New Orleans, November 1.-The net change for the week in the cotton mar ket was not important, amounting to a net gain of 23 to 28 points on the most ac- tive months Prices ranged over about a half cent a pound, the market being depressed about dollar bale early in the week by large crop estimates and recovering later on threatening unfavor- able weather over the belt.
 During the greater part of the week the trade was occupied in trying to dis count the weather conditions over the belt. A wet freeze was continually ex- pected as the result of disturbances crossing the country and the cold waves which followed them. At one time it was expected that large part of the belt would be visited by killing frosts but the cold weather did not strike far enough south and at the close of <he week 1t looked as if damage through low tenn peratures had been confined chiefly to Oklahoma

Fly MRS. J. B. REID.

There is no discount on the crowds that it is possible to collec. on our streets, and no doubt about the enthusiasm when folks are on pleasure bent. Saturday was an exemplification of this and a joyous spirit took possession of the city Great yellow bows and chrysanthemums could be seen for blocks. darting like so many stars on the highway. everybody intent on the game.
 There is a wonderful fascination in watching the crowds. each individual be- comes an actor; they present study, their costumes. festures and expression, if placed on real stage, would make a successful performance; they are so real, so true to life and sc unconscious that an observer is interested in their pose, not so much the style Of their dress, but the way they are taking things, and from a close study of yesterdays crowd many out for fun wear as serious counte- nance when on pleasure bent as though they were on the way to hospital for physical operation. Half the world knows nothing of relaxing and taking life with the real pleasure at hand. Human nature seems to worry more over the probability of things happening to mar their plans than they would over the real.

old Indian stone. With dismay she
watched her young soldiers scamper-

heard a whoop of delight from Peter
Dolan. the first to reach the Indian
stone.

drops from her eyes, and | just de-

Putting feeling and sentiment aside,
Elizabeth hurried on and overlook the
boys. Then, standing on the very spot
where she and Robert had stood to-
gether, she began to give instructions
to her small army.
By the time this work was done the
boys had lost whatever reserve they
had at first felt because of unacAus-
toned linen collars and unnecessarily
smooth hair and shining boots. Pea

it is the American. Nevertheless,
there always are enough liberal minds

Again her eye rested on large pine
tree spread out in the valley below
her. She remembered watching it
sway in the breeze a year before, and
she idly wondered how many TRACE
dies and comedies it had Witnessed in
its old life.
The boys, in spite of their generals
preoccupation, enjoyed every minute
of their sensible Fourth When the
sun dipped suddenly below the oppo-

sigh of relief but the boys begged for
a little more time

he began to lead the way up the steep

Robert staggered and turned white

rushing past the boys with hard set

At the top of the path he turned to-
