CHAPTER II.
The Woman and the Car.


Both the girl and the man looked
out and saw in the road motorcar
with a chauffeur and a woman step
ping out from it. For the briefest
space the two women measured
glances. Lady Diana saw tall, rath-
er dark and foreign appearing young
woman of an uncertain age, whose
hair and sharp features gave her, in
the estimation Of any one seeing her
for the first time, certain aspect OF
power.
A moment later she was walking
toward them.
intrusion, and Diana saw that upon
his face was that tragic mask she had
noted when they saw one another for
the first time not so many minutes ago.
80 this is where you come to
sketch so often," went on the woman
from the motorcar. Delightful
place! Pray, introduce me-"
The artist interposed himself be-
tween the two women, almost as
though he feared harm to the younger
of the two.
I'm only a stranger here" he said,
while Lady Diana, with perfect and
cold breeding. ignored a situation that
to one of another nationality might
have been a trifie embarrassing.
Indeed" she said, subtle menace
in her tones. We'll, it's lucky I
found you. If we are going for our
usual spin together Francois wants to
tell you something about the car
the brake doesn't act properly"
Lady Diana was not pleased with
her scrutiny of the other woman. She
was too young to have esteemed the
other fast, but there was a certain
something about the tall and dark in
truder that repelled this young En-
glishwoman. So she continued,
though the other talked at her, to
seclude herself in her British reserve.
The situation appeared to the artist
to need relieving very much. So to

were waiting.
We'll take it down to the village

teered.
But the woman who had come for
him in the motor didn't move. She
was still in hope that Lady Diana
would recognize her existence.
Cant 1t be done here?" she asked,
still cycling the young English noble
woman and anxious for some offer Of
aid that would enable her to make
Lady Diana's acquaintance.
Certainly not" replied the artist,
almost roughly, "and, besides, here are
the horses. The car may frighten
them If we leave it in this neighbor-
hood"
The woman Of the motorcar looked
down the road and saw the Beverley
string being led and ridden from the
exercising on the Downs.
Dear things" she said for Lady
Diana's benefit. How splendid they

supplies, whereas the purely specula-
tive trades are based on the imagina-
tion Of the traders. But 1t cannot be
maintained that imaginary cotton in
ours charges for interest, storage and
insurance; yet 1t Is under the present
trading system treated exactly the
same as actual cotton. Under this
condition the effect Of purely specula-
tive trades cannot be compensation Of
the physical trades. The actual load
on the market Is therefore increased
in proportion to the volume Of the
purely speculative trades.
The market cannot earn the carry
ing charges in the manner prescribed
by the present trading system. The
premiums on the options are uniform
iy proportioned but arbitrary addi-
tions to the normal cash price Of the
staple. The law Of supply and demand
can be depended on to establish nor
NAL price for any staple, but 1t will
never recognize arbitrary prices. This
can be proven by the following ex-
amples:
1. The normal price of the staple is
established by the law Of supply and
demand, and fluctuations occur on the
surface Of this price level due to spec
lative trading. Now II we take the
price established in this manner and
add a fraction to 1.-THE premium
we make the nominal price higher,
but we do not raise the normal price.
That which we place on top Of the
normal price level must therefore
either float on its surface or sink be-
low 1t. 1t cannot be otherwise for the
simple reason that the normal price
cannot rise above its own level.

CERTIFYING COTTON
Thinks Southern Movement Would
Popularize the Exchange.

Thinks Southern Movement Would
Popularize the Exchange.
A canvass of members Of the cotton
exchange shows that among recon-
mended changes Of various kinds and
adjustments to newer conditions, that
certification into cotton growing terri
tory, thereby obviating the necessity
Of bringing cotton to New York, is
one of the most popular Of the pro-
urged that probably no step will go
farther towards removing the alleged
mal-adjustment between the exchange
and the southern cotton trade than
this one of giving to the cotton pro-
duct in its native districts the guar
antee Of the New York exchange as to
quantity and quality of the staple.
James P. Maury, chairman Of the
committee on extension Of certifica
ton, takes the view that If the neces-
sary two-thirds vote Of the members
Of the exchange is given in approval
of their recommendation now endors
ed by he Mendelbaum committee,
strong impulse will be impaired in ia
vor Of the policy Of future contract
arrangements for raw materials in
the worlds cotton manufacturing. The
future contracting system, on the ba-
sis Of New York cotton exchange GER
tification, will, in his opinion. be re-
ceived throughout the textile trade
with much qualification, and that
should help to give stability and con-
fidence to every branch Of the cotton
industry.
R. Siedenberg, Jr., secretary Of the
certification committee, who has work.
ed for years to bring the southern
trade and the cotton exchange men,
bership into closer cooperation on
this point, takes the view that the
elimination of freights to New York
along with rehandling costs may for
the present be regarded as the chief
consideration. But the improvement
Of the cotton warehousing receipts
based on the exchanges certification,
accompanied by accepted insurance
and storage standards, should greatly
improve the service Of cotton as bank
ing collateral and must certainly en-
hance the appreciation of the New
York exchange among southern peo-
pie. The committee representing the
Chamber Of Commerce Of Columbia,
S. c., in urging this step, gave assur-
ance that other localities in that and
other states, would see in it a means
of giving substantial advantage to
southern growers, cotton merchants,
banks and railroads through the
agency of the New York institution.
In the opinion of ex-senator ]. L. Nc
Laurin of South Carolina, the inaugu-
ration Of this system of certification
will go far towards disarming opposi-
ton both in and out Of congress-

Powerful SearchIights.-The n

Powerful Searchlishts.-The new
electric searchlight projectors made by
the Allgemeine establishment of Ber-
lin are among the most powerful yet
to be produced, and their candle-pow-
er which is too high for measurement
can only be reckoned in hundreds of
millions. What is striking is the new
method of regulating the arc. The
large carbons are now moved back
and forth by small electric motors and
suitable gears, current being applied
to the motors by set of relays which
work a ,cording to the current taken
by the arc, thus securing an automatic
adjustment of the arc length in the
best way. The base of the protector
contains other motors for all the
searchlight movements, and distant
lever control is so designed that turn
ing the lever in all directions makes
the protector also follow these same
directions for pointing the beam.
These searchlights will carry several
miles and still give light enough to
read by.

Washington, December 10: What
has become of the historic White
House mint bed? No one seems to
know nor who gave the order that
led to its disappearance. Andrew
Jackson is said to have planted 1t and
no president since that time has
touched it except to pull the richly
favored twigs and leaves from the
branches of the plant. During all the
changes in the White House buildings
and grounds 1t has survived. But the
place where it grew is covered with
fresh earth and there is not a twig or
sprig or apparently a root Of 1t In
existence. The bed was within a few
feet of the cabinet room and not
far from the presidents offices.

TENTH INs1ALLMENT

Tuesday, March o, 1S57.-At an eiec-

Capt. Johnathan Fitchett was elected
mayor Of the northern battalion Of the
western regiment Of South Carolina.
We notice that several nominations
have already been made to fill the gu
bernatorial chair at the next election
Among others, our townsmen, the Hon.
Daniel Wallace is again spoken of to fill
that post It is time that South Caro-
lima should honor one Of her noblest
sons. A self-made man-for brief
period he served her faithfully in con-
gress, and he was beyond doubt the
most prominent and stalwart cham
pion of the Palmetto state. Since 1852
he has been in retirement, and the
state deprived Of the lesson Of his ex-
perience and matured political judg-
ment. This should not be SO. The
state has a claim on him, and we
know there Is no one more ready to
respond to her call, nor more able to
serve her efficiently in any emergen-
CIV. He is just the man to fill the gu
belnatorial chair with dignity wis
dom, firmness and courtesy. We hope
his claims will be duly considered ana
at the next election he will not be log

These latter trades, representing the
actual supplies, exert physical ef-
feet on the market, while the purely
speculative trades, being two-sided
and representing imaginary supplies,
are compensating in their effect. This
latter effect is subject to this quail
fication, that the force Of prevailing
opinion, or sentiment Of the market.
usually carries the price past the nor
NAL price level, but whenever that
happens the opinion becomes wrong
and begins to exert an influence In the
other direction. Price fluctuations are
created in this manner which, how
ever. are necessary and Of distinct
benefit to a speculative market inso-
far as they broaden the market and
facilitate trading. Speculation carried
on In this manner can therefore only
exert a compensating effect on the
market and cannot be considered in

It Is conducted on correct principles.
8. The system under which specu-
lative trading Is carried on provides
for the sale of the staple for spot and
future delivery, and under normal
crop conditions the cost Of carrying
the supplies is added to the spot or
normal price to make the prices Of
the futures" or options" This sys-
tenn Of fixing the price Of the options
has become the rule in all the COM
modify markets. 1t originates In the
theory based on the suppositlon that
both physical and purely speculative
trades have the same basis Of actual
supplies. The theory of common ba-
sis of supplies Is correct from an eco
nomic point Of view and accords with
the principles upon which a specula-
tive commodity market should be es-
tablished, but 1t Is not carried out In
practice; for we find that only the
