing levels.
Victory ANS took the lead early. selling
at .10O.02, and some Philadelphia Flee
trio 5s brought 02la.

PHILADELPHIA BONDS
TREND IN COTTON LOWER
Manufacturers Look Forward to
Better Trade With Turn Of the Year

The downward trend in the price oi
cotton yarns. which has been noticed
during the last week. is expected to con
tinue. according to the review Of trade
for the Philadelphia district by X. 6.
Dun & Co. Although there has been
disappointment among yarn sellers, the
general view, compared with last year,
is reassuring and Il period OF steady
business, with moderate profits, is con =
tidently expected.
Little change is reported in the local
wool market. Trading is mostly among
dealers. Prices are firm and steady.
Wholesalers and iobbers of cotton goods
report fair fall business. Most re-
tailcrs have sufficient stock for present
needs.
Continuing. the review goes on to
say:
Manufacturers Of mems and boys
clothing report business quiet. Buyers
arc making small purchases for immc-
diatc needs, while, in some quarters,
they are placing moderate orders for
spring.
"Wholcsalers and jobbcrs Of woocns
are doing a fair business and say sales
are principally for immediate needs and
among custom tallors.
Manufacturers and jobbcrs Of coats
and suits report n spare business. pur-
chaseS now are small and for immediate
needs. Prospects for spring appear ia
vorablc. Several quarters report col
lcctions fair.
Manufacturers OF shirts say busi-
ness Is fair. There docs not appear 10
be much advance business for spring.
Purchases for the present are for i'm
mediate needs. Coliocti ions are slow.
manufacturers Of Shirtwaists report
trade quiet. Some quarters report hHv-
ing received orders for advanced buSi-
ness, but generally the trade is quiet
aud collections in the line slow.
"PGint manufacturers, dealers in
paints and painters supplies report
business quiet with a moderate amount
Of work under way. The volume ot
business is much less than for the same
period Of 1920. There IS little change
in Dri""s and collections are slow.
wallpaper manufacturers. jObbcrs
and dealers say business is quiet. there
being but few large contracts under way.
II is the impression that there will be
little change in this line during the
winter. Prices remain about the same
and collections slow.
THE wholesale leaf tobacco trade has
been quiet. Old grades Of Pcnnsyl-
vania and Connecticut are scarce and
held AT high prices and the new crops
are not regarded very favorably. Other
grades of domestic tobacco are being
sold in rmall lots. Sumatra and IIa-
vana are only in fair request and high
prices prevail. The large cigar manu-
fncturerS are fairly active with holiday
goods, but the general trade is quiet
and tie smaller manufacturers are doing
a moderate business. The local retail
trade is fair, but cutting of prices con-
Times and profits are small. Oolec-
lions are reported poor.
Coffee is quiet with prices un-
changed. Milds are in fair demand
RIOS and Santos unchanged. Consump-
tive demand good. Ten is firm with
good demand for high grade teas.
Prices are firm, owing TO shortage of
supplies on hand"

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
(From JnO. +. Clark & Co.
By Abe SllYer.l

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. l7.--As
Liverpool yesterday closed about sew
en- down while our markets were lit
tie changed and New York on Oct
ober closed about four higher, the
English market was due come from
7 to 8 points higher but is only four
10 five up, although the further re-
action in the sterling rate should
have impelled a greater advance
abroad to overcome the depreciation
in currency relation. Spot prices 3
higher, sales 5000 bales. Market op-
ened a few points higher on little
buying in anticipation of an unfavor-
able weekly weather report but on
the whole the market looked like an
uncertain affair. Latest advices say
important Of German hosiery are in
creasing. 1t looks like a portion of
the large cotton exports Of Germany
is part of cycle transaction against
our yarns and good prices. Weather
map shows cloudy northeastern part
of belt and most Of western states,
fair rest of belt. No rain Of any
consequence western half but general
showers eastern half of belt. In the
light of fact that the Texas crop dis
aster is due to excessive heat the view
is forming that the showery weather
over the east may not be without its
benefits as it is urged that with the
poor fertilization the crop over the
east would collapse on sudden dry
heat spell. Indications are for fair
in southeastern quarter Of the belt
cloudy rest of the belt. Scattered
showers likely.
