Champa street room. which she was

Miss Gordon makes no pretense at de-

Not knowing that he had been killed
the woman declares that she stayed in
the room all night and departed in the
early morning hours for her home in

She stayed here some time, later going

THE COTTON MARKET.

market opened steady. at a nadvance OF
8 to 6 points. in response to higher
cables than expected, but was only
moderately active. and reacted TO
within 2 or 3 points of last nights finals
during the early session. Fear of dam
age from drought or high temperatures
restricted offerings, while reports of
poor demand from s%pinners and free
offerings for new crop shipments from
Texas checked buying for fresh account.
The market was late in forenoon
with prices at midday ruling about 1
to 10 points higher. the late months
being relatively steady on continued
apprehensions regarding high tenn
peratures in parts of the Eastern and
Central belts.
