NEW CROP DEMAND
SENDS COTTON UP.
Spot Houses and Shorts Continue
to Buy in Face of Extremely
Bearish Sentiment.

NEW YORK, June 17-Lverpool did
not respond to our advance yesterday,
resulting in the market opening barely
steady. with first prices at a net decline
of l to 8 points from Mondays final
But for overnight buying orders the mi
rial quotations would have been much
lower. The feeling around the ring is
bearish and many expressed the belief
that we should have a good reaction as
weather continues favorable. Weather
dispatches reported clear weather over
the belt
After the call offerings became scarce
and scattered, resulting in a short COW
ering move ment. Spot houses also
bought. All the loss was quickly recov-
cred and prices during the late forenoon
were some = to 10 points higher than the
opening gu otations. The advance was
based chic fly on the rumor that the
GOVERNMENTS weekly weather report
would be very unfavOrable, owing to the
cold weather last week. but private re-
ports say that no damage of consequence
was done and temperatures over the en-
tire belt tlre entirely normal.
The we;tther map indicated part cloudy
in the " estern half, possibly more rain
in the entral, south and west Texas
This, coupled with the weekly weather
report, being much better than generally
expected, encouraged freer offerings dur
ing the early afternoon session, result
ing in prices shading a few points from
the early best. when July reached 1922,
August, 1913. October and December
lilo. However there was too much
steam behind the market and prices
quickly retrieved the loss and rallied to
the high point.
One broker was credited. with buying
10000 bales, which was believed to be
short covering. It is generally believed
that the short interest has been greatly
eliminated and prices will recede on any
vices.
At the close the market was steady

Peace of the Pvrenees
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY,

THE treaty known in history as
the Peace of the Pyrenecs"
was signed two hundred and
fifty-three years ago. The story, in
full, is a very interesting one. and
, serves admirably to show how the
events that go to make UP the book
of history are interlocked, the one
with the other in the endless chain
of cause and effect.
In 164S occurred in France the
terrible civil war known as the
Fronde. It was struggle between
the crown and the parliament of
Paris. The parliament was endeav-
oring to impose certain constitu-
tional checks on the monarchy. the
monarchy did not wish to be check
ed. and the consequence was civil
war.
The great Richelieu was dead.
and Mazarin. his worthy successor,
was virtual king Of France, with
Anne Of Austria as regent.
OF Mazarin's life story those who
are fond of the romance of history
never tire. The cardinal found HIM
self confronted by enemies as pow
erful as a man ever had to reckon
with, but such was his astuteness
and pluck that he finally triumphed
over them all, and died. at last
powerful. rich and honored Time
and again powerful factions forced
Mazarin from the court and each
time he was able to formulate in his
exile the ways and means Of a
triumphant return
But he never entered Paris with
more glory than he did when he
came back to the capital with the
Peace Of the Pyrenecs" In his
pocket.
Into the war ~ the Fronde Spain
had been not unreluctantly drawn.
and with Spain France was suu
aghting after the ciyil war had been

settled. France was weary with
fighting, her treasury was running
low, and it was plain to all that
the nation wanted peace.
And so. by appointment, Mazarin
on the part of France, and Don
Luis de Haso, on the part of Span.
met on a small island in the Bidda-
soa for the purpose Of discussing
the situation betweaa the two
countries. 1t turned out thar IN
diplomatic skill Don Luis was but
a boy beside the cardinal. In the
long drawn out game Of diplomacy
Mazarin took every trick, and
about the only thing the Spanish
minister could tell his king upon
his return was that Spain and
France had agreed TO stop fighting
each other
BY the treaty of the Pyreuees
France got many grants. but there
is only one of them that concerns
us here. In the treaty Spain re-
signed all pretensions to Alssce,
and confirmed the cession Of that
province to France.
Great as Mazarin was. he did not
have the power to read the future,
Had he possessed that power as

Arkansas was "a part of the
Louisiana Purchase. Thomas JEFF

Springs. and in 1898 he sent an eN-
ploriug party to the springs to make
a map OF the surrounding country
and report ON the quality of the
waters, and 10 ind out II there was
any one in possession.
So To Thomas Jefferson We must
breathe prayer of gratitude for
Hot Springs Arkansas 1t was his
desire that the springs should not
be polluted; that this. as the In
dams proclaimed. should be neutral

TINE Little Boy was fast asleep.
And such a room as he slept
in-the new yellow trolley
car stood at the very threshold the
fast freight" with it's red engine
and heavily loaded box cars was
on siding at the foot of the bed;
the new tricycle. stood in readiness
close by the big chair; the Indian
suit was hung on the bottom rail
Of the bed, and the firemans red
helmet at the head.

wearing the cowboy "chaps"-wooI
and full half-yard wide-the rope
in his chubby hand, the blue flannel
shirt buttoned over his pajamas.
He must have gotten up and dressed
himself over again before he really
went to sleep at all. Yes, there
