The Bpard Of Aldermen yester-

them at night, as "a means Of min

The ordinance was passed by a

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Ramsay Mac
/ Donald was elected to-day as Parlia-
mentary leader Of the Labor party.
This makes him official head Of the
government Opposition and marks one
OF the most important steps taken by
the Labor party here in years.
Mr.. Macdonald succeeds. and has
now as his deputy, John r. Clynes. who
probably is the best liked leader the
party has. Macdonald is an extremely
able parliamentarian and .enioys the
+ respect of the members of all parties
although he lived under heavy cloud
during the war because Of his pacifist
views.
Neither Macdonald nor Clynes is an
extremist in any sense of the word. but
| there is no doubt the former is much
more forceful as debater and much
cleverer as political strategist than
Che man whom he succeeds.
Lanor is laying plans looking far
into the future, in the hope of contest
winning over to its side in the mean
time large number of electors VIII
did not vote for Labor last week. For
the heads OF the Labor party believe
the next election will be contest
between Labor on the. one side and ali
the other parties on the other.
Both on the inside and the outside
at Westminster to-day Labor occupied
q prominent place. In the House of
Commons many OF the new members
took their oaths of Office, while out
side big delegation Of unemployed,
who have marched to London from the
north, were informed of Premier Bonar
Laws refusal TO receive them.
The unemployed say taey will re-
main in London until the Prime Minis
ter does agree to meet them, and they
are depending upon the Labor mem
bers in Parliament to raise their case
for debate when the Irish constitution
is presented for ratification Thursday.
Thisiwill subject Ramsay Macdonald
to his first test, for some of the Labor
members from Scotland have little re-
gard for the rules of parliamentary
procedure, and feel very strongly about
this problem of the unemployed.
Organizers Of the unemployed demon
stration announced tonight they ex-
pect 100000 unemployed men to march
to London and hold a demonstration
tomorrow. The police are making
preparations to meet any crisis that
may arise, remembering the serious
unemployed riots of couple of ,ears
ago, when the crowds stormed White
hall and charged into Downing Street
Some newspapers tonight say these
unemployed demonstrations are being
prompted by revolutionists, who are
inviting clash with the police, but
there. is no evidence offered in support
of this charge. "The Pail Mall Gazette
asserts the demonstrators include
among them number Of communists
who have received funds from Moscow.
The Premier has twice communicates
with the organizers, of the unemployed,
informing them each time the MiniefT =
Of Health will receive their delegation.

BULLISH CROPS
 CAUSE BUYINGM
 COTTON MARKET
By Assoclated Press

New York, September 14.--There was some buying on bullish crop and trade adviees on the cotton market today, but rallies met realizing or southern selling and the price move ment was irregular. After selling off from 21.92c to 21.65c December ral- lied to 21.93c but closed at 21.76c. The general market closed steady net points higher to 12 points lower.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to IS points up In response to relatively firm Liverpool cables. There were quite good many over- night selling orders which soon sent prices off several points but the of fering seemed to be well taken with the market working up from the low est on a mid-month crop report mak- ing the condition 53.2 compared with the census report showing domestic mill consumption of 527,424 bales against 467.059 last year.
 Considering the character of the labor news last month this was re- garded as a favorable showing, but it failed to stimulate much buying and the market was easier late In the morning with October selling off to 21.41o and January to 21.53c or about 10 to IF points net lower. More trade buying was reported on this decline and there were rallies during the afternoon owing to continued bullish crop advices and reiterated reports of a steady spot basis-in the south. Most of the more active posi- tions made new high prices for the day on this movement with January selling up to 21.79c or about IT points net higher but there was a renewal of southern selling in the late trad ing.
 Last prices were several points off from the best although the trade was reported buyer on the decline. Buy ing on the early afternoon advance probably was promoted by reports of a continued active demand for cotton goods in the New York market. Ex ports today 17157, making 3O3.957 so far this season. Port receipts 21.306. United States port stocks 672,512.

LOWEST PRICES
 OF SEASON IN
 WHEAT MARKET
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 14.-In re- sponse to the strike settlement af- fecting many roads, wheat today went to the seasons lowest prices, December delivery going below @l a bushel, the first time in 1922. Closing quotations were unsettled at %c to 1Mc net decline. December, s9%c to s9Ac. and May s1.o4A to s1.O4N. Corn lost B O 1kc to Bc, oats finished shade off to ssc up. and provisions varying from fc de- cline to Dc advance.
 Wheat traders generally assumed that resumption of work in rail- road shops eventually would bring about a material increase of the movement of grain. A sharp break in foreign exchange rates together with a downturn in prices for wheat at Liverpool had a bearish influence here. It was also pointed out that whereas primary receipts to date are 10000. GOO bushels smaller than was the case a year ago, the visible supply Is only 100000 bushels smaller and that the worlds avail able supply shows an increase of 5,S47, 900 bushels.
 Under s1 for December commits sion house support for the wheat market was better than bear specu- lators had expected. Export demand was fair, with sales of about 500'o00 bushels at the seaboard md 600.0oo bushels taken here.
 Corn and oats averaged lower with wheat, influenced mainly by strike settlement developments Septem- Der oats, however, went to l7c pre- mium over December as result Of spreading operations.
 Provisions like grain were inclined to sag.
