Trading in the corn pit was active and the market was very unsettled, prices fluctuating within wide range. Early in the day the market was weak because of liberal liquidation, due to rains In Illinois and Missouri. Reports of increased acceptance also tended to induce bearish sentiment The market appeared to become oversold on this break and when a little later commits sion houses began to buy freely there was a rush to cover bv shorts which caused sharp rally. Toward the end of the session the market eased off again on renewed profit taking. The close was steady, July opened Is to S-S lower at 52 1-' to 1-2. sold between 51 7-S and 53 1-2 and closed at 52 5.S. Receipts 395 cars 157 of contract grade.

 STEADY.
Right After the Opening There Was 2 Renewal of Bear Pressure, and
 the Prices Based

New York, June 14--The cotton mar ket was a little more active today and ruled steadier on covering of shorts with the close very steady at nct advance of to points. The open Ing was steady at an advance of point so decline of 1 point, which was Just about as due on the cables. Right aI- Ter the opening there was Q renewal Of he bear pressure noted yesterday and prices eased off to a net decline or about to points, which carried the market within points or so of the lowest level of last week. Local pro tessionals were rather aggressive sell CTS on the decline with the idea prob ably that a break into new low ground would uncover stop loss orders, but offerings decreased as the prices work ed down and around 1929 for October there was increased support from scat tering shorts and a little buying for turn on which prices rallied to net advance of 3 to 5 points. The market eased off again In the early afternoon under bear pressure and Wall Street selling followed a weak spot in the stock market, but these offerings were well absorbed around the closing prices of yesterday and the market In the late trading was very firm on covering Of shorts, with the close at the best point of the session.

 position in this market presented un- mistakably evidence of manipulation today. Early in the day prices on July, for some mysterious reason, longs, on becoming unduly alarmed at the apparently downward tendehcy closed out July, closing as low as 10.9S. As soon as weak long interests had been disposed of, the market imme. lately began to improve, and offerings of July contracts became almost as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth. Brokers who received buying orders in July found the greatest difficulty in executing them. and could only do so by putting the market up several points at a time.
 When the market reached the level, of 11.11 for July. there was more cot ton offering and prices eased off slight ly. Later, however, offerings again diminished. and the execution of few more buying. orders carried prices as was reached. there was some profit taking, by scalpers on the long side and prices sank back to slightly lower level. While all these capers months ruled steady, with compara- lively few fluctuations. Spots were officially reported quiet and unchang spots and 400 bales to arrive
 Texas continued as dry as powder house today Drought conditions in the. Southern portion of that State are daily becoming worse. and unless re- lief in the shape of copious rains come soon. howl will come np from this part of the belt that will give the bulls an excuse for touching off more fireworks in the market Undoubted- ly. there Is still somewhat of a short interest in the July position nere, and the short side of the account in De- tober and December has been growing rapidly of late as a result of favor able crop reports from numerous points in the belt. Should shorts be forced to cover generally again. the buying movement this time would not be confined to the July position. But July is the month that will bear the closest watching. both here and in New York. Today's advance may be consid- cred as an indication of concerted &C., ton on the part of the Metropolitan and local bull interests We under stand that some significant telegrams passed between New Orleans and New York today.
 Yours truly.

take his eyes off the wearer Of the mauve dress
for minute or two He was struck by some
thing undefnable in the girls appearance that
marked her out as different from the res6
"Well isn't it exquisite" demanded Lefty
Farington, her inquisitve turquoise eyes glued
to the slender figure in the glimmering mauve
draperies.
"Exquiste-perfect," murmued Kynaston;

shifting her parasol so that shadow fell upon
her lovely, changeful face. Excitement had Civ
en- her color and an added sparkle to her eyes.
Kynaston decided that not another woman in
the crowd could touch her for charm.
He never left her side for the next hour.
They were he declared companions in misfor-
tune, since neither Of them had many acquaint.
ances in the fashionable crowd surging round
them, and during that hour their intimacy grew.
Almost unconscousy Camilla found herself talk

pulled herself up sharply when she found hersef
telling him of her position
"Yet" he ventured as she paused on a word
with nervous haste-"yet forgive me for saying
such thing to YOU, but you don't look as If
things so bad"
Camilla glanced downwards at her exquisite
mauve draperies. The hot color rose to her
face She turned and faced him desperately.
Heaven only knows what madness spurred her
to speak as she did.
"I'm an adventuress-so they'd call me-" she
broke out. "This frock, you, man about town,

something in his tone made his cousin glance
sharply at him.
II wonder who she is? | believe Why,
there's Bill Bellew talking to her I'll get him
to introduce the girl to me-"
And to me-" put in Kynaston dryly. Don't
leave me in the cold, Lefty"
Five minutes later he was bowling before the
divinity in mauye, and heard her name murmured
by Lefty as Miss Derng.p
Happy chance favored them, or him at least
Lefty found so much to say to Bill, Bellew that
Kynaston and Miss Dering dropped behind, the
girl saying little, but listening with rapt atten-
tion to the man he talked lightly of every
thing in the world

he said at last, and wondered at the food of
color that flew to the girls face.

"And myself"
,''Yourself," she repeated.
''Then l wonder why you came?" he queried
audaciously. "Out of curiosity, or, like myself,
boredom"

never pay for them. Do you understand now
what sort of creature you are talking to-"
He regarded her for moment in silence then
drew her aside to shady seat under such a
tree as seldom grows in London Here they
were far from the crowd, screened and in soli'
tude.
"Tell me- he said authoratively, "all about
it. You can rely upon me, and, believe me, am
not so dense as to take you7for an adventures
He listened attentivey as she told him, first
haltingy, then rapidly the entire story. Once he
stirred from his quiet attitude. as he sat there
bending forward. tracing patterns in the gravel
at their feet with the point of his cane-that was
when she told him hurriedly how she had got
the mauve gown, parasol, hat, and entire outfit
on approval, meaning to send it back the next
day since she could not pay for it.
"Other women have done worse" she finished
deianty looking at his grave, absorbed face with
interest. She liked the look of his somewhat
stern, bronzed countenance He was unlike the
general run Of men-the men she had mixed with
in the old days. 1t was refreshing to speak to
someone who understood without the need of
words.
