BEWARE THE COUGH FROM COLDS THAT HANG ON Coughs from colds may sead to se- sious trouble. You can stop them mow with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and in- hibits germ growth. Of all known drugs creosote is rec- ognized by high medical authoriti as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in eddition to creosote, other healing SEE RETAIL TRADE BENEFIT IN BONUS Government Officials Believe New Buying Will Aid Business. BY J. C. ROYLE. # Money made available from the vet- erans’ bonus loans is going to be spent for new goods and not to y back debts. This is the vpinion of Govern- ment officials based on the preliminary reports of the semi-annual retail credit survey of the Department of Commerce. ‘The results of the survey will be made public in the next day or so. The sur- vey is known to show that installment payments and payments on accounts to retail merchants have been met with remarkable regulerity in late months despite unemployment and the business depression ‘With employment increasing and the business situation improving, it is the belief of many officials that the bonus money will provide a decided stimulus to retail trade. There is little doubt that the money from loans will be spent promptly. Some old debts will be liquidated and the remainder will 1'10 into direct circulation, officials be- eve. Rate of Distribution. -By the end of the week, it is ex- pect:d about $12,000,000 will have been distributed, or approximately 25 per cent of the amounts so far applied for. | Just how widespread the distribution of this sum will be cannot be deter- mined, for the Governm:nt is without definite figures on the total retail trade |of the country. The data is now | being collected “through the census on distribution. One excellent authority tentatively placed the annual total at $44,000,000,000, of which he estimates $20,000,000,000 worth results from buy- ing 0:" credit. vernment authorities point out un- officially that there wouldpge little use in obtaining the loans if the were to be placed in the bank since it already is as advantageously placed with the Government as with a finan- cial house if it is not needed or spent at once. There are no means of knowing what retail lines will benefit most, but the reports for the last week to the De- partment of Commerce indicate an un- doubted increase in the financing ot automebile purchases. The furniture, clothing and food con- cerns are also expected to benefit from the patronage of the borrowing veter- ans. In some sections th: quotations on illicit lquor have shown a decided rise. So far the majority of the loans have bzen made to those who had al- their service certificates. If the call for loans spreads widely to those who have :lg:ck?rxot‘eg :}: ¥et‘ the individual maile e former service will be much larger. sg Estimate on Applications. Some Govrnment officials expect most of the 3,500,000 veterans to Ag;ly for loans. They base this prediction on the grow ng realization of the political power of the former soldiers. They point out that the G. A. R. did not reach its z'nith as a political influence for 15 years after the Civil War. There is a growing belief among the veterans that as they have 3,500,000 votes and enough men in nearly every congres- slonal district to hold the balance of power, Congress can be counted on to m‘lk! additional provision for the ex- sodiers. The borrowers must pay in- tersst on th’ir loa\s unless they are willing to see the principal eaten up by such charges. But many borrowers have indicated they intend to ignore in- terest payments, b’lisving Congress will eventually cancel the interest charges. Lower Bonds Seen. Despite the reception given the re- cent Treasury and New York City bond offerings, financial authorities are some- what dubfous about the reliability of these acceptances by the bankers as a barometer some individual investors for long-term Government and municipal securities. apparently also sensed the fact that the | bond market of today may also exhibit | speculative tendencies as well as the | slosk markec | leved that this influenced the | Treasury to hold the long-term offerings to $500,000,000, although there are $1,109,000.000 of maturing notes to be refinanced. The larger portion of the issue to be refinanced is held by banks which readily accepted the new bond offerings in exchange. It is held by bankers that the success of the Govern- | ment offerings does not carry with it | assurances of warm reception to all other bond issues. For months now the bond market has been on the move upward. Investors who seek all bargain opportunities have seen their holdings increase materially in value. A good many of these in- vestors are now preparing very seriously to relinquish their holdings and take their profits. This is developing the | possibility of a higher spsculative activ- ity in the bond market. There is and there is likely to con- elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the ir- ritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of coughs from colds, bronchitis and minor forms of bronchial irritations, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.

It 1s obvious that few high- x;l“da issues can be priced at bargain , even in the present situation. Liquidity spparently is the prime requisite in the minds of the bond buy- ers at the moment. They wish to be able to sell promptly and without price petalties. When there is m{ Clear evidence that the bond price level is near its top, a strong selling movement may be anticipated. It may be sald in this connection that the money so released must cer- (2 tainly find its way into other investment channels. Many bankers belleve that this mcney will move into bank ac- ceptances, short-term paper, short-term bonds and call money rather than in long-term maturities.” It is this very fact that has made it 8o eusy for the Government “to finance its temporary needs by means of short-term notes. As a result the bond market today, while it is active and prices have ad- vanced, is regarded by many as some- what more subject to change than it has been at many past periods. The bonds have not gone into the safety deposit boxes. They are being held reiady for disposal and delivery when their sale means a profit. This shows absolutely no difference from the normal conditicns maintained in the stock market, but speculation in bonds frequently leads to the greatly in- creased spread of this speculation into the stock list, since the advance or de- cline of stock is both quicker and more extensive than that of bcnds. Bank Investments. ‘The banks lacking the demand from customers for funds for commercial loans have increased their bond in- vestments. When business improves and commercial demands increase, this will entail the sale of a considerable volume of bonds by the bankers with a conse- quent depressing effect cn the bond market. These conditions are bound to readjust themselves within a reasonable time, but the situation t-day presents certain factors which demand close watchfulness on the part of investors.

C, THURSDAY, INCREASED DEMAND FOR OIL FORECAST Trade Expert Sees Better Outlook for Industry in Near Future. BY BENNETT WOLFE. Associated Press Staft Writer. ‘TULSA, Okla., March 12—The oll industry needs to have its face lifted to the importance of a sane manufac- turing program if it is to regain the smile of prosperity. Sound manufacturing operations, with refiners producing gasoline to meet the demand as it develops in- stead of accumulating burdensome stocks, will be followed by economic improvement throughout the entire in- dustry, says Clarel B. Mapes, technolo- gist for the Midcontinent Oil and Gas Association. Sees Optimistic Side. In an article prepared for the as- sociation’s annual report, which will be published this week, Mapes sees an optimistic side to the present trend in gasoline demand and says the oil in- dustry, when compared to other in- dustries, has reason for optimism. “Such a viewpoint is warranted,” he continues, “because studies, based on past history, together with the ten- r | dencies of the last few months, do not indicate a decline (in 1931) below the total demand for gasoline during 1930.
