NEW YORK, Aug. 19.--The cotton market
:rading with prices making new high records.
There was considerable realizing al the start,
and the opening was somewhat irregular with
November rs points higher, while other months
were two points lower to i've points higher. Bull
ish sentiment encouraged. however by the
continued drought in the southwest and the
appearance of buying orders around the ring
here which were believed to be for the account
Of southern Spinners. This led TO a broadening
of demand right after the call with October
selling up 10 32.77 and January TO 80. IA before
the end of the first half hour or 10 TO % points
net higher.
Houses with Liverpool connections were the
big buyers on the early advance which eX-
tended to So. 10 for October and $3.50 for Jan
nary contracts, after publication Of the west
ern belt forecast, or about 60 to 6S points net
higher active months. The more urgent de-
there was realizing which caused reactions of
30 to 60 points from the best toward midday,
Otherwise there little selling in evidence
and about half the losses were recovered early
in the noon hour.
The bullish detailed weather reports for the
Houston and Oklahoma districts failed 70 slim
ulate buying early in the noon hour. This was
evidently taken indicat ling an easy technical
position and the market broke very rapidly
during the early afternoon der realizing and
just before o'clock while January sold off

from the early high levels and of 5S to ~
points from Saturdays closing figures.

CHAPTER XVI.
Al, Quiet tD on the Western Front.

All Quiet ~ on the Western Front.
At brigade headquarters happened
to overhear conversation between our
@. o. c. general officer commandlng)
and the divisional commander. From
this conversation learned that we
were to lombard the German lines for
eight days, and on the first of July the
big push" was to commence.
In few days orders were issued to
that effect, and 1t was common prop
erty all along the line.
Onthe afternoon of the eighth day Of
our "strafeing," Atwell and were sit
ting In the front-line trench smoking
flags and making out our reports Of the
previous nights tour Of the trenches,
which we had to turn in to headquar-
tiers the following day, when an order
was passed down the trench that Old
Pepper requested twenty volunteers TO
70 over on a trench raid that night to
try and get few German prisoners for
information purposes. Immediately
volunteered for this job, and shook
hands with Atwell, and went to the
rear to give my name TO the oficers In
charge Of the Riding party.

sector where two of our communlca-

as the brigade Is to go over the top to-
morrow morning want TO capture two
or three men from these guns crews,
and from them l may be able to obtain
valuable information as to the exact
location of the guns, and our artillery
will therefore be able to demolish them
before the attack, and thus prevent
our losing lot Of men while using
these communication trenches to bring
up re-enforcements."
These were the instructions he gave
US:
