"You'd better hurry, cause she's

messenger warned, ignoring the direct
question.
The artist followed the speedy little
footsteps that led to the road which
introduced 'Idlers' Lodge" where the

must be some mistake, grille. I'm no
doctor, but an artist-up here for the
summer.

suggested when noticing the exposed
wound, perhaps I can help you By
'phoning for one"
In a moment he was gone.
Returning from the station, Mr..
Clarke assured Miss French that a
physician would arrive In 10 minutes.
In the meantime he tried to make her
forget her suffering by his engaging
manner and interesting conversation.

Preparations were being made at
"Idlers' Lodge" for the invasion of
"The Jolly Ten" Polly French, their
president, left on an earlier train than
the other members, with plans for
dressing up the crude bungalow and
replacing isolation by a homelika
atmosphere.
Buddy Moore, her acquaintance OF
half an hour, she had already adopted
as camp mascot, and the little fellow
proved his worth by running errands
in the locality SO unfamiliar to the
newcomer.

COTTON SUFFERSA SHARP DECLINE ON

General List Closed Steady At a Net Loss of 56 to 80 Points Under Pre-
 viOus Day
By Associated Pres,

New York, July 16.-The continued weakness of foreign exchange and inn proving crop accounts caused further sharp decline in the cotton market to- day. After selling at S455c early, Oc- tober rallied SS.07c, but later broke to S4.25c and closed at s4sOc, with the gen. eral list closing barely steady at net loss of 6 to 80 points
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of A to 40 points in response to relatively easy cables and soon sold 55 to eS points below last nights closing figures. fine looking weather map helped the weakness. A report stated the crop was improving, but said it was 1rulting poorly in parts of Texas and also mentioned the activity of the boil weevn Evidently it's favorable features had been pretty well discounted, for the market firmed up shortly after its pub hcation on trade buying and covering which was probably stimulated by re- ports of high temperatures in the south west. These were not sufficiently high in general to cause any serious activity, however, and the market weakened again during the afternoon under renewed liquidation, local and southern selling. The further break in sterling exchange seemed to unsettle sentiment as to ex- ried July off from 35.15c to 3455c, and January from 3sT7c to 34c.

DRY HOT WEATHER IN CORN BELT CAUSES A SHARP UPTURN
Oats Made Good Gains, While the Provisions List Varied Up and

Bv Associated Press

Chicago. July 16.-Possibilities of cror damage from expected dry hot weather brought about a sharp upturn today ir the value of corn. The bulk of the cror is at the critical period, and the market closed nervous, 1ka3ssc net higher, with September s1.seAas1 .s61z, and December s1 .65%@1. .6s1s
 Oats gained 11zG2%c. In provisions the outcome varied from 15c decline to Sc ad- vance.
 Strength in the corn market developed suddenly when the day was half over. During the first part of the session bears had their own way most of the time owing in the main to suspicious crop re- ports and to reports that as result of the marine strike no embargo had been placed on shipments to Baltimore.
 Besides sterling exchange had dropped to new low record. No general liqui- dation by holders of corn ensued, how ever, and shorts who tried to cover on the decline found the process difficult It was at this juncture that attention became focused on likelihood of a hot wave unaccompanied by rain. Through out the remainder of the day prevailing sentiment was radically in favor of the bulls

BY AsSoct6teo Press New Orleans, July 16.--A soft feeling was taken on by cotton today, the mar ket crumbling in the early trading and again on the afternoon under selling or ders coming from traders who were afraid of the consequences of the con- tinued decline in foreign. Late in the session the market fell away to such an extent that stop loss orders were reached on the long side July traded as low as 34c.
 In the first hour of business much selling appeared, being partly due to the foreign exchange situation, partly to the spread of the marine strike, and fear that it would become international and partly on expectations of favorable weekly crop reports from the govern ment.
 Prices fell off to the extent of 50 to 73 points. The weekly reports were much less favorable than expected, and by noon the market was back to a net level not unchanged to Il points down.
