New York, November 26,-Advances to- day have met larger offerings with sen
 timent leaning to the bear side because of the strained European financial situ- ation as set forth in press dispatches and the failure to arrive at a settlement of the coal strike. The selling has gone mostly into the later months as usual of late and those positions are, in our opin- ion. rapidly becoming seriously congested

New York, November 26.-The market movements were most cratic and the tendency was downward for the greater part of the day on long liquidation and southern sellinf. Price recovered quickly toward the close predicated on the large export showing of 1o2, 900 bales The un- favorable financial situation abroad, to- gether with the coal situation in this country, is causing much apprehension. We look for acting trading markets, and while still bullsh we look for temporary lower prices for the time being.-J w. Jay & O.

New York, November 26.--It has been another day of drastic liquidation, and these days will always come when the bull ring is uncomfortably crowded. Ire mendous business in Manchester and in- creased exports is the redeeming feature of the market Business must go on and when the spot demand becomes active again the discounts on May and July will disappear, as they did last year The coal strike may be settled over tomor- rows holiday.-C1ark & Co

New UrIeanS, NoVember 26. The cotton market opened lower today and remained depressed through the session, standing late in the day at declines of 70 to 90 points. Liquidation of long contracts and selling for short account were felt on the first call and were the result of poor cables and the threats of a general rail road strike. as well as of an unfavorable view of labor conditions in general. Very little attention was paid to the bullish features of the day.-Shepard & Gluck

Coffee Market

New York, November 26.-Reports that Brazilian shippers were showing an increased disposition to sell seemed chiefly responsible for a further de- cline in the market for coffee futures here today.
 The opening was 10 to IS points low CT, and the market sold about 40 to 5S points below last nights closing fig ures during the early afternoon with March touching 14.so. making new low ground for the movement and decline of 2Ss points from the recent high level. Trade interests were sellers, presumably against purchases at lower prices in Brazil, and there was further scattering liquidation, but the market was steadied in the late trading by covering, with March closing at 1515. The general list closed at net de- cline of IS to 25 points. December, 14s5; January, 14.s5; March, 15.15; May 1925; July. 1885; September, 15.20.

 New York, November 26--There was no change in old crop sugars which are quoted at 7.28c for centrifugal to the reffner. There were no purchases by the board. In new crops confidence is gradually being restored, and it now seems to be the impression that the only action by the government will be in the matter of resales and only when profits are considered too far out of line
 There were no sales of new crop re- ported, however, and the undertone seemed to be shade easier Tn refined the receipts of raw sugar during the past week were largr. which led to in creased meltings and allotments have also been little more liberal, but the demand continues active and 1t is the general impression In the trade that no real relief would be had until well into January or even February Prices were unchanged at cents for fine granulated.

Foolish, Patriotic Citizens.

citizens stood In a discouraged ana ex.

traveller.
They are patriotic citizens" he was
told, "Who are trying to raise the flag
to the top of the pole. Each one, how
ever has his own method Of rope pull.
inE, ana though they are very strong
and determined to raise the flag and
though as you can see, each one is
putting all his strength in the work.
nothing seems to happen. We spec.
tHtorS are afraid that they viii spend
SO much time in argument that the
flag win never be raised at all."
This is very interesting" said the
Traveller.
He approached the group and ad-
dressed it, Patriots" he said, "if YOU
VIII stand with me a moment and all
pull the rope steadily in one direction,
your object will be accomplished"
"But We have different Ideas Of d.
rectIon," they told him.
I'VE will discuss those afterward,"
said the traveller; 'in the meantime let
rvs take one long, strong pull together
ana see what happens"
With much dlstrust his suggestion
was acted upon, the flag went swiftly
TO the top of the pole and opened glo-
rlou>ly above the cheering popuace.
The patriots wiped their heated
hrowS and looked at each other
IF that thought had occurred to us
some time ago" said one, "a great
deal of our valuable time might have
been saved"
Also" remarked the traveller, who

We found similar conditions at Other

Mr.. Acheson has praise for the roads

road there being characterized as good
as pavement. The Blewett pass was

The road, however. was declared fair.
Mr.. Acheson has praise for the fruit

About the worst road We struck,
