on a weak market in order to avoid
losses should prices decline further.
The same sentiment applies not only
in America, ,abut all parts of the; trade
world. AS soon as prices become more
stable it is reasonable to expect a re-
vival in demand for textiles from the
dry goods trade in general. We must
/ ear in: mind, that through the pres
ent system of marketing, cotton as
rule reaches or nearly reacffes its
lowest price level before the end OF
Novembr. While cotton may go low
er in price before world conditions
warrant a. restoration of confidence
in textile, financial. and trade circles,
we believe that the turning point cam
not be far off. Should the spring de-
livefies have further declines;' we, feel
that our friends should be prepared
to buy moderately and aversge>ifby
Traditional buying should "a further
hreak occur. We believe that cotton
bought on breaks and on scale down
and properly protected will prove
profitable. 3 ''%;'" J.

SPRINGS & co. COTTON LETTER

After the recent drastic decline il
which the lowest prices of the yeal
were reached both for spot cottor
and contracts for future delivery
and in which the December deliverey
declined to 1855 or twenty and two
third cents lower than the high price
recorded on April 10Th, we think il
time to consider the bullish elements
which are now evident and others that
will become prominent on further
recession.
The Census report issued on Mon.
day showed 100000 bales ginned to
November 18th. During the past six
years an average of over 1870 of the
crop has been ginned at this time
We feel however that this year a
greater percentage than usual has
been ginned and that little low grade
field damaged cotton will be picked
after this date.
The Textile Market which has re-
Gently undergone an extremely de,
pressing period is now experiencing
a slight change for betterment. Re.
tailers appear to be shifting to the
replacement value basis in pricing
their goods with the result that more
finished goods are going into con,
sumption. The vast amount of price
shifting indicates that stabilizatior
has not yet been reached but thai
definite results in that line will pro
badly be accomplished before long.
Market advances and declines ir
manufactured and textile goods are
greatly effected by sentiment. The
trade generally buys on advances fo,
the reason that they wish to procure
their needs through fear that price:
will work high. On declines buyers
stay out of the market in hopes of be
ing able to buy cheaper. We are in
clined to believe that the dry good!
trade are beginning to experience
shortage in some lines of goods bu
are hesitant in buying large orders

RETURN OF CONSTANTINE TO
GREECE OPPOSED BY ENGLAND
Greece Notified She Cannot Hope T,
Retain Territorial Advantages
Given Her in Treaty With y
Turkey

: Paris, Nov. 23.-Great Britain has
already taken steps to inform Former
King Constantine of Greece and
George Rhallis, the new Greek Pre-
mier, that she is absolutely opposed
to the return of Constantine to the
Greek Throne, says the Petit Paris
len. She has notified them clearly that
ii the the Greek government does not
take cognizance of her stand, Greece
cannot hope to retain the territorial
advantages given her in the treaty
between the allies and Turkey, the
newspaper asserts.
Confirmation Of reports that the
plebiscite in Greece to decide as to
the return of Ex-King Constantine to
the throne had been postponed to
December 5, has been received by the
French foreign office, it was announc-
ed today. The vote was to have been
taken under the original arrangement
on Sunday next, November %. The
allied attitude toward the return Of
Constantine will be discussed Sunday
next at a conference between Pre-
mier Leygues and Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain, the foreign
Office stated. The two premiers also
will take up other Near Eastern af-
fairs, including possible changes in
the Turkish peace treaty at the ex-
pense of Greece.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1920,
AT. BOTTOM NOW.

More than one prominent business
man is of the opinion that commodity
prices as we'll as prices on a number
of manufactured articles are scraping
the bottom now and that purchases
made at present levels will soon prove
to have been wisely made. '
This does not apply to securities but
tc actual necessities. Noe every man Is
interested in the price Of securities
now. The time for saving up cash SO
as to be able to invest in good securi-
ties that are now on the bargain coun-
to actual necessities. Not'every man is
interested in the prices of necessities.
Ten days ago leading cotton man.
ufacturer who though living North
has large investments in mills in the
South gave it as his opinion that cot
ton had reached bottom but the
bottom but the price went down two
cents the pound after he expressed
that opinion. It would have been
phenomenal for him to have guessed
the exact figures on the bottom
price" Few if any ever get to buy at
the bottom and sell at the top but he
was right in general way.
Now is a good time to buy things
you need. B. C. Forbes, one of the
best observers in this country, eX-
presses this opinion in an article
which we publish today. One can ex-
ercise judgment and should do so. 1t
would be foolish if one had the money
to stock up now on everything. Some
things which have had drop in the
wholesale market have not yet shown
an equal decline on the retail market
because so many jobbers and retailers
too have bought on old contracts and
they have not reduced the price be-
cause the price was not reduced to
them.
The wise purchaser can "try the
market and he will know in most in
stances when he has "the low quota
ton" and when he has, in the case of
most necessities, he will find now a
good time to buy-if he has the
wherewithal and for the man on sal
ary, now is as good as any other time.

forgotten? Why thank anyone for
giving you what you paid for?
There is not much reason or logic
behind it all. It is merely that with
the finer natures there is an in
stinctive courtesy that expresses it
self in manners. -. -: ....
Just as with so many others there
is an instructive lack Of courtesy
which finds :, expression. in boorish-
ness. :,
Manners are not useless. +.
They prevent you from giving
thoughtless hurt. to others. They
make you remain silent when Chopin

MANNERS

Manners are a pleasant deceit-a
conspiracy to rob existence of much
Of it's crudity.
Because of them the elusive ele-
ment of charm fingers in the world
and gentler natures are encouraged
to their robust growth.
A lot of efficient people, though
have discarded manners as so. much
unnecessary impedimenta.
Why rise when a lady enters the
room? Why appear interested whe,
others talk? Why ask to be remem
bered to people you have hitherto
