HoW the Market
Opened

By United Press
NEW YORK, July 28.-Earnings
of SO a share for the first six months
for General Motors compared with
$717 share in the same period last
year brought support into the
market for that stock in the early
dealings today. Motors opened at
1893, up q and turned over actively,
rising to 194A.
Business reviews were more op-
timistic than in some time and this
also stimulated buying. Gains in
the first half hour ranged from frac-
tionS to more than point in the
industrial division, while rails con-
tinued to hold firm in quiet turn
over.
General Ice Cream was feature
of the specialties, rising to new
high just under 81. Gold Dust.
Union Carbide, National Cash Regis
ter and Westinghouse Electric also
were in demand.
Utilities advanced, led by Consoli-
dated Gas which rose u to 112%.
American Telephone ana Telegraph
and American Can ruled steady.
Radio rose Y point to 1854.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Fridays close witnessed the Dow
Jones industrial average in new
high ground on the recovery from
the June reaction. The final figure
of 21566 was more than point
above the peak of the previous rally
which was checked July 5 by the
anticipation of the higher bank rate
at Chicago announced on July 10.
According to the Do wtheory of
averages, this ability of the prin-
Hcipal industrials to surpass their
previous average high is a definitely
bullish indication. The rails closed
Friday at 1874, against a previous
high of 1888 on July 7. Should the
rails develop sufficient power to
push into new high ground on the
movement, it would furnish strong
evidence Of resumption of the main
advance"

NEW YORK, July 28-The Cen
eral Motors report on earnings,
showing a new high record while
in line with forecasts, is neverthe-
less fitting climax to a week of
favorable reports and rising prices
in the stock market. Other large
corporations including U. S. Steel
will report this coming week, and
it is expected that many of these
will be favorable. Business through
the Nation is satisfactory, accord
ing to the reports of commercial
agencies, and this is further con-
f1rmed by the increase, though a
moderate one, in the bank clear
ings. We believe this statement
will be looked upon with favor by
all business interests. Everything
here indicates a return of the
public to the market, and the ex-
tent Of recovery will be limited only
by conditions in the money market
as we proceed.

What Doctors Think
of the Laxative Habit

In all history, no Indian was ever known to have constipation. Nor need YOU. He chewed the bark of Q tree called cascara. Today. we have the candy cascaret.
 Cascarizing the bowels never forms a laxative habit. If already formed. an occasional cascaret will usually break the habit. For cascara strengthens the muscular walls of the bowels, and their need of any aid at all grows constantly less. What other cathartic has this char acteristic? The writer knows of none.
 An evacuation brought gently about by cascara will, nine times in ten, be followed by full functioning of the bowels on the morrow-and for days after. For there is no REACTION as with sickening salts.
