New York, Nov. 7. —An extremely ac tive market and the approaching bureau have had a dampening effect on specula tive activities in cotton today. The market ha 6 been a featureless affair ex cept for some early strength on less fav orable weather prospects and more en couraging drygoods news’ both here and abroad. The trade still bought on a scale down only, refusing as yet to foj low any advances, which had a discour aging effect on early buyers, who liqui dated later in the session, causing a mod erate decline in prices. Sentiment on the floor is rather bearish, due to so many large crop estimates being issued, but this is counteracted somewhat by better goods news and the steady absorp tion of contracts, by the trade on the de clines.

Will Start Next Week Campaign For Hostelry First Reports on Progress Made So Far Will Be Sub mitted at Dinner Next Mon day Night at the Y. CAREFULPROGRAM TO BE FOLLOWED At Meeting Friday Night the Final Plans in Preliminary Stage Were Adopted and All A/e Ready for Drive. The 146 members of the New Hotel organization are gibotit to take the next ' s tep in the carefully outlined program. Which is bringing to Concord the New- Modern Hotel, which she so sorely needs. Every worker is keeping in mind the next meeting of the whole organization Monday evening, November 10. 1621. in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. at 0 o’clock. This will be a dinner meeting and the workers will not be charged for the dinner. This is one of the regular campaign expenses. After the dinner there will be the first official public re port of progress made so far in I the financing of the New Hotel. The Execu tive Committee have been hard at work and there is no doubt that the announce ment of the result of their labor together with their personal subscriptions and the personal subscriptions of the large organ izations will be n pleasant surprise to Concord. The meeting held Friday night in the Y M. C. A. was a great success. Those at the head of the hotel project expressed themselves as being more than pleased at the excellent turnout and the splendid spirit that was manifested. The room wa4 crowded with eager, earnest and loy al citizens determined to do this job and do it well. In the minds of those who know there is absolutely no doubt that this project, which is the biggest and most important ever undertaken by Con cord. will go over in the biggest way that any project, no matter what its nature, has ever gone over in Concord. Friday evening. It. H. Keltner. of The Hoekenbury* System. Inc., director in charge of the .campaign, gave a detailed explanation of the main points concerning which till’ workers desired knowledge. He also gave instructions just how to pro ceed to igsure success. From (lie atti tude of the organization it was very evi dent that tbe informa tion they desired and that they' were anxious to receive the instructions given. The sales demonstration staged by G. L. Patterson. F. C. Nibloek. L. M. Rich mond and T. I). Maness was a great suc cess. There was just enough pleasantry and by-pla.v to keep the audience in a pleasant, friendly mood. At the same time many important points in the sell ing of a prospect were brought out. It should be said to the credit of the sales men that Sir. Patterson was very lmrd boiled as a prospect, but that their pow ers of persuasion were so great that lie finally bought twice as much as J hey ask ed him to buy. After the sales demonstration opportun ity was given -to everyone to ask ques tions. The many intelligent queries that came from the salesmen showed their lively interest and their loyal desire to co-operate. Citizens of Concord are noticing the large board that lias been erected in front of the Court House. This is a score board, iqioi] which will be recorded ev ery day next week the result of the ef forts of the various sales groups. It was evident Friday while the sign was be ing lettered that visitors to Concord were expressing themselves as very much pleased with the fact that Concord was actually going ahead with a hotel proj ect and that very soon there would be provided a hotel worthy of the city, so that hereafter commercial visitors and others would be able to plan their trip so as to stay all night in Concord rather j than to plan them to make some other . city, as they do at present. This sign j board announces “Concord’s Own New | Modern Hotel.” It further states that I the New Hotel is “A Safe investment I and a civic duty.” This carries out the thought which the Executive Committee believe so much themselves and which they wish to • impress upon every citi zen ; namely that those who buy stock are not making a donation but are invest ing both iu their city and in a good sound proposition. It is expected that ' 90000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 I YOUR PLANS I Whatever your plans for the future may be, this Asso- ] | ciation will help you carry them out.

Citizens Building & Loan Association CONCORD, N. C. 8 Office in Citizens Bank Building § . i COOLIDGE WILL NOT NOW PRESS TAX REDUCTION legislation for Farm Relief to Be the Chief Concern of the Short Session. Washington, Nov. 7.—President Cool idge does not contemplate, at least for the present, calling the new Congress into special session after next March 4. nor does he now expect to present any comprehensive plan of tax reduction to the present Congress at the short session which will begin next month. While House spokesmen in outlining the party’s views today indicated that farm legislation and annual appropria tion bills woul dcomprise the principal subjects of congressional action at the approaching short session. Mr. C'ool- t idge late today announced the personnel of the agricultural commission lie has . had in mind for sometime as an agency to study farm needs and it is hoped that , its recommendation can be formulated in , time for action upon them by Congress , before March 4th. ; Insofar as tax reduction is concerned , it was made known that President Cool ’. idge just now does not think it advis . able to re-oi»en tjie whole question of , taxation at the short session with a . Congress which has but recently declared , its position on the subject. He lias not. however, determined on the recommendii . tions he will submit to the session be ginning in December and meanwhile will . study the advisability of taxation recom mendations along with others. Tax Question Not Opportune. The President’s position on legislation problems has given after a day devoted largely to conferences with congressional 1 leaders. Senate spokesmen frankly ex ' pressed the hope that the President would not call a special session, declaring the country had shown no d<>«ire for imme diate additional legislation. Farm mea sures, if necessary, they declared, would be passed at the short session while an other year would, in their opinion, de velop the possibility of tax reduction. Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl vania, a member of the Senate finance committee, declared after a visit at the White House that tax reduction loomed as a possibility to the point of placing the surtaxes below the maximum of 25 per cent, recommended by Secretary Mel lon at the last session. He declared publication of the tax returns, which he endorsed, had shown that the high sur tax rates were futile as a means of col lecting taxes from large incomes, the re turns. he said, showing holders of fortune in many instances were investing in tax exempt securities rather than pay the high' taxes.
