STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Display of strength that was feature of forenoon was not maintained and after midday nearly everything on the list sagged off. The observance of the Jewish New YeaE was responsible for a smaller attend ance than usual and this thin condition of the market was seized upon by the professional element who sold many is- sues down to substantially lower levels than prevailed during the first two hours. The attitude of Japan on the League of Nations question and the ad- vance in call money rate to per cent was eagerly given out as the motive power back of the reactionary trend that was so apparent right up to the close. Steel common, American Can, and many leaders closed lower for the day, although offerings were well taken. --Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

Japanese yen dropped 13 points and sterling was off a cent, with most of the other cx- change rates SHS, and minor declines at the close. The principal exception was Swiss exchange which touched a new high for the year due to the high interest rates prevailing in Switzerland which are beginning to attract foreign capital.
 The oil stocks seemed to take the news of further reductions In crude oil prices very calmly. Mid-continent crude is now at. the years low. The low for Gulf Coast crudes was estab- lished on September IT at SIPS per bar rel for grade A which is 50 cents above the low of 1923. California oils, how ever, show diametrically opposite trend, prices advancing steadily as oil production in the Golden State con- tinues to decline.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Cotton goods were firm but quiet today, the observ- ance of the Jewish holiday lessenlng the attendanee in the market. Higher prices were asked for goods and yarns. The American Woolen company ad- vaneed lines of worsted wood goods, the products of about 10 of the conn pany's mills, from 5 to 20 cents a yard, due, 1t is stated, to the sustained high cost of raw wool and the receipt of fair sized orders for spring. Printed silk attracted more interest for spring and fall. Goods in lighter weights than fall offerings also were being sampled. Con- tinued demand for brushed sweaters and heavyweight knit underwear for immediate shipment was noted.

Calling on Relatives
NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

NEAR MEtS. BEECkMAN:
VIII you please tell me
what is the proper form, or thing
to do in this case? We called on
friends (relatives) Of ours several
times and failed to find them at
home. Then they asked us to
come "a certain Sunday when they
would be at home-if we could.
CThat was the proper thing for
them to do was it not?)
We promised to come, if pos.
sible, but could not promise for
sure, as we rather expected bust
ness matters might prevent US.
They understood and seemed per-
fectly agreeable, as they said
they were going to be at home
anyway. Business did interfere
and we could not go. Now whose
turn is it to visit and what is
the proper form to take, aon our
part? Should they come to visit
us on their own accord now or is
it, our place to invite them?
Should we have written an apol-
ogy? PUZZLED.
IT would be gracious and polite
\ now for you to go visit them.
They were most understanding
and kind, I think, and I'm sure
that they would appreciate your
coming. For you to have written
an apology - not exactly an
apology, for there was nothing
to apologize for, but a note of
explanation would have been
gracious and friendly. 1t is such
notes and little gestures Of this
kind that "oil'' the wheels of So
cial life. Don't you think so?
Anyway do go at once to call ito

not coming, and to thank them
for the invitation.

am a widow and have a son nine
years old whom he adores. And
the boy idolizes him. F..B.
A Ill depends on your thirty
A five and his twenty-five. If
they are congenial, / see no rea-
son why you two should not be
happy together.
Ten years is a great difference,
especially when the woman is the
senior, and ordinarily such mar
riages are not advisable. But you
are both old enough to know your
own minds. And you are young
enough to have years of happy
companionship before you. So,
since you are so fond of each
other and the boy, and the boy
loves you both, it would seem as
though this might be the excep-
tional case where pronounced diff.
ference in age is not drawback.
All happiness to the three Of you.
