VIRGIN FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER


NEW YORK, June 22.-The market for
cotton futures opened firm in tone today,
with the first prices at an advance OF
to 10 points This gain was in response
to the English advices, which were better
than anticipated. The early trade was
quiet but subsequently there was greater
activity. and the market movement broad
ened considerably The weather map, how
ever, was quite favorable. and the forecast
pointed to continued favorable conditions.
Further rains in the eastern and central
sections of the belt indicated, and
moisture in these sections appeared to be
needed This condition naturally had a ten
dency to restrict the demand. and the
houses with Southern connections came in
as heavy sellers all around the room. The
McFadden element was a heavy seller and
this cotton brought about lower prices.
However, the dips there was fair de-
mand from shorts and this buying caused
fitful rallies here and there. European
houses moderate buyers, while the
Wall Street interests traded both ways to
a moderate extent However as the day
wore on the market became quite irregular
and the general operations were reduced
saw the chances for scalping operations and
under the circumstances they worked hard
for small profite first in direction and
then in another. Under the circumstances
the nervousness of the price variation was
quite natural. The estimated port receipts
for the day were 1900. against 1885 for the
same day last year.
Caldwell. Ward % Co.'S Market Letter.
NEW YORK, June 22.-It will not do to
charge this advance In the cotton today
entirely to shorts covering, as we have in
previous letters called attention to the fact
that spot interests were buying In now
crop months and today the brokers of this
same interest. said to be large Philadelphia
spot houses have been free buyers OF the
far options. The advance, of course
brought out many stop orders. which re-
suited in upward spurts during the day and
10 cents is now talked OF in some quarters
for this rally The situation as far as sta
tistical position is concerned. is unchanged,
and new crop conditions quite as good
as they were three day ago when o cents
was being freely talked of before the end of
the week. Port receipts tomorrow probably
1900. against 1880 last year. Spots in the
South @kc lower, while New York spots
Is points higher. Liverpool is due to come

CHAPTER VIII.

fVATl HEN Thorpe finally came to
M himself he was in a long,
Ul bright, clean room, and the
sunset was throwing splashes
Of light on the ceiling over his head.
He watched them idly for a time,
then turned on his pillow. At once he
perceived a long, double row of clean
white painted iron beds, on which lay
or sat figures of men. Other figures of
women glided here and there noiseless-
ly. They wore long, spreading dove
gray clothes with Il starched white
kerchief drawn over their shoulders
and across the breast Their heads
were quantity white-garbed in stiff
winglike colts, fitting close about the
oval of the face. Then Thorpe sighed
comfortably and closed his eyes and
blessed the chance that he had bought
a hospital ticket of the agent who had
visited camp the month before. For
these were sisters, and the young man
lay in the hospital of st. Mary.

AOON MI Nun lAoI w
Inorpe, IN common with the other
men, had thought Railways vacation
at Christmas time q mistake. He could
not but admire the feverish animation
that now characterized the jobber. Ev-
cry mischance was as quickly repaired
as aroused expedient could do the
work.
Esprit de corps awoke. The men
sprang to their tasks with alacrity,
gave more than an hours eXertion to
each OF the twenty-four, took a pride
in repulsing assaults of the great en-
envy whom they personified under the
generic "She."
One morning in February Thorpe
was helping load big butt log. He
was one of the two men who stand at
either end of the skids to help the as
cending log keep straight and true to
its bed on the pile. His assistants
end caught on silver. ground for
second and slipped back. Then the
log ran slanting across the skids in
stead of perpendicular to them. To
rectify the fault Thorpe dug his cant
hook into the timber and threw his
weight on the stock. He hoped in this
manner to check correspondingly the
ascent of his end. In other words, he
took the place on his side of the pre-
venting silver, so equaliZlng the pres
sure and forcing the timber to its prop
er position. Instead of rolling the log
slid. The stock of the cant hook was
jerked from his hands. He fell back,
and the cant hook, after clinging for
a moment to the rough bark, snapped
down and hit him crushing blow on
the top of the head.
They took Thorpe up and carried him
in, just as they had carried Hank Paul
before. Men who had not spoken
dozen words to him in as many days
gathered his few belongings and stuff
ed them awkwardly into his satchel.
Jackson Hines prepared the bed of
straw and warm blankets in the bot
tom of the sleigh that was to take him
out.

Who Should BE Admitted to Member
ship In the order.
II. Z. Cook, we'll known member
OF the Order and farmers institute
lecturer, has a very timely article in
the Tribune Farmer of recent date on
the influence OF the grange and who
should constitute its membership:
We are frequently met by the propo-
sition, To what extent may other
occupations and professions be adj
mitted? l took occasion recently to
say at our grange meeting in the pres
ence of so called professional men that
the primary function of the Order was
social, ethical and civic uplift; that so
long as one-third of our population
was agricultural there rested upon
this Order more than the burden of
purely agricultural matters, and that
its influence should reach out and i'm
pregnate the life of our small country
towns--aye, even the interior rural cities
of the land, that are largely dependent
upon country blood for municipal de-
velopment-and that we welcomed
these men, and women from other
walks Of life who came with thought,
culture and proper conception Of
home and civic duty to our ranks, so
long as the leadership, inspiration, in
fluence and guiding light came from
the farmer and the farm home. Such
assimilation with the farmer-the host
lis sure to lead the town man to great
er charity for others and blessing to
himself.
The grange passed through a period
of slouGhing Off this professional and
mercantile acquisition twenty-five
years ago, because those men sought
to make the Order subservient to their
own selfish interests. The farmers had
not at that time, however, developed

anyway asked Thorpe in a low voice
of jackson Hines when the seven up
game was finished.
''Hain't We heard?" inquired the old
man in surprise.
"Why, no. WhatT
Busted" said the old men senten-
tiously.
"How? What do you meanf"
"What / say. He's busted. That
freshet caught him too quick. They's
more than million and half logs
this year, and as his contract calls for
a finished job he don't get nothin' for
what he's DONE"
That's queer rig" commented
Thorpe. Hes done a lot of valuable
work here. The timber's cut and skid
ded anyway, and he's delivered good
deal of it to the main drive. The Nj.
& ID. outfit get all the advantage Of
that"
''They do, my son. When old Days
hand gets near anything 1t cramps. l
don't know how the old man come to
make such a contrac', but he did. Re
suit is he's out his expenses and time"
The exceptionally early break up Of
the spring, combined with the fact
that owing TO the series Of incidents
and accidents already sketched the ac-
tual cutting and skidding had fallen so
far behind, caught Railway unawares.
He saw the rollways breaking ont
while his teams were still hauling in
the woods. In order to deliver to the
mouth of the Cass branch the 100000
already banked he was forced to drop
everything else and attend strictly to
the drive. This left still, as has been
stated, a million and a half on skid
ways, which Railway knew he would
be unable to get out that year.
In spite of the jobber's certainty that
his claim was thus annulled and that
he might as we'll abandon the enter
prise entirely for all he would ever get
out of it, he finished the drive con-
scientiously and saved to the company
the logs already banked. Then he had
interviewed DAILY. The latter refused
to pay him one cent.
The next day Railway and Thorpe
walked the ten miles of the river trail
together, while the teamsters and the
cook drove down the five teams. Un-
der the influence of the solitude and a
certain sympathy which Thorpe mani
tested Railway talked-a very little.
IL got behind; that's all there is to
it." he said. Il bit off more than 1

Thorpe noticed break in the mans
voice and, glancing suddenly toward
him, was astounded to catch his eyes
trimming with tears. Railway per-
ceived the surprise.
"You know when L left ChristmasT

"The boys thought it was a mighty
1por rig-my leaving that way"
He paused again in evident eXpecta-

"Yes, they did" answered Thorpe.
