OTHER GIRL ID TELL STORY IN COURT Sensational Letter in the Orpet Case Will Be
 Read

Waukegan, H., June 21. = Celestia William H. Orpet, the University of Wis consn student charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, is expected to take the witness stand tomorrow. By testify ing she may prevent letters which passed between her and Orpet from being made public Judge Donnelly read the letters privately two months ago, and that time said they were the affectionate letters of a sweet, innocent and loving woman, and that he would preserve their privacy if possible.
 Much of today's testimony concerned statements alleged to have been made by Orpet to lawyers, policemen and news paper reporters just before and immedi- ately after his arrest. The jury was ex- cluded when State Attorney Dade sketch ed the purported contents of letters to Orpet from Marion last summer. They were ardent and. jealous in tone. Later the letters became cool. Judge Donnelly took the matter of admissbility under advisement In the last of the letters, written June 22, Orpet said he would call Marion up February and would see her the next day. According to previous tes- timony, Marion had for sometime been curious to know whether reports of Or pets engagement to Miss Youker were true but is said to have told two of her girl friends that she didn't know whether she would see him. She did, however. Her body was found in the snow in Helm's woods the next day.

NARROW RANGE OF
 COTTON MARKET
Profit Taking of Yesterday Worked Against Values
 Close Was at Loss

New Orleans, June 21.-The price of cot ton moved within a narrow range on this market today the most active months at the highest being to points over yesterdays last quotations and at their lowest 6 to ' points under. The close was at net loss of to 5 points. Some profit taking by buyers of yesterday worked against values.
 Around the opening there was a contin- uation of yesterdays buying movement, but the demand was soon filled. Cables were lower and increased rates over the Atlantic were considered against the sale of the crop from this section, although reports were that the belt growth was fine. Bearish expectations regarding the weekly weather reports at Il o'clock led to selling which put the market to the lowest levels of the day, but the reports, especially the summary, were more bull ish than expected and the market stead fed around the middle of the day.
 Spots were unexpectedly quoted at a rise of points which added to the stead mess, but without stimulating any great buying power.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-22
Ayery's Letter

The general sentiment in the cotton market started off reactionary today, but further developments in the Mexl- can situation, which were construed as bullish, large purchases by McF'adden on the opening, spot sales aggregat- ing 75OO bales In New York since yes- terday, and buying by western inter. ests, were new factors interjected into the situation which bulEed prices to 12.s7c for July in New Orleans in tke early trading.
 Most of the contracts were furnished by old longs, who have been standing pat on their contracts and who saw what looked like good opportunity to realize before notice day. This has helped the market from getting top heavy.
 Considerable reactionary sentiment was manifested in both New Orleans and New York, especially on new cror months. The idea that Oc.obers and Decembers above 13 cents IS too high for new crop still persists. Normal ly this would be true. but tliey all for get the fact that each new crop is a la wunto itself, and furthermore to argue by precedent all things must be equal. In addition to this. prices are only relative. These various factors must be determined before we can say positively whether 1S cents is cheap or dear price for new cotton
 Am not inclined to advise new con- mtments on the bulge. but would wait until after notice day and fake a mar ket position then. the extent and nura- Der of tenders will give the trade d better idea of the supply of old cot ton and the demand therefor.

MARKET REACTS ON
 HEAVY REALIZING
General List Closed Steady Net Unchanged to 6
 Points Lower

New York, June 21-A further advance day carried all months above the IS cent level, but attracted heavy realizing and reactions followed with December con- tracts selling off from is.45c to 1S. 27c and closing at 132Sc. The general list closed steady net unchanged to points lower.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yesterdays local advance, but houses with Liverpool connections were good buyers here, while there were a good many overnight buy ing orders around the ring attracted by strength of yesterday. First prices were July selling ct 13.O4c and October at 1324c on the call or more than s per bale above the low level reached on the decline at the beginning of the month. This ad- vance carried active months back to within 10 or 15 points of the best levels reached on the bull movement which eliminated toward the middle of May and evidently attracted heavy profit taking.
 July sold off to 1293c and October to 13. 1Oc. or about to ' points net lower and the close was within a point or two oi the lowest on most positions Reports of continued good spot business in the south helped sustain the late months and the demand was again attributed to exporters who are supposed to be taking advantage of the earlier freight rates and to be hedging their purchases of spots in the Liverpool market Private cables attributed the failure of Liver pool features to fully meet yesterdays S advances on this side to selling by inn ~toI +I,ot freight room had been booked from New York to Liverpool at $1 per hundred com- pairing with the previous quotation of $25
