COTTON UP 226 POINTS
IN CONTRACT MARKET

NEW ORLEANS, November 8
R.--Last week was probably the
most active of the season In the con-
tract cotton market and witnesses a
recovery in prices of 226 points from
the low point for December contracts
at 1870 Saturday a week ago, that
option having risen to 20.l6 Friday.
The main cause of the advance was
the strengthened technical position Of
the market brought about by drastic
liquidation of the long interest dur
ing the week following publication
of the Government crop estimate Of
Il, ,226,00O bales and building up of a
large short interest.
The covering of this, owing to
heavy rains in the Central and West
ern belts, which, according TO ac-
counts. have destroyed d considerable
amount of unpicked cotton. was the
principal cause of the advance.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Buying Foreign Bonds With Caution
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Recent developments in Europe con-
strued favorably as to political sta
bility need careful analysis before it
is assumed that financial improve
ment necessarily follows. 1t does not
do to jump to the conclusion that be-
cause a long step forward has been
taken toward permanent peace that
the way is clear for all the nations
concerned to pay their debts.
Reduction of armaments does help
balance budgets, but it is easy to be.
come too optimistic, and there are
other considerations to be weighed by
the investor in foreign bonds. 1t does
not even follow that the funding of
war debts to the United States Gov
ernment incurred during and after
the war Immediately raises the in
vestment status of the obligations OF
these governments privately f1oated.
By just the amounts that these Euro
pean countries agree to pay annually
to the United States Government are
their expenses increased.
In some instances the higher yearly
charges will be provided for by new
loans sold to American individual in.
vestors. In a sense this Is transfer
ms lllc buldCil lloill llic boNSl
of the United States to the American
investing public. For undertaking
this risk there will be compensation
in the shape of "a high interest re.
turn, but there will need to be, for
there will still remain risk. / do not
want TO discourage the buying of for
eign bonds. Many of them are un-
doubtedly sound. but it is still essen
tial to use discrimination and &c
leave this field to those qualified by
training and by capital resources.
In the long run foreign country
can pay interest and principal on its
bonds only when its income exceeds
its expenditures and when it is able
by creating an excess of exports to
set up a favorable balance of trade
New loans will serve temporarily, but
they do not solve the problem perma
nently.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

Or. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. These
little olive lored tablets are the re-
suit of Or. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel COM
plants with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomei does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or caIo-
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth ?
CalonneI sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. II
is best not to take caIomei. Let Or.
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "duIlness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take Or. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "iogy"
and heavy" They "clear" clouded
brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15c

RAW MATERIALS
IN FINE DEMAND
Manufacturers See Good
Business for First Two
Quarters of 1926.
BY j. {. ROHLE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, November 9.-Nlanu-
facturers in a score of lines are filling
their raw material needs further in
advance than at any time since 1920.
This can mean only one thing-that
they are confident the trend of busi-
ness will show no decrease through
out the first two quarters of 1926.
Manufacturers today are requesting
bids on contracts for materials for de-
livery after mid year of 1926, although
in most cases their present contracts
will not expire until February or
April. This policy is especially
marked in the demand for containers.
Manufacturers of boxes, bags, barrels,
bottles, cans and other receptacleS are
being Urged to submit bids for long
time contracts.
Rising Price Trend Seen.
The container men assert that this
policy on the part of their customers
indicates beyond question a general
rising trend in commodity prices and
in those of manufactured articles.
The manufacturers, they say. see an
increase in demand during 1925 and
q consequent opportunity Tor hlsher
prices. They reason that IL TINS
rising trend affects the manufactured
influence on the materials they have
to buy Consequently they are anX-
ious to close for materials at present
figures.
Buy Far Ahead of Needs.
One manufacturer of ginger ale, for
example, has ordered enough cases
so that the concern is able TO have
between 1000 900 and 100000 cases
,l,,tf too oil "a
time Another soft drink manufac-
turer whose present contract for
cases does not expire until April i,
has asked bids on a siXmonth sup
ply Box manufacturers are chary
about bidding on this advance busl-
ness, since they profess inability to
forecast whether lumber will be up
10 per cent or down Is by next April.
They predict however, that boxes
will be up at between 3 and 10 per
cent by Spring.
The volume of business now being
done in tissue and wrapping paper
bags, paper board and paper boxes
is we'll above that for the last quar-
| ter of 1924.
CONSUMPTION of tin containers in
this country now is at "a record rate,
and demand in foreign markets Is I'M
proving. Stocks of tin are very small,
and are being tightly held. Prices
are still high. and normally consum-
erS would be exceedingly loath TO
make commitments for supplies be
yond January ! in view of the posi-
bility of a slump in metal prices.
However. so insistent is the belief in
a big business in 1925 that contracts
are being made in large numbers from
next years supplies.
Sales of canned goods are bound to
be stimulated by the celebration OF
Canned Goods week. which began to-
day all over the United States. More
than 500 committees in various cen
ters have taken steps to acquaint the
public with the value of food which
may be bought in bulk and stored
away until needed.
