IT MIGHT BE TRIED.

Or all those who registered, only compara- lively few will be drawn into military service. To take one million men out of nine millions and do justice 10 all by showing no favoritiSm will be hard task to accomplish. No matter how careful the men whose duty shall be to pick men here and there. there is sure to arise some dis ,ogtengnent 4 system of drawing men should ba devised that would eliminate all possible show of fayoritiSm and really we don't know better system than the jury system. In drawing 8 jury 10 try g case in court the names of all the eligible men are dropped into a box and the re-
 2. -e., number iS drawn and must serve. For in- stance: SupYasing fen men were required from a certain community 10 i'll 8 company. let all the names ot these eligible in the community be put into the box and the first ten names drawn shall serve This would be fair and no favoritisrn could be attributed 10 those whose duty shall be to draw the man. Anyhow the suggestion may be worth trying.

Cotton

Reports Of killing frosts u parts o.
the Eastern and Central belts, follow
ING the freezing temperatures OF carly
last week in Western sections, were
responsible for q sharp advance III the
cotton market IT the reopening yes
terday. Practically all the active
months made new high records for the
season, with December selling ut ~ .
and January at 200, right after the
call Reactions followed under heavy
realizing. with January selling off to
1925. and closing at 2639. The general
list closed steady. net 10 points higher
to - points lower.
The market opened firm, a, an ad-
vance Of so TO - points on active gen.
eral buying. According 10 the detailed
weather reports, killing temperature
had occurred over the holiday III parts
of Tennessee. Mississ ippi, Alabama
and Georgia, while light to killing
frosts were also reported at few
points In North Carolina. These re
ports led to further scaling down OF
unofficial crop estimates, but the ad-
vance into new high ground for the
season attracted heavy proht taking,
and there was also scattered southern
selling Prospects for warmer weather,
weakness In the stock market and the
Census report. showing smaller domes-
tic milk consumption for September
were factors which promoted realizing,
and there may have been little sell
ing Tor a reaction. The bulk or the
offerings, however, were attributed 10
old longs, and trade interests were
good BUYERS on a scale down.
During the early part of last month
the trade was talking q crop Of about
l2.5OO.0OO bales, excluding linters. o.
a total growth Of practically 100000
bales. The market was weak on that
idea OF the yield, with prices breaking
below the 2O-cent level. BY the end Of
September the Official crop indication
mad been reduced 70 100000 bales, eH-
Guiding linters. pointing to total crop
Of about l3,500,000. Now the trade J s
talking a crop possibility Of around
- .2s0'0OO to 1a.500.000 bales. including
linters. Comparatively few private
crop advices came ia from the South,
and the few there were came from sec
tons where temperatures were above
the minimum Exports for the day
were 3.719 bales, making l.024.145 so
far this season, against l,2i5,74O last
wear. Southern spot markets, as Of
fcially reported, were unchanged, to 81
points higher.

Corn.-Sentiment was divided. Prices
showed moderate firmness early in the
day, but subsequently broke sharply
and closed with net losses of isc. 10
cent. Confidence was again disturbed
by The attitude of the government
against high prices OF commodities, and
also By the weakness in the stock mar
ket. II is the general belief, however.
that the future course of values will
depend 70 large extent on the early
movement Of the crop and the attitude
Of fsrmerl. The weather was favor
able for curing the new corn, and some
good authorities believe that the yield
Of merchantable grain will be record
che, possibly aggregsting 2,s5c,O00,O0O
bushels
Reports from the country were some
what conflicting. Some points said thai
farmers were not willing 20 sell a.
present prices, but others reported
larger country offers FOR forward ship
ment. and it seemed 10 be the general
opinion that even il farmers hold bach
al TIE start il will be only a question
Of time when they will have 20 sell, as
the indicated yield is in excess Of pro
spective requirements. The visible sup
rly increased $4,000 bushels for the
week. and the total was 1851 900,
against 4.456,000 last year. The Mis-
souri, state report indicated a crop OF
about 2S4,000,000, or about double that
OF last wear. In the local cash market
40 yellow corn was quoted AZ s2.0l
and 10. 2 mixed Sl.s9 c. !. I. New York.
