New York. Aug. 22-Riordan & Co. saw Of
cotton to-day: The cotton market continues
unsettled and feverish, chiefly because most
OF the small traders are now short and are
nervous about remaining short at these low
prices When Liverpool this morning sent
US a sught improvement there was a rush to
cover at the opening. and January sold on the
call at O-SOc, points higher than yesterdays
closing. But when the demands from the
shorts mad been satisfied. prices gave way
and IN snort time January had declined to
o.oOc. There was brief rally during the last
hour, IN which $3.50 was bid for January. but
the advance was not sustained. The. close
was dull, but steady, with csc bid for Jan
uary. Inc uneaslness today was due to some
scattering complaints Of rust and shedding in
the weekly Official crop report. But the TACT
remains Jhat as we approach the end OF Au-

remarkably good. and traders here now re-
gard nlne-million crop as almost foregone
conclusion. Under these circumstances it is

those who want to take profits on short

bilt says that her prompt and heroic action
saved him Others declare that Mrs. Dodge
could not swim and only plunged TO the
rescue because she was In nervous fright
and did not know what else TO do. Even
this version. however, does not acquit Mrs.
Dodge of the charge OF heroism. for II she
was In nervous fright il was because she
thought she saw a man drowning before
her eyes, and her action was Just what 1t
should have been IL she could swim.
The how Of It all was thus: Mr. Wander
bilt was giving n swimming party in his
pool. which is simply an artificial pond
separated from the ocean by a wall, so IA
to retain the water long enough to permit
the sun TO warm il sufficiently TO make II
swimmable. The ocean water at Bar
Harbor Is usually too cold for swimming.
Hence the pool. Among Mr.. Vanderbilt's
guests were Mrs. Dodge and several other
young ladies whose names often grace the
society columns Of the New York papers,
and two nephews OF the host, Willie Sloane
and young Elliott f. Shepard, IS and IA
years old respectively. The boys were the
only ones OF the party who knew much
about swimming
Mr.. Vanderbilt could swim a little,
though, and therein lay his danger. After
every pouy Else uhu got wei anu llrtu U
splashing about he started In TO entertain
his company by diving into the deep end Of
his pool, where there is 10 feet of water, and
fetching up at the shallow end. The trick
Is not very difficult one, and George came
up with smile OF triumph beneath his lit
tie black mustache after every effort except
the last. Then he staid down so long that
everybody got frightened, and when he did
come up IL was with the touching appeal,
For Gods sake, save me. somebody" after
which he sank again.
Then it was that Mrs. Dodge plunged In.
Though she could not swim, she managed
TO reach the drowning Croesus, and he
threw his arms about her. This imperiled
the life OF his fair rescuer. for 1t dragged
her also beneath the water. seeing which
the two boys took a hand in the rescuing
business and ultimately managed to drag
preserved and preserver safely ashore.
Mrs. Dodge is daughter OF John Bige-
low, who was United States minister 10
France in 1861, and sister OF Poultney
Bigelow, editor OF Outing. She is about %
years old.

readers TO a distance Of about 10 feet and

his companion then boarded the freight

emphasized their remarks by firing, and in
this manner they ran things according to

The most important advance made in
