PRICES DROP ON
 NERVOUS MARKET
Heavy Liquidation Causes An other Sharp Break-Close 21- 50 Under-Yield Estimated at 11,333,000 bales.

New York, Nov. 28.-The cotton market was very nervous again today and there was a further sharp break in prices, with January contracts sell ing off to 20.30, or about S4.5O per bale below the high record established at the opening yesterday morning. That delivery closed at 20.31 and the general list closed easy at net loss of 21 to 90 points.
 There were some overnight buvinp orders around the ring at the start and the opening was relatively steady. compared with the cables, first prices being points lower to points high CT. The moderate demand inspired by the steadied tone of late yesterday was very soon supplied, however, and the market turned easier under heavy liquidation.
 The selling became more aggressive following rumors that a permanent local authority estimated the yield at II ,333,000 bales, excluding linters, and also was encouraged by an esti- mate from a North Carolina source placing the yield at 12,343,OO0 bales, including 1,i50,000 bales of linters. Fora time there was demand enough to hold prices around 20.50 for Jan uary or about 30 points under last nght's close. but this buying was sup piled during the middle of the after noon and the market broke very sharply in the late trading under con- tinued lifuidation, Wall street and Western selling.
 March declined to 20.52 and May to 20.72, with the more active positions selling about 42 to 90 points under last nights closing figures. There was considerable covering around this level, but the market closed at practi- cally the lowest point of the day.
 Cotton closed easy.

ARKANSAS STANDS
 IA IN LIST OF STATES
Regarding Efficiency in Educa- tiOnal and Military Lines Great Deal of Legislation in Next General Assembly.

It Is an interesting coincidence that. according to statistics prepared by experts, Arkansas stands as No. 43 in the list of states with regard to the efficiency of both it's educational and it's national guard organization. These are conditions that have long been recognized by progressive edu- cators and military men who have been urging legislation that will raise the state to position more in keep ing with the high ideals of it's most progressive citizenship.
 There will be much remedial legis- latlon proposed in the coming general assembly both for the military and the schools. The adoption of Amend ment No. 12, it is predicted, will in few years begin to show its benefcent effects in the school system of the state, in longer terms for the country schools, in better school houses, in better pay for better teachers, and in general raising of the educational standard. The extension of county superintendency, county uniformity, and compulsory attendance is to be urged, and an effort will be made to reinstate the state aid to high schools which was invalidated by the Supreme Court.
 So far as the military is concerned, the National Guard of Arkansas is confronted by crisis. Unless the people of the state and the lawmakers rally to the support of the organiza- there is grave danger of federal re- cognition being withdrawn, which will mean the loss of millions of dollars and coveted prestige.
 Brig. Gen. England, at the head of the National Guard of the State, is doing everything in his power to arouse public interest, but he is, un- fortunately, finding it an uphill busi- ness. To pass over these conditions lightly, and complaisantly make our selves believe that everything is all right, is a destructive self deception that should not be tolerated. State pride must be awakened, the military organizations must be increased in number, size and efficiency, and the state through the Legislature must do it's part if Arkansas meets the re- Quirements of the new National De- tennse Act.
 An evidence of the popular apathy has just come to light The militia headquarters sent letter to every mayor in the state, asking that popu- lar contributions be made toward the purchase of medals for the Arkansas troops when they return from the border. These letters were mailed more than a month ago. Four res ponses have been received. The city of Marvell, which has a company at the front, sent in $44 in one dollar subscriptions. Smaller contributions were made by Forrest City, Adona and St. Paul It is estimated that it will require S1,105 to purchase the medals. So it is apparent that there must be much more liberal response if the services of the Arkansas troops are to be recognized in this manner
