NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The cotton market opened easy at unchanged prices to a decline or points under liquidation and selling in ex- pectation of reaction based on rather dis- appointing cables, somewhat heavier receipts

After showing some further weak. ness immediately after the opening when the three active months were about 9ds points net lower. prices were rallied sharply by a re- newal Of bull support. The local bull leader appears to be buying aggressively and large buying orders were executed by houses with New Orleans connections, while the Southern market itself led in the advancing tendency with July there reaching 1928 Inside of the nrst twenty minutes prices here had passed the previous high point and the advance was May S.5o.

This was due to the war cIouds a, foreign buyers were not slow to avail tben0 selves of the more threatening aspect of af- fairs. As regards cotton itself, the s,tnat;nr has by no means weakened on the contrsr, the demand continues active, the supplv shor,s signs of exhaustion. Manufacturers are raoo nlxing the changed situation and what is Ynoso sellers consider it dangerous to stand in fhe wary of higher market In fact the hieber the market goes, the less opposition is shown by the remnant of the bear force. The Unen ing sales at 39Io points decline, but there was no anxiety to sell and at once there Was recovery and subsequential advances wara recorded. especially in July, which sold up to l5. 60 soon after the market opened The bulis In New Orleans were reported As securing the country for all of the available supply of spot cotton. The general belief is that the high price has attracted cotton to market very Een- erally and that the interior is bare of supplies as never before. A fall in supplies is not im- pfooable beginning with the coming week. Liverpool closed at 49e points net advance Outside buying here was again heavy and by good people Holders at 8 cents profit were nnpTepared to sell.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 26-Again the cotton market worked to new high records today. The July option was the leader and the active months followed quite closely The cables were disappointment to the bull forces but the latter discountenanced this feature and began bidding for big blocks of the various months, However. It soon became apparent that the oulI forces were getting too much cotton lin proportton to the advance in the market and buying orders were withdrawn, while at the same time some of the smaller speculative in- tereSts began to work for a reaction The market declined. having somewhat heavier re- ceipts and less favorable news from the Far East as backing. The trade as a whole was quite active and there was better dIstribu- ton. It is notable that on the reactionarv movements the business seems to become quite active and from this it is inferred that the higher the market goes the greater the danger for the outside interests. The advices from the south with regard to the spot markets were quite builishly inclined. although the demand was reported to be moderate while Offerings in some instances were a little more liberal The estimated port receipts for the day were 3o,ooo. against 3s,4S4 for the same day last year.

Two or three years ago bitter COM
plants were heard throughout this
country from men who were over 45
years of age. They said it was impos-
sible for them to get jobs when out of
work. The employers said they would
have none but young men. The loudest
complaints were heard from bookkeep-
ers and clerks. To-day more restrict
ed employment line is being drawn,
and wOrklngmen are the sufferers. The
Carnegie Steel Company gave notice
recently on reopening some of its
plants that in certain departments no
men over 80 would be employed. The
Pennsylvania railroad has gone far
ther than that by discharglng a num-
Der of road and shop men and station
employees because they were hired af-
ter they had reached that age. Labor
leaders see in this action a blow at the
unions. They are apprehensive lest
other great employers Of labor will
proclaim the same policy. Then what
will become Of the middle-aged men
who usually have families dependent
on them? They are the conservative
men whom an employer should wish
to keep. II large employer were to
announce when he began business that
he would hire none but young men, be-
cause he wished to train them up to do
| his work as he wanted 1t done, and
| desired them to remain in his employ,
| If they pleased to do so, until they
were quite worn out, there would be
| no ground for fault-finding. That is
the policy Of banks and mercantile
houses. They select young people who
| grow up in the establishment. The
Carnegie Steel Company and the Penn
sylvania road do not say that that is
their policy. For all that Is known to
the contrary 1t may be that they be-
lieve more work can be got out of the
average man of 25 or 35 than can be
got for the same wages out of the
average man of 40 or 45. Generally
speaking, that Is not the case. The
older men, If they have taken any care
of themselves, are not deficient in ply
sical vigor, and have had more expe-
rience than their juniors. Experience
counts for great deal in all trades.
The prescription of workers for no
other reason that that they are over 35
would be as heartless as 1t would be
short-sighted. 1t would provoke a spir-
1t Of fierce resentment among all who
have crossed that dead line," as well
as among those who are nearing 1t
and see near at hand the day when
they will be thrown contemptuously
aside like squeezed lemons. Almost
the whole community would rebel
against such an Infamous edict

my friend could have hit him across
the nose it would have ended the mat
ter then and there, but the canoe was
too narrow and its sides too high for a
crosswise stroke.
My friend couldn't even kick, for he
was kneeling on the bottom OF the dug
out, and If he tried to stand up he
would probably capsize.
Just then the canoe drifted round so
that l could look into it and l beheld
the porcupine bearing down on my
helpless friend like Birnam Wood on
its way to Dunsinane, his ruffle of
quills erect, fire in his little black ewes
and thirst for vengeance in his whole
aspect. My friend made one or two
final and Intellectual jabs at him and
then gave it up.
"It's no use" he called. 'I've got to
tip over" and the next instant the
canoe was upside down and both bel
ligerents were in the water.
The porcupine floated high, and
quickly made his way to the beach and
disappeared in the woods. MY friend
righted his canoe and we resumed our
journey.

UPStTTING A PORCUPINE.
Observation-Disclosures


One hot August afternoon two men
were padding along the edge Of lake,
each in small dugout canoe. w. d.
Hubert, one of the travellers, tells in
"Forest Neighbors, of an adventure
which befell his companion. They had
noticed porcupine asleep in the sun
shine on the nearby horizontal trunk
Of tree, the roots of which had been
undermined by the waves till 1t leaned
far out over the lake, hardly a foot
from the water.
My friend, by the way, writes Mr..
Hubert, is the foreman of lumber
camp. He has served in the British
army, has hunted whales off the coast
Of Greenland, married wife In Grand
Rapids, and run street car In Chica-
go. He Is quite chunk of man, tall
and decidedly well set up, and 1t would
take pretty good prizefighter to whip
him, but he learned that day that a
porcupine at close quarters Is worse
than a trained pugilist.
Look at that porky!' he called to
me. "I'm going to ram the canoe into
the tree and knock him Off into the
water. Just you watch, and you'll see
some fun"
laid my paddle down and awaited
developments. Bang! went the nose
Of the dugout against the tree, and
the porcupine dropped, but not into. the
water. He landed in the bow Of the
canoe, and the Mortified look on my
friends face was a delight to see.
The ''porky" was wide awake by
this time, for l could hear his teeth
clacking as he advanced to the at.
tack.
Great Scott He's coming straight
at mew
The porcupine certainly was game.
saw the paddle rise in the air and
come down with tremendous whack
