(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) —Nov. 27 The volume of business today on the stock exchange was light. There was an absence of selling pressure Fluctuations were not important. The comparative narrowness of the market was welcome, as a little dullness mow will afford the opportunity that Is necessarv to review all that has happened, to survey the present situation and to formulate opinions as to the fuIf we were merely to consider the quoted prices of our securities there •would be but little doubt but that opinions todav would be unanimously in favor of the market. Depreciation In value has been so great as to lead the conclusion that intrinsic worth is absolutely of no consideration at the present time. This result, however. is but the natural reaction from the long period of dangerous inflation through which we have passed. It merely means that the pendulem has gone to the other extreme. When we attempt to find probable course of the market during the immediate future, we must keep constantly in mind the present state of business and give full weight to the potnt that deflation has not been completed and until It is completed we are more than likely to have further liquidation.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK, Nov. 27—The New York Sun’s financial review today said: "A week of quiet trading and inconclusive price changes was rounded out today by another session of uninteresting business. “The market was made up of special movements, and there was no definite trend to the list as a whole. A sharp advance in American linseed was matched by weakness In Mexican Petroleum. “The steel shares were inclined to sag, this department being under the influence of proposed price cuts. “There was some selling of the coppers as a result of the decline of price of the metal to the lowest level In a number of years. “It was announced that the VirgiuiaCarolina Chemical Company was planning to issue $12,600,000 of 7% per cent bonds.

GRAIN FUTURES CLOSE HIGHER Report of Good Planting in Kansas One Factor. CHICAGO, Nov. 27—Strength featured nil grain issues on the Chicago Board of Trade and the market closed higher. Houses with elevator and seaboard connections were the principal buyers. There was an absence of selling pressure which has been affecting the market. The issues were further strengthened by the report of good planting in Kansas. Provisions were higher on the strength in grains. December wheat closed l%e higher at $1.55%, after an early advance of %c. March wheat showed a gain of 3%e at the close over the opening of $1.48, which was %c lower. Corn opened unchanged at 85c. but closed l%c up. May corn, after losing %c at the opening, advanced l%c to 72%c. December oats opened %c lower at 44%c, but closed at 45c. May corn close up %c at 48%c after an early loss of %e. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Nor. 27 WLeat —The people nt large are not yet confident of the future as witness the action of New. York stocks, also the very emali investment buying in wheat. Apparently no such fears exist übroud, if ideas can be based upon the depiam) from that source for our grains. Germany, which is supposed to be bankrupt,has evidently discovered some method of paying for food, as they are rather persistent buyers of our wheat and rye. There are some who claim this demand is fictitious. If that were true, there would be no competitive buying lq the cash wheat. That there is such buying is proven by the better basis of export bids. Wheat via the gulf is now 23c over December, us against 17c a short time ago Stocks of flour in England are materially larger than a year ago. But the British commission was a buyer of Manitoba wheat today. Our milling friends tell us that the stocks of flour in this couutry are not large, also that the flour at eastern points reported some time since as unsalable is hot a desirable sort. This being so, we should expect u better demand for wheat ft))in millers at any time. Investment buying may be slow In returning, but , the jeonslant absorption of our surplus by foreign countries will certainly steady the market aud probably result In higher prices. Corn—A somewhat better demand for corn from eastern distributors was again noticeable. We anticipate a further enhancement of values. Oats —As Is usually the case, *.he broadening of luterest in oat market lags bobbin the other grains. There is every evidence of a well liquidated market.

COTTON LETTER. NEW YORK Nov. 27—Cotton continue* tts monotonous downward course, maintaining Its daily record for the establishment of new low price*. There is again a surprising unanimity of opinion that cotton is destined to reach still lower levels, which is quite likely In view- of the continued distress that prevails In trade circles and the •anger ever present of liquidation hv those who have been courageous enough ,i<> hold their cotton off of the market We-haw abundant faith that ultimately there will be a turn u:rd that a higher level will filially prevail, but this !t of no value and of no consequence at the present moment. Liquidation Is on and will have to run its course. PRIt ES TAKE RIG SLIDE. ATLANTA.

WANT WRANGLE TO FIGHT TURKS Some League Members See Him as Armenia’s Savior. GENEVA, Nov. 27.—1n a General Wrangel, the defeated anti-Bolshevist commander in the Crimea, now a refugee at Constantinople, several of the smaller’ members of the League of Nations see the logical “savior o" Armenia.” - The league commission examining the Armenian .problem had before it today a proposal by these .powers for the immediate re-equipment of Wrangel’s army and for sending it against the Bolshevists and the Turkish nationalist forces now watching Armenia. The plan i* urged mainly on the ground that WraiP gel's forces are nenre-M to that country. Britain’s delegation was quick to register its violent opposition to any such scheme, pointing out that WrangeL no matter what his intentions may have been, has failed as a military commander and has lost prestige. Delegates of other powers were inclined to support the proposal. They suggested that since Wraugel's forces already were officered largely by French and British commanders, it would not be difficult to reorganize them and whip up their martial spirit, whereupon artillery and money would be the only things needs to make a victorious Armenian campaign possible. Lord Robert Cecil, who heads the commission on the Armenian problem, told correspondents .that $20,000 000 would be sufficient tqe>save the Armenians. He refused to disclose what the commission has decided upon, but intimated that an appeal would be s&nt to the Armenian relief organizations in the United State* to speed up the collection of funds. A sub-commission, which is also headed by Lord Robert, has finished its, wort 01 examining the applications of Austria and Bulgaria for admission to the league. Its report, which will be submitted to the whole commission this afternoon, is kept strictly secret. NEAR EAST RELIEF FACES NEW DUTY Turks Take Possession in Armenian Cities. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Winter hes come, to New York and the wind whistles and howls around the Metropolitan tower. To the office family of Near East Relief, whose home is way up on the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth floors, it is a constant reminder of the bleak winds that blow today on the ragged, hungry, terrified people who are again fleeing before the Turkish advance through Armenia. More than 1,000 persons are now working with all their might to save the Armenian*. Out there in Asia Minor 550 men and women are in uniform—with silver star oa sleeve and cap'. Here in America each State has a Near East Relief director and a group of helpers, while up in the tower an office force of 1:15 keeps the wht.*;ls of the big machines moving. Now when 1,000 persons are Intent upon one object something Is bound .0 happen—and it did. Forty-one million dollars came out of the pockets of the American people and turned into soup kitchens and supply stations and hospitals for the. Armenian refugees. At the end of live years practically every child was receiving sufficient care to keep it alive. Now every one was waiting and hoping for the dnv when tho exiled Armenians could Tetftrn to their homes and the Turks would agree not to trouble them any more. Suddenly comw tho news that the. Turkish soldiers have taken possession of the capl tal and other important cities of Armenia and that the roads are filled with panic-stricken refugees. The Turks have promised that there will lie no more killing hut the Armenians’ have been told that more than once before. The. Turks do not interfere with relief work so that the Christmas table of the Near East Relief will be longer than ever in the Caucasus this year.
