Oldest Travelling Salesman

In the March American Magazine is an account of the dean of travelling men in America, James Fenlon of Des Mones, Ia. He has held down his job for 70 years and today the S9-year veteran continues to Took after his trade" with all of the energy and all of the success that has characterized his work in his younger days.
 'Mr. Fenlon gained his title several years ago in contest conducted by an eastern publication desirous of locat- ing the country's oldest travelling man. For a time it seemed as though some of the 70-year veterans would carry off the honor, but the aged Iowan final ly was convinced that he ought to throw his hat into the ring,
 ''When he started on the road 72 years ago, there was no such individ- ual as 'traveling salesman People just rode on horseback and sold goods.
 His trade is the envy of every trav- cling man who carries similar line. and the mass of correspondence he takes care of would tax the resources of the ordinary business man. Half an hour after receiving call he will be on his way to the station to travel half way across the state to get an order
 He has been on the road since 1S4, has served in three wars and sold S7,- 900 windmills.''

COTTON REACHES
 NEW LOW LEVELS
General List Closes Steady at a Net Decline of From
 8 to 10 Points

New York, February 2l.-After making new low levels today, the cotton market steadied on covering and buying for a reaction, with May selling up from 11.45c to 11.55c and closing at 115Oc The gen. eral list closed steady at net decline of from to 10 points.
 There was a renewal of southern sell ing and local liquidation at the opening and after starting at decline of to Il points, the active months sold about 12 to 16 points under last nights closing figures. Weak Liverpool cables encour- aged some local selling, but the chief factor appeared to be apprehensions that the southern selling of futures reflected uneasiness among spot holders and might foresnadow increased pressure of actual. The decline carried March contracts off to 11.2Oc, July to 11.67c and October to 1lSSc, or some 10 to 12 points under the lowest prices reached on the break of last week. and about 30 to 33 points be- low the best figures touched on Fridays rally. It seemed, however, that the of 1erings were not quite as general or as urgent as they had been on previous de- clines while very good demand was encountered around or under 11hc for May contracts. This appeared to reflect buying for trade account as well as covering of shorts and operations for a reaction, while there was also some sup port here from renewed covering by Liv- erpool straddle shorts. Prices rallied some g or 10 points from the lowest in consequence, with March selling up to 1l29c, July to 1t.76c, and October to Il .93c, but the rallies seemed to meet increased offerings largely from southern sources and subsequent fluctuations were nerv- ous and irregular.
 There appeared to be considerable doubt around the ring as to the exact character of the southern selling and the smaller volume of business after the early break suggested disposition to wait for further news from the spot situation. Much of the buying was at tributed to covering of shorts for over the holiday tomorrow.

was lower than due on our close of Saturday and private cables reported that southern markets were easier, which had led to leak of confidence In prevailing prices. Here the market declined sharply at the opening on fur ther March liquidation and free sell Ing by the south. The cotton was ab- sorbed by Liverpool covering arbitrage sales and by a demand from the do- mestic mills who are buyers on each decline, thus securing their supplies against an active and profitable busi- ness. This buying was sufficient to check the market which was fairly steady during the rest of the day. Sen tlment tonight is very bearish on the ground that further selling must be expected from the south and that 1t Is impossible to anticipate a revival in the speculative demand from the country at large while the acreage question remains so doubtful. On the other hand there was decidedly less selling this afternoon and should the pressure be removed by the passing of March contracts sharp recovery in the market might easily follow The Amer ican markets will be closed tomorrow in observance of Washington's birth day.

COTTON SHOWSA
 TENDENCY ID REACT
Lower Quotation of Spots and Predictions of Large
 March Selling Feature

New Orleans. February a.-F7tful strength was shown by the local cot ton market toay and tendency to re- act from the decline was noticed, but improvement in values was not well sus- tained and the market closed at net loss of to 9 points At times liberal buy ing orders were given to the ring, but they appeared to come chiefly from hold CTS of short contracts who wanted to realize their profits.
 On the opening and for sometime after. the ring was active and trading was large in volume. Prices fell under large offerings until trading months were F to IA points down. Here @ demand sprang up which absorbed contracts for sale and carried prices back up to within or points of the last quotations of Saturday Features which stimulated this demand were complaints of drouth from Texas and the reports of dry goods market of great numbers of buyers pres ent from all parts of the country, who were operating in d large way. Spots were quoted F points lower and this, together with predictions of large March tenders later in the week, caused selling after the noon hour.

INTEREST LACKING
 ON STOCK MARKET
Absolute StagnatiOn Pre- vailed on the Stock Ex-
 change Yesterday

New York, February 21.-There was lit tie on today's perfunctory stock market to warrant detailed or specific comment. Dealings were the smallest of any session thus far this year and their significance was in keeping with the meagre turn over.
 Tomorrows holiday. coming so soon after the dull week end, caused further exodus of the professional element and public interest was wholly lacking. In- ternational affairs, especially the re- ported delicate situation between Wash ington and Berlin, served as an addi- tional deterrent and the list was left largely to it's own devices.
 Opening prices showed a number of ir- regular gains, mostly trivial, followed by general declines, only few of which were retrieved later. Manipulation of specialties was tentatively resumed, su- gar shares scoring substantial gains. South Porto Rico sugar rose 8% points to the new record of 172A, and Cuban American sugar 4, to 199.
 Mercantile Marine issues were in further demand, the injection of new and influential interests ill the proposed re- organization suggesting an early settle ment of long pending difficulties.
 tilted States Steel fell to an obscure place. being superseded by half dozen hitherto inactive stocks, despite bullish gossip regarding earnings for the cur rent quarter.
 War contract shares as a whole yielded 1 to points from last weeks final fig ures, and rails ceased to exercise the slightest influence upon speculative senti- ment.
 Absolute stagnation prevailed during the last half of the session rails talilng o111; close was heavy.
 Domestic developments were again of a construction character, with enormous gains in western traffic, and increasing car shortage All form of foreign ex- change were lower except fires. Rumors were current of further gold exports to South America and Holland. Such trend as the bond market manifested was to- ward slightly lower levels. Total sales' par value, were $2,57O,0Oo.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

WHEAT MARKED
 TAKESASLUMP
StOppage of Export Buying Weakens Market, Which
 Closes at a Net Loss

Chicago, February 21--Apparent, al- most complete, stoppage of export buy ing had much to do today with weakness that prevailed in the wheat market. Prices closed unsettled 2k62A to 27sc ret lower, with May at $l.245s@S1.24 3-5 and July at sl.9O1s. Corn finished ssa94 to slta7sc down; oats off B to 5s@%c, and provisions varying from 21sc decline to a rise of cents.
 No announcement whatever of any new purchase of wheat for shipment to Eu- rope was made except small lot of 50,OO0 bushels at Omaha In this con- the British government were interested only in contracts for April delivery and even on that option would only bid prices which at present were impossible. Diff ficulty of getting freight vessels was mentioned as standing in the way and preventing business. Aside from the dis appearance of foreign inquiry however, the market from the outset was bear ishly affected by lower quotations from Liverpool improvement in Missouri and Kansas crop reports. and by liberal re- ceipts here and the northwest as well.
 Something of a rally in the wheat mar ket took place during the last part of the session, owing to a substantial decrease of the United States visible supply to- tai. Evening up of trades so as to pre- pare for the holiday tomorrow counted also a little in bull side at times. Re- coveries, though, failed wholly to be- come of more than fractional extent
 Big receipts and the slowness of east ern demand had a depressing effect on corn. A reduction in the estimate of the Argentine exportable surplus tended later to steady the market. Oats gave way with corn and wheat Export sales, though, of 150,OOO bushels proved an off, set in part.
 Provisions averaged 8 little higher owing to enlarged foreign shipments and to strength in the hog marget Trading was not heavy.

Respect for Sabbath

From the Chicago Herald
 ''All over Scotland" observed a we'll known golfer, the Sabbath is respected in a most remarkable way. Golfing one day in the autumn on the St. Andrew S links, l said to my caddie:
 Angus, man, the leaves are falling. The green is turning red and brown. Winter will soon be upon us. And do you get much caddying to do in the win ter, Angus?'
 Angus drowned gloomily
 Ma, ma, said he, blowing his nose. There's nae muckle caddyin' in winter. If It's no snaw it's frost. if it's no frost it's shaw; if it's neither frost nor snaw it's rain. and if it's fine it's sure to be the Sawbath. ?
