NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, oct. 24.-The fact that the
Coffee Exchange was to close at noon,
Liberty Loan Day, kept large number Of
traders away and the market was a very
quiet affair with no sales after the call
reported up to 11:2O o'clock. The cables
from Brazil were posted during the morn
ing and showed prices practically un-
changed, The f1rmer tone noted on the call
was due to a moderate demand for outside
account with a lack of selling pressure. most
of the interest being centered in the late

oct. 10. writes to the Express as fol
lows.
"Mr. w. Fl Donahue's statement re-
garding the people Of Alex, as printed
in the Chickasha Daily Express last
Tuesday, was misleading and untrue
This may seem a little harsh at first
to Mr.. Donahue but not SO when he
realizes the false impression under
which he has been laboring.
"The community Of Alex is second
to none in citizenship. Her people
are warm. appreciatiye, responsive
tn every worthy movement, and are
buying Liberty bonds
ALEX would have turned out to the
Liberty bond meeting had she known
there was to have been one. The

Mr. Donahue received such cool re-
ception and want him and the read
ers OF tho Express to know that it

pose Of the meeting been made known.
