support from trade sources with the
close very steady at a net
OF from 4 to s points.
The market opened barely steady at

Sunday selling orders, liquidation and
a renewal Of bear pressure inspired by
Indifferent cables, good weather in
the South and apprehensiOns Of 1iQui-
datiOn by the straddling long inter-
est in the near months. Houses with
Liverpool connections seemed to be
buying cotton in the local market
While there was also an active de-
mand from shorts and considerable
buying OF new deliveries by spot
houses. This seemed sufficient to alb
sorb early offerings. With the close or
Liverpool many Of the buying orders
were withdrawn however, and the
market eased of again during the
middle OF the day under renewed pres
sure inspired by favorable weather
forecasts.
Covering again checked the decline
and the market rallied quite sharply
from the lowest late in h day. clos
ing within a point or two Of the best.
Late wires from reported a
break in the levee at Glen Allen,
Mississippi, and private wires earlier
in the day reported a break just below
Helena, Arkansas. The forecast for
showers in Oklahoma and Texas was
considerably favorable as advices
from the Southwest indicate that rain
is needed in Texas. Private GRO ad-
vices indicate hat cotton Is coming

police arrived on the scene q few min
utes after the only evidence they
found were two broken silver spoons
which he had dropped in his flight.
IT was upstairs dressing" said Miss
Hellmann, when heard a noise In the
dining room. I put on kimono and
started down the stairs. When / was
nearly to the bottom of the stairs
looked into the dining room and saw
mans back. He was fumbling in the
drawer OF the sideboard where we keep
the silver.
What do you want? I called to
him. He didn't answer, but I startled
him so he dropped the drawerful OF
silver ware. turned and started toward
me.
Midway between the dining room
and the spot where I was standing
there Is a telephone. There is also a
branch line upstairs in mammals room.
When the burglar made for me
whirled and flew up the stairs. He
evidently OWNED my purpose. for he
started for the phone in the hail. in
tending, I suppose, to prevent me from
getting central Anyway. I rushed into
the room upstairs, slammed and locked
the door and grabbed the receiver off
the hook, shouting. Central. Central,
give me the policer barely had the
words out of my mouth when / heard
the receiver of the phone downstairs
taken off the hook and I knew the
burglar was listening. My heart was
jumping like mad. but as soon as the
police answered the telephone / told
them what had happened and asked
them to send policeman quick. Then
heard the burglar downstairs hang
up the telephone"
Mrs @. H. Hellmann stated that, as
far as she knows, the thief did not get
anything of value. After her daugh-
ter's encounter she said she was very
nervous, particularly as her husband is
out of town.
"I rang up the police" said Mrs
Hellmann, "and asked them to send an
officer to make an inspection of the
premises last night. When he arrived
he looked at all the locks on the doors
and then proceeded to demonstrate how
easy it would be for a real burglar to
gain entrance to the house. / was
quite nervous after he had gone"
