Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creo-
sote that is pleasant to take. Creomul.
sion is a new medical discovery with
two-fold action; it soothes and heals
the inhamed membranes and inhibiis

Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as

persistent coughs and colds and other

LIVERPOOL STRENGTH
GIVES WHEAT BOOST
Indications Point to Good Export
Business Also in Rye-Corn
and Oats Firmer.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 27.--Unexpected
strength Of Liverpool quotations gave
an early upturn today to wheat prices
here. Indications pointed to good ex-
port business both in wheat and rye.
Opening Il to q up, wheat held near
to the initial range. Corn, oats and
provisions were also firmer, corn
starting at * to 3s advance, but later
reacting somewhat.
May delivery of wheat showed rel
atively more of an upward trend at
times today than did new crop
months. In this connection, 1t was
pointed out that world disappearance
of wheat since January l has
amounted to 264,000,000 bushels,
against 100000 bushels last year.
This is at the rate of 16,500,000
bushels a week, which If continued
until the end of the year would mean
a new high record.
1t was also current gossip that the
wheat trade has not yet fully appre-
ciated the effect of actual shortage
of grain in Europe, or the consequent
possibility of almost complete eXhaus-
tion Of reserves in this country as
was the case last year. Bullish senti-
ment was also emphasized today by
reports of unusually late seeding of

IN COTTON MARKET
Anxiety Over Flood Situation
and Liverpool FirmneSs
Are Factors.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 27.-The Cotton
Market opened firm today at an ad-
vance of to 10 points in response
to unexpectedly firm Liverpool cables.
The decline yesterday seemed to have
strengthened its technical position to
some extent and there was covering
and fresh buying at the opening pro-
NOTED by continued anxiety over the
Mississippi Valley situation.
The market sagged back to about
yesterdays closing figures on July and
later deliveries under further realizing
combined with some Southern and
local selling. Rallies of several points
followed the publication of the weekly
report of the Weather Bureau, which
evidently made rather a bullish i'm.
preston on sentiment, but the un-
favorable features had been clearly
foreshadowed by the recent daily
news, and the market soon eased
again. Trading was quiet at midday,
with July selling at 1913, or s points
net higher, while May at 1894 showed
a net advance of IL points. May was
relatively steady following the stop
ping Of the notices issued yesterday.

NEW ORLEANS, April 81 R.--
Cotton prices opened 4 to IL points
higher today and after an advance
of several points dropped back IL or
13 points July eased down to 1915
and October 1884, due to selling based
on the continued good weather. Near
the end of the first hour prices pointed
upward, regaining 3 to points.

No official explanation was forth
coming for the selling which came into
the market again today in Cities Serv-
ice common. Below 4S it was at new
low for the movement, and compared
with the low for the year of 40A, es-
tablished following the drastic decline
in the issue some two months ago.
The oils generally gave a good ac-
count of themselves, with the demand
for Pandem Oil carrying the price to
new high for the movement above y.
Net earnings for 1926, after all deduc-
tions. were $685., 1867. The corporation
has 81 producing wells, and production
has shown q steady increase in each
quarter since the first strike in Sep
tember, 1925. Present settled produc-
ton was given as over 700 barrels a
day.
Among the public utilities Black
stone Valley Gas and Electric was
actively bought following it's rise of al
most points Tuesday. Others of the
group were in demand again. Electric
Bond and Share gained almost point
on fair turnover, and the same was
true of Electric Investors.
The market as q whole appeared to
have been strengthened by the sell
ing earlier in the week, and was

mand at the lower price level.
