Difficult Alpine Climb

From Climbing the Giants Tooth, by
 Dora Keen, in the October Scribner.
 We had started up the tower, a two hour struggle so awful that it will al- ways remain one of the most vivid ex periences of my life. For two long hours, which seemed as if they would never end, I was straining every muscle, every nerve, panting, tugging, struggling, in a frantic effort to pull myself up, three feet at time-up 800 feet of sheer precipice. Only because the holds were firm could such a climb be made at all
 The immense relief and triumph that came with each difficult bit accomplished as quickly gave way to dread, anxiety, even dismay, as I saw that the next ef- fort must be even greater. What I re- member chiefly, what I shall never for get indeed, are the awful moments when I seemed to feel in vain for foothold, while my arms grew weary of holding my weight, so weary that I felt they could not hold much longer; and yet my foot could find no resting place. Time after time I would feel about, first feebly, then madly. then desperately, but still often in vain, now with one foot, now both, for even a toehold, while I hung only by my fingers from some rock above.
 Still worse was it when I obeyed the

Scene of New Story

From "Bunner Sisters" the New Nov
 elette by Edith Wharton, in the Octo-
 Der Scribner.
 In the days when New York's traffic moved at the pace of the dropping horse car when society applauded Christine Nilsson at the Academy of Music and basked in the sunsets of the Hudson river school on the walls of the National Academy of Design, an inconspicuous shop with single show window was in timately and favorable known to the fem mine population of the quarter bordering on Stuyvesant square.
 It was a very small shop, in shabby basement, in a side street already doomed to decline; and from the miscel- laneous display behind the window pane, and the brevity of the sign surmounting it (merely Runner Sisters in blotchy gold on a black ground) it would have been difficult for the uninitiated to guess the precise nature of the business carried on within. But that was of little conse- quence, since it's fame was so purely local that the customers on whom it's ex- istence depended were almost congeni- tally aware of the exact range of "goods" to be found at Burner Sisters.
 The house of which Burner Sisters had annexed the basement was prlvate dwelling with a brick front, green shut ters on weak hinges, and dressmaker sign in the window above the shop. on each side of it's modest three stories stood higher buildings, with front or brown stone, cracked and blistered, east iron balconies and cat-haunted grass patches behind twisted railings. These houses, too, had once been private, put now a cheap lunch room filled the base ment of one, while the other announced itself. above the knotty wistaria that clasped it's central balcony, as the Men doza Family hotel. It was obvious from the chronic cluster of refuse barrels at it's area-gate and the blurred surface of ys curtainless windows. that the families freouenting the Mendoza hotel were not exacting in their tastes; though they doubtless indulged in as much fastidi- ousness as they could afford to pay for and rather more than their landlord thought they had right to express.

Had Good Time at Church

A new serial is starting in the October Woman's Home Companion. It is called "The Daughter of the Morning" and the authors name is not printed. In it this passage occurs:
 After awhile, I come past big church, and I went in. I never liked church, because the minister had al ways kept at me to join and I didn't think 1 was good enough But I knew nobody would ever ask me to join here. But there was one reason why I liked it, even home-everybody acted nice, and like there was company. Once l said that, home, to the table. when every body was jawing. Let's act like we was in church, I said. But it made father mad, and he couldn't understand that l hadn't meant the being good part at all. I only meant the acting nice part
 "In the church it was like that, just as if everybody had company and was on their good behavior They set me in the gallery, and I could see the whole crowd. The hats was grand. But the incest was the colors in the dresses and the windows and the flowers. It was funny, but something in them made me hurt And when the music burst out sudden, it hurt me so that dropped my bag of rolls sos to get down and DICK them up, and yet my mind off my throat I was thinking about 1t afterward, and it was the first music I'd ever heard ex- cept our reed organ in church, and Lena Curtsy's piano, and the movies, and the circus band. And even the circus banc had hurt my throat, too.
 q never knew a word the man said I mean the minister. He didn't tall anynow-he just kept on about some thing, as if he was trying to make some body mean something they didn't mean

COTTON MARKET
 |. SPLAYSSTRENGTH
Late Prices Were at Decided Rise and Tone Was
 Steady
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, October 1.-Cotton dis played surprising strength on this mar ket today. considering it was the week end session of a period of bull trading. It was generally considered that the heavy liquidation of yesterday left the market in a healthy technical position where the buying which developed had more than the usual effect. The feature O. the day was the strong squirt of about 10 points toward the close, for which the only reason seemed to be the revival of yesterdays peace rumors, on which the trade placed an entirely different con- struction from that entertained yester- day At the best of the day prices were 19 to 21 points over yesterdays close. Last prices were at a net rise of IS to 70 points and the tone was called very steady.
 Around the opening the market was heavy and prices fell off under a con- tinuation of yesterdays selling move ment, losing to 9 points just after the call. Good weather over the belt and the announcement of the embargo by Eng land against imports of knit cotton goods were the main topics of bearish com ment. The lower range of values at tracted fresh buying, based on the large mill takings for the week 296, 600 bales, against 194O00 this week last year, ac- cording to Hester, and prices quickly re- covered, and went to & net advance. Only scanty offerings met the demand, and bulls pressed their advantage aggres- sively in the last half hour of trading.

SHARP ADVANCE ON COTTON MARKET December Contracts Reach New High Record for
 the Season

By Associated Press

New York, October 7.-Rather nerv- ous and irregular opening as followed by a sharp advance in the cotton market to- day, with December contracts selling up to 1629c or a new high record for the season, and closing at 16.26c. The general list closed firm at an advance of IS to 25 points for the day.
 There were overnight selling orders around the ring at the start and first prices were barely steady at an advance Of 2 points on October but generally 1 to points lower. December eased off to 17.osc, while January sold at 1694c and March at lille during the first few minutes, or about 8 to 40 points net lower. The peace overtures, which had been considered responsible for the de- cline, and the firmer opening of the stock market, was accompanied by the covering of some of yesterdays Wall street sellers. Buying was also encoun- tered by the circulation of a private crop estimate of Il, 100000 bales, axcluolnS re- ports that some farmers.
 Wall streets other internationals were the prominent buyers and were believed to be covering short, while fresn ouy- ing for long account appeared to De m spired by the continued absence of soutnT ern hedging on anything like an lmpor- tant scale. January contracts sold up to ] 17.24c or even with the previous hlgn i noint, while march sold at 174Oc or Zs points above the level. Morning prices were within 2 or points of the best.
 Reports from the dry goods trade con tinued active, and spot houses were moo- crate buyers during the morning. but ru- mors were circulating that the larger proportion of the recent demand Ior goods had been of a speculative charac- fpr

scolding, anxious, peremptory shouts ol command of Demarchi above me not 10 let go of the fixed cable, always to keep at least one hand on the cable. It was meant as help, but to me it was not a help, rather another source of worry as it swayed with my grasp. The rocks at least, held still instead of swinging me out into space. I was roped securely by the waist both to the guide above and the one below. But to be pulled up IS not climbing, and the rope was merely for safety. It was last resort in case of a slip or for such places as might be beyond the stretch of my five-foot stature But on this peak I did not slip nor once have to be pulled up.
 Demarchi was always above. As truly as the captain of a ship, the first guide" commands the caravane. He is morally and legally responsible for the safety of all.

Fairchild & Co.'s Letter

By Charles F. Falrchlld
 New York, october 7.-(Special)-The cotton market today had it's usual early baptism of fire in the way of liquidation. Its withstood the order heroically and gathered momentum as the day rop- gressed.
 The closing figures were at high ot ~he day on some options the top of the season. As we pointed out in our letter of yesterday, December was the pivot on which the market hinged.
 We have repeatedly called attention to the fact that that opinion was being steadily accumulated by strong interests which were making no special effort to force a sharp advance or alarm those who were short. There was notice able scarcity of December offerings to- day. and just before the close it jumped to 172sc, against early low price today of 17.03c.
 We look for very active and higher cotton markets next week. We believe December will work well over March May and possibly July. We regard tht situation in the December option very dangerous for speculative shorts anc hedge interests. We favor purchases carly Monday.
 The cotton oil market today was strong. December closed at 1o9oc. an advance of IS points from yesterdays

Avery's Letter

By C. Y. Avery.
 Liverpool was closed today and the wise men in the east again began realiz- ing at the opening of our market. which resulted in first quotations being slightly lower than yesterdays close. This level proved very attractive to good people who began buying freely. This buying quickly absorbed the offerings, which soon became very light and the market recovered and continued to advance throughout the session last prices being the best of the day, and around 20 points above yesterdays finals.
 There was no new development in the situation today, spots being quoted un- changed to a shade higher, with large sales for Saturday. Reports continue to come in of exhaustion of stocks, espe- cially through this section A prominent planter from Montgomery stated today that Montgomery county would not get over 10000 bales as against normal yield of 5000.
 We can see nothing but higher prices and advise purchases on any little re ceSsion.
