ACood Demand For Cotton and

NEW YoRE, Nov. l6.-R G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review says: The scare about
gold exports had no real significance, and
although q, o 900 more will go out to-
day, the stock market has been recovering.
The government monthly crop report
has caused, as usual, rather more uncer-
fainty as to it's Interpretation than pre-
viously existed as to crops. The cotton
statement, lacking account Of acreage ON
which IL is based was Of only speculative
value, and the mere ramon that Mr.. NELL
had reduced his estimate OF the crop ac-
fually weighed more han the official esti-
mate.
Wheat perplexes the oldest ~inhabitant.
There Is really little reason 10 expect a
yield larger than last years, but western
receipts of s, 202, 664 bushels, against 1925
$50 last year, do not mean scarcity OF
wheat. Probably IL Is true that the at
tempt TO induce farmers TO keep back their
wheat in July has ended, as usual. in
much bigger sales at lower prices in No
vember.
Corn is scarcely lower, but all know
that the supply will largely exceed all
home and foreign demands.
The demand for products OF iron and
steel falls of. Prices are sinking, having
declined 2.7 per cent for the week and GA
per cent from the highest point.
Buyers Look For Lower Prices.
Shipments Of boots and shoes are 5s,S1S
GASES for the week, against ~, 4b2 last year.
Because buyers expect lower prices, many
of the works nave closed, and man
ufacturers are offering considerable reduc-
tiops.
The wooden manufacture has to meet
this year with two difficulties, the remark
able demand for clay worsteds, which has
encouraged an advance of 10 per cent In
price. and the heavy imports Of wooden
goods. But sales Of wool continue large,
in spite of the fact that part Of the works
are closed or working only part force.

these. When you wanted to be a boy
you could join your children in their
pleasures and plans, in their sports and
sorrows; when you wanted to be a
lover, you would always find your wife
ready to listen to the same sweet words
You told her in the June nights of long
ago; when you wanted to be married
man you could take off your coat and
put up stoves, and get out and do the
marketing, and study up new ways of
how not to forget what your wife told
you to get down town; when you want
ed to be an old man you could sit down
in your Office and wonder where you
were going to get money enough tc

grave cares and responsibilities of q
