organization to help those who have
lost their positions because they look

The story of the g~ray-haired man,
strong. able and willing, being denied
wen a hearing because he looks old"
writes MI. Crossett, lis one Of the
worlds tragedies. Elderly men who
have beer laid aside only because
heir hair is gray are entitled to some
consideration. A man is as old as he
feels. and in u association we have
many men who still feel young and
capable. Our list of men seeking en-
ployment includes men fitted for every
line OF industry, and a like association
should obtain in every large city. Your
commission may be able to interest
some persons who would be willing to
take the initiative and start a PROPOSE
ton that would bring a blessing to
many a gray head and keep the wolf
from the door,"
Mr.. Crossett states that the Cleye-
land association has found employ
ment for many u~nfortunates and they
are now earning a modest living"

There is a civil war in Ecuador.
Haiti is in its normal state of I'M

COTTON IS UNDER SELLING PRESSURE Price Gives Way Only a Little-LOss of 2 tO6
 Points

New Orleans November 24.-Cotton was under more or less selling pressure today, but the price gave way only a little, the net change for the session being loss of 2 to points. The close was about at the lowest of the day.
 The long side appeared to be nervous over the approach of the first notice day for December, and the spot revision in New York tomorrow and the buying of the day was limited and not of the strong character of yesterday. On the other hand, bears did not like the heavy export movement, nor reports of good yarn business.
 Total foreign exports for the day were 64,S0i bales. making exports thus far this week 159740 bales, Counting in coast wise shipments, total clearances from ports were 77,225 bales.
 Spot markets in the south were gen. erally unchanged. although it was said that buyers were beginning to get uneasy over widespread planting of oats and wheat on cotton lands.

In provisions the outcome varied from S2isc decline to rise of 21Ac.
 II was current gossip among wheat traders that although many foreign slips recently had taken American reg istry, the aggregate had proved alto gather insufficient and that the Presi- dent was canvassing the Possibilities Of government purchase of numerous vessels now tied up in American ports.
 Selling by cash houses owing to iib- eral acceptances of bids from here to the country had a depressing effect on corn.
 Oats were steadied by advices that Canadian dealers had been attempting to buy freely in northwestern states.
 Provisions turned down grade in lire with prices at the yards.

Bullish Comment Fails to Stimulate Any General
 Demand for Cotton

New York, November 24-The in- creasing export movement inspired considerable bullish comment in cot ton trade circles here today but failed to stimulate any general demand and trading was less active than at any time previously since the reopening of the exchange. Scattering liquidation of December contracts in advance of the notices expected right after the holiday was considered chiefly respon- sible for the declining tendency of prices. Otherwise. however, there ap- peared to be no selling pressure of im- portance and the close was steady at net loss of to F points.
 Liverpool was or points lower than due on the New York close of yesterday and while private cables re- ported that prices had been steadied at the decline by an increasing spot demand the local market opened at a loss of to points After some little irregularity, December contracts sold off to 7.2o or g points net lower, while later deliveries sold to IA points be- low yesterdays closing under scatter lLk liluluatlOn a1u lBnl OIIerlnES.
