OPEN LETTER TO COUNCILMAN
HARRY w. RISLEY.

Mr. Harry w. Risley, Councilman 3rd
District, Denver, Colorado:
Dear Sir:
The Denver Express of Monday, May
23rd, printed Il copy of your letter to
Hon. Frank NJ. Downer, Commissioner
of Safety and Excise, protesting
against colored citizens holding dances
in your section of the city. Quoting
your letter it says: "There are sec
tions of the city where there is large
per cent of colored people and their
social activities should be confined to
, that section" who commissioned you
to say when and where any people
should indulge their social pleasures
merely because of race or color! You
make no charge of misconduct or I'M
propriety When you do so ana prove
sufficient offense, we would readllS
Join in a protest against repetitloh'
, But the burden of your protest rests
SOLELY upon locality and color rms
can only he construed as IL covert
Though wantOn effort to Introduce INTO
the affairs of Denver the desplcaDie
i principle of racial segregation. Noth-
ing is more thoroughly un-Amerlcah'
and has been so declared by the high
}est courts in the land. In the ilght Oh
your letter we cannot presume you 10
he aware of this. We seek no speciai
'favors but stand four-square 1or our
every right as American citizens.

COTTON PRICES
UP DURING WEEK
Covered by Shorts Furnished the
Greater Part of the Demand.

covered by Shorts Furnished the
Greater Part OF the Demand.
New York, Nov. 20.-Prices were
higher in the cotton market through
out this last week, although the early
session brought only small and hesi-
tating gains. In the latter trading
the market was frmer and at the
highest the trading months were 81
to los points over the close Of the
preceding week, December rising as
high as 1876. On the close prices
were 50 to 90 points up net, with De-
cemBer at 1881. In the spot depart
ment middling gained 25 points in the
net results, closing at 1850 cents a
pound, against 1926 year ago.
Covering by shorts furnished the
greater part of the demand Of the
week, and 1t was stimulated by the
hope Of constructive events as the
result of the international conference
at Washington, the continued easi-
ness Of money, smaller spot offerings
in the interior and the contiued
very large mill takings Buying for
long account appeared to be along
very moderate lines. At times trade
buying was important.
TO some extent business was re-
stricted by the nearness Of the CEN
sus bureaus fifth ginning report of
the season. At first some little soil
ing was encouraged by expectations
entertained regarding this report, but
later on the disposition was to buy
because Of a private bureau estimate
that at the middle Of November the
crop was 9S.S per cent picked. The
estimate from private sources that
attracted most attention placed gin
ming to November IA at 1921 900 bales,
and for a while this was used as an
argument that the total crop, in the
final ginning report Of the season,
not due until March 20, would be ap-
proximatcly 100000 bales.
In the last two sessions Of the week
statistics were an underlying bullish
influence Of Importance. Hester

ing as much as they did. The game
was characterized by considerable
