 of from 5000 to 5000 bales of heavy
 and light weight sheetinss for de- livery to China in October, November
 and December and other business pend ing.
 Prices on heavy weights for export have been established on basis of I
 cents for yard sheetings and A cents

 ion on ginghams has been followed by very general ordering for future deliv- cry on staples and dress styles. There
 has been a further revision on fine printed batistes for spring delivery this time a reduction of quarter cent a yard to a basis of IF cents being
 made by one of the large western

The ordering has not been h large quantities but jobbers are ap- parently better satisfied that cotton is not to fall to the low levels an ticipated a month ago.

DE SOTO DISPUTE
 SETTLED AT LAST
Neither Arkansas City Nor Helena, But Mississippi River Is Ex-
 plorer's Burial Place

Arkansas City Ark, September 17.-- (SpeciaD Arkansas City will lose out in the controversy with Helena as to the fi- nal burial ground of Hernandi De Soto. but Helena loses out too and that fact may explain why there is no disappont- ment here over the ending of a contro- versy that threatened at one time to pro- duce & town feud.
 As there happened to be but one De Soto and in order to prevent possibility of further trouble the burial argument was submitted for arbitration before Judge Walter Malone of Memphis. 4 His reply is to the effect that both Hell ena and Arkansas City have been over excited. The great explorer was submerg- ed in an ancient sarcophagus in the heart of the stream, he discovered, on down the Mississippi at point near the junction of the Red river. 'F
 Louisiana and Mississippi therefore have the privileges of continuing the warfare taken up by Helena and Arkansas City over the burial ground.

Tim Murphy's New Comedy, "The
 New Code"

How to make home pleasant" Is one of the perplexing problems solved in The New Code,' the comedy in which Tim Murphy will be seen at the Jeffer- son Theatre next Thursday
 Granted, the problem has been solved heretofore, one way or another; but, safe to state, not as MT. Murphy. well supplied with material for the purpose, will naturally and inimicably solve it again.
 With lines preluded somewhat like this: When home is not the Home, Sweet Home of the old song, or there is any other place on earth half 50 alluring," it is no trouble at all to SUD- ply the climax-the kindly smile and earnest concern of an actor of MT. Mnr- phys changing moods and variety of expression.
